Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom, Shaka laka.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our numb bird to our number two ready for you.
How do you evaluate this Terry McLaurin trade request from Washington.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
We'll talk about that.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Did quarterback Trey Lanceer the Chargers make a statement as
Chris Collins were said in the Hall of Fame game
last night and whispers say the Colts quote won't consider
moving on from sucky quarterback Anthony Richardson this season. Yay
or nay on that one. And don't forget Fifth Hour
podcast also today, make sure to listen to that. It's

(00:38):
only available in the podcast format. We'll have a lot
of inside info behind the scenes on Benny versus the Penny.
You will not get that anywhere else but the Fifth
Hour podcast later today, so check that out. We'll get
to all of those stories here we talked about earlier
here in our number two though right now here it.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
Is get me out of here. I gotta get out
of here.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Welcome in the beginning of another.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Hour of the Ben Mahlor Show.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
We are in the air awhere jointly as we are
truth beyond the static coast to coast sport of the
border and beyond on the vast and brashly powerful microphones
of fsre.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
Am moinating live from the store. Welcome in.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
It's Benny's General Store of sports takes from the Fox
Sports Radio studios, as signed off on by the notorious
character known.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
As Bagel Boy.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
Now, this portion of the Ben Maler Show on Fox
made possible by our friends at tire Rack.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
That's right. For over forty years, it's a fair amount
of time.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Ti Raq has been helping customers like you find the
right tires for how, what and where they drive, ship
fast and free back by free road hazard protection with
convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire ract dot
com the way tire buying should be. So we'll get

(02:14):
back to the baseball later, but we'll move over to
the world of football and we will start out just
adjacent to Capitol Hill, where all the lawmakers waste our money.
So we have a plot twist in the contract stalemate
in DC. If you have been following along, or if not,

(02:34):
maybe you've missed it. The star pass catcher for Washington
is not happy. He wants moneymount of money, and a
lot more moneymunt of money.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
Don't we all take a number from the deli counter.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
So if you haven't heard the latest, we have learned
now that the commander's wide receiver, Terry McLaurin, is so
frustrated with negotiation. How frustrated is thanks for asking. He's
so frustrated that he is now requesting a trade and
there has been no movement, no movement. It's pond water

(03:07):
in terms of getting a new deal. So let us
discuss the question, how do you evaluate the Terry McLaren
trade request from Washington? How you evaluate the request of
a trade by Terry McLaurin. So I've got saber Ikea
and mister potato head, and we will combine all of

(03:30):
these things together and we are going to make some
Baba ganoosh is what we're gonna make.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
So number I said, number. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
Here's my position on the Terry McLaurin trade request. This
is the textbook twenty twenty NFL Wide Receiver Handbook on
display right. They all read the same manual, They all
follow the same script.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
And you do a job like this.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
Now, there's no reason for you to pay attention this closely,
but I have nothing else to do. So it always
starts with the holdout and then now you're in the
hold in. Now you're in the hold in because you
can't sit out more than a few days. At fifty
thousand dollars a day. It's like a hostage negotiation. Now now,
based on the economy in the NFL, this is a

(04:25):
ballplayer who in that world has been underpaid in that world.
Now in the real world, not underpaid, but in that
world underpaid. And he sat there and watched the other
receivers get their paid a whether players better than him,
like Justin Jefferson or AJ Brown or Christian Kirk have
reset the market, even Christian Kirk.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
So McLaurin is sitting.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
There saying, hey, what about me, I've been a good,
good scout here, I didn't do any wrong. Well, here's
the thing, though, it would appear based at this point,
Washington does not care, and they don't really want to
give him a new contract. Otherwise, spoiler alert, they would
have already given him a new contract. There's no reason

(05:05):
to drag this thing out. It's not Jerry Jones and
the Cowboys. So you know next, I'm sure we'll get
at some point here. The emoji warfare, I call it
emoji warfare, the bio change, the retreat the reposting of
stuff on social media. But it's not about the money.

(05:26):
Of course, we know it's about the money, but it's
about respect.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
You know, I need respect and I need to feel valued.
You don't value me, right.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
They want the bag and they want the pat on
the back. So you not only need the bag, but
you need the pat on the back. And for what
it's worth, the commanders have already said that they are
not going to make any kind of a trade with
this particular ballplayer. They've already turned down some trades allegedly.
But every man has a price, every man and woman

(05:55):
has a price. And so if a contender loses a
wide receiver, whether it be in practice or a game
between now and the start of the regular season, and
some random team calls up and says, hey, I'll give
you a first round pick for mclauren And they'll say, okay,
how fast can we get them to the airport? You know,

(06:16):
and you'll get the answer right there. So mclaurin's camp
is obviously they're trying to raise the temperature. And you
want to apply pressure here, and pressure pressure, pressure, you
leak the trade request check that box. Okay, we've now
requested the trade. You get the fans all riled up there,
you make it uncomfortable for the team. It's all calculated,

(06:38):
and you get the saber. The saber rattling is what
you get here. It's all part of the game. What's
in the game. It's part of the game. And so
call it a bit of an audible, you call the audible.
This is the audible right here, and this is the
escalation phase, is what it is. Mclauren has been through
quarterback hell, playing with stiff after he carried that offense.

(07:02):
And now they finally have their alleged forever quarterback Jayden Daniels.
We'll see what he does for an encore. And so
now he's like, okay, this is my last chance. I'm
crossing the rubicon here. Age wise, I got to force
their hand. He's making the noise, and the noise ends
up getting you paid, or it gets you traded, then
you get paid with another team. That's normally how it works,
all right. Now, Page two, So to Canton, Ohio we go,

(07:27):
Picturesque Canton, Ohio. The Chargers show me your lightning bolt.
They beat up the Lions in an exhibition lidlifter Now,
much of the chatter in that game about two things.
We'll get to the new setup in the NFL, which
did not go very well, by the way, holy crap,

(07:48):
involving how they will measure the football. But that's a
different conversation for later on. We got a lot of
time to navigate. The quarterback of the Chargers was not
justin Herbert. It was the new backup, old forty nine
er trash and cowboy trash, Trey Lance, who had a
couple of touchdowns and looked like he actually knew what

(08:08):
he was doing.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
So everyone's yapping, Oh my god, Trey Lance.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
Oh, the Chargers are gonna be able to trade him
and he can be a QB one for the New
Orleans Saints or somebody else. All right, So question, did
quarterback Trey Lance may make a statement? That's what Chris
Collinsworth said on the broadcast as Collinsworth had the knee
pads on. So did quarterback Trey Lance make a quote

(08:32):
statement close quote, as collins were said on the Hall
of Fame TV broadcast. So my answer is a n
absolutely not, absolutely not. I come on, you knew this
kind of story was gonna be here, either, Trey Lance
went out and played terribly. Is oh, I can't believe
the Niners traded all those draft picks to get Trey Lance.

(08:55):
That guy blows or if he played well, he's back, baby,
Trey Lance is back.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
So let's not be ridiculous. Here.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
As a distant relative of Nostradamus and friend of Nostradinas
who lives in Seattle, we knew this was coming right.
This was a I watched a little bit of it.
Don't tell anybody, Please, don't tell anybody. I watched a
little bit of at all. Nothing else on it was
that I watched some of the Mariner game playing the Rangers.
There's light cart and Baseball Hall of Fame game.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
I watched it. I watched it. But this was a
glorified walkthrough in Canton, Ohio.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
And there they were Mike Turrico and Chris Collinsworth on
NBC giving Trey Lance a tongue bath, acting like he
was making his football bar mitzvah. This was his coming
out party here everyone, he was now a man. I
am my name is Trey Lance, and I'm now a
man as a quarterback, and I'm watching this and I'm like,

(09:50):
I know, you have to grab onto something. I know
that's part of the job. Can everyone just take a
deep breath here? This is the first exhibition game. It's
a total dummy run right And oh, by the way,
he was playing against Yes, a.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
Lot of dummies. So he's out there against guys we're
trying to make a name for himself.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
Most of them will be working for Brown, but not
the Cleveland Browns. They'll be working for Ups in a
few weeks, or they'll be pouring concrete on the highway.
And what can Brown do for you? How about not
get a sack on Trey Lance? Like, this's not rewrite
history here.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
There is a.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
Reason that Trey Lance is in the position he's in.
He was the number three overall pick from twenty twenty one,
and here we are years later. The forty nine ers
gave a pick after pick for his rights. They backed
the Brinks truck up to Miami. They dumped all those
draft picks out. By the way, that Dolphins haven't won

(10:47):
anything with those draft picks. But they traded all those
draft picks away in exchange for a guy who is
now basically chased Daniel without the high football IQ. But
let's not forget that he got leap fraud, leap frog
Trey Lance by mister irrelevant Brock Purty, a guy taking

(11:07):
last in the draft, usurped the number three pick in
the draft, and San Francisco just gave brock Purdy, who
Terry and England would agree as just mediocre, but gave
him one hundred and eighty two million Garon teed. Meanwhile,
you juxtapose that with Trey Lance, who's now on his
third team. I believe he's still trying to figure out

(11:28):
how to tie his cleats without help.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
So, but he's got all the tools.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
He's got the arm talent, he's got the analyticism, he's
got the size you look for at the quarterback position.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
And so did.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
The legend, the infamous JaMarcus Russell back in the day.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
He had all that stuff too. So you need more.
I know it sucks, but you need more than just
having a nice toolbox.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
You need more than that. You actually have to know
how to use said tools.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
Right.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
So I look at Trey Lance as a guy out
there who's got two left and he's trying to assemble
a piece of furniture that he bought at Ikea, and
he's also eating those meatballs at the same time. So
forget the whole change of scenery, all that we're gonna
change the narrative nonsense. You can make no declaration. The

(12:19):
only thing Trey Lance could have done is hurt himself
if he'd gone out and played bad and rode the
vomit comment. Now, the fact that he played well, had
a couple of touchdowns and all that, that's fine, But
you don't get credit.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
You don't And it doesn't matter that these exhibition games.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
Trey Lance, until proven otherwise, has a full time residency
in the boondocks of Bustville. No, it's on Google Maps.
If you just go to Google Maps, you can type
in Bustville and he lives right there. So until I
see it against real, legitimate NFL teams that are scheming

(12:55):
to stop him and number ones and number twos in
a game that has some value, please, I don't need
the preseason propaganda. I don't need the exhibition propaganda. And
I'm just gonna do every monologue, goofing on all the
preseason propaganda. That's just gonna be my life's work for
the next month. So buckle up, buccaroo, all right. Now,

(13:15):
final point, speaking of that, we go now to Indianapolis,
a basketball state, the Hoosier State. They have a football team,
not a good one. And there are whispers in this
news cycle that say the Colts quote won't consider quote
won't consider moving on from in battled quarterback Anthony Richardson

(13:39):
this season.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
Yay or nay on that whisper.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
Yay or nay on the Colts not even considering moving
on from Anthony Richardson. So I'm gonna give this one
side eye, which is a that's a nay right now?
They have to say this though, you think that Shane
Steichen and the GM there Chris Ballard are going to

(14:06):
sit there and stand at the dais at the podium
there in now we're in August and say, yeah, we
might be thinking about replacing the guy that we drafted
in the top five a couple of years ago.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
We think we might no shot, right.

Speaker 2 (14:20):
The better question, the better question is who would be
dumb enough to trade for this guy. You'd need a
staff that is involved in NASA, like those NASA engineers,
the smartest people in the room to redesign your offense.

(14:41):
And you'd also need some kind of trauma surgeon on
speed Dobb Richardson's played fifteen games, and in about half
of those fifteen games, so seven and a half of
the fifteen games, Anthony Richardson's body has flown apart.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
Like he's mister potato head in those games.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
Now, now Indy as a franchise, they love the idea
of him, and they love the idea that he's going
to turn out to be good. Just takes time, gotta
have patience, all that stuff. They like that idea more
than than reality because he's another guy. We talked about
Trey Lance earlier in this monologue, but Anthony Richardson also
the prototype quarterback, another guy that's got all the tools

(15:22):
but no toolbox and all that. And in this case,
it's the NFL's version of buying a Porsche and then
realizing you can't drive stick shift, Like that's the that's
the move now. Now, Richardson is built like an action
figure and he reads defense like he's trying to translate

(15:43):
a menu at a restaurant in Paris and he doesn't
speak French, and it's it's one of those things. He's
been so bad since he got to the Colts. People
talk about, well, what kind of soap do you use
when you you know, an Irish spring person, what kind
of but he's he's not using that. In fact, when
he goes into the locker room and then leaves for

(16:04):
the day, they have to fumigate the locker room with Ortho,
bed bug flee and tick killer, not only for Anthony Richardson,
but also Daniel Jones who's in there. And so again
you combine the fact that he can't play with the
fact that when he does play, he has the durability,
Richardson of a paper straw. Is there anything that is

(16:25):
more annoying than trying to drink a beverage with a
paper straw and you know you're on the clock. You
know you only have anywhere from five to ten minutes
before that fragile paper straw collapses.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
And then you're done.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
You cannot use that straw to drink whatever you're drinking.
So if you're the Colts, if you're the Colts and
you're really married, I don't buy this report. But if
let's use the Mallard multiverse, and in the Mallard multiverse,
you are You're in it, right, You're in it and alloff.
So you're married to this guy, then you better be

(17:00):
prepared for a long, disappointing marriage with a lot of
therapy bills and not a therapy, but physical therapy also,
so if the chatter should be, how long until they
start cheating on him with next year's quarterback draft class?

Speaker 1 (17:20):
If you know what I mean. It is the.

We've got Big Ben's lame jokes the week coming up

Riveting Mallard the Third Degree that'll be coming up next hour.
Just josh as when the when the outtake becomes the take,

(21:16):
you take it inside to nurture the take. Then you
take the take to the next level and take it
or leave it, is what he says. Late night drug
tester says, with Trey Lance's performance, did that change your
power rankings on who wins the AFC West?

Speaker 1 (21:33):
Also more Brent.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
Musburger stories would have made the fourth quarter more tolerable. Yeah,
I had the game on in the background. I was
told Musburger was.

Speaker 1 (21:45):
Going to be on. I didn't know when he was
going to be on and I.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
Wanted to watch Musburger a big fan of Brenton. I
did watch it, and that was it was all right.
But one of the stories Musburger did tell, and I
bring this up now, is the iconic I say this loosely,
the iconic moment I say this loosely. In water Boy,

(22:09):
Musburger told the story Dan Fouts was on they were
just trying to kill time and in if.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
You remember, that's an old movie, water Boy.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
But Musburger was in there with Dan Fouts and they
were just ad libbing. And Musburger's he asked Adam Sandler,
he said, can you give me a script? He said no,
just just kind of, you know, just wing it like
you do on television when you're calling NFL games.

Speaker 1 (22:33):
So Musburger did.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
And in that that particular scene, as was relayed by
Fouts and others have seen it, the words shut up,
Brent came out of the mouth of Adam Sandler, and
that moment.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
Has been immortalized over the years.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
Anyway, Musburger said that that was an ad lib line
that he assumed would not make the movie and was
shocked when he found out it was actually in the
movie because uh, you know, obviously he's like that was
gonna make it.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
That wasn't very good. Surprise. You never know. Camera is
always on, the mics are always on.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
Let's go to the phones, man, Let's seeho do we
have any meanie miny Moe.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
Pick a caller by their name.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
Let's say hello to Big Mic, who's deep in the
heart of Texas. Hello, Big Mike, Welcome.

Speaker 7 (23:25):
How are you ben?

Speaker 1 (23:28):
If I was thanks for asking. No one ever asked
me that question.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
If I was any better, I would be a Lance,
but not Trey Lance. Because everyone's kissing his ass today.
That must be very uncomfortable.

Speaker 8 (23:40):
Well drafted after Brock Perdy from Iowa stay and I
feel like Brock Purdy was hot the hot stuff, And so.

Speaker 2 (23:50):
Can you can you pick up Is there a chance
you can pick up the phone? Would that be too
much to ask? Like if you picked up the phone
so I can actually hear what you're saying there.

Speaker 1 (23:57):
I know that's a big request.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
I don't the week is now look at that unbelievable
audio quality. Now we can hear every single brilliant thing
that you were about to say. You are going to
enlighten so many people, big Mic. And by the way
you say your big mic, are you tall, are you fat?
Are you both?

Speaker 1 (24:14):
What are your big mic?

Speaker 9 (24:15):
I'm actually like one fifty five and five eight, so
I'm not very sure.

Speaker 1 (24:20):
Okay, all right, okay.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
So that's like when you call the skin when you
call the fat guy, skinny, I got you, all right, Yeah,
I got you all right.

Speaker 9 (24:29):
So Trey Lance was drafted after Brock Party from ioways say,
and Brock Party was the hot stuff, and so Sam Fran.

Speaker 8 (24:37):
Was going with Rock Party.

Speaker 9 (24:39):
Trey Lance backed him up for I think what two
years and never got a chance. And so Dallas decided,
let's get rid of our last third string.

Speaker 8 (24:48):
Guy, and we'll pick up Trey Lance. And when it
came time for somebody to fill up Dak Prescott's roll
because he twisted his ankle, we got Cooper Rush, which
I'm not against, but Trey.

Speaker 10 (25:02):
Why didn't we give Trey a chance?

Speaker 1 (25:05):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (25:05):
So you now hold on Sect, now hold on Sect.
Just to touch up your work, big Mic. The way
I would have done the take is Jerry Jones is
a du fist for not allowing Trey Lance the opportunity
to play. That would be how I would present that take.
My take would be the cowboys had Trey Lance.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
They never even knew what they really had. They didn't
give him an opportunity to really show what he could do.
My point, look at that, I'm touching up your work.
I'm touching up your work. Not far off? Are you
saying that? Are you saying the apple doesn't fall far
from the tree? Is that what you're saying?

Speaker 7 (25:42):
That does not? No, it does not.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
I got you? All right? What are you? What are
you doing up to stur What are you up to?

Speaker 8 (26:32):
In the trade deadline I'd.

Speaker 2 (26:34):
Rather I want to talk about pancakes. I want to
talk about.

Speaker 1 (26:38):
No, seriously, I want to know I got.

Speaker 2 (26:40):
I'm fascinated, like when it's packed that I hop How
stressful is it when you're back there big mic and
they've got you know, got seven orders backed up for
bacon and paint.

Speaker 8 (26:49):
I would like twelve.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
Twelve twelve twelve orders?

Speaker 2 (26:54):
Yeah, I got, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're you're a master
though you can you can make How does it take
you to make pancakes?

Speaker 1 (27:01):
Like stack of pancakes? How long does it take you
pull stack?

Speaker 10 (27:04):
Probably about three and a half for mine.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
Look at that.

Speaker 2 (27:09):
You are in many ways the homes of the pancake.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
Oh my god?

Speaker 7 (27:15):
Do that?

Speaker 11 (27:16):
Do they do pancake battles? Do you guys get to
go and do like a cookoff?

Speaker 12 (27:20):
I could eat some pancakes right.

Speaker 11 (27:21):
Now, Yeah you could.

Speaker 8 (27:22):
I drive and nobody wants to.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
It's unfortunate.

Speaker 10 (27:27):
And do you do.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
You never eat pancakes when you're at home because you
see them at work all the time.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
I would never eat pancakes.

Speaker 9 (27:36):
I have a chicken and waffles and to go back
waiting on me?

Speaker 2 (27:40):
Man, Okay, well, all will go get your chicken and waffles.
I don't want to interrupt you, but thank you for listening,
Big Mic.

Speaker 9 (27:46):
Look at that, Big Mic, Boys and rangers.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
Okay, and you go eat your your food. Okay, outstanding.
Let's go to eeny meenie miney mall. Let's go to Andre,
who's in the Commonwealth. Hello Andre, welcome.

Speaker 7 (28:06):
Ben, how are you doing? And that was quite an
invigorating call from Big Mics. I was down there talking
about being at eye hop man shutting up them pancakes.
But me, well, we've got a hunger in now, we've
got a hankering, you know what I mean, I might
as well be.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
People are claiming that that Willis is barking so much
that it then now they're accusing Willis of being.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
Fake again, that this is a fake waste.

Speaker 7 (28:31):
Then if we need a visual proof of Willis's reality,
that can be a set up on the Twitter machine,
even though we've already passed that test. But Big Mic again,
first of all, shout out to the good people that
I you know, how many of society's problems with the
cure if people could just sit down at one or
two o'clock in the morning and eat some big and
egg and grits and pancakes by Big Mic.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
Well, yes, are you are you an eye hop guy?
Or if you go to the south, of course you
can go to the waffle house. It's a rival of
Hop the blood blood brothers.

Speaker 12 (29:02):
Are you abusing the dog?

Speaker 7 (29:07):
Frankly, he's hungry, you know. He gets anytime there's food around,
and right, I thought, I thought, let me see if
I get a stack.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
But it is you would admit it's very odd that
the dog. We tried to get the dog to bark
for a while, the dog would not bark. Now the
dog won't shut up like we've we've done a one
eighty from where the dog was willis.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
To now the dog is interfering with our work here.

Speaker 7 (29:31):
I don't know, but interference. But Ben, you know, first
of all, we know that you have skills in the
kitchen and you like to chef up a good meal
here and there. But then you got Big Mike down
there talking about, you know, double stacks of pancakes. So
Will is here, he hears that, I mean, he can understand, right,
and he's a hungry dog again, rescue from down south
in Georgia. So anytime there's any any food anywhere in

(29:51):
the mix. He acts like to the point that Cooper
made no by the way I shout out to the
Broncos and bow Nicks, they're gonna have as we see them.
Willis agrees to make.

Speaker 12 (30:00):
Dagan this is a great call. Keep going.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
Yeah, if you any any propaganda of any propaganda about
the Broncos and Koop will give you the.

Speaker 7 (30:10):
Endorsement negative on the propaganda. Bo Nicks going into his
second year putting pressure on Caleb Williams because he showed
well in his first year. So the AFC West is
going to be knock you know, knocked down, drag out,
you know. But I two or at least two of
those teams, maybe three are making a playoffs. But I'm
gonna lean towards the Broncos. They're scheduled a little bit favorable.
And then and then you know they got the Cooper motivation.
Son to the point about Willis and his his reality. Okay,

(30:34):
anytime there's food, he's a rescue from Georgia. So his
idea if I'm if anybody is eating, that means Willis
is eating too. He doesn't take kindly to people talking
about double stack pancakes and him not getting to do
his gobble gobble. Okay, so that that's the thing. But
specific to sports, let's keep it, you know, Wilson, let's finish.
Just take care.

Speaker 1 (30:52):
Okay.

Speaker 7 (30:53):
First of all, we'll stay with the AFC West and
the Broncos. I do have them making the playoffs venue.
And then why are you again, it's the preseason. The
preseason is when that's when the get a chance.

Speaker 1 (31:04):
No, it's terrible. It's so bad. It's such a bad product.
It's terrible.

Speaker 2 (31:09):
It's like, it's not Rudy.

Speaker 1 (31:14):
You know, the Rudy. There was a who's it.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
Somebody worked at Fox Sports Radio years ago who was
on that Notre Dame team and said that was complete
bull crap, that they they embellished the Rudy story for.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
Hollywood and it was nothing like that.

Speaker 2 (31:27):
And so I wasn't there somebody worked here that said
that years ago. I just it's a bad product. It's
like it's a it's not fit for human consumption.

Speaker 7 (31:38):
It's not Rudy was the big part man we're talking about. Listen,
they should. This is a very nostalgic ton Okay, particularly
for eighties babies, you know, CEO, Paul Cogan and now
they want to attack it assault Rudy. I can't stand
for this, Okay, I understand.

Speaker 1 (31:53):
I Hey listen, I'm just telling you what somebody told me.
I didn't. I wasn't there. They just said somebody. I forget,
forget who it was. It was on you. He's on
the team, and he's like, yeah, yeah, that was bull
you know it was. It was not. It was not
the way that it was portrayed in the in the movie.
So I'm talking a headache. I gotta go, I get you,
get the dog, give me a headache. God believable.

Speaker 5 (32:15):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
Nate Tron says he always switches it up when the
dog is put under scrutiny.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
Let's put the dog down. No, we're not putting the
dog down.

Speaker 2 (32:23):
Ferducks says, that's what Nate Tron said. Ferk Ducks says,
my advice to Andrea's neighbors slip an edible into his
yard to shut that mud up.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
Wow, unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (32:34):
Alight, And Justin's got something about Sydney Sweeney and all that.
Matt Jack says the dog bark sounds as fake as
the Dodgers saying they're in it to win it. After
the draft or the trade day no show. Yeah, so
Malor Meet and Greet, Malard Meet and Greet.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
We have a date. We can announce this right now.

Speaker 2 (32:54):
We will be getting together for our second ever Malard

we just need to go to Vegas and hang out
and all that hang out. Do we have a venue,
coop yet? Do we have the venue yet? Do we
have a place a time? I know we have a
it's a date. It is being worked on. Okay, so
we don't have a venue or are we thinking the
same time as I think.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
We did three to five? Is that what we did
last time? I believe.

Speaker 2 (33:36):
Yeah, I mean that's a perfect time, right, I agree, Yeah,
three to five.

Speaker 1 (33:40):
So to be three to five in the afternoon in Vegas, Well,
we lot.

Speaker 12 (33:43):
To see what our what our host comes up with.

Speaker 1 (33:45):

if I'm in a good mood or a bad mood,
depending how much I lost on Friday night.

Speaker 1 (34:17):
So that'll be how that goes. And we'll eat some
good food, we'll tell some stories, the whole thing.

Speaker 2 (34:23):
So we'll have a grand time there at that particular date,
August twenty third.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
So we are just three weeks away or so from that.

Speaker 11 (34:32):
I think we should fly out a day early.

Speaker 1 (34:34):
Well, you get to Vegas day and we're now Wait,
I drive to it. I don't fly to it.

Speaker 5 (34:39):
That's true, you fly, I don't know yet.

Speaker 1 (34:43):
I drive. I drive in there, don't have to deal
with TSA. I do have that.

Speaker 2 (34:49):
Drive through all the desert towns that are dying, like
in out there in prim Oh my.

Speaker 11 (34:54):
Gosh, so sad I stayed at that Buffalo thing one time.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
O there I say it. Whiskey peets and Buffalo bills
are both gone. Oh pretty much. Buffalo bills. I guess
it is open on the weekends a little bit.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
That that mall all the time out there on the
state line, and it's gone pretty much.

Speaker 1 (35:07):
It's like a ghost mall.

Speaker 2 (35:08):
Now, somebody said they should, you know, they should do this,
and somebody brought this up to me.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
They should put a BUCkies out there. Wouldn't that be
a perfect spot.

Speaker 5 (35:15):
For a buies Seriously, Yes, it's.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
Not in California, I don't. They don't want to go
to California.

Speaker 2 (35:20):
So it's in Nevada on the Nevada side, and then
it's perfect. So many cars that go between La and
Vegas and just put a BUCkies in there, boom, you'd
kill it.

Speaker 1 (35:30):
Anyway. It is the Ben Maler Show.

Swaggered from Milkman, Mike Zach Kolaris from mcking Rory.

Speaker 1 (39:01):

Speaker 2 (39:03):
Page down long? John Silvers is where Bill?

Speaker 1 (39:07):
Who's your Bill? Says he used to work.

Speaker 2 (39:09):
Willis the Synthesizer from Kathy in Madison. Mister Unlimited from
Andy in Lionel Lakes, Minnesota.

Speaker 1 (39:18):
Who else we have? Can't read that on the air.

Speaker 2 (39:22):
Darryl Lamonica from our buddy Pardo, Lebron James from JT
the Wingman, George Plimpton, Lyons Legend from Steve the Misplaced
San Diego, June Jones from econ Roseville, Minnesota, Warren Moon
from the Texas Brain.

Speaker 1 (39:38):
Who else?

Speaker 2 (39:39):
Air Force? Andrew from Big lou He's on number two.
What about you, Lorraine Up.

Speaker 11 (39:44):
I'm gonna go with Lionel Messi Ben.

Speaker 2 (39:46):
No, the answer is the legendary Michael Bishop twenty five
years ago for the New.

Speaker 1 (39:53):
Zealand Patriots against the Niners.

Speaker 2 (39:56):
The last quarterback before this week to throw a touchdown
passing July.

Speaker 1 (39:59):
Here we go, it's Mallard. How about that?

Speaker 4 (40:02):
To the third degree, this is one big Ben gets
grilled cool.

Speaker 12 (40:09):
The other day, Brown's owner Jimmy Haslam dismissed any notion
that the team would tank for arch Manning Ben. Which
teams do you think are most likely to go into
tank mode this season?

Speaker 2 (40:17):
All right, so first of all, you never admit the tank.
You do the tank, but you do not admit the tank.
So even if the Brown and they have tanked before,
you can't admit it. So there's no way Haslam's going
to go on the record say yes, we are trying
to tank. But the obvious answer the headless Saints of
the Bayou, the New Orleans Saints, who don't have a quarterback,
have no coach.

Speaker 1 (40:38):
They suck. That's the team.

Speaker 2 (40:40):
And you know the famous Manning back in the day
who played there next.

Speaker 12 (40:45):
It was reported recently that the Warriors will quote remain
in the mix. Should Lebron James want to finish out
his career somewhere other than La Ben, could you see
Lebron teaming up with steph Uh?

Speaker 2 (40:56):
No, Lebron clearly wants to play for the Clippers. He's
sending out Clipper photos on social media. Justin sent me this.
I guess he's on there promoting the Clipper brand. So
I don't go to the Warriors. He's if he goes anywhere,
you go back to Cleveland. I only he's going or Dallas.
But he's not going to the Warriors, So I don't
see that happening.

Speaker 1 (41:15):
Next.

Speaker 12 (41:15):
Speaking of Dallas, the Mavericks hired a new team president,
and he said that his number one priority will be
fan outreach to heal the fans. Ben, can anything other
than a championship make up for the Luca trade?

Speaker 1 (41:30):
Oh, well, you gotta.

Speaker 2 (41:31):
They gotta fire fire Nico Harrison. You gotta get rid
of Nico Harrison.

Speaker 1 (41:36):
Number one.

Speaker 2 (41:37):
Championship would be nice, but you got to get rid
of Nico Harrison because as long as Nico's there, there's
always the threat. Whoever, the best player on the Mavericks
is at any moment could be traded. It's just an
unsustainable situation.

Speaker 1 (41:50):
But that is a that is a hot mess.

Speaker 2 (41:54):
And my god, all right there it is Mallard of
the third degree.

Speaker 1 (41:57):
How did we do? He passes it? Ah, I wanted
the buzzer, wanted the buzzer. Wow,
