Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our number one, our one of the original recipe podcast,
The Ben Mahlord Show, and a tough hour, tough day
and hour one, but it's all about Monday Night football.
To start mallard monologue about the Dolphins and the Rams.
Who's to blame for the rams pathetic performance on Monday
(00:22):
Night Football? Also, what is the Malard scale of concern
for the Sean McVay Rams and making the playoffs after
they lose at home to a bad Miami team? But
what does this win do?
Speaker 3 (00:34):
For two?
Speaker 2 (00:34):
A tongue of a loa and the Dolphins will talk
about all that. Also a big announcement if you're a
regular listener, which you are, you're downloading the podcast about
the The Ben Maler Show, and a friend of our
show in the in the middle of this the B
block as we like to call it. So we'll get
that and more right now here. It is our number one.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
A dolphin delight if you will well come in the
beginning of another edition of The Benmahlors Show.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
We are in the air everywhares we attempt to make
a connection and I want you to know we do
dominate on that dance floor.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Unless we don't coast to coast, border the.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Border and beyond on the mast and prodigiously powerful microphones
of fsr M monating live from the down the touchdown
in the back of the end zone, something the RAMS
did not accomplish. We're broadcasting live from the tier rackt
dot com studios tyract dot com. We'll help you get
(01:42):
there and unmatched selection, mass free shipping, free road hazard
protection and over ten thousand recommended in stars tyraq dot
com the way tirebind should be.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
So gonna start with the Moneay night game.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
There's a big announcement I will give you, guys in
a few minutes, but I'm going to start with the
football game. Will work our way to that. But you
want to keep listening, well you should listen anyway. But
I know some of you knuckleheads too now. But a big,
big news, grown up news that we have to share
with you coming up in a little bit better lead
this hour from the hood in Inglewood. As our friend
(02:19):
in that region, helmet Man likes to say Sofa Stadium,
It's actually called Sofi Stadium. That was the scene of
the final act on the Week ten NFL card, The
Fox Refugees Troy Aikman and Joe Buck had to call
the floundering tour Tongue of iy lo and the Dolphins
swimming into trying to stop the madness here. They'd lost
(02:42):
a bunch, hadn't won in a while, and they had
a date with Matthew Stafford on the Rams. That was
the match up there. And if you saw it or not,
you're watching, did this get you a little little turned out?
Speaker 1 (02:52):
No? Did not?
Speaker 2 (02:52):
All right, Well, we watched so you would not have to.
Tyreek Hill, who had been missing. Tyreek Hill caught a
short touchdown pass from Tua Tongue of i loa in
the third quarter and that held up and it ended
that long drought, in fact, the longest scoring drought of
his career. And the Dolphins not a great defensive team,
(03:14):
not recently anyway. The Dolphins limiting LA to field goals,
keeping them out of the end zone, did not even
get in the end zone the Rams.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
That's pathetic.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
And the Dolphins snap a three game losing streak, just
their second win in eight games.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
So the Miami football team.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
The better story, though, is in the losing locker room,
So that is where we will focus here. And who's
to blame. Who's to blame for the rams pathetic performance
on Monday Night football?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
We play the blame game. I've got K.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Nine, hoverboard and treasure map, and we will combine all
of those things together and we are going to make barbecue.
And I spent the weekend in Kansas City. I met
some of you, you know who you are, and I
had a great time and I had some amazing barbecue,
which is good and bad. It's good because I enjoyed it.
(04:10):
It's bad because I can't get that where I live,
So I'm screwed, you understand.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
All right?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Anyway, my first thought here when you talk about the
matchup on Monday Night Football, the LA defense.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Actually played well like.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
The Rams were terrible defensively early year, So you can't
blame the La Rams defense. They held Miami to two
hundred and thirty eight yards of offense and two I
got off to a fast start and then after that
was with shake. Now maybe it was my TV, but
that's how I saw the game. So we'll start with
the eye of the storm for the Rams, who turned
(04:47):
out couldn't ram it all night, not in the end zone.
It falls on the shoulders of Matthew Stafford. In this game,
the Rams offense when it got timed for paydirt stonewalled
LA failed to score a touchdown on offense. So how
rare is that Sean McVay has been coaching for a
while with the Rams now and that's only the eighth
(05:07):
time in Sean mcvay's career the Rams have failed to
score an offensive touchdown. And since Matthew Stafford came over
from the Motor City Kiddies, the Rams always score at
least one touchdown and this is only a second time
with Stafford in four years that they have not gotten into.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
The end zone.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
And it was it was so bad that Stafford needed
a canine. He needed to borrow Blind Scott's service dog.
He needed a need some help there, definitely needed some help.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
For sure. It was bad.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
I mean the whole he was missed. There were a
couple of plays where he missed receivers that were there.
He could have scored touchdowns, could have should have and
all that. Well, here's Matthew Stafford pointing out what could
have happened but didn't happen.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Similar game plans going into it. It feels like when you
when you go back and play in your head.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
But you know he did a better job of execute
and come away with some touchdowns, which.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Is another one. That's what I'm saying. I sucked. I sucked.
That's what he could have said, but he didn't say that.
He did not say it.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
So he needs a need some help on that and
not just the missed plays the touchdowns that were left
on the field. Stafford was sacked by four times sacked,
but it seemed like more than that watching it seemed
like it was more than four. Not Caleb Williams bad.
He didn't didn't sense the pass rush, which is kind
(06:31):
of important. I didn't play quarterback. This is kind of important,
and was serving up just sloppy. Joe's or in this
clase is sloppy. Stafford's all over the field and a
bad job by him and Stafford. If you looked at
the box squers way, I had two hundred ninety three yards,
that's not that bad, but forty six attempts averaging six
(06:52):
point four yards for a tamp seven's average, so he
was below average on that and a lot of that
coming late. The dolphin is able to let the rams
go down a little bit down the field, and just kick.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Field goals and that was it. That was all.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
And over the last month, give me this Dolphin defense
the last month ranked eighteenth in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Is that good?
Speaker 2 (07:15):
There's thirty two teams. I don't think that's good. Do
you think that's good? I don't think that's good. And
over the last three weeks just one sack and they
had four sacks against Matthew Stafford and whatnot. So they
played above what they were supposed to play. The Rams
played below what they were supposed to play, and that's
how you get the result that you get. Now, page two,
What is the Mallord scale of concern? The Malor scale
(07:37):
of concern for Sean mcvay's Rams making the playoffs playoffs
after this loss knocks on them back under the even
water mark on the season. So the Malor scale of concern,
which is never wrong. Okay, you've listening with them. Mallard
scale of concern is never wrong. One to ten, with
ten being getting ready for the scouting combine and the
(08:00):
the NFL Draft in those pro days. One to ten,
I'm at a seven, a seven point zero on the
Mallard scale, concerner, this is a game the Rams should have,
could have, would have won.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
They didn't.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
They fetched it away, they didn't play well. Miami, they
blow and yet you lost the game at home East
Coast team coming west. All of that, however, for the Rams,
they continue despite this loss on the hoverboard of mediocrity.
They're hovering around mediocrity. You don't have to be that
(08:32):
good to make the playoffs. Now, it's a little different
in the NFC than it is in the AFC. However,
the Rams now sit at four and five on the season,
so they're one game under five hundred, and they still
have by my count, not one, not two, not three,
not four, but five games that I have as the
fifty to fifty raffle meaning could go either way.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Should win summer on the road.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
You'll be an underdog in those games, likely by but
they're toss up games, fifty to fifty raffle games. So
of those, if you win those and you're not gonna
win all the meal four and one, that gets you
to eight wins and then you have to pull one
upset along the way. The NFC West, though, is wide open,
wide open. So to rephrase this for those of your
(09:18):
little slow if you pull a couple of upsets your
back where you need to be in terms of the plus.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
But the great quote.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
By Henry Ford, kind of an important person in American history.
Henry Ford said, whether you think you can or you can't,
either way you're right. So whether you think the Rams
can make the playoffs or can't, either way you're correct.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
All right. Now, last word here the winning locker room.
That is where we would go.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
So what does this victory for the Tua Tongue of
Iloa Dolphins. What does this win do for that Dolphin team?
Because I don't like that good. Do you think they're good?
I don't think they're good. I watched the game embarrassed
for the Rams. It was emasculating. But what upsetting the
Rams does from thirty thousand feet It's like the quote
(10:06):
from Jesse Jackson back in the day, they gotta keep
hope alive.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Got to keep hope alive. It keeps hope alive, is
what it does. It keeps hope alive. If you look
at the treasure map, it's a little different. Like the
Rams pretty much have to win the NFC West that's
most realistic to make the playoffs. It's not that for
the Dolphins. The Dolphins aren't gonna win the division. Buffalo
is gonna win the division by a million games. So
instead it's.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
About getting that last wild card, and this opens up
a portal to another dimension called the postseason. The Dolphins
are three and six on what planet in the cosmos?
Is three and six good? Not this one? Maybe the
one you live on, but not this one. They're bad
to the bone, bad to them. However, you still have
(10:49):
a lot of those cupcake games, a lot of those
cream pie games. See a lot of those, and five games,
five games with tomato cans.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Okay, So if you'll win those all of them, that
gets you to eight wins. Now eight wins, say, well,
you're still under five one hundred and eight and nine.
That ain't ain't good. If you look around.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
At the very bottom of the AFC standings, the last
team in barring some kind of super nova over the
last part of the NFL season, you're looking at a
team right around eight or nine wins getting in maybe
even less than that if you look at how bad
those teams at the bottom. So you mix all of
that together and you let that settle, and then you
(11:34):
put that in the fridge, let it cool. A little bit,
then you put in the oven, so they're they're right
in the middle of the maze. Even at three and six.
Three in six, you're right in the middle of the maze,
bottom of the AFC. The issue is they deserve to
be three and six. It's not like it's a misleading
three and six, it's not a confusing three and six.
It's not perplexing at all. You're three and six.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
You suck. You deserve to suck.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
And every one of those games that Dolphins are going
into thinking, hey, you know, we don't We really don't
think we're gonna lose that game. Those other teams playing
the Dolphins are like, oh, we can't lose to the Dolphins.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
The Rams didn't think they were gonna lose the Dolph.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Why would you lose the Dolphin? Who lose to the Dolphins.
Dan Marino's not walking through that door to play anyway.
It is the Ben Mallor Show. If you would like
to be part, you can join us, and I'm not
gonna take any calls right now. Some other stuff we
need to get to and we will get to that.
But you can hit me up on the X machine
at Ben Mallor that is at Ben Mahllor. I'm gonna
(12:34):
have an emergency Mallor meeting and on air Mallard meeting.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
How rare it.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Is that we do an on air Mallar meeting. But
I need to address something. So I need to talk
to you and we need to chat. And so we're
gonna chat, and whether you like it or not, we're
gonna have a conversation. It won't be a long conversation.
I don't like long conversations. It will be a very
short conversation. But we're gonna talk. And there's some things
that I need to say, and there's some things that
you need to hear, whether you like it or not.
(13:00):
So we're gonna do that, and we'll do it, and
we'll do it next.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
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 1 (13:13):
It is the Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
As we slide into a Tuesday, still late on a
Monday on the West Coast, I'm trying to talk over
a vocal, trying to do dedication, and I'm darking over
a vocal. So we started with the Monday night football game,
the Rams and the Dolphins, and my mind was elsewhere.
(13:38):
My mind was elsewhere. I watched the game. I was
like in zombie mode watching the game, watching the game here.
So we need to call a emergency, Malord meeting here
on the air. And this is something I don't want
to talk about. I didn't think what happen, but it
has happened, and so I wanted to share with you
(13:58):
as a friend of the show and someone it's part
of our all right, no please, I'm no, all right, anyway,
I don't need No, that's not gonna help. It's not
gonna help. So we've had good days and bad days
here on this show. As you know, you're with us,
you're part of our family. I was able to meet
(14:18):
some of you. We had a great turnout in Kansas City.
I was feeling, you know, on top of the world.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
There.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
I thought, boy, you know, everything's great, wonderful. It could
not have been better. It was just a perfect weekend
in Kansas City at an amazing time.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
So I came back. I took an early flight.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
And I was sleeping during the day because I didn't sleep,
I was up and crack of dawn before that. In fact,
so tough day at the office. But let me get
to the point here. I want to share some news
with you guys. And I don't think this is out
in the public yet. The parent company here that we
work for, iHeart Media, has made a number of roster
(14:56):
moves and happened over the last week or so. Some
of it got mentioned on the internet and media reports
about what had happened. Well, Fox Sports Radio is run
by iHeart and they did make some changes here, and
a number of them happened at our office here on
(15:18):
Monday while I was flying and sleeping and all that.
This is obviously not my department. Other people have to
deal with that. It is often cruel. I have been
in that position before. I will probably be in that
position again. That's just the way the business works. It
just happens. And a number of people here at Fox
(15:41):
Sports Radio were let go. These are our friends, These
are the people that are part of our lives here
that we have spent a lot of time with over
the years. One in particular that I need to share
with you is my good friend and our colleague. I've
worked with this guy for twenty years. Eddie Garcia, the
great Eddie Garcia has been let go by the company
and he is no longer employed. He will not hear
(16:03):
Eddie on our show or the Morning show with Jonas,
and nothing to do with Eddie's work. It's not performance
real late or anything like that, you know, as much
as I wish it was because of the cheating at
the game shows.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I'm kidding. No, I know Eddie, I know.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Who's gonna tell me to shut up. I have free
rain now, I can do whatever I want. But no,
I am very upset. It's I talked to Eddie. I
spoke with him on the phone for a little bit
in the late afternoon. Once I found out, I gave
him a call. We talked, We're gonna get together, have
have a meal here at some point in the next
couple of weeks.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
And all that.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Eddie was in relatively good spirits considering that he had
been here for twenty three years.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
And it's not your normal relationship.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
I mean, obviously, you guys, I know from meeting a
number of you this weekend in Kansas City, and Eddie's name,
and you know Coop and Lorraine obviously, but Eddie was
a big part of the conversation.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
One guy.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
One of the guys showed up up in a Penguin's
jersey on talk hockey and.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Now put my stick right in your mouth.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Yeah, well exactly so. So I obviously Eddie was able
to connect with you a lot. You know, I'm I'm
pretty much a goofball. I admit that I like to
goof around. I like to you know, Eddie's Eddie's a
straight man. Eddie's a serious guy. You know, he doesn't
like the goof around as much as I do, and
as much as we busted each other's chops over the
(17:25):
years here, in many ways, as an adult, I grew
up with Eddie. I've worked here since my mid.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Twenties, and you know, Eddie is a little older than
I am.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
But we've been side by side, off and on for
twenty three years. I mean, we've seen tremendous things happen
to both our marriages. Eddie and I were single guys
when we started here.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Both married. Now we've seen tragedies. Our parents died.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
I went to you know, funeral, He went to my
parents funeral back in the day, my mom and I
was his dad's funeral. And so we've we've been together
right We've been there through great triumphs and tragedies in
life as anyone at work. And you know, one of
the things about radio we love. Roberto left. He didn't
get let oh, he just left to become a bus driver.
And I don't see Verbert. I talk to him. I
(18:12):
hope to keep in contact with Eddie and whatnot. And
he did say he's planning on coming to the Ugly
Sweater party, which is cool. So I'll get to see
Eddie there for sure. And I do want you to
listen to his podcast. You know, I ripped his podcast
all the time, but I really want you to listen
to it now. I really do Puck the Puck Podcast
with Eddie, and he loves hockey. It's his passion and
(18:34):
he does a tremendous.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Job with that.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
So you give that a list and support Eddie. He
can also email me. He's obviously he's on social media.
I don't know if he's posted anything, probably not yet.
He's trying to figure out what to put on there.
But you can email. If you're not a social media person,
I will some of you. You Yahoo's avoid social media,
and I get it. You're probably living a better life
than I am. If you want to email Eddie though,
(18:59):
try to remember the shot this down, download the podcast.
It's Eddie on Fox at gmail dot com. That's Eddie
on Fox at gmail dot com. That's Eddie's personal email address.
You can send him a message obviously, let him know
and find out. And you know, I want to thank
(19:19):
Scott some of the people at the company here. You know,
normally when this happens, you just pretend like the person
didn't exist, you know, it's they just disappeared. You hear
somebody for twenty years and then they're gone and you
don't mention it and you just pretend it didn't happen.
So that's obviously not the case as far as I know.
I'm still here, so the show will will continue.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Uh, Lorena is here.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
We've got Coop and we'll we'll press on. It's not
gonna be the same, but we will continue on doing
the show and hopefully you'll listen still, you'll enjoy the show,
and you'll still be our part of our family here
and you know, well we'll keep you updated. I'm I'm
sure i'll pop Eddie on my podcast sometime between. I
can't pay, I'm I don't have a budget for that,
(20:02):
but we'll put him on there and so we'll make do.
But that's the news I wanted to share with you,
and I know, Coop and Loray, if you guys want
to add anything that I might have missed here, you
are more than welcome to chime in if you are
so inclined.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
If not, I totally get it. I don't care. I'm
leaving goodbye. That's what he said.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Eddie told me that and hung up the phone. I
then called him Altuve and that was Coop. I see
you raising your hand, Cooper. You didn't actually raise your hand,
you just turned your mic on, which is a sign
that you have something that you want to say.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Coople, Yeah, you know.
Speaker 6 (20:40):
I mean it's just it's it's a bummer. And you know,
we've we've had this happen. I mean since I've been
here twelve years now, and I've I think I've been
through one other round of of layoffs. And back then,
it wasn't nobody that I was like, you know, he
(21:00):
didn't know, so it didn't hurt you. You didn't care
about them, not that I didn't know them, but like
I didn't you know, it wasn't somebody from my you know,
the shows that I worked on, like the Looney was
the closest person to me that that that had happened
last time. But you know, I've you know, I've been
doing this.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Show now like a while. Yeah, probably like almost ten years.
Speaker 6 (21:20):
So you know, it's it's somebody you see every day,
and it's it's a it's a bummer. But I know,
I hope that future mallor meetups that Eddie will still
still attend.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
We might have to pay for his, guess, but I
think if he's it's within reasonable driving distance.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
I think, you know, it's o cal.
Speaker 6 (21:40):
I think we can get Eddie's and you know, we
talked about maybe making the Vegas thing a yearly.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Thing, and that's that's a you know, quick.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Yeah, we get Eddie go to Vegas. You know, we'll
drug him, we'll take him well, you know, force him
to show up and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
You know. And Eddie, he was my foil. I had
to put him in.
Speaker 5 (21:59):
You know.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
He said he kept me in line, but I kept
him in line. I said, I believe I kept him in.
But they anyway, Lorraine, Lorraine, is that you're new to radio, right,
you haven't been in the business that long, right, correct, Lorrain,
and you had some other jobs here is very emotional.
I know, I know, I know.
Speaker 7 (22:19):
I thought we were indestructible. I thought I was like,
there's no way they're touching our show.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Well, and here's the thing, an update anchor.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
I know, I know, And this is the thing that
that's very difficult for a lot of people to understand.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
The show is doing very well.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
We have tremendous the audience has grown, the downloads have
been amazing. It Uh, it's not based on that. There's
other variables that you know, I'm not involved in. Even
my bosses, the people you know, Scott and Don who's
here and whatnot, who I've chatted with. I mean, this
is outside of their control. So I mean they're and
they're to me, they're like the big corporate mukeety munks.
(22:54):
You know, they're the big corporate guys, but even above them.
So you know, a lot of makes no sense, but
it's you know, welcome to our industry. Unfortunately, hopefully things
will get better, and I think they will. I'm optimistic.
I'm usually very negative, but I'm optimistic that things will
get better. And that's also the fact that I don't
want to throw this out because it might never happen.
But the company whacked me in nine January twentieth of nine,
(23:21):
and I got a couple of tryouts at other stations
around the country and I did some fill in work
and then they called me back. And as crazy as
this sounds, it's not out of the realm of possibility
that sometime down the line, maybe soon maybe you know,
usually they have to wait till next year, and we're
(23:42):
we're already in November.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
I mean, it's.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Conceivable that these decisions, they'll realize that maybe we shouldn't
have done something that we did and nuts and then
if Eddie, Eddie returns, boy, I'd be all for it.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
I'd be be all for it. But we'll, you know,
survive where we're at right now. And I had an idea, Ben, Yes,
the Lorraina Lorena has an idea.
Speaker 7 (24:04):
We could put the headshots of Eddie in the windows.
It looks like he's sitting there.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Well, yes, I know, I know this was not intentional
at the top of the hour, but in many ways
very fitting.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
What happened at the top of the hour Coop is yeah, well,
Coop did turn out the lights in the Eddie studio.
So there you did.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
That's a ceremonial thing, Coop. I saw you walk all
the way over there. You turned the lights off.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
I left the one spotlight on the chair.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
You did, yes, which is a reminder as a tribute.
And again, listen, it's not fair tough to talk about
these things, and we're trying to have a good time
with this. I mean, I love Eddie. Like I said,
Eddie's like my brother. I talked to him more than
my wife. I've talked to him four hours a day
for ten years plashy well, twenty years. But we didn't
(24:50):
always work together, believe it or not, so I know
a lot about it. He knows a lot about me.
We've talked, we've hung out off the air a few times.
Usually we just see each other here and don't talk
much off the hear and I guess, well, as I said,
we'll have to do that. But thanks to Eddie for
all his contributions here, and thanks to.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
All the other people.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
I thank everyone that is no longer here, including someone
that you heard on the show, Brian Finley, who I
busted his balls all the time. And Brian's a young
guy all right, daddy. Yes, Brian. I spoke to Brian
on the phone, and Brian's doing well. He's got a
(25:28):
lot of play by play gigs, tennis play by play
and whatnot, and so you know, hopefully that'll take off
for him.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
And he's been doing that a lot.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Anyway, So that's where we are, and well, you know,
we'll press on, and we wanted to share that with you.
And I do thank the company because that would have
been very awkward. That would have been tremendously odd for us.
And they knew that. I mean, and I give them
credit and they knew it. It's not the norm in
(25:58):
our business.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
I know.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
When they got rid of me, they just erased everything
and that's it. But but no, I'm kidding, but no,
actually I'm not. But but anyway, we we press on here.
It is the Ban Malord Show. Now if you're trying
to find a silver lining, because we don't have Eddy anymore,
we don't have a bottom of the hour update anymore.
So that we don't know, we don't, No, we don't.
(26:22):
So that means we have more opportunity to provide you
with marginal conversation.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
You and I just marginal conversation. Yeah, all right, I.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Do have a fun fact with does anyone want nobody
wants a fun I will I will have a fun fact.
Fun fact, all right, fun fact. So the Monday night game,
the Rams go down. The Rams are the only NFL
team in the Super Bowl era to attempt a field
goal on each of their last six drives in a
game that was down by more than three points entering
(26:59):
each one. All right, so let me explain that again
in English. I think I spoke pig Latin. So the
Rams are the only NFL team in the Super Bowl
era to attempt a field goal on each of the
last six drives in a game, despite being down by
more than three entering each one of those drives.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
So they kept kicking field goals.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
You get a field goal attempt, you get a field
goal attempt. And that's that's how that went. Yes, that
is that is how that went down. There, you go,
all right, anyway, let's see we have well people sending
some nice messages there to Eddie. Doug Douglas been listening
for ten years. He is heartbroken, he says, and we
(27:42):
are too.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Maybe we're not.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
I think we're letting you know that we're trying to
smile or heartbroken. We're trying to do that.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Yeah, Big Greg and Iowa who I met at the
Mala meet and greet we did at the Mermaid there
in Minnesota. And he says that we need to kidnap
Eddie and force him to attend the meet and greet.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Yeah there you go. All right, let's see who do
we have here. You can't read that on the air.
Uh that I realized I probably shouldn't read any of these,
probably should.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Avoid a lot of them. But it's good to know
that Eddie touched your life and he's still alive. You know,
he's not you know, this is not a funeral.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Eddie's very much alive and he will continue with this
podcast and what now. Hey, by the way, rapid radios

Dakota Southern Canada though? Really when you think about it, right, yeah,
do they have moose? There's hardy people in North Dakota,
but it's not. There's not a lot there. And now,
who is it? South Dakota's got even less people, right,
I think?
Speaker 3 (29:50):
So?
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Am I right on that?
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (29:52):

Speaker 2 (30:34):
All right, Well we'll take some calls if you want
eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven
nine nine six six three sixty nine, if you would
like to be part of the show. I did see
Drew Brees on television. That had to be on audition, right.
He was auditioning for the Monday night coverage. I would
(30:54):
assume after he failed over at NBC's ESPN gave him
a shot. I would assume that's what that was. I
don't know why Elsie would randomly pop up on a
ram Dolphin game other than hey, I'm here and I'm
trying out for a full time job. Also, I saw
(31:17):
the death of John Robinson, who you might not know
who he is if you're of a certain age like
under I don't know the age of thirty or something
like that. But John Robinson was the coach of the
Rams when I was a kid USC and I have
a great John Robinson's story. When I was a kid,
well not that young, but John Robinson was goof down
(31:39):
shall we say it was goofed on by. There was
a talk show was named Joe McDonald was a friend
of mine. He became a friend, but at this point
he was just I listened to him Big Joe McDonald,
Big La talk shows literally and figured to the big
La touches. So Joe had found out that John Robinson,
he called him robo coach. He was at a restaurant
which is near my house, and he wanted a listener
(31:59):
to go down and the like, you know, see if
he was actually there, like what he was eating and uh.
And I went down to this this restaurant and spied
on John Robinson, like in the restaurant and I called
back with the report and that was my first reply,
I wasn't on the payroll there. I called. I called
on what he was having there? He was having if I remember,
it was some breakfast. It was like a breakfast meal
(32:20):
as I was a long time ago. But Robinson passing
away age eighty nine, two terms as coach of the
USC Trojans and coach of the Rams, and they talked
him a little bit of the money n I gave.
But he was childhood friends with John Madden growing up
in northern California. John Robinson John Madden both went on
to have a very fruitful careers in the National Football League.
(32:44):

A star running back in the NFL who has been
tackled at the one or two yard line ten different
times this season, as the most in the league. Who
am I? That is the question? What's the answer?
Speaker 1 (34:14):
Willie?
Speaker 2 (34:15):
The mess says Don knots is the answer? Tightened up?
Says Derrick Henry. I'm clearly not cheating, says tighten up.
Who else do we have? Barney Rubble guess of our
friend Kathy in Madison. Chuck Munsey from Kirby. That's his
answer Late Night Drug tester says, you're Anne Hathaway.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Who is forty two today? Who knew Brooke Jacoby.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
From Mister Nice Guy, a legendary figure if you collected
baseball cards in the nineteen eighties.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Who else do you have? Page Dan, I can't read
that one.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
Ferg Dog says Brian Finley, the nicest person you'll ever meet.
He says, very nice. Well for Dog said that, Frog
said that. Andy says, the answer is General Booty. Good
luck there you go to Ediot's Andy from Line.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
O' lakes where at I guess not there? I think
they are, but apparently not.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
And I did do one high school football TV broadcast
years ago and General Booty was the quarterback, So I
did call one.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Of his games in high school.
Speaker 7 (35:22):
That's a real person.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
That is a real person, General Booty.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Yeah, it's either your play football or you become a
porn star with with that kind of name. And he
decided to play football. Who else do we have? Paige
Dwan Malaprop guy says, Adie, A lot of you did.
DeAndre Swift from Eke in Roseville, Minnesota. Alf the Alien
ol Pliner says Tommy Lasagna. Tommy Lesorda is the answer,
(35:46):
who else do we have? Page down? Paul Behrer from
Rob in Vegas, a wrestling legend was page down. Jay

you have?
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Page Dan?
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Can't read that one on the air? All right, Lrainer,
do you have an answer? Rated to the again the
who am I?
Speaker 1 (36:21):
Game?
Speaker 3 (36:22):
Now?
Speaker 2 (36:22):
This is where I pretend to be somebody else and
then you can't get it right. I am a star
running back in the NFL who has been tackled at
the one or two yard line ten different times this season,
most in the league.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
Who am I?
Speaker 7 (36:35):
I thought you gave me a clue with the star
running back?
Speaker 2 (36:38):
Yes, right, yeah, so I think there's nobody that knows
running backs more than the rain.
Speaker 7 (36:42):
Yeah. So my best guess here is going to be
Patrick Starr.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
It's a wonderful answer, and really on point wondering, is
that is that the correct answer? Let's say that is no,
that is not the that is not the correct answer.
The correct answer is Philadelphia a running back. So Kwan
bar Love the Eagles leads the NFL in being tackled
(37:07):
at the one or two yard line this season, which
is perfect when you consider the fact the Eagles have
the ultimate cheat code, the Tushy Pushy, And when you
have the tush Pushy, you don't mind being tackled the
one or two yard line because you guaranteed to score
a touchdown. Let's go to the phones and we'll say
all loa to Jeff, who is in Denver. Hello, Jeff, welcome,
it's up.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
Jeff.
Speaker 5 (37:28):
Hey, hey man, not part of the militia, as I
don't know why. I've never done the thing. It's kind
of a tongue twister. I've been able to do it
off the air, but I can see why people struggle
on the air.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
Yeah, but I.
Speaker 5 (37:40):
Think I suggest that the militia starts a petition to
get Eddie back. Petitions work, Bring Eddie back.
Speaker 3 (37:48):
Bring Eddie back.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
Listen.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
I love Eddie. I love Eddie to be back, and
it might happen. You know, it's conceivable of what happened.
I can't guarantee anything, obviously, I don't. That's not my department.
So but I'd love to see Eddie back.
Speaker 5 (37:59):
So could we do a petition could.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
The Well consider, let's just look at this from my perspective.
I work at the company, so I can't you can
do whatever you want. I don't you know you're you're
an individual. I work here, so you you would have
to be behind that. But I support I love Eddie
and uh and I'm gonna help him as much as
I can.
Speaker 5 (38:18):
All right, Jeff, do I do I have to become
a member of the militia to start the petition?
Speaker 6 (38:23):
Well?
Speaker 2 (38:23):
No, I mean if you don't want to be part
of them, if you don't want to be sworn in,
you don't have to be, you know, part of it
if you don't want.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
To, right, but you could sell you do it right now?
You want you want to do the oath? Right?
Speaker 6 (38:34):
No?
Speaker 1 (38:34):
No, no, we have time to do the oath right now?
We have time.
Speaker 7 (38:37):
What if we did like a hyper speed version and
if he can do it.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
Then he's well Lorraina, do you understand the pathway to
the oath even exactly? See this guy knows Jeff is
aware practicing.
Speaker 7 (38:50):
That's impressive.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
All right, how about you list Jeff hold on and
then if we we have time next hour, we'll have
you do the oath. We only do it once a show,
so you would you do that? And then you'd have
to figure out whatever your master plan is. That's your world.
I have I'm not endorsing or.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
What's the line, I'm not endorsing or whatever, blah blah blah,
right right, yeah, I'm not. I have nothing.
Speaker 7 (39:11):
Nothing can't come after ben.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
Yeah, it's my hands are clean. I actually just washed them,
wash them with sanitizer.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
No, no handstand. I used the soap I like. I
like to say, we have a pretty good soap here,
pretty good soap. We do solid soap. That's good soap.
But the paper towels are not. Yeah, and these I
forgot my I have a mug guy always a blue
thing that I put water in, and I forgot it.
So I have to use those styrofoam cups. That's not good,
those Styverfolme cups.
Speaker 7 (39:38):
Do you ever chew on the side of those?
Speaker 2 (39:39):
I have in the past, But that was a child
when I did that. Does in a grown up? I
don't think I've done that. But I don't like I
like the paper cup pearl paper like I don't know.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
The styrofoam just feels weird in your hand. You know,
your FT's around with the styrofoam that doesn't feel right,
doesn't hold enough water either.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
Yeah, there's small cups and so then I have to
walk like you see me, walk back and forth because
I need more water. I'm a big water drink. And
if they spill, there's water in the air everywhere. It's
a big mess.
Here we go. Welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our number one, our one of the original recipe podcast,
The Ben Mahlord Show, and a tough hour, tough day
and hour one, but it's all about Monday Night football.
To start mallard monologue about the Dolphins and the Rams.
Who's to blame for the rams pathetic performance on Monday
(00:22):
Night Football? Also, what is the Malard scale of concern
for the Sean McVay Rams and making the playoffs after
they lose at home to a bad Miami team? But
what does this win do?
Speaker 3 (00:34):
For two?
Speaker 2 (00:34):
A tongue of a loa and the Dolphins will talk
about all that. Also a big announcement if you're a
regular listener, which you are, you're downloading the podcast about
the The Ben Maler Show, and a friend of our
show in the in the middle of this the B
block as we like to call it. So we'll get
that and more right now here. It is our number one.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
A dolphin delight if you will well come in the
beginning of another edition of The Benmahlors Show.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
We are in the air everywhares we attempt to make
a connection and I want you to know we do
dominate on that dance floor.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Unless we don't coast to coast, border the.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Border and beyond on the mast and prodigiously powerful microphones
of fsr M monating live from the down the touchdown
in the back of the end zone, something the RAMS
did not accomplish. We're broadcasting live from the tier rackt
dot com studios tyract dot com. We'll help you get
(01:42):
there and unmatched selection, mass free shipping, free road hazard
protection and over ten thousand recommended in stars tyraq dot
com the way tirebind should be.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
So gonna start with the Moneay night game.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
There's a big announcement I will give you, guys in
a few minutes, but I'm going to start with the
football game. Will work our way to that. But you
want to keep listening, well you should listen anyway. But
I know some of you knuckleheads too now. But a big,
big news, grown up news that we have to share
with you coming up in a little bit better lead
this hour from the hood in Inglewood. As our friend
(02:19):
in that region, helmet Man likes to say Sofa Stadium,
It's actually called Sofi Stadium. That was the scene of
the final act on the Week ten NFL card, The
Fox Refugees Troy Aikman and Joe Buck had to call
the floundering tour Tongue of iy lo and the Dolphins
swimming into trying to stop the madness here. They'd lost
(02:42):
a bunch, hadn't won in a while, and they had
a date with Matthew Stafford on the Rams. That was
the match up there. And if you saw it or not,
you're watching, did this get you a little little turned out?
Speaker 1 (02:52):
No? Did not?
Speaker 2 (02:52):
All right, Well, we watched so you would not have to.
Tyreek Hill, who had been missing. Tyreek Hill caught a
short touchdown pass from Tua Tongue of i loa in
the third quarter and that held up and it ended
that long drought, in fact, the longest scoring drought of
his career. And the Dolphins not a great defensive team,
(03:14):
not recently anyway. The Dolphins limiting LA to field goals,
keeping them out of the end zone, did not even
get in the end zone the Rams.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
That's pathetic.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
And the Dolphins snap a three game losing streak, just
their second win in eight games.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
So the Miami football team.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
The better story, though, is in the losing locker room,
So that is where we will focus here. And who's
to blame. Who's to blame for the rams pathetic performance
on Monday Night football?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
We play the blame game. I've got K.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Nine, hoverboard and treasure map, and we will combine all
of those things together and we are going to make barbecue.
And I spent the weekend in Kansas City. I met
some of you, you know who you are, and I
had a great time and I had some amazing barbecue,
which is good and bad. It's good because I enjoyed it.
(04:10):
It's bad because I can't get that where I live,
So I'm screwed, you understand.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
All right?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Anyway, my first thought here when you talk about the
matchup on Monday Night Football, the LA defense.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Actually played well like.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
The Rams were terrible defensively early year, So you can't
blame the La Rams defense. They held Miami to two
hundred and thirty eight yards of offense and two I
got off to a fast start and then after that
was with shake. Now maybe it was my TV, but
that's how I saw the game. So we'll start with
the eye of the storm for the Rams, who turned
(04:47):
out couldn't ram it all night, not in the end zone.
It falls on the shoulders of Matthew Stafford. In this game,
the Rams offense when it got timed for paydirt stonewalled
LA failed to score a touchdown on offense. So how
rare is that Sean McVay has been coaching for a
while with the Rams now and that's only the eighth
(05:07):
time in Sean mcvay's career the Rams have failed to
score an offensive touchdown. And since Matthew Stafford came over
from the Motor City Kiddies, the Rams always score at
least one touchdown and this is only a second time
with Stafford in four years that they have not gotten into.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
The end zone.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
And it was it was so bad that Stafford needed
a canine. He needed to borrow Blind Scott's service dog.
He needed a need some help there, definitely needed some help.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
For sure. It was bad.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
I mean the whole he was missed. There were a
couple of plays where he missed receivers that were there.
He could have scored touchdowns, could have should have and
all that. Well, here's Matthew Stafford pointing out what could
have happened but didn't happen.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Similar game plans going into it. It feels like when you
when you go back and play in your head.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
But you know he did a better job of execute
and come away with some touchdowns, which.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Is another one. That's what I'm saying. I sucked. I sucked.
That's what he could have said, but he didn't say that.
He did not say it.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
So he needs a need some help on that and
not just the missed plays the touchdowns that were left
on the field. Stafford was sacked by four times sacked,
but it seemed like more than that watching it seemed
like it was more than four. Not Caleb Williams bad.
He didn't didn't sense the pass rush, which is kind
(06:31):
of important. I didn't play quarterback. This is kind of important,
and was serving up just sloppy. Joe's or in this
clase is sloppy. Stafford's all over the field and a
bad job by him and Stafford. If you looked at
the box squers way, I had two hundred ninety three yards,
that's not that bad, but forty six attempts averaging six
(06:52):
point four yards for a tamp seven's average, so he
was below average on that and a lot of that
coming late. The dolphin is able to let the rams
go down a little bit down the field, and just kick.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Field goals and that was it. That was all.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
And over the last month, give me this Dolphin defense
the last month ranked eighteenth in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Is that good?
Speaker 2 (07:15):
There's thirty two teams. I don't think that's good. Do
you think that's good? I don't think that's good. And
over the last three weeks just one sack and they
had four sacks against Matthew Stafford and whatnot. So they
played above what they were supposed to play. The Rams
played below what they were supposed to play, and that's
how you get the result that you get. Now, page two,
What is the Mallord scale of concern? The Malor scale
(07:37):
of concern for Sean mcvay's Rams making the playoffs playoffs
after this loss knocks on them back under the even
water mark on the season. So the Malor scale of concern,
which is never wrong. Okay, you've listening with them. Mallard
scale of concern is never wrong. One to ten, with
ten being getting ready for the scouting combine and the
(08:00):
the NFL Draft in those pro days. One to ten,
I'm at a seven, a seven point zero on the
Mallard scale, concerner, this is a game the Rams should have,
could have, would have won.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
They didn't.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
They fetched it away, they didn't play well. Miami, they
blow and yet you lost the game at home East
Coast team coming west. All of that, however, for the Rams,
they continue despite this loss on the hoverboard of mediocrity.
They're hovering around mediocrity. You don't have to be that
(08:32):
good to make the playoffs. Now, it's a little different
in the NFC than it is in the AFC. However,
the Rams now sit at four and five on the season,
so they're one game under five hundred, and they still
have by my count, not one, not two, not three,
not four, but five games that I have as the
fifty to fifty raffle meaning could go either way.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Should win summer on the road.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
You'll be an underdog in those games, likely by but
they're toss up games, fifty to fifty raffle games. So
of those, if you win those and you're not gonna
win all the meal four and one, that gets you
to eight wins and then you have to pull one
upset along the way. The NFC West, though, is wide open,
wide open. So to rephrase this for those of your
(09:18):
little slow if you pull a couple of upsets your
back where you need to be in terms of the plus.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
But the great quote.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
By Henry Ford, kind of an important person in American history.
Henry Ford said, whether you think you can or you can't,
either way you're right. So whether you think the Rams
can make the playoffs or can't, either way you're correct.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
All right. Now, last word here the winning locker room.
That is where we would go.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
So what does this victory for the Tua Tongue of
Iloa Dolphins. What does this win do for that Dolphin team?
Because I don't like that good. Do you think they're good?
I don't think they're good. I watched the game embarrassed
for the Rams. It was emasculating. But what upsetting the
Rams does from thirty thousand feet It's like the quote
(10:06):
from Jesse Jackson back in the day, they gotta keep
hope alive.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Got to keep hope alive. It keeps hope alive, is
what it does. It keeps hope alive. If you look
at the treasure map, it's a little different. Like the
Rams pretty much have to win the NFC West that's
most realistic to make the playoffs. It's not that for
the Dolphins. The Dolphins aren't gonna win the division. Buffalo
is gonna win the division by a million games. So
instead it's.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
About getting that last wild card, and this opens up
a portal to another dimension called the postseason. The Dolphins
are three and six on what planet in the cosmos?
Is three and six good? Not this one? Maybe the
one you live on, but not this one. They're bad
to the bone, bad to them. However, you still have
(10:49):
a lot of those cupcake games, a lot of those
cream pie games. See a lot of those, and five games,
five games with tomato cans.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Okay, So if you'll win those all of them, that
gets you to eight wins. Now eight wins, say, well,
you're still under five one hundred and eight and nine.
That ain't ain't good. If you look around.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
At the very bottom of the AFC standings, the last
team in barring some kind of super nova over the
last part of the NFL season, you're looking at a
team right around eight or nine wins getting in maybe
even less than that if you look at how bad
those teams at the bottom. So you mix all of
that together and you let that settle, and then you
(11:34):
put that in the fridge, let it cool. A little bit,
then you put in the oven, so they're they're right
in the middle of the maze. Even at three and six.
Three in six, you're right in the middle of the maze,
bottom of the AFC. The issue is they deserve to
be three and six. It's not like it's a misleading
three and six, it's not a confusing three and six.
It's not perplexing at all. You're three and six.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
You suck. You deserve to suck.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
And every one of those games that Dolphins are going
into thinking, hey, you know, we don't We really don't
think we're gonna lose that game. Those other teams playing
the Dolphins are like, oh, we can't lose to the Dolphins.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
The Rams didn't think they were gonna lose the Dolph.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Why would you lose the Dolphin? Who lose to the Dolphins.
Dan Marino's not walking through that door to play anyway.
It is the Ben Mallor Show. If you would like
to be part, you can join us, and I'm not
gonna take any calls right now. Some other stuff we
need to get to and we will get to that.
But you can hit me up on the X machine
at Ben Mallor that is at Ben Mahllor. I'm gonna
(12:34):
have an emergency Mallor meeting and on air Mallard meeting.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
How rare it.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Is that we do an on air Mallar meeting. But
I need to address something. So I need to talk
to you and we need to chat. And so we're
gonna chat, and whether you like it or not, we're
gonna have a conversation. It won't be a long conversation.
I don't like long conversations. It will be a very
short conversation. But we're gonna talk. And there's some things
that I need to say, and there's some things that
you need to hear, whether you like it or not.
(13:00):
So we're gonna do that, and we'll do it, and
we'll do it next.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
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 1 (13:13):
It is the Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
As we slide into a Tuesday, still late on a
Monday on the West Coast, I'm trying to talk over
a vocal, trying to do dedication, and I'm darking over
a vocal. So we started with the Monday night football game,
the Rams and the Dolphins, and my mind was elsewhere.
(13:38):
My mind was elsewhere. I watched the game. I was
like in zombie mode watching the game, watching the game here.
So we need to call a emergency, Malord meeting here
on the air. And this is something I don't want
to talk about. I didn't think what happen, but it
has happened, and so I wanted to share with you
(13:58):
as a friend of the show and someone it's part
of our all right, no please, I'm no, all right, anyway,
I don't need No, that's not gonna help. It's not
gonna help. So we've had good days and bad days
here on this show. As you know, you're with us,
you're part of our family. I was able to meet
(14:18):
some of you. We had a great turnout in Kansas City.
I was feeling, you know, on top of the world.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
There.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
I thought, boy, you know, everything's great, wonderful. It could
not have been better. It was just a perfect weekend
in Kansas City at an amazing time.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
So I came back. I took an early flight.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
And I was sleeping during the day because I didn't sleep,
I was up and crack of dawn before that. In fact,
so tough day at the office. But let me get
to the point here. I want to share some news
with you guys. And I don't think this is out
in the public yet. The parent company here that we
work for, iHeart Media, has made a number of roster
(14:56):
moves and happened over the last week or so. Some
of it got mentioned on the internet and media reports
about what had happened. Well, Fox Sports Radio is run
by iHeart and they did make some changes here, and
a number of them happened at our office here on
(15:18):
Monday while I was flying and sleeping and all that.
This is obviously not my department. Other people have to
deal with that. It is often cruel. I have been
in that position before. I will probably be in that
position again. That's just the way the business works. It
just happens. And a number of people here at Fox
(15:41):
Sports Radio were let go. These are our friends, These
are the people that are part of our lives here
that we have spent a lot of time with over
the years. One in particular that I need to share
with you is my good friend and our colleague. I've
worked with this guy for twenty years. Eddie Garcia, the
great Eddie Garcia has been let go by the company
and he is no longer employed. He will not hear
(16:03):
Eddie on our show or the Morning show with Jonas,
and nothing to do with Eddie's work. It's not performance
real late or anything like that, you know, as much
as I wish it was because of the cheating at
the game shows.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I'm kidding. No, I know Eddie, I know.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Who's gonna tell me to shut up. I have free
rain now, I can do whatever I want. But no,
I am very upset. It's I talked to Eddie. I
spoke with him on the phone for a little bit
in the late afternoon. Once I found out, I gave
him a call. We talked, We're gonna get together, have
have a meal here at some point in the next
couple of weeks.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
And all that.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Eddie was in relatively good spirits considering that he had
been here for twenty three years.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
And it's not your normal relationship.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
I mean, obviously, you guys, I know from meeting a
number of you this weekend in Kansas City, and Eddie's name,
and you know Coop and Lorraine obviously, but Eddie was
a big part of the conversation.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
One guy.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
One of the guys showed up up in a Penguin's
jersey on talk hockey and.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Now put my stick right in your mouth.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Yeah, well exactly so. So I obviously Eddie was able
to connect with you a lot. You know, I'm I'm
pretty much a goofball. I admit that I like to
goof around. I like to you know, Eddie's Eddie's a
straight man. Eddie's a serious guy. You know, he doesn't
like the goof around as much as I do, and
as much as we busted each other's chops over the
(17:25):
years here, in many ways, as an adult, I grew
up with Eddie. I've worked here since my mid.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Twenties, and you know, Eddie is a little older than
I am.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
But we've been side by side, off and on for
twenty three years. I mean, we've seen tremendous things happen
to both our marriages. Eddie and I were single guys
when we started here.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Both married. Now we've seen tragedies. Our parents died.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
I went to you know, funeral, He went to my
parents funeral back in the day, my mom and I
was his dad's funeral. And so we've we've been together
right We've been there through great triumphs and tragedies in
life as anyone at work. And you know, one of
the things about radio we love. Roberto left. He didn't
get let oh, he just left to become a bus driver.
And I don't see Verbert. I talk to him. I
(18:12):
hope to keep in contact with Eddie and whatnot. And
he did say he's planning on coming to the Ugly
Sweater party, which is cool. So I'll get to see
Eddie there for sure. And I do want you to
listen to his podcast. You know, I ripped his podcast
all the time, but I really want you to listen
to it now. I really do Puck the Puck Podcast
with Eddie, and he loves hockey. It's his passion and
(18:34):
he does a tremendous.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Job with that.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
So you give that a list and support Eddie. He
can also email me. He's obviously he's on social media.
I don't know if he's posted anything, probably not yet.
He's trying to figure out what to put on there.
But you can email. If you're not a social media person,
I will some of you. You Yahoo's avoid social media,
and I get it. You're probably living a better life
than I am. If you want to email Eddie though,
(18:59):
try to remember the shot this down, download the podcast.
It's Eddie on Fox at gmail dot com. That's Eddie
on Fox at gmail dot com. That's Eddie's personal email address.
You can send him a message obviously, let him know
and find out. And you know, I want to thank
(19:19):
Scott some of the people at the company here. You know,
normally when this happens, you just pretend like the person
didn't exist, you know, it's they just disappeared. You hear
somebody for twenty years and then they're gone and you
don't mention it and you just pretend it didn't happen.
So that's obviously not the case as far as I know.
I'm still here, so the show will will continue.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Uh, Lorena is here.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
We've got Coop and we'll we'll press on. It's not
gonna be the same, but we will continue on doing
the show and hopefully you'll listen still, you'll enjoy the show,
and you'll still be our part of our family here
and you know, well we'll keep you updated. I'm I'm
sure i'll pop Eddie on my podcast sometime between. I
can't pay, I'm I don't have a budget for that,
(20:02):
but we'll put him on there and so we'll make do.
But that's the news I wanted to share with you,
and I know, Coop and Loray, if you guys want
to add anything that I might have missed here, you
are more than welcome to chime in if you are
so inclined.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
If not, I totally get it. I don't care. I'm
leaving goodbye. That's what he said.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Eddie told me that and hung up the phone. I
then called him Altuve and that was Coop. I see
you raising your hand, Cooper. You didn't actually raise your hand,
you just turned your mic on, which is a sign
that you have something that you want to say.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Coople, Yeah, you know.
Speaker 6 (20:40):
I mean it's just it's it's a bummer. And you know,
we've we've had this happen. I mean since I've been
here twelve years now, and I've I think I've been
through one other round of of layoffs. And back then,
it wasn't nobody that I was like, you know, he
(21:00):
didn't know, so it didn't hurt you. You didn't care
about them, not that I didn't know them, but like
I didn't you know, it wasn't somebody from my you know,
the shows that I worked on, like the Looney was
the closest person to me that that that had happened
last time. But you know, I've you know, I've been
doing this.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Show now like a while. Yeah, probably like almost ten years.
Speaker 6 (21:20):
So you know, it's it's somebody you see every day,
and it's it's a it's a bummer. But I know,
I hope that future mallor meetups that Eddie will still
still attend.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
We might have to pay for his, guess, but I
think if he's it's within reasonable driving distance.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
I think, you know, it's o cal.
Speaker 6 (21:40):
I think we can get Eddie's and you know, we
talked about maybe making the Vegas thing a yearly.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Thing, and that's that's a you know, quick.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Yeah, we get Eddie go to Vegas. You know, we'll
drug him, we'll take him well, you know, force him
to show up and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
You know. And Eddie, he was my foil. I had
to put him in.
Speaker 5 (21:59):
You know.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
He said he kept me in line, but I kept
him in line. I said, I believe I kept him in.
But they anyway, Lorraine, Lorraine, is that you're new to radio, right,
you haven't been in the business that long, right, correct, Lorrain,
and you had some other jobs here is very emotional.
I know, I know, I know.
Speaker 7 (22:19):
I thought we were indestructible. I thought I was like,
there's no way they're touching our show.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Well, and here's the thing, an update anchor.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
I know, I know, And this is the thing that
that's very difficult for a lot of people to understand.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
The show is doing very well.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
We have tremendous the audience has grown, the downloads have
been amazing. It Uh, it's not based on that. There's
other variables that you know, I'm not involved in. Even
my bosses, the people you know, Scott and Don who's
here and whatnot, who I've chatted with. I mean, this
is outside of their control. So I mean they're and
they're to me, they're like the big corporate mukeety munks.
(22:54):
You know, they're the big corporate guys, but even above them.
So you know, a lot of makes no sense, but
it's you know, welcome to our industry. Unfortunately, hopefully things
will get better, and I think they will. I'm optimistic.
I'm usually very negative, but I'm optimistic that things will
get better. And that's also the fact that I don't
want to throw this out because it might never happen.
But the company whacked me in nine January twentieth of nine,
(23:21):
and I got a couple of tryouts at other stations
around the country and I did some fill in work
and then they called me back. And as crazy as
this sounds, it's not out of the realm of possibility
that sometime down the line, maybe soon maybe you know,
usually they have to wait till next year, and we're
(23:42):
we're already in November.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
I mean, it's.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Conceivable that these decisions, they'll realize that maybe we shouldn't
have done something that we did and nuts and then
if Eddie, Eddie returns, boy, I'd be all for it.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
I'd be be all for it. But we'll, you know,
survive where we're at right now. And I had an idea, Ben, Yes,
the Lorraina Lorena has an idea.
Speaker 7 (24:04):
We could put the headshots of Eddie in the windows.
It looks like he's sitting there.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Well, yes, I know, I know this was not intentional
at the top of the hour, but in many ways
very fitting.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
What happened at the top of the hour Coop is yeah, well,
Coop did turn out the lights in the Eddie studio.
So there you did.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
That's a ceremonial thing, Coop. I saw you walk all
the way over there. You turned the lights off.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
I left the one spotlight on the chair.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
You did, yes, which is a reminder as a tribute.
And again, listen, it's not fair tough to talk about
these things, and we're trying to have a good time
with this. I mean, I love Eddie. Like I said,
Eddie's like my brother. I talked to him more than
my wife. I've talked to him four hours a day
for ten years plashy well, twenty years. But we didn't
(24:50):
always work together, believe it or not, so I know
a lot about it. He knows a lot about me.
We've talked, we've hung out off the air a few times.
Usually we just see each other here and don't talk
much off the hear and I guess, well, as I said,
we'll have to do that. But thanks to Eddie for
all his contributions here, and thanks to.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
All the other people.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
I thank everyone that is no longer here, including someone
that you heard on the show, Brian Finley, who I
busted his balls all the time. And Brian's a young
guy all right, daddy. Yes, Brian. I spoke to Brian
on the phone, and Brian's doing well. He's got a
(25:28):
lot of play by play gigs, tennis play by play
and whatnot, and so you know, hopefully that'll take off
for him.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
And he's been doing that a lot.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Anyway, So that's where we are, and well, you know,
we'll press on, and we wanted to share that with you.
And I do thank the company because that would have
been very awkward. That would have been tremendously odd for us.
And they knew that. I mean, and I give them
credit and they knew it. It's not the norm in
(25:58):
our business.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
I know.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
When they got rid of me, they just erased everything
and that's it. But but no, I'm kidding, but no,
actually I'm not. But but anyway, we we press on here.
It is the Ban Malord Show. Now if you're trying
to find a silver lining, because we don't have Eddy anymore,
we don't have a bottom of the hour update anymore.
So that we don't know, we don't, No, we don't.
(26:22):
So that means we have more opportunity to provide you
with marginal conversation.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
You and I just marginal conversation. Yeah, all right, I.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Do have a fun fact with does anyone want nobody
wants a fun I will I will have a fun fact.
Fun fact, all right, fun fact. So the Monday night game,
the Rams go down. The Rams are the only NFL
team in the Super Bowl era to attempt a field
goal on each of their last six drives in a
game that was down by more than three points entering
(26:59):
each one. All right, so let me explain that again
in English. I think I spoke pig Latin. So the
Rams are the only NFL team in the Super Bowl
era to attempt a field goal on each of the
last six drives in a game, despite being down by
more than three entering each one of those drives.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
So they kept kicking field goals.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
You get a field goal attempt, you get a field
goal attempt. And that's that's how that went. Yes, that
is that is how that went down. There, you go,
all right, anyway, let's see we have well people sending
some nice messages there to Eddie. Doug Douglas been listening
for ten years. He is heartbroken, he says, and we
(27:42):
are too.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Maybe we're not.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
I think we're letting you know that we're trying to
smile or heartbroken. We're trying to do that.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Yeah, Big Greg and Iowa who I met at the
Mala meet and greet we did at the Mermaid there
in Minnesota. And he says that we need to kidnap
Eddie and force him to attend the meet and greet.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Yeah there you go. All right, let's see who do
we have here. You can't read that on the air.
Uh that I realized I probably shouldn't read any of these,
probably should.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Avoid a lot of them. But it's good to know
that Eddie touched your life and he's still alive. You know,
he's not you know, this is not a funeral.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Eddie's very much alive and he will continue with this
podcast and what now. Hey, by the way, rapid radios

Speaker 1 (29:34):

Drew Brees on television. That had to be on audition, right.
He was auditioning for the Monday night coverage. I would
(30:54):
assume after he failed over at NBC's ESPN gave him
a shot. I would assume that's what that was. I
don't know why Elsie would randomly pop up on a
ram Dolphin game other than hey, I'm here and I'm
trying out for a full time job. Also, I saw
(31:17):
the death of John Robinson, who you might not know
who he is if you're of a certain age like
under I don't know the age of thirty or something
like that. But John Robinson was the coach of the
Rams when I was a kid USC and I have
a great John Robinson's story. When I was a kid,
well not that young, but John Robinson was goof down
(31:39):
shall we say it was goofed on by. There was
a talk show was named Joe McDonald was a friend
of mine. He became a friend, but at this point
he was just I listened to him Big Joe McDonald,
Big La talk shows literally and figured to the big
La touches. So Joe had found out that John Robinson,
he called him robo coach. He was at a restaurant
which is near my house, and he wanted a listener
(31:59):
to go down and the like, you know, see if
he was actually there, like what he was eating and uh.
And I went down to this this restaurant and spied
on John Robinson, like in the restaurant and I called
back with the report and that was my first reply,
I wasn't on the payroll there. I called. I called
on what he was having there? He was having if I remember,
it was some breakfast. It was like a breakfast meal
(32:20):
as I was a long time ago. But Robinson passing
away age eighty nine, two terms as coach of the
USC Trojans and coach of the Rams, and they talked
him a little bit of the money n I gave.
But he was childhood friends with John Madden growing up
in northern California. John Robinson John Madden both went on
to have a very fruitful careers in the National Football League.

said that. Andy says, the answer is General Booty. Good
luck there you go to Ediot's Andy from Line.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
O' lakes where at I guess not there? I think
they are, but apparently not.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
And I did do one high school football TV broadcast
years ago and General Booty was the quarterback, So I
did call one.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Of his games in high school.
Speaker 7 (35:22):
That's a real person.
Speaker 1 (35:23):

Now?
Speaker 2 (36:22):
This is where I pretend to be somebody else and
then you can't get it right. I am a star
running back in the NFL who has been tackled at
the one or two yard line ten different times this season,
most in the league.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
Who am I?
Speaker 7 (36:35):
I thought you gave me a clue with the star
running back?
Speaker 2 (36:38):
Yes, right, yeah, so I think there's nobody that knows
running backs more than the rain.
Speaker 7 (36:42):
Yeah. So my best guess here is going to be
Patrick Starr.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
It's a wonderful answer, and really on point wondering, is
that is that the correct answer? Let's say that is no,
that is not the that is not the correct answer.
The correct answer is Philadelphia a running back. So Kwan
bar Love the Eagles leads the NFL in being tackled
(37:07):
at the one or two yard line this season, which
is perfect when you consider the fact the Eagles have
the ultimate cheat code, the Tushy Pushy, And when you
have the tush Pushy, you don't mind being tackled the
one or two yard line because you guaranteed to score
a touchdown. Let's go to the phones and we'll say
all loa to Jeff, who is in Denver. Hello, Jeff, welcome,
it's up.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
Jeff.
Speaker 5 (37:28):
Hey, hey man, not part of the militia, as I
don't know why. I've never done the thing. It's kind
of a tongue twister. I've been able to do it
off the air, but I can see why people struggle
on the air.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
Yeah, but I.
Speaker 5 (37:40):
Think I suggest that the militia starts a petition to
get Eddie back. Petitions work, Bring Eddie back.
Speaker 3 (37:48):
Bring Eddie back.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
Listen.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
I love Eddie. I love Eddie to be back, and
it might happen. You know, it's conceivable of what happened.
I can't guarantee anything, obviously, I don't. That's not my department.
So but I'd love to see Eddie back.
Speaker 5 (37:59):
So could we do a petition could.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
The Well consider, let's just look at this from my perspective.
I work at the company, so I can't you can
do whatever you want. I don't you know you're you're
an individual. I work here, so you you would have
to be behind that. But I support I love Eddie
and uh and I'm gonna help him as much as
I can.
Speaker 5 (38:18):
All right, Jeff, do I do I have to become
a member of the militia to start the petition?
Speaker 6 (38:23):
Well?
Speaker 2 (38:23):
No, I mean if you don't want to be part
of them, if you don't want to be sworn in,
you don't have to be, you know, part of it
if you don't want.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
To, right, but you could sell you do it right now?
You want you want to do the oath? Right?
Speaker 6 (38:34):
No?
Speaker 1 (38:34):
No, no, we have time to do the oath right now?
We have time.
Speaker 7 (38:37):
What if we did like a hyper speed version and
if he can do it.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
Then he's well Lorraina, do you understand the pathway to
the oath even exactly? See this guy knows Jeff is
aware practicing.
Speaker 7 (38:50):
That's impressive.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
All right, how about you list Jeff hold on and
then if we we have time next hour, we'll have
you do the oath. We only do it once a show,
so you would you do that? And then you'd have
to figure out whatever your master plan is. That's your world.
I have I'm not endorsing or.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
What's the line, I'm not endorsing or whatever, blah blah blah,
right right, yeah, I'm not. I have nothing.
Speaker 7 (39:11):
Nothing can't come after ben.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
Yeah, it's my hands are clean. I actually just washed them,
wash them with sanitizer.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
No, no handstand. I used the soap I like. I
like to say, we have a pretty good soap here,
pretty good soap. We do solid soap. That's good soap.
But the paper towels are not. Yeah, and these I
forgot my I have a mug guy always a blue
thing that I put water in, and I forgot it.
So I have to use those styrofoam cups. That's not good,
those Styverfolme cups.
Speaker 7 (39:38):
Do you ever chew on the side of those?
Speaker 2 (39:39):
I have in the past, But that was a child
when I did that. Does in a grown up? I
don't think I've done that. But I don't like I
like the paper cup pearl paper like I don't know.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
The styrofoam just feels weird in your hand. You know,
your FT's around with the styrofoam that doesn't feel right,
doesn't hold enough water either.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
Yeah, there's small cups and so then I have to
walk like you see me, walk back and forth because
I need more water. I'm a big water drink. And
if they spill, there's water in the air everywhere. It's
a big mess.
