Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh maha, oh maha, oh mah. We call an audible.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
It's our number fall, our number four on this Tuesday,
and our reports out saying the Steelers remain interested in
Kirk Cousins even as they wait for Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
The real question is what exactly are the Steelers doing here?
Do they have a plan? And we've also got an
anonymous NFL scout saying the New England Patriots. Yes, the
Patriots are the biggest threat to Josh Allen and the
Buffalo Bills in the AFC East, all because of rookie
quarterback Drake May What do the eyes tell you about that?
(00:42):
And the Raiders have rewarded a J. Cole. You probably
don't know who that is. The Raiders have rewarded aj
Cole with a four year, fifteen point eight million dollar extension,
making him the highest paid puncher in the NFL. Should
we throw a ticker tape parade for the Raiders or what?
Speaker 1 (01:01):
My god? All right, we'll get to all of that
and more right now here.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
It is. Have a great Tuesday. It's our number four.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
Check it out.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
So we had an NBA game last night, not a
good talker as Anthony Edwards decided to be a decoy
and a Minnesota lost that game by two, although they
never led in the fourth quarters. So Oklahoma City now
one win away from causing people at ABC ESPN to
freak out because they have to broadcast Oklahoma City in
(02:38):
the NBA Finals and there'll be seven people who aren't
diehard NBA fans watching and everyone else will ignore it anyway.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Our lead.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
This hour is not from that. We go to Pittsburg, PA.
The waiting game continues.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Tck tck tck tck tick.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
So Aaron Rodgers everan Rogers, he's been out there.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
He's been doing some interview.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
He was chumming it up with his bestie Joe Rogan
and schmoozing in Austin. Spoke at an event there in Austin,
took a shot at the Chicago Bears and whatnot. But
one thing that he hasn't done yet is agreed to
a contract with the Yinsurs Rogers, and he still has
(03:20):
got plenty of time. We're not even into junior. You
have plenty of time to sit back and relax. And
training camp doesn't start until July. There's a mandatory mini
camp which is next month, so that's a bit of
an issue. There's a mandatory mini camp. But if you've
not heard the latest on this, perhaps not. We are
hearing now. These Steelers remain a team to watch for
(03:46):
Falcon quarterback Kirk Cousins, who was entered the chat Atlanta
looking to unload Cousins. You can have him if the
price is right, which is pretty cheap. It's like a
flea market at this point, So let us discuss the question.
The reports out saying that the Steelers, despite locking in
on Aaron Rodgers, are still interested in Kirk Cousins, okay,
(04:10):
as they play the waiting game for for Aaron Rodgers.
So the real question is what exactly are the Steelers doing?
Speaker 1 (04:17):
What are they doing?
Speaker 3 (04:18):
So I've got American Red Cross, Poe and Jeopard T
and we will combine all of these things together and
we're gonna make a jumbo sized meal, Jumbo that's supersized
jumbo size, and we're gonna make that meal out of
the Baba ganoosh.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
So to kick off here, the Steelers, what they're doing
is they they know they have their their A plan.
They're still doing a little window shopping and it's like
it's like if you go car shopping, you're like, well,
this is the car I want. I just have to
find the exact price point that I'm willing to pay
for the car.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
However, I'm still gonna look at some other cars just case.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Now, there was a term. It's a dated term. If
you're of a certain age, you know what it is.
It doesn't really exist anymore. It's called layoway so Aaron
Rodgers is essentially on layoway, which is where you buy
an item, but you have to wait for it. You
pick it up at a later time and you have
to wait for the balance to be paid. And believe
it or not, people used to do that. Yeah, I
(05:21):
like a lot of people. He's ninety five percent, ninety five,
ninety five percent to land in Pittsburgh, Rogers, They're letting
it breathe. I give him a space and I give
him some space there.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Rogers.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
He's a bit of a wild card, a bit of
a wild card and the joker.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
You never know. Rogers could leave Austin, go on.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
A vacation to Peru and then start sipping ayahuasca in Peru,
a venti sized cup of ayahuasca and enjoy seeing pink
spiders and then who knows, But until the teaser crossed
and the eyes are dotted and the DOCU.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Sign is done.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
It is a fluid situation, a fluid situation. But making
this the idea that the Steelers are even considering Kirk Cousins,
who was not only a quarterback who's horrible last season
in Atlanta, This is an American Red Cross Manual situation.
If you read the manual the website of the American
(06:26):
Red Red Cross, they tell you disaster preparedness. You must
have a plan in the case. If you're in earthquake country,
you have to have a plant. If you're in a
hurricane country, if you're in tornado country, you have to.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Have a plan.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Pretty Much everywhere there's some kind of disaster that could happen,
so you have to have a plan. Kirk Cousins is
clearly the contingency plan. He's thirty six, he's still coming
back from the Achilles injury. We played last year, okay,
not much, and he signed a huge deal in Atlanta
and was benched by the time we got late in
the year for Michael Pennex junior, and so Cousins, he'll
(07:06):
get you at least what four games, four good games
a year. He'll give you four average games a year,
and then the rest is probably gonna be some combination
of horrible and worse than horrible. And so if you
want a good fantasy quarterback from like week five to
week you know nine, or something like that, he's your guy.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
He's your guy either way.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
We are told that the Cousins trade would have already
happened by now, would have already happened by now if
the Falcons were willing to eat a big chunk of
the contract. And they've decided they do not have enough
barbecue sauce. There's not enough honey mustard sauce in Georgia
for them to down that meal. I cannot do it.
(07:50):
And they are clearly not prepared to unload Cousins yet.
Now they don't have to do anything until training camp,
so they have another month and a half before something
has to happen until they decide to do it. There's
plenty of teams that would take k Cousins.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Who's good though? Yeah, have you seen some of the
quarterbacks playing in the NFL?
Speaker 4 (08:09):
All right?
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Now?
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Furthermore, we have the anonymous NFL scout always good for
talk radio. Anonymous NFL scout good talk radio. So the
anonymous NFL scout on the record saying the biggest threat
to Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. Here we go,
Buffalo the biggest threat none other than the New England Patriots.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Say what uh? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (08:38):
They they claim because because the rookie quarterback Drake May,
that Drake May is the one. So what do the
eyes tell you on this, What do the eyes tell
you on this? The eyes tell me that that's not outraged. Now,
the only reason the Patriots are the team that is
(08:59):
the biggest threat to the Buffalo Bills in the AFC
East is not because the Patriots are verified, confirmed to
be good, because that's not it. It is a pe
situation process of elimination. The Dolphins are going the wrong direction.
They have a fragile quarterback into a tongue about Loa.
(09:23):
They've got the beastar coach Mike McDaniel, who was boy
Wonder a couple.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Of years ago. Now he's the village idiot. So you
got that.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
The Jets are rolling out another new coaching staff and
they're starting that stiff Justin Fields. Now there is a cult,
I believe it's mostly bots online and low information fans
dummies that think Justin Fields is a good NFL quarterback.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
For the rest of us, we know that is not
the case.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Now, New England the positives. They have Mike Rabel, who
polished a lot of turds in Tennessee and got that
team him into the playoffs on a semi regular basis.
Put a lot of lipstick on pigs. So he's got that,
and they've sprinkled in some additions. They've spent some money,
not an outrageous amount of money to improve the defense
(10:13):
and offense. And so the most important element there is
they play a schedule filled.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
With a lot of tomato cans. There's a lot of
tomato cans.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
And so if you use deductive reasoning, if you use
deductive reasoning and you look at everything, you say the
schedule sucks, You've got a pretty good coach. I'd say
the top coach in the division is Mike Rabel. At
least he gives you the vibe he's the top coach.
And then you got Drake May. And I'm not convinced
that Drake May is great at this point.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I have him on my big board. Average.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Average is not bad, average is okay, it's just not great.
I'm not ready to say that he's the second coming
of whoever. I'm not ready to do that. All right, now,
last thing, quick, right, all right, last time we go
to Vegas, Viva Las Vegas. We go to Vegas where
the Raiders made some news on the holiday weekend.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
What did they do well? The Raiders? While no one
was paying attention.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Well, people were out barbecuing and enjoying themselves and going
on picnics and things like that. To deal with the
holiday weekend. The Raiders are like, you know what I'm
gonna do. We are going to pay A. J. Cole
a big extension. We're gonna give aj Cole the amount
of money that makes him the highest paid punter in
the NFL. That's right, punter. So should we throw a
(11:36):
ticker tape parade for Tom Brady or what the executive
who's shadow GMGM by proxy of the Raiders. So Tom
Brady has done it again. And we're the only ones
I know, we're not part of the mainstream. I know
you're doing the Overnight show.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
You.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
I know that we're the only ones pointing out the
malfeasance of Tom Brady, who is the GM by proxy
of the Raiders. And this is another move. Let's play jeopardy.
What do you say? Let's play jeopardy. I'll take things
you don't want your NFL team to lead the league
in for one thousand.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Dollars the late great Alex Trubek.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Yeah, things you don't want your NFL team to lead
the league in for one thousand dollars. Now you know
what you do want. You want the highest paid quarterback, right,
you want that. You'd like to have the highest paid
defensive player. The Raiders briefly had that with Max Crosby.
You'd like to have the highest paid wide receiver, the
highest paid offensive tackle.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
The thing you don't want is the highest paid punter.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
You don't want that, and the Raiders have done it,
and they've done it with Tom Brady. Tom Brady signed
off on it. It's a punter. You don't want the
NFL's highest paid punter. Now, I'm gonna tell you the
position doesn't matter. We know the position matters, right fuel position.
Yet to give the biggest contract out to a punter
(13:02):
is a waste of resources.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Right.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
You've got other players who are serviceable players like Jacoby
Myers who's looking for a new contract.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
There's a couple offensive.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Linemen who are in line to get new contracts and
their free agents after this season. And yet your priority, priority,
number one, is to pay number top dollar to your
idiot punter, like who's literally his job is to give
(13:32):
the ball to the other team. If he's really good
at his job, he's giving the ball to the other
team now deep in their own territory. The reason you
don't pay a punter, I'm gonna explain this to you
like you're five years old. Okay, you don't pay a
punter that much money because it's a crutch. If you
pay a punter top dollar, you feel you have to
(13:54):
use the punter in situations where you may go for it.
Unfourth down, he's say, well, I mean, we've got the
top punter in the NFL. We got to use the punter.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
He's great. Ye, we're paying him the most money. We
gotta use the guy. I don't want that. I don't
I want nothing to do with that. I want no
part of that. And yet the Raiders signed up for that.
They say, yes, we want.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
So Pete Carroll, good old Pete, ninety seven year old
Pete Carroll, out there doing his thing, and and there
you go.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
So fourth down, it's fourth and two, you're gonna go
for it.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Wow, we're gonna go for it. But we have the
NFL's highest paid punter. We we're gonna punt the ball
the way. Whoopy, damn dude, how do we do all?
Speaker 6 (14:35):
Right?
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Now?
Speaker 3 (14:37):
I don't know about you. When I see the punt team,
run on the field. I go get a snack, is
what I do. So you just paid a guy who
when you see him, it's snack time. It's get a
ball of snacks, get some cheese puffs.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Jeez. All right, anyway, it is the.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Best Mahlor's show. As we are rolling on, I did
want to say, we don't do shout outs. As you know,
we're not a morning show. We're not a morning show. However,
I did want to say member of the Fox Sports
Radio Alumni Association and someone I consider a casual acquaintance.
I've I've gotten to know him a little bit. I
haven't worked together in years. Jim Mora celebrated his ninetieth
(15:22):
birthday the other day. Jim's one of the coolest people
that worked here at Fox Sports Radio back in the day.
I actually sat with Jim Mora during Katrina.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
You know what that is, Lorena? No, that was a story.
You don't know what Katrina is not like the hurricane. Yes,
she was a girl you were seeing.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
No, it was the storm that came through My second guess.
Really that was like you were a lot, you were
an adult when that happened or maybe it weren't. How
when was that was that like five or something? Was
that was that early two thousand? Yeah? That's I mean,
oh I was twenty years ago? Has it been twenty years?
(16:03):
Probably longer? Drew Brees won the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
All the way the year Fox that was eight day
so that's still seventeen O nine they won and O
nine right, the O nineteen won the Super Bowl. Anyway,
Jim Moore turned ninety, so we don't do shoutouts. But
he was at the gym there he's working out, busting
some weight.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (16:21):
All right, it is the Ben Mahlor Show. As we

what was that You start to tell us a story
about sitting with him during Katrina and then you don't
tell well.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
No, I sat.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Jim was working here, Ryan and Maine. Jim was working
here and he coached the Saints for many many years,
and so were we were watching the coverage while we
were doing the show, and Jim was pointing out, like
these are like the different parishes around New Orleans that
were flooded during the event. I have a very vivid
memory of that experience because I didn't.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
I've never been to New Orleans.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
I don't only know New Orleans, and so Jim had
been there obviously, lived there for years, and he was
talking about everything that was going on and going through
the whole thing. It was very emotional for him because
he has a lot of friends there. He still does
local TV in New Orleans. He's ninety years old. Last year,
at age eighty nine, Jim popped up on the postgame
local TV doing hot Saints talk.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
So he's still doing stuff. He popped up my podcast,
popped up on my podcast a while back. I was
actually thinking about calling him to see if he'd come
on the pod, But I don't know. He's ninety. I
don't want to bother I mean, you know.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
But then, but then, last time I talked to him,
he seemed bothered that people didn't want to bother him
because he was so old. So maybe I good bother
him because he wants people to bother him.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Damned if you do, Damned if you don't. Yeah, I mean,
when you're ninety, I don't know, you know, Ben, we
miss all the shots. You don't take bad look at you.
I've heard that somewhere. Wayne Gretzky. Look at that. You
miss all the shots. You don't. So you're quoting a
Canadian because we're going to be in Canada. That's right. No,
that's Malor meet and Greek coming up. Malar meeting Gree.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
If you're able to make it, if it's geographically desirable
for you, we'd love to meet you. We are looking
forward to hanging out. We've been on the radio in Vancouver,
British Columbia for many, many years and it's gonna be
awesome to hang out. I want to thank Nico, the
hostess with the mostest for making this possible. And Thursday night,
that is the only scheduled event. We were supposed to
(19:43):
go to the soccer game. They have moved that to Mexico.
We will not be flying to Mexico for the game.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
We will stay. No, no, it's all cod.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
So we're looking for to that nice Canadian hospitality, something
like that, something like that, and a beautiful waterway. They've
got the planes that like land on the water. That's
kind of cool to sit there and watch that for
a while. We do that and we'll see what else
they have going on in Vancouver. It's gonna be a
lot of fun so course side I mean details on
the social media on Instagram and Facebook. But coming up
(20:15):
Thursday night, seven to ten, we will be there. Hopefully
you can come out if you're in the area and
say hello. Let's go to the phones and we'll say
hello to blind Scott who's on the north end of Boston.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Hello, blind Scott, Hey.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
What's up here?
Speaker 8 (20:30):
We got a big matchup between the Carolina Hurricanes and
I'm my old neighbor Brad mar Shawn on the Florida Panthers.
I guess they keep those snacks in the locker room
for every game. I was a college hockey player, like
very briefly because I got cut from the team because
I was legally blind. But the amount of skating you
have to do in a hockey game is way more
than any activity you would do in a baseball game Lorena,
(20:53):
or in like a football game or any type of sport.
The activity in hockey is you know, these guys, remember you, Yager,
He was the stud. He played hockey for us to
ride and exercise by those guys are really conditioned athletes.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Well you know it's man, how much ice tithing ageat.
But these guys went out. We did a story earlier
because Brad Marshan said he ate. He confirmed he ate
a blizzard, a cookie dough blizzard. They went out and
bought it before the game. They went to Dairy Queen
before the game to buy it.
Speaker 8 (21:21):
Yeah, but why would he He had the spoon upside down.
They talked about this in Boston. Actually he was holding
the spoon upside down when he was eating it.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Like some people like to put the meat of the
you know, the spoon the good stuff. They like to
put it right on the tongue.
Speaker 8 (21:35):
I don't know how that that doesn't shun dude, you know.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
If they no think about it, Scott, even when you're
you're blind. If the spoon is like most people put
the spoon in with the the stuff so it hits
the top of your mouth. But the tongue is the
money maker. That's what gets the taste. That's the taste
buds is on the tongue. So you might the delivery
system right on the tongue. You cut off the part
where it hits the top of the mouth and goes
(21:59):
right on.
Speaker 8 (21:59):
The It goes right in your bloodstream. Like if you
take medication, you dissolve it under your tongue. You know, dude,
they have a problem with birds here in Boston. Boston
just passed this law. If you're going to put glass
and your window, it has to be bird friendly glass.
There's a huge population of rats here. It brought these
rare owls in here, the snowy owls in the North End.
It's so cool now there's out there's owls everywhere.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
Dude.
Speaker 8 (22:22):
Like one other thing, like you were talking about the
hurricane in Houston and that guy Deacon, he actually is
a really good call. That guy. Don't listen to man Wel.
You know, man Wuel's a pretty good call. But even
Petros Papadagas won't let him on anymore.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
That's what happens.
Speaker 8 (22:35):
You become a big time celebrity caller. The host doesn't
want you to steal.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Them there, but Petros doesn't even take calls anymore though, right,
I don't take you.
Speaker 8 (22:44):
I've met Petro's in the North End. I was part
of his show, like right around the time when you
were getting your career going. He was at the cigar
Bar on like maybe like twenty twenty three years. I
listened to that gym.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Yeah, I interviewed petrols when he was in college at
USC So I don't know about that, but right, yeah,
got you.
Speaker 8 (23:00):
So he in two thousand and six they were on
the National Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Was like, well, at least Boston. Yeah, they were on briefly.
But Boston does not have midges, right, they don't have
that the swarm of bugs they have like in Cleveland.
Speaker 8 (23:12):
They don't have no because they don't even have mosquitoes here, ticks.
Like when I was working dogs, I didn't even have
to use tick medication. It's awesome, But that's because of
maybe pollotion. I don't know, but I was.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
I was checking out the Cleveland Dodger game and they
they were they had a swarm of midges that arrived.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
You know, people were spitting them out of their mouth,
these little bugs. A storm of midgets. No midges, M
I D G E. S. That's a different place where
they have that's snow white.
Speaker 8 (23:45):
They have no market, dude, been that Cleveland radio market.
That's the best radio market in the United States. I've
been listening to it. We don't have many cars from there,
but if we could talk Cleveland stories, we could get
some really good calls from there.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Are you Are you touching up my work?
Speaker 3 (23:59):
Are you programming I mean the show that we should
we should suck up to the people of Cleveland.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Is that what you're saying.
Speaker 8 (24:03):
Well, I looked at the top fifteen radio markets. The
top number fifteen it is Minnesota. We kind of need
to touch all of them if we're going to grow.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
If we're going to grow, the show now programming the
show now, Blind Scott is now programming the shit.
Speaker 8 (24:15):
I do that to everybody's show. Actually, you know, I
don't get on the other show after this that much
because I'm on this show and people hear me.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Yeah, there's no there's no need to go on that
other show. I thank you. I appreciate that. Are you
wearing a Boston hat?
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Ben? Uh?
Speaker 3 (24:30):
No, I'm wearing a hat that was given to me
from Alf the Alien opiner. This is a Buffalo Bison hat. Oh,
it's a b hat. I have mostly b hats, not
of Boston hats. Then big Buffalo Boston Ben, Well, you
know whatever, you can say what it is, but the
b have a b collection of hats, and so this
added to my collection. Let's say hello to Bruce. Now,
(24:53):
I think this is the guy that walks around in
Santa Monica. Is this is this you, Bruce?
Speaker 5 (24:57):
It is good morning?
Speaker 1 (24:58):
How man?
Speaker 6 (24:59):
It is?
Speaker 1 (25:00):
How many steps?
Speaker 7 (25:00):
How many?
Speaker 1 (25:01):
How many steps we got today?
Speaker 5 (25:04):
I'm in the in the it's twenty thousand range. But
when I called you yesterday, I was walking today. I
started earlier. I started about nine thirty and finished at
one thirty.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Oh you're already done. Oh look at that any now?
Speaker 3 (25:16):
And you averaged twenty thousand steps at night?
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Is that your deal?
Speaker 5 (25:19):
Well? I tried. Come on, I sometimes i have to
go grocery shopping, or I've got other family matters. So
for example, I did about twelve days in a row recently,
and then I had to take off a couple because
I just had other things I had to do. And
now I've done four in a row.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
A game.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
You know, that's great, that's good. That's why I do this.
I like to walk a lot too. I mean, I
get my steps in. But that's wonderful.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
But it's not quite as glamorous as it sounds. Up
then I'll tell you why.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
I walk very slowly.
Speaker 5 (25:45):
I don't want to give you the feeling it's a
power walk or anything. It's a slow walk. And I'm
listening to the radio.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
All right, Well, you're moving your body though, body and
movement is the way to go, right. You just got
to keep your body moving.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
But it's four hours without stopping, you know.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
That's good? Solid.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
Okay, I talk to you about a little bit about something.
The National Football League, as you know BEN, is by
far the most popular sports league in North America an
average of twenty not an average. They have the last
I heard, twenty billion dollars in average in in annual revenues.
There is no second place. If you want to go
(26:19):
to the other ones, the second place would be NCAA football,
third would be NBA, fourth would be MLB, and fifth
would be the National Hockey League the w NBA. The
w n B A is triple A basketball, Triple A basketball,
similar to triple A baseball or triple A hockey. Okay,
And the reason it's having a minute of being very
(26:42):
popular right now is because it's very politically incorrect to
say so.
Speaker 6 (26:47):
And but.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
The numbers, the numbers bear up, Bruce. It's Caitlin Clark.
People will watch her, but they're not watching anywhere. By
the way, are you from Are you from Canada?
Speaker 1 (26:58):
You're from Canada? Am I right me? You know why
you're not? Really I'm wrong? You are you from Welles?
I got I gotta like a Canadian vibe? Am I wrong?
Speaker 6 (27:10):
No?
Speaker 5 (27:10):
No, no, I'm not from Canada.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Where you from from?
Speaker 6 (27:15):
L A?
Speaker 5 (27:15):
From riginally Chicago, ton l A.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Okay, all right?
Speaker 4 (27:20):
How do you get Canada?
Speaker 5 (27:20):
I'm curious.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
I just got a Canadian vibe? And Lorrainey, you got
what vibe? Did you get Canadian vibe? I don't really
know it sounds like besides Moose.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
I thought I thought that when I screened his phone,
thought Canadians from from the Chicago, so like a Chicago.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
You know, it's sounds Chicago, upper.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
Midwest can sound very similar to Canada.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Okay, all right, I got you Canada?
Speaker 3 (27:45):
All right? So your point, Your point, though, Bruce, is
that your point is the w n B A blows
and that people don't want to say that because you
get in trouble if you say that.
Speaker 5 (27:56):
What the w n B the w n B A
is is on the act of an attractive, young white
female player who can shoot the lights out full stop.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Okay, all right, listen, we'll find she's gone for the
next couple of weeks, so we'll see if anyone's watching
the w n B.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
No one would care for any other reason. Once she's gone,
if she's not replaced by someone else similar, Yeah, then
then it retreats to Triple A baseball, MLS, soccer.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
Stuff like that.
Speaker 5 (28:22):
I got you, I got you the women's Did you
know Ben that tonight that the Minnesota charge won the
uh the women's the new Women's National Hockey League championship tonight?
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Oh I missed that. That's bad job by me.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
There you go, that's what it would be relegated to.
But it has Caitlin Clark, who is for the reasons
I gave uh uh great television.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
I keep in mind when.
Speaker 5 (28:47):
You're when you're watching basketball on TV, you got close
ups of the face like in no other sport. Okay, football,
you got masks on hockey, you got uh helmets on soccer,
they don't have anything on but the field is very big,
so you rarely get close ups of the face basketball.
If you've got someone who's nice.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
To look at you, it does help. It does help,
it does. I gotta go, but thank you, Bruce, Bruce
de Walker. We gotta get your nickname. You're gonna call
every day. We gotta get your nick na. Thank you, Bruce.

Speaker 3 (39:55):
First quarterback in NFL history to win the first six
career regular season starts and throw the two touchdowns in each.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
Of those starts, It is Brock Party. Brock Party is
the answer. Nobody wins Brock Party.
Oh maha, oh maha, oh mah. We call an audible.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
It's our number fall, our number four on this Tuesday,
and our reports out saying the Steelers remain interested in
Kirk Cousins even as they wait for Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
The real question is what exactly are the Steelers doing here?
Do they have a plan? And we've also got an
anonymous NFL scout saying the New England Patriots. Yes, the
Patriots are the biggest threat to Josh Allen and the
Buffalo Bills in the AFC East, all because of rookie
quarterback Drake May What do the eyes tell you about that?
(00:42):
And the Raiders have rewarded a J. Cole. You probably
don't know who that is. The Raiders have rewarded aj
Cole with a four year, fifteen point eight million dollar extension,
making him the highest paid puncher in the NFL. Should
we throw a ticker tape parade for the Raiders or what?
Speaker 1 (01:01):
My god? All right, we'll get to all of that
and more right now here.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
It is. Have a great Tuesday. It's our number four.
We are family.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Welcome.
Speaker 3 (01:19):

Speaker 1 (02:15):
Check it out.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
So we had an NBA game last night, not a
good talker as Anthony Edwards decided to be a decoy
and a Minnesota lost that game by two, although they
never led in the fourth quarters. So Oklahoma City now
one win away from causing people at ABC ESPN to
freak out because they have to broadcast Oklahoma City in
(02:38):
the NBA Finals and there'll be seven people who aren't
diehard NBA fans watching and everyone else will ignore it anyway.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Our lead.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
This hour is not from that. We go to Pittsburg, PA.
The waiting game continues.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Tck tck tck tck tick.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
So Aaron Rodgers everan Rogers, he's been out there.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
He's been doing some interview.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
He was chumming it up with his bestie Joe Rogan
and schmoozing in Austin. Spoke at an event there in Austin,
took a shot at the Chicago Bears and whatnot. But
one thing that he hasn't done yet is agreed to
a contract with the Yinsurs Rogers, and he still has
(03:20):
got plenty of time. We're not even into junior. You
have plenty of time to sit back and relax. And
training camp doesn't start until July. There's a mandatory mini
camp which is next month, so that's a bit of
an issue. There's a mandatory mini camp. But if you've
not heard the latest on this, perhaps not. We are
hearing now. These Steelers remain a team to watch for
(03:46):
Falcon quarterback Kirk Cousins, who was entered the chat Atlanta
looking to unload Cousins. You can have him if the
price is right, which is pretty cheap. It's like a
flea market at this point, So let us discuss the question.
The reports out saying that the Steelers, despite locking in
on Aaron Rodgers, are still interested in Kirk Cousins, okay,
(04:10):
as they play the waiting game for for Aaron Rodgers.
So the real question is what exactly are the Steelers doing?
Speaker 1 (04:17):
What are they doing?
Speaker 3 (04:18):
So I've got American Red Cross, Poe and Jeopard T
and we will combine all of these things together and
we're gonna make a jumbo sized meal, Jumbo that's supersized
jumbo size, and we're gonna make that meal out of
the Baba ganoosh.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
So to kick off here, the Steelers, what they're doing
is they they know they have their their A plan.
They're still doing a little window shopping and it's like
it's like if you go car shopping, you're like, well,
this is the car I want. I just have to
find the exact price point that I'm willing to pay
for the car.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
However, I'm still gonna look at some other cars just case.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Now, there was a term. It's a dated term. If
you're of a certain age, you know what it is.
It doesn't really exist anymore. It's called layoway so Aaron
Rodgers is essentially on layoway, which is where you buy
an item, but you have to wait for it. You
pick it up at a later time and you have
to wait for the balance to be paid. And believe
it or not, people used to do that. Yeah, I
(05:21):
like a lot of people. He's ninety five percent, ninety five,
ninety five percent to land in Pittsburgh, Rogers, They're letting
it breathe. I give him a space and I give
him some space there.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Rogers.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
He's a bit of a wild card, a bit of
a wild card and the joker.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
You never know. Rogers could leave Austin, go on.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
A vacation to Peru and then start sipping ayahuasca in Peru,
a venti sized cup of ayahuasca and enjoy seeing pink
spiders and then who knows, But until the teaser crossed
and the eyes are dotted and the DOCU.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Sign is done.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
It is a fluid situation, a fluid situation. But making
this the idea that the Steelers are even considering Kirk Cousins,
who was not only a quarterback who's horrible last season
in Atlanta, This is an American Red Cross Manual situation.
If you read the manual the website of the American
(06:26):
Red Red Cross, they tell you disaster preparedness. You must
have a plan in the case. If you're in earthquake country,
you have to have a plant. If you're in a
hurricane country, if you're in tornado country, you have to.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Have a plan.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Pretty Much everywhere there's some kind of disaster that could happen,
so you have to have a plan. Kirk Cousins is
clearly the contingency plan. He's thirty six, he's still coming
back from the Achilles injury. We played last year, okay,
not much, and he signed a huge deal in Atlanta
and was benched by the time we got late in
the year for Michael Pennex junior, and so Cousins, he'll
(07:06):
get you at least what four games, four good games
a year. He'll give you four average games a year,
and then the rest is probably gonna be some combination
of horrible and worse than horrible. And so if you
want a good fantasy quarterback from like week five to
week you know nine, or something like that, he's your guy.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
He's your guy either way.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
We are told that the Cousins trade would have already
happened by now, would have already happened by now if
the Falcons were willing to eat a big chunk of
the contract. And they've decided they do not have enough
barbecue sauce. There's not enough honey mustard sauce in Georgia
for them to down that meal. I cannot do it.
(07:50):
And they are clearly not prepared to unload Cousins yet.
Now they don't have to do anything until training camp,
so they have another month and a half before something
has to happen until they decide to do it. There's
plenty of teams that would take k Cousins.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Who's good though? Yeah, have you seen some of the
quarterbacks playing in the NFL?
Speaker 4 (08:09):
All right?
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Now?
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Furthermore, we have the anonymous NFL scout always good for
talk radio. Anonymous NFL scout good talk radio. So the
anonymous NFL scout on the record saying the biggest threat
to Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. Here we go,
Buffalo the biggest threat none other than the New England Patriots.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Say what uh? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (08:38):
They they claim because because the rookie quarterback Drake May,
that Drake May is the one. So what do the
eyes tell you on this, What do the eyes tell
you on this? The eyes tell me that that's not outraged. Now,
the only reason the Patriots are the team that is
(08:59):
the biggest threat to the Buffalo Bills in the AFC
East is not because the Patriots are verified, confirmed to
be good, because that's not it. It is a pe
situation process of elimination. The Dolphins are going the wrong direction.
They have a fragile quarterback into a tongue about Loa.
(09:23):
They've got the beastar coach Mike McDaniel, who was boy
Wonder a couple.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Of years ago. Now he's the village idiot. So you
got that.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
The Jets are rolling out another new coaching staff and
they're starting that stiff Justin Fields. Now there is a cult,
I believe it's mostly bots online and low information fans
dummies that think Justin Fields is a good NFL quarterback.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
For the rest of us, we know that is not
the case.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Now, New England the positives. They have Mike Rabel, who
polished a lot of turds in Tennessee and got that
team him into the playoffs on a semi regular basis.
Put a lot of lipstick on pigs. So he's got that,
and they've sprinkled in some additions. They've spent some money,
not an outrageous amount of money to improve the defense
(10:13):
and offense. And so the most important element there is
they play a schedule filled.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
With a lot of tomato cans. There's a lot of
tomato cans.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
And so if you use deductive reasoning, if you use
deductive reasoning and you look at everything, you say the
schedule sucks, You've got a pretty good coach. I'd say
the top coach in the division is Mike Rabel. At
least he gives you the vibe he's the top coach.
And then you got Drake May. And I'm not convinced
that Drake May is great at this point.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I have him on my big board. Average.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Average is not bad, average is okay, it's just not great.
I'm not ready to say that he's the second coming
of whoever. I'm not ready to do that. All right, now,
last thing, quick, right, all right, last time we go
to Vegas, Viva Las Vegas. We go to Vegas where
the Raiders made some news on the holiday weekend.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
What did they do well? The Raiders? While no one
was paying attention.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Well, people were out barbecuing and enjoying themselves and going
on picnics and things like that. To deal with the
holiday weekend. The Raiders are like, you know what I'm
gonna do. We are going to pay A. J. Cole
a big extension. We're gonna give aj Cole the amount
of money that makes him the highest paid punter in
the NFL. That's right, punter. So should we throw a
(11:36):
ticker tape parade for Tom Brady or what the executive
who's shadow GMGM by proxy of the Raiders. So Tom
Brady has done it again. And we're the only ones
I know, we're not part of the mainstream. I know
you're doing the Overnight show.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
You.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
I know that we're the only ones pointing out the
malfeasance of Tom Brady, who is the GM by proxy
of the Raiders. And this is another move. Let's play jeopardy.
What do you say? Let's play jeopardy. I'll take things
you don't want your NFL team to lead the league
in for one thousand.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Dollars the late great Alex Trubek.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Yeah, things you don't want your NFL team to lead
the league in for one thousand dollars. Now you know
what you do want. You want the highest paid quarterback, right,
you want that. You'd like to have the highest paid
defensive player. The Raiders briefly had that with Max Crosby.
You'd like to have the highest paid wide receiver, the
highest paid offensive tackle.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
The thing you don't want is the highest paid punter.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
You don't want that, and the Raiders have done it,
and they've done it with Tom Brady. Tom Brady signed
off on it. It's a punter. You don't want the
NFL's highest paid punter. Now, I'm gonna tell you the
position doesn't matter. We know the position matters, right fuel position.
Yet to give the biggest contract out to a punter
(13:02):
is a waste of resources.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Right.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
You've got other players who are serviceable players like Jacoby
Myers who's looking for a new contract.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
There's a couple offensive.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Linemen who are in line to get new contracts and
their free agents after this season. And yet your priority, priority,
number one, is to pay number top dollar to your
idiot punter, like who's literally his job is to give
(13:32):
the ball to the other team. If he's really good
at his job, he's giving the ball to the other
team now deep in their own territory. The reason you
don't pay a punter, I'm gonna explain this to you
like you're five years old. Okay, you don't pay a
punter that much money because it's a crutch. If you
pay a punter top dollar, you feel you have to
(13:54):
use the punter in situations where you may go for it.
Unfourth down, he's say, well, I mean, we've got the
top punter in the NFL. We got to use the punter.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
He's great. Ye, we're paying him the most money. We
gotta use the guy. I don't want that. I don't
I want nothing to do with that. I want no
part of that. And yet the Raiders signed up for that.
They say, yes, we want.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
So Pete Carroll, good old Pete, ninety seven year old
Pete Carroll, out there doing his thing, and and there
you go.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
So fourth down, it's fourth and two, you're gonna go
for it.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Wow, we're gonna go for it. But we have the
NFL's highest paid punter. We we're gonna punt the ball
the way. Whoopy, damn dude, how do we do all?
Speaker 6 (14:35):
Right?
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Now?
Speaker 3 (14:37):
I don't know about you. When I see the punt team,
run on the field. I go get a snack, is
what I do. So you just paid a guy who
when you see him, it's snack time. It's get a
ball of snacks, get some cheese puffs.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Jeez. All right, anyway, it is the.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Best Mahlor's show. As we are rolling on, I did
want to say, we don't do shout outs. As you know,
we're not a morning show. We're not a morning show. However,
I did want to say member of the Fox Sports
Radio Alumni Association and someone I consider a casual acquaintance.
I've I've gotten to know him a little bit. I
haven't worked together in years. Jim Mora celebrated his ninetieth
(15:22):
birthday the other day. Jim's one of the coolest people
that worked here at Fox Sports Radio back in the day.
I actually sat with Jim Mora during Katrina.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
You know what that is, Lorena? No, that was a story.
You don't know what Katrina is not like the hurricane. Yes,
she was a girl you were seeing.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
No, it was the storm that came through My second guess.
Really that was like you were a lot, you were
an adult when that happened or maybe it weren't. How
when was that was that like five or something? Was
that was that early two thousand? Yeah? That's I mean,
oh I was twenty years ago? Has it been twenty years?
(16:03):
Probably longer? Drew Brees won the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
All the way the year Fox that was eight day
so that's still seventeen O nine they won and O
nine right, the O nineteen won the Super Bowl. Anyway,
Jim Moore turned ninety, so we don't do shoutouts. But
he was at the gym there he's working out, busting
some weight.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (16:21):
All right, it is the Ben Mahlor Show. As we

(17:51):
that very nice, very nice. There you go, Ryan says,
what was that You start to tell us a story
about sitting with him during Katrina and then you don't
tell well.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
No, I sat.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Jim was working here, Ryan and Maine. Jim was working
here and he coached the Saints for many many years,
and so were we were watching the coverage while we
were doing the show, and Jim was pointing out, like
these are like the different parishes around New Orleans that
were flooded during the event. I have a very vivid
memory of that experience because I didn't.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
I've never been to New Orleans.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
I don't only know New Orleans, and so Jim had
been there obviously, lived there for years, and he was
talking about everything that was going on and going through
the whole thing. It was very emotional for him because
he has a lot of friends there. He still does
local TV in New Orleans. He's ninety years old. Last year,
at age eighty nine, Jim popped up on the postgame
local TV doing hot Saints talk.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
So he's still doing stuff. He popped up my podcast,
popped up on my podcast a while back. I was
actually thinking about calling him to see if he'd come
on the pod, But I don't know. He's ninety. I
don't want to bother I mean, you know.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
But then, but then, last time I talked to him,
he seemed bothered that people didn't want to bother him
because he was so old. So maybe I good bother
him because he wants people to bother him.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Damned if you do, Damned if you don't. Yeah, I mean,
when you're ninety, I don't know, you know, Ben, we
miss all the shots. You don't take bad look at you.
I've heard that somewhere. Wayne Gretzky. Look at that. You
miss all the shots. You don't. So you're quoting a
Canadian because we're going to be in Canada. That's right. No,
that's Malor meet and Greek coming up. Malar meeting Gree.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
If you're able to make it, if it's geographically desirable
for you, we'd love to meet you. We are looking
forward to hanging out. We've been on the radio in Vancouver,
British Columbia for many, many years and it's gonna be
awesome to hang out. I want to thank Nico, the
hostess with the mostest for making this possible. And Thursday night,
that is the only scheduled event. We were supposed to
(19:43):
go to the soccer game. They have moved that to Mexico.
We will not be flying to Mexico for the game.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
We will stay. No, no, it's all cod.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
So we're looking for to that nice Canadian hospitality, something
like that, something like that, and a beautiful waterway. They've
got the planes that like land on the water. That's
kind of cool to sit there and watch that for
a while. We do that and we'll see what else
they have going on in Vancouver. It's gonna be a
lot of fun so course side I mean details on
the social media on Instagram and Facebook. But coming up
(20:15):
Thursday night, seven to ten, we will be there. Hopefully
you can come out if you're in the area and
say hello. Let's go to the phones and we'll say
hello to blind Scott who's on the north end of Boston.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Hello, blind Scott, Hey.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
What's up here?
Speaker 8 (20:30):
We got a big matchup between the Carolina Hurricanes and
I'm my old neighbor Brad mar Shawn on the Florida Panthers.
I guess they keep those snacks in the locker room
for every game. I was a college hockey player, like
very briefly because I got cut from the team because
I was legally blind. But the amount of skating you
have to do in a hockey game is way more
than any activity you would do in a baseball game Lorena,
(20:53):
or in like a football game or any type of sport.
The activity in hockey is you know, these guys, remember you, Yager,
He was the stud. He played hockey for us to
ride and exercise by those guys are really conditioned athletes.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Well you know it's man, how much ice tithing ageat.
But these guys went out. We did a story earlier
because Brad Marshan said he ate. He confirmed he ate
a blizzard, a cookie dough blizzard. They went out and
bought it before the game. They went to Dairy Queen
before the game to buy it.
Speaker 8 (21:21):
Yeah, but why would he He had the spoon upside down.
They talked about this in Boston. Actually he was holding
the spoon upside down when he was eating it.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Like some people like to put the meat of the
you know, the spoon the good stuff. They like to
put it right on the tongue.
Speaker 8 (21:35):
I don't know how that that doesn't shun dude, you know.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
If they no think about it, Scott, even when you're
you're blind. If the spoon is like most people put
the spoon in with the the stuff so it hits
the top of your mouth. But the tongue is the
money maker. That's what gets the taste. That's the taste
buds is on the tongue. So you might the delivery
system right on the tongue. You cut off the part
where it hits the top of the mouth and goes
(21:59):
right on.
Speaker 8 (21:59):
The It goes right in your bloodstream. Like if you
take medication, you dissolve it under your tongue. You know, dude,
they have a problem with birds here in Boston. Boston
just passed this law. If you're going to put glass
and your window, it has to be bird friendly glass.
There's a huge population of rats here. It brought these
rare owls in here, the snowy owls in the North End.
It's so cool now there's out there's owls everywhere.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
Dude.
Speaker 8 (22:22):
Like one other thing, like you were talking about the
hurricane in Houston and that guy Deacon, he actually is
a really good call. That guy. Don't listen to man Wel.
You know, man Wuel's a pretty good call. But even
Petros Papadagas won't let him on anymore.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
That's what happens.
Speaker 8 (22:35):
You become a big time celebrity caller. The host doesn't
want you to steal.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Them there, but Petros doesn't even take calls anymore though, right,
I don't take you.
Speaker 8 (22:44):
I've met Petro's in the North End. I was part
of his show, like right around the time when you
were getting your career going. He was at the cigar
Bar on like maybe like twenty twenty three years. I
listened to that gym.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Yeah, I interviewed petrols when he was in college at
USC So I don't know about that, but right, yeah,
got you.
Speaker 8 (23:00):
So he in two thousand and six they were on
the National Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Was like, well, at least Boston. Yeah, they were on briefly.
But Boston does not have midges, right, they don't have
that the swarm of bugs they have like in Cleveland.
Speaker 8 (23:12):
They don't have no because they don't even have mosquitoes here, ticks.
Like when I was working dogs, I didn't even have
to use tick medication. It's awesome, But that's because of
maybe pollotion. I don't know, but I was.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
I was checking out the Cleveland Dodger game and they
they were they had a swarm of midges that arrived.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
You know, people were spitting them out of their mouth,
these little bugs. A storm of midgets. No midges, M
I D G E. S. That's a different place where
they have that's snow white.
Speaker 8 (23:45):
They have no market, dude, been that Cleveland radio market.
That's the best radio market in the United States. I've
been listening to it. We don't have many cars from there,
but if we could talk Cleveland stories, we could get
some really good calls from there.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Are you Are you touching up my work?
Speaker 3 (23:59):
Are you programming I mean the show that we should
we should suck up to the people of Cleveland.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Is that what you're saying.
Speaker 8 (24:03):
Well, I looked at the top fifteen radio markets. The
top number fifteen it is Minnesota. We kind of need
to touch all of them if we're going to grow.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
If we're going to grow, the show now programming the
show now, Blind Scott is now programming the shit.
Speaker 8 (24:15):
I do that to everybody's show. Actually, you know, I
don't get on the other show after this that much
because I'm on this show and people hear me.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Yeah, there's no there's no need to go on that
other show. I thank you. I appreciate that. Are you
wearing a Boston hat?
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Ben? Uh?
Speaker 3 (24:30):
No, I'm wearing a hat that was given to me
from Alf the Alien opiner. This is a Buffalo Bison hat. Oh,
it's a b hat. I have mostly b hats, not
of Boston hats. Then big Buffalo Boston Ben, Well, you
know whatever, you can say what it is, but the
b have a b collection of hats, and so this
added to my collection. Let's say hello to Bruce. Now,
(24:53):
I think this is the guy that walks around in
Santa Monica. Is this is this you, Bruce?
Speaker 5 (24:57):
It is good morning?
Speaker 1 (24:58):
How man?
Speaker 6 (24:59):
It is?
Speaker 1 (25:00):
How many steps?
Speaker 7 (25:00):
How many?
Speaker 1 (25:01):
How many steps we got today?
Speaker 5 (25:04):
I'm in the in the it's twenty thousand range. But
when I called you yesterday, I was walking today. I
started earlier. I started about nine thirty and finished at
one thirty.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Oh you're already done. Oh look at that any now?
Speaker 3 (25:16):
And you averaged twenty thousand steps at night?
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Is that your deal?
Speaker 5 (25:19):
Well? I tried. Come on, I sometimes i have to
go grocery shopping, or I've got other family matters. So
for example, I did about twelve days in a row recently,
and then I had to take off a couple because
I just had other things I had to do. And
now I've done four in a row.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
A game.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
You know, that's great, that's good. That's why I do this.
I like to walk a lot too. I mean, I
get my steps in. But that's wonderful.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
But it's not quite as glamorous as it sounds. Up
then I'll tell you why.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
I walk very slowly.
Speaker 5 (25:45):
I don't want to give you the feeling it's a
power walk or anything. It's a slow walk. And I'm
listening to the radio.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
All right, Well, you're moving your body though, body and
movement is the way to go, right. You just got
to keep your body moving.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
But it's four hours without stopping, you know.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
That's good? Solid.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
Okay, I talk to you about a little bit about something.
The National Football League, as you know BEN, is by
far the most popular sports league in North America an
average of twenty not an average. They have the last
I heard, twenty billion dollars in average in in annual revenues.
There is no second place. If you want to go
(26:19):
to the other ones, the second place would be NCAA football,
third would be NBA, fourth would be MLB, and fifth
would be the National Hockey League the w NBA. The
w n B A is triple A basketball, Triple A basketball,
similar to triple A baseball or triple A hockey. Okay,
And the reason it's having a minute of being very
(26:42):
popular right now is because it's very politically incorrect to
say so.
Speaker 6 (26:47):
And but.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
The numbers, the numbers bear up, Bruce. It's Caitlin Clark.
People will watch her, but they're not watching anywhere. By
the way, are you from Are you from Canada?
Speaker 1 (26:58):
You're from Canada? Am I right me? You know why
you're not? Really I'm wrong? You are you from Welles?
I got I gotta like a Canadian vibe? Am I wrong?
Speaker 6 (27:10):
No?
Speaker 5 (27:10):
No, no, I'm not from Canada.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Where you from from?
Speaker 6 (27:15):
L A?
Speaker 5 (27:15):
From riginally Chicago, ton l A.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Okay, all right?
Speaker 4 (27:20):
How do you get Canada?
Speaker 5 (27:20):
I'm curious.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
I just got a Canadian vibe? And Lorrainey, you got
what vibe? Did you get Canadian vibe? I don't really
know it sounds like besides Moose.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
I thought I thought that when I screened his phone,
thought Canadians from from the Chicago, so like a Chicago.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
You know, it's sounds Chicago, upper.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
Midwest can sound very similar to Canada.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Okay, all right, I got you Canada?
Speaker 3 (27:45):
All right? So your point, Your point, though, Bruce, is
that your point is the w n B A blows
and that people don't want to say that because you
get in trouble if you say that.
Speaker 5 (27:56):
What the w n B the w n B A
is is on the act of an attractive, young white
female player who can shoot the lights out full stop.
