0:46
Speaker 1: right now here. It is our number two. Unable to
0:51
Speaker 1: leave the nest. Welcome In the beginning of another hour
0:57
Speaker 1: of the Ben Malor Show. We are in the air everywhere,
1:03
Speaker 1: just ordinary people as we've got that magic carpet ride
1:08
Speaker 1: coast to coast, border to border and beyond on the mast.
1:13
Speaker 1: Splashly powerful microphones of fs are emminating live from the circus,
1:20
Speaker 1: the Overnight chick Chat Circus, the Fox Sports Radio studios
1:26
Speaker 1: as approved by the Green Bay gobbler, who knows that
1:30
Speaker 1: this portion of the Ben Malor Show may possible impart
1:34
Speaker 1: by our friends at tire Rack. That's right. For over
1:37
Speaker 1: forty years, it's a long time, Alf tells me. That's
1:40
Speaker 1: a long time. Tire Rack has been helping customers find
1:42
Speaker 1: the right tires for how, what and where they drive
1:46
Speaker 1: fast and free back by free road hazard protection, with
1:49
Speaker 1: convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire rack dot Com,
1:55
Speaker 1: the Watire Buying Show. So our lead this hour is
2:01
Speaker 1: from the A. T L. The atl The dirty birds
2:07
Speaker 1: aren't doing a damn thing. They're not They're not having
2:10
Speaker 1: If you saw this you might know where I'm going
2:11
Speaker 1: with it. Maybe not. You know, I love talking Atlanta
2:15
Speaker 1: Falcon football. Are we not on the pulse of the people.
2:19
Speaker 1: Don't answer that we have a trade rumor update, a
2:22
Speaker 1: trade rumor update. The word on the street. The word
2:27
Speaker 1: on the street is that the Falcons have been desperately
2:30
Speaker 1: trying to trade quarterback Kirk cousins Or. They got him
2:35
Speaker 1: last offseason. They were all excited about that, and then
2:37
Speaker 1: they drafted another quarterback, so they've been trying to get
2:40
Speaker 1: rid of him and now the quarterback market is bone dry.
2:44
Speaker 1: According to the latest reporting, Atlanta was eager to say
2:49
Speaker 1: bye bye to Cousins and until they weren't, and then
2:53
Speaker 1: turned out they didn't really want to eat the big
2:58
Speaker 1: portion of the contract that would been required. They didn't
3:01
Speaker 1: enough barbecue sauce in Atlanta to do that. And so
3:04
Speaker 1: now the quarterback carousel has begun. Cousins is left searching
3:10
Speaker 1: for a ride. He's I want on the carousel, and
3:13
Speaker 1: the horse is not there. In fact, very odd that
3:17
Speaker 1: a horse on a carousel would leave the barn, but
3:19
Speaker 1: that appears to be what happened here. And so supposedly
3:23
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh was the last best shot for Kirk Cousins until
3:29
Speaker 1: Aaron Rogers knocked on the door and they opened the door.
3:33
Speaker 1: And that's it. So long story short, three words. Nobody
3:39
Speaker 1: wants him. Nobody wants him. So let us discuss the
3:44
Speaker 1: question stuck in Atlanta. What is the forecast? What is
3:50
Speaker 1: the forecast for Kirk Cousins's NFL future at this moment?
3:54
Speaker 1: Two day? So I've got tumbleweeds, advanced degree, and dandy
4:00
Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
4:05
Speaker 1: we are going to make some twisted pizza dough is
4:09
Speaker 1: what we're going to make. So number on the forecast.
4:14
Speaker 1: And we're never wrong about these things because we have
4:17
Speaker 1: the power of the bully pulpit, the power of the microphone,
4:19
Speaker 1: the power of the headphones, the tools of ignorance. So
4:23
Speaker 1: the forecast for Kirk Cousins, NFL future looking at the
4:26
Speaker 1: long term weather modules right, looking at all the models
4:30
Speaker 1: and modules and all that stuff. The Doppler radar left
4:34
Speaker 1: behind by Roberto who quit radio to live his dream
4:37
Speaker 1: as a bus driver. So the Doppler radar shows here
4:43
Speaker 1: that the Falcons are experiencing what's known as climate whiplash.
4:48
Speaker 1: It's a relatively new term climate whiplash, but rapid shift
4:52
Speaker 1: between posing weather extremes, opposing weather extremes from a flooding
4:59
Speaker 1: to drought from flooding tought drought trout. So we are
5:03
Speaker 1: talking about a desolate desert devoid of any precipitation, a
5:08
Speaker 1: desolate desert devoid of any precipitation, and a market that
5:14
Speaker 1: is the only thing there you can see moving around
5:16
Speaker 1: is tumbleweeds. It's a lot of tumbleweeds blowing around. That's
5:20
Speaker 1: an invasive speechies that came to America from Russia and
5:24
Speaker 1: stuck there as Cousins on the dance floor. Now he
5:27
Speaker 1: is on the dance floor, that's the good news. He's
5:29
Speaker 1: doing the dance move, the limbo, how low can you go?
5:33
Speaker 1: How low can you go? And no trades. Really, what
5:37
Speaker 1: he's waiting for is breakfast. Kirk Cousins is waiting for
5:41
Speaker 1: breakfast because he knows at one point in the upcoming
5:44
Speaker 1: month and then the next two months actually, because you
5:47
Speaker 1: know we're doing the show in early June and you've
5:50
Speaker 1: got the rest of this month and then most of
5:52
Speaker 1: July before training camp opens up. Somewhere between now an
5:56
Speaker 1: early part of training camp, a quarterback in the NFL,
6:00
Speaker 1: a starting quarterback will go out and have a big
6:02
Speaker 1: bowl of rice crispies and they'll have a little milk,
6:05
Speaker 1: and then they'll take the spoon and they'll put the
6:07
Speaker 1: spoon in and then they'll have snap, crackle, pop. And
6:10
Speaker 1: at that point, when you have the snap, crackle and pop,
6:13
Speaker 1: that means you need another quarterback. Now. Is that Mahomes
6:16
Speaker 1: hurting his ankle? Is that Josh Allen going a little
6:19
Speaker 1: too heavy on his honeymoon and having a groin injury.
6:23
Speaker 1: I don't know. Is that Lamar Jackson having a knee problem.
6:26
Speaker 1: Who knows, but Boom goes to Dynamite and that is
6:31
Speaker 1: when the portal will open up again for Kirk Cousins.
6:34
Speaker 1: And the Saints are the only team, the only one
6:38
Speaker 1: that does not have a quarterback in the NFL. They're
6:40
Speaker 1: not even trying. The fact that they're not even trying
6:43
Speaker 1: in Ormans would lead you to believe that they're just
6:45
Speaker 1: tanking and they're one of the teams is going to
6:46
Speaker 1: try to get arch Manning for marketing reasons and do
6:50
Speaker 1: the whole Manning family connection thing and all that stuff.
6:53
Speaker 1: And so that's it. Now Atlanta does have to act
6:56
Speaker 1: relatively fast. And the reason they have to act relatively
6:59
Speaker 1: fast because they're banking on Raheem Morris, who somehow has
7:03
Speaker 1: a head coaching job in the NFL game. Raheem Morris
7:06
Speaker 1: and the Falcons are banking on the second year jumpany
7:10
Speaker 1: jump for Michael Pennex junior, that he's gonna jump on
7:16
Speaker 1: a trampoline and to the moon to the moon, to
7:19
Speaker 1: the moon, to the moon. And so you gotta clear
7:21
Speaker 1: the runway, gotta get rid of the things on the room.
7:24
Speaker 1: Lane Cousins right now is some debris. That's clearing the
7:29
Speaker 1: possible takeoff of Michael Pennock Junior. Now page two, we
7:32
Speaker 1: did have a pending pending roster move over the weekend.
7:38
Speaker 1: What is the pending roster move? Nick Chubb a lob
7:42
Speaker 1: blub formerly known as Nick Chubb. Nick Chubb, a love lob,
7:47
Speaker 1: the former I say, former Cleveland Browns running back coming
7:51
Speaker 1: off back to back seasons with massive career altering injuries. Well,
7:57
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb has reportedly agreed to a deal with a
7:59
Speaker 1: new team. He is taking his talents to the Texans,
8:04
Speaker 1: pending a physical. That's a big pending a physical addendum,
8:09
Speaker 1: So are you giving this move a thumbs up or
8:14
Speaker 1: a thumbs down? Nick Chubb going to Houston after a
8:18
Speaker 1: thorough review, a minute long, minutes long deliberation, with our
8:24
Speaker 1: copious amounts of research, we are giving this a full
8:27
Speaker 1: thumbs up. Now, not two thumbs up, but one full
8:29
Speaker 1: solid thumbs up, the thumb standing high and proud. It
8:34
Speaker 1: is smart football. It is smart football because it's it's
8:37
Speaker 1: a short term deal. It's a power play, power play
8:41
Speaker 1: by the Texas. So Houston is not betting the family jewels. Right,
8:47
Speaker 1: that's a one year low risk if the reports are
8:49
Speaker 1: Accurate's one year, low risk contract. It's a flyer. You know,
8:54
Speaker 1: when you park your car and at like a sporting
8:56
Speaker 1: event or a concert and you come out, there's a
8:59
Speaker 1: flyer on the shield wiper. That's all. This is the flyer.
9:03
Speaker 1: And I put that out. Maybe one out of two
9:05
Speaker 1: thousand people will actually buy the product. But you're just
9:08
Speaker 1: doing that right. He's he's a guy who was on
9:13
Speaker 1: a dog Food Cleveland team, a spark plug. Nick Chubb
9:18
Speaker 1: so went healthy and that is a massive, massive win.
9:24
Speaker 1: That's ay. Ifs and butts were candy and nuts, you'd
9:27
Speaker 1: celebrate every day, but you don't. Right. And when he's right,
9:30
Speaker 1: he's got the breakaway ability, or had the breakaway ability
9:35
Speaker 1: of a top five running back in the NFL. Explosive
9:39
Speaker 1: efficient powerful, a nightmare for opposing defensive players here. And
9:45
Speaker 1: the problem is his doppelganger has been Humpty dumpty. And
9:49
Speaker 1: when you're doppelganger is Humpty dumpty, it does not go well. Right.
9:54
Speaker 1: Forget the spaghetti and meatballs because he left the spaghetti out.
9:57
Speaker 1: What Nick Chubb has been doing the last couple of
9:59
Speaker 1: year is adding meat ball surgery after meat ball surgery
10:05
Speaker 1: he's twenty nine. And Chubb has not played a full
10:10
Speaker 1: game since what Week fourteen the last season, and then
10:13
Speaker 1: the year before he got hurt and I think it
10:15
Speaker 1: was a week two. I believe it was week two
10:17
Speaker 1: of the regular season. So it's been a while since
10:19
Speaker 1: he played all the games. And he's a crash test dummy,
10:24
Speaker 1: is what he is. And so he's got he had
10:25
Speaker 1: the sprained ankle, and he had the ligament messed up
10:30
Speaker 1: in his knee and is a complete just everything was shredded,
10:34
Speaker 1: shred tred, shred tred, shred tred red. And so he
10:37
Speaker 1: had the heel, the ACL that was the bugaboo, and
10:42
Speaker 1: then he had the broken foot this past season, and
10:47
Speaker 1: now he is I understand it if he does pass
10:50
Speaker 1: the physical, which is very hard not to pass if
10:52
Speaker 1: the team wants you, it's very hard not to pass
10:54
Speaker 1: the physical. And they brought Chubb in and so I
10:57
Speaker 1: would assume Houston wants him. While would they do that,
11:00
Speaker 1: They could just you know, go out and sign mister
11:02
Speaker 1: Irrigation to play running back, but anyway, nonetheless, so Nick
11:05
Speaker 1: Chobb will not be asked to be the bell cow back.
11:08
Speaker 1: It's going to be an ensemble backfield because you're gonna
11:11
Speaker 1: have Nick Chobb back there and Joe Mixing. So that's
11:14
Speaker 1: the one two punch, which means Nick Chubb would be
11:18
Speaker 1: what he would be the goal line, goal line kind
11:23
Speaker 1: of closer. That type of running back does not have
11:27
Speaker 1: to be Superman and leap tall buildings in a single
11:31
Speaker 1: you know what. And as Larry David will say, that
11:33
Speaker 1: would be pretty pretty good if you can mix and
11:36
Speaker 1: match and intertwine Joe Mixing and Nick Chubb, right, and
11:41
Speaker 1: if you're getting seventy or eighty percent of what Nick
11:43
Speaker 1: Chubb had been back in the day, Okay, as a
11:47
Speaker 1: part time player, that's not a bad situation, being all
11:50
Speaker 1: right now. Final points, speaking of disheveled running backs. Disheveled
11:55
Speaker 1: running backs dateline Buffalo store that has been percolating over
12:00
Speaker 1: the last couple of days in upstate New York. The
12:05
Speaker 1: team that fancies themselves a Super Bowl contender but always
12:08
Speaker 1: finds a way to screw things up in the playoffs,
12:11
Speaker 1: The Buffalo Bills. James Cook, the leader running back in Buffalo.
12:17
Speaker 1: James Cook, Let's just say that he is not planning
12:20
Speaker 1: on showing up to Buffalo. He wants nothing to do
12:26
Speaker 1: with Buffalo. He wants no part of that city or
12:30
Speaker 1: that region at all. The Bills running back and not
12:35
Speaker 1: close to a new deal. In fact, the team's pretty
12:37
Speaker 1: much said, we're not giving you a new deal. And
12:40
Speaker 1: he has put his house on the market. That was
12:45
Speaker 1: originally an internet rumor. Apparently it's been confirmed and has
12:49
Speaker 1: some recent commentary that he's already looking around for his
12:53
Speaker 1: new team and all that stuff. So what does all
12:56
Speaker 1: this tell you? Doesn't hit you right in the schnaz
13:00
Speaker 1: What does this tell you? So it tells me everything
13:03
Speaker 1: I need to know. The classic tune from a different
13:07
Speaker 1: era in the NFL, bringing Dandy Dawn, Don Meredith, turn
13:11
Speaker 1: out the lots, the parties over a sealiler. It's business.
13:17
Speaker 1: It's more than that though, it's not just business personal right,
13:20
Speaker 1: this person Cook is cooked. He is cooked in a
13:25
Speaker 1: Bill's uniform.
13:26
Speaker 2: He gon.
13:27
Speaker 1: He is mentally checked out. And once a player has
13:30
Speaker 1: mentally checked out, that's it. Go to HR fill out
13:35
Speaker 1: the paperwork. You're done, you're done. You're disconnected. He is
13:40
Speaker 1: disconnected from the organization. And James Cook is not just
13:45
Speaker 1: skipping workouts, said, well, who cares, it's June. He's not
13:49
Speaker 1: just skipping workouts. He's essentially skipping zip codes. He's like,
13:53
Speaker 1: I'm out, and you don't list your house for sale
13:56
Speaker 1: like that. Remember Tom Brady before he left the Patriots,
14:00
Speaker 1: he put his house on the market and there were
14:03
Speaker 1: people like, well, that doesn't mean anything.
14:04
Speaker 2: I was.
14:07
Speaker 1: Generally, it's a pain of the asked to move, even
14:10
Speaker 1: when you're rich. I know, when you're rich, you can
14:12
Speaker 1: have a bunch of people move your crap. But it's
14:14
Speaker 1: still a pain in the butt to take everything in
14:17
Speaker 1: your DMV, your driver's license address, change everything has to
14:22
Speaker 1: be changed. It's a pain in the butt. So you
14:25
Speaker 1: only do that when you have to do it right.
14:27
Speaker 1: And so the fact that James Cook is proactively getting
14:31
Speaker 1: rid of where he lives, that is a dead giveaway.
14:36
Speaker 1: You've got a contract squabble. The team's pretty much said
14:38
Speaker 1: you're not that important, and really that's what that that
14:42
Speaker 1: this gets down to you. James Cook put up solid
14:44
Speaker 1: numbers in Buffalo last year. Is a yin to the
14:47
Speaker 1: yang into the yang of Josh Allen. And this is
14:52
Speaker 1: not Hey, I just want a little more money or
14:54
Speaker 1: a couple of bonuses tossed into the contract. This is
14:57
Speaker 1: not that it's more than that right. This is say
15:00
Speaker 1: James Cook. Bird is the word. He's given the bird
15:05
Speaker 1: to the organization, and he's already thinking about where do
15:08
Speaker 1: I want to be in September? Do I want to
15:10
Speaker 1: be Miami? Do I want to be? Where do I
15:12
Speaker 1: want to be a Chargers? Where would I like to go?
15:14
Speaker 1: Pick your team? Mary? Not in Buffalo, not in Bubble,
15:18
Speaker 1: somewhere else. He would like to be somewhere else. He's
15:20
Speaker 1: ghosting New York And it's kind of like, go back
15:24
Speaker 1: to the pandemic a couple of years back, and many
15:28
Speaker 1: of us found out whether we were essential employees or
15:32
Speaker 1: non essential employees, Like, for example, you would think overnight
15:35
Speaker 1: talk radio not essential. I found out during the pandemic
15:39
Speaker 1: very essential. In fact, they gave us cards if they
15:43
Speaker 1: had martial law, which I maybe they'll have here in
15:46
Speaker 1: LA with what's going on these days, but they gave
15:48
Speaker 1: us a card. We're allowed to work because the people
15:51
Speaker 1: need sports takes no matter what. So we are essential
15:54
Speaker 1: employees doing overnight talk radio. But if you're a running
15:57
Speaker 1: back for the Buffalo Bills, you are non essential. You
16:00
Speaker 1: are non essential. You are not part of the critical
16:04
Speaker 1: infrastructure that is that football team. Clearly and I don't
16:07
Speaker 1: disagree with that by the Bills front office. He's not
16:12
Speaker 1: a one percent running back. James Cook, he had a
16:15
Speaker 1: nice year. But you can find somebody else. Find Josh
16:19
Speaker 1: Allen will open things up and you have a decent
16:22
Speaker 1: offensive line, you'll figure it out. It is the Ben
16:25

Speaker 1: the pandemic, US newspaper carriers were essential. We worked every day. Still, yeah,
18:54
Speaker 1: I agree. If I was fascinated when I had the

Speaker 1: they need their sports takes. I said, absolutely, listen, this
19:07
Speaker 1: country cannot go on without hot sports takes overnight. Sports
19:11
Speaker 1: talk radio is very important. And the United States government
19:15
Speaker 1: agreed with that. The people would rampage in the street. Yes, clearly,
19:19
Speaker 1: and so that is why we are here. Chip and
19:23
Speaker 1: the Q's rights and says hey plus on the mall
19:24
Speaker 1: of monologue, anyone who knows about the Steelers organization knew
19:28
Speaker 1: there was no chance Pittsburgh would both give up assets
19:31
Speaker 1: and take on cousins bloated contract. Oh they didn't do it,
19:36
Speaker 1: and I remember a conversation this guy used to call
19:38
Speaker 1: a show angry Bill. I don't know what happened to him,
19:40
Speaker 1: but Angry Bill used to call me, Oh, there's no
19:42
Speaker 1: way Aaron Rodgers is going to Pittsburgh. Why are you
19:45
Speaker 1: wasting your time on this blah blah blah blah blah
19:47
Speaker 1: blah blah. Huh Right, I'm sure he'll be calling up
19:50
Speaker 1: to apologize any minute. Now. Who's your bills? Completely hammered
19:55
Speaker 1: as he listens to the show and is making random
19:59
Speaker 1: comments about Jack Peterson and other baseball players. Eugene in
20:04
Speaker 1: Chitkago is up with this in the Windy City, He says, Ben,
20:07
Speaker 1: someone on your radio show never heard the Ben Mallar
20:12
Speaker 1: Ben Maler jingle. I think it's about time they hear
20:15
Speaker 1: the fan made Mallard jingle. H I love the jingle,
20:20
Speaker 1: but you know, we changed board ops and people don't
20:22
Speaker 1: know the old drops and stuff. I think Danny plays that.
20:25
Speaker 1: Danny g on the Fifth Hour podcast, so he'll he's
20:28
Speaker 1: got a lot of the old drops that he'll play there.
20:29
Speaker 1: But there, the jingles were great. I loved the jingles
20:31
Speaker 1: and it was a fun, fun period on the show.
20:34
Speaker 1: We had some good times with those jingles. Jordan Wrights
20:36
Speaker 1: and says the Browns have five quarterbacks, but none of
20:39
Speaker 1: them are NFL quarterbacks. Kirk Cousins will be a Cleveland
20:43
Speaker 1: Brown by November first. This is not a prediction. This
20:48
Speaker 1: is what will be happening. Period. Stop from Jordan. Well,
20:53
Speaker 1: if Jordan said he this guy's never been wrong about
20:56
Speaker 1: a Kirk Cousins room now, not when Kirk Cousins was
20:59
Speaker 1: spotted at a Chipotle in Northern Ohio. Nobody's going to
21:03
Speaker 1: Northern Ohio on vacation in like May or May I
21:07
Speaker 1: think about in April. No one's going there unless they're
21:10
Speaker 1: planning on playing for the Browns. But it didn't work out.
21:12
Speaker 1: Matt Jack Wrights inceans, am I being too much of
21:14
Speaker 1: a Dodger? Homer picking Otani over Schwarber at d H
21:19
Speaker 1: Freeman over Alonso at first base? In Mooki over Ela
21:26
Speaker 1: Ellie at shortstop for the All Star Game? You do you,
21:31
Speaker 1: Matt Jack? You do? You? Just make sure there's no
21:34
Speaker 1: hanging chads on your computer. Make sure there's none. All right,
21:37
Speaker 1: we'll go to the phones and Meenie money. Let's go
21:40
Speaker 1: to Andre who's in the Commonwealth. Hello, Andre, Welcome, how.
21:45
Speaker 3: You doing Ben, Thanks for taking a call. Listen.
21:48
Speaker 4: Of course, there.
21:48
Speaker 3: Would be mayhem in the streets if we didn't have
21:51
Speaker 3: the mal and militia, Okay, in a pandemic or in
21:54
Speaker 3: times of peace and security. It's clear, you know, the
21:58
Speaker 3: United States government is obviously aware of the impact the
22:02
Speaker 3: late night radio specifically Big Ben and the Mala militia
22:05
Speaker 3: have on the people of the East United States. So
22:08
Speaker 3: that's not in question. Also, I was guaranteed a cookie
22:13
Speaker 3: early on in the show being an NBA hardo Okay,
22:16
Speaker 3: because I'm tuning into this NBA Finals. I'm locked in
22:19
Speaker 3: for Indiana, Okay, So you don't give me this small
22:21
Speaker 3: market talk. Okay, we we we need first of all,
22:25
Speaker 3: in Indiana, you want to talk about that state of
22:27
Speaker 3: basketball craze state, you know. So they're locked in. Okay,
22:30
Speaker 3: they packed the stadium, fifty thousand people show up for
22:32
Speaker 3: a high school basketball game. So we know that Indiana
22:35
Speaker 3: is locked in for this finals. And if you're in
22:37
Speaker 3: the Midwest, you know, it's good. You know, if you're
22:39
Speaker 3: in Middle America, Okay, the bread basket, Oklahoma, this is
22:43
Speaker 3: this is big news. Okay.
22:45
Speaker 1: So this final Oklahoma. Is that this is not the
22:47
Speaker 1: bread basket. Think it's the bread basket.
22:50
Speaker 4: It's what the home there at Iowa? What do you Iowa?
22:55
Speaker 1: Iowa? The bread bag on the Oklahoma is the bread basket?
22:59
Speaker 1: Where'd you hear that?
23:00
Speaker 3: It's got the bread basket conversation? But it's in it's
23:02
Speaker 3: the same. It's in the proximity. You know, if you
23:04
Speaker 3: build it, they will come, all right, you know. So
23:06
Speaker 3: it sits out there, and you know the mids, you know,
23:09
Speaker 3: the Heartland. Can I say Harley Heartland?
23:10
Speaker 1: You can say, I guess you could say the Heartland.
23:13
Speaker 1: Let's see here the bread basket. Maybe you're right, I
23:17
Speaker 1: don't I never thought of Oklahoma as the bread basket.
23:20
Speaker 5: Bread basket of America generally refers to Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio.
23:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Great but Oklahoma's parts of all ten states
23:32
Speaker 1: sit within the Great Plants, so it's in the Great Plains.
23:35
Speaker 1: So you've got North Dakota, South Dakota, Kansas, Nebraska, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Wyoming, Texas, Montana,
23:42
Speaker 1: and that's a lot New Mexico there you go. Yeah,
23:46
Speaker 1: I don't think of it the bread basket the official Great.
23:49
Speaker 1: How about this the official Great Plains Region of North
23:52
Speaker 1: America also encompasses three provinces of Canada, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta.
24:00
Speaker 3: With that, bet, you're educating an educator here, I got
24:04
Speaker 3: to incorporate. I just knew it was close to where
24:07
Speaker 3: they made fills the dreams. I didn't know all this
24:09
Speaker 3: extra stuff. Now, I got to step up my curriculum, okay,
24:12
Speaker 3: and one based on what I'm learning tonight from the
24:14
Speaker 3: malin Militia. So so, but you know they're they're they're
24:17
Speaker 3: they're fired up. Okay, and so I again, we go
24:20
Speaker 3: through these narratives and needed the star every every finals
24:25
Speaker 3: can't be Lakers versus Celtics, okay. And of course I
24:27
Speaker 3: would have liked to see my New York Knicks under
24:29
Speaker 3: the caple leadership of Tom Thibodeau. Okay, who's been railroaded.
24:33
Speaker 3: I would have liked to see them in this finals.
24:35
Speaker 3: And they can have their big market and kind of
24:37
Speaker 3: and go from there. All right, But bottom line is,
24:40
Speaker 3: you know it's good for basketball. We had those years
24:43
Speaker 3: with the San Antonio. Santonio's not a big market, okay,
24:46
Speaker 3: but those five championships are just as important as any
24:49
Speaker 3: as any other championships. All right, so let's back off
24:52
Speaker 3: a little bit and then you have the inconclusion. You
24:54
Speaker 3: got a number of calls here, you know, but people
24:56
Speaker 3: talk about it's the contract, the television contra tracts that, uh,
25:01
Speaker 3: these leagues depend on. You know, if you have a
25:03
Speaker 3: year where the ratings or not what the ratings were
25:05
Speaker 3: the year before, and at the end of the day,
25:07
Speaker 3: you know you're getting all your money because what brings
25:09
Speaker 3: people in. First of all, what keeps people saying is
25:12
Speaker 3: the malon militia. But next what brings people in is
25:14
Speaker 3: live sports. So we're gonna be tuning in air regardless.
25:17
Speaker 3: The networks know that, the people know that. In the leagues,
25:19
Speaker 3: they're gonna get the money. So it's gonna be a
25:21
Speaker 3: good finals. It's going seven and he's gonna bounce back
25:23
Speaker 3: to be a split and its.
25:26
Speaker 1: No one's watching it. But you're you're on. You're fine,
25:29
Speaker 1: No one's no one cares.
25:30

26:08
Speaker 3: of the year. Down.
26:10
Speaker 1: You got a couple of days left. I thought you're

26:40
Speaker 1: All right, thank you, Bud. It is great. Andre. Let's
26:42
Speaker 1: say hello to Bruce. I think he's walking around Santa
26:46
Speaker 1: Monica right now. See how many steps? Bruce says, Hello, Bruce,
26:49
Speaker 1: good morning.
26:50
Speaker 4: I'm on a super walk. I was slapping. I was
26:52
Speaker 4: slacking off for a few days.
26:54
Speaker 1: Oh hold on, I don't don't don't tell us, don't
26:56
Speaker 1: tell us you're on a super walk. What time did
26:58
Speaker 1: you start walking?
27:00
Speaker 4: Well, I was watching the NBA game between five and seven,
27:03
Speaker 4: and there was a twenty I'm hoping for Indiana, but
27:06
Speaker 4: then there was a twenty point lead, as you know,
27:09
Speaker 4: so I decided I don't need to watch the end
27:10
Speaker 4: of this. I listened to the end of it on
27:12
Speaker 4: the radio, and I've been walking since seven o'clock.
27:15
Speaker 1: Okay, so you've been walking for five and a half hours.
27:19
Speaker 1: But it's normally I do.
27:20
Speaker 4: Four, as I told you, but I'm doing six tonight.
27:24
Speaker 1: All right, I'm gonna guess. Oh, you're doing six, So
27:27
Speaker 1: you got another half hour to go or so and
27:29
Speaker 1: then you're done. Yeah, okay, I'm thinking Bruce is at
27:35
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say twenty one thousand, four hundred and eighty steps?
27:41
Speaker 1: Anyone else wanted to play the game here? How many
27:43
Speaker 1: steps is Bruce walking around Santa Monica tonight listening to
27:46
Speaker 1: the show. Oh my gosh, it's so long to be walking.
27:51
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm walking slowly. I don't walk very fast.
27:54
Speaker 1: What time did the walk start? Seven o'clock, even o'clock game?
27:57
Speaker 4: After the game, seven o'clock, Pete.
27:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, fixed standard time all the way till twelve thirty five.
28:03
Speaker 1: What was your guest ben twenty one? Was I? Twenty
28:06
Speaker 1: one thousand, four hundred and eighty. I believe it is
28:08
Speaker 1: what I was saying. That's a good guess. I'm gonna
28:11
Speaker 1: go with nineteen thousand. Okay, he said, slow walking? Have
28:17
Speaker 1: you taken any breaks?
28:19
Speaker 4: Absolutely? No break. I don't go very fast.
28:23
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go.
28:23
Speaker 1: It's an intensity, guy. It's gonna be like I'm I'm over,
28:26
Speaker 1: then over. Have you slowly walked me? You haven't? You
28:31
Speaker 1: have a step doometer on your earth thing what you
28:33
Speaker 1: call it? Of course?
28:35
Speaker 4: Yes, I'm going I got the on my iPhone. I've
28:38
Speaker 4: got I've got steps, and I've got miles.
28:41
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go twenty five thousand. All right, here we go.
28:45
Speaker 1: Lock you're listening, lock your bed saying, right now, Bruce
28:47
Speaker 1: walking around beautiful Santa Monica. Let's find out how many
28:50
Speaker 1: steps Bruce has.
28:53
Speaker 4: Just under twenty one?
28:56
Speaker 1: No Ye, showcase, show guy, we don't have to play
29:00
Speaker 1: show keep shudder. So I went that I was technically closer,
29:04
Speaker 1: So I think I won. I think that's what we'll
29:11
Speaker 1: have to ask for a dog for the final ruling
29:13
Speaker 1: on that. So you're wandering run and what are you
29:15
Speaker 1: pondering while you're walking around here? You have some amazing
29:17
Speaker 1: takes you're thinking about if you're wandering around? Is that correct?
29:20
Speaker 2: Bro?
29:20
Speaker 1: You?
29:21
Speaker 4: When I listened to you, I get some inspirations. So
29:24
Speaker 4: you were talking tonight about the you mentioned in passing
29:27
Speaker 4: a little bit about the Manning quarterback dynasty. And look,
29:32
Speaker 4: I love the two Manning brothers. They're great quarterbacks. I
29:35
Speaker 4: think they both end up in the Hall of Fame.
29:38
Speaker 4: Peyton already is. But the dirty little secret, which I
29:41
Speaker 4: think he probably know but you maybe you don't. It's
29:43
Speaker 4: an archie. Manning had a really mediocre NFL career. I
29:48
Speaker 4: don't think he ever appeared in a playoff game. I
29:51
Speaker 4: don't think the New Orleans Saints or he played for
29:53
Speaker 4: Houston at the end of his career. I don't think
29:55
Speaker 4: they ever made the playoffs once. And he was a
29:58
Speaker 4: great college quarterback at I guess he was Southern Mississippi,
30:03
Speaker 4: but he never never played.
30:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, be careful, you might be struck by lightning for
30:07
Speaker 1: saying that you're not allowed to attack a manny. You're
30:10
Speaker 1: that is in the inappropriate.
30:12
Speaker 4: I want to call it. My whole point of calling
30:13
Speaker 4: in is that it's a myth. It's a myth, but
30:17
Speaker 4: it's not a dynasty. It's two brothers, that's all. It's
30:20
Speaker 4: two brothers. It's on a dynasty. And looked up Marchie
30:23
Speaker 4: Archie Manning and see at the ever New Orleans Saints
30:25
Speaker 4: never made the playoffs once.
30:26
Speaker 1: In about No, they didn't make the playoffs. But he's
30:28
Speaker 1: revered NFL people. They revered. Not his fault. He was
30:31
Speaker 1: surrounded by bad but in fact Archie Manning in his career,
30:34
Speaker 1: he started what he started his career record. He had
30:37
Speaker 1: thirty five wins and one hundred and one losses. For
30:41
Speaker 1: the Saints, and I did not know that.
30:43
Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't know that the figures were that bad,
30:45
Speaker 4: but yeah he was. He didn't accomplish anything but.
30:49
Speaker 1: Played for the Oilers and the Vikings at the end
30:51
Speaker 1: of his career, but he played mostly with the Saints.
30:53
Speaker 1: It was thirty as really as el Stinkle thirty five
30:56
Speaker 1: and one hundred and one.
30:59
Speaker 4: When you listen to anyone talk about it, they go,
31:01
Speaker 4: they talk about like it's a dynasty. Is how is
31:04
Speaker 4: thirty five and one hundred and one part of a dynasty?
31:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, it is impressive that both his kids made
31:10
Speaker 1: the NFL and is I guess his grandson right, Arch
31:14
Speaker 1: Manning is not, but not Eli and Payden's kid. That's
31:17
Speaker 1: the other Manning, Cooper Manning's kids.
31:19
Speaker 4: So right, Very briefly regarding Kirk Cousins, my take on
31:23
Speaker 4: Kirk Cousins is is that, now get ready to disagree
31:26
Speaker 4: with me on this one. I believe that NFL quarterback
31:29
Speaker 4: is the most dominant position in any sport in the world.
31:33
Speaker 4: It's eighty percent of your NFL team is one guy,
31:36
Speaker 4: the quarterback. Ten percent is the offensive line. That's five
31:39
Speaker 4: three hundred and fifty pounds tanks to protect them and
31:41
Speaker 4: everybody else on the team. I don't care what all
31:43
Speaker 4: the NFL shows and Terry Bradshawn, whoever you've got on
31:47
Speaker 4: the I'll say that all these other positions are important,
31:51
Speaker 4: like cornerback and the defensive back ten percent for the
31:54
Speaker 4: whole rest of the team. And you might say, well,
31:57
Speaker 4: cornerbacks and wide receivers, they're all they're the most athletic
32:00
Speaker 4: guys in the field. That's true. They are more than
32:02
Speaker 4: the quarterback. But every NFL team has five or six
32:05
Speaker 4: great wide receivers at any one time. There's one hundred
32:08
Speaker 4: other ones.
32:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, your percentages might be off a little bit, but
32:13
Speaker 1: it's obviously a very important I'd be careful walking, Bruce.
32:16
Speaker 1: You're just walking around your building, right, You're fine, You're okay,
32:18
Speaker 1: all right, thanks, all right, Buddy the courtyard. He's in
32:21
Speaker 1: the courtyard. So if you're Bruce's neighbor, you see a
32:23
Speaker 1: guy walking around, that might be the famous Bruce the
32:25
Speaker 1: Walker in Santa Monica wandering around. It is the Ben
32:29
Speaker 1: Mallards show, So blame the mic. If you're watching the
32:32
Speaker 1: Sunday Night Baseball the Yankees and the Sauks from the
32:36
Speaker 1: Bronx you might have noticed that the third baseman of
32:41
Speaker 1: the New York Yankees, Jazz Chisholm Junior, made a throwing
32:46
Speaker 1: air while he was miked up, who goofed? I've got
32:50
Speaker 1: to know? Yeah? Happened in the top of the third inning.
32:54
Speaker 1: The Yankees were up to nothing over the Red Sox
32:56
Speaker 1: game they would end up losing, and Jazz had the
32:59
Speaker 1: mic on and yeah, and that led to the famous quote,
33:06
Speaker 1: the word damn It was said thereby Jazz Chisholm, who goofed?
33:10
Speaker 1: I've got to know? Blame the microphone? The in game
33:14
Speaker 1: interviews does that? And is anyone watching for the in
33:18
Speaker 1: game interviews serious? Like Zama oh Man, I love those interviews,
33:24
Speaker 1: I don't. I know they're trying to get Baseball players
33:26
Speaker 1: are generally boring and there's nothing interesting about them. So
33:29
Speaker 1: the reason they do that is to try to let
33:31
Speaker 1: you behind the scenes so you can find stuff out
33:33
Speaker 1: about the players and they seem more likable and more
33:35
Speaker 1: human and all that. It seems rather ridiculous, though all
33:39
Speaker 1: the game's going on, to do the in game interview
33:41
Speaker 1: with you know, who goofed? I've got to know? Anyway,
33:44
Speaker 1: it is the Ben Malord Show. We're gonna have Mallord
33:48
Speaker 1: to the third degree. Mallard of the third degree. That
33:50
Speaker 1: is right around the corner time now though for the
33:53
Speaker 1: Insta trivia, and we'll go to baseball for the answer trivia.
33:58
Speaker 1: The inaugural MLBACH was held sixty years ago this week,

36:36
Speaker 1: Chico Escuala from Viva Los VICKI Do you have an answer? Lorraine?
36:43
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant? All right, Well, Kobe was great sixty years
36:46
Speaker 1: ago and then he died and came back and played
36:48
Speaker 1: for the Lakers. The correct answer is Johnny Bench of
36:52
Speaker 1: the Big Red Machine. Johnny Bench.
36:57
Speaker 4: How about that?
36:57
Speaker 2: To the third degree, this is one Big Ben gets
37:03
Speaker 2: grilled cool.
37:05
Speaker 5: Earlier this year, former Colts coach Chuck Pagano came out
37:08
Speaker 5: of retirement to join the Ravens as their secondary coach.
37:11
Speaker 5: He was recently asked if he aspires to be a
37:13
Speaker 5: head coach again, and he said emphatically no, He's had
37:16
Speaker 5: enough of head coaching.
37:17
Speaker 1: Do you believe him? Yeah, I do believe it's been
37:21
Speaker 1: almost ten years since he was a head coach. He
37:23
Speaker 1: coached the Colts. I love Pagano is a great sound
37:25
Speaker 1: by he's almost sixty five. I think he's just tired
37:29
Speaker 1: of the bull crap and he just wants to coach
37:31
Speaker 1: and it's fun being a position coach and he can
37:34
Speaker 1: play grab ass with everyone on this Generally, I think
37:37
Speaker 1: most of these guys are lying when they say they
37:38
Speaker 1: don't want to be head coach. But in this case, no,
37:41
Speaker 1: I I believe Pagano is being one hundred percent reel
37:44
Speaker 1: and he knows he's not gonna be a head coach,
37:46
Speaker 1: and he's like he's happy just kind of hanging out
37:48
Speaker 1: and being part of the Ravens coaching step.
37:50
Speaker 5: Next, the Steelers have not had a losing record since
37:53
Speaker 5: the two thousand and three season under Bill Kauer. That's
37:56
Speaker 5: a twenty one straight years of finishing five hundred or better.
38:00
Speaker 5: Continue with Aaron Rodgers.
38:01
Speaker 1: Yes, because they've proven they've had sucked quarterbacks in Pittsburgh
38:06
Speaker 1: since even in the end of Roethlisberger, they were pretty bad.
38:10
Speaker 1: And so the Steelers defense is good enough to win
38:13
Speaker 1: by itself seven games, let's say, right, So they'll win
38:17
Speaker 1: seven because of the defense, and then the offense will
38:18
Speaker 1: win at least two or three, so they'll get to
38:21
Speaker 1: that nine or ten win Mark and Tomlin is a
38:24
Speaker 1: good regular season coach. He hasn't been a good playoff coach.
38:28
Speaker 1: But with TJ. Watt and Patrick Queen and what they
38:31
Speaker 1: have on defense and Hayward and those guys, they'll win
38:34
Speaker 1: at least nine games.
38:35
Speaker 5: Next The Celtics are widely expected to be active on
38:38
Speaker 5: the trade market this summer. In recent recording, says rival
38:40
Speaker 5: teams are operating as if Boston will have a little
38:43
Speaker 5: something for everybody. Yeah, then what Boston players do you
38:46
Speaker 5: expect to be gone next year?
38:47
Speaker 1: Well, definitely Holiday, Drew Holliday is going to be traded,
38:50
Speaker 1: Porzingis will likely be gone. The big one is do
38:53
Speaker 1: they trade Jalen Brown? But at least two of the
38:57
Speaker 1: rotation guys will be gone? How do we do necesssities?
39:00
Speaker 1: Actual went flooding on the board.
39:03
Speaker 4: H
