(01:42):
one man play. We'll go to football, and we'll start
out in Buffalo. And there's an interesting story. The Bills
are off to a solid start, right, Bills are off
to a good start. Everyone's all excited, right to Bill's
Mafia and all that. And that is where the Bills
are preparing for a big game this weekend, Week four,
kicking off tonight in the wacky world of the NFL.
(02:08):
And so a week before you've got the Bills a
playdate with Lamar Jackson and the Ravens.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
So that's the big game.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
But that is the backstory to Josh Allen, who is
feeding the content machine now. The Buffalo quarterback recently praised
his current group of receivers. In fact, we have the
audio on that. This is from the other day. Here's
Josh Allen. Listen to him waxing poetic about how good
everything is with the current crop of receivers.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Now, I know there's a lot of people talking out there. Again,
I'm not trying to tear down anybody. I've loved everybody
that I've played with. The everybody eats mentality, and again,
it could be your play, this play. You never know
when it's gonna happen. And that's that's the beauty of
it when guys get to buy into this and really
understand like I may not get the ball four or
(03:01):
five times thrown to me a game, but the one
or two times I do, I'm gonna have opportunities be
in the in zone. And you know, it's a fun
and wonderful thing when you got a bunch of guys
that don't care about the stats, they don't care about
the touchdowns. And again, I think throughout practice we've just
had this mindset of like, hey, let's just do things
the right way and find ways to win football games.
(03:23):
That's what we're doing right now, all right.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
So that was Alan the other day talking about the
everybody eats mentality, and so of course that was rather
obvious what he was implying there that things were different
now because Stefan Diggs no longer a member of the
Buffalo Bills is he was traded off to the Houston Texans.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
So that was.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Making the rounds and then Josh Allen attempted to clarify.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
If you will, what he meant let's go to the
audio tape.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Now. I know there's a lot of people talking out there. Again,
I'm not trying to tear down anybody. I've loved everybody
that I've played with, you know, and you don't have
to tear other people down to build each other up.
And you know, we're building each other up right now,
and that's all we're trying to do. We're trying to
stay together as a team, and we're really caring about
each other. And you know, everybody in this building's got
that feeling at a lot of alms, you know what
(04:13):
I mean?
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Yeah, you know, what do you mean?
Speaker 4 (04:15):
Former whether it's former players. Yeah, And again, I love
I love fourteen, I still do. But I everyone wants
to keep making this thing a thing. And you know,
we're so focused on what's going on inside of our
building and that's the only thing that we're caring about
right now.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
Maybe an off the.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Long question, all right, So so I don't know if
the anyone was on that, but Josh Allen said, now
he says, the Bills have a bunch of guys, as
you heard in these sound bites, a bunch of guys
who don't hear about stats. They don't hear about stats
and all that and touchdowns. However, however, he said, this
is not a shot at he said number fourteenth the
(04:53):
fawn Diggs, So not a shot. So how does that
sound to you? How does that sound to you? So
I've got machette, smoke bomb and regurgitating, and we will
tie all of these things together and we're going to
make some advil, some pharmacy grade ibuprofen is what we're
going to make.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
So a it sounds to me on this.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Side of the microphone like PR right, public relations is
what it sounds like. Josh Allen was obviously embellishing his
latest commentary the second SoundBite that we played, And now,
how do we know this?
Speaker 5 (05:29):
Right?
Speaker 3 (05:30):
How do we know this?
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Because he says that he has loved everybody, everybody that
he's played with. Now I did the mouth or math
on this. It is mathematically impossible for that to be true. Nobody,
nobody who has ever lived or will ever live, has
ever liked all of their coworkers. It doesn't exist, especially
(05:52):
in an NFL locker room, which is a melting pot.
You got players from all over. God's Free on Earth
right was about as subtle as a machete approaching your
neck with this commentary, and it's perfectly fine. Stefan Diggs
is your prototypical modern day devil wide receiver. In fact,
(06:16):
you didn't even say he's a throwback to an olden day.
You give me the damn ball, get out of the way.
It's all about how many times I get the ball.
It's not whether we win or not. That's Stefan Diggs.
And we said this for the last couple of years
in Buffalo, and Bill's mafia guys like Andy the comic
book guy and the others like, oh, you don't know
what you're talking about. Well, Josh Allen, even though he
(06:37):
tried to take it back, you can't put the toothpaste
back in the tube. You can't do it now. As
for this moment, the Bills do not have a Stefan Diggs.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
They don't.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Moreover, the actions speak louder than the words. If Josh
Allen had put his foot down okay and said, hey,
I love this guy number fourteen ste Fawn Diggs, and
I want Stefon Diggs to be in Buffalo, what do
you think would happen? Do you think Diggs would have
been traded me thinks not so much, right. I mean
(07:12):
the fact that he didn't raise a hulla ba loop.
The rumors are out there. The rumors have been going
out there for a year that Diggs could be traded
and Josh Allen did not step up, and you know
he obviously rubber stamped the trade by not speaking up.
Now pays two. We cannot go more than a couple
(07:34):
of minutes without mentioning the Cowboys now that the Cowboys
did not allow Dak Prescott to speak with the media
this week. The Cowboys played tonight. Thursday Night is a
Thursday show, So the Cowboys play the Giants. It's a
road game, something the Cowboys have not done, I believe,
play a Thursday road game. They've always played at home
(07:57):
on Thursday on the short week. But they play on
the road in New Jersey this week, and so Dak
did not speak to the local media in Dallas. The
question is there something more to this story? And I'm
nodding my head yes. Now the Cowboy pr people are like, well,
it was a short week and all that bullpucky. It
(08:19):
is illogical for that to be the reason. There's more
to the story, and the reason there's more to the story.
This is a smoke bomb. It's a smoke screen, is
what it is. Diversionary tactics. And here's why. Dak Prescott
he did have time to meet with the Amazon, the
NFL broadcaster's a friendly safe space, so he met with
(08:40):
Al Michaels and Herbie. They had their production meeting. Did
not meet with the local media. And it's never been
an issue before. Teams travel all the time on a
short week, and they always find time for the quarterback
to talk to the local media.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
So if me thinks if.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Dallas was three and zero and there was no between
Ceedee Lamb and Dak Prescott and all of that drama
O rama, and then I tend to think that Dak
Prescott would have been out there with bells and whistles on,
bright eyed and bushy tailed, and been talking to reporters
all right. Now, the last word here are never ending
(09:20):
obligatory reference in a Malard monologue to the life and
times of one Jason Kelsey and his brother Travis. Now
this one's about Travis Kelsey. So Travis Kelsey says that
he's only worried about one thing. What's that thing? Taylor swift. No,
he's worried about the Chiefs winning, right, And he says,
(09:41):
it's not about the catches, it's not about the yards.
It's about winning wins n losses, wins in blank getty
blank losses.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
So do you believe him?
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Do you believe that's really what it's all about? So
I don't I believe this is the company line. Kelsey
is merely gurgitating the talking points. It's like, well, you
don't have the stats. Last I checked. He's not the
mascot case wolf right, and mascot probably don't care about stats.
(10:13):
If you're the headliner and you're all over television, in
all forms of media, movies, it's it's a masculine it's
it's embarrassing, is what it is, right, and it's unbecoming
as well. He's a big player, a big player in
the in the case he attacked, and Travis Kelsey has
(10:34):
more endorsement dollars, according to one of the places I
looked online, more endorsement dollars than anyone else in his teammate.
Mahomes does not make you as much money for endorsements
as Travis Chelsea does. And he's out there fusing around
on Sundays, and he's not He's not getting it done
(10:56):
on the field. He's been marginalized and in many ways
stigma because there is a clear connection between his romance
the Taylor Swift, and his steep decline in production.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Still part of the pod.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Wel come in the beginning of another hour of The
Ben Mallard Show. We are in the air everywhere, denizens,
as we own the audio dance floor. We do, We
absolutely do, coast to coast, border the border in beyond,
on the vast and stratipherically powerful microphones of FSRE and
(11:47):
monating live from the Gong the Gong Show on the radio.
We're broadcasting live from the tierrack dot com studios. Tirect
dot com will help you get there. Unmatched selection, fast,
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand
(12:08):
recommended in starars. Tim mcdarby says about ten thousand stories
a day. Tire iraq dot com the way tire buying
should be. So our lead this hour is from the
NFL it's all NFL all the time, So South Beach adjacent, we're.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Gonna call this one.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
We all know that Tua Tonguea Bai Looa on a
nationally televised island game against Buffalo, Tua suffered a third concussion.
At least it might be four or five, who knows,
but at least three, and it happened on an island game.
In his NFL career, he's been marred by concussions. Now,
(12:49):
many people have written think pieces saying that Tuas should
retire and that he never played again and that kind
of thing.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
So we have no one for out. Though if you
have not heard, maybe not.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
We are told that to a tongue of Ailoa is
preparing to return to the Dolphins. He's hell bent on
playing again at least that's the story, and not retiring,
not leaving his NFL career behind. So the tell, if
you will, is that the Dolphins are not they're not
(13:22):
actively trying to acquire a quarterback. They have quartered the
market on suckbag quarterbacks in Miami. They just don't have
anyone who's any good. And if they can't run the ball,
they're not gonna be able to win any games. They
already won one against Jacksonville. But if they can't run
the ball, they don't have a quarterback, they're screwed, right,
(13:46):
And so everything is pointing towards to a tongue of
Bailoa at least attempting.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
To come back.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Now, he's not eligible to come back until I think
Week seven, So there's still several more games to go
before he's allowed to come back. But let us discuss
the question. Dolphins injured quarterback to a tongue of by
Loa apparently wants to play again this season. How does
this all play out? How does all this play out?
(14:15):
So I've got rubber goblin and ted nugent, and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make tires. You'll hear more about tires coming
up in a little bit. So number that's number. There
are a bunch of words that are being tossed out
(14:37):
about to a tongue about Loa, and at this point
it's all empty. There's no there there If you know
what I mean. It's this is like a marriage situation.
It's I know, it's a business relationship. It's like a marriage.
And they're in a contractual agreement. Here, it's an arranged marriage,
(14:58):
and you really have to look at the fine print.
Because Tua has publicly indicated he has to He has
to publicly indicate that he wants to play.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
For the Dolphins, even if he doesn't want to play again.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Even if Tua says I hate football, I never want
to put a helmet on again, he can't say that.
He has to play the game right and say that
he wants to come back, because if he says I'm retiring,
that's it, I'm done, as I understand it, then he
would end up losing millions and millions of dollars. So
(15:32):
he has to go through the bureaucracy of the NFL.
And the Dolphins, on the other hand, they have to
say they want to a back because if they don't.
Either way, if he wants to play, they got to
pay him. Right, he's under contract and so they have
to honor the deal. But where the rubber meets the
road is when we get to the point. I guess
(15:53):
it's like hockey. I think they still have this third
man in third man in right. So you got the
Dolphins on one side, who have to allow to a back.
You've got two on the other side that wants to
come back allegedly, So third man in would be a
brain surgeon, a brain doctor, a medical practitioner who will
(16:16):
determine whether or not they want to sign off on
allowing Tour to come back to the NFL. And as
long as he has all of his faculties and you
tell him here's what could happen, X, Y, and Z.
If you play and he wants to play, that's on him,
then you can medically clear Tua. The issue becomes downstream
(16:40):
liability that becomes a problem. But assuming you have everything
vetted by lawyers and you have an independent brain doctor,
then there is a path for two to come back
and play for the Dolphins. Now we go to Cleveland
where Deshaun Watson, that's my quarterback.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Now my quarterback, your quarterback.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Well, Deshaun Watson wants you to know that he is
not not a running back, and.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Just to prove that, let's go to the audio tape.
Speaker 6 (17:07):
But I don't have to run.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
I'm not gonna run.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
So really, I'm not trying to take any hits.
Speaker 6 (17:12):
Because I'm not a running quarterback in a sense. I
can make things happen, but I'm not trying to run.
I'm not running back. That's not my specialties.
Speaker 7 (17:20):
You know.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
They signed me to throw the ball, make decisions and
be a quarterback.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
Not runner.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
All right.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
So that was the creepy quarterback as we call them,
Deshaun Watson, who pushed back on the idea that the
Browns should have him run the ball more more designed
runs for the quarterback, saying he's not a running back,
So how does that one hit you? So it's on brand.
Deshaun Watson ever since he got from Cleveland has been
(17:47):
a hot mess. And this continues and it's like he's
in goblin mode, just disheveled and just a hot mess
there with the Brownies. Most of the quarterbacks shop. Maybe
I'm wrong on this, you can correct me, but most
of the quarterback's job is decision making. Right decision making.
When you hold it, that's fine, but you're more likely
(18:11):
to get sacked. But when to hold it, when to
throw it, when to run? And are you making the
right decision? And the evidence, the overwhelming evidence beyond a
reasonable doubt, is that Watson, more times than not, is
not making the right decision. Now, many people to pointed
out the Browns offensive line sucks, and it is true
(18:32):
there are a backup offensive line and playing for the Browns. However,
there are ways you can mitigate an offensive line by
making quicker decisions. Right, Watson is being paid a premium
to play quarterback, but he's being played paid a premium
and he's provided nothing. But he's provided nothing but piecemeal results.
(18:56):
So maybe you should try running because throwing the ball
is not that well all right, now, final point. Here
a viral clip from the past the weekend in the
NFL shows Caleb Williams. I don't know if you saw
this or not, in that Bears game with the Colts,
he gets all fed up with the OC, Shane Waldron,
(19:17):
the old Seahawks and Ram Coach. So what do you
make of that? He seemed pretty upset. He had a
lot of gyrations there, Caleb Williams. So the way I
interpreted it, in the way what I make of the
video clip is Caleb Williams. He went ted nugent, little
(19:39):
cat scratch fevers where he went right, bad body language,
poudy face. Now, I'm an amateur lip reader, and based
on what I was able to determine from looking at
Caleb Williams, and his verbal diatribe. His question was what
are we doing?
Speaker 3 (19:59):
That's what it looked like to me.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
So based on that, and the Bears off to a
terrible start offensively in terms of the passing.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Game this year.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
They play the Rams this weekend, so things should yet
a bit easier. The Rams have no defense. I mean,
they are brutally. I don't know how they beat the
forty nine er. They can't stop the pass at all.
But that's a different conversation. But anyway, so Caleb Williams,
he's upset. It appears to be already fed up with
his coach, his direct coach, the offensive coordinated there in Chicago.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
So the obvious thing is, well that didn't take very long.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
The Bears have the NFL's twenty fifth ranked passing offense.
It's only been three games, all right, Well that's every
team's played the same amount of games, and the Bears
are twenty fifth out of thirty two and they had
the number one overall pack and never never played before
(20:54):
this year in the NFL. Obviously, Caleb Williams, and he obviously,
based on his body, which thinks he knows knows more
than the offensive coordinator. Maybe he does But here's the
other thing. I'm pretty sure the Bears do allow their
quarterback to audible, So now not all the time. But
(21:15):
if the play is that bad, the play being called
is that terrible, isn't it possible that you would be
able to audible out of it? And I don't know,
call the different play, change the play at the line
of scrimmage, or do they not trust Caleb Williams to
do that?
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Who knows? Inquiring minds would like to know.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacificor how
about that? To the third degree, this is one big
Ben gets great.
Speaker 7 (21:48):
And there are five teams in the NFL that remain
undefeated to three weeks. Which are those teams, if any,
do you consider to be the biggest frauds.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
So I'm gonna go with Seattle on this.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
And here's why I know, No Streudinis is not gonna
lie this in Seattle and the other guys that.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Are Chris Pray, yeah, but they play.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Here's who they played, Bo Knicks first NFL game ever,
Jacoby Burssett, who blows, and someone named Skyler Thompson for
the Dolphins, so they're not exactly battle tested. And if
you look at that, the Broncos and Patriots and none
of those teams are going to.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Be playoff teams.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
So I have Seattle as the biggest question mark among
the teams that have won all their games.
Speaker 7 (22:28):
Next, Bill Belichick made a recent podcast appearance where he
suggested that the NFL should retire Jim Brown's number thirty
two league wide, like Major League Baseball date for Jackie Robinson. Ben,
could you see the NFL doing this?
Speaker 1 (22:40):
No, for two reasons. Jim Brown's dead, That's the first reason.
And number two, there are some skeletons. Jim liked to
punch women, which generally the NFL does not like that,
so that'd be a tough sell. And you know how
I feel, Coop, I hate retired numbers, you know, just
in general. I don't like them. Sam, I am all right?
(23:02):
What is next?
Speaker 7 (23:03):
Dave Kanalen said on Tuesday, Andy's our quarterback. He gives
us our best chance to win. Ben, what do you
think the Panthers ceiling is wins y is now with
Dalton under center?
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Well, then, instead of being one of the bottom three
teams with assuming Dalton. I feel luckily get hurt the
next couple of weeks. But as long as he's playing,
they have a chance to compete, and so I could
be like a seven. The division is not very good.
They win seven or seven games or so and at
least have a decent season, which is better than what
they've had in recent years.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
How did we go? He passes? That is a winner.

All right, so for this question, I feel like I'm
gonna think of something that's a better answer later on.
I'm gonna be mad at myself for all right, current answer.
But emme, it's the blind Seahawks man blind Eddy.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
The guy's blind. I've seen him blind.
Speaker 7 (24:59):
He would like to know what's your favorite restaurant signature sauce.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Let's see here, signature sauce at a restaurant.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
You know what?
Speaker 3 (25:11):
I like that it's not at a restaurant, but that
Ken's honey mustard. Is that what? It is?
Speaker 5 (25:17):
Pretty good?
Speaker 3 (25:18):
Sweet baby raised barbecue sauce. Those are those are not what?
Those are sauces?
Speaker 7 (25:22):
Those are not signature sauces at a restaurant.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Well, they sell them at restaurants sometimes they have at restaurants.
Speaker 7 (25:27):
You can get it at restaurant that well, that that
wouldn't be their signature sauce. That would be a brand.
But I know your answer, band, I'm surprised you. You
probably just will raising Chane sauce.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
It's good. I like raising I don't know if it's
like the greatest thing that in the entire world. Well
what about you, Eddie?
Speaker 5 (25:44):
Yeah, I'll go with that as well.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
That means that he had no answer and he just
copied what about you? Larina.
Speaker 8 (25:51):
I think it's probably because I was born and raised
at a Red Robin, but I really like their campfire
sauce and their honey poppy. Their honey poppy is my
favorite honey mustard of any honey mustard.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Oh yeah, it's the honey mustard with the black spots poppy.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Yet I always wonder what that was.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
I thought it was like rotting or something, little black
spots and the honey mustard.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
What happened to it? Who?
Speaker 7 (26:15):
So, I don't know if this is technically a sauce.
But there's a place out here or there's they have
so many locations called Zanku Chicken.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
I think that's just in l a place though. I
don't think he's national.
Speaker 7 (26:28):
No, No, it's not national, it's you know, southern California.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Fun fact, there's two different versions of that restaurant.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
Yes.
Speaker 7 (26:36):
The family murder, Yeah, yeah, it's it's a crazy story.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
It was a.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Murder, Yeah, it was a murder.
Speaker 7 (26:42):
Big, big tricken tricky, the guy who founded the restaurant,
his like wife, his owns. One part is at well,
you know, his widow. Yeah, and then the kids on
the other half.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Big chicken brew ha ha yeah.
Speaker 7 (26:55):
One of the brothers like murdered the other. But it
was it's crazy. But they have this. They have this
garlic paste. It's more of a paste than a sauce.
And it's so good, so good, outstanding. All right, moving on,
let's ask bed your questions are answered. Cowboy Killer would
like to know, my cowboy, do you fold your clothes
(27:18):
right after you wash or do you leave it for later?
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Well, I'm not the laundry guy at the house, but
when I do do the laundry, they usually sit around
for maybe a week or something, and then you fold
them after that.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Sometimes they never even get folded. What about you, Eddie.
Speaker 9 (27:33):
My wife will take out my clothes and the dryer
and she'll throw them on the couch and then I
have to will hold them immediately because I don't. The
dogs will jump on there because they're nice and toasty
and go to sleep.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
And lay and you'll have dog all over your.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
They smell fine.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Do they shed to your dog. No, they don't really.
Speaker 8 (27:53):
All right, well, rain, no, I kind of don't.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
You don't do laundry, you just wear dirty clothes.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
I do.
Speaker 8 (28:04):
I do every day. Sometimes they wait for a day
or two. And I never match my socks. I have
a bag of socks that just.
Speaker 5 (28:11):
Sits in the corner of my room.
Speaker 8 (28:12):
Yeah, because you waste like eight years of your life
matching socks.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
I think I read that somewhere.
Speaker 8 (28:17):
Really, Yeah, but I do like to fold my other
stuff that can rink wrinkle easily.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Okay.
Speaker 8 (28:22):
I don't have dogs or cats to get hair on
anything like you guys.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Yeah, all right, fair enough our coop.
Speaker 7 (28:28):
So my clothes will sit in the dryer and just
every day I will go in there and grab whatever
I'm gonna wear, and until until my wife needs to
use the dryer for her clothes. Then they get all
dumped in a hamper, and then I will grab from
the hamper until they are all gone.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
So you don't even have like a place to put
your clothes.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
I do.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
I just they just never get there. Okay, all right,
got you?
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Yeah, I mean they usually like once every two weeks
everything gets put away, but other than that, not so much.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
All right, what is next? What do we have here?
Speaker 7 (29:05):
The King? Rory would like to Rory, would you park
in a handicap spot just to run a quick.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Errand no no, my mom used handicap parking and that
she used to go. So it's so upset when we
drive up to a place and it be somebody in
like a BMW that was you know, in his early
thirties and in the parking in the handicap place.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
So no, I don't. I don't do that. I mean,
plus I get more steps if I park further away.
What about you, Eddie?
Speaker 9 (29:33):
Probably not, maybe in rare circumstances, if it was. Sometimes
I'll go to the grocery store, like right after I
get off work because there's nobody there if I have
to pick up like two or three.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Yeah, I like doing that too.
Speaker 9 (29:42):
And there's like there's literally the parking lots empty, and
so you know, there's.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Listen to somebody they're not gonna name is, but there's
somebody that may or may not be on our morning
show that occasionally parks in the handicap space here.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Yeah. Really yeah, but Rain, No, I don't do that bad,
No not you.
Speaker 8 (29:58):
Oh no, I've never done that I don't think I
ever will.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
All right, I don't want to get arrested. I don't think.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
You never know. It was a little arrested for stealing
her cars, Eddie. They were in LA. They had Andrew
Bynum got dangs for that.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
He was a lafer center and Cade McNown You see
a quarterback cool?
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Uh No, I do not do that.
Speaker 7 (30:24):
But at my grocery store there is these two spots
that say for coffee customers only. I park in those
all the time.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Yeah, but I've know it's also I hate this.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Since COVID they have pickup spots like one, two, three,
four or five.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
I'll parking those all the time. Screw those people.
Speaker 8 (30:40):
It's the family parking that bugs me. Ben yea where
it says moms and babies can work here?
Speaker 3 (30:45):
What is that trucrew?
Speaker 5 (30:47):
Those babies?
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Who cares about the baby? No children? No children.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller

Puck all of it. Oh, it's pucked the world with
petty guardcy on.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
We'll see you can plain daddy and there you go.
Speaker 5 (31:08):
How about that? Exciting?
Speaker 3 (31:11):
Very exclay, play it again, played again, played again.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Please just fuck this, fuck all of it. It's pucked
the world with Petty Garcia.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Now I would have touched it up and said, and
puck you is what I would have said at the
end of that.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
But anyway, go ahead.
Speaker 9 (31:28):
Well, you know, let's not be too picky with back.
Lucky we got back and the old is it.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
When I started in LA radio, there was a show
called The Big Puckin' Hockey Show.
Speaker 9 (31:36):
All right, yeah, never heard of it. We are eight
days away from the start of the NHL season. First
game of the year will be overseas in Prague October
the fourth Devils versus Sabers. I'm sure Andy the comic
book guy will be telling us how the Sabers are
going to win the Stanley Cup after that game. First
North American regular season games will be on October the eighth. Now,
contract extension talks are ongoing between the New York Rangers
(31:57):
and star goalie Igorsh is stirking, but apparently things aren't
not close to a resolution.
Speaker 4 (32:01):
Now.
Speaker 9 (32:02):
He's considered the top goalie in the league entering the
final year of his contract, could be an unrestricted free
agent at the end of the season, looking to be
the highest paid goalie in NHL history. He wants twelve
million per season. Rangers reportedly said, well, they're looking to
they'll let him be the highest paid goalie, which right
now would be ten point five million, but apparently they
don't want to get that twelve million salary that he wants,
so right now again they're figuring it out. She's just
(32:24):
stric and former Vesna Trophy winners, the top goalie and
former finalists for.
Speaker 5 (32:28):
The MVP of the Heart Trophy as well.
Speaker 9 (32:30):
Meanwhile, Boston Bruins are a week in a training camp
and they're still without their holdout goalie Jeremy Swayman. Two
sides negotiating a new deal. Swayman a restricted free agent.
What's ten million per season? The Bruins are reportedly offering
eight million per season. More goalie talk. Vegas Golden Knights
that miner Robin Leonard no show for a medical checkup
as he remains on long term injured reserve. Now because
(32:51):
of that, he doesn't count against the salary cap and
he receives four point four million dollars to not play.
Speaker 5 (32:56):
Pretty good deal. Now, why he didn't report is unknown.
Speaker 9 (32:59):
I can be or if I was gonna get paid
four point four million just to do a physical, I
would be right there as soon as the door open.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
You know what that reminds me of Lamar Jackson. Didn't
he do the same thing.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
He missed workouts and he was going to get a
check for like four hundred thousand dollars just by showing
up to a certain amount of practices.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
He never did with the Ravens.
Speaker 9 (33:13):
True, but this is four point four million, and this
is just for a physical, and that's all he has
to do.
Speaker 5 (33:18):
He doesn't to do anything else.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
Maybe he wouldn't pass the physical.
Speaker 5 (33:21):
How about that they don't want him to pass the physical.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (33:25):
I don't get it either.
Speaker 9 (33:25):
But he had hip surgery in August of twenty twenty
two has not played since. Vancouver Canucks goalie Thatcher Demco
is limited on ice activity. Suffered a setback in the
offseason after had a lower body injury in the playoffs
last year. Says he's confident he'll get back to full
health at some point this season, but no timeline for
his return, and it looks certain he will not be
ready for the start of the regular season. La King's
(33:46):
veteran devincement drew down. He suffered an ugly ankle injury
or a foot injury last night in the preseason game
against Vegas, went awkwardly into the boards.
Speaker 5 (33:52):
No word on the severity, but it did not look good.
Speaker 9 (33:55):
After thirty seven seasons, Yard Marry Yager's storied career at
professional hockey maybe coming to a close.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
Fifty two years old, he's so old. I covered him.
Speaker 9 (34:05):
He says he intends to retire at the end of
the season, and it is it is.
Speaker 5 (34:12):
He seems like he's kind of leaving the door a
little bit open. He's playing over in the Czech League.
Speaker 9 (34:15):
He actually owns the team in klondo is hometown, but
he says, I.
Speaker 5 (34:21):
Have not ever been to the beautiful Czech Republic. I'm
sure it's lovely.
Speaker 9 (34:25):
Ottawa Senators have an agreement to build a new downtown
arena in the Canadian capitol.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
You're going to try to win again.
Speaker 5 (34:31):
I don't know.
Speaker 9 (34:32):
About that, but they've been looking for a new home
in the uh kind of your downtown for a while.
They've been on the outskirts there since nineteen eighty six.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Ford or the taxpayers of Ottawa, Oh I'm sure they're
not paying for it.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
Of course.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
Well, Steve Balmer built his own arena, you rip it,
but with his own money.
Speaker 5 (34:51):
Good for him.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (34:52):
Carolina Hurricanes beat the Tampa Bay Lightning two under a
preseason game last night. It featured Carolina prospects Skyler Brinda
Moore playing his.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
First SWaCH Jack Rodd, Brinda Moore's kid.
Speaker 9 (35:01):
That is, in fact, the head coach of the Hurricanes
son Rod Brenda Moore. I not have hockey knowledge, Eddy,
I have Rod's good good player. Rodmore knowledge on your
parting good player. And finally, a guy gadro the father
of Johnny and Matthew Gudau, who were tragedally killed and
by a drunk driver, was invited to Philadelphia Flyers practice
by head coach John Tortorella. Guy Gudreau was a former
(35:23):
high school hockey coach. He coached both of his sons
at Gloucester Catholic High School near Philadelphia, and Tortorella said
he has an open invite.
Speaker 5 (35:31):
To come out and hang out with the team anytime
he wants. So A nice gesture there by, your guys.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Torts is not a complete a hole. He's got a
soft side.
Speaker 9 (35:38):
That's absolutely true. It's absolutely true, and that is your puck.

That's right, fellow Commoners, as we are an off Broadway show.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
If you will coast to coast.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Border, the border and beyond on the vast and superintley
powerful microphones of fs are and monating live from the box,
the condescending and patronizing chatterbox. We're broadcasting live from the
tiraq dot com studios. Tirack dot com will help you
(01:18):
get there. An unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road
hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended in starars og
art puffin. Since about ten thousand messages on social media
per day. There ti rack dot com the way tire
buying should be. So earlead this hour, play the Hits,
(01:42):
one man play. We'll go to football, and we'll start
out in Buffalo. And there's an interesting story. The Bills
are off to a solid start, right, Bills are off
to a good start. Everyone's all excited, right to Bill's
Mafia and all that. And that is where the Bills
are preparing for a big game this weekend, Week four,
kicking off tonight in the wacky world of the NFL.
(02:08):
And so a week before you've got the Bills a
playdate with Lamar Jackson and the Ravens.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
So that's the big game.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
But that is the backstory to Josh Allen, who is
feeding the content machine now. The Buffalo quarterback recently praised
his current group of receivers. In fact, we have the
audio on that. This is from the other day. Here's
Josh Allen. Listen to him waxing poetic about how good
everything is with the current crop of receivers.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Now, I know there's a lot of people talking out there. Again,
I'm not trying to tear down anybody. I've loved everybody
that I've played with. The everybody eats mentality, and again,
it could be your play, this play. You never know
when it's gonna happen. And that's that's the beauty of
it when guys get to buy into this and really
understand like I may not get the ball four or
(03:01):
five times thrown to me a game, but the one
or two times I do, I'm gonna have opportunities be
in the in zone. And you know, it's a fun
and wonderful thing when you got a bunch of guys
that don't care about the stats, they don't care about
the touchdowns. And again, I think throughout practice we've just
had this mindset of like, hey, let's just do things
the right way and find ways to win football games.
(03:23):
That's what we're doing right now, all right.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
So that was Alan the other day talking about the
everybody eats mentality, and so of course that was rather
obvious what he was implying there that things were different
now because Stefan Diggs no longer a member of the
Buffalo Bills is he was traded off to the Houston Texans.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
So that was.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Making the rounds and then Josh Allen attempted to clarify.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
If you will, what he meant let's go to the
audio tape.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Now. I know there's a lot of people talking out there. Again,
I'm not trying to tear down anybody. I've loved everybody
that I've played with, you know, and you don't have
to tear other people down to build each other up.
And you know, we're building each other up right now,
and that's all we're trying to do. We're trying to
stay together as a team, and we're really caring about
each other. And you know, everybody in this building's got
that feeling at a lot of alms, you know what
(04:13):
I mean?
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Yeah, you know, what do you mean?
Speaker 4 (04:15):
Former whether it's former players. Yeah, And again, I love
I love fourteen, I still do. But I everyone wants
to keep making this thing a thing. And you know,
we're so focused on what's going on inside of our
building and that's the only thing that we're caring about
right now.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
Maybe an off the.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Long question, all right, So so I don't know if
the anyone was on that, but Josh Allen said, now
he says, the Bills have a bunch of guys, as
you heard in these sound bites, a bunch of guys
who don't hear about stats. They don't hear about stats
and all that and touchdowns. However, however, he said, this
is not a shot at he said number fourteenth the
(04:53):
fawn Diggs, So not a shot. So how does that
sound to you? How does that sound to you? So
I've got machette, smoke bomb and regurgitating, and we will
tie all of these things together and we're going to
make some advil, some pharmacy grade ibuprofen is what we're
going to make.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
So a it sounds to me on this.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Side of the microphone like PR right, public relations is
what it sounds like. Josh Allen was obviously embellishing his
latest commentary the second SoundBite that we played, And now,
how do we know this?
Speaker 5 (05:29):
Right?
Speaker 3 (05:30):
How do we know this?
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Because he says that he has loved everybody, everybody that
he's played with. Now I did the mouth or math
on this. It is mathematically impossible for that to be true. Nobody,
nobody who has ever lived or will ever live, has
ever liked all of their coworkers. It doesn't exist, especially
(05:52):
in an NFL locker room, which is a melting pot.
You got players from all over. God's Free on Earth
right was about as subtle as a machete approaching your
neck with this commentary, and it's perfectly fine. Stefan Diggs
is your prototypical modern day devil wide receiver. In fact,
(06:16):
you didn't even say he's a throwback to an olden day.
You give me the damn ball, get out of the way.
It's all about how many times I get the ball.
It's not whether we win or not. That's Stefan Diggs.
And we said this for the last couple of years
in Buffalo, and Bill's mafia guys like Andy the comic
book guy and the others like, oh, you don't know
what you're talking about. Well, Josh Allen, even though he
(06:37):
tried to take it back, you can't put the toothpaste
back in the tube. You can't do it now. As
for this moment, the Bills do not have a Stefan Diggs.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
They don't.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Moreover, the actions speak louder than the words. If Josh
Allen had put his foot down okay and said, hey,
I love this guy number fourteen ste Fawn Diggs, and
I want Stefon Diggs to be in Buffalo, what do
you think would happen? Do you think Diggs would have
been traded me thinks not so much, right. I mean
(07:12):
the fact that he didn't raise a hulla ba loop.
The rumors are out there. The rumors have been going
out there for a year that Diggs could be traded
and Josh Allen did not step up, and you know
he obviously rubber stamped the trade by not speaking up.
Now pays two. We cannot go more than a couple
(07:34):
of minutes without mentioning the Cowboys now that the Cowboys
did not allow Dak Prescott to speak with the media
this week. The Cowboys played tonight. Thursday Night is a
Thursday show, So the Cowboys play the Giants. It's a
road game, something the Cowboys have not done, I believe,
play a Thursday road game. They've always played at home
(07:57):
on Thursday on the short week. But they play on
the road in New Jersey this week, and so Dak
did not speak to the local media in Dallas. The
question is there something more to this story? And I'm
nodding my head yes. Now the Cowboy pr people are like, well,
it was a short week and all that bullpucky. It
(08:19):
is illogical for that to be the reason. There's more
to the story, and the reason there's more to the story.
This is a smoke bomb. It's a smoke screen, is
what it is. Diversionary tactics. And here's why. Dak Prescott
he did have time to meet with the Amazon, the
NFL broadcaster's a friendly safe space, so he met with
(08:40):
Al Michaels and Herbie. They had their production meeting. Did
not meet with the local media. And it's never been
an issue before. Teams travel all the time on a
short week, and they always find time for the quarterback
to talk to the local media.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
So if me thinks if.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Dallas was three and zero and there was no between
Ceedee Lamb and Dak Prescott and all of that drama
O rama, and then I tend to think that Dak
Prescott would have been out there with bells and whistles on,
bright eyed and bushy tailed, and been talking to reporters
all right. Now, the last word here are never ending
(09:20):
obligatory reference in a Malard monologue to the life and
times of one Jason Kelsey and his brother Travis. Now
this one's about Travis Kelsey. So Travis Kelsey says that
he's only worried about one thing. What's that thing? Taylor swift. No,
he's worried about the Chiefs winning, right, And he says,
(09:41):
it's not about the catches, it's not about the yards.
It's about winning wins n losses, wins in blank getty
blank losses.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
So do you believe him?
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Do you believe that's really what it's all about? So
I don't I believe this is the company line. Kelsey
is merely gurgitating the talking points. It's like, well, you
don't have the stats. Last I checked. He's not the
mascot case wolf right, and mascot probably don't care about stats.
(10:13):
If you're the headliner and you're all over television, in
all forms of media, movies, it's it's a masculine it's
it's embarrassing, is what it is, right, and it's unbecoming
as well. He's a big player, a big player in
the in the case he attacked, and Travis Kelsey has
(10:34):
more endorsement dollars, according to one of the places I
looked online, more endorsement dollars than anyone else in his teammate.
Mahomes does not make you as much money for endorsements
as Travis Chelsea does. And he's out there fusing around
on Sundays, and he's not He's not getting it done
(10:56):
on the field. He's been marginalized and in many ways
stigma because there is a clear connection between his romance
the Taylor Swift, and his steep decline in production.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Still part of the pod.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Wel come in the beginning of another hour of The
Ben Mallard Show. We are in the air everywhere, denizens,
as we own the audio dance floor. We do, We
absolutely do, coast to coast, border the border in beyond,
on the vast and stratipherically powerful microphones of FSRE and
(11:47):
monating live from the Gong the Gong Show on the radio.
We're broadcasting live from the tierrack dot com studios. Tirect
dot com will help you get there. Unmatched selection, fast,
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand
(12:08):
recommended in starars. Tim mcdarby says about ten thousand stories
a day. Tire iraq dot com the way tire buying
should be. So our lead this hour is from the
NFL it's all NFL all the time, So South Beach adjacent, we're.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Gonna call this one.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
We all know that Tua Tonguea Bai Looa on a
nationally televised island game against Buffalo, Tua suffered a third concussion.
At least it might be four or five, who knows,
but at least three, and it happened on an island game.
In his NFL career, he's been marred by concussions. Now,
(12:49):
many people have written think pieces saying that Tuas should
retire and that he never played again and that kind
of thing.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
So we have no one for out. Though if you
have not heard, maybe not.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
We are told that to a tongue of Ailoa is
preparing to return to the Dolphins. He's hell bent on
playing again at least that's the story, and not retiring,
not leaving his NFL career behind. So the tell, if
you will, is that the Dolphins are not they're not
(13:22):
actively trying to acquire a quarterback. They have quartered the
market on suckbag quarterbacks in Miami. They just don't have
anyone who's any good. And if they can't run the ball,
they're not gonna be able to win any games. They
already won one against Jacksonville. But if they can't run
the ball, they don't have a quarterback, they're screwed, right,
(13:46):
And so everything is pointing towards to a tongue of
Bailoa at least attempting.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
To come back.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Now, he's not eligible to come back until I think
Week seven, So there's still several more games to go
before he's allowed to come back. But let us discuss
the question. Dolphins injured quarterback to a tongue of by
Loa apparently wants to play again this season. How does
this all play out? How does all this play out?
(14:15):
So I've got rubber goblin and ted nugent, and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make tires. You'll hear more about tires coming
up in a little bit. So number that's number. There
are a bunch of words that are being tossed out
(14:37):
about to a tongue about Loa, and at this point
it's all empty. There's no there there If you know
what I mean. It's this is like a marriage situation.
It's I know, it's a business relationship. It's like a marriage.
And they're in a contractual agreement. Here, it's an arranged marriage,
(14:58):
and you really have to look at the fine print.
Because Tua has publicly indicated he has to He has
to publicly indicate that he wants to play.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
For the Dolphins, even if he doesn't want to play again.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Even if Tua says I hate football, I never want
to put a helmet on again, he can't say that.
He has to play the game right and say that
he wants to come back, because if he says I'm retiring,
that's it, I'm done, as I understand it, then he
would end up losing millions and millions of dollars. So
(15:32):
he has to go through the bureaucracy of the NFL.
And the Dolphins, on the other hand, they have to
say they want to a back because if they don't.
Either way, if he wants to play, they got to
pay him. Right, he's under contract and so they have
to honor the deal. But where the rubber meets the
road is when we get to the point. I guess
(15:53):
it's like hockey. I think they still have this third
man in third man in right. So you got the
Dolphins on one side, who have to allow to a back.
You've got two on the other side that wants to
come back allegedly, So third man in would be a
brain surgeon, a brain doctor, a medical practitioner who will
(16:16):
determine whether or not they want to sign off on
allowing Tour to come back to the NFL. And as
long as he has all of his faculties and you
tell him here's what could happen, X, Y, and Z.
If you play and he wants to play, that's on him,
then you can medically clear Tua. The issue becomes downstream
(16:40):
liability that becomes a problem. But assuming you have everything
vetted by lawyers and you have an independent brain doctor,
then there is a path for two to come back
and play for the Dolphins. Now we go to Cleveland
where Deshaun Watson, that's my quarterback.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Now my quarterback, your quarterback.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Well, Deshaun Watson wants you to know that he is
not not a running back, and.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Just to prove that, let's go to the audio tape.
Speaker 6 (17:07):
But I don't have to run.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
I'm not gonna run.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
So really, I'm not trying to take any hits.
Speaker 6 (17:12):
Because I'm not a running quarterback in a sense. I
can make things happen, but I'm not trying to run.
I'm not running back. That's not my specialties.
Speaker 7 (17:20):
You know.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
They signed me to throw the ball, make decisions and
be a quarterback.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
Not runner.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
All right.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
So that was the creepy quarterback as we call them,
Deshaun Watson, who pushed back on the idea that the
Browns should have him run the ball more more designed
runs for the quarterback, saying he's not a running back,
So how does that one hit you? So it's on brand.
Deshaun Watson ever since he got from Cleveland has been
(17:47):
a hot mess. And this continues and it's like he's
in goblin mode, just disheveled and just a hot mess
there with the Brownies. Most of the quarterbacks shop. Maybe
I'm wrong on this, you can correct me, but most
of the quarterback's job is decision making. Right decision making.
When you hold it, that's fine, but you're more likely
(18:11):
to get sacked. But when to hold it, when to
throw it, when to run? And are you making the
right decision? And the evidence, the overwhelming evidence beyond a
reasonable doubt, is that Watson, more times than not, is
not making the right decision. Now, many people to pointed
out the Browns offensive line sucks, and it is true
(18:32):
there are a backup offensive line and playing for the Browns. However,
there are ways you can mitigate an offensive line by
making quicker decisions. Right, Watson is being paid a premium
to play quarterback, but he's being played paid a premium
and he's provided nothing. But he's provided nothing but piecemeal results.
(18:56):
So maybe you should try running because throwing the ball
is not that well all right, now, final point. Here
a viral clip from the past the weekend in the
NFL shows Caleb Williams. I don't know if you saw
this or not, in that Bears game with the Colts,
he gets all fed up with the OC, Shane Waldron,
(19:17):
the old Seahawks and Ram Coach. So what do you
make of that? He seemed pretty upset. He had a
lot of gyrations there, Caleb Williams. So the way I
interpreted it, in the way what I make of the
video clip is Caleb Williams. He went ted nugent, little
(19:39):
cat scratch fevers where he went right, bad body language,
poudy face. Now, I'm an amateur lip reader, and based
on what I was able to determine from looking at
Caleb Williams, and his verbal diatribe. His question was what
are we doing?
Speaker 3 (19:59):
That's what it looked like to me.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
So based on that, and the Bears off to a
terrible start offensively in terms of the passing.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Game this year.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
They play the Rams this weekend, so things should yet
a bit easier. The Rams have no defense. I mean,
they are brutally. I don't know how they beat the
forty nine er. They can't stop the pass at all.
But that's a different conversation. But anyway, so Caleb Williams,
he's upset. It appears to be already fed up with
his coach, his direct coach, the offensive coordinated there in Chicago.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
So the obvious thing is, well that didn't take very long.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
The Bears have the NFL's twenty fifth ranked passing offense.
It's only been three games, all right, Well that's every
team's played the same amount of games, and the Bears
are twenty fifth out of thirty two and they had
the number one overall pack and never never played before
(20:54):
this year in the NFL. Obviously, Caleb Williams, and he obviously,
based on his body, which thinks he knows knows more
than the offensive coordinator. Maybe he does But here's the
other thing. I'm pretty sure the Bears do allow their
quarterback to audible, So now not all the time. But
(21:15):
if the play is that bad, the play being called
is that terrible, isn't it possible that you would be
able to audible out of it? And I don't know,
call the different play, change the play at the line
of scrimmage, or do they not trust Caleb Williams to
do that?
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Who knows? Inquiring minds would like to know.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacificor how
about that? To the third degree, this is one big
Ben gets great.
Speaker 7 (21:48):
And there are five teams in the NFL that remain
undefeated to three weeks. Which are those teams, if any,
do you consider to be the biggest frauds.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
So I'm gonna go with Seattle on this.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
And here's why I know, No Streudinis is not gonna
lie this in Seattle and the other guys that.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Are Chris Pray, yeah, but they play.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Here's who they played, Bo Knicks first NFL game ever,
Jacoby Burssett, who blows, and someone named Skyler Thompson for
the Dolphins, so they're not exactly battle tested. And if
you look at that, the Broncos and Patriots and none
of those teams are going to.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Be playoff teams.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
So I have Seattle as the biggest question mark among
the teams that have won all their games.
Speaker 7 (22:28):
Next, Bill Belichick made a recent podcast appearance where he
suggested that the NFL should retire Jim Brown's number thirty
two league wide, like Major League Baseball date for Jackie Robinson. Ben,
could you see the NFL doing this?
Speaker 1 (22:40):
No, for two reasons. Jim Brown's dead, That's the first reason.
And number two, there are some skeletons. Jim liked to
punch women, which generally the NFL does not like that,
so that'd be a tough sell. And you know how
I feel, Coop, I hate retired numbers, you know, just
in general. I don't like them. Sam, I am all right?
(23:02):
What is next?
Speaker 7 (23:03):
Dave Kanalen said on Tuesday, Andy's our quarterback. He gives
us our best chance to win. Ben, what do you
think the Panthers ceiling is wins y is now with
Dalton under center?
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Well, then, instead of being one of the bottom three
teams with assuming Dalton. I feel luckily get hurt the
next couple of weeks. But as long as he's playing,
they have a chance to compete, and so I could
be like a seven. The division is not very good.
They win seven or seven games or so and at
least have a decent season, which is better than what
they've had in recent years.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
How did we go? He passes? That is a winner.

Speaker 7 (24:46):
All right, so for this question, I feel like I'm
gonna think of something that's a better answer later on.
I'm gonna be mad at myself for all right, current answer.
But emme, it's the blind Seahawks man blind Eddy.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
The guy's blind. I've seen him blind.
Speaker 7 (24:59):
He would like to know what's your favorite restaurant signature sauce.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Let's see here, signature sauce at a restaurant.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
You know what?
Speaker 3 (25:11):
I like that it's not at a restaurant, but that
Ken's honey mustard. Is that what? It is?
Speaker 5 (25:17):
Pretty good?
Speaker 3 (25:18):
Sweet baby raised barbecue sauce. Those are those are not what?
Those are sauces?
Speaker 7 (25:22):
Those are not signature sauces at a restaurant.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Well, they sell them at restaurants sometimes they have at restaurants.
Speaker 7 (25:27):
You can get it at restaurant that well, that that
wouldn't be their signature sauce. That would be a brand.
But I know your answer, band, I'm surprised you. You
probably just will raising Chane sauce.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
It's good. I like raising I don't know if it's
like the greatest thing that in the entire world. Well
what about you, Eddie?
Speaker 5 (25:44):
Yeah, I'll go with that as well.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
That means that he had no answer and he just
copied what about you? Larina.
Speaker 8 (25:51):
I think it's probably because I was born and raised
at a Red Robin, but I really like their campfire
sauce and their honey poppy. Their honey poppy is my
favorite honey mustard of any honey mustard.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Oh yeah, it's the honey mustard with the black spots poppy.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Yet I always wonder what that was.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
I thought it was like rotting or something, little black
spots and the honey mustard.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
What happened to it? Who?
Speaker 7 (26:15):
So, I don't know if this is technically a sauce.
But there's a place out here or there's they have
so many locations called Zanku Chicken.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
I think that's just in l a place though. I
don't think he's national.
Speaker 7 (26:28):
No, No, it's not national, it's you know, southern California.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Fun fact, there's two different versions of that restaurant.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
Yes.
Speaker 7 (26:36):
The family murder, Yeah, yeah, it's it's a crazy story.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
It was a.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Murder, Yeah, it was a murder.
Speaker 7 (26:42):
Big, big tricken tricky, the guy who founded the restaurant,
his like wife, his owns. One part is at well,
you know, his widow. Yeah, and then the kids on
the other half.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Big chicken brew ha ha yeah.
Speaker 7 (26:55):
One of the brothers like murdered the other. But it
was it's crazy. But they have this. They have this
garlic paste. It's more of a paste than a sauce.
And it's so good, so good, outstanding. All right, moving on,
let's ask bed your questions are answered. Cowboy Killer would
like to know, my cowboy, do you fold your clothes
(27:18):
right after you wash or do you leave it for later?
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Well, I'm not the laundry guy at the house, but
when I do do the laundry, they usually sit around
for maybe a week or something, and then you fold
them after that.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Sometimes they never even get folded. What about you, Eddie.
Speaker 9 (27:33):
My wife will take out my clothes and the dryer
and she'll throw them on the couch and then I
have to will hold them immediately because I don't. The
dogs will jump on there because they're nice and toasty
and go to sleep.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
And lay and you'll have dog all over your.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
They smell fine.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Do they shed to your dog. No, they don't really.
Speaker 8 (27:53):
All right, well, rain, no, I kind of don't.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
You don't do laundry, you just wear dirty clothes.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
I do.
Speaker 8 (28:04):
I do every day. Sometimes they wait for a day
or two. And I never match my socks. I have
a bag of socks that just.
Speaker 5 (28:11):
Sits in the corner of my room.
Speaker 8 (28:12):
Yeah, because you waste like eight years of your life
matching socks.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
I think I read that somewhere.
Speaker 8 (28:17):
Really, Yeah, but I do like to fold my other
stuff that can rink wrinkle easily.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Okay.
Speaker 8 (28:22):
I don't have dogs or cats to get hair on
anything like you guys.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Yeah, all right, fair enough our coop.
Speaker 7 (28:28):
So my clothes will sit in the dryer and just
every day I will go in there and grab whatever
I'm gonna wear, and until until my wife needs to
use the dryer for her clothes. Then they get all
dumped in a hamper, and then I will grab from
the hamper until they are all gone.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
So you don't even have like a place to put
your clothes.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
I do.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
I just they just never get there. Okay, all right,
got you?
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Yeah, I mean they usually like once every two weeks
everything gets put away, but other than that, not so much.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
All right, what is next? What do we have here?
Speaker 7 (29:05):
The King? Rory would like to Rory, would you park
in a handicap spot just to run a quick.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Errand no no, my mom used handicap parking and that
she used to go. So it's so upset when we
drive up to a place and it be somebody in
like a BMW that was you know, in his early
thirties and in the parking in the handicap place.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
So no, I don't. I don't do that. I mean,
plus I get more steps if I park further away.
What about you, Eddie?
Speaker 9 (29:33):
Probably not, maybe in rare circumstances, if it was. Sometimes
I'll go to the grocery store, like right after I
get off work because there's nobody there if I have
to pick up like two or three.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Yeah, I like doing that too.
Speaker 9 (29:42):
And there's like there's literally the parking lots empty, and
so you know, there's.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Listen to somebody they're not gonna name is, but there's
somebody that may or may not be on our morning
show that occasionally parks in the handicap space here.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Yeah. Really yeah, but Rain, No, I don't do that bad,
No not you.
Speaker 8 (29:58):
Oh no, I've never done that I don't think I
ever will.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
All right, I don't want to get arrested. I don't think.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
You never know. It was a little arrested for stealing
her cars, Eddie. They were in LA. They had Andrew
Bynum got dangs for that.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
He was a lafer center and Cade McNown You see
a quarterback cool?
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Uh No, I do not do that.
Speaker 7 (30:24):
But at my grocery store there is these two spots
that say for coffee customers only. I park in those
all the time.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Yeah, but I've know it's also I hate this.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Since COVID they have pickup spots like one, two, three,
four or five.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
I'll parking those all the time. Screw those people.
Speaker 8 (30:40):
It's the family parking that bugs me. Ben yea where
it says moms and babies can work here?
Speaker 3 (30:45):
What is that trucrew?
Speaker 5 (30:47):
Those babies?
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Who cares about the baby? No children? No children.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Park the world.
Speaker 9 (30:58):
He is.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Puck all of it. Oh, it's pucked the world with
petty guardcy on.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
We'll see you can plain daddy and there you go.
Speaker 5 (31:08):
How about that? Exciting?
Speaker 3 (31:11):
Very exclay, play it again, played again, played again.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Please just fuck this, fuck all of it. It's pucked
the world with Petty Garcia.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Now I would have touched it up and said, and
puck you is what I would have said at the
end of that.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
But anyway, go ahead.
Speaker 9 (31:28):
Well, you know, let's not be too picky with back.
Lucky we got back and the old is it.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
When I started in LA radio, there was a show
called The Big Puckin' Hockey Show.
Speaker 9 (31:36):
All right, yeah, never heard of it. We are eight
days away from the start of the NHL season. First
game of the year will be overseas in Prague October
the fourth Devils versus Sabers. I'm sure Andy the comic
book guy will be telling us how the Sabers are
going to win the Stanley Cup after that game. First
North American regular season games will be on October the eighth. Now,
contract extension talks are ongoing between the New York Rangers
(31:57):
and star goalie Igorsh is stirking, but apparently things aren't
not close to a resolution.
Speaker 4 (32:01):
Now.
Speaker 9 (32:02):
He's considered the top goalie in the league entering the
final year of his contract, could be an unrestricted free
agent at the end of the season, looking to be
the highest paid goalie in NHL history. He wants twelve
million per season. Rangers reportedly said, well, they're looking to
they'll let him be the highest paid goalie, which right
now would be ten point five million, but apparently they
don't want to get that twelve million salary that he wants,
so right now again they're figuring it out. She's just
(32:24):
stric and former Vesna Trophy winners, the top goalie and
former finalists for.
Speaker 5 (32:28):
The MVP of the Heart Trophy as well.
Speaker 9 (32:30):
Meanwhile, Boston Bruins are a week in a training camp
and they're still without their holdout goalie Jeremy Swayman. Two
sides negotiating a new deal. Swayman a restricted free agent.
What's ten million per season? The Bruins are reportedly offering
eight million per season. More goalie talk. Vegas Golden Knights
that miner Robin Leonard no show for a medical checkup
as he remains on long term injured reserve. Now because
(32:51):
of that, he doesn't count against the salary cap and
he receives four point four million dollars to not play.
Speaker 5 (32:56):
Pretty good deal. Now, why he didn't report is unknown.
Speaker 9 (32:59):
I can be or if I was gonna get paid
four point four million just to do a physical, I
would be right there as soon as the door open.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
You know what that reminds me of Lamar Jackson. Didn't
he do the same thing.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
He missed workouts and he was going to get a
check for like four hundred thousand dollars just by showing
up to a certain amount of practices.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
He never did with the Ravens.
Speaker 9 (33:13):
True, but this is four point four million, and this
is just for a physical, and that's all he has
to do.
Speaker 5 (33:18):
He doesn't to do anything else.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
Maybe he wouldn't pass the physical.
Speaker 5 (33:21):
How about that they don't want him to pass the physical.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (33:25):
I don't get it either.
Speaker 9 (33:25):
But he had hip surgery in August of twenty twenty
two has not played since. Vancouver Canucks goalie Thatcher Demco
is limited on ice activity. Suffered a setback in the
offseason after had a lower body injury in the playoffs
last year. Says he's confident he'll get back to full
health at some point this season, but no timeline for
his return, and it looks certain he will not be
ready for the start of the regular season. La King's
(33:46):
veteran devincement drew down. He suffered an ugly ankle injury
or a foot injury last night in the preseason game
against Vegas, went awkwardly into the boards.
Speaker 5 (33:52):
No word on the severity, but it did not look good.
Speaker 9 (33:55):
After thirty seven seasons, Yard Marry Yager's storied career at
professional hockey maybe coming to a close.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
Fifty two years old, he's so old. I covered him.
Speaker 9 (34:05):
He says he intends to retire at the end of
the season, and it is it is.
Speaker 5 (34:12):
He seems like he's kind of leaving the door a
little bit open. He's playing over in the Czech League.
Speaker 9 (34:15):
He actually owns the team in klondo is hometown, but
he says, I.
Speaker 5 (34:21):
Have not ever been to the beautiful Czech Republic. I'm
sure it's lovely.
Speaker 9 (34:25):
Ottawa Senators have an agreement to build a new downtown
arena in the Canadian capitol.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
You're going to try to win again.
Speaker 5 (34:31):
I don't know.
Speaker 9 (34:32):
About that, but they've been looking for a new home
in the uh kind of your downtown for a while.
They've been on the outskirts there since nineteen eighty six.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Ford or the taxpayers of Ottawa, Oh I'm sure they're
not paying for it.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
Of course.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
Well, Steve Balmer built his own arena, you rip it,
but with his own money.
Speaker 5 (34:51):
Good for him.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (34:52):
Carolina Hurricanes beat the Tampa Bay Lightning two under a
preseason game last night. It featured Carolina prospects Skyler Brinda
Moore playing his.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
First SWaCH Jack Rodd, Brinda Moore's kid.
Speaker 9 (35:01):
That is, in fact, the head coach of the Hurricanes
son Rod Brenda Moore. I not have hockey knowledge, Eddy,
I have Rod's good good player. Rodmore knowledge on your
parting good player. And finally, a guy gadro the father
of Johnny and Matthew Gudau, who were tragedally killed and
by a drunk driver, was invited to Philadelphia Flyers practice
by head coach John Tortorella. Guy Gudreau was a former
(35:23):
high school hockey coach. He coached both of his sons
at Gloucester Catholic High School near Philadelphia, and Tortorella said
he has an open invite.
Speaker 5 (35:31):
To come out and hang out with the team anytime
he wants. So A nice gesture there by, your guys.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Torts is not a complete a hole. He's got a
soft side.
Speaker 9 (35:38):
That's absolutely true. It's absolutely true, and that is your puck.
