Speaker 1 (00:00):
To the end of the rainbow, we go. It's our numberfore.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Gone with the gas bag here an hour number four.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
Ram wide receiver Davonte Adams said recently that Lebron James
could have been among the best wide receivers or tight
ends in NFL history.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
What say you? Also? Forty nine or quarterback Brock.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
Purty claims that he'd be willing to go to jail
for a year three hundred and sixty five days for
a Super Bowl win this season for the Niners. What
are your thoughts on that? And former NFL quarterback Eli
Manning says it's quote too expensive to join the Giants
ownership group, so we will discuss.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
That as well.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
How does that sound to you? All of those stories
and more. It's like a roundhouse kick to your ear drum.
I have a wonderful, wonderful Thursday, here, the tenth day
of July. Here it is our number four.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
It is a trip to the Adams family.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Mahler Show. We are in the air everywhere as we
fan the breeze, we are chaos agents, coast, quorter, devot
and beyond on the vast and show stoppingly powerful microphones

(01:27):
of fs are amminnating live from the book as in
your Audio sportsbook of the overnight early morning hours from
the Fox Sports Radio studios, as approved by Hoosier Bill.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Yeah, he used to call when the well.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
He calls when the Pacers do something, so he won't
hear from him for years. This portion of the Ben
Malor Show made possible apart by Express Employment Professionals.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
Local Express employment professionals go to expresspros dot com and
Express never charges job.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
Seekers a fees. You don't have to worry about that.
Or lead this hour from the Hybrid a crossover story.
The Adams family probably know where I'm going, but maybe not.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
He is now property the la Or Rams because he
can ram it all day and ram it all night.
Devonte Adams gave verbal bouquets to Lebron James. Not only
does Devonte Adams think that Lebron James could hold his
own in the NFL, he told our homeboy the Dan

(02:44):
Patrick Experience that he would excel popping up here on
Fox Sports Radio, Devonte Adams just saying the praises of
Lebron said he would have been one of the best
wide receivers or tight ends of all time. No, no question,
Davante Adams said, no question. Really, you're that sure, and

(03:06):
then he says he can fly and went on was
singing the praises of Lebron. So let us discuss the question.
Davante Adams saying that Lebron James could have more.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
Than held his own.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
He says would have been one of the best wide
receivers or tight ends of all time.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
In history of football. What say you out? All right?

Speaker 1 (03:31):
So I've got garnish, toothbrush, and sandbox, and we will
combine all of these things together and we are gonna
make the Gabba goool. We're gonna make the Gabba gool.
So to lead off here, now, this is one of
those age old sports media debates, embraced debate Deavante Adams

(03:55):
engaging in this, and it's pretty straightforward, like I get
that wants to pay tribute to a hero of his
celebrating Lebron, But if you keep it real, Devonte Adams,
I think he's spending too much time in that hyperbaric chamber.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
I think it sounds a little little on the spectrum.
And here's why.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Now the NBA, it's a totally different skill set in
the NBA.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
Here's the rum. Totally different skill set in the NBA
than it is in the NFL. It's kind of obvious there.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
And if you're Lebron, the impact on the game, other
than playing quarterback, the impact on the game. You control
the tempo, you have possession of the basketball, and you
can single handedly influence in your prime, the outcome of

(04:49):
a playoff series. You dictate everything. You are the conductor.
You're not just impacting the game, you are pretty much
the game. If you're the headliner in the NBA, in
the NF, if you're a wide receiver or a tied end.
Do you know where I'm going with is are you
the one driving the bus like Roberto who quit the
show to be a bus driver, or are you a

(05:10):
passenger in the back of the bus. You are the
garnish on the steak. You're not the porterhouse steak. You're
the garnish on the play. Now, sure, Lebron, does you
have size. Of course he's got he's got speed, and
he can jump up into.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
But it's not some Nike commercial. It's not.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
And in the NFL when he's coming back, training camps
are opening up in a few days and the season
will be here before you know it. We're about fifty
five days away or something like that. But you have
a two hundred and fifty pounds linebacker and they hit
you and you feel it for three or four days.
Lebron gets contact in an NBA game and he is

(05:53):
a fish, He's the flopper fish, and he's moaning and
crying and he gets a couple of fous shots. It's
fantasy that Lebron would dominate the NFL, and it's the
perfect thing because it's one of those things that you
cannot prove either way. Right, my opinion is he would
not DeVante Adams all he dominated.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
Well, neither one of us will ever know, because Lebron
never chose to play in the NFL.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
Right, And every basketball player thinks, well, I can play
in the NFL. Right, all that stuff and my highlights,
look at my highlights and all that stuff is okay.
I No, you can't maybe on a joystick on a
video game, but you know, NFL players, you.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
Give up years of your life and you're getting destroyed
every week. Lebron doesn't want that. You don't want that
smoke all right now.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Furthermore, it's being a smoke speaking a blowing smoke.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
We go to the Bay Area from the Theater.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
Of the bizarre, so on a this is Jockocracy to
the next level. On some ex joc podcast out of
quarterback Brock Purty recently popped up. On one of these podcasts,
he was asked by a couple of X jocks about
what he would.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
Do for a Super Bowl victory. One of those old
used to do some radio, old morning radio bit, what
would you do if your team won a Super Bowl? No,
only you don't ask the players this.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
But they did, and Party said he would not cut
off a foot, so he would not chop part of
his body off to win a Super Bowl. He wouldn't
go full Ronnie Lot, you know that old story. He
did say, though, maybe a finger, so I guess he
would go running a lot, but only on his non
dominant hand. Only on that.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
He covered some other stuff and waxed poetic.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
Now, Perty did say that he would be willing to
go to prison for a year.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
If it meant a super Bowl victory in February.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
Now, the super Bowl is in the forty nine Ers
Stadium in twenty twenty six, early twenty twenty six.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
So that right there is the money quote.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
So there's a lot of our incarcerated listeners, whether they're
at state prisons or federal prisons, like our buddy that
has become a penpal in Pennsylvania, Like you should just
tell people I went to prison so the Bears can
win the super Bowl. That's why I'm in a Bears fan. Right,
So here we go. That was the money quote. We'll

(08:23):
play off that. That'll be our jumping off point. Forty
nine ur quarterback Brock Party says he'd be willing to
go to jail for a year for the Niners to
win the Super Bowl February of twenty twenty six.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
What are your thoughts on this one?

Speaker 1 (08:39):
So this is the kind of statement that you know
that's hyperbole and probably it's some hyperbole, and it's also
like that is that the concussion protocol for the podcast?
Party answering these questions like he's trying to win a
rose on a TV show and maybe Roger Goodell's hosting it.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
I don't know, but if you boil it down. I
saw brock.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
Perty at this not Super Bowl last year, the one
in uh I believe it was on in Vegas.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
I think that was the last one I was able
to attend.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
The media crap that they have radio row and he
was walking around.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
He is baby faced, brock right, baby face.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
He would not last thirty minutes in jail, like not
even the soft kind of jail, not the kind you know.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
There's some jails.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
It's like rich people jail where they have yoga and
they play softball. I remember this guy that owned the
La Kings, Bruce McNall. He had some financial crimes and
he went to this prison in It was north of
Santa Barbara, and I was working in radio at the
time early on, and I remember like on.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
The weekends, like all these really powerful people.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
And rich people would go out to Santa Barbara because
he would be playing in softball at the prison and
maybe the even I brock Preddy went to one of
those prisons where they have like a like a gluten
free commissary. Get your gluten free wouldn't work. This is
a guy that needs Trent Williams calls him. I think
is like his a safety blanket.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
Safety is his binkie and all that.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
Who's three hundred and twenty pounds, and so he's going
to go to jail. He needs an offensive tackle to
protect him. And the only protection I'm told, I've not
been to jail. I'm trying to avoid it. But the
only protection is a toothbrush that gets melted into a
shift if you're in jail, right, I'm in told. So
imagine Brock staying at the Gray Bar Hotel for a

(10:43):
year and I don't know, just imagine his cell made
I don't know named Bubba. You think you think that goes?

Speaker 2 (10:51):
Now?

Speaker 1 (10:51):
Bubba does think that's amusing, That the Super Bowl dreams
are adorable and.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
All that stuff.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
Yeah that I don't think you can call an audible
omaha omaha o.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
And then they'll open the gate and you leave. I
don't think that's how it works, all right.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
Now, last thing to Jersey, we go the Swampland of Jersey.
Is it true that Eli Manning whiffed.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
On his bid to become an owner.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
Well, the former NFL quarterback pretty average quarterback, Eli Manning
says it's quote too expensive, too expensive to join the
Giants ownership group. There had been a report he was
trying to buy ten percent of the Giants.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
So how does that sound to you?

Speaker 1 (11:38):
So this sounds like a trip to the confessional booth
and it's it's on a daytime soap opera.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
Like Eli made a lot of money.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
It didn't make as much money as Tom Brady and
some of these other some of these other guys.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
He made a lot of money, though.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
However, the story here is that he didn't become friends
with the right people.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
To me, that's the story. It's not about the price tag.
NFL teams are expensive video at eleven, we know that.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
But this is about not having enough aristocrats in your
life that can write more checks and bigger checks, jumbo
size checks with a lot of zeros, more zeros than
the NASA launch code that they have, like a lot
of digits. So Eli tried to spin this. I saw

(12:28):
the quotes going around. So Eli tried to spin this.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
You know, it's just a.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
Humble guy and he's doing broadcasting and he's doing stuff
at the Pro Bowl every year and running high school
camps and he's just too busy.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
And yeah, now maybe.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
That worked for you, didn't work for me, right, We
were overcome by the fumes. You smell that bull crap.
That's bull crap. So if you decode the real message.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
Even our buddy Jay Scoop knows this.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
Eli Manning is saying, I don't have the billionaire boy
Club Rolodex, right, the billionaire boys Club Rolodex.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
I can't play in the big boy sandbox. I can't.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
Tom Brady doesn't have money to buy an NFL team,
but he pulled it off. He pulled it off with
his rich friends. You think a Rod had enough money
to buy an NBA team, No, but he had a
rollerdex with a rich friend. So he now owns the
Minnesota Timberwolves. And that's what you gotta do.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
And Eli couldn't pull it off, not in that.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
Same which is odd. He played in New York. You
go to the Hamptons on the weekend. That's while the
rich a holes go on the weekend. And he couldn't
couldn't find those people. While now the other Manning, as
we like to call Eli, but it's just I'll still
be involved. He'll still be involved with the Giants. What
does that mean.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
They give him a.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
Free parking pass, they give him extra popcorn at halftime,
but as ownership not that is that is reserved for
the titans of industry and the whales. Where's the whale?
So next time, just just eli, you know, you don't
have to beat around the bush, all right, moving man,

(14:14):
Matt knows what's going on. Just say I'm rich, I'm
not that rich, and that's all right. Don't try to
tell us you're too busy to own part of an
NFL team, okay, because no one believes that, So just stop.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
Okay, Just.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
This hour kind of slows down a little bit. I
don't know why. Maybe people are driving and.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
They can't they can't send good stuff, or we just
have lame people on social media.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
I did see.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
Perito said lebron would not make it in the NFL,
said he's soft as as Charman, and he said lebron
could play football. Lingerie football, all right, lingerie football, very nice,
absolutely tabloid, Tommy. We'll get to that story coming up
in a minute now. I mentioned this earlier. I didn't

(18:11):
pay it off, that job by me, and the story
is it's a burner. Did you see the video of
the Buffalo Bills new stadium, the two point one billion
dollar home of the Bills. Now, it's not gonna be
ready for the upcoming NFL season. The Bills, well, all

(18:32):
these other cold weather teams are building domes. The Bills
are like, we're not gonna build it dome. They get
more snow there than it seems like anywhere in the NFL.
In Buffalo, Lake Effect blizzards.

Speaker 2 (18:45):
Happen all the time.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
So this video went viral of the stadium and they
designed it. They I guess they couldn't afford an actual
roof on it, so they built it with a heated roof.
Like there's no dome over the stadium, but the the
part of the stadium where the most of the seats
are covered.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
By the roof, And what happens when there's snow piled.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
Up on the roof, Well, the senior vice president of design,
claimed that it would absolutely melt set a blizzard.

Speaker 2 (19:18):
Up to seven feet up to seven feet and that that.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
Would just melt down. Now, my question is where does
that water go? Does it then fall down and become
ice behind the stands where people have to walk?

Speaker 2 (19:34):
I don't know. But anyway, go to the phones and
who do we have Let's see here.

Speaker 1 (19:39):
Let's go to Mike the Leprechaun, who's in Boston. Hello,
Mike the Leprechaun.

Speaker 5 (19:47):
Good morning.

Speaker 6 (19:47):
It's right in here right now.

Speaker 5 (19:49):
So there's no foot moon in the sky.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
Wait, this is going to blow you away, Mike. There's
actually a full moon. Whether it's raining or.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
Not, I know it's behind the clouds.

Speaker 7 (19:58):
Anyway, I liked how James Duke ians and that was
in the studio. That was Finn.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
You enjoyed that, Yeah, I did?

Speaker 7 (20:06):
So.

Speaker 8 (20:07):
Do I have a stock book?

Speaker 2 (20:10):
What is your act going to be in the Mallard Paloozer.

Speaker 5 (20:12):
It's going to be a song.

Speaker 7 (20:13):
It's a really good song this year.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
So I'd also like to alert all the fans of
the show that somebody did send us a Malard Militia
theme song.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
I'm not sure if they want us to say their
name or not. I don't know. I mean I got
sent this.

Speaker 1 (20:28):
It's a really good tune and it's great because it
doesn't say the year, so we can use this pretty
much every year doing the Mallard Paloser, which I'm excited about.
And now do you think you have a chance to win?
You're very polarizing, Mike the Leprecaun. You're not as polarizing
as Blind Scott. But some people love your stick and
other people hate you. My boss hates you. The people

(20:50):
I work with hate you.

Speaker 7 (20:53):
What next?

Speaker 5 (20:53):

Speaker 1 (26:56):
You blind Scott, you cannot win the Talent Show the
Mallet Blues.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
Because what you do right now is your act. You

Speaker 8 (27:05):
I'm going on tour in the fall. I'm a professional commedean.
I write comedy. I'm better than any caller on the show.
I'm not a hack. I know a lot about sports.
I drive a car. Why people ever call with artificial
intelligence to be able to drive a car? Now, you
guys are in so much trouble. Once I start driving
up to the station, I have a job there. I
got this other job too. I was looking at the

(27:26):
Express pros fork lift operator. I think I might do that.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
Yes, there's a lot of a lot of warehouses that
want the blind person to run.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
The fourth lift. That's what they're looking for.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
Yes, Oh, your phone's dying. Thank god, your phone is dying.
All right, I gotta go your phone.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
Right, it wasn't me, it was his phone, right I heard.
Are we allowed to say it's bad quality? Or is
Tammy going to call in? Bashis? All right? Calm down,
you don't need to We love Tammy.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
Let's go to Charlie in Wisconsin, who is not to
be confused with Charlie in Dallas, who's for some reason
stopped calling the show.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
But Charlie in Wisconsin. It was maybe his parents found out.

Speaker 1 (28:11):
Charlie's in college in Wisconsin. Am I correct, Charlie?

Speaker 5 (28:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (28:15):
That is correct.

Speaker 2 (28:17):
All right, you're on the air, Charlie. Here's your chance.
Are you gonna be in Are you gonna be in
the malor Palooza?

Speaker 1 (28:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (28:23):
I would love to do.

Speaker 5 (28:24):
You know what it is.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
It's a week from Sunday, Sunday and Monday. A week
from this Sunday and Monday, so.

Speaker 6 (28:30):
Following okay, okay, yeah, that would be great. I mean
I'm I can't wait until I make jokes with Mike
the Leprecaun.

Speaker 5 (28:37):
So yeah, okay, on.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
The second on second thought, you don't need to be
in it. It's okay, Yeah, it's good.

Speaker 6 (28:44):
Yeah, well then I'll do something else. Anyway, I wanted
to talk about the Vikings. I think they're actually Super
Bowl contenders, you know. I mean, we don't have Sam Darnold.
We've got a young rookie quarterback starting, and I think
he's gonna be really good.

Speaker 2 (29:02):
Well that you think that, how do you know that.

Speaker 6 (29:07):
I've seen him in training camp. He's pretty good. He
throws on the dot he got.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
So here's my here's my problem with here's my problem
with the Vikings.

Speaker 1 (29:15):
Right, like, I don't doubt that you'll have some success
in the regular season because he got two stud receivers
and you got a pretty good offensive coach.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
So the Vikings should.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
Win minimum ten or eleven games during the regular season.
The problem is, is this going to be Sam Donald
two point?

Speaker 3 (29:30):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (29:30):
Is this guy gonna go out.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
And ride the vomit comet when it gets down to
the end of the year week on Week seventeen, and
then and then in the playoffs, like, you know that
the Vikings were fine last year, that had a great record,
one of the all time great regular season records, and
then when the playoffs came around, they were riding the
vomit comet because the quarterbacks sucked at a time you
cannot suck.

Speaker 6 (29:52):
Well, he's not Sam Donald.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
So well, he's definitely not Sam Donald. But is he
Sam Donald?

Speaker 6 (29:58):
Light?

Speaker 2 (29:58):
How about that? I am Donald Light?

Speaker 1 (30:01):
Like you look at the Vikings, You're like whether he
should win a lot of games and all that.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
Stuff, but you don't know what you don't know.

Speaker 1 (30:08):
Charlie, I'm trying to be I'm not Benny Brightside. I
am being a lump of coal.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
That is what I'm doing. Yeah, well, you do you
have Is it true you have a Jay? Do you
have a JJ McCarthy Jersey? Is that true?

Speaker 6 (30:24):
No, that is not true.

Speaker 5 (30:25):
I mean I could get one.

Speaker 2 (30:26):
If you want.

Speaker 1 (30:26):
Well, I know you could get one. I could buy
one too. I could go on the web right now
and buy one, but I don't know.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
I'm not interested.

Speaker 6 (30:32):
No. Yeah, well, yeah, I think you're the fakest Rams
fan I know.

Speaker 8 (30:38):
So I don't know.

Speaker 2 (30:42):
Yeah, okay, I don't know. Whatever. Thank you. Charlie. Yeah,
I go. I don't. I don't know what that was.
I mean, I I mean, he doesn't like my opinion
of JJ McCarthy. I don't know. I mean, you know
it's I want to say that Mike the Leprecaun.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
I'll bet you probably Yeah, Mike the Leprecaun, feed them lines.
Michael leprechaun is is screwing up the youth of America.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
That's what he's doing. It's bad job by him.

Speaker 1 (31:12):
More reason not to like him.

Speaker 2 (31:15):
You would if you had met him, he would have
been fine. Tried to buy our love with gift cards.
It worked. Coops Coops inviting him back right away, When
can you return? Told him he's got a permanent golden ticket.

Speaker 1 (31:27):
Whenever he wants to get on the air right away.
He's gonna give him the hot line, the warm number,
the inside number.

Speaker 2 (31:33):
Is going to get that. Let's go to Keg Drinking Steve.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
