And another update, the obligatory mallermontal log on the life and times of AJ Brown. What can brown do for you? So the latest on this, the disgruntled wide receiver, the buzz, the last day or so has been well, either the Patriots or the Ravens. The partner in this dance. Trade part for Eagles wide receiver AJ Brown. The theory is the Eagles do not want to trade AJ Brown to an NFC team. They will only trade him to an AFC team. But wait, there's more. So then state funded and sponsored NFL Network tells us that AJ Brown's options are to either go to the

7:03Patriots or stay in Philadelphia. The Ravens have already been eliminated. They have been decommissioned from this conversation. Allegedly. That's a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question. The Eagles. If this chatter is accurate in the echo chamber, the Eagles will only trade AJ Brown to an AFC team and it's the Patriots or nothing. What do you make of this? All right, so my views on this. I've got Passport, Acapuco, and Barnes and Noble. And we will combine all of these things together. And we are going to call a spade, a spade, and then we're going to have some GABAGOO. And then we'll have a big send off and all that. So first of all, with all of these, all of these stories, all of these stories will go slow,

8:03slow walk. It's like a Sunday drive. Please go faster. Come on. You're driving slow. I'm trying to get where I'm going. I like to drive slow. It's Sunday. I want to drive. Go faster. It's a fluid situation. A lot of moving parts. However, we have a show to worry about right now in the Eagles in this story. I believe they have a commercial driver's license and here's why they're driving the bus, the struggle bus, they're driving right off a cliff. Now, here's why they cannot keep a J Brown, they cannot. I don't care what they're saying out of Philadelphia, they cannot keep him. He doesn't want to be there. You want volunteers, you don't want hostages. You've done this little dipsy-doo the last couple years and it hasn't, you know, last year it didn't work.

9:03They won the Super Bowl the year before. Okay, fine. And that was Barclay went bananas and all that went bonkers in the backfield. This has been going on for a couple years, breaking up is hard to do. They've made songs about it. Nevertheless, it is time to stamp your passport on a visit to the sovereign nation of Splitsville and just take your passport, get it stamp, you'll visit the sovereign nation of Splitsville. And if these reports are true, that Philadelphia will only trade him to the AFC, they're a bunch of dingleberries. Like, you clearly think that the guy's going to be great and that you're going to get burned by him. He's going to become your boogeyman. Why not trade if AJ Brown, if the 49ers or the Rams or one of the other contenders in the NFC say, Hey, we want this guy and we'll pay you whatever it takes in terms of draft picks. What are you doing? I'm worried about AJ Brown.

10:04If you're going to trade him because he's a problem, wouldn't he be a problem wherever he goes? Now, isn't that the way this works? So if they won't trade him to anyone other than AFC teams, why not just see if the Broncos want him or the chargers or somebody like that. But right now they say it's the Patriots or nothing. That's it. And that should be music to the ears of the Pats, right? His price, if this is accurate, is cratering and you got that slick, how he rose meant the GM and Philadelphia who's stuck between the hammer and the anvil, right? He is. I mean, he's got very little wiggle room. He's back to himself and the team into a corner because you got the unhappy star who started to check out and you're limiting where he can go. So the market place has been limited. Why would you do that? It's the word I have is it starts with H hubris, hubris. If I'm the GM, they're Elliott Wolf of the Patriots.

11:05I'm like, okay, I'm not lower. I'm not hiring. I'm not going higher on my offer. I might lowball you. I might lower my offer because what are the Eagles going to do? They're going to keep a guy who they should have gotten rid of at the trade deadline last year, who doesn't want to be their hates the people in the building and all that. Come on. Please. All right. Secondly, to Minnesota, we go, this is a, but bonkers story is absolute bonkers here. And it's another one I saw that says, is that, is that accurate? So Anthony Edwards, that's a basketball player and a pretty good one, pretty good. So Anthony Edwards said, if he had his way, he would win a championship and then say, buy, buy and leave the NBA for good. Now is he going to retire? No, no, he's not playing over time. He's going to change sports. He said that if the Timberwell's win a championship, I assume he's in Minnesota in the next

12:08couple of years, he will leave the NFL or leave the NBA for the NFL who leave the NBA will pursue a career in the National Football League in a random YouTube video. The star of the Minnesota Timberwell's Anthony Edwards said the, he made it. He said, listen, he thought about being a receiver in the NFL if he gets a championship in the next six years. So the next, his Minnesota goes out this year and they're not one of the favorites, right? And I want to be a good record, playoff team and all that. And I want to favor the Timberwell's, but if somehow a bunch of guys get twisted ankles and tear ligaments in their knees and all that, then all of a sudden you win a championship. It happened for the Toronto Raptors, the Milwaukee Bucks, it could happen for you. Edwards said, quote, I'm trying to find a way to get a ring. He said, once I get one and Edwards followed up, he said, well, that would be cool.

13:10I'll go play football, especially if I get one while I'm still young, he said, and he's 24 right now. So if I get one before I turn 30, I'm definitely going to try to play football. And I'd probably play receiver. I might try to go quarterback, probably backup quarterback, he said, okay, well, why would you, you're a star. Anyway, I'll just read the quote and then I'll react to it. All right, I said quarterback, probably backup quarterback because I don't really have to play unless the starter gets hurt. Okay, that sounds good. All right, question Anthony Edwards saying that he would go play football. He wins an NBA championship before he turns 30, he's playing the numbers game on that. Does this pass the old smell test or are we calling some shenanigans on this? So yet again, I turn back to the schnauz, the schnauz hola, yeah, this is, I smell something,

14:14this doesn't pass the smell test. I know those Minnesota winners are no joke and you get hair on your chest and your tougher and all that. But clearly, Anthony Edwards is a daydreamer and a night thinker. If he's just enjoying himself, he might be enjoying some aquapuco gold as well, but he's clearly just vibing out man. He's going for I'd like to see this as a talk show host. I think it would be great. Would he, I'd assume he's from Georgia, he wants to play for the Falcons, nobody else wants to play for the Falcons. He would want to play for the Falcons or would he try to play both, that would be impossible, right? Well, you only play once a week back in the old NFL, that would work down sanders would play baseball and then show up, slide in and play football. And sometimes he wouldn't practice with the team, he'd just show up and play and that would be it. It was a guy named Brian Jordan who was a safety for the Falcons and the Rams and he had

15:16a similar setup as I remember, I might be wrong on that, but as I remember it, a similar setup. So anyway, it would be great, it would be a freak show attraction, be fun to follow, step right up, see the NBA superstar, try to run past sauce gardener, yeah, that'll go well. See, offense is there and for the good quarterback and not, but this has to be a just a kick to the nuts of NFL players, like how disrespectful is that? Like, if you're a real football player and you've been playing ball since you were a little kid, a little punk kid, pop Warner, all that stuff, high school, college, getting paid NIL money, go to the pros. And here's Anthony Edwards who thinks he can just be like a paratrooper and parachute in, like it's a pickup game at the YMCA, you know, here I am, put me in. Now at his age, he would be even at his 24 right now, which is not, you know, a young guy. He would be behind the eight ball, like a goalie, if you said, hey, I got this guy wants

16:18to play goalie and he wants to play for the Minnesota, wow, okay, good. Yeah, but he doesn't have any equipment. He likes to use, he wants to stop the shots with a pool noodle. Well, you can't play goalie with a pool noodle, but that's what he likes. That's what he uses, but he's not allowed to do that. What are you doing? Hey, I get aunt, he's in joy live. Whether it's the aquapuco goal. Maybe he loved the Lion King and he's singing a Kuna Makata. There are no troubles. Meanwhile, the reality says there is a better chance of Anthony Edwards playing professional football and having some success. There is a better chance that a squish mellow unicorn will win the Kentucky Derby than Anthony Edwards becoming a good NFL player. So good luck. Okay, it's possible that the unicorn swish mallow will go out and win the Kentucky Derby maybe in the triple crown. I wouldn't bet on it. I wouldn't bet on it. All right, now final thought to baseball.

17:22So I got a couple of messages people upset that I'm not that into the world baseball classic. I did my weekly segment with my guys in Kansas City and Bob and Dusty and Dusty in particular, very upset, very upset that I'm not into the world baseball classic. I don't hate it. I'm just not Jonesed up for it. I'm not all fired up for the world baseball classic. What's wrong with me? Yeah. Well, I did see a story that caught my attention and I'm going to share it with you right now. I don't know if you saw this or not. Speaking to reporters before the start of pool play, which I think is today, the 2026 world baseball classic, the Dodgers star, the face of baseball, Shohei Otani, he made it clear. I mean, it's not about rest. You know, it's so hard to stand out there and play baseball for three hours. Oh my God. These guys are doing God's work. Well, Otani was asked about rest and how you juggle everything. And he said, this quote, this is the money quote from Shohei Otani.

18:23I have a copy of it, but it's in Japanese, so we're not going to play it. Otani said, unless you speak Japanese, I'd play it for you, but you didn't. Otani said, taking rest takes courage and skipping it all together is another form of practice. He said, now the question, how do you parse the words of Dodger star Shohei Otani, his comments on getting rest, he said, taking rest takes courage and skipping it all together is another form of practice. So I used my star trek, Klingon Dakota ring, which also works for star baseball players. And I figured out that this means the way I interpret my understanding of it, my understanding of it, that Otani is saying that rest is not a weakness. It takes courage to prioritize rest and that not practicing is still productive.

19:23It's practice in discipline, self-awareness and long-term optimization. And the other thing that I take away from Otani is he's changed. That Otani has been in the major leagues long enough that he has become Americanized. This is the Americanization of Shohei Otani. It's like he's quoting a self-health book that he got at Barnes and Noble or something like that. He's been playing in the big leagues long enough now that he has joined the tabernacle, the church of load management. He's done it. Now I've never been to Japan, I get there at some point, if I'm lucky enough, but in Japan I do know that they have a word, I think it's called, I believe it's pronounced Kerochi, K-A-R-O-S-H-I, which literally means working yourself to death. It's part of the culture in Japan. You have to work, and if you don't work, you're looked down upon.

20:29We're here, if you work a lot, you're looked down upon in America, right? My generation, you were supposed to work hard, but not anymore. And now we have Otani, who it sounds, again, this is my interpretation that he's treating a day off like he's being asked to donate a kidney or something, it's very confused. It's that whole cult, and you get indoctrinated in it, and the next thing you know, he'll be meditating on the beach in Malibu, and talking about energy, balance, and all that. And it's basically saying that it's perfectly fine to skip practice, not a game, not a game. We're here talking about practice, not a game, it's like Alan Iverson. And the guys in baseball, I know these baseball players, these baseball players, they often have to have a recovery day after tying their cleats to tight. One of my all-time favorite baseball injuries, there was a player named Richie Sexton, a big slugger played for the Brewers and the Diamondbacks years ago.

21:33And he showed up to spring training, I think he was with the Brewers. And he missed a bunch of workouts and all that. People were very concerned about Richie Sexton, they thought that he had some major health problems, he had a lot of migraine headaches. And they determined that the clubhouse guy had given him a hat that was too small. Yeah, I'm not, I'm not making that up, I'm not. It's one of the all-time great baseball injury stories, but anyway, telling me that rest is courageous, I don't disagree, like in this generation that it is courageous, like the work life balance and all that, and I've got guys quitting the NFL when they're 27 and being celebrated for it. It's like the greatest thing in the world, way to go, you live your whole life to be in the NFL, then quit when you're 27, and that's the way to do it, yeah, why not. But to say it's courageous, it's kind of like a chef, the mindset to me is like a chef

22:33telling me that giving me an empty plate and saying the most, it's actually what I did is I deconstructed the five-course meal. Well, I know, but there's nothing there, but yeah, I deconstructed it, but it is the essence of the five-course meal is there, well, no, it's an empty plate, but no, again, you don't understand, I deconstructed it, and so that's, that's, that is, it is the Ben Mallor Show, if you would like to be part, you can check in right now, 877-99 on Fox 877-9966369, you can be part of the live radio program, also on X, at Ben Mallor, that's at Ben Mallor, if you want to be part of the show, that way, and straight ahead, we have, now later as well, we have sports jeopardy, we look forward to that, and right up the block, and around the corner, we have the coupe scoop on entertainment, hooray for holly, well, hooray for holly, we'll, we'll get to that, and we will do it, next.

But I do got some news for you, man. Oh, we got news here. News from our buddy phase. Okay. Breaking news. Here we go. I just came back from the future. 2027. LA. Super Bowl.

Hey, at least I'm not trying to buy two point conversion. There's nothing to do with the Seahawks beating the Rams twice.

Yeah, so this is basically a, they figure out a way to put their consciousness into a fake animal so that they can talk to other animals. Stars Dave Franco, Meryl Streep, John Hamm, just a few of the big names in this one. Voices anyway. I would love to get into voiceover stuff. That's easy money. That is so easy. God, that would be great. Yeah, that would be great. Another movie out this weekend is The Bride. Yes, this is about The Bride of Frankenstein. But it's not from the same universe as the Guillermo del Toro movie that is nominated for Best Picture. This one is a Maggie Gyllenhaal production. She's the director. It starts Christian Bale. Oh, new ideas still. They're just doing old Frankenstein stuff.

38:08Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I guess. There's going to be even less with these deals, right, with all these companies merging. Is it even less like this? Yeah, you're probably right. Jake Gyllenhaal is in this, her brother, Penelope Cruz, Annette Benning, Peter Starr's Guard, and Christian Bale. So far, it's got pretty good reviews from critics. That is in theaters this weekend. And moving over to television. This Sunday on HBO at 9 p.m. Also available to stream on HBO Max is a new comedy called, sorry, 10 p.m. It is called Rooster.

I didn't see that. Yeah. Yeah. Last shows April 30th. He's in the Epstein file. So he's been 25 years. He had a 25 year run in Vegas. Is that why he's going to kicked off though? Is because he's in the files or because no one goes to his shows? Probably a combination of both. Yeah. I don't know. I mean, yeah. I don't know if they said it specifically because of that, but he's cooked. So we've got to find some new magicians to toss in the hotels in Vegas. It is the Ben Mallor Show.
