Speaker 2 (00:24):
This is the best of the Ben Maler Show on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Another night and more gossip and innuendo from the NFL
world about a certain coach or two. The moving and
the shaking welmeme in the beginning of another hour of
the Ben Mahler Show, a brand Smankin new edition. As
(00:52):
we are in the a everywhere using audio frequency. As
we say, a mind is a terrible thing to waste
coast to coast, border the border and beyond on the
mass and monolithically powerful microphones of fsre amminating live from
(01:14):
the wave deep microwave of hot takes. You give us
thirty seconds, we will give you marginal hot takes in
the world of sports. We'll do it all night long.
As we are hanging out in our lead this hour,
calling from the electric company. We parse the news of
(01:38):
the day. We parsed the news of the day. Story
bouncing around cross my radar from La La Land. You
got my attention, so I thought we'd start with this.
It involves the Bolts. Now you might have seen this,
maybe nine. There's some chatter, you know. I love chatter.
I live for the chatter. I'm all about the chatter.
(02:02):
I need the chatter in my veins, in my veins,
I need the chatter. So the chatter that the Chargers,
who are four and four, they have a coach, Brandon Staley,
who has apparently been given some kind of ultimatum. At
least that's the the noise that there's an ultimatum for
Brandon state they know what would that be? The belief
(02:24):
within NFL circles. I love that is that Brandon Staley
I was reading this, he needs to lead a winner
in year three or higall, he will not survive as
the head coach of the Chargers. Now, if you look
at your NFL standings right now, at five hundred record,
the Chargers are on pace to not make the postseason,
(02:46):
and if that were to happen, they would miss the
playoffs for the second time in three seasons with Brandon
Staley at the Helm and when they did make the playoffs,
it was a hum dinger, a hum dinger of an act.
All right, So let us discuss the question. We'll keep
it simple. This is not that hard. Is Brandon Staley
in the danger zone when it comes to the Chargers.
(03:08):
That's the noise, right, there's people already connecting Bill Belichick
to the Charger job. The Belichick's gonna exit New England
and then fly on a private jet across the country
land in LA and I guess he's gonna go surf
and maybe we'll walk around Venice Beach and then take
over the Charger job. So is Brandon Staley in the
danger zone for the Chargers? I got meow mix, boom box,
(03:31):
and meatballs, and we will combine all of these things together,
and we are going to make some chicken nuggets. Why
not the chicken nugget? Great creation. I had no idea
the chicken had nuggets, but just wonderful, all right? So ay,
I will believe that Brandon Staley is going to lose
(03:54):
his job. When Brandon Staley loses his job, we already
fired him on this show. So we have the bully pulpit.
As far as workerser, he's already lost his job. We
fired Brandon Staley. But turns out the Chargers are operated differently. Uh,
and the report that is bouncing around is fuel filled
with weasel terminology. A lot of weasel pop goes to weasel,
(04:17):
a lot of weasel terminology. For example, you're you're telling
me an NFL coach is expected to put a winning
team on the field. That is a shocking ultimatum. What
teams don't have that ultimatum? Well, what are the lists
of teams? But we don't really care if you have
a winning product on the field. That is the epitome
(04:38):
of edgy reporting. What was your source on that?
Speaker 3 (04:42):
My god?
Speaker 1 (04:43):
But Brandon Staley, in all seriousness, is snacking on meal
mix meow. He's he's eating meal mixed, And I'll tell
you why. He's a He's a kiddy cat with nine lives,
a pussy cat with nine lives, he is, And just
like Catt, he's got those reflexes. He can twist around
(05:03):
in mid air and escape danger. But the fact that
he's still coaching shows you the lack of commitment by
the Charger franchise that he's still the head coach. They
had a twenty seven nothing lead in a playoff game
to Jacksonville and gave it all the way. And he's
supposed to be a defensive whiz kid, defensive James my
fat ass, and he kept his job. It's embarrassing. And
(05:26):
the reason he kept his job is because the ownership
class in the Chargers organization, they're cheap, they're the frugal franchise,
and so the idea that they're gonna get rid of Staley,
he should have already been let go. But then they're
gonna go and high like Belichick, who I'm assuming is
not going to work pro bono if he were to
(05:48):
be hired by a team other than the Patriots. It's
just it's it's complete nonsense. Staley should be be like, oh,
he's not doing a good job. You don't get credit
for bidding the Jets who blow and the Chicago Bears,
who suck. Uh, let's see it if let's see him
beat the Lions. That's a real team, the Detroit Lions.
This weekend, all right now past two, we head now
(06:10):
to Chaos in the Bay. Chaos in the Bay. What
does the Steve Wilkes move do What does it mean, Novan?
If you didn't see this, many set this up before
we we get to that. So Kyle Shanahan is cranking
up the volume. He's cranking up the volume there in
San Francisco. Steve Wilks, is the defensive coordinator for the Niners,
(06:32):
has been pushed down to the field, no longer hanging
out in the coaches box. So what does it mean
that defensive coidinator Steve Wilkes has been put on the field.
What does that tell us about the forty nine or mindset?
Speaker 3 (06:47):
All right, So it.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Tells us that the volume on the boom box, which
is playing Indigo Girls, Shame on You, has been cranked up.
Shame on you, pointing the finger of shame, a skin
indictment of Steve Wilks, and also a tell and you
don't need me to tell you, but I'll do it
anyway for those that are heavily inebriated or trying to sleep.
(07:12):
So every man, woman and child with an IQ above
thirty would be able to tell you that the forty
nine Ers coaching staff, the head coach in the front office,
are placing responsibility on Steve Wilks that they are giving
a mulligan to their quarterback Rock Purdy. They're blaming the defense.
(07:36):
And so yes, the finger of blame I'm pointing at you.
The finger of blame has been put on Steve Wilkes.
And from the outside you look at the Niner defense
and they got the big names, Fred Warner, total stud
Nick Bosa, Hall of Fame player, other big names. You know.
The last month, as the Niners have lost three games
(07:57):
in a row, their defense is ranked in the last
month thirty first in the NFL. Thirty there's only thirty
two teams. They're thirty first in the NFL. And so
that is that is where the blame is right now.
So Wilkes is being tasked with like you got to
go down there and fix this. This is on you.
That's on you, tough guy, And that is the Mike
(08:20):
Tomlin punishment. Remember Tomlin, we talked about this, I think
it was last week we discussed this, that the Steelers'
offense had been the quality of fertilizer. And so what
did Tomlin do. Tomlin punished Matt Canada by putting him
on the sidelines and did that work. No Steelers won,
(08:42):
but their offense sucked in that game. Also against Tennessee,
it went very good. It was pretty bad. So San
Francisco now they got a date with Jacksonville this weekend.
That is that is an awesome game because Jacksonville's on
the come right now, they've been kicking some ass. And
then you got then who are going the other direction
(09:04):
and the Niners getting their guys back. So does that
mean everything's fine now? And brock Party's a system quarterback.
We've all we were right about that take. We win
that take that brock Party's a system guy, and so
now he's got the guys back, so he can play
in the system and be fine. All right, last word headline.
We go to Tennessee, the music city where the Titans.
(09:24):
We talked about this earlier in the week. They have
elevated Will Levis as QB one and they benched Ryan Tannehill.
He has been dismissed as the starting quarterbacks be the
backup now. Tannehill was not thrilled about this latest development,
as you might have guessed. You didn't need him to
(09:45):
tell you, but he said it hit hard. That was
the quote. It hit hard. He said, he's never been
in this situation before, never a situation anyone wants to
be in it, but he's in it. So how does
the future look, all almighty Soussayer, the one with the
crystal ball, distant relative of Nostre Dama's friend of no Strudena's,
(10:07):
how does the future look for Ryan Tannehill after being
benched in Tennessee. So the forecast is cloudy with a
chance of meat balls. That's the forecast right now. And
it's a gummy situation. The reason it's a gummy situation
Ryan Tannehill has let his play do the talking, and
(10:30):
he's playing like someone that should be playing golf, not football.
That's a problem. And by any reasonable measurement, whether it's
statistically or watching highlights or watching him just play in general,
it's it does not just whisper, It screams washed up,
(10:54):
washed up. And So the future for Ryan Tannehill, if
he choose to keep playing after this year, we assume
he will. There's a lot of money to be a
backup quarterback in the NFL, but he will go on
the quarterback merry go round, round and round and round
and round goes to the quarterback Merry Go Round. Ryan
Tannehill can be the Cabata boy for Patrick Mahomes if
(11:18):
he wants to back up next year in Kansas City,
or he can maybe even start the Patriots. Why not,
they have no quarterback there in New England. But his
days as a bona fide QB one Ryan Tannehill on
a team that can snit playoff contention is over. And
(11:39):
it's a great indictment of the entire Tennessee Titans franchise
that they wasted what had been some pretty good teams
with a total stiff at quarterback in Ryan Tannill. Can
you tell me when Tannehill played well in big games?
I'll sit back and I'll take your comment off the air,
because I don't recall it. I don't recall every time
I remember Tannehill in a play game. He was the problem.
(12:02):
He was the problem. And so Tennessee bet on the
wrong horse. They bet on the wrong horse, and that's
the fact.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
The fun sized quarterback is apparently returning well. Gome in
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mathers Show.
We are in the air everywhere on the river of
life as we know. Whispers echo through the corridors of FSR,
(12:44):
coast to coast, port of the Border and beyond on
the vast and magnificently powerful microphones of Fox Sports radios.

tyer rat dot com The way tire buying. Shoot me,
We'm gonna take a drive down. Alligator Arms Alley, an
(13:25):
old friend of the show, is back playing in the NFL.
If you did not see what we're talking about, here
a headline coming from Arizona News of the day in
the NFL. He's back. Say what Yeah? The news bouncing
(13:46):
around here that our old friend, Alligator Arms Murray, great
overrated players in NFL history, and he is He's back.
I read the story here. The Cardinals have activated Murray.
They're expecting him to start barring some kind of snaffou
between now and the game on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons.
(14:09):
And oh what a game that is? My god, that
is must not watch TV is what that is. But
I did read here, and maybe you didn't see this
part of the story. I thought this was the more
interesting part of the story is that the Cardinals are
considering keeping Kyler Murray past this season. Say what, Yeah,
(14:30):
that's the story, big headline there. The Cardinals may keep
Murray around. No decision has been made regarding next season.
Head coach Jonathan Gannon and the rest of the coaching
staff want to evaluate the rest of the season and
to figure out whether or not he is the long
term quarterback for the new regime. In the Value of
(14:51):
the Sun, So let us discuss the question as the reporters,
the Cardinals have not ruled out the possibility of Kyler
Murray the quarterback alligator arms Murray next season and beyond.
So you're saying there's a chance. You're saying there's a chance.
So as we discuss the question on this one, the
(15:13):
question is how much stock do you put in to
the reporting that Kyler Murray is still being inconsidered. I
should say, for the quarterback job, the number one job
there QB one job. Kyler Murray is being considered for
the quarterback job in twenty twenty four and beyond. So
I've got designer Hillary spitting image and Baker's doesn't. And
(15:37):
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make an NFL draft pick, which is
really what the Cardinals want. They don't really want to
even play these games. It's just a formality. They want
the pick. They want the first or the second pick
in the draft to get one of the quarterbacks at
the top of the draft. That's what they want, all right.
(15:57):
So we'll combine all these things together and we'll have
a grand time.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
No.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Number one.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
In terms of answering the question, how much stock do
you put into the alligator arms, Murray rumors that would
be a penny stock. I know a thing or two
about a penny. I do a TV show with a penny.
It's a penny stock, which is appropriate, right. Kyler's actually
the size of a penny, and oftentimes his performance is
about worth a penny. The Cardinals made the single worst
(16:34):
mega contract extension in NFL history. They immediately regretted it
immediately regretted it as soon as they signed him to
the contract, and now they're stuck with him. You ever
bought something you wish you hadn't bought and there's a
no return policy, there's a no cooling off policy, that
you're stuck with it. That's the Cardinals. That is the
Cardinals in a nutshell. And so these stories that are
(16:55):
bouncing around, and I'm gonna go out and a limb
here and say they were planted by the car Ords
because they want to have their fan base engage. They
want to give the illusion that they they might keep
Kyler Murray so valuable, those little alligator arms, they should
keep him around. Maybe they won't trade him. Of course,
it's all rubbish. It's absolute rubbish. There's no chance of
(17:20):
that happening. The Cardinals franchise at this point is ready
for reality television, Okay, they are. Kyler Murray is gonna
be excommunicator. So the reality show, you're gonna bring in
designer Hillary and real estate expert David are going to
come in and they'll face off on the NFL's version
of Love It or Listed on HGTV, and the Arizona
(17:43):
football team. According to the reality show this is what
they want you to believe. The Arizona football team must
decide do they want the freshly rehabbed quarterback Alligator Arms
Murray fund sized or do they want to put Alligator
Arms Murray up for sale to the highest bitter and
go find a brand new quarterback in a better part
(18:04):
of town. That's the question, and so much like the
TV show, the decision, of course, has already been made
and they've stripped down the roster. Here's the thing I
don't understand. There's a lot of I look at the
gambling market and there's a lot of people betting on
the Cardinals against Atlanta. I understand Atlanta doesn't have a
quarterback this weekend, But the logic of the casual gambler
(18:29):
is Kyler Murray is so much better, so much better
than the other team's quarterback, that that's gonna be the
difference a the Cardinals are trying to lose b Kyler
Murray usually is good for one or two quarters, but
he hasn't played in almost a year. He's rusty, so
you've got that. And when Kyler Murray had good players
(18:50):
around him, talented rosters in Arizona, he had a losing record.
Now he is playing with losers. He's playing with guys
they picked up off Craigslist and said, hey, you want
to play for the Cardinals. And so he's going to
be better with these jabbronis that he's playing with than
he was when he had decent players around him. No,
(19:11):
the Cardinals have they have champagne wishes and caviar dreams.
They want Caleb Williams, the crying quarterback, or Drake May
from the North Carolina tar Hills. That's who they want,
right They want one of those guys to be the
next big gun, all right now. Page two headline from Pittsburgh, PA.
Follow up to disgruntled pass catcher George Pickens not the
(19:36):
pick of the litter for George Pickens not happy. And
he was asked about the Mike Tomlin thing, and Tomlin
said that Pickens is like a pebble in his shoe
and it's as easy to deal with him as breathing
and all that. So Pickens was asked about all this,
asked if he was upset with the Steelers, and he
said two words. He said, Oh nah is what he said.
(20:01):
Oh nah is what he said. So George Picktt's claiming
he is not not angry with the Steelers over his
lack of usage. Do you believe him? Do you believe him?
And I am agnostic. I am not a believer, shaking
my head. No, Pickens. He didn't say much, but he
(20:26):
did say a lot with the body language. Big body
language guy, and the body language reeked of I hate
your question, I hate you and screw the Steelers. That's
what That's what it looked like from the body language.
But actions as always speak louder than words. And after
(20:47):
he was held to two catches for minus one yard
against the Tennessee football team, good old George Pikett. George Pikett,
he had a conniption fit. We talked about it. If
you missed it. He he washed his social media. That's
what you do in the modern era. You race all
references to the team. Just about you put free me
(21:09):
like you're in jail. Back in the old days, if
somebody felt like they were in jail, they had to
say it. There was an old basketball player. You probably
don't know who this is anymore because it's been so long,
but there was a guy named Ron Harper. Ron Harper
was playing for the Clippers, but he didn't want to
play for the Clippers, and he had a hissy fit.
As the legend goes, as was told to me, as
(21:30):
I understand it, he went and drank a bunch of
beer and then he came to his locker. He thought
the media was gone. The media was not gone. They
waited for him, and he after drinking much alcohol. The
legend is that Ron Harper then proceeded to give a lecture,
a sermon about how he wanted to be freed from jail,
and he eventually was freed from jail and he went
(21:51):
on won a bunch of championships with the Michael Jordan
Chicago Bulls. It's like Shaw Shank redemption for him. He
got out and all that. But the modern era, you
do it now. The real story though, for George Pickens,
based on the body language and from what I know
of the story, George Pickens needs to write an autobiography
(22:13):
that is in the spitting image, the spitting image of
Keishawn Johnson's classic book Just give Me the Damn.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
Ball, because that's really it's all about George Pickens. He
didn't care if the Steelers win or not. He didn't
care about any of that it's just give me the
damn ball. He's worried about his contract. I get it.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
You get two catches for minus one yard. They're not
throwing money at you in your next contract. I don't
care how many wins the team has. That's not how
it works. That story is going to continue to simmer.
The Steelers have the Green Bay Packers this week, and
we'll keep an eye on that. Now. Final point headline,
we go to Gotham. We're injured quarterback Danny Dimes Daniel
(22:53):
Jones keeping up with the Joneses. Daniel Jones was asked
about the talk that the Giants are going to replace him,
even though he got that massive contract. The Giants are
going to go out and they made draft a quarterback
in twenty twenty four. They're gonna have a top probably
top five pick the way they're going with Tommy DeVito
(23:13):
as their quarterback. So what did Daniel Jones say? We've
got the audio tape, so here is Daniel Jones in
his respect. You'll actually hear the question as well, but
here's his response. When you hear the question on the future.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
What do you think about the early chatter here that
the Giants are going to draft a quarterback high that
your days here as a starter are done?
Speaker 6 (23:34):
How does that sit with you?
Speaker 5 (23:36):
Like I said, you know, I'm focused on on what
I'm doing, what I'm doing right now, and what I
can control what's in front of me, and that's this
rehab process my knee, you know, healing that up and
then doing everything I can to help this team, you know,
finish strong and play well. So that's what I'm focused on.
And you know, I'm excited to watch these guys finish up.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
How exactly is he helping them finish like he's like
a cheerleader, Like, what's exactly going on there? I don't know,
but that quote, I'm focused on what I'm doing right
now and what I can control now. Giant loyalists were
so upset they were spitting mad with that question. It's unfair,
it's not right. The guy just injured himself. Why would
(24:17):
you ask him a question like that? That'll so let's
address that part of the story. The Daniel Jones SoundBite.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
We just played it.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
The question and the answer is Daniel Jones being asked
about the Giants possibly drafting his replacement inbounds or out
of bounds, and we went to instant replay on this.
Upon further review, the call on the field stands. It
is inbounds. It is inbounds. Both feet were inbounds. He
(24:47):
had possession of the football. Now, Daniel Jones, who is
a mindless robot when talking to the media, that's how
he handles things, which is find a lot of these
guys are that way. They're very dull and boring Danga Jones.
His response was boilerplate like. It was boilerplate like, and
he sidestepped it, gave roughly a Baker's dozen cliches. But
(25:14):
I have no empathy on this side of the microphone.
I get why, if you're a giant loyalist and you're
a fanboy, you'd be upset by that. But Jones has
been a total failure before he got hurt, and he
just doesn't know how to play the position. It's fascinating
a guy could be drafted that high and not know
(25:35):
when to get rid of the football and just pocket
presence and all the basic stuff of playing quarterback. He
went to Duke, but he might as well have gone
to I don't know, a directional school somewhere the way
he was playing. And plus Danny dimes. He got paid,
the giants got played. He's getting forty million dollars. So
they ask you a tough question. God forbid. Suck it up, Buttercup.
(25:59):
It's not that hard, right. Your feelings got hurt? Oh
my god, what a shrinking violet.

third degree. This is one big Ben gets grilled.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
I might have to work that in the TV show
so I can rip Derek Carr. What do we have here?
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Kobaloop?
Speaker 1 (27:02):
All right?
Speaker 8 (27:02):
Ben Shadoor Sanders is eligible for the twenty twenty four draft,
but according to Dion, Shador isn't going anywhere. Why would
we when we're having a great time here, Dion said, Ben,
do you think staying at Colorado is the right move?
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Yes, one hundred percent. Right. There's trear like rock stars there.
They're gonna improve the offensive line. They'll buy some fat
offensive lineman next year. But more importantly, Shadier Sanders is
making almost five million dollars a year in Colorado and
in the following draft he could be the number one
quarter He's not gonna be the number one quarterback in
this draft, so it makes sense to stay at Colorado.
(27:35):
You're making five million next.
Speaker 8 (27:38):
It was reported on Tuesday that don Manningly is one
of the candidates being considered as the Brewers new manager. Ben,
are you surprised that Donnie Baseball could be getting another
shot at the Helm?
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Well?
Speaker 1 (27:47):
No, the your team just hired Ron Washington for God's sake. No,
Maddi is a nice guy. He's he's got a big name.
If you're old, you remember when he played for the Yankees.
He's from the Midwest. He's pretty mellow. I can see
that working out for the Brewers. He's pretty boring with
the media. I can see that working out next.
Speaker 8 (28:04):
After coming away with a narrow win against the Thunder
last week, Steve Kerr issued a warning of sorts to
the league, saying, these guys are coming. Bet are the
Thunder a team to keep an eye on?
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Where are they going? Do we know where they're going?
Are they going to lunch? Are they gonna go to
the buffet? No, I'm not. I'm not concerned. They're not
on my radar. Shae Yogos Alexander's a good player. They
got a couple other guys that are decent. The NBA
will make sure they do not win. They're gonna make
sure they don't win anytime soon. How do we know, Cope,
you pass this, that is a win, you get put
on the Yeah, I want the game. I won the game.

Speaker 3 (28:59):
You know where we go.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
These your actual questions by actual listeners like yourself. Send
a question in on x hashtag ask Ben. Otherwise ferg
Dog will bogart the entire segment. We now go over
to the Kooper loop for the reading of the questions.
All right, Ben, Yes, let's see. We're gonna start with
(29:25):
Lady Sideburns, one of my favorite women. Lady Sideburns wants
to know, when using public restrooms, do you flush with
your hand or your foot. I'm a foot I'm a
foot guy. I am. I got a bit of a
foot fetish when it comes to that. I normally when
it comes to that, well, no, I like to use
I got long legs. I might as well use the
long legs, and I will. I will usually reach the
(29:49):
foot over the toilet to flush the toilet. So that's
my move.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Eddie, I use my hand. You're such a pig. I
did have a nice lady walk in on me. I
was using the restroom in New York.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
You were in the ladies room.
Speaker 9 (30:03):
No, it was one of those unisex bathrooms and apparently
the lock did not work. Oh surprise, surprise, surprise, locked
on in and I was like, hi, there, she got
a show you.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
What are you sitting?
Speaker 3 (30:16):
I was not sitting. I was standing.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Your pants around your ankles Eddie were yeah, perhaps, wow,
how about that?
Speaker 9 (30:24):
So I walked out said sorry, you had to see that,
and she laughed that it wasn't anything I haven't seen before.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
She laughed at your private parts, Eddie. That's all right,
I was Sam.
Speaker 8 (30:38):
It depends on the type of flusher. If it's one
of those like stick flushers, I'll use my foot. If
it's like it kind of a more intimate restaurant where
it has the normal kind of in home flusher, I'll
have to use my hand.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
That's a little more difficult. You still use your foot.
You just got used the tip of your your toes movement.
I like the Costco toilets because those are really good
for your your foot because they're a stick, their industrial
strength toilets.
Speaker 8 (31:01):
Well, yeah, sometimes you'll have those like real flushing hard
that's usually this it's.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
A solid toilet, it's a it's a really good But
they spent a lot of money on toilets.
Speaker 8 (31:09):
Yet, what if it's one of those flat button ones
where you have to push. You really can't use your foot.
That's tough back of the ankle.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (31:21):
Man.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
The local man was found in the bathroom.
Speaker 9 (31:26):
Floor apparently flush the toilet cool please.
Speaker 8 (31:32):
I am a foot flusher, yeah, uh yeah, But I
don't think I've ever seen a regular home flusher out
in a public like Italian restaurant, because, like I mean,
not anytime lately, because like you said, nowadays it's got
even even like home toilets have the buttons.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Like, I gotta tell you another feature I like they
It's a left over from the COVID era. They have
the the foot pedal you can pull the door open.
Oh yeah, I like that. Yeah, I do like that.
That's a major up You could wash your hands there, you.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
Know what I mean.
Speaker 8 (32:07):
But obviously the censor ones that the automatic flushes, those
are sometimes the best. But sometimes those flush too early
and you're like moving and you're like, I'm not ready
to get out of here yet.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
All right, all right, why don't we pause for the cost?
You want more of ass man? By the way, there's
a major upgrade that I don't think any of us
have talked about on the air here at Fox Sports Radio,
and we will address that. We'll get to it. All right,
Well you might know what I'm talking about. Maybe not.
We'll get to that and more of your questions hashtag
ask Ben. It rolls on for our rest of the hour.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
All right, what do we got? Let's go with Let's
see here.
Speaker 8 (32:51):
Rory wants to know what is the longest you have
stayed in an all you can eat buffet?
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Well, I stay long. I was at the Paris Hotel
casino in Vegas years ago. I stayed long enough. I
thought I was going to die in the hotel room
that night because I had eaten so much. But it
was my my gallblader. I was there a long time.
What about you aready? Longest?
Speaker 9 (33:13):
I mean the all the ones I've gone to, they
usually have like a time limit. It's like a lunchtime buffet.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Like a twenty four second clock or something.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
I don't know.
Speaker 9 (33:24):
I mean a couple of hours. I guess, nothing too impressive.
Speaker 8 (33:28):
I feel like you're gonna get super full and then
you just want to go home and naps. So like,
why would you stay there too long? I don't I
don't think.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
It's an all day thing that you can just I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
I studied over the years, I've studied the buffet and
how they make money. And what they do is they
put the cheapest, most fattening food rolls right right, chicken.
They want you to fatten up on stuff that's the
least expensive. The really expensive stuff, the steak, the turkey,
the stuff that costs some legitimate money is at the
far end because they know you're gonna be lazy and
(34:01):
just go to the first thing you see, and then
you'll you will stop eating because you'll be full. Well.
Speaker 8 (34:06):
Back in my gorging days, I went to the buffet
right before the switch over from lunch to dinner.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
A solid yes, both, yes, exactly both, double your pleasure,
double your fun. Ye all right. I have a question
on asking why the hell are there their foam dice
in the studio. Is this Coveno and Rich? I'm guessing
this is not like Rob Parker's fuzzy like foam and
Rich dice, the dice of love I think they call them,
(34:36):
or something. Is that right? Yeah? Wow, all right, all.
Speaker 8 (34:40):
Right, We're gonna do two questions from Ferg dog Is.
They're good questions. The first one is going to be
do you find riding an airplanes enjoyable or stressful?
Speaker 1 (34:49):
I hate going to the airport waiting to get on
the plane. Like I don't mind when I have a seat,
if I have room, which is rare, I don't really
mind it. But everything about everything else about it, I hate.
It's very stressful, Eddie.
Speaker 9 (35:04):
Well as somebody who just uh, definitely stressful, never enjoyable.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
You're always going to miss your flight and all that.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
I worry about everything.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
Okay, I was saying.
Speaker 8 (35:15):
The only part I find enjoyable about flying is when
you're on the tarmac and you're speeding up, because I
find that to be very relaxing. And taking off. Otherwise,
the seats are very uncomfortable. I feel like my spine
is imploding after about two hours. Everyone's but hurts from sitting.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Is very weird.
Speaker 8 (35:31):
Literally, the only part of flying that I don't find enjoyable.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Is to take off. The takeoff because it's like the inertia,
you're like pulled back in the seat.
Speaker 8 (35:39):
It's like that's that's the most likely time that you're
going to crash.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
No, it's not.
Speaker 8 (35:46):
It is when you're still on the ground, though I
was told plot taking off and landing the most dangerous part.
Speaker 9 (35:53):
The hardest landing I've ever been a part of. Been
a part of in New York A seven seventy seven.
The thing bounced and exist four times.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
You need Sully Sullenburger or whatever his name was, to
lander and the Hudson It man.
Speaker 8 (36:06):
All right, Another question for for dog. If you accidentally
burn a bagel or toast pretty badly, do you still
eat it like a man? Or do you throw it
out off?
Speaker 1 (36:16):
I try to pick around the burn and eat it.
I try to salvage it, salvage and record.
Speaker 8 (36:21):
I'm like Geedy, you got a serrated steak knife and
you and you scrape that off.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
No part of the bagel left behind. You know, if
it's assuming it's not burn, you got you still gotta go.
If it's toast, you kind of got to throw it away.
It's hard to salvage toast, but a bagel, you can say,
scrapeover scrap.

It's hockey season somewhere. EDI's you know, he's the first
stay back. He'll be off tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
Sparty will be it.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
But here's Eddie to update you on everything going on
in hockey as we puck the world.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
Not true. I will I will be in tomorrow, although.
Speaker 9 (37:02):
I planned on working pretty much. I guess, you know,
other than Thanksgiving, Christmas and no days off. I can
get a jury summons though.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
We're going to get a celebrity murder trial and you'll
be gone for seven months.
Speaker 9 (37:20):
No, please, please no, I've all I've never served jury
duty before. I've always been able to get off. I
actually want to be on the It would be fun.
You can go for a story I would love called
the federal jury duty.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
I got all excited a federal case, and then the
night before they said I wasn't needed. I was MoMA.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
I hope they say that to me too, because I
don't want.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
To do it.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
Let's start on the ice.
Speaker 9 (37:41):
In the NHL, every team is played around a dozen
or so games so far on the season, and even
with their loss last night, that if any Stanley Cup
champion Vegas Golden Knights still looking very strong, leading the
NHL with an eleven to one record twenty three points
so far on the season in Boston, despite losing key
players like Patrious Burger on a David Creechy to retirement.
The leading the Eastern conferently ten to one and one record,
(38:02):
which is a bit of a surprise. Other teams off
to good starts. The New York Rangers nine two and
one on the season, LA Kings are eight two and two,
and the color Avalanche are eight and three. Some surprise
teams so far in a good way. The Vancouver Canucks
are nine two and one and the Anaheim Ducks I
must grudgingly say are doing better than expected to.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
The way fack quack quack quack in the season.
Speaker 9 (38:23):
Disappointments so far the Edmonton Oilers, picked by a many
people to be Stanley Cup containers, two and eight so
far in the season. Start your Star. Cono McDavid is
like fiftieth in the NHL and scoring right now.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
Party too much in the offseason.
Speaker 9 (38:36):
Pittsburgh Penguins are five and six on the ear, Toronto
mayple Leaves six five and two, and the Seattle crack
and four six and three on the season. Now, the
San Jose Sharks have not been just bad.
Speaker 3 (38:47):
But horrifically bad. They had tied the.
Speaker 9 (38:50):
NHL record for eleven straight losses and start a season
with history and sites.
Speaker 3 (38:55):
They won a game.
Speaker 9 (38:55):
They beat the Flyers two to one to avoid an
NHL record twelve straight.
Speaker 3 (39:00):
Losses the start of season. Bad job by him.
Speaker 9 (39:03):
The Ottawa Senators sacked their general manager, Pierre Dorian if
the team was stripped of a first round pick for
they're rolling an invalidated trade that involved the former players.
So basically the trade of this guy, you've getting the
down off to Vegas, and they didn't tell Vegas that
he had a no trade clause.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
I remember that.
Speaker 3 (39:20):
And they had up tried to trade into Anaheim.
Speaker 9 (39:22):
And then the league had to avoid the trade because
he had the Ducks on his list of teams he
wouldn't play for, and so that didn't sit well with
the Ducks.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
And the and the.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
Golden Knights, and so they took out that had been
a team that like a power, you know, Original sixteen,
they wouldn't have taken the first round draft as well.
That's punishing Outawa because they are.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
That's that's speculation anyway. Fact Jack, So that cost Pierre
dorry On his job.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
If Boston Bruins had done the same thing, it would
have been like a third round pick and a slap.
Speaker 3 (39:50):
On how dare you? The NHL is fair and impartial.
Speaker 9 (39:54):
Lots of injury news to talk about, unfortunately, and a
reminder that skates are sharp. Seattle Craft and forward Jordan
Everly sustained a serious injury and practice a deep cut
near his quad muscle after being hit by a teammates
skate play.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
Taking the hospital How soon Eddie before they demand rollerblades,
bubble rapp.
Speaker 9 (40:12):
Yeah, They're gonna see if he had any tendon damage
before announcing how long he might be.
Speaker 3 (40:16):
Out of action.
Speaker 9 (40:17):
Carolin Hurricanes goalie Frederick and Anderson dealing with blood clocks.
He's out in depthly New Jersey Devil star Jack Hughes,
who got off to a great start week to week
upper body injury. New York Rangers play started VI's maman
Adam Fox on long term into deservve star goalie Igorsi
strik And also out and definitely with an injury. After
seventeen seasons, thirty seven year old forward Paul Stadsley announced
his retirement. Played over one thousand NHL games to the Avalanche, Blues, Jets,
(40:40):
Golden Knights and Hurricanes, and after twenty four seasons in
one thousand, seven hundred and fourteen games, mostly with the
Bruins and Sharks, forty four year old Thornton announced his retirement.
Future Hall of Famer he was number one overall pick
in nineteen ninety seven, won a scoring title in a
league MVP in the two thousand and five two thousand
and six season, but never won, and a.

This is the best of the Ben Maler Show on

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Another night and more gossip and innuendo from the NFL
world about a certain coach or two. The moving and
the shaking welmeme in the beginning of another hour of
the Ben Mahler Show, a brand Smankin new edition. As
(00:52):
we are in the a everywhere using audio frequency. As
we say, a mind is a terrible thing to waste
coast to coast, border the border and beyond on the
mass and monolithically powerful microphones of fsre amminating live from
(01:14):
the wave deep microwave of hot takes. You give us
thirty seconds, we will give you marginal hot takes in
the world of sports. We'll do it all night long.
As we are hanging out in our lead this hour,
calling from the electric company. We parse the news of
(01:38):
the day. We parsed the news of the day. Story
bouncing around cross my radar from La La Land. You
got my attention, so I thought we'd start with this.
It involves the Bolts. Now you might have seen this,
maybe nine. There's some chatter, you know. I love chatter.
I live for the chatter. I'm all about the chatter.
(02:02):
I need the chatter in my veins, in my veins,
I need the chatter. So the chatter that the Chargers,
who are four and four, they have a coach, Brandon Staley,
who has apparently been given some kind of ultimatum. At
least that's the the noise that there's an ultimatum for
Brandon state they know what would that be? The belief
(02:24):
within NFL circles. I love that is that Brandon Staley
I was reading this, he needs to lead a winner
in year three or higall, he will not survive as
the head coach of the Chargers. Now, if you look
at your NFL standings right now, at five hundred record,
the Chargers are on pace to not make the postseason,
(02:46):
and if that were to happen, they would miss the
playoffs for the second time in three seasons with Brandon
Staley at the Helm and when they did make the playoffs,
it was a hum dinger, a hum dinger of an act.
All right, So let us discuss the question. We'll keep
it simple. This is not that hard. Is Brandon Staley
in the danger zone when it comes to the Chargers.
(03:08):
That's the noise, right, there's people already connecting Bill Belichick
to the Charger job. The Belichick's gonna exit New England
and then fly on a private jet across the country
land in LA and I guess he's gonna go surf
and maybe we'll walk around Venice Beach and then take
over the Charger job. So is Brandon Staley in the
danger zone for the Chargers? I got meow mix, boom box,
(03:31):
and meatballs, and we will combine all of these things together,
and we are going to make some chicken nuggets. Why
not the chicken nugget? Great creation. I had no idea
the chicken had nuggets, but just wonderful, all right? So ay,
I will believe that Brandon Staley is going to lose
(03:54):
his job. When Brandon Staley loses his job, we already
fired him on this show. So we have the bully pulpit.
As far as workerser, he's already lost his job. We
fired Brandon Staley. But turns out the Chargers are operated differently. Uh,
and the report that is bouncing around is fuel filled
with weasel terminology. A lot of weasel pop goes to weasel,
(04:17):
a lot of weasel terminology. For example, you're you're telling
me an NFL coach is expected to put a winning
team on the field. That is a shocking ultimatum. What
teams don't have that ultimatum? Well, what are the lists
of teams? But we don't really care if you have
a winning product on the field. That is the epitome
(04:38):
of edgy reporting. What was your source on that?
Speaker 3 (04:42):
My god?
Speaker 1 (04:43):
But Brandon Staley, in all seriousness, is snacking on meal
mix meow. He's he's eating meal mixed, And I'll tell
you why. He's a He's a kiddy cat with nine lives,
a pussy cat with nine lives, he is, And just
like Catt, he's got those reflexes. He can twist around
(05:03):
in mid air and escape danger. But the fact that
he's still coaching shows you the lack of commitment by
the Charger franchise that he's still the head coach. They
had a twenty seven nothing lead in a playoff game
to Jacksonville and gave it all the way. And he's
supposed to be a defensive whiz kid, defensive James my
fat ass, and he kept his job. It's embarrassing. And
(05:26):
the reason he kept his job is because the ownership
class in the Chargers organization, they're cheap, they're the frugal franchise,
and so the idea that they're gonna get rid of Staley,
he should have already been let go. But then they're
gonna go and high like Belichick, who I'm assuming is
not going to work pro bono if he were to
(05:48):
be hired by a team other than the Patriots. It's
just it's it's complete nonsense. Staley should be be like, oh,
he's not doing a good job. You don't get credit
for bidding the Jets who blow and the Chicago Bears,
who suck. Uh, let's see it if let's see him
beat the Lions. That's a real team, the Detroit Lions.
This weekend, all right now past two, we head now
(06:10):
to Chaos in the Bay. Chaos in the Bay. What
does the Steve Wilkes move do What does it mean, Novan?
If you didn't see this, many set this up before
we we get to that. So Kyle Shanahan is cranking
up the volume. He's cranking up the volume there in
San Francisco. Steve Wilks, is the defensive coordinator for the Niners,
(06:32):
has been pushed down to the field, no longer hanging
out in the coaches box. So what does it mean
that defensive coidinator Steve Wilkes has been put on the field.
What does that tell us about the forty nine or mindset?
Speaker 3 (06:47):
All right, So it.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Tells us that the volume on the boom box, which
is playing Indigo Girls, Shame on You, has been cranked up.
Shame on you, pointing the finger of shame, a skin
indictment of Steve Wilks, and also a tell and you
don't need me to tell you, but I'll do it
anyway for those that are heavily inebriated or trying to sleep.
(07:12):
So every man, woman and child with an IQ above
thirty would be able to tell you that the forty
nine Ers coaching staff, the head coach in the front office,
are placing responsibility on Steve Wilks that they are giving
a mulligan to their quarterback Rock Purdy. They're blaming the defense.
(07:36):
And so yes, the finger of blame I'm pointing at you.
The finger of blame has been put on Steve Wilkes.
And from the outside you look at the Niner defense
and they got the big names, Fred Warner, total stud
Nick Bosa, Hall of Fame player, other big names. You know.
The last month, as the Niners have lost three games
(07:57):
in a row, their defense is ranked in the last
month thirty first in the NFL. Thirty there's only thirty
two teams. They're thirty first in the NFL. And so
that is that is where the blame is right now.
So Wilkes is being tasked with like you got to
go down there and fix this. This is on you.
That's on you, tough guy, And that is the Mike
(08:20):
Tomlin punishment. Remember Tomlin, we talked about this, I think
it was last week we discussed this, that the Steelers'
offense had been the quality of fertilizer. And so what
did Tomlin do. Tomlin punished Matt Canada by putting him
on the sidelines and did that work. No Steelers won,
(08:42):
but their offense sucked in that game. Also against Tennessee,
it went very good. It was pretty bad. So San
Francisco now they got a date with Jacksonville this weekend.
That is that is an awesome game because Jacksonville's on
the come right now, they've been kicking some ass. And
then you got then who are going the other direction
(09:04):
and the Niners getting their guys back. So does that
mean everything's fine now? And brock Party's a system quarterback.
We've all we were right about that take. We win
that take that brock Party's a system guy, and so
now he's got the guys back, so he can play
in the system and be fine. All right, last word headline.
We go to Tennessee, the music city where the Titans.
(09:24):
We talked about this earlier in the week. They have
elevated Will Levis as QB one and they benched Ryan Tannehill.
He has been dismissed as the starting quarterbacks be the
backup now. Tannehill was not thrilled about this latest development,
as you might have guessed. You didn't need him to
(09:45):
tell you, but he said it hit hard. That was
the quote. It hit hard. He said, he's never been
in this situation before, never a situation anyone wants to
be in it, but he's in it. So how does
the future look, all almighty Soussayer, the one with the
crystal ball, distant relative of Nostre Dama's friend of no Strudena's,
(10:07):
how does the future look for Ryan Tannehill after being
benched in Tennessee. So the forecast is cloudy with a
chance of meat balls. That's the forecast right now. And
it's a gummy situation. The reason it's a gummy situation
Ryan Tannehill has let his play do the talking, and
(10:30):
he's playing like someone that should be playing golf, not football.
That's a problem. And by any reasonable measurement, whether it's
statistically or watching highlights or watching him just play in general,
it's it does not just whisper, It screams washed up,
(10:54):
washed up. And So the future for Ryan Tannehill, if
he choose to keep playing after this year, we assume
he will. There's a lot of money to be a
backup quarterback in the NFL, but he will go on
the quarterback merry go round, round and round and round
and round goes to the quarterback Merry Go Round. Ryan
Tannehill can be the Cabata boy for Patrick Mahomes if
(11:18):
he wants to back up next year in Kansas City,
or he can maybe even start the Patriots. Why not,
they have no quarterback there in New England. But his
days as a bona fide QB one Ryan Tannehill on
a team that can snit playoff contention is over. And
(11:39):
it's a great indictment of the entire Tennessee Titans franchise
that they wasted what had been some pretty good teams
with a total stiff at quarterback in Ryan Tannill. Can
you tell me when Tannehill played well in big games?
I'll sit back and I'll take your comment off the air,
because I don't recall it. I don't recall every time
I remember Tannehill in a play game. He was the problem.
(12:02):
He was the problem. And so Tennessee bet on the
wrong horse. They bet on the wrong horse, and that's
the fact.

the NFL. He's back. Say what Yeah? The news bouncing
(13:46):
around here that our old friend, Alligator Arms Murray, great
overrated players in NFL history, and he is He's back.
I read the story here. The Cardinals have activated Murray.
They're expecting him to start barring some kind of snaffou
between now and the game on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons.
(14:09):
And oh what a game that is? My god, that
is must not watch TV is what that is. But
I did read here, and maybe you didn't see this
part of the story. I thought this was the more
interesting part of the story is that the Cardinals are
considering keeping Kyler Murray past this season. Say what, Yeah,
(14:30):
that's the story, big headline there. The Cardinals may keep
Murray around. No decision has been made regarding next season.
Head coach Jonathan Gannon and the rest of the coaching
staff want to evaluate the rest of the season and
to figure out whether or not he is the long
term quarterback for the new regime. In the Value of
(14:51):
the Sun, So let us discuss the question as the reporters,
the Cardinals have not ruled out the possibility of Kyler
Murray the quarterback alligator arms Murray next season and beyond.
So you're saying there's a chance. You're saying there's a chance.
So as we discuss the question on this one, the
(15:13):
question is how much stock do you put in to
the reporting that Kyler Murray is still being inconsidered. I
should say, for the quarterback job, the number one job
there QB one job. Kyler Murray is being considered for
the quarterback job in twenty twenty four and beyond. So
I've got designer Hillary spitting image and Baker's doesn't. And
(15:37):
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make an NFL draft pick, which is
really what the Cardinals want. They don't really want to
even play these games. It's just a formality. They want
the pick. They want the first or the second pick
in the draft to get one of the quarterbacks at
the top of the draft. That's what they want, all right.
(15:57):
So we'll combine all these things together and we'll have
a grand time.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
No.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Number one.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
In terms of answering the question, how much stock do
you put into the alligator arms, Murray rumors that would
be a penny stock. I know a thing or two
about a penny. I do a TV show with a penny.
It's a penny stock, which is appropriate, right. Kyler's actually
the size of a penny, and oftentimes his performance is
about worth a penny. The Cardinals made the single worst
(16:34):
mega contract extension in NFL history. They immediately regretted it
immediately regretted it as soon as they signed him to
the contract, and now they're stuck with him. You ever
bought something you wish you hadn't bought and there's a
no return policy, there's a no cooling off policy, that
you're stuck with it. That's the Cardinals. That is the
Cardinals in a nutshell. And so these stories that are
(16:55):
bouncing around, and I'm gonna go out and a limb
here and say they were planted by the car Ords
because they want to have their fan base engage. They
want to give the illusion that they they might keep
Kyler Murray so valuable, those little alligator arms, they should
keep him around. Maybe they won't trade him. Of course,
it's all rubbish. It's absolute rubbish. There's no chance of
(17:20):
that happening. The Cardinals franchise at this point is ready
for reality television, Okay, they are. Kyler Murray is gonna
be excommunicator. So the reality show, you're gonna bring in
designer Hillary and real estate expert David are going to
come in and they'll face off on the NFL's version
of Love It or Listed on HGTV, and the Arizona
(17:43):
football team. According to the reality show this is what
they want you to believe. The Arizona football team must
decide do they want the freshly rehabbed quarterback Alligator Arms
Murray fund sized or do they want to put Alligator
Arms Murray up for sale to the highest bitter and
go find a brand new quarterback in a better part
(18:04):
of town. That's the question, and so much like the
TV show, the decision, of course, has already been made
and they've stripped down the roster. Here's the thing I
don't understand. There's a lot of I look at the
gambling market and there's a lot of people betting on
the Cardinals against Atlanta. I understand Atlanta doesn't have a
quarterback this weekend, But the logic of the casual gambler
(18:29):
is Kyler Murray is so much better, so much better
than the other team's quarterback, that that's gonna be the
difference a the Cardinals are trying to lose b Kyler
Murray usually is good for one or two quarters, but
he hasn't played in almost a year. He's rusty, so
you've got that. And when Kyler Murray had good players
(18:50):
around him, talented rosters in Arizona, he had a losing record.
Now he is playing with losers. He's playing with guys
they picked up off Craigslist and said, hey, you want
to play for the Cardinals. And so he's going to
be better with these jabbronis that he's playing with than
he was when he had decent players around him. No,
(19:11):
the Cardinals have they have champagne wishes and caviar dreams.
They want Caleb Williams, the crying quarterback, or Drake May
from the North Carolina tar Hills. That's who they want,
right They want one of those guys to be the
next big gun, all right now. Page two headline from Pittsburgh, PA.
Follow up to disgruntled pass catcher George Pickens not the
(19:36):
pick of the litter for George Pickens not happy. And
he was asked about the Mike Tomlin thing, and Tomlin
said that Pickens is like a pebble in his shoe
and it's as easy to deal with him as breathing
and all that. So Pickens was asked about all this,
asked if he was upset with the Steelers, and he
said two words. He said, Oh nah is what he said.
(20:01):
Oh nah is what he said. So George Picktt's claiming
he is not not angry with the Steelers over his
lack of usage. Do you believe him? Do you believe him?
And I am agnostic. I am not a believer, shaking
my head. No, Pickens. He didn't say much, but he
(20:26):
did say a lot with the body language. Big body
language guy, and the body language reeked of I hate
your question, I hate you and screw the Steelers. That's
what That's what it looked like from the body language.
But actions as always speak louder than words. And after
(20:47):
he was held to two catches for minus one yard
against the Tennessee football team, good old George Pikett. George Pikett,
he had a conniption fit. We talked about it. If
you missed it. He he washed his social media. That's
what you do in the modern era. You race all
references to the team. Just about you put free me
(21:09):
like you're in jail. Back in the old days, if
somebody felt like they were in jail, they had to
say it. There was an old basketball player. You probably
don't know who this is anymore because it's been so long,
but there was a guy named Ron Harper. Ron Harper
was playing for the Clippers, but he didn't want to
play for the Clippers, and he had a hissy fit.
As the legend goes, as was told to me, as
(21:30):
I understand it, he went and drank a bunch of
beer and then he came to his locker. He thought
the media was gone. The media was not gone. They
waited for him, and he after drinking much alcohol. The
legend is that Ron Harper then proceeded to give a lecture,
a sermon about how he wanted to be freed from jail,
and he eventually was freed from jail and he went
(21:51):
on won a bunch of championships with the Michael Jordan
Chicago Bulls. It's like Shaw Shank redemption for him. He
got out and all that. But the modern era, you
do it now. The real story though, for George Pickens,
based on the body language and from what I know
of the story, George Pickens needs to write an autobiography
(22:13):
that is in the spitting image, the spitting image of
Keishawn Johnson's classic book Just give Me the Damn.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
Ball, because that's really it's all about George Pickens. He
didn't care if the Steelers win or not. He didn't
care about any of that it's just give me the
damn ball. He's worried about his contract. I get it.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
You get two catches for minus one yard. They're not
throwing money at you in your next contract. I don't
care how many wins the team has. That's not how
it works. That story is going to continue to simmer.
The Steelers have the Green Bay Packers this week, and
we'll keep an eye on that. Now. Final point headline,
we go to Gotham. We're injured quarterback Danny Dimes Daniel
(22:53):
Jones keeping up with the Joneses. Daniel Jones was asked
about the talk that the Giants are going to replace him,
even though he got that massive contract. The Giants are
going to go out and they made draft a quarterback
in twenty twenty four. They're gonna have a top probably
top five pick the way they're going with Tommy DeVito
(23:13):
as their quarterback. So what did Daniel Jones say? We've
got the audio tape, so here is Daniel Jones in
his respect. You'll actually hear the question as well, but
here's his response. When you hear the question on the future.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
What do you think about the early chatter here that
the Giants are going to draft a quarterback high that
your days here as a starter are done?
Speaker 6 (23:34):
How does that sit with you?
Speaker 5 (23:36):
Like I said, you know, I'm focused on on what
I'm doing, what I'm doing right now, and what I
can control what's in front of me, and that's this
rehab process my knee, you know, healing that up and
then doing everything I can to help this team, you know,
finish strong and play well. So that's what I'm focused on.
And you know, I'm excited to watch these guys finish up.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
How exactly is he helping them finish like he's like
a cheerleader, Like, what's exactly going on there? I don't know,
but that quote, I'm focused on what I'm doing right
now and what I can control now. Giant loyalists were
so upset they were spitting mad with that question. It's unfair,
it's not right. The guy just injured himself. Why would
(24:17):
you ask him a question like that? That'll so let's
address that part of the story. The Daniel Jones SoundBite.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
We just played it.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
The question and the answer is Daniel Jones being asked
about the Giants possibly drafting his replacement inbounds or out
of bounds, and we went to instant replay on this.
Upon further review, the call on the field stands. It
is inbounds. It is inbounds. Both feet were inbounds. He
(24:47):
had possession of the football. Now, Daniel Jones, who is
a mindless robot when talking to the media, that's how
he handles things, which is find a lot of these
guys are that way. They're very dull and boring Danga Jones.
His response was boilerplate like. It was boilerplate like, and
he sidestepped it, gave roughly a Baker's dozen cliches. But
(25:14):
I have no empathy on this side of the microphone.
I get why, if you're a giant loyalist and you're
a fanboy, you'd be upset by that. But Jones has
been a total failure before he got hurt, and he
just doesn't know how to play the position. It's fascinating
a guy could be drafted that high and not know
(25:35):
when to get rid of the football and just pocket
presence and all the basic stuff of playing quarterback. He
went to Duke, but he might as well have gone
to I don't know, a directional school somewhere the way
he was playing. And plus Danny dimes. He got paid,
the giants got played. He's getting forty million dollars. So
they ask you a tough question. God forbid. Suck it up, Buttercup.
(25:59):
It's not that hard, right. Your feelings got hurt? Oh
my god, what a shrinking violet.

Here we go it, Smeller, how about that to the
third degree. This is one big Ben gets grilled.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
I might have to work that in the TV show
so I can rip Derek Carr. What do we have here?
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Kobaloop?
Speaker 1 (27:02):
All right?
Speaker 8 (27:02):
Ben Shadoor Sanders is eligible for the twenty twenty four draft,
but according to Dion, Shador isn't going anywhere. Why would
we when we're having a great time here, Dion said, Ben,
do you think staying at Colorado is the right move?
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Yes, one hundred percent. Right. There's trear like rock stars there.
They're gonna improve the offensive line. They'll buy some fat
offensive lineman next year. But more importantly, Shadier Sanders is
making almost five million dollars a year in Colorado and
in the following draft he could be the number one
quarter He's not gonna be the number one quarterback in
this draft, so it makes sense to stay at Colorado.
(27:35):
You're making five million next.
Speaker 8 (27:38):
It was reported on Tuesday that don Manningly is one
of the candidates being considered as the Brewers new manager. Ben,
are you surprised that Donnie Baseball could be getting another
shot at the Helm?
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Well?
Speaker 1 (27:47):
No, the your team just hired Ron Washington for God's sake. No,
Maddi is a nice guy. He's he's got a big name.
If you're old, you remember when he played for the Yankees.
He's from the Midwest. He's pretty mellow. I can see
that working out for the Brewers. He's pretty boring with
the media. I can see that working out next.
Speaker 8 (28:04):
After coming away with a narrow win against the Thunder
last week, Steve Kerr issued a warning of sorts to
the league, saying, these guys are coming. Bet are the
Thunder a team to keep an eye on?
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Where are they going? Do we know where they're going?
Are they going to lunch? Are they gonna go to
the buffet? No, I'm not. I'm not concerned. They're not
on my radar. Shae Yogos Alexander's a good player. They
got a couple other guys that are decent. The NBA
will make sure they do not win. They're gonna make
sure they don't win anytime soon. How do we know, Cope,
you pass this, that is a win, you get put
on the Yeah, I want the game. I won the game.

a question in on x hashtag ask Ben. Otherwise ferg
Dog will bogart the entire segment. We now go over
to the Kooper loop for the reading of the questions.
All right, Ben, Yes, let's see. We're gonna start with
(29:25):
Lady Sideburns, one of my favorite women. Lady Sideburns wants
to know, when using public restrooms, do you flush with
your hand or your foot. I'm a foot I'm a
foot guy. I am. I got a bit of a
foot fetish when it comes to that. I normally when
it comes to that, well, no, I like to use
I got long legs. I might as well use the
long legs, and I will. I will usually reach the
(29:49):
foot over the toilet to flush the toilet. So that's
my move.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Eddie, I use my hand. You're such a pig. I
did have a nice lady walk in on me. I
was using the restroom in New York.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
You were in the ladies room.
Speaker 9 (30:03):
No, it was one of those unisex bathrooms and apparently
the lock did not work. Oh surprise, surprise, surprise, locked
on in and I was like, hi, there, she got
a show you.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
What are you sitting?
Speaker 3 (30:16):
I was not sitting. I was standing.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Your pants around your ankles Eddie were yeah, perhaps, wow,
how about that?
Speaker 9 (30:24):
So I walked out said sorry, you had to see that,
and she laughed that it wasn't anything I haven't seen before.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
She laughed at your private parts, Eddie. That's all right,
I was Sam.
Speaker 8 (30:38):
It depends on the type of flusher. If it's one
of those like stick flushers, I'll use my foot. If
it's like it kind of a more intimate restaurant where
it has the normal kind of in home flusher, I'll
have to use my hand.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
That's a little more difficult. You still use your foot.
You just got used the tip of your your toes movement.
I like the Costco toilets because those are really good
for your your foot because they're a stick, their industrial
strength toilets.
Speaker 8 (31:01):
Well, yeah, sometimes you'll have those like real flushing hard
that's usually this it's.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
A solid toilet, it's a it's a really good But
they spent a lot of money on toilets.
Speaker 8 (31:09):
Yet, what if it's one of those flat button ones
where you have to push. You really can't use your foot.
That's tough back of the ankle.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (31:21):
Man.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
The local man was found in the bathroom.
Speaker 9 (31:26):
Floor apparently flush the toilet cool please.
Speaker 8 (31:32):
I am a foot flusher, yeah, uh yeah, But I
don't think I've ever seen a regular home flusher out
in a public like Italian restaurant, because, like I mean,
not anytime lately, because like you said, nowadays it's got
even even like home toilets have the buttons.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Like, I gotta tell you another feature I like they
It's a left over from the COVID era. They have
the the foot pedal you can pull the door open.
Oh yeah, I like that. Yeah, I do like that.
That's a major up You could wash your hands there, you.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
Know what I mean.
Speaker 8 (32:07):
But obviously the censor ones that the automatic flushes, those
are sometimes the best. But sometimes those flush too early
and you're like moving and you're like, I'm not ready
to get out of here yet.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
All right, all right, why don't we pause for the cost?
You want more of ass man? By the way, there's
a major upgrade that I don't think any of us
have talked about on the air here at Fox Sports Radio,
and we will address that. We'll get to it. All right,
Well you might know what I'm talking about. Maybe not.
We'll get to that and more of your questions hashtag
ask Ben. It rolls on for our rest of the hour.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
All right, what do we got? Let's go with Let's
see here.
Speaker 8 (32:51):
Rory wants to know what is the longest you have
stayed in an all you can eat buffet?
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Well, I stay long. I was at the Paris Hotel
casino in Vegas years ago. I stayed long enough. I
thought I was going to die in the hotel room
that night because I had eaten so much. But it
was my my gallblader. I was there a long time.
What about you aready? Longest?
Speaker 9 (33:13):
I mean the all the ones I've gone to, they
usually have like a time limit. It's like a lunchtime buffet.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Like a twenty four second clock or something.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
I don't know.
Speaker 9 (33:24):
I mean a couple of hours. I guess, nothing too impressive.
Speaker 8 (33:28):
I feel like you're gonna get super full and then
you just want to go home and naps. So like,
why would you stay there too long? I don't I
don't think.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
It's an all day thing that you can just I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
I studied over the years, I've studied the buffet and
how they make money. And what they do is they
put the cheapest, most fattening food rolls right right, chicken.
They want you to fatten up on stuff that's the
least expensive. The really expensive stuff, the steak, the turkey,
the stuff that costs some legitimate money is at the
far end because they know you're gonna be lazy and
(34:01):
just go to the first thing you see, and then
you'll you will stop eating because you'll be full. Well.
Speaker 8 (34:06):
Back in my gorging days, I went to the buffet
right before the switch over from lunch to dinner.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
A solid yes, both, yes, exactly both, double your pleasure,
double your fun. Ye all right. I have a question
on asking why the hell are there their foam dice
in the studio. Is this Coveno and Rich? I'm guessing
this is not like Rob Parker's fuzzy like foam and
Rich dice, the dice of love I think they call them,
(34:36):
or something. Is that right? Yeah? Wow, all right, all.
Speaker 8 (34:40):
Right, We're gonna do two questions from Ferg dog Is.
They're good questions. The first one is going to be
do you find riding an airplanes enjoyable or stressful?
Speaker 1 (34:49):
I hate going to the airport waiting to get on
the plane. Like I don't mind when I have a seat,
if I have room, which is rare, I don't really
mind it. But everything about everything else about it, I hate.
It's very stressful, Eddie.
Speaker 9 (35:04):
Well as somebody who just uh, definitely stressful, never enjoyable.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
You're always going to miss your flight and all that.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
I worry about everything.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
Okay, I was saying.
Speaker 8 (35:15):
The only part I find enjoyable about flying is when
you're on the tarmac and you're speeding up, because I
find that to be very relaxing. And taking off. Otherwise,
the seats are very uncomfortable. I feel like my spine
is imploding after about two hours. Everyone's but hurts from sitting.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Is very weird.
Speaker 8 (35:31):
Literally, the only part of flying that I don't find enjoyable.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Is to take off. The takeoff because it's like the inertia,
you're like pulled back in the seat.
Speaker 8 (35:39):
It's like that's that's the most likely time that you're
going to crash.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
No, it's not.
Speaker 8 (35:46):
It is when you're still on the ground, though I
was told plot taking off and landing the most dangerous part.
Speaker 9 (35:53):
The hardest landing I've ever been a part of. Been
a part of in New York A seven seventy seven.
The thing bounced and exist four times.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
You need Sully Sullenburger or whatever his name was, to
lander and the Hudson It man.
Speaker 8 (36:06):
All right, Another question for for dog. If you accidentally
burn a bagel or toast pretty badly, do you still
eat it like a man? Or do you throw it
out off?
Speaker 1 (36:16):
I try to pick around the burn and eat it.
I try to salvage it, salvage and record.
Speaker 8 (36:21):
I'm like Geedy, you got a serrated steak knife and
you and you scrape that off.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
No part of the bagel left behind. You know, if
it's assuming it's not burn, you got you still gotta go.
If it's toast, you kind of got to throw it away.
It's hard to salvage toast, but a bagel, you can say,
scrapeover scrap.

Speaker 3 (36:52):

Speaker 1 (36:53):
But here's Eddie to update you on everything going on
in hockey as we puck the world.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
Not true. I will I will be in tomorrow, although.
Speaker 9 (37:02):
I planned on working pretty much. I guess, you know,
other than Thanksgiving, Christmas and no days off. I can
get a jury summons though.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
We're going to get a celebrity murder trial and you'll
be gone for seven months.
Speaker 9 (37:20):
No, please, please no, I've all I've never served jury
duty before. I've always been able to get off. I
actually want to be on the It would be fun.
You can go for a story I would love called
the federal jury duty.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
I got all excited a federal case, and then the
night before they said I wasn't needed. I was MoMA.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
I hope they say that to me too, because I
don't want.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
To do it.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
Let's start on the ice.
Speaker 9 (37:41):
In the NHL, every team is played around a dozen
or so games so far on the season, and even
with their loss last night, that if any Stanley Cup
champion Vegas Golden Knights still looking very strong, leading the
NHL with an eleven to one record twenty three points
so far on the season in Boston, despite losing key
players like Patrious Burger on a David Creechy to retirement.
The leading the Eastern conferently ten to one and one record,
(38:02):
which is a bit of a surprise. Other teams off
to good starts. The New York Rangers nine two and
one on the season, LA Kings are eight two and two,
and the color Avalanche are eight and three. Some surprise
teams so far in a good way. The Vancouver Canucks
are nine two and one and the Anaheim Ducks I
must grudgingly say are doing better than expected to.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
The way fack quack quack quack in the season.
Speaker 9 (38:23):
Disappointments so far the Edmonton Oilers, picked by a many
people to be Stanley Cup containers, two and eight so
far in the season. Start your Star. Cono McDavid is
like fiftieth in the NHL and scoring right now.

Party too much in the offseason.
Speaker 9 (38:36):
Pittsburgh Penguins are five and six on the ear, Toronto
mayple Leaves six five and two, and the Seattle crack
and four six and three on the season. Now, the
San Jose Sharks have not been just bad.

NHL record for eleven straight losses and start a season
with history and sites.

the team was stripped of a first round pick for
they're rolling an invalidated trade that involved the former players.
So basically the trade of this guy, you've getting the
down off to Vegas, and they didn't tell Vegas that
he had a no trade clause.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
I remember that.
Speaker 3 (39:20):
And they had up tried to trade into Anaheim.
Speaker 9 (39:22):
And then the league had to avoid the trade because
he had the Ducks on his list of teams he
wouldn't play for, and so that didn't sit well with
the Ducks.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
And the and the.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
Golden Knights, and so they took out that had been
a team that like a power, you know, Original sixteen,
they wouldn't have taken the first round draft as well.

That's that's speculation anyway. Fact Jack, So that cost Pierre
dorry On his job.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
