Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ding Dong boom Shaka laka. It's our number four, our
number four, the original Recipe Podcast. Happy Thursday to you,
and here in our number four for this little exercise,
you are Cooper cup wide receiver, Cooper Cup's career counselor
which NFL employer do you direct your client, the former

(00:23):
Ram to sign with. We'll discuss that. Also, the Buffalo
Bills quarterback Josh Allen said that he was looking for
a team friendly deal. He left five million dollars on
the table with the Bills. That is blank. That is blank. Also,
Mac Jones has signed a contract with the forty nine ers.

(00:46):
What do you make of mac Jones as a fit
with the forty nine ers. We'll go there as well.
All of it's coming your way right now here. It
is our number four. Have a wonderful day. Is the
cup half full or is it half empty? Inquiring minds
would like to know. Welcome in the beginning of yet

(01:09):
another hour of the Benmalor Show. We are in the
air everywhere in dreamland as we break the silence of
the night and early morning hours, coast to coast, border
to border and beyond on the vast and hillatiously powerful
microphones of fs are amminating live from the symphony, the

(01:35):
Symphony of Slang as we're broadcasting live from the Tyraq
dot com studios. Tiraq dot com will help you get there.
An unmatched selection, bast free shipping, free road hazard protection,
and over ten thousand recommended in stars that's approved by
ohio al. He's giving the thumbs up there, ohio a

(01:57):
ti raq dot com the way I are buying show'd
be so our lead this hour is from our in
depth team coverage, all about the shuffle, the roster shuffle,
and one player in particular that was my favorite player
in the NFL for one season, the Turk paying a

(02:20):
visit to the Super Bowl Hero. No trade was consummated,
so if you hadn't heard the news, as we are
in the transaction period of the NFL calendar, turns out
that Cooper Cup can no longer ram it all day
and ram it all night. The Rams have decommissioned Cooper Cup.
He was fired from his job this week, Cup becoming

(02:41):
an unrestricted free agent. So the glass or in this case,
the cup, is half empty. The cup not runneth over.
But that said, there are a number of teams that
are said to be knocking on the door of Cooper
Cup looking to give him some gameful employment. So let
us discuss the question now for this little exercise, I

(03:04):
have now deputized you Cooper Cup's career counselor you're his advisor.
Which NFL employer do you direct your client? So I've
got Chevrolet, Trophy and Caddy and we will combine all
of these things together and we are gonna make the

(03:27):
Gobba Ghoul. We're gonna make the Goba Ghuls what We're
gonna make a right, So to lead off here, I
am activating the Mallard think Tank. Now I very rarely
activate the Malar think Tank, but I am activating the
math of think tank. That's how much I appreciate Cooper
Cup winning the greatest Super Bowl of my adult life,
beating the Mighty Bengals in the Super Bowl there. How

(03:49):
great was that? So Cooper Cup is an acquired taste,
and this is one of those things. And I've gotten email.
I had a guy who's a Patriots fan, one of
our listeners in Boston, or he's not in Boston, he's
in that area, and he's sent me his emails a
big Pats fans, Oh, Cooper Cups be perfect for the Patriots.
They need that number one receiver and they need a
guy that will go in there with Drake May and

(04:12):
dominate and the Pats will win the division. I'm reading
this and I didn't write back to this guy because
I'm a loser. But I read it and I'm like,
this guy's will I thro I shouldn't say this. He's
a good piss, but he's a low information fit Cooper Cupp.
If you think Cooper Cup at this point is a
game changer, he's not right. My reality is different. My

(04:32):
reality is different. Cooper Cupp has not been that guy
for a while now, for one season. And this is
one of those things about human nature. You make your
mind up. People made their mind up that Cooper Cup's
great in twenty twenty one, and he was historically good,
one of the all time great seasons. Unfortunately, he's a

(04:53):
one hit wonder. Cupp has missed of the last fifty
one regular season games. He has missed eight. He's missed
an entire season out of out of three, so he's
missed one out of the last three seasons completely with injury.
If he was a car Cooper Cup would be a
nineteen fifty seven turquoise Chevrolet bel Air that looks wonderful

(05:17):
until you realize it doesn't have any tires and it's
sitting on wooden blocks on the driveway with a bunch
of weeds around it and needs someone from tire Rack
to help him out and then needs a new injury.
But the outside looks good, right, it's a beautiful turquoise
paint job. Nineteen fifty seven Chevy bel Air. Beautiful car,

(05:37):
but convertible, too convertible, but it doesn't work. Now, that's it.
If you read the fortune cookie on a guy like
Cooper Cup, it's a better a diamond with a flaw
than a pebble without, right, So he said, well, Cooper
Cups a diamond and there's a flaw there, and you
take that rather than than a pebble. That's pervy. But

(05:58):
it's a pretty big flaw, right, it's pretty flaw And
and the other issue with Cooper Cup is he's now
free to roam anyway. My guy, who's a Patriot fan,
I'd be surprised if he goes to the pitcher. I
don't think that would be the worst situation for Cooper Cup.
But we did activate the Malard think tank. And so
my advice for Cooper Cup is barbecue and chicken wings,

(06:21):
right Barbarie that be Kansas City for the barbecue, and
also the Ben Mallard chicken fingers and Buffalo for the
chicken wing. You go, you're at this point, You're just
a possession receiver. That's all. You are. Possession receiver. So
on a good team with a stud quarterback like Mahomes

(06:43):
or Josh Allen, that would make sense. That would make
a lot of sense. It sounds Baltimore's all. Baltimore loves
washed up wide receivers, so Baltimore would be good too,
because they love that kind of ballplayer, the guy that's
done but used to be good. It sounds, though at
this hour, based on what we were hearing overnight, that
the two teams that are near the top for Cooper

(07:05):
Cup are Seattle. That's because he's from that area, that's
his homeland, went to college there, and Jacksonville, which I
believe is in the Bermuda Triangle of the NFL. But
Liam Cohne is another one of these Sean McVay disciples
who is now the head coach in Dude All Cowny. Yeah,

(07:29):
I know you're excited by that. We should find out soon.
I would think this is not going to drag on
like Aaron Rodgers. We will not get any tabloid photos
of Cooper Cup pondering life as he wanders around the
beach somewhere. I think this will be something that happens
rather quickly. Now, furthermore, we mentioned Buffalo as a possibility

(07:50):
for Cooper Cup and Josh Allen we mentioned his name. Now,
the Bills quarterback told the reporters that he had requested
his rent, his agent and the people representing him in
the negotiation. He just signed an extension. He said he
didn't want in any way to negatively impact the Buffalo
Bill salary capturing negotiations. Then he gave what we call

(08:13):
a humdinger of a quote. What is the humdinger of
a quote? I'll tell you so, Josh Allen said, when
you start getting these fairly big numbers throughout the entire league,
it's weird to say this, but that means he's about
to Everything he said is a is a lie. Before that,
he said, what's five million more gonna do for my

(08:35):
life that I can't already do?

Speaker 2 (08:37):
Right?

Speaker 1 (08:38):
Now, Josh Allen said, I live a pretty good life.
I got a house, I got a car. We're good
close quote. Okay, so quarterback Josh Allen making sure he
let everyone in the media know and the Bill's mafia
that he took a team friendly deal with Buffalo that

(08:59):
is black. So I have in that blank I had
jotted down on my little notes app trophy worthy. Now
I don't watch this award show, but I'm aware of
this award they give out because I think it's one
of the stupidest things out there. So why doesn't Josh
Allen win the sp Award for Profile Encourage That Profile

(09:21):
Encourage award? Josh Allen, if I read that right, and
I'm pretty sure that he said it, I don't think
I took it out of context. Josh Allen was fishing
for compliments. He's fishing for compliments after getting a record
breaking three hundred and thirty million dollar extension. The man
is a living saint. He took a three hundred and

(09:43):
thirty million dollar contract and wants you to know he
could have gotten five million dollars more. Somehow, he's going
to have to make ends meet at fifty million dollars
a year. Heroic, that is heroic. He is the superhero
that we didn't know we needed. Josh auntin selfless, altruistic

(10:05):
class act. Josh Allen unbelievable. Bravo, bravo. All right, now,
last thing elsewhere. We have a new quarterback who's an
old quarterback in a new location. The forty nine ers
have made a move at the quarterback position. In another
sign that they are not trying to compete, the forty

(10:28):
nine ers have agreed to a contract with quarterback Mac Jones.
That's right, former Jaguar and former New England Patriot, the
guy that got Bill Belichick fired Mac Jones. So Mac
Jones gets a two year, seven million dollar contract. The deal,
we're told includes five million guaranteed a maximum value of

(10:49):
eleven million. And we are in the era of the
NFL where that's trump change. So what do you make
of Mac Jones and the fit with the forty nine ers.
So Mac Jones somehow has managed to play in fifty
two games. He has started forty nine of the fifty
two games throughout his four years in the NFL. However,

(11:11):
Mac Jones at this point, if you look at the
chapter of the book that we are in. He is
now a major DOMO. He is a caddy. He is
locked in backup quarterback. However, the scary reality, I know
those guys like Terry in England and Alameda Loo and

(11:31):
the other forty nine are contingent that are fans of
this show, and some of them are good friends, but
they don't want whom in this Mac Jones is a
broken bone, a twisted ankle, a torn ligament away from
being QB one. Rock Purty gets hurt, and Rock purtys no,
no basket of candy, but he gets hurt, and then

(11:55):
you got Mac Jones. Now, Kyle Shanahan had a chance
to draft Mac Jones the Mac four years ago, way
back in twenty twenty one, and he said, no things,
I don't want you. And then again there was a
chance to trade for mac Jones. Patriots were gonna get
rid of him, and Kyle Shannon said, we're good, but

(12:18):
here we are so generally speak, if Mac Jones is
playing quarterback for your football team, you're not in a
good place. You're in a deep dark place. If Mac
Jones is playing and I get why you would go
to the forty nine ers. Remember Sam Darnold stopped by there,
didn't really play much, and then he moved on and
eventually got the opportunity. But mac Jones, looking to get

(12:42):
that career renaissance didn't work out in Jacksonville, obviously didn't
work out with the Patriots, get that razzle dazzle back
by hanging out with the forty nine ERDs. The other
problem is the Niners are going to be mediocre at
best here right They're not trying to win. They're breaking
the roster apart. It's a hot mess by the for
the Niners right now in terms of there's more players leaving.

(13:03):
There's a mass exodus than players coming in to the
forty nine ers at this point. And as we mentioned
earlier in the show, it's a big debacle because you're
about to play. You're gonna pay brock Purty a lot
of money. And we know Brock doesn't elevate people around him,
doesn't make players around him better. But if he's around

(13:25):
good players, he'll be fine. But you're getting rid of
those good players, and so you're gonna pay this guy
fifty million dollars a year, whatever it is, and then
you're you're taking away the players around him, and so
he is going to be like an open sore pussing
out goo and everyone's oh my god, I can't believe
they paid this guy. What are they doing? That's what

(13:47):
they're gonna be saying. Mark my words, I'm never wrong

Real fast?

Speaker 3 (16:23):
Bill?

Speaker 1 (16:24):
No? Now, Bill that it's me Ben. Bill's Bill's gone.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
What can I ask you?

Speaker 3 (16:28):
Ben?

Speaker 1 (16:29):
Oh, you're gonna ask me? But yeah, Bill's not available.
He's out. He's smoking a cigar right now. Is Bill

I don't think Bill. It's not in the budget. So

Speaker 4 (16:40):
All right, just double checking?

Speaker 1 (16:41):
Yeah, we gotta get a date on that, right, everyone demands.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
I told you yesterday.

Speaker 5 (16:44):
Are you ready?

Speaker 1 (16:46):
No? No, I didn't even look at it. I'm gonna
do it. I'm telling you. My days are pretty pretty packed.
But I will. I will get to I will get
to it, I promise. So a foul mouth, a legend
in trouble with the federal federal government kind of we'll
explain what that's all about. We'll take some calls as well,

(17:06):
and the whole deal, a lot of NFL activity, And
we go to the phones right now, and a man
who's always angry. It's in his name, Angry Bill, Hello,
Angry Bill.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
How's everybody doing? It's just a glorious warning to hear
you people talking and spouting out all this news makes
me so excited at my old age. Ben, how your
how'd your cy Young Award winner? Or a Yankee pitch
you're doing? Tell me, tell me about him, tell me
about the scammies pulled on the Yankees.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
I'm not a Yankee, I'm not a Yankee fan, but
I think it's actually brilliant. I think it's something you
would do. That's the kind of move you would do.
You would opt in after opting out realizing, hey, maybe
I got a problem with my arm. Let me get
this one hundred and forty four million dollars that's left
on my contract.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
What a well, it's unbelievable. The guy's a piece of garbage.
I told you was the piece of garbage for you
wanted him to be a cy Young Award winner.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
I don't. I don't vote for the cy Young. He
won the cy Young Award, and Derek Cole is my
favorite Yankee. His lack of hustle that could be his
last moment as a Yankee when he couldn't even bother
to cover first base in the World Series is such.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
A perfect first base. He hurt his arm, he was.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
He definitely didn't. He definitely didn't his arm covering first
base because he didn't cover first base. He couldn't have
heard his arm covering first base because he didn't cover
first base.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
The Yankees are a dumpster fire. They go into the
season they don't know who the third basement is. They
moved the third baseman the second because they didn't know
who their second basement was. They're just complete dumpster fires.
The Yankees are so inept at what they're trying to
do it's unbelievable.

Speaker 1 (18:57):
And yet still win ninety plus games, and they'll be
in the conversation.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
You got it wrong this time, Ben, They're going to
be horrible right from the beginning.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
They well, they're not going to be horrible.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
They'll be where's the where's the pitching? Where where's there?
Where's their hitting? Come?

Speaker 1 (19:12):
They just signed a two hundred million dollars Max Freed
as the number one start Radone's fine in the regular season.
I wouldn't trust him in the pleasant league gets hurt?
Uh got that.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
Yankees or a bunch of a bunch of garbage shoe
where wants to become a player?

Speaker 3 (19:28):
Coach?

Speaker 1 (19:30):
Oh? Is that right? I thought that was illegal. I
don't think you can do that anymore, can't you? I
don't think you can't.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
Why not? What's what's the player coach? He's going to
teach the guy, the young guys how to cover first base.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
To the guys had a hut?

Speaker 2 (19:45):
Guy, the Yankees are I'm telling you they're a joke.

Speaker 3 (19:48):
You know.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
I like your attitude. We haven't even gotten the opening day.
I like that. This is solid. This is nutting New
Jersey at its finest right here.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
You tell me where their hitting's coming from. Where's your
pitching coming from? Thank goodness, they shine this guy Freed.
Thank goodness they shigned this guy.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
Well, be careful what you asked for? Who knows? I
read a story, you see this, this is oh, this
is red meat for angry bill Yankee guy, so I
read If I read this right, Max Freed is not
going to pitch opening to Yankees open up at home
because it would mess up his routine. So he's not
available to pitch until game two. They can't adjust the

(20:25):
guy's routine so he can pitch on opening day. They
got all the spring training and they didn't plan it out,
so they got to pitch somebody else on the opening,
I'm how stupid is.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
That he listened to me? How nept and how ridiculous
this whole franchise is.

Speaker 1 (20:41):
Well, it's all a vunerable though. It's not just the Yankees.
They all do the same thing, the same mindset is
all over baseball. The Dodgers do the same thing, and
they won the World Series. But it's all ridiculous. He's
so stupid.

Speaker 2 (20:53):
Let's talk about being a little bet on the Dodgers.
Let's figure out how many games are gonna win. You
put one thousand dollars on game, you'll make a fortune.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
I wouldn't do that. That wouldn't do it.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
You're you're betting Benny and his pennies. Tell us how
good and how much money you could make.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
Well, you're assuming that everything's gonna go right. I mean,
there is a world where the Dodgers do not and
they're gonna be heavy favorites in every game. So I
tried that years ago, betting on big favorites. When when paid,
I'd a I think the statute of limitations up. I
had a bookie, and I had every time, like Pedro
Martinez started for the Red Sox or Randy Johnson, who

(21:35):
was a great pitcher at that time. Like, I bet
on those guys and I got my my, you know
what handed to me because they lost just enough to
screw the whole thing up.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
So that's a tendency that happen, doesn't it?

Speaker 1 (21:48):
He does it? Does? I mean? I thought, you know,
these guys win most of the time, so I'll just
bet on him every start, and they lost enough together
where it's screwed up my my finances and that. Hey,
but you get to watch the Hey, you get to
see the rotting carcass of Paul Goldschmidt with the Yankees

(22:10):
this year, so you get him as well. Congratulations, it's
another it's another risual happening.

Speaker 2 (22:16):
Roll over again.

Speaker 1 (22:18):
Yeah, old guy's for the.

Speaker 2 (22:20):
First base and I think they're gonna do fantasticous right.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
Good complaint. I'm glad you're okay. We didn't hear from
you for a couple days. We thought you were gone,
but I'm glad you're there.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
Hey, listen, I'm gonna I'm gonna give you a quick, quick, quick,
quick quick story. Ten days out of having a pacemaker
put into my part, on Tuesday, I worked twelve hours
lugging people back and forth to the TPC twelve hours

Speaker 1 (26:13):
You know, you don't sound that bad like you sounded
worse than this. I think you're okay. I don't know
what you're doing right now, but whatever you're doing, you
don't sound.

Speaker 7 (26:21):
It's like I'm trying to frog jump over in tokare
Color of the Year and games are Winner of the year.
Back to actual Genian Metricks colored Year and just making
stuff about Gingian Metwick. That's rocket stands, that's rockety stands.
It seems being the smirched you need to be besmirched authentically,
not besmirched illegitimate.

Speaker 6 (26:42):
But don't have to go the way.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
There's a genie player. So you know, Nick Saban is
the greatest college football coach in the modern times. He's
he quit because of Ni l and all that. But
Nick Saban is in trouble with the federal government. Multiple
federal communication complaints of Nick Saban on college game day, Yeah,

(27:07):
apparently they were. They were chronicled in the media and Alabama,
where Nick Saban is a godlike figure. And here's the
odd thing. I believe I'm correct on this. Now. We
are governed by the FCC because we are on the
commercial airwaves of radio stations all over the place. And
if I f up, I've been told by my bosses

(27:30):
that it's conceivable, even though I'm in the safe harbor,
that we would be responsible for six hundred radio stations
being fine because we're on like six hundred stations, so
we'd be screwed, right, But cable television is not governed
by the FCC, as far as I know, it is
not because it's something you have to pay for to
get access to. Now, if this happened on like regular

(27:51):
over the air TV, it would be different. But Nick Saban,
according to the story I'm reading here, he said, he
said the the word s. I think it might have
been shipped. He said, that twice and he used the
A word that starts with B. He must be a
fan of female dogs once and anyways, person filed a

(28:13):
complaint with the FCC because he said the S word
and the B word and I can't say that. And
he was demanding a million dollar fine or more. That
was just one of many complaints that were filed with
the FCC. How many of these people are bitter Alabama
fans upset that Nick Saban left Alabama? How many of
these people are Auburn fans? And how many of these

(28:36):
people are just fans of some other random Southeastern Conference
school just trying to get back at Nick Saban? Right?
And I mean there's a thing. There's a bunch of
different complaints here, something with the Ohio State during the
Ohio State Texas game with Desmond Howard and McAfee used
inappropriate language at a family event. Oh my god, believable. Anyway,

(29:02):
it is the Ben Mahlor Show. Good luck to Nick.
I hope he'll I hope he'll be okay. Now we
go to Mike the Leprechaun in Boston against my better judgment.
Hello Mike the Leprechaun, Well.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
Good morning. I also have two golden tickets. By the way,
I'm sure you.

Speaker 1 (29:22):

Speaker 2 (29:26):
Is that how it works? Well?

Speaker 1 (29:28):
How else are we supposed to know? I mean seriously,
like I mean, I know, I like to say that
I'm a distant relative of No Stredenis and friend of
a friend of nosdam I screwed that. I screwed up
the line because of you, Mike. I am a distant
relative of Nostra Damas and friend of No Stretenis, although
I don't even know if I'm a friend of his anymore.

(29:49):
He's so upset that I ripped his favorite quarterback Gino Smith,
and now I've taken a shot at his new favorite quarterback,
Sam Darnold. So all right here, you don what did
