Welcome, it's our numb bird, one of the original recipe
Ben Maller Show podcast. We were up all night while
you were sleeping, providing you with this hour of audio
content with limited commercial interruptions. We are allowed to speak
our mind and oh what a story it is. The

(00:22):
Battle of the Birds, a classic Monday night football game
the Falcons and the Eagles, a dramatic finish. Did the
Kirk Cousins Falcons win the game? Or did the Sequon
Barkley Eagles lose this one? Barkley picking up a new nickname. Also,
does the absence of wide receiver A. J. Brown give

(00:43):
the Eagles a reasonable excuse for blowing this game at home?

Speaker 1 (00:48):
Also?

Speaker 2 (00:48):
How impressed were you with Kirk Cousins and the Falcons
as they stayed in the game and then pulled it
out at the very end. We'll talk about all of
these angles and many more. Full moon, so you know,
some crazy stuffs in the cards right now here? It
is our number one Flyegles fly on the road to disaster.

(01:17):
What was that? Welcome in the beginning of another night

Speaker 1 (02:05):
Dj JD born to DJ reached out to me.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
He was trying to find some Benny versus the Penny
swag at the gift shop there in Manhattan, and they
didn't have any. And I want you to We're gonna
get to the bottom of mat, uh, dj JD. We're
gonna get to the bottom mat But.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Our lead this out. Don't bury the lead, mo Man,
We're not going to bury the lead. Wow.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Wowser's Philadelphia, the birthplace of our freedom, allegedly the original
White House right there in Philadelphia, all the history American history.
That was the stage for Week two, the matchup on
Monday Night football North versus South.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
Jalen hurts and the Eagles against Kirk Cousins and the
Atlanta Falcons in an NFC slobber knocker. Troy Aikman was there,
you had Joe Buck, A couple of the Fox refugees
were calling the game, uh on ABC? And where you watching?
Were you checking this out? Were you consuming the product? Possibly? Not?

(03:06):
Possibly you missed the said product. There we watched so
you would not have to, and you actually missed a
good game. A lot of these primetime games are duds.
This was not one of them. It wasn't the most
riveting game throughout, but in the end, it's all about
the finish and Kirk Cousins conducting a dramatic, picture perfect

(03:27):
last minute drive for Atlanta and capped it off with
a seven yard pass and catch to Drake London with
thirty four seconds left, and the Falcons get a flabbergasting
twenty two to twenty one win with the point after
touchdown as they take down the Eagles. They took them down,

(03:50):
all right, So let us discuss the question. Did the
Kirk Cousins Falcons win the game or was it a
story of Jalen Herz, Sequon Barkley and the Eagles losing
said game. So I've got candy man, cry uncle, and horseplay,

(04:11):
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make a tasty cake which tasted
a little better on the way back to that great
airport in Atlanta for the Falcons. So a the arrow
on this one rather obvious. The better story is in
the losing locker room. It is squarely pointed the bullseye

(04:32):
the city of brotherly love. Most games are lost, they're
not won. And this is a textbook example case in
point Monday Night football. It was in the green bag,
the game was in the green bag. The Eagles had
all of the pieces, all of the pieces to complete
the jigsaw puzzle. They were holding the final piece. It
was a middle piece. They had the final piece to

(04:54):
the jigsaw puzzle to get the victory, only to futze
it away and they drop it down the garbage disposal
and it's gone. So in terms of who gets the
biggest chunk of the blame cheese steak, we're gonna cut
this thing up freeways. Now, a lot of low information
people say, oh, that's only one person gets the entire
blame chief steak. But now I say, no, it's deeper

(05:15):
than that. We have Sequon Barkley, Jalen Hurts, and Nick Sirianni.
They each get a big chunk that the biggest. We're
gonna start with a guy I'm gonna call him candy Man.
Saquon Barkley is candy Man. You see, if you watch
the game, you know what I'm talking about. Butter fingers Barkley.
Butter fingers Barkley, you had one job. You had one job.

(05:39):
Sequan one job and a reminder that you can take
the player out of the Giants uniform. You can do that.
You can take the player out of the Jazz uniform.
But you can't take the stank of that Giants uniform
out of the player, not easily anyway. And this was Prof.
Barkley did the thing you can't do at the time.
You can't do it.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
A dramatic, game changing play, A rudimentary, basic pass that
running backs catch almost all of the time. It was
right there.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
It wasn't a terrible pass. It wasn't over his head,
it wasn't on the ground, it wasn't sideways. It was
right there. Short pass, catch the ball, win the game.
He didn't catch the ball, and the clock stop because
of that one for six left that forced the Eagles
to settle for a field goal instead of the game

(06:32):
ceiling first nam, which would have ended things.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
Here is mister.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
Barkley butterfingers Barkley afterwards explaining that he is a dumb ass,
dropped the ball.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
Let my team now today, shouldn't put the defense in
that position.

Speaker 4 (06:49):
Make that catch.

Speaker 5 (06:50):
Came over, relax, came back to my o habits and
sk gotta go back and get that to work.

Speaker 6 (06:56):
Now.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
The problem is they're playing like they're still with the Giants.
That's Giants football. That's Giants football. That's the New York
Giants of modern times. Would could have should have ice
the game, but did not. All right, next up, Jalen Hurst. Now,
the Eagles offense was too methodical for my taste. They
were too methodical. Who they were productive? Too methodical?

Speaker 6 (07:16):
Right.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
The object of the game is to score points, it's
not playing keep away.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
Right.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
The Philadelphia Eagles offense, they should be much better than
the Atlanta offense because of all the new players the
Falcons have. But Philadelphia was should have never been in
position to lose the game late because you can't get
it done late. That is on Jalen Hurts, who averaged
six point one yards per pass in this game. Pedestrian

(07:43):
not only not only pedestrian performance. And then after Barkley
had the brain fart Butterfingers Barkley dropping the pass, Hurts
he has a Tom Brady Molman, right, you can go
down the field, lead your team back to victory, pick
up your teammate, Fingers Barkley, game winning drive ended, and
he tosses a wounded duck with three Atlanta defenders around

(08:07):
it was it was really the only question is whether
wich Atlanta defender was gonna pick off the pass. All
three had a chance to pick off that wounded duck
in that moment. Now finally you had Siriatti, Nick Siriatti.
And the reason I'm gonna bring Nick Sirianni on here
is because of acid reflux. Okay, the Eagles coach. That

(08:27):
was what we call a burp, a reminder of last
season's collapse where the Eagles, if they had any real ownership,
they would have fired Nick Sirianti.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
Why the guy's still there, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
But Nick Sirianti made some questionable decisions in this game.
Now you'll hear the question and the answer on this one,
we'll play some of it. I don't know that we're
gonna play all of it. But here's Nick Sirianni commenting
on the decision. There was a third down decision. Let's
let's take a listen to the audio.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
Here we go recalled don't want to pass in it?

Speaker 7 (09:01):
Tell my pastor a mechanism where both chail and just
six down takes a sack.

Speaker 8 (09:07):
You know, we uh, we wanted to they were they
were running a certain defense and junking it up in
the middle. So we're trying to go on around the
outside and uh, you know, it didn't work.

Speaker 6 (09:19):
Your golf pattern there, wanted to go and kicking them up.

Speaker 8 (09:24):
You think about them, you know again in that scenario,
I was thinking they might not have any timeouts there,
but they obviously they did with with the with the
incomplete pass, you know, that would have that would have
came down to maybe a minute, and so we wanted
to go up six points, you know, and it didn't work.

(09:44):
So you know, my decision to pass it there again,
like I said, you know what, they were junking it
up inside with it being fourth and three to go
for it, I thought, you know, with them not having
any timeouts, I wanted to be down a touchdown and
and see if they could out of the field.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
Then they did. All right, that's all right, all.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
Right, there you go, Nick Sirianni. Is there a better
front running coach in the NFL? Than Nick Sirianni?

Speaker 1 (10:08):
Is there?

Speaker 2 (10:09):
Is there anybody like you want? This guy's like a
male cheerleader out there. When his team's doing well, right,
and when they're losing, he turtles up. That's a Nick
Sirianni right there. That's your head coach. That's the Eagles
head coach. That's your leader of men.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
Now page two here, does the absence of wide receiver A. J. Brown?

Speaker 2 (10:28):
Does that give the Eagles a reasonable excuse for this performance?
And I'm shaking my head no on this. The answer
is no. It's a pass fail grading system when it
comes to these games. Pass fail, no excuses, so you
get a fail. And Brown is a good wide receiver.

(10:49):
You could say he's a top ten wide receiver. I
wouldn't disagree. I don't know about top five, but he's
very good. He's not the super nova. Right, You're gonna
throw the ball to him five to ten times three
or four, maybe five passes. Maybe one of them will
go for a bunch of yard. There's no guarantee he's
gonna score a touchdown. It's a score touchdown every game.
But in this particular night, the real bird brain, which

(11:12):
has not been mentioned yet, goes to the Eagles as
a team pivoting to cry uncle, as in Uncle Vic Fangio.
The defensive quarter where have you gone? Vic Fangio shutdown defense.
Kirk Cousins looked absolutely cooked.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
He looked like a.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
Display case mannequin. Last week against the Pittsburgh Steelers. It
was weekend at Bernie's type stuff. And then Fangio's defense
failing to keep him on his toes. The Eagles had
just two quarterback hits against Atlanta's quarterback just two one sack.
On the night, there was very little pressure. The final

(11:53):
drive by Atlanta against Vic Fangio's Eagles defense was the
perfect encapsulation of the problem for the Birds defense. Here,
even with the Barkley fumble, which not on a fumble,
he just dropped it, and then the interception by the quarterback,
the Eagles played soft. That's not Philadelphia Eagle style football.

(12:15):
That's not in my lifetime not recently. That's not how
the Eagles had played defense. They played soft coverage, they
had a non existent pass rush.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
And they lost the game.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
There was a lot of things that could have massed that,
and the things didn't work out. Defense, they had to
make a stop at the end. They didn't make a stop.
All right, Now, last word here we briefly go to
the place where it's not as good as story, the
winning locker room, and we asked the question for the
esteem panel, how impressed were you with Kirk Cousins and
the Falcons. Well, considering that the game was in the

(12:48):
bag for the Eagles, I wasn't all that impressed. Right,
how clunky Cousins looked last week. It was stupefying that
they had a chance to win this game.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
It really was.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
After a couple of punts to start the game, and
I'm thinking early on, I'm like, all right, this is
neither team got off to a great start, but the
Atlanta offense the first couple of possessions are like, this
is not gonna go well for the Falcons. This game
should be a route or a route depending on where
you grew up. And to have that turn into what
it became is rather mind boggling when you think about it.

(13:21):
The Falcons after those first two drives went haywire because
of the soft Vic Fangio defense. The Falcons scored either
field goals or touchdowns on five of their final six
real drives of the game. I don't count the last
drive because they just down the ball.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
That was it.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
But overall, Atlanta is certainly not out of the woods.
They're not out of the woods here, and I consider
this horse play. This win is horseplay. Never look a
gift mouth in the gift horse in the mouth.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
You should do that.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
You should not look at gift horse in the mouth
because the dirty birds were the beneficiary of a gift.

Speaker 9 (13:58):
Right.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
It's like the room service cart shows up at your
hotel room and you get a nice meal. You didn't
pay for the meal, you don't know who paid for
the meal, but you get the meal. It was more
incompetence by the Philadelphia Eagles. They had ninety seven percent
chance Philadelphia, if you go by the nerd numbers of
winning the game, and so you accept the gift gracefully. Fine,
you move on, but you look ahead and Atlanta under

(14:22):
their new head coach Raheem Morris. They have the Chiefs,
the Saints, and the Buccaneers lined up and good afternoon,
good evening again, good night. All those three games in Georgia,
but they at the Chiefs primetime, the Saints and the Buccaneers.
Two of those three are night games in the atl
It is the Ben Maler Show. Would you like to

com Sports radio studios. It's Ben Mallor.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
Together here.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
Talked about the wild finished to Week two of the NFL.
The Atlanta Falcons a big road dog. They win the
game out right, take down the Eagles in the final
seconds there, Philadelphia blowing the lead. Although it was never
a lopsided game Philadelphia, the anticipation was that they were
going to have their way with the Falcons. That did

(17:26):
not happen. It was closed throughout, but could have, would have,
should have the Eagles had the game did not close
the game out. You've got Nick Sirianni and the analytical
nerds and.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
They're having their their grand get together. There is do
you go for it?

Speaker 2 (17:41):
On fourth down? Early on the Eagles had a chance
to kick a field goal. They decided to go for it.
Didn't work out. Later on they did kick a field goal.
So you can't make your mind up. They're not they're
not going full reckless. They're like mixing and matching. It's
like a patchwork. Dely Oh what they have going in Philadelphia.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
This time it counts.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
Yeah, before it didn't count, but this time it definitely
definitely counts. The Malva Militia a lot to say, a
lot to say about the wonderful activity in the NFL,
and let's see page down here. Mallaprop Guy says this
may be an epic pre Halloween candy promotion. By the way,
the candy company Ferrero Candy Company and Saquon Barkley, the

(18:26):
makers of butter fingers. Cowboy Killer says, I have lost
one hundred dollars in the past two weeks because of
Sean Payton. I need penny and the penny to make
me some money this week. Well, Cowboy Killer, I'm due
for a big week because I got absolutely killed on
Sunday late the late TV window and the primetime Sunday

(18:46):
night game and Monday night game did not go my way. No, no,
but that's good news. No let me say that's bad
for me. It's good for the penny. But it's also
something where next week I never have two bad weeks
in a row. Next week's going to be a big week,
big big week for sure. Alf the alien ol Piner says,
forget Monday night football. Let's get down to the lead

(19:08):
story of the day. You are the modern day E. F.

Speaker 1 (19:11):
Hutton.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
When Ben talks people, listen, you told the Dodgers who
to get at the deadline, and now you ask the
Panthers to fire their quarterback and they did. It's correct.
We gave advice. We gave advice to the Carolina Panthers
last night on this show on what to Do. We'll
get to that next hour. But Carolina, they traded the
farm to get their number one overall pick and the

(19:37):
guy can't play.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
It's I love the people making excuses. It fascinates me.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
May we all have people in our lives where you're
bad at your job and there are people that blame
other people for you being bad at your job. It
is outstanding. I love it. You know, I started in radio.
It was nineteen years old, and I sucked at radio. Yeah,
you probably think I still suck at RADED, but I
really sucked when I was nineteen years old. I don't
remember people going into the program director saying, well, it's

(20:06):
the Bardop's fault. You know, it's a it's the imaging's fault. No,
it's either good or you're not good. This guy stinks.
I didn't realize it was a charity. I had no
idea it was a charity, no idea. Somebody should have
let me know. But the Eagles give one away there,
and though it should have never been in question whether

(20:27):
or not the game was going to go that direction
or not, the Eagles should have could have been, would
have won by more, but they did not. You FHEMI
in Chicago says, hey, malar a plus and some cool
ranch toritos on the mall monologue and Nick Poopiani sounds
like someone ate his cat after that.

Speaker 1 (20:42):
Performance, so he said, yeah, I hear you, all right.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
Josh says, don't barely lead my man if Nick Sirianni
took the logical approach of kicking the field goal fourth
and three in the first quarter, you'd have a different
tactical approach to the game.

Speaker 1 (20:59):
Take points. No, no, no, the nerds, the nerds said,
go for it. You've got to go for ranitch. Nerdball.
It's nerdball.

Speaker 9 (21:09):
Come on, King.

Speaker 2 (21:10):
Dork, who wouldn't know a jockstrap from a g string.

Speaker 1 (21:16):
He's the one making the decision.

Speaker 2 (21:17):
Ye me, wonderful. That's where our sports are. And the
reason our sports are like that is because rich people
are stupid. And the rich people that run these sports teams,
that own these sports teams, the aristocrats, they got sold
a bill of goods by the Ivy League crowd. The
Ivy League crowds like, wait a minute, we can get
in in sports. We're gonna take over sports, and we'll

(21:37):
give all these these fancy VENN diagrams, and the idiots
that run the sports teams they'll believe it, and they'll
pay us these six figure contracts per year. And we're
just making crap up and pulling out of martuckis.

Speaker 6 (21:50):
Well, you have a gambling keep.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
Paying us for it. Let's go to Mike in Boston.
What's going on? Mike? Welcome, you're on Fox.

Speaker 5 (22:00):
At that?

Speaker 1 (22:01):
How well, you're my friend, Mike if I.

Speaker 2 (22:03):
Was any better, I'd have one of those analytical jobs
and I'd get money for nothing money. It's like radio consultants.
I used to deal, not as much anymore. Radio consultants.
They have all the answers and then when it doesn't work,
they leave.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
Listen.

Speaker 9 (22:16):
We're in the twilight zone right now.

Speaker 2 (22:19):
It sounds like it sounds like you are in the
Bermuda Triangles your car. Are you calling from the Bermuda Triangle? Mike,
There's a buzz, there's a noise, there's a lot going on.

Speaker 9 (22:28):
Oh I'm sorry. I'm just like guy in the Bermuda Triangle,
because where else would we be? After these first.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
Two weeks, it did not go well for me this week.
Week one was okay, average, but this was not good.
This was not good for me.

Speaker 9 (22:45):
Uhig, you know, honestly, God.

Speaker 1 (22:49):
Ben, what's that? Man?

Speaker 9 (22:50):
But you know, all my friends calling me?

Speaker 1 (22:57):
What do they said? What are they saying? They say,
you gotta get a better phone? Is that what they're
saying in Yeah, pretty much? Yeah?

Speaker 9 (23:03):
Well can you hear me better now?

Speaker 1 (23:07):
I can?

Speaker 2 (23:07):
Yeah, much better faster. He fixed all your phone problems?

Speaker 6 (23:12):
All right?

Speaker 1 (23:12):
Maybe you should work for the phone company. Mike, you should.

Speaker 9 (23:15):
Well, what am I gonna do?

Speaker 1 (23:18):
I don't know, I don't know. You just want you
just want to say hello? Is that's it. We're just
hanging out, you know, just a couple of talking.

Speaker 9 (23:25):
Well, listen, you goad what I'm like? Old school? You know,
especially when he came to fantasy football. You know, I
was always drafted running back, running backs, running backs, but
you know, this past like decades, it's got to be
all wide receivers. My friends all called me up, They're like, hey,
what do you think? What do you think? Because I
quit fantasy football because you know, I sucked for like

(23:45):
twenty something years, but last year I won all three
in my uh my leagues went out on top. That's
that I quit. But I told everybody shocked.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
Now didn't you when you walked away? Did you say, hey,
this is my last day? Ants I? Did you do
a documentary about your final year in fantasy football. We
used to have this guy named His nickname on the
show was Jahatis John and he lived in Michigan. He
probably still does. Haven't heard from him in years, but
he was a super fantom mine. He loved this show.
Everything I did. He supported me, just like Alf the

(24:17):
Alien opineer, just like Ferg Dog, these guys that follow
me around. He loved my work, and he said he
was such a bitter and broken sports fan. He said,
if none of my teams win by the time I'm forty,
I'm out. And he quit. He doesn't watch sports anymore.
He just gave up all of sports. He walked away,
doesn't sports radio. He said, I dedicated in my youth,

(24:39):
my twenties and my thirties to sports and my teens,
and they didn't win. So I'm out and he just quit. Wow, yeah, wow, Okay,
I don't know he did it. I don't know. I
don't know how he did it. He just stopped one
day he said that said, I'm done.

Speaker 9 (25:00):
Eighty six years.

Speaker 1 (25:03):
I know.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
I remember I used to go when the Red Sox.
When people wanted to rasz the Red Sox fans, they
yell a certain year. The last time the Red Sox
was nineteen eighteen. Was nineteen eighteen.

Speaker 6 (25:14):
Yeah, so anyway, but you know something, It just like,
how do you give up on your team.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
Well, not just one team, all your teams. Like yeah,
he got quit. He said, I'm out, And they never
have not heard from him since.

Speaker 9 (25:31):
Then, he just you know, nineties for us, we should
have quit on all our teams.

Speaker 2 (25:36):
But yeah, well he had the last twenty years. I
think things have gone pretty well for you.

Speaker 6 (25:41):
All Right.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
I gotta go, Mike, But thank you.

Speaker 2 (25:42):
I love hearing nothing I love more than hearing about
fantasy football. I just live for that, right, Coop. Do
we not need more of that content? Hearing about boys
fantasy football? God, that's that fun. Lorraine is excited over there,
she's fired.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
God, it's gone.

Speaker 2 (25:55):
Oh it's such great audio. Oh my god. How lucky
are we to hear about Mike's fantasy football?

Speaker 1 (26:01):
Man Alive.

Speaker 6 (26:02):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mallor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

Speaker 5 (26:08):
And it is time for our nightly question. Did the
White Sox lose?

Speaker 1 (26:11):
Did the White Sox did they play?

Speaker 5 (26:13):
They did play?

Speaker 1 (26:14):
Oh they did? They lost?

Speaker 5 (26:15):
No?

Speaker 1 (26:15):
They woh boo.

Speaker 5 (26:19):
Coops Angels eight to five, it does that's two mile leaguewo.
So they're still at one hundred and fifteen losses. We
need six more in the final eleven games.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
You break the record, dude, it you can do.

Speaker 5 (26:32):
Be a little concerned.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
Yeah, it is the Ben Mahlor Show. In this show,
believe it or not, has sponsors. It's sponsored by DraftKings.
Stay tuned because you'll hear more about DraftKings and all
that has to offer throughout the show. DraftKings. The Crown
is yours.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
Fun fact. Fun fact, fun fack maler fun fact.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
We go to the NFL where Broncos quarterback bow Knicks.
Bow Knicks is attempted. He was eleven of thirty six.
He is over eleven to thirty and twelve yards and
four picks on passes of more than five yards. So
when he's attempted to throw the ball more than five
yards down the field, he's attempted thirty six.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
He's only completed eleven of them.

Speaker 2 (27:14):
That is a thirty point six completion rate somehow wow,
which is the lowest in the NFL by six percent
and the worst we have seen in at least a
decade in the NFL. He's trash.

Speaker 5 (27:28):
Did you hear his SoundBite on the interception? Did you
didn't play that yesterday?

Speaker 1 (27:31):
Did you?

Speaker 6 (27:31):
No?

Speaker 1 (27:32):
We're you gonna play it today.

Speaker 5 (27:32):
You're gonna play it today?

Speaker 1 (27:33):
Now's you wanna play?

Speaker 6 (27:34):
Now?

Speaker 1 (27:34):
We can play now? If you want. We got it now?
Is it ready to go?

Speaker 5 (27:37):
All right?

Speaker 1 (27:38):
Let's play it now? Is it Bo? This is Bo?

Speaker 2 (27:40):
Nicks asked a question about an interception that he threw
against the Steels, and I thought his answer was clinical.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
I thought his answer was thoughtful. I thought his answer
was truthful. Let's go to the audio tape.

Speaker 8 (27:55):
Can you take us through the interception in the end zone?

Speaker 9 (27:57):
Uh?

Speaker 8 (27:58):
Yeah, chop to the other team?

Speaker 2 (28:02):
Okay, one hundred accurate. That sounds like it could be
a wonderful drop on the show. I don't know how
long Box is gonna be playing there. Sean Payton has
hitched his wagon to bow next. He's certainly great. He's
mister August. Unfortunately it's not August anymore. But that dropped?
Can can we just play the end of it? Or
I bet that last part I think would be just
a great drop for bow Knicks. And every time he

(28:23):
throws an interception, we can just play that.

Speaker 8 (28:25):
Yeah, let's here, let me give me chop back to
the other team.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
Yeah, that's right, that's it.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
And as what I like to do is out of
context audio, so we could play that for any quarterback
that throws in an interception because nobody knows what these
guys sound like.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
I think it might be better than Caleb Williams, though,
uhat take. I don't know about that here, what do
you mean? Look at the stats? The stats, well, he's
they both stink. What are you talking about?

Speaker 5 (28:55):
Make some plays of his legs though, and it's bo
next No, not stending plays though, to make a throw
like you know, like Mahomes does.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
Here's the thing though, he first time, but he doesn't
extend PA. You's got to get better, though, like Bryce
Young never got better.

Speaker 2 (29:10):
Like Bryce Young was a bag of suck from day
one and he's still a bag of suck.

Speaker 1 (29:14):
So like you start out that way.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
I mean, most of these guys snink it first, but
you got to show signs that you're getting better, and
Bryce Young never did. Bot Nicks is only two games
in and these other guys are only a couple of
games in. But there are some numbers. A lot of
guys now sending me fun facts. There's there's some statistics
later on. I'm not gonna do it now, but we'll
get to it at some point. About Jaden Daniels, We're

(29:36):
here all night, and let's just say things even though
they look promising for Jaden Daniels to the untrained eye.
Upon further review, possibly not more on that later. I'll
say a baseball fun fact. Hit me again in the rain,
Hit me again, Come on, hit me again. Fun fact.
You know who Luisa Rises? Are you familiar with?

Speaker 1 (29:58):
Yeah, he's never heard of. He a throwback.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
He's like in a bubble. He's a what sports you
go way in the bubble. What do you think, Luisa Rise?
What sport do you think?

Speaker 5 (30:06):
He plays?

Speaker 1 (30:07):
WNBA?

Speaker 2 (30:08):
That is correct, and he's a very good second basement
for the Padres and the WNBA.

Speaker 5 (30:12):
If that were the case, we'd be talking a lot
more about him.

Speaker 1 (30:15):
Her. Well, you never know.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
It's twenty twenty four, Eddy, So anyway, Luisa Rise plays
for the San Diego Padres, and he struck out against
the cheating a Holes, which is newsworthy. The reason it's
newsworthy he struck out for the first time since August tenth,
over a month and one hundred and forty one consecutive

(30:37):
played appearances. He went without striking out, and he struck
out on a pitch that was a ball. It was
a breaking pitch that broke inside, low and inside, and
he swung and miss. But there used to be a
time where baseball valued that kind of player. That was
like a big deal. But baseball doesn't value that kind
of player. That's why Luisa Rise has gone from the Twins,

(30:58):
the Marlins, the Padres, and the probably be some somebody
else's player next year. He'll he'll bounce around the merry
go round. Let's say hello to Andrew, who is in
Baker's field?

Speaker 1 (31:10):
Hello Andrew, what's up?

Speaker 3 (31:13):
Ben a long time?

Speaker 1 (31:15):
Welcome back. I'm glad you got out of jail. Welcome back.

Speaker 3 (31:18):
No, no, no, I've been clean. I mean, no jail
for me.

Speaker 1 (31:25):
Well where have you been?

Speaker 3 (31:28):
I've been around. But I got a hot take?

Speaker 2 (31:30):
Oh hot take? All right, everyone quiet on the set.
We got a hot take. Oh baby, crank up the oven.

Speaker 3 (31:38):
Sean Payton is a cancer in Denver. He needs to
be extricated.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
No, that is a hot take, and that hot take
is made possible by nobody.

Speaker 1 (31:49):
Nobody made that sponsorship.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
Oh stop, please, that was the most that bounty gate
was the most ridiculous thing in the world.

Speaker 1 (31:58):
It's so stupid.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
Tell me you're a wuss without telling me you're a
wis please, By the way, Mark and Queen's right since
says Ben, I love your humor and what command of
the English language? God bless you, Mark, the real King
of Queens. Mark there, Alfie, I'm not done, Alfie. Allen
Pinter says, who watches sports? I'm here for you, malor
not these out of touch athletes. You have a bond
with a common man. Fir Dog says, with the massive

(32:22):
budget on your show, would it be possible to give
all the callers a com rex to avoid crappy phones.
That's a great idea. Contact curists and see if we
can get comrax for all the people in call him. Yes, Andrew,
that's it.

Speaker 3 (32:36):
You done?

Speaker 1 (32:39):
Are you cleared your throat on the air. You can't
do that. People are listening. They don't want to hear
phlem in your throat.

Speaker 3 (32:49):
Barkley, he was thinking about making a slide after he
got the three yards and he dropped it. And my
other question is.

Speaker 2 (32:56):
Now what he should have been doing is thinking about
getting in the end zone and coloring the spread?

Speaker 1 (32:59):
Is what he should have been thinking about?

Speaker 9 (33:01):
Sure?

Speaker 3 (33:02):
Anything, But then on fourth down, why didn't they just
do the brotherly show?

Speaker 1 (33:08):
Yeah? Well, why don't I just run it? Every play? Works.
They get two or three yards every play. Just keep running.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
Yeah, all right, I gotta go. I'm so glad you're
back in I'm my god? Am I lucky? How lucky
are we that Andrew is back to save the show?

Speaker 1 (33:23):
Hot? Take Andrew from Bakersfield? How about new Yeah? Wild
wild wild wild wild Wild?

Speaker 2 (33:31):
Late Night Drug Tester says the Three f's tonight full

Speaker 2 (35:04):
A blatant attempt to pothetically convince you to listen to
a few minutes more of this show. I am a
starting quarterback who is zero for seven my last seven starts,
going back to the day, and there's ten touchdown, seven interceptions,
a passer rating of eighty one point nine, which we
do not believe is good. We don't think that it's good.
We didn't plan the NFL, but it's our opinion that's

(35:26):
not good. On the Ben Malar Show. So that is
the question, what is the answer? Who am I? And

Trevor Lawrence de generational cornerback, Trevor Lawrence. Now the Belichick,
the BELICHICKI and conspiracy. I'm gonna need your help on
this Bill Belichick. I saw some clips. I didn't watch
this feed the Manning cast, but people pointing out to
me that Belichick was very upset, directed criticism at the

(38:22):
Falcons and people thinking there's a connection because the Falcons
were supposed to hire Belichick and then at the last minute,
Arthur Blank, who looks like you know, Dick dastardly cartoon character,
he changed his mind. So Belichick throwing some shots there
at the Falcons on TV.

Speaker 1 (38:40):
