Speaker 1 (00:00):

(00:23):
This is the best of the Ben Mallers Show on
Fox Sports Radio. So yesterday, on a previous edition of
The Ben Maller Show, I gave you the pick. I
told you the Cowers, and I'm not here to pat
myself in the back, but I got several emails from people.
You're a moron. That's why you're on overnights. Who gives
(00:45):
out a pick to take the Cowboys? What are you
a moron? Yes, yes, I'm a moron. You know he's
a bigger moron the Saints Losers say it with me now, overaded, overaded? Yeah? Hey,
(01:13):
those in first place in the entire National Football League,
the top record in the NFL. Who would that be?
Hmm let me let me think about that. Oh, that's right,
that's right. The Rams interesting? Interesting how that works? Well,
the Thursday night game, it was on Fox. You better
watch did you check it out? I assume if you're
(01:33):
listening to a sports talk radio show, you have some
level of interest, you have some level of passion in
the NFL, and so you probably watched it. But maybe
you missed some of the game and you have a life,
and God forbid, shame on you for having a life
and having to do things other than watch football. But
the story of the night in sports all about the
(01:54):
vomiting that took place for the New Orleans States. Now
that Dallas Cowboys played a fine defensive game and they
get one of the big upsets. Was the biggest upset
this year, and it's the biggest upset in a while
in the NFL. Considering the mythical way that the media
had embraced the New Orleans Saints, Drew Brees went out
(02:15):
and looked like a guy that isn't going to the
Super Bowl. He's got that in him, He's got that
in him. I hope he enjoyed being the front runner
for the Most Valuable Player award. He is no longer
say it with me, no longer the front runner for
the MVP. But Dak Prescot. I don't eve want to
give Dak Prescott crescy. The way we do this, we
all went to the same clown college in sportscasting, and
(02:38):
you're supposed to praise an offensive guy and say so
and so led the team that wins to the victory.
And so we usually just go offense, because who the
hell likes defense? But I can't sit here with a
straight face and say it was you, Dak Prescott led
the Dallas Cowboys to the victory. No, if you want
to give credit, give credit where it belongs. Eli Apple.
(03:00):
In the first half sucked right terrible. There were there
were points left on the field that the Saints offense blew.
But the Cowboys defense was was wonderful. It was a
flawless performance by the Cowboys defense, shutting out the Saints
in the first half and making some big stops late
(03:22):
in the game. And they had no other option. They
had no other options. So the Cowboys get to win
thirteen to ten. If you're saying, well, what about the playoffs, playoffs,
we will we will address that because if there's anything
we love here, it is playing the speculation game. We
(03:44):
absolutely love it. We do. And so the speculation game.
Now the Rams move into the number one slot. They
are the only one loss team. Let me repeat that,
the only one loss team in the NFC. The Saints
slide down to the number two spot. Now they're pretty
comfy at number two, but not that comfy because the
(04:05):
Chicago Bears, who to me are not as good as
their record would indicate. The Bears are eight in three,
and because they have sucked for a while in Chicago
and mainly last year, the Bears have a very very
comfortable schedule in the Saints. Listen, this team is probably
(04:25):
gonna lose again. They played Carolina twice, certainly plausible. The Saints,
They're gonna lose again. There's a there's a good chance
the Saints have to play on wild Card weekend. Think
about that, the New Orleans Saints. All this build up
and the magical storytelling about the Saints. Listen, that's the thing.
(04:52):
They're looking like. They have a very good possibility that
you know, the Bears have. They still have to play
the Rams, which is problematic for Chicago, and that game
isn't in Soldier Field in Chicago. But they the Rams.
You we'll see, I mean, the Rams could always go
out and vomit themselves. But at this moment to doing
the show in the moment, We're not doing the show
in the future. We're doing it right now. At this moment,
(05:15):
I would say it's likely the Saints lose again. I
would pick the Rams to beat the Bears. The Rams
will be favored in that game when they play a
few weeks down the line. But you know, Saints, that's
a man. Suddenly life comes at you fast, as they say, so, uh,
you know, everyone can have a bad day. I know
that they had some bad gumbo before the game. I
(05:36):
get that. And so even though I picked the Saints
to not cover the spread I didn't think they would
actually win the game outright. Didn't expect that to happen.
I thought, we'll getting the Cowboys, who were a little
above average, plus a touchdown. I got into the touchdown
on an extra half a point. I'd be like, yeah,
But the better story here is in the losing locker room,
(05:58):
as it often is, that's where the drama is. That's
where the real, you know, soap opera resides. So let's
discuss now the question, and this has to be decided.
Is this merely a hiccup and inevitable or is this
(06:19):
something more than that? Do the Saints actually have a
problem and we'll kick that around now. I would vote
for the fact that there's an issue here. I believe
Saints have an issue, and we'll get into it here.
But my thoughts, you've got myth busting the cheat code
and the fiasco. It's a fun word. Fiasco a good word.
(06:44):
It's a solid word, all right. So anyway, not first
of all, the Saints, I cannot stress this enough, coming
in here and doing this job every day, and we
chronicle the NFL because that's trying to get ratings. We're
not gonna sit here and break down the Portland Timbers.
We're not doing it. Sorry, but but anyway, and then
(07:04):
the Saints that this is aura that has been built
around them of the word is invincibility, that Drew Brees
is unshakable. The Saints offense has been a blowtorch, has it? Yes? Absolutely?
The numbers are ridiculous. Everyone else while the Saints have
a blowtorch. Drew Brees is standing back in the pocket
(07:26):
with a blowtorch. Everyone else has a wet box of matches.
And that's the competition, all right, that's the story. That's
the narrative the mainstream football media has fed us for
several weeks about the Saints. So all of that went
out the window Thursday night in Arlington. What this game
(07:47):
was was myth busting is what it was. Is absolutely
myth busting for the Saints because are they human? Yes,
they played lousy from the very beginning of that game.
The Cowboys had much more energy, They had much more enthusiasm,
pep in their step. Dallas beat New Orleans playing one
(08:10):
half of offense. Think about that. They didn't play a
full game of offense. They played one half. It was
thirteen nothing at halftime. The Saints were shut out for
thirty the first thirty minutes, had fifty nine yards. Fifty
nine yards and I believe three first downs in the
first half. And the Cowboys then proceeded to turtle up
(08:35):
and you know, in the second half they played not
two loose right, should not have worked it did. Could
have a much different conversation here because the Cowboys did
everything they could. They had the three stooges out there
that we're trying to give the game away. The Cowboys
had a grand total of ninety yards in the second
half of offense, and most of those came in the
(08:57):
fourth quarter. Most of the night. I think they like
twenty eight yards in the third quarter. Seven penalties. Randy
Gregory wearing a Dunce cap somewhere in the Arlington, Texas
area with a couple of egregious penalties running into the
punter was insane. Insanity. Lelle Collins, the offensive lineman, he
(09:17):
missed a block, got a penalty while getting you run over.
He got a penalty and that. And then Dak Prescott
who had two fumbles. All three of them, the three
stooges all took turn screwing up. There's other people too, right,
you can. I get a shout out to Amari Cooper
who showed Jerry Jones why he was available. All those Yeah,
(09:40):
all those turnovers. But even with all that wrongdoing, the
Cowboys still won. The Saints lost. Now, secondly, this is
extra emasculating for New Orleans because this vaunted offense was
stopped in its tracks late in the game. So one thing.
They struggled early, but then they found themselves. We've got
(10:01):
to face the facts here that the Cowboys are a
good They're not a great defense. They played great. They
this was a game for the ages, right, this is
a game or wake up the Echoes and all that.
But Dallas coming into this game was seventh overall in
total defense they allowed. On the year, they've been averaging
allowing three hundred thirty one yards per game. The last
(10:21):
three weeks. The Cowboys defensively were twentieth in the NFL.
So who could have seen that coming? They were twentieth.
They were giving up three hundred and sixty eight yards
per game. Now that's not Rams Chiefs bad, but that's
not great. That's not great. And these guys collectively had
the game of their lives. And there's no question, there's
no debate about that. The Saints had one hundred and
(10:43):
seventy six yards. They were lethargic. Ninety percent of this game.
New Orleans was twenty five yards of offense in the
fourth quarter, A team with Alvin Kamara and the great
Michael Thomas and his family shout out holiday and rue
Brees and all that. And Dallas. What they did here,
(11:04):
I can't stress this enough. With the Cowboys have done
is they have shown the rest of the NFL the
cheat code on how to mess up the bio rhythms.
Of the New Orleans Saints played ferocious defense, chaos wrecking
for the Saints and against the Saints, and how many
(11:25):
teams So here's the problem though, like how many teams
can mimic this and play with that sustained rage? Probably
not that many. The good news though, if you look
around and you say this is the cheat code beat
the Saints, you say, well, okay, most of the other
teams aren't gonna turtle up on offense, so they don't
have to be flaw this, and I have to be
(11:47):
flaw this on defense because the offense will do a
little something in the second half. We always hear the
cliche it's a copycat league all that crap. So we'll
find out find out going forward who ends up copying that. Now. Finally,
this game also a reminder that the Saints cannot totally
(12:08):
be all in on Drew Brees. They know they have
no options really realistically other than that. But the idea
that Drew Brees is gonna be mister reliable and yeah,
he's just gonna go out there and every single game
he is gonna get her done, no problem, no concern
in the world is also not real world. Now he
(12:30):
sucked in this game, and you say, well, he was
due for that, he'd been playing relatively well. It was
the kind of performance that reminds you of some horrifically
mediocre to terrible names of NFL pass guys like Mark Boulger,
Stan Humphries, Jay Cutler, Steve Bartkowski, Aaron Brooks, guys like that.
(12:53):
Because I looked it up, that's the stat line that
those guys have had. Drew Brees had one hundred and
twenty seven yards, one touchdown winners, a passer rating of
seventy one point six. That's the kind of game that
those guys had. The last quarterback to have exactly that
stat line was Jeff Blake, the immortal Jeff Blake. He
(13:13):
was with the Ravens at the time. Who well, Jeff Blake.
I remember him from the Bengals, but he last, yeah,
before your time, but in twenty o two. And that's
from Pro Football Reference. But the bad news here now,
Drew Brees is a thirty nine year old quarterback and
you said, well, he's gonna have a few stink bomps.
He's had the last six weeks, Drew Brees has had
(13:36):
two of these. Two of these, right, remember what happened
weeks seven. Now the perfect body spray the fact that
these Saints managed to beat Minnesota. That was a Sunday
night game and Drew Brees had one hundred and twenty
yards in that game. I believe, I think it was
one hundred and twenty in that game. And in this
game he has one hundred and twenty seven. And so hey,
(13:58):
you know, good luck. I hope he enjoyed being in
the poll position for the MVP because now my guy,
mister ketchup loving well done steak eating Patrick Mahomes Grover
is now the front runner for the Most Valuable Player
and another reason that the sin should be very concerned.
Now I did the math. Now that's two out of
(14:19):
the last six games that Drew Brees has had a
gay game that really is forgettable, a fiasco that's thirty
three point three percent of the time. You're gonna get
this Drew Brees in the last sixty Good luck on that.
And again, you can ram it all day, you can
ram it all night. There's gonna be a pit of
(14:45):
sharks at the LA Memorial Coliseum. Yeah, you laugh all
you want, I don't care. Let's hear a little bit
from the from the CoCom. We won't hear much from
lockhom Let's hear. Let's hear how the Saints. I want
to hear what they have to say. Here. Let's hear
from Sean Peyton the Saints. Is he on the hot
(15:09):
seat now, Sean Payton? After this game? Is Sean Payton?
Is he in trouble? Is Sean Payton about to Could
he be fired for this game? We'll hear from him
in a minute. Let's hear from Drew Brees first though. Uh,
and Drew Brees. Let's see here he's talking about potatoes.
What kind of potatoes is mojo potatoes? Is that what
(15:30):
he's talking about here? Yeah? You know, here we are
at ten and two. Obviously we had we'd won ten
in a row, which felt like we had. Man, we
were rolling, you know, and not anymore. So now it's
now it's time to get that mojo back and get
back to work. When we get back and get ready
to roll, Yeah, you're gonna go on Amazon by some
Mojoe potatoes. Yeah, yeah, you can do that all right. Uh.
(15:54):
Here's more from from Drew Brees, who talked about the
Cowboy Ways and what they were doing defensively. Well, I
mean every holding call that they threw was was on Mike. Yeah,
they were, they were holding them every chance they got.
But oh my god, they were cheating and they got
they've got some they got some good dbs on that
(16:14):
side of the ball, and so we got those guys
played a good game. I believe we just called them
a cheater. So they were holding cheating? What's up with that?
All right? I don't do we need to I don't
know if we need to hear from anybody? Do we
need to hear I don't know. Do we need to
hear from anybody else? What do you think should we hear?
Do I want to hear what Sean Payton had to say?
(16:36):
I don't know. No, No, we don't know who cares.
He's just gonna give us nothing anymore. I don't want
to hear putting my foot down. I do not want
to hear no interest in Sean Strew You, Sean Payton,
You're a loser. I don't want to hear you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, No,
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know if
(16:56):
I wanted, Maybe we'll hear it later. Why don't we
save it that maybe if I feel like it will
play la how about the So this is a Ben
Mallers show like no other show. I have been doing
radio at Fox Sports Radio for a very long time,
since I was before I went through puberty. I was
working here at Fox Sports Radio. And this is the
first time I can ever remember when my entire staff
(17:19):
decided to bail on me, all my regulars. It is
the orphan edition of the show. The orphan edition, all
the all the Bennett's quit, every one of the Bennett's quit.
And we've got Ralph Rex Sports Radio. He's here. We've
got Vince who I've never worked with. I've seen him
(17:42):
for several years in the hallways. He rarely talks to me,
but he's here. He seems like a nice guy. We're
around the same age. I think we'll vibe. And then
here's how far onto the bench they had to go
management at this company. They it was like that scene
in Major League They were calling, Hey, you want to
play for the Indians. Yeah. They they went and they
(18:04):
took the morning show producer, the guy that makes Clay
Travis sound good, and they said we need him because
even Roberto quit on the show. Danny ge making a
rare cameo appearance back on the radio, the microphone throttling
(18:26):
there he is, Yeah, our friend, Danny g it's just
like it doesn't change because he's got laker garon. Roberto
has laker garon every day. I'm fighting the good fight
against you guys every single day. Dad. You know the
big difference, Ben, I don't have a sick child at home. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
power through. That's why they I told Roberto, I try
(18:46):
to explain to rock garlic. I said, listen, you took
to take the piece of rock garlic. He told him
to stick the raw garlic into his daughter's mouth. Yes,
teach him young, Yes, absolutely, that's that's the original medicine
back before there was this this whole rob Yeah, exactly.
All your needs garlic. You don't need this other stuff
in the old world. That's how they did it, you know,
(19:07):
in the old world. All right, Well, we'll take some
phone calls you. I think you know what we're talking about.
I think you do. Eight seven seven nineteen. Oh, I'm

(19:52):
that's what the cowboys are doing right now. We'll get
to that. And also, I guess we can call this

The Saints favored by a touchdown on the road. The Juggernaut,
the invincible, bulletproof, unbeatable Saints ever since that hiccup in
(20:38):
Week one, ten straight wins. They pooped the bed is
what they did. A horrifically bad offensive performance. Cowboys get
a thirteen ten win. They only played half half a
game of offense. That's it. They didn't show up in
the second half the Cowboys on offense. The defense, though,
was perfect, a flawless performance by the Cowboys defense. They
held the Saints to ten points, first time that's happened
(21:01):
ten points or less since twenty fifteen. The Saints didn't score,
as I mentioned in the first half, that hadn't happened
since twenty fourteen, held under two hundred yards of total
offense that hadn't happened since twenty thirteen, and one hundred
and eighty yards of offense underneath that first time since
twenty two, twenty two. My voice hadn't even changed yet
(21:25):
in twenty I was here at Fox Sports Radier. My
voice hadn't changed. He did not back in the day.
But anyway, so all those things and the Cowboys, as
they are known to. Let gonna get more of this later.
But the Cowboys going on and on and on about
how great they are. Who does it better than Jerry Jones. Nobody.
Jerry Jones saying to the assembled masses of the media
(21:45):
in Jerry's world that the Cowboys are quote, different cats
after they beat the Saints. So I think they're not cats.
Does he realize he's not owning the Lions or the Panthers?
Are those are the cats? That's number one? But Jones
was very braggadocious, and as you should be, right, you
(22:06):
win a game like that, you get to bragging, and
that's how it works. But Jerry was going over the
top and he went through and just was very celebratory
as you would expect. Says, you win something like this
against the team that well coached, those kind of players,
a caliber of team like that, Jones said, and you
know you've done it. The mirror knows you've done it.
(22:28):
You change. This is a game changer. These guys, they're
different cats. Yeah, Well, as long as Jerry doesn't want
to circumcise and mosquitos, I think we're good. I think
we're good on that. Yeah, it's all right, so those
are Jerry's comments. Now the question, and we'll get more
of this later, but does this really change anything for
(22:51):
the Dallas Cowboys. Now I'll expand on this more later,
but my position is no. The reason it doesn't change
anything we have seen team score big wins for their
franchises and then pull a Harry Houdini, a vanishing act, abracadabra,
(23:11):
hocus pocus, presto, see you later. I'll give you two examples.
Jacksonville after their AFC Championship game last year, they had
the lead at halftime, they blew it. The Patriots and
Jags played back in week two, September sixteenth. Jacksonville won
that game and then gave a lecture to the media
for not covering them. Since that game back on September sixteenth,
(23:37):
Jacksonville has won one game. One game. That's it. They've
got seven losses in a row. They've lost eight of nine.
But for at the moment, that was a big deal.
As a franchise turning win. Jacksonville's turned the corner. They
could host the AFC Championship game. Now they could host
the number two pick or the number three pick in
(23:59):
the NFL Draft. And then the other example of a
fraudulent big win. Can I get the flame heads from Nashville,
the Tennessee Titans, who had back to back wins on
a Monday night against the Cowboys and then beat the Patriots,
and oh my god, they did. They'd take the Patriots
to the woodshed. And after that game, the media was
(24:22):
just tickling Marcus Mariota and saying how great the Titans were.
This is a playoff team and since that game lost
to the Colts, lost to the Texans, They're not going
to the playoffs. So it really when I'm getting at
here for the Cowboys and the Cup of Obvious, you
know where I'm going with this is it matters what
happens now, all right, Because the Cowboys they've won four
(24:46):
in a row, and that's all great, right, wonderful, and
a couple of close wins that have gone their way.
But I wouldn't be surprised if the Cowboys at home
lose to the Philadelphia Eagles next week. I wouldn't be
surprised if they lose to the Colts a week after.
So for Jerry Jones, I understand it, I get it.
I'm not this is not my first trip to the carnival.
(25:07):
I've been to the carnival before. I know where all
the good food is at the carnival. So I understand
what Jerry Jones is doing right different cats. He's in
the marketing business. I understand it. But my position is
one of okay, let's if you follow us up with
a couple more wins, then I'm like, okay now, and
now we've got something. But we'll get more into it later. Now. Meanwhile,
the other story I wanted to get to it. I'm
so glad as an orphan. My team has left me.
(25:29):
It's conspiring against me. But the story involving Lebron, well,
it's a Magic Johnson story. I saw a Magic's quote
and that got my attention. Now, we didn't touch this
the other day, but the story that was reported in
a published report said Lebron James is ignoring Luke Walton's
coaching and the plays that are called. Report quoted an
(25:52):
unnamed NBA scout that claimed, scouting Laker games, Lebron is
going rogue. He's essentially doing whatever he wants. Now, Magic
Johnson was asked about this, Now, do you think that
Magic A confirmed it? B denied it. Or see no comment.
Of course, Magic chose number B or number B letter B.
(26:15):
Magic publicly disputed the legitimacy of the story, calling it
essentially we've heard this before fake news. He failed Late
Night Talks to your host. Magic Johnson said, the Lakers
system moves the ball around with pick and roll play,
so Lebron doesn't have his hands on the ball all
the time. Anyway, I wanted to talk about this now.
(26:36):
We have an old fashioned I love this in talk radio,
he said. He said, situation, which is second only to a.
He said, She said situation. We have a he said,
He said, situation. Toss up question. You're gonna take Magic
Johnson denying this story, or the anonymous NBA scout who's
right on Lebron James. I'm with the scout. I am
(27:01):
going with the scout. That is what I'm gonna do.
Now my viewpoint, You've got the Bunker mentality, the sock puppet,
and Evergreen, and we will bind all this together. Now,
first of all, Magic Johnson is the word is compromised
on this. He's got a vested interest in downplaying this story.
(27:22):
These kind of things happen a lot, and you know,
you look at it one hundred percent of the time,
and executive's gonna downplay it ninety nine percent of the time.
These types of stories are later proven correct. Somebody writes
a book, somebody tells stories out of school. Magic is
going with that bunker mentality. It's all Lakers have to
(27:43):
bunker down. And for two reasons, a Lebron James doing
whatever he wants with the Lakers makes Magic Johnson and
Luke Walton look like a clown show the Lakers organization,
and be Lebron James is touch about this. He likes
to control everything. He wants final say on all moves,
(28:07):
but does not want the people to know about it,
or at least wants to deny it. Doesn't want to
be called out for it. It gives him plausible deniability. Now,
what's my proof based on both anecdotal and direct evidence.
The anecdotal evidence is this anonymous NBA scout. The direct
evidence would be my eyeballs. That would be my eyeballs.
(28:32):
That that's the direct evidence. And secondly, Luke Walton, I
think we can all agree on this is on borrowed time. Eventually,
this disheveled Laker team that just that I won't beat
Indiana because Indiana was one of those those Hickory High
School uniforms. They should lose every game with those Hickory
High School uniforms that they wear occasionally. But anyway, so
(28:55):
the Lakers had lost back to back. They got blown
off the court by the Nuggets, they lost to the
Orlando Magic, got swept by the Magic. So eventually, what
happens if you look at Lebron James playbook on page
one thirty four of Lebron James Playbook, blame the coach
Luke Walton. At some point here is going to get
a seat at the table with Mike Brown, David Blatt,
(29:19):
Brendan Malone and Paul Silas, all those guys that can
have a nice dinner and tell old stories. They were
all neutered by King James at one point or another.
The only Tylu and Eric Spoelstra survived. The only reason
Spolster survived is because Lebron left. Tylu survived and then
quickly got jettisoned this season because he's like, I don't
(29:40):
want to coach. I mean gonna come on, I'm Lebron's guy.
So Lebron got, you know, Leron went to La and
Luke got whacked, and Luke Walton's like a sock puppet.
Lebron has the leeway to do whatever he wants, completely unrestricted.
The Lakers were so desperate, so desperate, so helpless, they
sold their soul and the form. Whatever Lebron wants. Le
(30:04):
Bron wants to change the colors and have an alternative uniform,
forget purple and gold, will go with he likes the
Raiders so silver and black, or it likes the Cowboys
blue and silver. Whatever, and Genie buss it would sign
off on us. That's a good idea cross marketing. Final word. Now,
being a distant relative of the great Nose to a damas,
I would like to predict some other stories to come
(30:27):
out of Lakerland. Now. These are what I call ever
green stories. Now, if you're not in broadcasting, I think
most people know this, but maybe not. Evergreen is a
timeless show. People that do podcasts usually try to do
a timeless show because if you date it, if it's
if it has an expiration date, you know, if you
if you go back and hear this show, it's you're
(30:48):
going to know, well, it's you know, stuff's happened since
here It's one of the blessings and the curses of
what we do is it is a disposable form of entertainment.
It doesn't have a long shelf life most of the
things we talk about because it's ever changing. It's fun,
it's cool. I like it because every day's a new
a new battle to fight. But there's not a lot
of stuff that has a long lifespan because it's always
(31:10):
changing and so evergreen. That's what I'm talking about. So
these are some stories that are evergreen that usually happen
around Lebron James. Tell me if I'm wrong, Lebron James.
Here's you see this on the internet. Lebron James growing
frustrated with his young teammates. I think you'll see that
at some point, unnamed source says, I think so. How
(31:31):
about this one? Sources say Lebron has talked to Kevin
Durant about joining him in LA. Do you think you'll
see that? I think so. I didn't go to college. Sorry,
Laker executives annoyed Lebron spending too much time on side projects.
I think you might see that one. Yeah, how about
this one? King James is fed up. He's had enough
(31:54):
of Lukewald. I think we'll see that. I think so.
This is something Lebron's done many times. He didn't do
it last year, at least he didn't take time off.
But this is a standard Lebron move. This is on
page two sixteen of his playbook. You'll see this headline
from one of his one of his friends in the
media that report like Windhurst, who follows him around and
(32:15):
chronicles he's everything he does. Lebron is physically and mentally
exhausted from having to carry these young Laker players. So
you guys want me to turn my brain off because
I'm go have a huge basket by IQ not at all. Yeah,
we'll see all of those things, all of those Hi.
It is the Ben Mallers show. This is the orphan edition.
(32:35):
I am here for. You cannot say the same thing
for the rest of the staff. They don't like you,
they don't care about you, they hate you. Eddie Garcia
took a night off from work. He is not doing anything.
He has an early flight. You know what that is
bad scheduling. Cooper Loop went to a musical. He's not here. Yeah,
(33:00):
that is code. That is code. And then rue Bert
two uh said he didn't get enough sleep, so he
wanted to take a nap. The greatness of the Raiders,
so in their place we have well for Coop, it's
Vince Yeah. And then with Eddie away, they have given
(33:22):
us Ralph breaks sports radio, cruising down the street in
my six four and a rare cameo appearance. Let me
tell he was so excited to be here, was so
happy when a management called him up and said, I
would like to screw your schedule up and have you
come in and work on the Mallar Show again, And
he said, yes, can I have a double dose Danny
(33:42):
g Radios the top year lung Scream where the white
women at area is our old friend Danny. Oh hanging.

number of beds still a few hours away, you know,
I mean, I gotta get, I gotta get. I'm almost
at the finish line, but I'm not quite at the
finish line. You got to I hit snooze snooze and
then your voice comes back on and you're still going
and at the end of your monologue, yeah, yeah, to
like twenty eight after. As you know, I am buy
the clock for the clock plausibly all about the clock wrong, Oh,
(34:31):
morning producer, Now there you I I know I've gotten
out of the gym occasionally and I get in the
car and the radio is on Fox Sports Radio, and
I've I've heard the Morning show occasionally come back at
the twenty eight passed or something twenty past. I've heard that.
I've heard that too. I've noted that. I've said. I'm
not the only one at all. It's Morning Drive. Consistency
(34:52):
consists between the two shows. Yep. Yeah, I learned how
to do that on this show and then I carried
it over to OutKick the coverage. Yeah yeah, I remember
at one point years ago, they gave us a hard
out all the breaks, and it was everyone was just
running into brick walls the entire time. It was just marvelous.
Is this great? And we have Vince's here now, I
(35:14):
don't know much about Vincy's from Washington. You've been here
a while, Vince. I've seen you for a while in
the Hallways, how long have you been at the company?
I started as an intern about three years ago, so
here here as an employee of almost two years. Okay,
that's cool. And were you in radio somewhere else or
you did you have like a regular job before this
or what? No. I I had a myriad of jobs
(35:36):
for a law office, I worked for sales, I worked
in as a waiter. I did just about everything. But
I kind of fell in love with it when I
moved into Los Angeles, went to school for it, and
now I'm here. I'm very excited to learn from the
greatest buttering Buttering my biscuits l it's been sharing his
notes with you. Yeah, yeah, right, yes, all right, that's cool.

you know the number, we'd love to talk to you.
And we got lame jokes. I really good lame jokes,
really good lamb jokes. Oh boy. Usually when you say
they're good, they're bad. And when you rant and complain
and say they're bad. They're good. So no, no, these
(36:22):

laughed at these. I did. I laughed it so well. Anyway,
well we'll get to that. We'll take your phone because
the lines are reopened. Some of these people have been
on hold the entire time. I guess they didn't want
to hang up. Hey, we're paying the bill. Who care
stay on hold them better companies paying, not my money.
I love this Dwight Howard story. I don't know how
(36:44):
to talk about it though, Like I don't know what
to say other than it's just the most amazing thing
that it could possibly be the Dwight Howards or if
you don't know, there was an internet story which a
person claiming to be a former love interest of Dwight Howard,
who lives a bit of an alternative lifestyle, shall we say,
(37:09):
went into great detail about Dwight's preferences in the bedroom,
which some would find to certainly in the Bible belt taboo.
Two guys is enough for me. So that story happened
over the week, and the mainstream media didn't really report
it because it was so wild. They just stayed away.
And now the story comes out a few days later
(37:32):
that Dwight Howard might need surgery for a lutole injury,
which I believe is the buttocks. He has a buttocks injury,
which is just wonderful. Say what he injured his buttocks?
Hey told Stool it's that not Sometimes in life, timing
(37:53):
is just perfect, It is just marvelous, And that would
be one of those times. That would absolutely be one
of those steps. I We'll take your calls and we'll

(00:23):
This is the best of the Ben Mallers Show on
Fox Sports Radio. So yesterday, on a previous edition of
The Ben Maller Show, I gave you the pick. I
told you the Cowers, and I'm not here to pat
myself in the back, but I got several emails from people.
You're a moron. That's why you're on overnights. Who gives
(00:45):
out a pick to take the Cowboys? What are you
a moron? Yes, yes, I'm a moron. You know he's
a bigger moron the Saints Losers say it with me now, overaded, overaded? Yeah? Hey,
(01:13):
those in first place in the entire National Football League,
the top record in the NFL. Who would that be?
Hmm let me let me think about that. Oh, that's right,
that's right. The Rams interesting? Interesting how that works? Well,
the Thursday night game, it was on Fox. You better
watch did you check it out? I assume if you're
(01:33):
listening to a sports talk radio show, you have some
level of interest, you have some level of passion in
the NFL, and so you probably watched it. But maybe
you missed some of the game and you have a life,
and God forbid, shame on you for having a life
and having to do things other than watch football. But
the story of the night in sports all about the
(01:54):
vomiting that took place for the New Orleans States. Now
that Dallas Cowboys played a fine defensive game and they
get one of the big upsets. Was the biggest upset
this year, and it's the biggest upset in a while
in the NFL. Considering the mythical way that the media
had embraced the New Orleans Saints, Drew Brees went out
(02:15):
and looked like a guy that isn't going to the
Super Bowl. He's got that in him, He's got that
in him. I hope he enjoyed being the front runner
for the Most Valuable Player award. He is no longer
say it with me, no longer the front runner for
the MVP. But Dak Prescot. I don't eve want to
give Dak Prescott crescy. The way we do this, we
all went to the same clown college in sportscasting, and
(02:38):
you're supposed to praise an offensive guy and say so
and so led the team that wins to the victory.
And so we usually just go offense, because who the
hell likes defense? But I can't sit here with a
straight face and say it was you, Dak Prescott led
the Dallas Cowboys to the victory. No, if you want
to give credit, give credit where it belongs. Eli Apple.
(03:00):
In the first half sucked right terrible. There were there
were points left on the field that the Saints offense blew.
But the Cowboys defense was was wonderful. It was a
flawless performance by the Cowboys defense, shutting out the Saints
in the first half and making some big stops late
(03:22):
in the game. And they had no other option. They
had no other options. So the Cowboys get to win
thirteen to ten. If you're saying, well, what about the playoffs, playoffs,
we will we will address that because if there's anything
we love here, it is playing the speculation game. We
(03:44):
absolutely love it. We do. And so the speculation game.
Now the Rams move into the number one slot. They
are the only one loss team. Let me repeat that,
the only one loss team in the NFC. The Saints
slide down to the number two spot. Now they're pretty
comfy at number two, but not that comfy because the
(04:05):
Chicago Bears, who to me are not as good as
their record would indicate. The Bears are eight in three,
and because they have sucked for a while in Chicago
and mainly last year, the Bears have a very very
comfortable schedule in the Saints. Listen, this team is probably
(04:25):
gonna lose again. They played Carolina twice, certainly plausible. The Saints,
They're gonna lose again. There's a there's a good chance
the Saints have to play on wild Card weekend. Think
about that, the New Orleans Saints. All this build up
and the magical storytelling about the Saints. Listen, that's the thing.
(04:52):
They're looking like. They have a very good possibility that
you know, the Bears have. They still have to play
the Rams, which is problematic for Chicago, and that game
isn't in Soldier Field in Chicago. But they the Rams.
You we'll see, I mean, the Rams could always go
out and vomit themselves. But at this moment to doing
the show in the moment, We're not doing the show
in the future. We're doing it right now. At this moment,
(05:15):
I would say it's likely the Saints lose again. I
would pick the Rams to beat the Bears. The Rams
will be favored in that game when they play a
few weeks down the line. But you know, Saints, that's
a man. Suddenly life comes at you fast, as they say, so, uh,
you know, everyone can have a bad day. I know
that they had some bad gumbo before the game. I
(05:36):
get that. And so even though I picked the Saints
to not cover the spread I didn't think they would
actually win the game outright. Didn't expect that to happen.
I thought, we'll getting the Cowboys, who were a little
above average, plus a touchdown. I got into the touchdown
on an extra half a point. I'd be like, yeah,
But the better story here is in the losing locker room,
(05:58):
as it often is, that's where the drama is. That's
where the real, you know, soap opera resides. So let's
discuss now the question, and this has to be decided.
Is this merely a hiccup and inevitable or is this
(06:19):
something more than that? Do the Saints actually have a
problem and we'll kick that around now. I would vote
for the fact that there's an issue here. I believe
Saints have an issue, and we'll get into it here.
But my thoughts, you've got myth busting the cheat code
and the fiasco. It's a fun word. Fiasco a good word.
(06:44):
It's a solid word, all right. So anyway, not first
of all, the Saints, I cannot stress this enough, coming
in here and doing this job every day, and we
chronicle the NFL because that's trying to get ratings. We're
not gonna sit here and break down the Portland Timbers.
We're not doing it. Sorry, but but anyway, and then
(07:04):
the Saints that this is aura that has been built
around them of the word is invincibility, that Drew Brees
is unshakable. The Saints offense has been a blowtorch, has it? Yes? Absolutely?
The numbers are ridiculous. Everyone else while the Saints have
a blowtorch. Drew Brees is standing back in the pocket
(07:26):
with a blowtorch. Everyone else has a wet box of matches.
And that's the competition, all right, that's the story. That's
the narrative the mainstream football media has fed us for
several weeks about the Saints. So all of that went
out the window Thursday night in Arlington. What this game
(07:47):
was was myth busting is what it was. Is absolutely
myth busting for the Saints because are they human? Yes,
they played lousy from the very beginning of that game.
The Cowboys had much more energy, They had much more enthusiasm,
pep in their step. Dallas beat New Orleans playing one
(08:10):
half of offense. Think about that. They didn't play a
full game of offense. They played one half. It was
thirteen nothing at halftime. The Saints were shut out for
thirty the first thirty minutes, had fifty nine yards. Fifty
nine yards and I believe three first downs in the
first half. And the Cowboys then proceeded to turtle up
(08:35):
and you know, in the second half they played not
two loose right, should not have worked it did. Could
have a much different conversation here because the Cowboys did
everything they could. They had the three stooges out there
that we're trying to give the game away. The Cowboys
had a grand total of ninety yards in the second
half of offense, and most of those came in the
(08:57):
fourth quarter. Most of the night. I think they like
twenty eight yards in the third quarter. Seven penalties. Randy
Gregory wearing a Dunce cap somewhere in the Arlington, Texas
area with a couple of egregious penalties running into the
punter was insane. Insanity. Lelle Collins, the offensive lineman, he
(09:17):
missed a block, got a penalty while getting you run over.
He got a penalty and that. And then Dak Prescott
who had two fumbles. All three of them, the three
stooges all took turn screwing up. There's other people too, right,
you can. I get a shout out to Amari Cooper
who showed Jerry Jones why he was available. All those Yeah,
(09:40):
all those turnovers. But even with all that wrongdoing, the
Cowboys still won. The Saints lost. Now, secondly, this is
extra emasculating for New Orleans because this vaunted offense was
stopped in its tracks late in the game. So one thing.
They struggled early, but then they found themselves. We've got
(10:01):
to face the facts here that the Cowboys are a
good They're not a great defense. They played great. They
this was a game for the ages, right, this is
a game or wake up the Echoes and all that.
But Dallas coming into this game was seventh overall in
total defense they allowed. On the year, they've been averaging
allowing three hundred thirty one yards per game. The last
(10:21):
three weeks. The Cowboys defensively were twentieth in the NFL.
So who could have seen that coming? They were twentieth.
They were giving up three hundred and sixty eight yards
per game. Now that's not Rams Chiefs bad, but that's
not great. That's not great. And these guys collectively had
the game of their lives. And there's no question, there's
no debate about that. The Saints had one hundred and
(10:43):
seventy six yards. They were lethargic. Ninety percent of this game.
New Orleans was twenty five yards of offense in the
fourth quarter, A team with Alvin Kamara and the great
Michael Thomas and his family shout out holiday and rue
Brees and all that. And Dallas. What they did here,
(11:04):
I can't stress this enough. With the Cowboys have done
is they have shown the rest of the NFL the
cheat code on how to mess up the bio rhythms.
Of the New Orleans Saints played ferocious defense, chaos wrecking
for the Saints and against the Saints, and how many
(11:25):
teams So here's the problem though, like how many teams
can mimic this and play with that sustained rage? Probably
not that many. The good news though, if you look
around and you say this is the cheat code beat
the Saints, you say, well, okay, most of the other
teams aren't gonna turtle up on offense, so they don't
have to be flaw this, and I have to be
(11:47):
flaw this on defense because the offense will do a
little something in the second half. We always hear the
cliche it's a copycat league all that crap. So we'll
find out find out going forward who ends up copying that. Now. Finally,
this game also a reminder that the Saints cannot totally
(12:08):
be all in on Drew Brees. They know they have
no options really realistically other than that. But the idea
that Drew Brees is gonna be mister reliable and yeah,
he's just gonna go out there and every single game
he is gonna get her done, no problem, no concern
in the world is also not real world. Now he
(12:30):
sucked in this game, and you say, well, he was
due for that, he'd been playing relatively well. It was
the kind of performance that reminds you of some horrifically
mediocre to terrible names of NFL pass guys like Mark Boulger,
Stan Humphries, Jay Cutler, Steve Bartkowski, Aaron Brooks, guys like that.
(12:53):
Because I looked it up, that's the stat line that
those guys have had. Drew Brees had one hundred and
twenty seven yards, one touchdown winners, a passer rating of
seventy one point six. That's the kind of game that
those guys had. The last quarterback to have exactly that
stat line was Jeff Blake, the immortal Jeff Blake. He
(13:13):
was with the Ravens at the time. Who well, Jeff Blake.
I remember him from the Bengals, but he last, yeah,
before your time, but in twenty o two. And that's
from Pro Football Reference. But the bad news here now,
Drew Brees is a thirty nine year old quarterback and
you said, well, he's gonna have a few stink bomps.
He's had the last six weeks, Drew Brees has had
(13:36):
two of these. Two of these, right, remember what happened
weeks seven. Now the perfect body spray the fact that
these Saints managed to beat Minnesota. That was a Sunday
night game and Drew Brees had one hundred and twenty
yards in that game. I believe, I think it was
one hundred and twenty in that game. And in this
game he has one hundred and twenty seven. And so hey,
(13:58):
you know, good luck. I hope he enjoyed being in
the poll position for the MVP because now my guy,
mister ketchup loving well done steak eating Patrick Mahomes Grover
is now the front runner for the Most Valuable Player
and another reason that the sin should be very concerned.
Now I did the math. Now that's two out of
(14:19):
the last six games that Drew Brees has had a
gay game that really is forgettable, a fiasco that's thirty
three point three percent of the time. You're gonna get
this Drew Brees in the last sixty Good luck on that.
And again, you can ram it all day, you can
ram it all night. There's gonna be a pit of
(14:45):
sharks at the LA Memorial Coliseum. Yeah, you laugh all
you want, I don't care. Let's hear a little bit
from the from the CoCom. We won't hear much from
lockhom Let's hear. Let's hear how the Saints. I want
to hear what they have to say. Here. Let's hear
from Sean Peyton the Saints. Is he on the hot
(15:09):
seat now, Sean Payton? After this game? Is Sean Payton?
Is he in trouble? Is Sean Payton about to Could
he be fired for this game? We'll hear from him
in a minute. Let's hear from Drew Brees first though. Uh,
and Drew Brees. Let's see here he's talking about potatoes.
What kind of potatoes is mojo potatoes? Is that what
(15:30):
he's talking about here? Yeah? You know, here we are
at ten and two. Obviously we had we'd won ten
in a row, which felt like we had. Man, we
were rolling, you know, and not anymore. So now it's
now it's time to get that mojo back and get
back to work. When we get back and get ready
to roll, Yeah, you're gonna go on Amazon by some
Mojoe potatoes. Yeah, yeah, you can do that all right. Uh.
(15:54):
Here's more from from Drew Brees, who talked about the
Cowboy Ways and what they were doing defensively. Well, I
mean every holding call that they threw was was on Mike. Yeah,
they were, they were holding them every chance they got.
But oh my god, they were cheating and they got
they've got some they got some good dbs on that
(16:14):
side of the ball, and so we got those guys
played a good game. I believe we just called them
a cheater. So they were holding cheating? What's up with that?
All right? I don't do we need to I don't
know if we need to hear from anybody? Do we
need to hear I don't know. Do we need to
hear from anybody else? What do you think should we hear?
Do I want to hear what Sean Payton had to say?
(16:36):
I don't know. No, No, we don't know who cares.
He's just gonna give us nothing anymore. I don't want
to hear putting my foot down. I do not want
to hear no interest in Sean Strew You, Sean Payton,
You're a loser. I don't want to hear you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, No,
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know if
(16:56):
I wanted, Maybe we'll hear it later. Why don't we
save it that maybe if I feel like it will
play la how about the So this is a Ben
Mallers show like no other show. I have been doing
radio at Fox Sports Radio for a very long time,
since I was before I went through puberty. I was
working here at Fox Sports Radio. And this is the
first time I can ever remember when my entire staff
(17:19):
decided to bail on me, all my regulars. It is
the orphan edition of the show. The orphan edition, all
the all the Bennett's quit, every one of the Bennett's quit.
And we've got Ralph Rex Sports Radio. He's here. We've
got Vince who I've never worked with. I've seen him
(17:42):
for several years in the hallways. He rarely talks to me,
but he's here. He seems like a nice guy. We're
around the same age. I think we'll vibe. And then
here's how far onto the bench they had to go
management at this company. They it was like that scene
in Major League They were calling, Hey, you want to
play for the Indians. Yeah. They they went and they
(18:04):
took the morning show producer, the guy that makes Clay
Travis sound good, and they said we need him because
even Roberto quit on the show. Danny ge making a
rare cameo appearance back on the radio, the microphone throttling
(18:26):
there he is, Yeah, our friend, Danny g it's just
like it doesn't change because he's got laker garon. Roberto
has laker garon every day. I'm fighting the good fight
against you guys every single day. Dad. You know the
big difference, Ben, I don't have a sick child at home. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
power through. That's why they I told Roberto, I try
(18:46):
to explain to rock garlic. I said, listen, you took
to take the piece of rock garlic. He told him
to stick the raw garlic into his daughter's mouth. Yes,
teach him young, Yes, absolutely, that's that's the original medicine
back before there was this this whole rob Yeah, exactly.
All your needs garlic. You don't need this other stuff
in the old world. That's how they did it, you know,
(19:07):
in the old world. All right, Well, we'll take some
phone calls you. I think you know what we're talking about.
I think you do. Eight seven seven nineteen. Oh, I'm
not supposed to give a number. I stopped. See I
haven't been giving out the number. Danny. I knew you
guys are all new, but with Danny that, but I
got so upset the other day with the with the listeners,
I didn't give out the full number. So if you
know the number, call, if you know the number, call,
we'll do that in Vince. We'll take your phone call
(19:28):
so you can talk to Vince. We are on the
brink of a blockbuster baseball trade. We'll get to that,
and we will revisit Jerry's world. We'll go there as well.
We'll get to all that and we will do it next.
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on

(19:52):
that's what the cowboys are doing right now. We'll get
to that. And also, I guess we can call this
the Magic Hour. I'll ex Lane welcome in the beginning
of another hour. It's the Ben Maller Show. We are

The Saints favored by a touchdown on the road. The Juggernaut,
the invincible, bulletproof, unbeatable Saints ever since that hiccup in
(20:38):
Week one, ten straight wins. They pooped the bed is
what they did. A horrifically bad offensive performance. Cowboys get
a thirteen ten win. They only played half half a
game of offense. That's it. They didn't show up in
the second half the Cowboys on offense. The defense, though,
was perfect, a flawless performance by the Cowboys defense. They
held the Saints to ten points, first time that's happened
(21:01):
ten points or less since twenty fifteen. The Saints didn't score,
as I mentioned in the first half, that hadn't happened
since twenty fourteen, held under two hundred yards of total
offense that hadn't happened since twenty thirteen, and one hundred
and eighty yards of offense underneath that first time since
twenty two, twenty two. My voice hadn't even changed yet
(21:25):
in twenty I was here at Fox Sports Radier. My
voice hadn't changed. He did not back in the day.
But anyway, so all those things and the Cowboys, as
they are known to. Let gonna get more of this later.
But the Cowboys going on and on and on about
how great they are. Who does it better than Jerry Jones. Nobody.
Jerry Jones saying to the assembled masses of the media
(21:45):
in Jerry's world that the Cowboys are quote, different cats
after they beat the Saints. So I think they're not cats.
Does he realize he's not owning the Lions or the Panthers?
Are those are the cats? That's number one? But Jones
was very braggadocious, and as you should be, right, you
(22:06):
win a game like that, you get to bragging, and
that's how it works. But Jerry was going over the
top and he went through and just was very celebratory
as you would expect. Says, you win something like this
against the team that well coached, those kind of players,
a caliber of team like that, Jones said, and you
know you've done it. The mirror knows you've done it.
(22:28):
You change. This is a game changer. These guys, they're
different cats. Yeah, Well, as long as Jerry doesn't want
to circumcise and mosquitos, I think we're good. I think
we're good on that. Yeah, it's all right, so those
are Jerry's comments. Now the question, and we'll get more
of this later, but does this really change anything for
(22:51):
the Dallas Cowboys. Now I'll expand on this more later,
but my position is no. The reason it doesn't change
anything we have seen team score big wins for their
franchises and then pull a Harry Houdini, a vanishing act, abracadabra,
(23:11):
hocus pocus, presto, see you later. I'll give you two examples.
Jacksonville after their AFC Championship game last year, they had
the lead at halftime, they blew it. The Patriots and
Jags played back in week two, September sixteenth. Jacksonville won
that game and then gave a lecture to the media
for not covering them. Since that game back on September sixteenth,
(23:37):
Jacksonville has won one game. One game. That's it. They've
got seven losses in a row. They've lost eight of nine.
But for at the moment, that was a big deal.
As a franchise turning win. Jacksonville's turned the corner. They
could host the AFC Championship game. Now they could host
the number two pick or the number three pick in
(23:59):
the NFL Draft. And then the other example of a
fraudulent big win. Can I get the flame heads from Nashville,
the Tennessee Titans, who had back to back wins on
a Monday night against the Cowboys and then beat the Patriots,
and oh my god, they did. They'd take the Patriots
to the woodshed. And after that game, the media was
(24:22):
just tickling Marcus Mariota and saying how great the Titans were.
This is a playoff team and since that game lost
to the Colts, lost to the Texans, They're not going
to the playoffs. So it really when I'm getting at
here for the Cowboys and the Cup of Obvious, you
know where I'm going with this is it matters what
happens now, all right, Because the Cowboys they've won four
(24:46):
in a row, and that's all great, right, wonderful, and
a couple of close wins that have gone their way.
But I wouldn't be surprised if the Cowboys at home
lose to the Philadelphia Eagles next week. I wouldn't be
surprised if they lose to the Colts a week after.
So for Jerry Jones, I understand it, I get it.
I'm not this is not my first trip to the carnival.
(25:07):
I've been to the carnival before. I know where all
the good food is at the carnival. So I understand
what Jerry Jones is doing right different cats. He's in
the marketing business. I understand it. But my position is
one of okay, let's if you follow us up with
a couple more wins, then I'm like, okay now, and
now we've got something. But we'll get more into it later. Now. Meanwhile,
the other story I wanted to get to it. I'm
so glad as an orphan. My team has left me.
(25:29):
It's conspiring against me. But the story involving Lebron, well,
it's a Magic Johnson story. I saw a Magic's quote
and that got my attention. Now, we didn't touch this
the other day, but the story that was reported in
a published report said Lebron James is ignoring Luke Walton's
coaching and the plays that are called. Report quoted an
(25:52):
unnamed NBA scout that claimed, scouting Laker games, Lebron is
going rogue. He's essentially doing whatever he wants. Now, Magic
Johnson was asked about this, Now, do you think that
Magic A confirmed it? B denied it. Or see no comment.
Of course, Magic chose number B or number B letter B.
(26:15):
Magic publicly disputed the legitimacy of the story, calling it
essentially we've heard this before fake news. He failed Late
Night Talks to your host. Magic Johnson said, the Lakers
system moves the ball around with pick and roll play,
so Lebron doesn't have his hands on the ball all
the time. Anyway, I wanted to talk about this now.
(26:36):
We have an old fashioned I love this in talk radio,
he said. He said, situation, which is second only to a.
He said, She said situation. We have a he said,
He said, situation. Toss up question. You're gonna take Magic
Johnson denying this story, or the anonymous NBA scout who's
right on Lebron James. I'm with the scout. I am
(27:01):
going with the scout. That is what I'm gonna do.
Now my viewpoint, You've got the Bunker mentality, the sock puppet,
and Evergreen, and we will bind all this together. Now,
first of all, Magic Johnson is the word is compromised
on this. He's got a vested interest in downplaying this story.
(27:22):
These kind of things happen a lot, and you know,
you look at it one hundred percent of the time,
and executive's gonna downplay it ninety nine percent of the time.
These types of stories are later proven correct. Somebody writes
a book, somebody tells stories out of school. Magic is
going with that bunker mentality. It's all Lakers have to
(27:43):
bunker down. And for two reasons, a Lebron James doing
whatever he wants with the Lakers makes Magic Johnson and
Luke Walton look like a clown show the Lakers organization,
and be Lebron James is touch about this. He likes
to control everything. He wants final say on all moves,
(28:07):
but does not want the people to know about it,
or at least wants to deny it. Doesn't want to
be called out for it. It gives him plausible deniability. Now,
what's my proof based on both anecdotal and direct evidence.
The anecdotal evidence is this anonymous NBA scout. The direct
evidence would be my eyeballs. That would be my eyeballs.
(28:32):
That that's the direct evidence. And secondly, Luke Walton, I
think we can all agree on this is on borrowed time. Eventually,
this disheveled Laker team that just that I won't beat
Indiana because Indiana was one of those those Hickory High
School uniforms. They should lose every game with those Hickory
High School uniforms that they wear occasionally. But anyway, so
(28:55):
the Lakers had lost back to back. They got blown
off the court by the Nuggets, they lost to the
Orlando Magic, got swept by the Magic. So eventually, what
happens if you look at Lebron James playbook on page
one thirty four of Lebron James Playbook, blame the coach
Luke Walton. At some point here is going to get
a seat at the table with Mike Brown, David Blatt,
(29:19):
Brendan Malone and Paul Silas, all those guys that can
have a nice dinner and tell old stories. They were
all neutered by King James at one point or another.
The only Tylu and Eric Spoelstra survived. The only reason
Spolster survived is because Lebron left. Tylu survived and then
quickly got jettisoned this season because he's like, I don't
(29:40):
want to coach. I mean gonna come on, I'm Lebron's guy.
So Lebron got, you know, Leron went to La and
Luke got whacked, and Luke Walton's like a sock puppet.
Lebron has the leeway to do whatever he wants, completely unrestricted.
The Lakers were so desperate, so desperate, so helpless, they
sold their soul and the form. Whatever Lebron wants. Le
(30:04):
Bron wants to change the colors and have an alternative uniform,
forget purple and gold, will go with he likes the
Raiders so silver and black, or it likes the Cowboys
blue and silver. Whatever, and Genie buss it would sign
off on us. That's a good idea cross marketing. Final word. Now,
being a distant relative of the great Nose to a damas,
I would like to predict some other stories to come
(30:27):
out of Lakerland. Now. These are what I call ever
green stories. Now, if you're not in broadcasting, I think
most people know this, but maybe not. Evergreen is a
timeless show. People that do podcasts usually try to do
a timeless show because if you date it, if it's
if it has an expiration date, you know, if you
if you go back and hear this show, it's you're
(30:48):
going to know, well, it's you know, stuff's happened since
here It's one of the blessings and the curses of
what we do is it is a disposable form of entertainment.
It doesn't have a long shelf life most of the
things we talk about because it's ever changing. It's fun,
it's cool. I like it because every day's a new
a new battle to fight. But there's not a lot
of stuff that has a long lifespan because it's always
(31:10):
changing and so evergreen. That's what I'm talking about. So
these are some stories that are evergreen that usually happen
around Lebron James. Tell me if I'm wrong, Lebron James.
Here's you see this on the internet. Lebron James growing
frustrated with his young teammates. I think you'll see that
at some point, unnamed source says, I think so. How
(31:31):
about this one? Sources say Lebron has talked to Kevin
Durant about joining him in LA. Do you think you'll
see that? I think so. I didn't go to college. Sorry,
Laker executives annoyed Lebron spending too much time on side projects.
I think you might see that one. Yeah, how about
this one? King James is fed up. He's had enough
(31:54):
of Lukewald. I think we'll see that. I think so.
This is something Lebron's done many times. He didn't do
it last year, at least he didn't take time off.
But this is a standard Lebron move. This is on
page two sixteen of his playbook. You'll see this headline
from one of his one of his friends in the
media that report like Windhurst, who follows him around and
(32:15):
chronicles he's everything he does. Lebron is physically and mentally
exhausted from having to carry these young Laker players. So
you guys want me to turn my brain off because
I'm go have a huge basket by IQ not at all. Yeah,
we'll see all of those things, all of those Hi.
It is the Ben Mallers show. This is the orphan edition.
(32:35):
I am here for. You cannot say the same thing
for the rest of the staff. They don't like you,
they don't care about you, they hate you. Eddie Garcia
took a night off from work. He is not doing anything.
He has an early flight. You know what that is
bad scheduling. Cooper Loop went to a musical. He's not here. Yeah,
(33:00):
that is code. That is code. And then rue Bert
two uh said he didn't get enough sleep, so he
wanted to take a nap. The greatness of the Raiders,
so in their place we have well for Coop, it's
Vince Yeah. And then with Eddie away, they have given
(33:22):
us Ralph breaks sports radio, cruising down the street in
my six four and a rare cameo appearance. Let me
tell he was so excited to be here, was so
happy when a management called him up and said, I
would like to screw your schedule up and have you
come in and work on the Mallar Show again, And
he said, yes, can I have a double dose Danny
(33:42):
g Radios the top year lung Scream where the white
women at area is our old friend Danny. Oh hanging.
It's good to see it, Danny. It's great. Yeah. Normally
I'm listening to you at this exact time. This is
when my alarm usually goes off. Really yeah, alarms, alarms.
(34:05):
I'm I'm looking at my clock. I'm thinking, well, my sleep,
number of beds still a few hours away, you know,
I mean, I gotta get, I gotta get. I'm almost
at the finish line, but I'm not quite at the
finish line. You got to I hit snooze snooze and
then your voice comes back on and you're still going
and at the end of your monologue, yeah, yeah, to
like twenty eight after. As you know, I am buy
the clock for the clock plausibly all about the clock wrong, Oh,
(34:31):
morning producer, Now there you I I know I've gotten
out of the gym occasionally and I get in the
car and the radio is on Fox Sports Radio, and
I've I've heard the Morning show occasionally come back at
the twenty eight passed or something twenty past. I've heard that.
I've heard that too. I've noted that. I've said. I'm
not the only one at all. It's Morning Drive. Consistency
(34:52):
consists between the two shows. Yep. Yeah, I learned how
to do that on this show and then I carried
it over to OutKick the coverage. Yeah yeah, I remember
at one point years ago, they gave us a hard
out all the breaks, and it was everyone was just
running into brick walls the entire time. It was just marvelous.
Is this great? And we have Vince's here now, I
(35:14):
don't know much about Vincy's from Washington. You've been here
a while, Vince. I've seen you for a while in
the Hallways, how long have you been at the company?
I started as an intern about three years ago, so
here here as an employee of almost two years. Okay,
that's cool. And were you in radio somewhere else or
you did you have like a regular job before this
or what? No. I I had a myriad of jobs
(35:36):
for a law office, I worked for sales, I worked
in as a waiter. I did just about everything. But
I kind of fell in love with it when I
moved into Los Angeles, went to school for it, and
now I'm here. I'm very excited to learn from the
greatest buttering Buttering my biscuits l it's been sharing his
notes with you. Yeah, yeah, right, yes, all right, that's cool.
(36:00):
Oh it's good too, good to see. I'm so glad
you're here and you're working with Jonas on the weekend.
So we'll reopen the phone us. Now. I'm not giving
out the number because that's how I roll, but if
you know the number, we'd love to talk to you.
And we got lame jokes. I really good lame jokes,
really good lamb jokes. Oh boy. Usually when you say
they're good, they're bad. And when you rant and complain
and say they're bad. They're good. So no, no, these
(36:22):
are good. I laughed at these. That means bad. I
laughed at these. I did. I laughed it so well. Anyway,
well we'll get to that. We'll take your phone because
the lines are reopened. Some of these people have been
on hold the entire time. I guess they didn't want
to hang up. Hey, we're paying the bill. Who care
stay on hold them better companies paying, not my money.
I love this Dwight Howard story. I don't know how
(36:44):
to talk about it though, Like I don't know what
to say other than it's just the most amazing thing
that it could possibly be the Dwight Howards or if
you don't know, there was an internet story which a
person claiming to be a former love interest of Dwight Howard,
who lives a bit of an alternative lifestyle, shall we say,
(37:09):
went into great detail about Dwight's preferences in the bedroom,
which some would find to certainly in the Bible belt taboo.
Two guys is enough for me. So that story happened
over the week, and the mainstream media didn't really report
it because it was so wild. They just stayed away.
And now the story comes out a few days later
(37:32):
that Dwight Howard might need surgery for a lutole injury,
which I believe is the buttocks. He has a buttocks injury,
which is just wonderful. Say what he injured his buttocks?
Hey told Stool it's that not Sometimes in life, timing
(37:53):
is just perfect, It is just marvelous, And that would
be one of those times. That would absolutely be one
of those steps. I We'll take your calls and we'll
press on. Hey had that tite butt You're talking about
another win for the SEC, but not that SEC. We'll
