wanted his time with the Jets to end. This comes
after a separate report saying he begged to stay.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
In New York.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
So how do you process two contradictory reports? And the

Speaker 2 (02:08):
It's a lot. It is a lot.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Anyway, This the Ben Male Show. Now that the top
stories over the course of the overnight. If you've been
with us all night. We had a rant about the
collapse of the Lakers, the Mighty Lakers. It's all over,
and the Dallas Mavericks won the trade. Lucas fat Boy.
Does he look fat? We ranted about that and why

Chiefs again even though he's diminishing. His skills are diminishing.
Robo umpires are coming to baseball today. We had ran
about that. All this will be available on the podcast
and our lead story this hour to begin the coveted
our number four hour, Number four lead from Cincinnati a
(02:55):
contract squabble.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Did you hear? Maybe not? Maybe not.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
We have learned that Bengals wide receiver Jamar Chase he
will get paid. Now we know he's gonna get paid,
but to the tune of at least forty million per year.
According to the chatter around the NFL, they call it AAV.
People in football are obsessed with it average annual value.
(03:25):
When I look at my average annual value, I get depressed.
When football players look at their average annual value, they
have a cheshire cat smile from.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Ear to ear.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
So the superstar of the Cincinnati football team, he earned
the Triple Crown like your favorite racehorse, but football wise
in twenty twenty four and put all those great stats together.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
On a team that didn't even make the playoffs. So
let us discuss the question.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Jamar Chase looking to get a contract that will pay
him minimum forty million average annual value per year. There
Where do you see this thing going with Cincinnati knowing
the salary cap is going up? So I've got the rack,
october Fest and Artistic. We'll put these together and we
(04:12):
are going to make the secret weapon.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Okay, We're gonna make.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
This secret weapon because I am a little Einstein, little
Albert Einstein. So to kick off here, this Jamar Chase story,
I am convinced, is going up a blind alley. It's
going to end up at Impass. The Bengals in their
DNA are cheap skins.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Well they paid Joe Burrow. I got that. I got that,
but I'm still not convinced.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
And what I know of the Cincinnati back it's a
family run business. It's old money, and old money in
sports doesn't spend money because they pocket that money for
exotic trips and vacations and buy fifth houses and things
like that. So when it comes to find chances, I
think Cincinnati's on shaky ground. They are at their core
(05:03):
chief skates and we've all known somebody like Listen. I
don't spend a ton of money either, but occasionally I'll
all splurge. Occasionally, all splurge. But if I could find
something cheaper, sure, And the Bengals prefer to shop at
the rack, the discount rack, that's where they like to go.
They like to go to the rack outside of a
hostile takeover, complete with meds and therapy and some kind
(05:30):
of scented candles. This thing is going to go down
to the eleventh hour, like I would be stunned if
we come in here in the next couple of weeks
or a couple of months even.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
And they find common ground.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Jamar Chase is wonderful, right scriptball player, and it's his
time to get the dough.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
I get all that.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
The bar for Jamar Chase is the color purple.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
It's a color purple because it's the real It's a
relay race. And right now in the very front of.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
The relay race is Justin Jefferson of the Purple People Eaters,
who was college teammates with LSU. But that is wide
receiver you Louisiana State University. I don't know what they're
putting in the water in Baton Rouge, but my god,
they they have turned them out to stud NFL receivers
(06:26):
year after year for a long time now, and may
it's nuts. Anyway, Jefferson and Chase were college buddies. And
so this is the the number. Justin Jefferson signed a
contract extension last year and that is at thirty five
million dollars per year. I know very concerned about the
(06:47):
finances of these people, so that the chase is on
to pass that number by Now does he get thirty
five million and one dollar, one dollar, one dollar more
or does he get what he if the Bengals were
to pay. Imagine if you will, a world where the
Bengals pay Jamar Chase forty million dollars per year. They
(07:07):
would be paying a wide receiver as much or more
in average annual value than eighteen starting quarterbacks in the NFL.
Let me repeat that for those of you a little slow.
It's a weird time. Maybe you're sluggish in the back
of the room. If the Cincinnati football team does cross
(07:30):
the rubicon at forty million dollars per year, that means
that Jamar Chase will make as much or more.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
In aav than eighteen starting quarterbacks.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Yeah, there are If you do the math on this,
there are fourteen starters who make more than that amount
per year. Chase would make as much as Matthew Stafford.
But remember Stafford's gonna likely sign a new contract, whether
it's with the Rams probably not, or more in that
minute actually or some other team, and he's in the
(08:02):
process of redoing that. So what does Jamar Chase, what's
his resume?
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Say?
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Well, he led the NFL in targets he led the
NFL in pretty much every category, but last season leading
the NFL in targets. The greatest year you can have
as a wide receiver won the wide Receiver triple crowd.
I did the Milord math on this, so it works
out to ten point two targets per game. With NFL
(08:27):
teams running on average, sometimes a little less, sometimes more,
seventy plays will set seventy plays as the baseline. A
typical NFL game, each team runs the ball runs seventy
plays offensive play. That means, using my computer like brain
and a calculator, Jamar Chase gets the ball roughly fourteen
(08:47):
point five percent of all the offensive plays.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
And that was leading the NFL in targets.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
So is a player granted a very good player who
can reach for the stars.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Is that player worth forty million if.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
He's only getting the ball less than fifteen percent of
the time, And that's what you have to decide. Now,
someone's gonna pay him, whether it's the Bengals or somebody else.
He's going to find that money. And if his heart
is set on getting forty million dollars a year, he's
going to get that. He just probably have to leave
Cincinnati and go somewhere else, now furthermore to Jersey. So
(09:24):
a few days ago we did a mini Mallard monologue,
a little crossfire action here.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Aaron Rodgers, by the way, caught in the crossfire.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
We told you about a story that was making the
rounds in the echo chamber that said that Aaron Rodgers
had pleaded, pleaded with the Jets brass to keep him
I don't want to leave, and they treated him with
the cold shoulder they rejected. So I bring that up
because now there's an insider report that says that Rogers
(09:55):
wanted his time with the Jets to come to an e.
And so we've got two polar opposite reports here. You've
got the insider report. The latest report which came came
out last twenty four hours. It said Aaron Rodgers wanted
his time with the Jets end. This comes after chatter
that he had begged to stay in New York. So
(10:17):
how do you process all of this? Well, obviously someone
is going to put some money into the kitty for
lying fibbing. So what do you think is really going on?
I got a theory. Let me run this by here,
see if you agree with me or disagree So my
theory is that when you talk about Aaron, Aaron Rodgers
(10:38):
always has more leaks than the men's room at Octoberfest.
There's a lot of leaks. Always with Rogers, a lot
of leaks. So his latest leak is a counter strike,
a counter strike to the Jets. It's the battle of narratives,
the battle of narratives. The Jets leaked, Rogers pleaded to stay,
(11:00):
and now Aaron's guys or Aaron himself coming back and
saying well, no, no, I was ready to leave the
Jets because when you play the game who leaked the story,
it's who looks better in the story and why leak
the story?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
And the obvious one.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
When that story came out and said, you know, Aaron
Rodgers wanted to stay with the Jets and all that,
immediately I was like, all right, they got a new
coaching staff, new front office with the Jets. This makes
them look good that Rogers wanted to be there, and
they're the tough guys and they told him no, and
it made Rogers look like a mister softy that this
(11:40):
guy pathetically wanted to stay with the Jets and they
didn't want it. So he looked back but this latest
report is like, well, no, no, Aaron, he was ready to
leave the Jets. The Jets suck and they're gonna suck,
and he didn't want to be there with those dweebs
with the Jets. Come on those schmndrick's. So remember pyramid though,
(12:01):
there are three sides to every story. In this case,
you've got Aaron Rodgers' side, You've got the Jet side,
and then you've got the truth. Now, Rogers' speculation driving
a lot of.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Engagement right now.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
In the last forty eight hours, Rogers has been connected
with none other than the La Rams, the Pittsburgh Steelers,
and the Tennessee Titans. I imagine later today we'll hear
rumors about the Cleveland Browns and mystery team. We wait
with baited breath for Aaron rodgers next grab ass session
with Pat McAfee to feed the rumor machine. Stay tuned
(12:34):
all right, now, last thing I mentioned here that the
Rams are at loggerheads with Matthew Stafford. So the Rams
are said to be asking for a first round pick
for Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
That's my quarterback. So what can we learn from this?
What can we learn from this one?
Speaker 1 (12:54):
The Rams if you believe the reporting, they're dancing around,
they're doing the let's make a deal dance.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
And they want a first round pick.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
So to me, they are setting this thing up. They're
setting this thing up where the bar is very high.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
All right, they're.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Setting the bar out of the cosmos outside the Milky Way.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
And many people are laughing.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
And I actually got an email from some douchebag Patriots
fans like, no.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
I know you like the Rams, bed, but this is ridiculous.
No one's gonna give up that much for you give
me that whole rant, not in right back to that bozo.
But here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
You laugh all you want, and so nobody's gonna give
up a first round draft pick for a thirty seven
year old quarterback. But I would say, if you're laughing,
you're you're a country bumpkin who doesn't know the arts,
because what the Rams are doing as they're being artistic.
Having read the book Art of the Deal, I think
(13:54):
Trump wrote that the Art of the Deal, you request
terms you know your opponent will not exit. You know,
going into the negotiation, your opponent's not going to give
you a first round pick. But it's negotiation one on
one you ask for a lot more, you recognize that
the person you're negotiating with will likely give a little,
(14:16):
maybe a lot along the way, And by asking for
something that's ridiculous outside the norm, the adversary cannot should
not take that seriously. The Rams are essentially arranging the
pieces on the chessboard to get the betterment of the franchise.
(14:36):
You don't ask for what you don't really want. They
would love a first round pick. And while you might
think the RAMS request is outrageous and unbecoming, it doesn't
mean that other teams might not give give in for
what they want.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Right unless you're unaware of this, there's a lot of
nut jobs that own NFL teams.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
They got them because they won the genetic lot and
they were born into the family and like jim Irsay.
For example, let's say Jim Irsay wakes up after a
bender in Indy and is like, you know what, I
had a dream that the Colts win the Super Bowl
with Matthew Stafford and it's over the top, but I
(15:17):
need to get Stafford. The Rams want a first round pick. Okay,
we'll send him a first round pick. And while the
outcome has a low probability. You gotta find the idiot
in the room, and you don't know who the idiot
in the room is until you give them an ignor
Ramis proposal and they accept it. Now, most likely teams
(15:37):
will continue to offer counter proposals right until you come
up with some sort of sweet spot, and the Rams
will certainly settle for less than the moon.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
The moon would be a first round draft pick. The
moon is the.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
High end, and you know, give a little give and
take a little back and forth art of the deal negotiation,
you know you're gonna settle for less.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
La would be very.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Happy with, like what a second round pick or even
a third round pick. Now that said my fellow RAM fans,
who can ram it all day and ram it all night.
They're upset with me because it is a feedback I'm
getting because I I'm.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Approving the idea of moving on from Matthew Stafford. And
there's a number of.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
RAM officionados, as Lorena would say, that do not agree
with that.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
But here's my issue.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
I'd much rather get rid of Stafford a year or
two early rather than until he completely is fertilizer and
then that's it. And I trust Sean McVay. As long
as McVeigh is there and engaged, I have faith that
McVeigh will figure it out. And the Rams identity now
(16:51):
is a young defense and Puka Nakua, and they liked
their offensive line. They'll like the ad to their offensive
line this year in the draft. So as long as
mcvay's engaged, they'll figure it out. Whether they get an
old geezer to play quarterback like Aaron Rodgers, or they
go draft some loser from East North South suck you.
(17:12):
It doesn't matter that whoever they get, I believe McVeigh
will coach up and they'll be at least at the
very worst of fringe playoff team, and so they'll be
in good shape there. All right, it is the Ben
Mahlor Show. You want to comment on any of this,

that'll be coming your way later in the ur But
right now, back to Ben. Yeah, Bill, that's right. And
I didn't want to mention this before I forget.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
We started the hour ranting and raving about Jamar Chase
and some other random stuff in the NFL. But a major,
major tip of the headphones to Mike Lange. Now you
probably maybe know who he is, maybe not we you know,
I'm not a.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Big hockey guy.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
I will talk some hockey tonight, the game in Boston,
USA and Canada and the four nation thing. I'll be
checking that out, so I'll watch that.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
But here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
So Mike Lang was the voice of the pits Burg hockey.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Team for years, and Mike Lange died this week.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
He retired a couple of years back, and he called
Penguins hockey from like the seventies up until a.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Few years ago. He was the voice of the Penguins.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
And as the team said, they sent out a release
time about how what a wordsmith he was and a magician.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
He said, well, a lot of that's hyperbole.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
And but no, no, what it wasn't in fact, we
played for years from my early days here at Fox
Sports Radio when I was, like, you know, I was
twelve years old. It was a child labor when I started,
and we played Mike Lang highlight and this guy was
he's originally from Sacramento. I'm sure our friends stuck in
Sacramento appreciates that, but he's from Sacramento. And he became
(20:46):
a beloved yinsur over the years, and he had so
many famous calls.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
And I remember having a conversation.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
With the Looney Tunes, who I do the TV show with,
and he's like, this guy's perfect because he makes it
all about him. But he did it in such a
loving way. And so the Penguins when they would score
a goal, he would throw in a ridiculous line like
shave my face with a rusty razor, you know, something
like that, or scratch my back with a hacksaw, like
(21:14):
all this crazy stuff, all this crazy stuff. And he
would throw in these random statements like let's go moose,
you go hunt a moose on a Harley or something
like that. Right, you know, this goes back. The Penguins
used to be really good every year, and they kind
of not very good anymore. But when they had yarm
or Yager and those guys back in the day, and
it was great. And when they would do something cool,
(21:38):
he'd be like, oh, many's smiling like a butcher's dog.
Or the most famous line, which is a classic line,
is beaten like a rented mule when the goalie for
the other team gave up a goal. Never a Penguin's goalie,
but the other team beaten like a rented mule. And
what else he would say?
Speaker 2 (21:59):
What are some of his other ones?
Speaker 1 (22:00):
No, I don't know whether to cry or wind his watch,
you know, stuff like that. Son, rest in peace, Mike Lang, life,
well lived, Mike Laang, the voice of the Pittsburgh Penguins
for so many years. And when of those iconic old
school play by play guys, and he has crossed over
there to the pearly gates. Let's go to the phones
(22:22):
and we'll say hello to eeny Meeni, miney mo. Blind
Scott is on the north end of Boston, and hello
to you.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
Hey, what's up Ben? Yeah? This is for that Maynard
guy that loves hockey. You know, they got the Four
Nations Classic here in Boston tonight. I don't think Trump's
going but it would have been great to have him here, batching.
Speaker 6 (22:44):
That's my president.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
You know, I want him at these events.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Are you sure about that? Yeah? No, I know.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
I thought I thought he was going to attend, but
I guess he decided not to. And I don't think
you can just show up at the last minute if
you're the president, right, you can't just like say, surprise
eyes and drive out on the zamboni at the first inn.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
Miss, Yeah, I hit a flag. I was gonna hang
so I was going to go and so I was
trying to check if he was coming out. So I
was going to go in the garden now and I
was going to go and hang it out like off
the roof so when they show it, you would be
able to see it. But it's useless now if he's
not shown up. I'm not going to go do that
for no reason, you know what I'm saying, Like, now, would.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
You have gotten you've gotten arrested with this flag?
Speaker 5 (23:24):
Yeah, that's the thing that was to protests anymore. And
my family doesn't want to talk to me, and uh
my mom is still comes by to help me out
every day. So I don't want to break the tyson.
It's like five degrees out too and that, and it's
like my mobility canes. It's so cold they keep breaking,
like the heads of them keeps snapping off.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
So yeah, that sucks.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Maybe just stay in until it warms up in like
two months.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
Yeah, it's would have been doing. It is getting ready
for the Mallard meet and greet.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
In Las Vegas.
Speaker 5 (23:50):

money on Juan Soto. Now he wants to reduce the
payroll and do it through the draft once he did
what he did with one. So he's in bed with
the guy and he's going to keep going the same way.
He's got to get the people and the players to
(25:31):
support Loan Soto. He's going to keep spending and spending
a little bit like the Dodgers. I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Well, I saw listen.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
I thought what Cohen said about the Dodgers was he
was like, hey, he didn't rip him like Steinbrenner's kid did.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
He's like, yeah, he praised them for what they did.
He didn't rip them, and they spent a lot of
money and he praised them.
Speaker 6 (25:54):
I mean, yes, he has to do the same thing.
He can't just back off. Now, Oh my god, I
can't believe. Obviously he's an intelligent man, but somebody I
don't believe.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
I didn't see the quote you're talking about. But I
don't believe he's gonna back down. He's a fan of
the Mets, and you know every but angry Bill. You
know that in you know, next off season, maybe the
Mets think they're a picture away and there'll be a
picture who's a free agent, and Coan will get a
bug up his you know, took us, and then they'll
go out and sign the guy.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
That's how it works.
Speaker 6 (26:26):
There's a lot of articles online about how he wants
to back off and get the pay.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
I don't I don't believe it. He can say anything.
It's spring training. You can say anything crap you want. Now, Well,
proof is when you have to make those decisions.
Speaker 6 (26:40):
Well, he's got to keep his mouth shut, bet and
keep spending. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Well, no talk shows. He can keep talking all he wants.
It's good for my business.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
I mean, I.
Speaker 6 (26:51):
Think he was complaining about his attendance. He doesn't he's
been in baseball for long and he doesn't know. He's
not the Chicago Cubs, he's not the Boston Red Sox.
The fans show up no matter what, they don't show up.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Well, but his argument was with the Mets, like if
the assumption was if the Mets ever get a good
team again, that the people will show up. And the
Mets had a good although they didn't play great at
the beginning year, but they had a good team last
year and the fans weren't really there.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
So that's what he was.
Speaker 6 (27:19):
It's just it's not a type of place they're going
to get packed with fans. Okay, and let's say some
unique thing going on. It's same nineteen sixty nine, This
ain't seventy three. He just he doesn't understand that it's
a crappy place to go.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Okay, well it is. I say it's a new ballpark,
but it's actually been around for a while now. But
the Mets.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
The Mets drew fewer fans than Toronto, and Toronto sucked
last year.
Speaker 6 (27:46):
So look the Yankee Stadium. Watched the game of Yankee
Stadium and the pan around the view and then there's
empty seats all over the place at the Yankee Stadium.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Well, the thing to at Yankee Stadium, and it's just
the same. There is a problem everywhere. They tried for
the aristocrats. They in these ballparks, they have these fine restaurants.
My cousin lives in Connecticut. She gets Yankee tickets a
couple of times a year. She goes to the game
and she just eats in the restaurant behind Home Place.
She has tickets right behind Home played Bill. She didn't
even watch the game. She's watching her on TV, eating seafood.
Speaker 6 (28:17):
She wants to look like you, Ben, don't worry about.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
It, Keet blind Scott pick On. Immediately I get out
of here. How dare you? Let's say hello to Dick,
Dick and Dayton. Hello Dick, Well sure you? If I
was any better I'd be a banger, but not a
Cincinnati bank. Are they going to pay your mar Chase Dick?
Speaker 7 (28:39):
I don't know, but boy, it's it's not good. It's
get the station's bad. If he leaves. I don't think
anybody will watch the Bengals because him, to you know,
Joe Burrow to him is a it's a light, it's
a it's a it's great. I just hope they don't
get he leaves. And you know, I'm still concerned, you know,
(29:01):
Miles Garrett, Yeah, that would you be.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Willing Dick and Dayton to throw a couple bucks in?
Speaker 4 (29:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (29:08):
You know I was that. We're talking on the Cleveland
station about Aaron Rodgers and maybe Matthew Stafford going to Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Yeah, I'd like to see it. You'd like to see
which one would you prefer?
Speaker 7 (29:25):
Aaron Rodgers?
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Aaron Rodgers?
Speaker 8 (29:27):
Right?
Speaker 2 (29:28):
What about Kirk Cousins You want him?
Speaker 7 (29:30):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Oh, you take him too?
Speaker 7 (29:33):
You know what?
Speaker 2 (29:34):
You know what the Bengals.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
I know you're more of a Browns fan, but you
love all things Ohio to you, Dick and Dayton, Ohio
is a sovereign nation. Correct that you don't even leave Ohio?
You love Ohio so much. Ohio has everything you need.
You don't need to go to Pennsylvania or you know,
Indiana or Illinois as of the states around you.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Just stay in Ohio. Right, that's perfect? Yeah, I guess.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
So how about the Kettering Banjo Society get Back Together,
or the Strummers or the Strings.
Speaker 7 (30:02):
Strummers or the Star City Dolcimers in Miamisburg and Debbie
Debbie runs that we have. We're going to do three
or four shows this year down in Dayton.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
That probably doesn't how about you do one for charity
for the Bengals. You can do and all the money
raised will go to the Jamar Chase Marching and Chowder Society.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
How about that?
Speaker 7 (30:24):
Yeah? And you know another thing I was so proud of.
You know, they got the monkey off his back. Ryan
Day was dead and buried after Michigan. But boy, they
just they just showed the Ohio They were one of
the better teams. You know. I thought it was good, you.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Know, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure for sure? All right,
Well everything else good with you there, Dick?
Speaker 2 (30:48):

All right, So former NFL players do the darkness things
you see. This video went viral. A former punter Chris Kooey,
no longer playing in the NFL. He lives in Huntington Beach,
and he went to a city council meeting and ended
up getting carried out by cops handcuffed because of this
unhinged political rant by Chris Kloey, who played for the
(34:05):
Minnesota Vikings back back in the day. And I mean,
what are you doing, dude. I know you're apparently upset
and your team didn't win or whatever, and you're upset
about some statue or name or something like that. And man,
what a whack job, What an absolute whack job Chris Klooey,
(34:26):
My god. Anyway, the video, he goes on this rant
for like a minute, and then he like he goes
up towards the stage knowing he's going to end up
getting arrested, and then they cops arrested him, and then
he would not walk out, so they carried him out
like a like a bag of meat or something. They
(34:47):
carried him out of the room. But man, alive, Okay,
there you go outstanding. There's your longtime Minnesota Viking punter.
I had a long, long run. Not a very good player,
but had a long run in the NFL. You're a punter,
you can kind of hide out for a while. Keep

Celebrating with dolls A J. Brown, Super Bowl champion uh
cooting his girlfriend. He purchased a six foot two mannequin
and he has it decked out in his Super Bowl jersey, pants, helmet,
and cleats. The mannequin is now displayed in AJ Brown's
man cave in his basement. Story number two, Alan Iverson
(39:13):
trying to hustle for that money. The old NBA players
teamed up with a company called Dark Trace, leader in
AI Intelligence to launch a new project called The Answer AI.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
That was his nickname.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
The Answer was named the chief content officer for the projects,
giving his name I guess.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
And Story number three.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
Connor McGregor, the MMA star, has his own record label
called Greenback Records, and they just signed a new girl
group named Sweet Love. McGregor called them the biggest group
since the Spice Girls. Unless they're not all right. Those
are the three stories. Figure out which the three is
not true. We'll start out with the Power couple, Leslie
and Jack the judge one, two or three Leslie number one,
(39:55):
then oh Jack number one. Jack says number one, thank you,
have a great weekend, you tube kid. And Adam is

Speaker 2 (40:05):
I don't blame you.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
Uh, And and Adam, what what do you think the
fake story is?
Speaker 6 (40:10):
We'll go with number three, then number three?

And reveal answers, reveal.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
Answers, the beaks like number two the iverson story. We
are a couple of winners there. Yeah, that was the
made up one. Good job by all
Boom shack a lacha as we try to catch a
big fish in our number.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Our four is at the door and the chase is on.
Now you might not.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Give two hoots about this, but we do. Jamar Chase
is looking to get a contract that would pay him
forty million dollars per year. Where do you see this going?
In Cincinnati? Also insider a report saying that Aaron Rodgers
wanted his time with the Jets to end. This comes
after a separate report saying he begged to stay.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
In New York.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
So how do you process two contradictory reports? And the
Rams are said to be asking for a first round
pick for Matthew Stafford. What can we learn from that report?
We'll get to all of it. We'll light up your
ear drums right now. The wrecking ball has arrived. Jump
(00:56):
on the bandwagon. It's our number, fall, the chase is on.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
It's a lot. It is a lot.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Anyway, This the Ben Male Show. Now that the top
stories over the course of the overnight. If you've been
with us all night. We had a rant about the
collapse of the Lakers, the Mighty Lakers. It's all over,
and the Dallas Mavericks won the trade. Lucas fat Boy.
Does he look fat? We ranted about that and why
(02:31):
he looks fat. Travis Kelsey's leaning towards playing for the
Chiefs again even though he's diminishing. His skills are diminishing.
Robo umpires are coming to baseball today. We had ran
about that. All this will be available on the podcast
and our lead story this hour to begin the coveted
our number four hour, Number four lead from Cincinnati a
(02:55):
contract squabble.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Did you hear? Maybe not? Maybe not.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
We have learned that Bengals wide receiver Jamar Chase he
will get paid. Now we know he's gonna get paid,
but to the tune of at least forty million per year.
According to the chatter around the NFL, they call it AAV.
People in football are obsessed with it average annual value.
(03:25):
When I look at my average annual value, I get depressed.
When football players look at their average annual value, they
have a cheshire cat smile from.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Ear to ear.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
So the superstar of the Cincinnati football team, he earned
the Triple Crown like your favorite racehorse, but football wise
in twenty twenty four and put all those great stats together.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
On a team that didn't even make the playoffs. So
let us discuss the question.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Jamar Chase looking to get a contract that will pay
him minimum forty million average annual value per year. There
Where do you see this thing going with Cincinnati knowing
the salary cap is going up? So I've got the rack,
october Fest and Artistic. We'll put these together and we
(04:12):
are going to make the secret weapon.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Okay, We're gonna make.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
This secret weapon because I am a little Einstein, little
Albert Einstein. So to kick off here, this Jamar Chase story,
I am convinced, is going up a blind alley. It's
going to end up at Impass. The Bengals in their
DNA are cheap skins.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Well they paid Joe Burrow. I got that. I got that,
but I'm still not convinced.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
And what I know of the Cincinnati back it's a
family run business. It's old money, and old money in
sports doesn't spend money because they pocket that money for
exotic trips and vacations and buy fifth houses and things
like that. So when it comes to find chances, I
think Cincinnati's on shaky ground. They are at their core
(05:03):
chief skates and we've all known somebody like Listen. I
don't spend a ton of money either, but occasionally I'll
all splurge. Occasionally, all splurge. But if I could find
something cheaper, sure, And the Bengals prefer to shop at
the rack, the discount rack, that's where they like to go.
They like to go to the rack outside of a
hostile takeover, complete with meds and therapy and some kind
(05:30):
of scented candles. This thing is going to go down
to the eleventh hour, like I would be stunned if
we come in here in the next couple of weeks
or a couple of months even.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
And they find common ground.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Jamar Chase is wonderful, right scriptball player, and it's his
time to get the dough.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
I get all that.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
The bar for Jamar Chase is the color purple.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
It's a color purple because it's the real It's a
relay race. And right now in the very front of.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
The relay race is Justin Jefferson of the Purple People Eaters,
who was college teammates with LSU. But that is wide
receiver you Louisiana State University. I don't know what they're
putting in the water in Baton Rouge, but my god,
they they have turned them out to stud NFL receivers
(06:26):
year after year for a long time now, and may
it's nuts. Anyway, Jefferson and Chase were college buddies. And
so this is the the number. Justin Jefferson signed a
contract extension last year and that is at thirty five
million dollars per year. I know very concerned about the
(06:47):
finances of these people, so that the chase is on
to pass that number by Now does he get thirty
five million and one dollar, one dollar, one dollar more
or does he get what he if the Bengals were
to pay. Imagine if you will, a world where the
Bengals pay Jamar Chase forty million dollars per year. They
(07:07):
would be paying a wide receiver as much or more
in average annual value than eighteen starting quarterbacks in the NFL.
Let me repeat that for those of you a little slow.
It's a weird time. Maybe you're sluggish in the back
of the room. If the Cincinnati football team does cross
(07:30):
the rubicon at forty million dollars per year, that means
that Jamar Chase will make as much or more.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
In aav than eighteen starting quarterbacks.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Yeah, there are If you do the math on this,
there are fourteen starters who make more than that amount
per year. Chase would make as much as Matthew Stafford.
But remember Stafford's gonna likely sign a new contract, whether
it's with the Rams probably not, or more in that
minute actually or some other team, and he's in the
(08:02):
process of redoing that. So what does Jamar Chase, what's
his resume?
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Say?
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Well, he led the NFL in targets he led the
NFL in pretty much every category, but last season leading
the NFL in targets. The greatest year you can have
as a wide receiver won the wide Receiver triple crowd.
I did the Milord math on this, so it works
out to ten point two targets per game. With NFL
(08:27):
teams running on average, sometimes a little less, sometimes more,
seventy plays will set seventy plays as the baseline. A
typical NFL game, each team runs the ball runs seventy
plays offensive play. That means, using my computer like brain
and a calculator, Jamar Chase gets the ball roughly fourteen
(08:47):
point five percent of all the offensive plays.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
And that was leading the NFL in targets.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
So is a player granted a very good player who
can reach for the stars.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Is that player worth forty million if.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
He's only getting the ball less than fifteen percent of
the time, And that's what you have to decide. Now,
someone's gonna pay him, whether it's the Bengals or somebody else.
He's going to find that money. And if his heart
is set on getting forty million dollars a year, he's
going to get that. He just probably have to leave
Cincinnati and go somewhere else, now furthermore to Jersey. So
(09:24):
a few days ago we did a mini Mallard monologue,
a little crossfire action here.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Aaron Rodgers, by the way, caught in the crossfire.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
We told you about a story that was making the
rounds in the echo chamber that said that Aaron Rodgers
had pleaded, pleaded with the Jets brass to keep him
I don't want to leave, and they treated him with
the cold shoulder they rejected. So I bring that up
because now there's an insider report that says that Rogers
(09:55):
wanted his time with the Jets to come to an e.
And so we've got two polar opposite reports here. You've
got the insider report. The latest report which came came
out last twenty four hours. It said Aaron Rodgers wanted
his time with the Jets end. This comes after chatter
that he had begged to stay in New York. So
(10:17):
how do you process all of this? Well, obviously someone
is going to put some money into the kitty for
lying fibbing. So what do you think is really going on?
I got a theory. Let me run this by here,
see if you agree with me or disagree So my
theory is that when you talk about Aaron, Aaron Rodgers
(10:38):
always has more leaks than the men's room at Octoberfest.
There's a lot of leaks. Always with Rogers, a lot
of leaks. So his latest leak is a counter strike,
a counter strike to the Jets. It's the battle of narratives,
the battle of narratives. The Jets leaked, Rogers pleaded to stay,
(11:00):
and now Aaron's guys or Aaron himself coming back and
saying well, no, no, I was ready to leave the
Jets because when you play the game who leaked the story,
it's who looks better in the story and why leak
the story?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
And the obvious one.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
When that story came out and said, you know, Aaron
Rodgers wanted to stay with the Jets and all that,
immediately I was like, all right, they got a new
coaching staff, new front office with the Jets. This makes
them look good that Rogers wanted to be there, and
they're the tough guys and they told him no, and
it made Rogers look like a mister softy that this
(11:40):
guy pathetically wanted to stay with the Jets and they
didn't want it. So he looked back but this latest
report is like, well, no, no, Aaron, he was ready to
leave the Jets. The Jets suck and they're gonna suck,
and he didn't want to be there with those dweebs
with the Jets. Come on those schmndrick's. So remember pyramid though,
(12:01):
there are three sides to every story. In this case,
you've got Aaron Rodgers' side, You've got the Jet side,
and then you've got the truth. Now, Rogers' speculation driving
a lot of.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Engagement right now.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
In the last forty eight hours, Rogers has been connected
with none other than the La Rams, the Pittsburgh Steelers,
and the Tennessee Titans. I imagine later today we'll hear
rumors about the Cleveland Browns and mystery team. We wait
with baited breath for Aaron rodgers next grab ass session
with Pat McAfee to feed the rumor machine. Stay tuned
(12:34):
all right, now, last thing I mentioned here that the
Rams are at loggerheads with Matthew Stafford. So the Rams
are said to be asking for a first round pick
for Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
That's my quarterback. So what can we learn from this?
What can we learn from this one?
Speaker 1 (12:54):
The Rams if you believe the reporting, they're dancing around,
they're doing the let's make a deal dance.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
And they want a first round pick.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
So to me, they are setting this thing up. They're
setting this thing up where the bar is very high.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
All right, they're.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Setting the bar out of the cosmos outside the Milky Way.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
And many people are laughing.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
And I actually got an email from some douchebag Patriots
fans like, no.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
I know you like the Rams, bed, but this is ridiculous.
No one's gonna give up that much for you give
me that whole rant, not in right back to that bozo.
But here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
You laugh all you want, and so nobody's gonna give
up a first round draft pick for a thirty seven
year old quarterback. But I would say, if you're laughing,
you're you're a country bumpkin who doesn't know the arts,
because what the Rams are doing as they're being artistic.
Having read the book Art of the Deal, I think
(13:54):
Trump wrote that the Art of the Deal, you request
terms you know your opponent will not exit. You know,
going into the negotiation, your opponent's not going to give
you a first round pick. But it's negotiation one on
one you ask for a lot more, you recognize that
the person you're negotiating with will likely give a little,
(14:16):
maybe a lot along the way, And by asking for
something that's ridiculous outside the norm, the adversary cannot should
not take that seriously. The Rams are essentially arranging the
pieces on the chessboard to get the betterment of the franchise.
(14:36):
You don't ask for what you don't really want. They
would love a first round pick. And while you might
think the RAMS request is outrageous and unbecoming, it doesn't
mean that other teams might not give give in for
what they want.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Right unless you're unaware of this, there's a lot of
nut jobs that own NFL teams.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
They got them because they won the genetic lot and
they were born into the family and like jim Irsay.
For example, let's say Jim Irsay wakes up after a
bender in Indy and is like, you know what, I
had a dream that the Colts win the Super Bowl
with Matthew Stafford and it's over the top, but I
(15:17):
need to get Stafford. The Rams want a first round pick. Okay,
we'll send him a first round pick. And while the
outcome has a low probability. You gotta find the idiot
in the room, and you don't know who the idiot
in the room is until you give them an ignor
Ramis proposal and they accept it. Now, most likely teams
(15:37):
will continue to offer counter proposals right until you come
up with some sort of sweet spot, and the Rams
will certainly settle for less than the moon.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
The moon would be a first round draft pick. The
moon is the.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
High end, and you know, give a little give and
take a little back and forth art of the deal negotiation,
you know you're gonna settle for less.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
La would be very.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Happy with, like what a second round pick or even
a third round pick. Now that said my fellow RAM fans,
who can ram it all day and ram it all night.
They're upset with me because it is a feedback I'm
getting because I I'm.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Approving the idea of moving on from Matthew Stafford. And
there's a number of.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
RAM officionados, as Lorena would say, that do not agree
with that.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
But here's my issue.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
I'd much rather get rid of Stafford a year or
two early rather than until he completely is fertilizer and
then that's it. And I trust Sean McVay. As long
as McVeigh is there and engaged, I have faith that
McVeigh will figure it out. And the Rams identity now
(16:51):
is a young defense and Puka Nakua, and they liked
their offensive line. They'll like the ad to their offensive
line this year in the draft. So as long as
mcvay's engaged, they'll figure it out. Whether they get an
old geezer to play quarterback like Aaron Rodgers, or they
go draft some loser from East North South suck you.
(17:12):
It doesn't matter that whoever they get, I believe McVeigh
will coach up and they'll be at least at the
very worst of fringe playoff team, and so they'll be
in good shape there. All right, it is the Ben
Mahlor Show. You want to comment on any of this,

Speaker 2 (19:13):
Up later this hour, we will have fact or fiction
that'll be coming your way later in the ur But
right now, back to Ben. Yeah, Bill, that's right. And
I didn't want to mention this before I forget.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
We started the hour ranting and raving about Jamar Chase
and some other random stuff in the NFL. But a major,
major tip of the headphones to Mike Lange. Now you
probably maybe know who he is, maybe not we you know,
I'm not a.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Big hockey guy.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
I will talk some hockey tonight, the game in Boston,
USA and Canada and the four nation thing. I'll be
checking that out, so I'll watch that.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
But here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
So Mike Lang was the voice of the pits Burg hockey.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Team for years, and Mike Lange died this week.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
He retired a couple of years back, and he called
Penguins hockey from like the seventies up until a.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Few years ago. He was the voice of the Penguins.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
And as the team said, they sent out a release
time about how what a wordsmith he was and a magician.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
He said, well, a lot of that's hyperbole.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
And but no, no, what it wasn't in fact, we
played for years from my early days here at Fox
Sports Radio when I was, like, you know, I was
twelve years old. It was a child labor when I started,
and we played Mike Lang highlight and this guy was
he's originally from Sacramento. I'm sure our friends stuck in
Sacramento appreciates that, but he's from Sacramento. And he became
(20:46):
a beloved yinsur over the years, and he had so
many famous calls.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
And I remember having a conversation.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
With the Looney Tunes, who I do the TV show with,
and he's like, this guy's perfect because he makes it
all about him. But he did it in such a
loving way. And so the Penguins when they would score
a goal, he would throw in a ridiculous line like
shave my face with a rusty razor, you know, something
like that, or scratch my back with a hacksaw, like
(21:14):
all this crazy stuff, all this crazy stuff. And he
would throw in these random statements like let's go moose,
you go hunt a moose on a Harley or something
like that. Right, you know, this goes back. The Penguins
used to be really good every year, and they kind
of not very good anymore. But when they had yarm
or Yager and those guys back in the day, and
it was great. And when they would do something cool,
(21:38):
he'd be like, oh, many's smiling like a butcher's dog.
Or the most famous line, which is a classic line,
is beaten like a rented mule when the goalie for
the other team gave up a goal. Never a Penguin's goalie,
but the other team beaten like a rented mule. And
what else he would say?
Speaker 2 (21:59):
What are some of his other ones?
Speaker 1 (22:00):
No, I don't know whether to cry or wind his watch,
you know, stuff like that. Son, rest in peace, Mike Lang, life,
well lived, Mike Laang, the voice of the Pittsburgh Penguins
for so many years. And when of those iconic old
school play by play guys, and he has crossed over
there to the pearly gates. Let's go to the phones
(22:22):
and we'll say hello to eeny Meeni, miney mo. Blind
Scott is on the north end of Boston, and hello
to you.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
Hey, what's up Ben? Yeah? This is for that Maynard
guy that loves hockey. You know, they got the Four
Nations Classic here in Boston tonight. I don't think Trump's
going but it would have been great to have him here, batching.
Speaker 6 (22:44):
That's my president.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
You know, I want him at these events.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Are you sure about that? Yeah? No, I know.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
I thought I thought he was going to attend, but
I guess he decided not to. And I don't think
you can just show up at the last minute if
you're the president, right, you can't just like say, surprise
eyes and drive out on the zamboni at the first inn.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
Miss, Yeah, I hit a flag. I was gonna hang
so I was going to go and so I was
trying to check if he was coming out. So I
was going to go in the garden now and I
was going to go and hang it out like off
the roof so when they show it, you would be
able to see it. But it's useless now if he's
not shown up. I'm not going to go do that
for no reason, you know what I'm saying, Like, now, would.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
You have gotten you've gotten arrested with this flag?
Speaker 5 (23:24):
Yeah, that's the thing that was to protests anymore. And
my family doesn't want to talk to me, and uh
my mom is still comes by to help me out
every day. So I don't want to break the tyson.
It's like five degrees out too and that, and it's
like my mobility canes. It's so cold they keep breaking,
like the heads of them keeps snapping off.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
So yeah, that sucks.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Maybe just stay in until it warms up in like
two months.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
Yeah, it's would have been doing. It is getting ready
for the Mallard meet and greet.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
In Las Vegas.
Speaker 5 (23:50):
We're gonna rent like a whole bar for that.
Speaker 7 (23:52):
I did.
Speaker 5 (23:52):
Angry Bill guy, he's really been getting them on. There's man,
this guy, he's like he's a typical Yankee train. You know,
he's an older guy. You run in this type of
guy all the time in the Tri State area, you know,
the big big Yanks, you know.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Don't you want you want to you want to say
all to him? You want to talk to him?
Speaker 5 (24:08):
Yeah, I sure, I got a guest here. I got
a guest here that wants to talk.
Speaker 7 (24:11):
To him too.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Oh you do? Okay, Yeah, let's let's see.
Speaker 5 (24:15):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Let me's put on Angry Angry Bill.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
You want to talk to blind Scott Angry Bill online?
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Three Angry Bill, You're they're.
Speaker 6 (24:22):
Angry but I'm here, But you always do this today.
I don't want to talk to this stupid.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
I got your daughter here.
Speaker 6 (24:30):
Actually, I'm going to call your mother and have her
smack your right.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
Bill. It's Melissa. To the peace of lady, your daughter.
We haven't talked in years. How come we don't speak
anymore because.
Speaker 6 (24:42):
You're an idiot?
Speaker 5 (24:45):
Oh you don't like me? How come you don't love me?
Speaker 7 (24:47):
Dad?
Speaker 6 (24:47):
You?
Speaker 2 (24:48):
All right?
Speaker 8 (24:51):
What was?
Speaker 2 (24:52):
What are we doing?
Speaker 8 (24:54):
Low?
Speaker 4 (24:54):
Blow?
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Blind Scott? I mean blind Scott went right below the belt?
All right? Is angry Bill? So there we hang up
on everybody. I don't know, are you there, angry Bill?
Speaker 6 (25:03):
I'm here Ben?
Speaker 1 (25:05):
All right, Yeah, I don't know what that was. But anyway,
moving on, Angry But what do you want to complain
about today?
Speaker 6 (25:10):
Well, I'm not actually a complaint, but this guy with
the METS, he owner of the mess. He's really starting
to bother me. He doesn't understand when he spent that
money on Juan Soto. Now he wants to reduce the
payroll and do it through the draft once he did
what he did with one. So he's in bed with
the guy and he's going to keep going the same way.
He's got to get the people and the players to
(25:31):
support Loan Soto. He's going to keep spending and spending
a little bit like the Dodgers. I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Well, I saw listen.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
I thought what Cohen said about the Dodgers was he
was like, hey, he didn't rip him like Steinbrenner's kid did.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
He's like, yeah, he praised them for what they did.
He didn't rip them, and they spent a lot of
money and he praised them.
Speaker 6 (25:54):
I mean, yes, he has to do the same thing.
He can't just back off. Now, Oh my god, I
can't believe. Obviously he's an intelligent man, but somebody I
don't believe.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
I didn't see the quote you're talking about. But I
don't believe he's gonna back down. He's a fan of
the Mets, and you know every but angry Bill. You
know that in you know, next off season, maybe the
Mets think they're a picture away and there'll be a
picture who's a free agent, and Coan will get a
bug up his you know, took us, and then they'll
go out and sign the guy.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
That's how it works.
Speaker 6 (26:26):
There's a lot of articles online about how he wants
to back off and get the pay.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
I don't I don't believe it. He can say anything.
It's spring training. You can say anything crap you want. Now, Well,
proof is when you have to make those decisions.
Speaker 6 (26:40):
Well, he's got to keep his mouth shut, bet and
keep spending. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Well, no talk shows. He can keep talking all he wants.
It's good for my business.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
I mean, I.
Speaker 6 (26:51):
Think he was complaining about his attendance. He doesn't he's
been in baseball for long and he doesn't know. He's
not the Chicago Cubs, he's not the Boston Red Sox.
The fans show up no matter what, they don't show up.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Well, but his argument was with the Mets, like if
the assumption was if the Mets ever get a good
team again, that the people will show up. And the
Mets had a good although they didn't play great at
the beginning year, but they had a good team last
year and the fans weren't really there.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
So that's what he was.
Speaker 6 (27:19):
It's just it's not a type of place they're going
to get packed with fans. Okay, and let's say some
unique thing going on. It's same nineteen sixty nine, This
ain't seventy three. He just he doesn't understand that it's
a crappy place to go.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Okay, well it is. I say it's a new ballpark,
but it's actually been around for a while now. But
the Mets.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
The Mets drew fewer fans than Toronto, and Toronto sucked
last year.
Speaker 6 (27:46):
So look the Yankee Stadium. Watched the game of Yankee
Stadium and the pan around the view and then there's
empty seats all over the place at the Yankee Stadium.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Well, the thing to at Yankee Stadium, and it's just
the same. There is a problem everywhere. They tried for
the aristocrats. They in these ballparks, they have these fine restaurants.
My cousin lives in Connecticut. She gets Yankee tickets a
couple of times a year. She goes to the game
and she just eats in the restaurant behind Home Place.
She has tickets right behind Home played Bill. She didn't
even watch the game. She's watching her on TV, eating seafood.
Speaker 6 (28:17):
She wants to look like you, Ben, don't worry about.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
It, Keet blind Scott pick On. Immediately I get out
of here. How dare you? Let's say hello to Dick,
Dick and Dayton. Hello Dick, Well sure you? If I
was any better I'd be a banger, but not a
Cincinnati bank. Are they going to pay your mar Chase Dick?
Speaker 7 (28:39):
I don't know, but boy, it's it's not good. It's
get the station's bad. If he leaves. I don't think
anybody will watch the Bengals because him, to you know,
Joe Burrow to him is a it's a light, it's
a it's a it's great. I just hope they don't
get he leaves. And you know, I'm still concerned, you know,
(29:01):
Miles Garrett, Yeah, that would you be.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Willing Dick and Dayton to throw a couple bucks in?
Speaker 4 (29:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (29:08):
You know I was that. We're talking on the Cleveland
station about Aaron Rodgers and maybe Matthew Stafford going to Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Yeah, I'd like to see it. You'd like to see
which one would you prefer?
Speaker 7 (29:25):
Aaron Rodgers?
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Aaron Rodgers?
Speaker 8 (29:27):
Right?
Speaker 2 (29:28):
What about Kirk Cousins You want him?
Speaker 7 (29:30):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Oh, you take him too?
Speaker 7 (29:33):
You know what?
Speaker 2 (29:34):
You know what the Bengals.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
I know you're more of a Browns fan, but you
love all things Ohio to you, Dick and Dayton, Ohio
is a sovereign nation. Correct that you don't even leave Ohio?
You love Ohio so much. Ohio has everything you need.
You don't need to go to Pennsylvania or you know,
Indiana or Illinois as of the states around you.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Just stay in Ohio. Right, that's perfect? Yeah, I guess.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
So how about the Kettering Banjo Society get Back Together,
or the Strummers or the Strings.
Speaker 7 (30:02):
Strummers or the Star City Dolcimers in Miamisburg and Debbie
Debbie runs that we have. We're going to do three
or four shows this year down in Dayton.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
That probably doesn't how about you do one for charity
for the Bengals. You can do and all the money
raised will go to the Jamar Chase Marching and Chowder Society.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
How about that?
Speaker 7 (30:24):
Yeah? And you know another thing I was so proud of.
You know, they got the monkey off his back. Ryan
Day was dead and buried after Michigan. But boy, they
just they just showed the Ohio They were one of
the better teams. You know. I thought it was good, you.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Know, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure for sure? All right,
Well everything else good with you there, Dick?
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (30:48):

Speaker 7 (30:58):
He did the pre show and the Cavaliers Jeff Phelps
