- 0:06Speaker 2: to provide a piping hot fresh podcast. Here in hour
- 0:09Speaker 2: number two, how does this Trey Hendrickson holdout end in Cincinnati? Also,
- 0:15Speaker 2: Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford will begin training off the off
- 0:20Speaker 2: to the side. He's got a bad back. Coach Sean
- 0:24Speaker 2: McVeigh told reporters that it's nothing major. So what stands
- 0:29Speaker 2: out about that story? We're in doma con suit. You
- 0:32Speaker 2: remember that player played with the Lions. Well, he went
- 0:35Speaker 2: on a social media tirade ripping Detroit, saying that he
- 0:39Speaker 2: should have been paid more than Matthew Stafford during the
- 0:42Speaker 2: twenty fifteen NFL Free agency. So what intrigues you the
- 0:46Speaker 2: most about that storyline? We'll go there as well. Here
- 0:51Speaker 2: it is our number two, Getting out of town? Now,
- 0:57Speaker 2: getting out of town welca. In the beginning of another
- 1:02Speaker 2: hour of The Ben Mahler Show. We are in the
- 1:06Speaker 2: air everywhere beside one another as we stay up together
- 1:14Speaker 2: fighting the goblins. We are coast to coast, butting the
- 1:18Speaker 2: motor and beyond on the mast end swaggeringly powerful microphones
- 1:24Speaker 2: of FSR emmnating live from the yard working the Graveyard
- 1:30Speaker 2: shift from the Fox Sports Radio Studios as approved by.
- 1:37Speaker 1: Chip and the cues He's always up late with us,
- 1:40Speaker 1: no matter what.
- 1:41Speaker 2: And this portion of the Ben Mallor Show on Fox
- 1:43Speaker 2: made possible in part by our friends at ty Iraq.
- 1:45Speaker 2: For over forty years, tire Iraq has been helping customers
- 1:49Speaker 2: find the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
- 1:53Speaker 2: ship fast and free back by free road hazard protection
- 1:57Speaker 2: with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire ract
- 2:02Speaker 2: dot com the way tire buying should be.
- 2:04Speaker 1: So our lead this hour is from the Natty.
- 2:08Speaker 2: We follow the stories of the day, and many of
- 2:11Speaker 2: the stories are rich football players complaining they're not rich enough.
- 2:16Speaker 2: These are, of course, first world problems, the latest and
- 2:21Speaker 2: this is the soup of the day that would be
- 2:24Speaker 2: in Cincinnati where Bengals pass rush extraordinaire, a beacon of
- 2:31Speaker 2: light in the darkness that is the Bengals defense. Trey
- 2:35Speaker 2: Hendrickson has exited stage right or is it stage left?
- 2:40Speaker 2: Depends which direction he went, But yeah, here's what we know.
- 2:42Speaker 2: If you didn't see this, and perhaps not, we are
- 2:45Speaker 2: told that Hendrickson has relocated from his football home in
- 2:51Speaker 2: Southern Ohio slash Northern Kentucky and gone to Jacksonville, Florida,
- 2:57Speaker 2: not because.
- 2:57Speaker 1: He wants to hang out with Angry Bill.
- 2:59Speaker 2: In Acconville instead, as holdout is beginning, and he said,
- 3:06Speaker 2: bye by, isn't going to be anywhere near the ben
- 3:10Speaker 2: Gals facility. Hendrickson telling that he relocated, telling those the
- 3:15Speaker 2: care that he relocated out of Ohio to the state
- 3:18Speaker 2: of Florida as a means to remove himself from the
- 3:23Speaker 2: area surrounding training camp there for the Bungals and not not.
- 3:30Speaker 1: To be a distraction. So okay, well, that's he's clearly
- 3:33Speaker 1: not attraction. He's not there, so it's that there's no distraction.
- 3:38Speaker 2: Of course, he maybe want to rather be in Florida,
- 3:40Speaker 2: whether it's nice to get the water there and all that.
- 3:43Speaker 2: So let us discuss, okay, let us discuss the question.
- 3:47Speaker 2: How does this Trey Hendrickson holdout end in Cincinnati. So
- 3:53Speaker 2: I've got Chick fil a, Beanie Baby, and kiss and
- 3:59Speaker 2: we will combine all of these things together and we
- 4:02Speaker 2: are going to put the biscuit in the basket, is
- 4:06Speaker 2: what we're going to do. So number, I said, what
- 4:10Speaker 2: number is it? So Trey Hendrickson, looking into my crystal
- 4:16Speaker 2: ball as a distant relative of Nostradamus and friend of Nostradinas,
- 4:19Speaker 2: who used to be an active member, an active member
- 4:23Speaker 2: of the Malam Milsia now is semi retired from day
- 4:25Speaker 2: to day activity in the militia.
- 4:26Speaker 1: It's not for everyone.
- 4:28Speaker 2: So Hendrickson's holdout right now is hotter than the chili
- 4:34Speaker 2: in Cincinnati at a chili cookoff there in Cincinnati, real hot, right,
- 4:39Speaker 2: And so this is not a minor skirmish. See now
- 4:43Speaker 2: we're getting to the part of the story where it
- 4:44Speaker 2: gets good. It's one thing to complain to each other
- 4:47Speaker 2: in the off season, but now training camp is going on,
- 4:50Speaker 2: and Hendrickson is deciding.
- 4:51Speaker 1: I'm going to go full Alamo. I am going now.
- 4:54Speaker 2: He's not in San Antonio, but he's going Alamo there
- 4:57Speaker 2: barricading himself in a compound in my card tune bubble
- 5:01Speaker 2: above my head somewhere in the greater Jacksonville area, and
- 5:05Speaker 2: he's doing that, barricading himself against the Bengals. We know
- 5:10Speaker 2: how the Alamo ended. Did not end well, did not
- 5:13Speaker 2: end well. They don't like to talk about that. I
- 5:15Speaker 2: didn't know that when I watched Peewee Herman back in
- 5:17Speaker 2: the day. But I learned it I died. I also
- 5:19Speaker 2: saw that. I think his bike. I saw it was
- 5:22Speaker 2: going to be immortalized there at the Alamo Peewe's bike
- 5:25Speaker 2: from those old movies. Anyway, listen, here's the back to
- 5:28Speaker 2: the point. So when holding out, and that is what
- 5:31Speaker 2: Hendrickson is doing, he will be racking up fines like
- 5:35Speaker 2: a gambler in Vegas, a high roller who's not doing
- 5:39Speaker 2: very well now. Already he's lost over one hundred thousand
- 5:44Speaker 2: dollars for skipping mini camp to ching to ching t ching.
- 5:48Speaker 2: He's facing fifty thousand dollars a day and millions once
- 5:55Speaker 2: the season begins. Now per game, once the exhibition game start,
- 5:59Speaker 2: his per game penalty will be eight hundred and seventy
- 6:03Speaker 2: seven thousand dollars fines per game. If I lost eight
- 6:10Speaker 2: eight hundred and seventy seven thousand dollars per day of work,
- 6:14Speaker 2: I would need some serious drugs to handle that.
- 6:19Speaker 1: That hurts. I don't care how much money you got.
- 6:21Speaker 1: That hurts.
- 6:22Speaker 2: And so where we are now, as I analyze and
- 6:25Speaker 2: looking into my crystal ball, we are at the part
- 6:30Speaker 2: of the story where it's like Chick fil A. It's
- 6:32Speaker 2: a game of Chicken, What what Chicken? Who's gonna who's
- 6:36Speaker 2: gonna fold? Who's gonna fold? Right now, the big stumbling block,
- 6:41Speaker 2: and I don't believe there's a workaround for Trey Henderson,
- 6:45Speaker 2: is the Bengals front office. The franchise charter of the
- 6:50Speaker 2: Cincinnati football team under Mike Brown and his tutelage is
- 6:54Speaker 2: that they pinch pennies. They pinch pennies so much that
- 7:00Speaker 2: Lincoln starts screaming, that's how tight they pinched their pennies
- 7:04Speaker 2: in Cincinnati. Right, So they charged players for gatorade. We
- 7:08Speaker 2: talked about that. It's a famous Bengals story up until
- 7:11Speaker 2: just a few years ago, and they've already paid a
- 7:14Speaker 2: lot of money.
- 7:14Speaker 1: It is true.
- 7:15Speaker 2: They paid mega mega mega bucks for Joe Burrow and
- 7:19Speaker 2: Jamar Chase and t Higgins two hundred and seventy six
- 7:22Speaker 2: million dollars combined for that offensive trio. That's a lot
- 7:27Speaker 2: for the mom and pop delicatessen there in Cincinnati. Nevertheless,
- 7:31Speaker 2: this is not specifically about the money. Now, it's always
- 7:34Speaker 2: about the money, but this one is not specifically about
- 7:38Speaker 2: the money. What I mean by that, let me put
- 7:40Speaker 2: some clarity on that. It's about the pigheadedness of the Bengals,
- 7:46Speaker 2: the stubbornness of the Bengals who have a refusal, and
- 7:52Speaker 2: they draw a line in the sand there. They will
- 7:54Speaker 2: not give out multi year guarantee. They have a tradition
- 7:58Speaker 2: and much like Jim Manson, it's a tradition unlike any other.
- 8:02Speaker 2: So they will not will not possibly break that. And
- 8:06Speaker 2: that's problematic. Now what's the compromise. What is the commerce?
- 8:09Speaker 2: So the compromise would be what Trey Hendrickson looking for
- 8:13Speaker 2: some kind of endorsement deal from Southwest Airlines. I want
- 8:17Speaker 2: to get away endorsement. He's already out of Florida. And
- 8:22Speaker 2: remember months ago, back in March, we talked about it
- 8:26Speaker 2: on previous episodes of the show. You might remember, you
- 8:31Speaker 2: probably don't, but we talked about it. The Bengals let
- 8:33Speaker 2: Trey Hendrickson shop himself. They let him go to market.
- 8:37Speaker 2: They said, all right, go see what you can get
- 8:39Speaker 2: and see who wants you. And there were teams that
- 8:42Speaker 2: wanted Trey Hendrickson. And there were teams like the Colts
- 8:45Speaker 2: and the Lions and the Packers and some others that
- 8:47Speaker 2: supposedly had some interest in Trey Hendrickson. And so then
- 8:53Speaker 2: the team said, okay, we want this guy, and Hendrickson said, okay,
- 8:56Speaker 2: I found some teams that want me in a trade
- 8:59Speaker 2: and said let's work out a deal. And so the
- 9:02Speaker 2: Bengals are like, okay, we're gonna work out a deal.
- 9:04Speaker 2: We want a first round draft pick, and we'd prefer
- 9:10Speaker 2: it to be a top ten pick in the draft.
- 9:12Speaker 2: We'd like to get that. And everyone that was interested
- 9:15Speaker 2: in Trey Hendrickson suddenly was no longer interested. They suddenly
- 9:18Speaker 2: realized that we're not really uninterested, We're not that into it.
- 9:22Speaker 1: And so that's it.
- 9:24Speaker 2: And so they, you know, they lower the buy now price.
- 9:28Speaker 2: If they go back to market and say I will
- 9:30Speaker 2: lower the buy now price and you can give us
- 9:32Speaker 2: a second round pick and a fifth round pick or
- 9:35Speaker 2: something like.
- 9:36Speaker 1: That, there is a deal there.
- 9:39Speaker 2: And then when that happens, the next thing that happens
- 9:42Speaker 2: I've seen the script is Joe Burrow comes out moaning
- 9:44Speaker 2: and grumbling. Noo, just like that, all right now? Page two,
- 9:49Speaker 2: by request, By request, we go to Los Angeles, where
- 9:54Speaker 2: there have been no games played, there have been really
- 9:57Speaker 2: no practices, and already problems. You see the Rams who
- 10:03Speaker 2: can ram it all day, and ram it all night.
- 10:05Speaker 2: They're starting quarterback, quarterback number one, Matthew Stafford. Well, he's
- 10:12Speaker 2: not going to be practicing. He'll be off to the
- 10:17Speaker 2: side there.
- 10:18Speaker 1: And why oh my aching.
- 10:22Speaker 2: Back, Yeah, coach Sean mcvagh telling reporters that, well, it's
- 10:27Speaker 2: just not good.
- 10:29Speaker 1: His back is cracking.
- 10:31Speaker 2: And McVeigh does not expect that to be a major issue,
- 10:35Speaker 2: he said, likely with a smile on his face. So
- 10:39Speaker 2: what stands out about the fact that Matthew Stafford before
- 10:42Speaker 2: even a practice is already out for the Rams. So
- 10:47Speaker 2: what stands out is the date. We are in the
- 10:50Speaker 2: month of July. We are in the month of July,
- 10:53Speaker 2: and Matthew Stafford is already being baby. And we're not
- 10:57Speaker 2: talking about week six in Baltimore again aainst the Ravens defense.
- 11:01Speaker 2: We are talking about day number one, all right, and
- 11:05Speaker 2: he's already watching from the sidelines like he's in the
- 11:09Speaker 2: VIP tent at Coachella and he's watching practice. So the Rams, now,
- 11:14Speaker 2: they somehow made it through last season, got all the
- 11:17Speaker 2: way to the playoffs, and gave Philadelphia, the team that
- 11:20Speaker 2: would win the championship, their toughest game by far of
- 11:24Speaker 2: anyone in the postseason everyone else was a pushover against
- 11:26Speaker 2: the Eagles except the Rams in a blizzard in Philadelphia.
- 11:31Speaker 2: And yet Stafford was standing for the most part upright
- 11:34Speaker 2: at the end of that even though he had a
- 11:35Speaker 2: lot of stuff that was broken. So the question is
- 11:38Speaker 2: can they do it again? Can the Rams do it
- 11:40Speaker 2: again without Stafford? And right now they're off to a
- 11:42Speaker 2: bad start. Stafford, I'm convinced, is being held together by
- 11:45Speaker 2: Elmer's glue. Nice to love Elmer's glue. When I was
- 11:48Speaker 2: in elementary school, I played with Elmer's glue. I would
- 11:51Speaker 2: put it all over my hands and then peel off
- 11:52Speaker 2: the Elmer's glue, and I was able to kill a
- 11:55Speaker 2: lot of time in the back of the classroom while
- 11:57Speaker 2: the other people were learning. I was playing with glue.
- 12:00Speaker 2: But if you touch Matthew Stafford just a little too hard,
- 12:05Speaker 2: a little bit on the wrong side, he shatters. He
- 12:08Speaker 2: literally shatters, and he's made out of peanut brittle. Now,
- 12:12Speaker 2: I like peanut brittle. I'm a fan of a peanut brittle.
- 12:15Speaker 2: I enjoy the peanut brittle. But you can't have your
- 12:19Speaker 2: quarterback made out of peanut brittle. That's a problem. So
- 12:21Speaker 2: when Sean McVeigh comes out and announces it's not a
- 12:26Speaker 2: major issue, like when Wevey said it's not a major issue.
- 12:30Speaker 2: Let me translate that. I have a translater key here,
- 12:35Speaker 2: a key that I put in the machinery. I twist
- 12:37Speaker 2: the key and then it spits out what McVeagh really means.
- 12:40Speaker 2: He means, we're already panicking, but we have to pretend
- 12:44Speaker 2: publicly like we're not. And we have to keep everything
- 12:47Speaker 2: clean publicly, is what that means. So McVeigh, in order
- 12:51Speaker 2: for this to work with Stafford, he has to keep
- 12:54Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford wrapped in bubble wrap like a collectible Beanie
- 12:59Speaker 2: Baby from the late nineties, like a ninety seven Beanie Baby.
- 13:04Speaker 1: He's got to keep that bad boy wrapped for the
- 13:06Speaker 1: resale market.
- 13:07Speaker 2: And you just know that when October comes around and
- 13:12Speaker 2: the weather, the fall weather's.
- 13:14Speaker 1: Here, well not here, because we're in la the weather.
- 13:16Speaker 2: Doesn't change, but where the leaves start changing, that beautiful
- 13:20Speaker 2: fall weather and there's a little crisp in the air,
- 13:22Speaker 2: and all that stuff in Halloween's around the corner. When
- 13:26Speaker 2: we get to October, Matthew Stafford is going to be
- 13:31Speaker 2: like one of those skeleton costume things that's all broken
- 13:35Speaker 2: at the spirit stores that pop up in October. And
- 13:39Speaker 2: the backup plan, don't worry is Jimmy G. That's right,
- 13:43Speaker 2: Jimmy Garoppolo, who's also made of glass. And now Sean mcgravy.
- 13:48Speaker 2: The great thing about mcvaann, he's proven that he's right
- 13:51Speaker 2: about this. He's got so much hubris. He's oozing with
- 13:55Speaker 2: hubris that he believes he can figure it out. That
- 13:57Speaker 2: he'll just go into a sorcerer's workshop and he'll hold
- 14:01Speaker 2: a meeting with some warlocks and some wizards and he'll
- 14:04Speaker 2: figure things out with Jimmy G. And Jimmy G is
- 14:07Speaker 2: not great and he's some middle aged older quarterback, but
- 14:10Speaker 2: they'll find a way to make it work. And Groppol
- 14:13Speaker 2: even if he's not good at playing quarterback, he's got
- 14:15Speaker 2: a great draw line, really good.
- 14:18Speaker 1: Draw line, and he's been in big games.
- 14:22Speaker 2: Hadn't played well in most of them, but he's been
- 14:23Speaker 2: in big games, and so he gives the rams. Someone
- 14:25Speaker 2: who looks really good holding a clipboard and wearing a
- 14:28Speaker 2: visor on the sidelines. That's what he does, all right now.
- 14:31Speaker 2: Final point to a social media brew ha ha we
- 14:37Speaker 2: go and I got a kick out of this motown
- 14:41Speaker 2: beef Motown beef on display.
- 14:44Speaker 1: And this does tie into Matthew Stafford.
- 14:46Speaker 2: So a boy named Sue in doma Con Sue, who
- 14:50Speaker 2: is on the short list of athletes who have blocked
- 14:52Speaker 2: yours truly because of this show and things I've said
- 14:56Speaker 2: on this show. The thin skin tough guy and dama
- 14:58Speaker 2: Con Sue, who was known for smashing players faces in
- 15:02Speaker 2: on the football field, couldn't handle overnight gas Baggerie. But
- 15:06Speaker 2: nonetheless so and Domoicon Sue went on social media, went
- 15:10Speaker 2: on a tirade ripping the Lions. Now Sue retired from
- 15:14Speaker 2: the NFL. Recently, he took some shots at the Lions,
- 15:17Speaker 2: saying that he, meaning Sue, should have been paid more
- 15:21Speaker 2: than Matthew Stafford during the twenty fifteen NFL free agency.
- 15:26Speaker 2: So what intrigues you the most about this one? So
- 15:32Speaker 2: to me, the thing that stands out like a throbbing,
- 15:35Speaker 2: sore thumb is the utter stupidity of we're talking about
- 15:41Speaker 2: a decade old grudge and it's so ridiculous. It's not
- 15:48Speaker 2: like these guys both didn't make tons of money, and
- 15:52Speaker 2: here's Sue still upset. This has got to be one
- 15:55Speaker 2: of the dumbest things I've heard come out of the
- 15:59Speaker 2: mouth of a grown ass man who was known as
- 16:04Speaker 2: a mean sob while you play right, and Sue said,
- 16:10Speaker 2: I should have been paid more than Matthew Stafford said, what,
- 16:15Speaker 2: So this goes again, this goes back. We're going to
- 16:17Speaker 2: twenty fifteen, the off season of twenty fifteen. So suone,
- 16:21Speaker 2: let me get it straight. So you think a defensive tackle,
- 16:25Speaker 2: a position that often rotates off the field on third down,
- 16:29Speaker 2: and a guy that would get flagged for major penalties
- 16:33Speaker 2: on a regular basis, you believe that player should have
- 16:36Speaker 2: been paid more than the starting quarterback, the face of
- 16:40Speaker 2: the franchise, the only guy in the league who touches
- 16:44Speaker 2: the ball on every single offensive play. That would be
- 16:48Speaker 2: the equivalent of me going to management here and saying, hey, listen,
- 16:53Speaker 2: we have a more diverse audience, We have a more
- 16:55Speaker 2: loyal audience than Colin Coward. You should pay me more.
- 17:00Speaker 1: They don't. They would laugh at.
- 17:01Speaker 2: Me, and then they would they would spit a loogie
- 17:04Speaker 2: right between my eyes, right above my nose, between my eyes,
- 17:07Speaker 2: and I'd walk out. To put it a different way
- 17:10Speaker 2: in musical terms, Sue does not understand. Tell me you
- 17:15Speaker 2: don't understand roster building without telling me. If you think
- 17:18Speaker 2: of the classic rock group Kiss, right, it would be
- 17:21Speaker 2: like they've had They've had a few drummers over the
- 17:25Speaker 2: years with Kiss. But Eric Singer aka Catman the Catman, right,
- 17:29Speaker 2: Eric Singer, if he walked into the record label and
- 17:34Speaker 2: he said, listen, I gotta get more money.
- 17:37Speaker 1: Okay, I got to get more money.
- 17:39Speaker 2: I got to be paid more than Gene Simmons because
- 17:42Speaker 2: I bang the drums louder than he sings, right, And
- 17:46Speaker 2: so they would say what they would say. The record
- 17:50Speaker 2: label would say, don't let the door hit you where
- 17:53Speaker 2: the good Lord split you, is what they now. They
- 17:55Speaker 2: wouldn't spit a loogie. I'd get the lougi but that's
- 17:58Speaker 2: what he would get. And yet here we are. That's
- 18:00Speaker 2: in Domakon Sue on this one. That's what he's doing now,
- 18:03Speaker 2: don't get me wrong. And Dona gun Sue, even though
- 18:06Speaker 2: you had to hear a beef with our show, was
- 18:08Speaker 2: a very dominant, nasty, violent player, and he was like
- 18:12Speaker 2: one of the last guys that played like that. We
- 18:14Speaker 2: have a bunch of whisses playing football relative to that
- 18:16Speaker 2: era and players before, they're softer than ever now. But
- 18:20Speaker 2: that's the way it goes, right, get softers and get
- 18:22Speaker 2: more violent. People can't handle violence. In the NFL went
- 18:26Speaker 2: from a mom and pop business where they sold NFL's
- 18:28Speaker 2: hardest hits and they celebrated that, and they got sued
- 18:32Speaker 2: and they have so much money and they have lawyers involved,
- 18:34Speaker 2: and so they changed everything. And now you can't do that,
- 18:38Speaker 2: and you have to limit practices. And because the players
- 18:40Speaker 2: can't handle the practices and so and Sue was a
- 18:44Speaker 2: problem child on the field and all that stuff. But
- 18:46Speaker 2: regardless of all of that, again, this is about a
- 18:49Speaker 2: beef and Domakon sue ten years later, still complaining that
- 18:52Speaker 2: the Lions paid Matthew Stafford more than him. All right,
- 18:56Speaker 2: And again, quarterbacks, we don't necessary I like them, but
- 19:00Speaker 2: they get paid a lot. They have the ball in
- 19:02Speaker 2: their hands all the time. They're the ones that side
- 19:05Speaker 2: often who wins and loses in defensive tackles. While they
- 19:09Speaker 2: are important, they can also get double teamed and get
- 19:12Speaker 2: taken out of competition. Right, And so there you go.
- 19:17Speaker 2: I will give in domicuns Wu a little extra credit.
- 19:20Speaker 2: It's a little bit for holding on to a grudge.
- 19:25Speaker 2: The bad blood, bad blood, bad blood. What you're gonna
- 19:28Speaker 2: do when the bad blood comes for you. It is
- 19:30Speaker 2: the Ben Mahlor Show. If you would like to be part,

- 19:48Speaker 2: had grand plans for expansion and they were going to
- 19:53Speaker 2: put an expansion team in Vegas. That would have meant
- 19:56Speaker 2: the Athletics had stayed in Northern California. But the A's
- 19:58Speaker 2: are in the they're transitioning, which is very popular these days.
- 20:03Speaker 2: They're moving to Vegas, but they're stopped in Sacramento right now,
- 20:06Speaker 2: so that means there will be no expansion team in Vegas.
- 20:10Speaker 1: So Baseball has been scrambling.
- 20:11Speaker 2: To try to find other markets to put expansion teams in,
- 20:15Speaker 2: and it appears they have set their sites on one
- 20:19Speaker 2: United States city that has not had Major League Baseball
- 20:22Speaker 2: before as a destination situation.
- 20:26Speaker 1: But which one is it? Which city is it?

- 22:42Speaker 1: Oh is that?
- 22:42Speaker 6: And I'm like, I'm in charge. No, I'm in charge.
- 22:46Speaker 6: I know what I'm saying.
- 22:47Speaker 2: I did notice though, that your your new car, Lorena.
- 22:50Speaker 2: That it because you bought it in a different state,
- 22:53Speaker 2: like in California. Like they right away they give you
- 22:56Speaker 2: like the temporary plate, but you don't have you gotten
- 22:59Speaker 2: pulled over because.
- 23:00Speaker 6: Nope, I just have a paper in my back window.
- 23:02Speaker 1: Okay, because usually I was surprised.
- 23:04Speaker 2: I haven't seen that in years, because in California when
- 23:07Speaker 2: they in a lot of other states I've been to,
- 23:08Speaker 2: when you buy a car, you change, they give you
- 23:11Speaker 2: the cheap, ripoff paper plate there.
- 23:13Speaker 6: I don't even know if they can see me like
- 23:14Speaker 6: a bat in the night.
- 23:15Speaker 1: Really, do you have that Limo black? Ten times?
- 23:18Speaker 7: I'm going to You're going to get that right now.
- 23:20Speaker 7: They can still see it when I pick my nose.
- 23:22Speaker 2: Okay, so you can get the Limo black. That's the
- 23:25Speaker 2: that's expensive.
- 23:25Speaker 6: Though, it's not that bad place for three hundred for
- 23:29Speaker 6: the whole car.
- 23:29Speaker 8: Three one.
- 23:31Speaker 6: You know what, now, did.
- 23:32Speaker 7: You say that it might have just been two sets
- 23:34Speaker 7: of windows.
- 23:35Speaker 1: Yeah, you might want to check that. Yeah, because you.
- 23:38Speaker 1: I would think you would want all the windows.
- 23:40Speaker 6: Yeah, and the bat.
- 23:41Speaker 1: Make it like night Writer or something. That's an old reference.
- 23:44Speaker 2: But anyway, it is the Ben Malor Show an expansion surprise.
- 23:48Speaker 2: We'll get to that coming up in a minute. We
- 23:50Speaker 2: began the hour ranting and raving like lunatics here about
- 23:55Speaker 2: the stories of the day, the news of the day,
- 23:57Speaker 2: including Trey Hendrickson going to Florida during his hold out
- 24:01Speaker 2: with the Ben Gals, the la Rams haven't even had
- 24:04Speaker 2: practice yet, and Lardie Matthew Stafford's got.
- 24:06Speaker 1: Oh my aching back.
- 24:08Speaker 2: And then you've got Damaconsu who's retired from the NFL,
- 24:12Speaker 2: but still he's still beefing with the Lions. He's upset
- 24:17Speaker 2: about something that happened ten years ago, which is good.
- 24:19Speaker 2: I like that, you know, Hey, listen, I mean it's
- 24:22Speaker 2: it's amusing to me. It's it is rather dumb though.
- 24:24Speaker 2: He thinks the defensive tackle should get played paid more
- 24:28Speaker 2: than a quarterback.
- 24:29Speaker 1: But hey, let's go to the phones. A fan favorite.
- 24:32Speaker 2: He did not score very well with the judges in
- 24:35Speaker 2: the Malapalooza, but he's back. Tony in the Bay Area.
- 24:39Speaker 9: Hello, Tony, hey man, you were talking about that defensive
- 24:44Speaker 9: player black and David.
- 24:47Speaker 2: Militia. Uh, you know, I've not heard of anyone being
- 24:51Speaker 2: blocked by the Malard militia by Vassay. You know, he's
- 24:56Speaker 2: probably so busy massaging the shoulders of Blake Snell that
- 24:59Speaker 2: he has time to really pay attention to that. So
- 25:02Speaker 2: I don't know. Hey, the Dodgers are so bad right now?
- 25:04Speaker 2: How bad are they? They're so bad. I think that
- 25:07Speaker 2: Tony in the Bay Area is going to be pitching
- 25:09Speaker 2: out of a bullpen this weekend.
- 25:10Speaker 1: I don't know if you're ready, Tony. Can you pitch
- 25:12Speaker 1: out of the bullpen?
- 25:15Speaker 8: Probably not?
- 25:15Speaker 1: But are you? Are you left handed or right handed?
- 25:19Speaker 9: Hey, calm down for a second. So and the Mallard Palooza,
- 25:23Speaker 9: Cammy was mentioning that pos davidss yeah, and I couldn't.
- 25:29Speaker 9: I couldn't understand what she was talking about. She kept saying, well,
- 25:31Speaker 9: I mean, I can't be playing it over and over again.
- 25:34Speaker 9: She said, pos davidss ps David vess That pos basically
- 25:40Speaker 9: it means piece of shit.
- 25:41Speaker 8: Thanks Ben, Okay, thank you.
- 25:44Speaker 7: I'm glad he cleared that up because I wasn't really
- 25:47Speaker 7: sure what it meant.
- 25:49Speaker 2: Yeah, I was, I had forgotten, you know, And I'm
- 25:53Speaker 2: glad that he chose to say that on a terrestrial
- 25:56Speaker 2: radio show that for some why are we.
- 25:59Speaker 1: Not allowed to say that word?
- 26:00Speaker 6: I don't know, it's such as some people twenty.
- 26:02Speaker 2: Twenty five, it's like, you know, it's one of those
- 26:04Speaker 2: things like I feel like, can't we just allow that word?
- 26:09Speaker 2: Even like I say, ask one one thousand and two,
- 26:12Speaker 2: one thousand whole? Can we just use that?
- 26:14Speaker 1: Can we?
- 26:15Speaker 10: Right?
- 26:15Speaker 6: Can we put those two?
- 26:16Speaker 1: What is? What is up with that?
- 26:18Speaker 6: And heard worse?
- 26:18Speaker 2: And the people I work for this company are very paranoid.
- 26:22Speaker 2: And because I've been given the lecture many times since
- 26:26Speaker 2: I've worked here from management, I try to avoid management
- 26:30Speaker 2: at all costs. I try to avoid them. Not that
- 26:32Speaker 2: I hate them, I just try to avoid them because
- 26:35Speaker 2: normally it doesn't end well. So when I deal with management,
- 26:38Speaker 2: they'll give me the lecture. They'll say, Ben, you know
- 26:41Speaker 2: you have a big stage there, which is it's alway.
- 26:44Speaker 2: They'll start with the compliment, right, they do the compliment sandwich,
- 26:48Speaker 2: they say you have a big stage or on you know,
- 26:51Speaker 2: six hundred plus radio stations right now in the middle
- 26:54Speaker 2: of the night. You know, yeah, people would die for
- 26:56Speaker 2: that stage, right, they'd love to tell me that. And
- 26:59Speaker 2: then they say, they said, they don't bring up my
- 27:00Speaker 2: check because they don't want to die for that. But
- 27:02Speaker 2: but anyway, so then they bring up the fact, you know,
- 27:05Speaker 2: we have this thing called the FCC, and depending on
- 27:07Speaker 2: which political parties in charge.
- 27:09Speaker 6: F CC won't let me be Yeah, they won't.
- 27:12Speaker 1: Let you be free.
- 27:13Speaker 2: And so they say that if you say certain words,
- 27:16Speaker 2: even though you are in the safe harbor and we
- 27:19Speaker 2: I am the captain of the safe harbor. Even with that,
- 27:23Speaker 2: they could still technically find every single radio station that
- 27:28Speaker 2: is in the United States, and there's different roles in Canada,
- 27:31Speaker 2: whateverybody in the United States.
- 27:32Speaker 1: Will be fine. For each station would be a violation.
- 27:37Speaker 2: Now, this really hasn't happened since Janet Jackson showed her
- 27:41Speaker 2: boobies at the Super Bowl and my god, I was
- 27:45Speaker 2: working here at the time, and the reaction of the company.
- 27:48Speaker 2: We literally went to a twelve minute delay. It was
- 27:51Speaker 2: like they added so much delay it was it was ridiculous.
- 27:57Speaker 2: And then but then later on, like the FCC allowed
- 28:01Speaker 2: I remember David Ortiz after that terrible Boston Marathon bombing,
- 28:06Speaker 2: he got on the microphone at Finway and said the
- 28:08Speaker 2: F word on Fox and they didn't get in trouble
- 28:11Speaker 2: for it. So uh yeah, anyway, let's go to the
- 28:14Speaker 2: phones again. It's go to Andre, who's in the Commonwealth. Hello, Andre, welcome,
- 28:20Speaker 2: how you doing.
- 28:21Speaker 11: Ben, good to be with you this evening. Me and
- 28:23Speaker 11: Willis are here.
- 28:25Speaker 2: Yeah, we're it's like a rebrit It's like a rebroadcast
- 28:29Speaker 2: of the famous Mallard Paloos act.
- 28:32Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 28:35Speaker 1: Willis is really fired up, man, what do you what
- 28:38Speaker 1: are you doing?
- 28:39Speaker 11: We're talking about mascot there.
- 28:41Speaker 8: Ben.
- 28:41Speaker 11: He wants to be front of the line and Malan
- 28:43Speaker 11: Melissa hounddogs.
- 28:44Speaker 9: Okay, n Willis Okay, he wants.
- 28:47Speaker 11: To be front of the line there. Now, let's desperate
- 28:50Speaker 11: times called for desperate message, right. That's why when David
- 28:52Speaker 11: Artiz got up there after the unfortunate Boston marathon bombing,
- 28:57Speaker 11: he gets up there, you know this says, I'm not
- 28:59Speaker 11: going to go over Ane, ain't gonna do it. Pay
- 29:01Speaker 11: there are up been city.
- 29:02Speaker 8: Okay.
- 29:03Speaker 11: He threw it down, and so Fox desperate Times, you know,
- 29:05Speaker 11: we're gonna just allow that to go. You know, Willis here,
- 29:08Speaker 11: he is a little bit hurt as I am that
- 29:10Speaker 11: we didn't finish the higher in the Mallet Palooza. Nonetheless, Okay,
- 29:14Speaker 11: as I said, sixty eight teams in the NCAA tournament,
- 29:17Speaker 11: only four are going to break through to that final four.
- 29:19Speaker 11: So we're talking about as you know, my grandfather's saying,
- 29:21Speaker 11: I'm talking about high cotton here, Ben, Okay, we're talking
- 29:24Speaker 11: about the best and the best, the claim of the crops.
- 29:26Speaker 11: Next year we're looking to get at least into the
- 29:29Speaker 11: eliting Yeah, if not break through into the final four.
- 29:32Speaker 11: Based on the level of competition. And a shout out
- 29:35Speaker 11: to Jay Scoop on his championship, I would you know,
- 29:38Speaker 11: I don't play ahead.
- 29:38Speaker 9: I congratulate you.
- 29:40Speaker 2: Guys, not just Jay Scoop, but just Josh. That was
- 29:44Speaker 2: it was a combo performance. There are two people teaming up.
- 29:47Speaker 2: Is there anyone in the mal the militia that you
- 29:49Speaker 2: think you could team up with?
- 29:50Speaker 1: Here?
- 29:51Speaker 2: Andre, now you have Willis, that's true, you got Willis there.
- 29:54Speaker 2: But if you were to team up with another caller
- 29:58Speaker 2: and you guys could form Voltron and watch out.
- 30:02Speaker 11: You know, Steve Alkon, you speak my language almost like
- 30:05Speaker 11: the autobus. Then you bring that point up. It is
- 30:08Speaker 11: a point of fact that Mike the Leprechaon guy. He
- 30:12Speaker 11: is on the Capean Islands right now. He's on the
- 30:15Speaker 11: caper down and he's actually I don't want to give
- 30:17Speaker 11: a specific whereabouts, but he's not too far from where
- 30:19Speaker 11: I'm at. I'm checking my Twitter and you, Mike, the
- 30:22Speaker 11: Leprecaun guy came here to tourist town. We're so fortunate
- 30:25Speaker 11: and glad. We we love the tourists that come to
- 30:26Speaker 11: visit us during this season where we're ready to share
- 30:29Speaker 11: and just enjoy the international community.
- 30:31Speaker 2: Is he at a high end hotel or is he
- 30:33Speaker 2: a fleabag hotel? There's no fleabag hotels out there?
- 30:35Speaker 1: Are there?
- 30:36Speaker 2: There's a nice hotel, there's no crappy hotels out there?
- 30:39Speaker 11: Well, yeah, there's always going to be a variety. What's
- 30:41Speaker 11: happening kind of like everywhere else. You know, when the
- 30:43Speaker 11: hotel kind of falls on tough times and they're looking
- 30:45Speaker 11: for everything's going to affordable housing.
- 30:48Speaker 2: So they have bugs, well they might you never know,
- 30:52Speaker 2: they might have bed bugs because he had become homeless.
- 30:55Speaker 1: Shelters. That's a lot of the that's what happens.
- 30:58Speaker 11: But I hear you, but the corporations have taken over
- 31:02Speaker 11: a lot and then some of the mom and pop
- 31:04Speaker 11: shots when they mom and pop hotels, when they pass hands,
- 31:07Speaker 11: the kids don't want to do it, you know, they
- 31:09Speaker 11: sell it off, and a lot of that, you know,
- 31:11Speaker 11: we're talking about housing or all the rest of that stuff.
- 31:15Speaker 11: So michael leprecn gud would be if we could possibly
- 31:18Speaker 11: do like an autobox type of thing, shout out to Transformers,
- 31:21Speaker 11: you know, and kind of unified, right right, and we're
- 31:26Speaker 11: gonna go get get those Decepticons and we're gonna make

- 32:56Speaker 8: you've had with you come and go that you worked with.
- 32:58Speaker 8: But anyways, it's still good.
- 33:00Speaker 2: There have been many over the years that have vanished,
- 33:03Speaker 2: and unfortunately that's the way of the world.
- 33:07Speaker 8: I remember back even in your days when you were
- 33:09Speaker 8: heavier before you lost all that weight. I'm glad to
- 33:12Speaker 8: know that you know, you lost weight and you're much
- 33:14Speaker 8: healthier now. I don't know if you remember, but you

- 34:02Speaker 8: about the Dominkanco and I do want to say, I
- 34:06Speaker 8: do agree with you quickly everything you said. But one
- 34:11Speaker 8: thing you have to say, you have to be careful about.
- 34:13Speaker 8: You use the comparison of a dominicanzoo and the and
- 34:17Speaker 8: then the position of a quarterback instead of person to

- 36:39Speaker 3: This is one big Ben gets grailed.
- 36:42Speaker 1: Here we go. Cool.
- 36:44Speaker 10: So the Titans are in the market for a quarterback.
- 36:47Speaker 10: Number one overall pick. Cam Ward will certainly start, but
- 36:49Speaker 10: with Will Levis out for the season, the backup plan
- 36:52Speaker 10: is very murky. Yeah, Ben, who do you think the
- 36:54Speaker 10: Titans should go to to fill their voy to quarterback?
- 36:57Speaker 2: They gotta find a guy in the Canadian Football League, coop.
- 37:00Speaker 2: The top available free agent quarterbacks right now are Carson Wentz,
- 37:04Speaker 2: Okay and CJ.
- 37:06Speaker 1: Bethard.
- 37:07Speaker 2: Those are the top available unless they want to take
- 37:09Speaker 2: Teddy Bridgewater from that high school in Miami where he's
- 37:13Speaker 2: apparently coaching, but he got suspended. But that's pretty much it,
- 37:16Speaker 2: like of people we've heard of. I think Tyler Huntley
- 37:20Speaker 2: might be on side also, but there's not a lot there,
- 37:24Speaker 2: so they're pretty much screwed at this point.
- 37:27Speaker 10: Next, former safety and current analyst Ryan Clarks that on
- 37:30Speaker 10: TV Monday that the team with the most pressure to
- 37:32Speaker 10: reach the Super Bowl this season is the Baltimore Ravens.
- 37:35Speaker 2: Is he right, No, it's got to be Buffalo. Buffalo
- 37:38Speaker 2: has been teetering on the brink, as have the Ravens.
- 37:42Speaker 2: The Bills, though, if they don't get it done, and
- 37:45Speaker 2: you got Belichick out there that wants to go back
- 37:47Speaker 2: to the NFL.
- 37:48Speaker 1: If Belichick does.
- 37:49Speaker 2: Well at North Carolina, that's a natural fit Belichick to Buffalo.
- 37:54Speaker 2: So the McDermott's toast, if the Bills don't get to
- 37:57Speaker 2: the Super bowls should be fired this year if they
- 37:58Speaker 2: don't get the super Bowl.
- 37:59Speaker 1: So I'm going Buffalo next.
- 38:01Speaker 10: Former GM Mike Tannebaum is coming with the hot takes again. Yeah,
- 38:05Speaker 10: this time saying that Jordan Love will win MVP this
- 38:07Speaker 10: upcoming season.
- 38:08Speaker 1: That's good, that's funny.
- 38:09Speaker 4: Ben.
- 38:09Speaker 1: Let's hear your hot take.
- 38:10Speaker 6: Give us a dark horse MVP.
- 38:12Speaker 2: Is he gonna win the MVP for like the top
- 38:14Speaker 2: the cheese, like some cheese brand in Wisconsin will name
- 38:17Speaker 2: him as the MVP. I'm gonna go. Joe Burrow is
- 38:20Speaker 2: my MVP. Joe Burrow, all right, there it is mallardly
- 38:25Speaker 2: third of you. How do we do he passes?
- 38:27Speaker 1: There?
- 38:27Speaker 2: It is?
- 38:28Speaker 1: That's a win. Put her on the board. Another win,
- 38:31Speaker 1: the All Time Wins Game,
