  Speaker 1: number two. It's all about amount of money. The packers
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: opened up their books as they have to do. Where
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: are you at on the NFL handing over checks to
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: each team for over four hundred and thirty two million
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: in national revenue over the last fiscal year. We'll talk
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: about that also, Coach Brian Daball naming Russell Wilson the

  Speaker 1: Giants QB one before training camp really gets going. That

  Speaker 1: is blank, we'll fill in the blank. And Eagles quarterback
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurtz explains the refusal to where the Super Bowl rings, saying, hey,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: he's moved on. It's a new year. People seem upset
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: by that. Does that work with you though? What Jalen
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Hurts had to say, We'll go there as well. It's
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: our number two, rising from the dead, making it rain baby.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Welcome in the beginning of another hour of The Ben
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Mahler Show. As we continue the Red Eye flight, we
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: are in the air everywhere, hand in hand as we
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: provide moonlight. Mallard monologues coast to coast, border to border
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: and beyond on the vast and voice hoarously powerful microphones
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: of fsr M monating live from the hammer as we
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: hammer away, the hot sports takes one after another from
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: the Fox Sports radio studios, as approved by former WNBA
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: fans Supermarket Steve So Supermarket Steve used to get very
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: upset that we only talked about Caitlin Clark. We wouldn't
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: talk about the WNBA, and you're very upset about that.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: And then after the WNBA players protested, he now does
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: not like the WNBA, So he's okay with us ignoring
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: the WNBA. Now, this portion of the Ben Malers Show
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: made possible in part by our friends at tire Rack.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: For over forty years, tire Rack has been helping customers
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: find the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: ship fast and freeback by free road hazard protection with
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tire rack dot
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Com The Way tire Buying Showy. So our lead this
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: hour is from the Frozen Tundra. So the story that
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: happens every time around this time, every year around this time,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: much like certain events Punk Satani Phil will he see
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: his shadow? How many more weeks of winter? The Swallows
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: returning to Capistrano. So it was open book Day in
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Green Bay. Oh man, I always look forward to Open
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: book Day in Green Bay. It's great, it really is.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: So for some reason you're not familiar with I don't
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: know how you wouldn't be, but maybe you're not paying attention. So,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: as a publicly owned football team, the Green Bay Packers
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: have to let everyone know all of the math, all
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: of the numbers, and they revealed the national revenue sharing
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: from the previous fiscal year. This is not Wall Street
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Radio turns out though, that the green Bay Packers were
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: given a check by their sugar dotty at the NFL
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: four hundred and thirty two point six million, four hundred
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: and thirty two point six million. This a year after
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: national revenue top four hundred million, and so first time
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: over the four hundred million threshold. So that the finance
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: is the only peak behind the curtain. The only way
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: we look and see what's on the other side into
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: the NFL's revenue sharing numbers is again, you know, the Packers.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Not to to bore you with the minutia, but as
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: the only publicly owned team, the Packers are required to
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: reveal their financial information on an annual basis. So what
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: does that mean. Let's break it down with four hundred
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: thirty two point six million distributed, and you do the
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: math on that, divide it. Thirty two NFL teams got
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: four hundred thirty two point six million. That means the
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: league as a whole shared more than thirteen billion in revenue.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: More than thirteen billion if my malor math is correct
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: from the previous fiscal year. So a little bit better
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: than the Overnight show. So let us discuss the question
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: where are you at on the NFL handing over checks
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: to each team for four hundred and thirty two million
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: in national revenue over the last year. So I've got
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: El Chapo, Ozzie and and Mark Jackson, and we will
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and we're gonna go
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: get some petty cash out of the NFL's ATM machine.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: So number I said number. What this is is a
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: refresher course the NFL. We say it all the time,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: but for those that don't listen all the time, the
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: NFL is the most idiot proof business in America. Remember
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: years ago, I was thinking about doing another side hustle.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: I always had two or three media jobs and I
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: get this show. I got a podcast. Hopefully they'll bring
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: the TV show back. But I've always got a lot
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: of stuff going on. I always got a lot of
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: stuff going on. I thought, well, maybe I'll do a
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: little side hustle. I was like, I was looking at it, like,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: what are the most idiot proof businesses? And they're like
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: vending machines atm machines, although that's risky because people might,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: you know, rob you with a gun and take your money.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Laundromat things like that, or running a McDonald's, you know,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: getting a successful fast food frameanchise, which is very expensive
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: to get one of those. Except so think of the
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: NFL kind of like a Mickeyd's, except with a lot
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: more money, right, And you can't screw this thing up.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: You can't. Like there's some real n income poops that
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: own NFL teams, and these these owners, I'm convinced they could.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: They could sleep through the league meetings, they could light
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: the playbooks on fire while they're smoking their cigars, and
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: they still cash these ridiculous checks. It's like every year,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: like clockwork, here come the Green Bay Packers. The Squeaky Reel. Now,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I was told several years back. I don't even know exactly.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's many, many years. It all runs together.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: It's like a blank, giant blob of time. But I
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: was told by some of the works of the NFL
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: who who was an associated mind, that the league years
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: ago tried to find a way to have the Packers
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: be owned by some meaning they would no longer be
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: part of the community. And they were. They had lawyers
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: look at everything and all the agreements because it's a
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: bit of a problem. The Packers are the squeaky wheel
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: of the NFL, the only team in the industrial complex
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: of North American sport, in the big sports that matter
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: that's owned by I say, owned by the fans, but
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I have some friends of mine that owned the Packers.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: They bought stock in the Packers. It's not like you
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: get to decide who the quarterback is, but it means
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: for our purposes every July, we get to play Bikkaboo,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: bik kaboo, behind the velvet curtain, Behind the Velvet Curtain,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: and Sweet Baby Jesus. It's like opening El Chapo's ledger
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: and finding just how much money those drug cartels make
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: four hundred and thirty two million per team in national revenue.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: And so let's break that down unscientifically for those of
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: you that are slow learners, because I was a slower.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: That's not ticket sales. That's not the beer money. That's
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: not the nachos, the peanuts, the hot dogs. That's TV.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: That's gambling partnership money. That's the streaming money. That's thirteen
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: point eight billion sliced up like a drug cartel, profit
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: sharing operation. These guys are laundering the American passion. Pure profit,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: pure profit. It's like the NFL has so much money.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: In my head, they've gone out to somewhere in Missouri
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: and they've got storage units. Maybe Ronnie the Bullet, Ronnie
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: the Bullet out there can go in there and find
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: the storage unit where they put the cash in there.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: It's like Breaking Bad season five. So maybe it's sound
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: in New Mexico, but like, what are they doing? Like
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but they building new yachts every year.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: They got gold plated iPads, they got I mean, my god,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: they could put a NFL game if they want. They
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: could put it in on the moon, and not because
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: they need to do that, just because they can, just
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: because they can. And the packers and of course they're
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: forced to tell the truth. And they reported an eighty
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: three point seven million dollar operating profit last year. Good
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: for the I'm not ripping them. I may good for them.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: May every business be profitable, not every business? And can
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: they actually reward their employees unlike some cheap companies. All right,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: that's up twenty three million year to year, right, twenty
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: three million, And so it's listen, it's good for them.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: They're successful. Meanwhile, you think about the NFL, and it
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter whether you're good or not. The Cleveland Browns blow,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: and you know, they can go out there and win
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: four games and they still get the same game check
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: or the same check, not a game check, but the
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: same money. And the Browns could hire a kangaroo to
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: run the team and they'd still turn a profit with
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: a kangaroo. Okay, the NFL is the casino and casinos
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: make money, but they this one always makes money, like
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: a lot of money you don't give. You don't give
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: any other business that kind. I mean, I'm sure there's
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: some Wall Street places, some defense contractors that make a
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: ton of money and all that, but my god, it is,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: it is insane. So remember that now we do talk
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: about who's worth money who's not worth money. I don't
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: want to hear any sob stories about some owner crying
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: poverty and all that stuff. When these guys say they
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: can't afford to pay a player, they can always afford
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: to pay a player. The issue is not whether you
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: can afford to pay the player. The issues you want
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: to play pay the player. Is the player worth the money?
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: And for a team to say, wow, we can't afford,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: like a Bengals to it's like all of your payroll
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: is covered by the set by the check from the league, right,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: So it's just it's really it's like Jeff Bezos saying
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: I'm on a budget, and you know, come on, the
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: only thing you're really budgeting is how many jets you're
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: gonna buy this year, and how many yachts and all
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: that stuff. And the NFL at this point, the NFL
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: is not just a sport. It's the cartel. But they
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: do have nice helmets, they do have nice summits. Now
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: page two to Jersey we go, and we have a
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: quarterback one that has been announced coach Brian Dayball, who's
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: still hanging around somehow. You talk you about a cat
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: with nine lives. So Brian Dable named Russell Wilson mister
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Unlimited Russell Wilson the Giants starting quarterback before training camp.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: It hasn't really gotten going, but Brian Dable as training
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: camp began, named Russell Wilson as the Giants starting quarterback.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: That is blank. We'll play the fill in the blank game.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: So Brian Dable naming Russell Wilson QB one for the
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Giants is blank. My fill in the blank is I
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: wrote down on my scorecard. Chicken fertilizer is what that is.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: I'd rather say the other word, but we're not allowed to.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: That is chicken bleep is what it is by the Giants.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: It's absolute garbage, all right. The fact that Brian Dable
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: anointed Russell Wilson the number one quarter like, does he
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: not realize it's twenty twenty five, it's not twenty fourteen
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: or twenty fifteen. Spoiler alert. This just into the Fox
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio newsroom. Russell Wilson there she blows, he's not good, right,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: and he has not been the guy. He hasn't been
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: that guy in a while. And this is a total
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: vote of no confidence for Jackson Dart the rookie and
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: famous Jameis Winston and at least pretend, at least pretend
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: like there's a competition, right. No, this reeks of the
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: late Ozzy Osbourne classic crazy Train. It's a desperation from
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Brian Daball. No, why right now? Not only is Russell
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Wilson's stink, it's bigger than that. Right, He's a glorified
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: game manager. He's got a bloated resume. The guy has
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: been Matt at best for three years running. And this
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: goes back to something we've talked about for many, many
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: years behind these microphones. It is the theory the man
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: that shot Liberty Vounce. Once the legend becomes the fact,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: you go with the legend, right, you print the legend,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: you talk about the legend. And the legend of Russell
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Wilson was established in those salad days in Seattle with
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: the legion of Boom and all that. And Russell Wilson
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: has as many MVP votes as I've got and you've
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: got right, He's never been really all that great, but
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: he had some good defensive teams and he was always something.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: There were always three or four or five or six
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: or seven or eight quarterbacks better now there are twenty
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks often better than him, and his last year in
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Seattle was not that great. He went to Denver was
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: a dumpster fire, went to Pittsburgh, polize unless you like
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: those five yard outs. And of course people called that
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: a career revival. I didn't realize a five yard out
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: was a career revival. Apparently is. And in Russ, I
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: get he's living off the man that shot Liberty Vunce.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: He's living off that one super Bowl and the let
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Russ cook hype from back in the day, and that's it.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: And Brian Dabole, the coach who's been billed as the
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: quarterback whisper when he was in Buffalo quarterback whisperer with
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen, and he's just handed Russell Wilson the job.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Like why it's again, it's not twenty thirteen, it's we've
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: moved on from that. And now it's not all bad
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: because we do anticipate that we'll get some good corny sound,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: some good corny sound rehearse slogan. Russ is like a
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: mix of a motivational speaker and you know, a cheese ball.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: And he's had a youth pastor retreat because on the field,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: he's just blah bad, all right, blah blah blah blah
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: blah bad, and that's bad, but he's not and he's
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: not even fun bad though, as we pointed out, Jameis
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Winston and I want the record to show the Ben
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Malors show we support Jameis Winston. Jameis Winston's chaos. Jameis
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Winston is a pick six to the right, crab legs
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: of the left, four hundred yard passing games followed by
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: four turnovers in the middle, and you know what that
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: is entertainment. You're bad, but at least you're entertaining. You
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: know what. Russ is balling And this just feels like
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Brian Dable, who's one of those guys who's on the
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: hot seat covering his own tookas and he needs to
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: win and he thinks that Russ gives him the quote
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: safe option if you will, all right? Final point, Jeff
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Philla Delphia, we go where Eagles quarter fact Jalen Hurts
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: explain that he is refusing to wear refusing to wear
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: the recent Super Bowl ring after his MVP performance and
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: all that Hurt says, quote, he's moved on, moved on
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: to the new Year. It's as simple as that. Now
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: that has upset some people, but does it work for you?
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Does it work for you that Jalen Hurts is not
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: wearing his bling bling So I am nodding my head. Yes,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: all right, I love it. And as Mark Jackson would say,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: this is what we call a grown man move. I'll
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: be Benny Brightside. Good job by Jalen Hurts. All right,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts gets it. You gotta move forward. That is
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: the way this works.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: We know that accolades people love to celebrate that they
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: sit there and smell themselves, right, But accolades are just
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: the receipts for things you've already done. And it's you know,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: it's when you become an old dude. You sit around
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: your rocking chair and you talk about the glory days.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: You drink a glass of lemonade, marcol mar Day. Come
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: on the other factor, and I'll never forget out a conversation.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Years ago, when I was doing some NBA stuff, there
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: was a guy named Phil Jackson and he used to
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: coach the Bulls and the Lakers, and Phil won more
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: championships than just about anybody. And I remember this was
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: twenty five years ago, and Phil Jackson was complaining then
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: about how when he first won a championship I think
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: it was with the Knicks in the seventies, it probably
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: fifty years ago whatever, but the championship rings were designed
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: for the person to wear. They were more like class rings.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: And Phil would be complains of these rings. I can't
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: they're too big, They're for a safety deposit box. They're
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: not to wear. You know. Some people have made them
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: into chains. They're more of a chain thing than something
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: you wear around, and they're so valuable, like you're just
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: asking for someone to steal the ring at gunpoint when
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: you were there. So they're not designed to be worn anyway.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: So I mean, to me, I get why Jalen Hurts
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: isn't doing it and you press the reset button. That's
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: part of the deal. And so he's also validated one
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: of the things that we've said, there is no such
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: thing as wait for it momentum. Uncle Ma only exists
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: in Jersey. Uncle Mo used to live in Brooklyn, but
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: he moved to Jersey. He's also validated the fact that
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: you don't get rollover minutes. You know, it's like, oh, well,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: you play well and you leave a little extra in
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: the tank. No, no, no, no, you either dominate now or
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: people say you're a has been right, you're a bit irrelevant,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: bit irrelevant? You know, what have you done for me lately?
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: All that stuff and wearing that ring is like carrying
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: a trophy to a job interview. It's like announcing, Hey,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: I'm a douche and here's my trophy. It's a loser move.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: And uh, it was Winston Churchill. I don't know if
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: he's the first one to say it. He repeated it,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: that you don't fight the last war. You don't fight,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: and you don't celebrate as you're fighting another war, the
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: last war when the new war has already started. So

• 22:42
  Speaker 1: one of baseball's top young players has been placed on
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: the trading block? We'll get to that story. I mentioned
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: this earlier. We got to pay this off, so on
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: the lamb. And now this is about Antonio Brown. You
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: might remember Antonio Brown is a face seeing an accusation
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: that he is gonna go to jail for a long time.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: He was convicted of it involving that incident where he
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: claimed he was the victim of a crime and then
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: ended up taking a weapon and firing the weapon and
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: arrest warrant was issued for Antonio Brown not that long ago,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: and it's been over a month now. I believe we
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: are almost at forty days. Last I checked, after the
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: warrant was issued for his arrest in Miami Dade County
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: on charges of attempted murder and Antonio Brown anticipating those charges,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: did what anyone would do, left the country. He's been
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: living aparently. I thought this was like fake, but apparently
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: it's real. Like he's living abroad power and he has relocated.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: He's living in Dubai with his longtime lady friend and
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: their four children. Oh man, how about that? You wake
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: up one day you're Antonio Brown's kid, You're going to
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: school in Miami, and then the next day you're in Dubai.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: How long can this last?
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: The arrest warrant was issued way back June eleventh. Is
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: that incident, that celebrity boxing event in Miami, And the
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: charge was that Brown was involved and so he could
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: have gotten if he had just turned himself in ten
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars bond house arrests supposedly and had his day
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: in court. But he is living in Dubai. Isn't due
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: by very expensive? I've never been Dubai. I don't think
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: I'm moving. It's fancy, yeah, oh I oh, it's fancy
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: and all that, but interesting. He Brown celebrated his thirty
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: seventh birthday earlier this month, a couple of weeks ago
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: on a luxury yacht. And what's the is there a
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: statue to limitations like how many years does Antonio Brown
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: have to stay out? He's thirty seven, now, how many
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: years does he have to stay out of the United States?
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: And then that just goes away? Is there a certain
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: amount of time? I don't know the legal statutes in Florida.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: I would imagine if he stays away, it's not murder
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: like murder. I know there's no statute limitation attempted murder.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Those there are statute of limitations on attempted murder. We'll
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: have to get one of our lawyers to let us
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: know the inside skinny there. So how much money? How
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: much does he have? I thought Antonio Brown lost a
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: lot of his money anyway, Right, we'll see what happens
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: with that. But he's on the lamb, not Ceedee lamb.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: That's somebody else. He's on the lamb doing his thing.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Is the Ben Mahlor Show. As we are doing our thing,
• 25:40

• 29:10
  Speaker 2: What happened to me is too much pressure. And as

  Speaker 2: soon as I'm putting pressure on the rest of the contestant,
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: they poled like chiefs suits and you know, Jay Stoopid,
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: the other guy. They have to cheat and you know

  Speaker 2: Ah?
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Okay, I.
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: Go about to.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: Jed who fled. I'm pressed that Jed has a friend.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: He sounds just like him. I'm amazed.
• 29:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's the only time I've ever heard him interact
• 30:00
  Speaker 6: with another human being.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: It's great. It was like a hidden microphone, candid microphone.
• 30:05
  Speaker 6: You know they have friends.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you think that guy's has messed up as Jed
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: who Fled? You think this is the same same lifestyle
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: out there tweaking in the middle of the night, you know,
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: going around doing their thing in Florida. Yeah, all right,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: isn't that awkward. Jet's out there causing havoc in Florida
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: in the swamp land. And then this other guy's out
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: there also common avoct causing havoc. But Jeed's got to
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: get a call into sports radio. That's a dedicated fan
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: of the show. That is a dedicated fan of the show.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: Is it true? One of the big names, one of
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: the top young players in baseball on the trading block
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: where there are some whispers around baseball here in the
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: nighttime hours. The trade deadline is a week away from today,
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: and uh, Pittsburgh Pirates. Now, it's not who you think
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: it is, but O'Neil Cruz. O'Neil Cruz teams have reached
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: out to the Pirates said we kind of want that guy,
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: O'Neil Cruz. And the Pirates are open for business. They're
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: open for business, and they are eyeing a shortstop and
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: supposedly there's different reports on what they're looking. Who cares,
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: they're the Pirates, but O'Neal Cruz, Now, the Yankees had
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: been mentioned as a possibility for O'Neil Cruse. He's got
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: a lot of good nerd stats. The nerds get they
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: get a little chubby when they see O'Neil Cruz, like
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: his exit velocity and things like that, and they think
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: this is the perfect change of scenery guy that that's
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: the guy that will go to the Yankees or the
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: Red Sox or someone and will just dominate and be
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: a cautionary tale. He's six foot seven, so it doesn't
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: work out. If it doesn't work out in baseball, he
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: can always play small forward in the NBA. He's also
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: under team control through the twenty twenty eight season. He's
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: also been benched multiple times for being a dog and
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: not hustling, which seems to be a bit of a problem,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: and he doesn't make contact very often, which nobody seems
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: to care about it anymore. In fact, he has the
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: lowest batting average of his career this year. He does
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: have thirty one stolen bases, so when he gets on,
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: he'll steal a base and all that. If you want
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: him to properly feel the ball in the outfield, good
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: luck on that. He does seem like a Yankee kind
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: of player because he's a very bad defensive player. He's lazy,
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: but he'll hit home runs. So that doesn't that seem
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: like the modern Yankee player. Keep an eye on that
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: a week away in depth trade coverage. We've got it
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: covered right here. Let's go back to the phone with Luke.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Another Luke. We had a Luke in Boston, and now
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: we have a Luke in Minnesota. It's a big night
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: for Luke's. Hello Luke in Minnesota. Welcome Luke.
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: Well, I consider myself for the better Luke.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: You got a big fan base up in Minnesota.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: Oh, we love Minnesota.
• 32:54
  Speaker 6: Man.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: I did a Malor meet and greet there a couple
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: of years back. It was wonderful. We had a massive turnout.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: We had this place jumping the Mermaid. We were at
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: the Mermaid. You ever been to the Mermaid, Luke, No,
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: I have not. It's like a bar, bowling alley, meeting hall.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: Pretty cool place, pretty cool place in the Mermaid. Not bad.
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: Oh cool, Yeah, I check it out.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: It's pretty neat.
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: Two things.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: Whoa bo okay?
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: Ah?
• 33:25

  Speaker 6: Cooper Loop Tyron Matthew the Honey Badger, announced his retirement
• 39:55
  Speaker 6: on Tuesday, ending a decorated twelve year career since coming
• 39:58
  Speaker 6: out of LSU in twenty thirteen. The question now is
• 40:01
  Speaker 6: was his career good enough to get him a gold jacket?
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: No? No, good career in borderline Hall of Fame. He
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: wasn't All Pro three times. He was part of an
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: All Decade team. He was never Defensive Player of the Year.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: And you can tell the story of football during his
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: career without mentioning his name. He's got a great nickname,
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: but he does not. You look at the numbers and
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: the impact, and he played on a lot of black teams.
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: No next.
• 40:30
  Speaker 6: Warren Moon was recently asked of Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen,
• 40:33
  Speaker 6: and Joe Burrow who he thinks will win a Super
• 40:34
  Speaker 6: Bowl first, and without hesitation, he said Lamar Jackson. He
• 40:38
  Speaker 6: went on to say that it's not because of Jackson
• 40:40
  Speaker 6: being much better than the other two, but because the
• 40:42
  Speaker 6: Ravens have the best team surrounding him.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: Ben.
• 40:44
  Speaker 6: Is he right about that part?
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: Well? The Ravens do have defense. I got a bunch
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: of alpha dudes on defense and all that, but I
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: would still go with Burrow. Burrow plays better in the
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: playoffs and Josh Allen. I put Lamar Jackson third. I
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: put sports with Cole went ahead of Lamar Jackson next.
• 41:01
  Speaker 6: After you get another Dodgers loss. On Tuesday, Dave Roberts said,
• 41:04
  Speaker 6: it'd better be rock bottom. They did win today, but Ben,
• 41:08
  Speaker 6: that was the dodgers eleventh loss in the last fourteen games.
• 41:11
  Speaker 6: Yet they're still in first place. Is it premature to panic?
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: No, they suck, and I'm sick of Dodger fans making excuses.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: They got a bunch of holes in their line. If
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: the bullpen blows and they just are so arrogant over
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: there Dodger Stadium, Like, will be fine, We'll be fun.
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: I don't care. You're losing. You suck. How do we do?
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: You passed?
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: I won?
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: I won Lorena, another win, red blooded American win. Right there,
