  Speaker 2: Tire rack dot Com the Way Tire Buying Show. So
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: I lead this hour. I'm obsessed. I admit it. I'm
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: not gonna lie. There's no need to lie. Why would
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: you lie.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I am obsessed with all the juicy gossip around the
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: football world here as we have an entire week that
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: is designed for the silly season of the NFL, and
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I'm in, I'm in, I'm all about it.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: So I thought we would lead.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: This hour by hopping on the Merry go round, round
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: and round and round and round the quarterback Mary go round.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: So it's time for our obligatory malle monologue on the
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: future of Matthew Slamford. I know you're dying to know
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: now if you have not heard the latest, possibly not.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: There is said to be optimism that Matthew Stafford will
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: be ending up in a city that isn't Los Angeles.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: We have learned there is said to be a new
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: front runner for Matthew Stafford. No Raiders, that's right, the Raiders,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Sin City. I love the reporting on this. The reporting
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: is that Matthew Stafford's camp and the Raiders have found
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: common ground on a new contract and how that would
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: be structured. And little birdies that love slot machines and
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: roulette tables and resort fees and twenty five dollars parking
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: per day in Vegas say that the Raiders, now they've
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: already worked out the outline, if you were, the blueprint
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: of what a contract would look like. And now they're
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: at the negotiation stage with the Rams. They have to
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: come up with a compensation package with the l A Rams,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: and then they get Matthew Stafford.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: So let us discuss that.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Will assume, for the purposes of this Mallard monologue, that
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: that report is accurate. The Raiders said to be the
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: new front runner for Matthew Stafford in a trade.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: How much stock do you put on that? So I've got.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Professional wrestling, Lando Lakes, Butter and Golden Hammer, and we're
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: gonna put all these things together. We're gonna make the gobbagool.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: We're gonna make the gobbagool, all right, So to begin
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: here in terms of how much stock. As you know,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: in one of my nicknames I am, I'm the King
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: of Wall Street. So this is my nemesis in the
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: football season, the penny.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: It's a penny stock.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: At this point, I assume nothing and I question everything.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: That's good talk radio. I'm a skeptic, Okay, I am
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: in a show me state of mind. Here's why we
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: know this is a fluid situation. Twenty four hours ago,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: the Giants were the favorite.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Now the Raiders.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Well, you got a couple of days to go here.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: So if Stafford let's play this out here, you and I.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: If Stafford picks the Raiders, he would be making a
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Faustian bart. He would be giving up any realistic chance
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: of getting to another super Bowl for a check.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: And maybe he's fine with that.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, after all, he did win, for my money,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the greatest super Bowl the modern era, Rams and Bengals
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: a couple of years back, Rams stood atop the mountain.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: So for Stafford, he's goutys a little hunk of metal,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: will piece of metal right there. And so yeah, if
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: you got to not win another one, but you get
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: a nice, nice deal, a nice contract. Okay, now the issue,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: and this is why I'm a skeptic on this. Mark
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Davis as an NFL owner, Mark Davis, if he was
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: a professional wrestler, his nickname, you.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Know, his nick name would be he would be El Chipo.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: That would be his nickname. He is penny rich and
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: dollar poor. I think that's how it goes. Penny rich,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: dollar port. I think that's the phrase. It would be
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: out of character to pay Stafford what he's gonna want,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: fifty plus million dollars a year, unless Stafford is willing
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: to cut some kind of deal.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Maybe he would be.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know why you would do that with the Raiders.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: If you look at the roster, barring some kind of
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: dramatic recreation of that roster this offseason, that team as
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: it is currently instructed, with only a couple of additions,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: would not be even a wildcard team you would assume
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: next season. Now, furthermore, let's get to the timeline. So
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I think this part of the story is interesting. Otherwise
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't have brought it up. But we are told
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: that both the Rams and Matthew Stafford believe there will
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: be a resolution to all the confusion soon regarding Stafford's status,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: whether he stays or goes with the Rams, and it
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: should be done by the end of the NFL combine.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: The plot thickened some more.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Hello now State sponsored the NFL media the problem. The
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: news service of the NFL tells us that all options
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: are on the table, including staying put, keeping his tucks
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: with the Rams, going to the Raiders. As we've mentioned,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: the Giants are still lurking in the shadows, and my favorite,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: the Mystery Team. I love the Mystery Team. Give me
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: the mystery, give me the misery, all right, So, how
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: do the next seventy to hours because remember this is
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: we're now our Friday show. The Combine ends on Monday,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: So how do the next seventy two hours or so
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: go on? Matthew Stafford watch, So we have our end
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: that team coverage here around the clock on the Fox
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: box that rocks. And this is land O Lake's butter. Okay,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: as in Matthew Stafford spinning butter as he does soul searching,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: does he.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Pick his happy place with a Rams?
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: But in order to do that, as we've talked about,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: he'd have to leave money on the table. The Rams,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: if what we're hearing is accurate, have put their foot
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: down and said.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: You've got a deal. We're not going to pay you
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: what you want.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: And does Stafford say, Okay, I'd rather fill up my
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: four to oh one K to the max. And it's
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: really not his We're talking about like three or four
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: generations down the line. We're we're talking one hundred and
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: fifty years from now, taking care of those great great grandkids,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: that kind of thing.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: So get the Mickey mouse dollars. With the combine ding.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: On Monday, a decision will likely come down Saturday or Sunday,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: we hope Sunday properly before the show. Give us time
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: to process everything. Get the The show started on Sunday
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: night with some hot Stafford news.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: But as for what Stafford is worth in a.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Trade, now, I would love if the Raiders of the
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Giants are dumb enough to trade a first round pick.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: I realize that's not gonna happen. I also realize they're
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: not going to get a second round pick at most.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: The Rams, I would think, barring some kind of Jedi
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: mind trick, will get a third round pick and some
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: conditional pick swap or some other conditional draft picks, depending
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: on how staffords a stays healthy and be how he performs.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: The real fun begins if Stafford hits the eject button. Now,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: that is when things get very, very interesting, because then
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: the Rams starting job opens up, and that becomes a
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: very coveted position. Being able to work with the greatest
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: offensive mind in modern football, Sean McVay, and a.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Team that has a young upstart.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Defense and an elite top ten receiver in Puka Nakua
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: and a pretty good running back. I mean, there's a
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: lot of good stuff going on with the Rams right now,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: and so that job becomes the pick.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Of the litter.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Now, unfortunately the litter, it's a lot of dogs with fleece.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: But you got that Aaron Rodgers story, Aaron Rodgers lurking
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: in the shadow. So we'll see how this all plays out.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: I'm excited, you know, I'm fired up. We'll see how
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: it all plays out, all right, Now, last thing, so
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: I want to follow up on what was our lead
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: story in a previous episode of the show, NFL Media
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: a Musings. Everyone in the media business talking about these
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: two insiders getting into a dust up. And I bring
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: that up because an NFL spokeshack said that the league
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: has no issue with Matthew Stafford meeting with Tom Brady
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: and the Raiders. The league said the club gave permission.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: So what is your takeaway from that new wrinkle in
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: this story? So this is an obvious w for the
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: upstart underdog insider.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: It is a golden hammer for.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Fox's Jordan Schultz, the golden hammer over NFL Networks.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Ian Rappaport.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Now, these djmokes, if you didn't hear what happened, maybe
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: you don't obsessed with this crap like some of us do.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: So these two Schmendricks got into a verbal Donnie Brook
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: at a Starbucks at the JW. Marriott in downtown Indianapolis.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: They got into it. They were having.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: A nice fruit drink and then they got into it.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: So the NFL has sighted with Jordan Schultz report being accurate. Now,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: what is my supporting evidence by saying the league said
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: that it has no issue with Stafford meeting with Tom Brady,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: they are the NFL validating That's the word I would use,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: validating Jordan Schultz reporting that those guys had a clandestine
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: meeting in Montana, and it was not not what the
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: rap sheet reported that it was some random cosmic accident
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: that they just happened to end up at the same
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: spot in Montana, surrounded by moose. It wasn't that, and
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: I continue to my opinion is that was just spin
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: from the Tom Brady camp.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: They were concerned about getting in trouble with the league.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Brady's paranoid from everything that happened in his days with
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: the Patriots, and so they leaked that to a former
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Patriot beat writer, more likely than not Ian Rapaport. He
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: of course went with it because he's waiting for the
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: next Tom Brady scoope. But the NFL again, that's it's
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: not me, it's the NFL saying that they have no
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: issue with the get together because it wasn't get together.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: The NFL would not have released that statement if it
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: was just some chance kwinkie dink that they.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Ran into each other. So that is a cut.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Punch to the rap sheet friendly fire too, because he's
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: on the NFL dime, he's on the NFL payroll. And
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: we'll see what the investigation leads to. But I was
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: flipping around and I was watching I don't really watch
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: these NBA games very much, but I love the TNT
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: guys like Barkley and Shack and Kenny Smith and those guys,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: and they were yapping about the Jordan Schultz Ian Rappaport
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Donnybrook situation was more verbal donny Brook than anything.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: But even they were yapping about it. It's a great story.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: It's great kind of things.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Though again, that used to happen all the time, regular occurrence.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: People would get very jealous, very competitive, and they would
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: go at it, logger heads all over the place.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: It is the Ben Malors Show.
• 14:04

  Speaker 2: Right now, though, back to.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: A man with a lot of nicknames, including Big gall Bladder,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: which is kind of dumb because he doesn't have a
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: goal bladder. Well it's ben actually, and I don't have
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: a gollbladder, thus the irony of the nickname Big goll Bladder.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: The gallbladder was removed one of the more painful operations
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: one can have a couple of years back. But well,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: I think it's been like five almost five years now.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: It's it's been over that.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: Do you miss it?
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: Nah?
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: No, No, I don't know, don't really miss it. Only
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: sometimes it affects me. Depends Like I fast a fair amount.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: So sometimes if I eat like a really heavy meal
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: with lots of fried food, I got the Tennessee trots.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: You know, I got the manazumas revenge.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: But what the gallbladder do exactly what.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: It's supposed to kind of cleanse some of the fat.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: I think, I believe out of the food you eat.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: I believe.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: I'm not a doctor, but I can't play one on
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: the radio. But if you eat a really unhealthy diet,

• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, it's like we're really like aliens.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: We don't realize it because all we know is us,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: But like it's kind of scary when you think about
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: what's inside.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: It's wild our bodies.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: It's pretty pretty crazy stuff for sure. Yaphemi and Chicago
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Rights and says, hey, mallord a a plus in some
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: NFL offseason kool aid on the monologue for what It's worth,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: I think you would win in an altercation with a
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: rival radio gas bag. Yeah, there have been many of
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: those over the years. The most famous one in LA
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: radio goes back to when the La Raiders played at
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: the Coliseum. This predates me, but I heard it from
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: many people when I got.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: Into the into the business.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: So there was this talk show host in La who
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: it was a buddy of mine, Jim Raw not himro
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Joe McDonald, Big Joe, the Big Nasty. It was like
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: a legend. It was like the Francesa of LA Radio
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: dominated for years. And so the legend is that Joe McDonald,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: who was a very large man in more ways than one.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: I mean he was, he was big. He made me
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: seem small at my biggest and big Joe was upset
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: with Jim Rome Freudian slip, and supposedly.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: They got into it.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: And this is before Jim Rome became Jim Rome and Joe.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: McDonald allegedly, Well he's dead, I can say it. I mean,
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: he's not. Joe would appreciate me saying it because he's not.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: I can't assue me now.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: But he's supposedly picked up Jim Rome by the neck
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: in the press box at the Coliseum during a Raiders game.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: And the legend is that's like the last time Jim
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Rome ever went.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: To an event.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: But I don't know, and I don't I know Jim
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: a little bit. He used to work at our place,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: so I have nothing. And when I worked in San Diego,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Jim was just starting out, and he had been not
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: just starting, he'd been there for a while. But nothing
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: bad to say about him. I just it's one of
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: the great legendary stories. Yeah, super Marcus Steve says, my
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: bad Bend. You got the run down in just in time. Yeah,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: this super Mike Steve, What a schmuck. Such a schmuck.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Larry D says, just because Bill Miller got a website first,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: that does not make.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: Him more important than Ben Maller.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: I agree, Milkman, Mike and Colorado says, fantabulous Friday opening
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Mallard monologue on the spin cycle from the NFL overlords.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: It appears to me that this is the NFL covering
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: for Brady since they've set aside.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: The rules for him as a part owner.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Okay, Late night drug tester says, the NFL is going
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: to make sure that Stafford trade news gets out on Sunday.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: That way will overtake the only other news from the
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: combine the shouting match at a Starbucks. Oh, mister Luciano
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: writes it. He says, four point nine out of ten.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: That's a low score by mister Luciano on the opening
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: Mallard monologue. With some RAMS tiers on the side, this
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: will be the beginning of the downfall of the Rams
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: if Matthew Stafford decides to leave. You cannot be more wrong,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: mister Luciano. Now I am I'm hoping that Stafford. I
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: think he's gonna be the Giants, but I hope he
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: goes to the Raiders. And here's why, because when the
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Rams picked up Matthew Stafford, all my buddies who are
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Raider fans.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: I got a lot of buddies who are Raider fans.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: And they're like a sleeper cell Raider nation, because you
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: don't want to be too loud and proud as a Rader.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: Because the Raiders blow right. So but there's a lot
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: I know a lot of people in my life that
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: are Raider fans.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: And when the Rams got Matthew Stafford, all these idiots,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: oh man, they quoted like Rob Parker, Stat Padford and
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: all that.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and they were giving me the business. And then
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: Stafford goes.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Out and helps the Rams who win a Super Bowl,
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: and everyone got real quiet.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Everyone got real quiet. So I'm I've got my receipts.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: I promise you, you know who.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: You are if you're in my in my world as
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: a raider, a raider, Hank, and I will promise you
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: I will cash in those receipts the moment at Stafford
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: goes to Vegas. Yes, I will, And I will laugh
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: when the Rams get Aaron Rodgers or a pile of
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: fertilizer quarterback.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: And end up end up winning.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Gunner rights in, I'm guessing he won't be calling
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: in after the the Timberwolves game. Gunner says, great opening monologue.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: I liked it.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: He says he sent that to Bill Miller. I don't
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: know why you would send that to Bill Miller. It's
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: a bad job by you.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: Jeremy in Minnesota says Ben. Where the twins? I don't.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: I don't have my gallbladder said we're twins anymore either. Yeah,
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: there you go. Furdock says Bill Miller's doing monologues. I know,
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: isn't it. Yeah.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Spaccoli says, next time I call, I will end my
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: call by saying rack me now, I'm good. I'm good
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: on that. Eileen says the Rams should go with Jimmy G.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: I think there are some other reasons. Eileen would like
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: to see Jimmy G play quarterback for the for the Hey,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: I don't care, listen, I've been very clear here. The
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: secret for the Rams is the Wizard is Sean McVay,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: and as long as he's there and they get a
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: halfway decent quarterback, they'll be at least a playoff team.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: And you look at the division. The Seahawks aren't even trying.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: They're not even trying with Gino Smith. And as much
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: as Nostradinis tries to sell you on Geno Smith, deep
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: down he knows the guys is stiff even crying. Craig's
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: crying right now thinking about Geno Smith sticking around for.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: A longer term. Arizona's not serious.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: They got a gamer, a video game guy at quarterback,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: and Kyler Murray and the jig is up in the
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Bay Area. Brock Purty, mister, mister, you know what, as
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: he was the last pick in the raft, he's starting
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: to play.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: A little bit like that now.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: So the Rams, even if they get a bad quarterback,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: they'll be as just the same as all the others.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: In the division.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: It's pretty even situation, if you will. All right, it
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: is the Ben mal Or Show. We are working our
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: way through the overnight hours, and we'll start out on
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: the phones. We'll go to the Bay Area and let's
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: say hello to Tony in the Bay Area.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Hello, Tony, for.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: He's a jolly good foul Oh, for he's a jolly
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: good foul.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: What's no one can?
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: And I, hey, Ben, I got a few things. One is,
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: after a rare and appropriate good call, I listen on
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: the radio, and if I like I said, I celebrate
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: with throwing punches in the air. Another thing is I'd
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: like to say to all my fans, and I mean
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: this from the bottom of my heart, please get some help.
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: And I got a joke here, Ben, Okay, how do
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: you make a sad clown smile?
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: I don't know. How do you make a sad clown smile?
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: I don't know?
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: You say Hello, Tony? Thanks Ben? I don't get it.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: It's all right. He didn't curse, right, that's not a curse.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: Curse?
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: Is he? Okay? Can we do a wellness check on Tony?
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: He hung up there, he didn't aggress. He's he hung up.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: So he wanted to go turn on whatever he's listening
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: to in whatever device he's listening on, and hear himself.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: So he hung up real quick. So I got to
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: go back and I got to turn that on, and
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: I gotta hear that. I want to hear what that's like.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: So there's a little.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Conspiracy theory, uh, you know, making the rounds here Uh.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: The the NBA on Thursday night, the timber Puffs played
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: the Lakers.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: I know Gunnar doesn't want to talk about that.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: And the game, the final score was was Lakers by
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: I think they won a BYuT like nine or something
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: like that, but they never trailed. Minnesota did not play
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: very well early in the game. But there's something deeper
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: going on.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: In that game.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: There's always something deeper, uh, And that would be the
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: old school NBA officiating. James Williams, somebody named Brent Barnakey,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Brandon Adair. I think I don't even know I'm pronouncing
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: the names. I know I got James Williams right.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: I know that. I know I got.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: James name right, number sixteen year program. Now I did
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: I know I know how to say James Willias.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Brent Barnakey, I think I got that right, and Brandon
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Adare anyway, those are the officials that worked the game
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: there at the down on skid Row where the Lakers play,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: and the Lakers had forty six foul shots. They had
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: twenty more foul shots than the Minnesota timbul So people
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: are saying, well, it's a conspiracy to help Luke out,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: and Luca didn't shoot the ball well. Again, he had
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: twenty one points, but he was six of twenty one
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: of nine from moneyball land, so he didn't do all that.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: Curt.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, he had rebounds, a few assists and all that,
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: but he didn't shoot the ball well. He's supposed to
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: be a premier shooter. But I'm not gonna see her
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: and talk about that. And I don't even know that.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: The Laker conspiracy thing is the angle to me, the
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: angle on this the conspiracy is if you were paying attention.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: The other day, the Timberwolves played in Oklahoma City, actually played.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Back to back, and after.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: The last game, which I believe Minnesota one their coach,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Chris Finch, Remember he was like in a wheelchair during
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: the playoffs, all messed up anyway, Chris Finch, the coach
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: of the Timberwolves, he seemingly called out the officials for
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: the fact that Oklahoma City in that game, like they
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: were getting tons of foul calls on Minnesota helping Oklahoma
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: City out, and Finch was implying that there was some
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: kind of funny business. The way I read it, he
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: was implying there was some funny business with the officials.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: So it certainly seemed like that was a little payback
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: by the referees there in the game on Thursday night.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: It's like, hey, you took some shots at us, We'll
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: take care of you right now. Well, they'll take care
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: of you, and that's that. And so that's how you
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: get a forty six to twenty six advantage one team
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: over the other. Lakers outscored Minnesota by twelve from the
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: floor or from the foul line. Rather, Minnesota actually outscored
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: the Lakers in field goals.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: And they had one more moneyball in that game, one
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: more money ball.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Also in that
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: game it was ball night, Anthony Edwards was ejected with
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: a second technical foul. Happened with five twenty one on
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: the clock in the third quarter of that game. The
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Minnesota star kicked out and then he walked off the court.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: He took the ball with him, but he didn't take
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: it all the way to the locker room. He threw
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: the ball into the crowd at the Laker Wolves game.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: And so he'll be he'll be fine for that, tossing
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: the ball into the stands. And every time I see
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: a play like this where somebody, and it happens every
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: so often, somebody will chuck the ball into the crowd.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: The single greatest event where somebody threw a ball into
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: a crowd of a basketball game. Most people don't remember
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: because I'm I was a kid relatively speaking when this happened.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: But the Indiana Pacers had a guy named Chuck Person.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: You probably don't know who that is. I think he
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: went to jail for some some funny business. I don't
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: know some was it COVID stuff or recruiting, I don't know, whatever,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. But Chuck Person was a pretty good
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: player back in the old days. And he got ejected.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: They were playing the Chicago Bulls at the old Chicago Stadium,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: and he walked all on the court towards the locker room,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: walked off it, and he took the basketball and.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: He punted it into the crowd like an NFL punter.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: It was awesome.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: It was I'm sure the clips on YouTube, I'm positive
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: you can, you can find it.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: But it was a beautiful.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: It was like watching Johnny Hecker or Reggie Roby punt
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: the football. It was great, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful wonderful. Anyway,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: It is the Ben Mahlor Show. Time now for the
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: who am I Game? And we'll get to that. We'll
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: take some more of your calls at seven to seven
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: ninety nine on FIS. Also, the final three are now set.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: The final three are now set. But here's the who
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: am I game?
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: Who?
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm gonna get to it right now. Thus it's
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: the who am I Game?
• 30:31

• 30:35
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl era with ten plus touchdown catches and ten
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: or more interceptions in my career. That's including the postseason. Again,
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: all these players that have played in the NFL over
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: the years, there have been a few, but I am
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: the only one in the modern ear of the Super
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: Bowl era goes back to the late sixties that has
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: ten or more touchdown catches and ten or more interceptions
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: in my career.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: That's including the playoffs. Who am I? If you know
• 31:05

• 38:39
  Speaker 5: eighty eight, and he's an Aquarius, just had his birthday
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: a few weeks ago, and you know, that's kind of
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: an eccentric energy, and I could see him with the raiders,
• 38:50
  Speaker 5: you know, if he's moving on and he's having a
• 38:54
  Speaker 5: Saturn aspect square is Mars, and you know, I always
• 38:57

• 39:01
  Speaker 5: rules the skeletal system, bones, knees, teeth, joints, back, So
• 39:05
  Speaker 5: we'd have to be a little mindful about that in
• 39:09
  Speaker 5: terms of moving forward. So no real red flags, but
• 39:13
  Speaker 5: just kind of a lowered energy cycle. So that's something
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: to just keep your expectations not too high. But nonetheless,
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: it is a happy new moon in Pisces, and you know,
• 39:25
  Speaker 5: that's a nice energy to have, you know, with the
• 39:29
