Malor Show, and a very happy, happy, happy, happy Friday
to you. It's the fifth day of September. And before
we tell you what's coming up here in hour number one,
couple of things I need your help on I need
your help to follow the Fifth Hour Podcast. Now today's
(00:22):
episode of the Fifth Hour Podcast, we go back in
time before I worked at Fox Sports Radio, I actually
did a midday talk show.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
I was a young kid. I had a midday talk
show called the.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Ben and Dave Show way back and I went down
memory lane with my first radio partner that I did
a daytime show with, named Dave Smith.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
He came on, He's got his own podcast. We had a.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Pretty popular midday show way back in the day, and
so Dave came on my podcast here the Fifth Hour,
we reminisced about that. Also, Benny Versus the Penny now
is on a global platform. Wants you to watch that
this weekend. It's on Benny Vspenny at Benny Vspenny on YouTube,
and you should also be following Ben Mahler Show on YouTube.
(01:05):
But that's Benny Versus the Penny, our new home very
excited about that, so please support the little pirate ship
there now Here in hour one is it in bounds
to blame ceedee Lamb for the Cowboys loss or out
of bounds? Also, how did you grade Dak Prescott's performance
as the Eagles beat the Cowboys? And were you surprised
that Michael Jordan, the greatest of all time showed up
(01:28):
at the Eagles game? Come on, he's not an Eagles
fan or a Cowboy fan. We'll talk about all that
and more right now. Give it up for our number one.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Jerry had a little lamb and that lamb came up
really small when it mattered. Most welcome inm not beginning
of another night of the Ben Mahler Show.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
We are in the air.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Everywares we rub elbows, return and tune and drop the
whole thing coast to coast, portal.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
The border and beyond.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
On the mast and monolithically powerful microphones of fs are
am monating live from the down, the touchdown, the back
of the end zone from the world famous Fox Sports
Radio studios, as approved by Spaccoli. Now, Spaccoli told me
(02:27):
I'm not gonna be a fake p one. I'm gonna
stay up late because of the weather delay in Philly.
The game ended late, so I'm gonna stay up late.
So we welcome in Spacoli. Who knows that hey tire rack.
For over forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers
find the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
ship fast end freeback by free road hazard protection, with
(02:49):
convenient installation options like multile tire installation tire i raq
dot com the way tire buying should be. And right
off the bat, I've been told by my crew here,
they said, you know, you must address the lunatics, the
wack of doodles that are on social media that are
they really think they programmed the show? They think they
(03:12):
programmed the show. So a number of these nut jobs
get very upset. So out of a courtesy, I will
send out if you follow the show on x it's
kind of an interactive situation. We do this in real time.
If your podcast listener just fast forward through this part even.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Though we're doing this live.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
So normally what happens is I will send out right
before the show begins.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
I will send out a little menu, you know, the.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Soup of the day we have on the dessert menu
today and I will send that out as a way
for you to have somebody.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
To look forward to. Dear, like God, it's good, like.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
You actually look forward to this crap. And then sometimes
I'm so busy I don't have time to do that.
You know, I staff of thousands that work on the show,
being the overnight guy, so I did not have a
chance to send that out, but I will do that later.
I'm efforting. That is that we're supposed to say, efforting,
I think everyting. Yes, yes, according to my friend Lareda,
we're efforting to get that out. So we will have
(04:07):
that out within the hour. If you're listening in real
time and listening live. But our lead this hour is
from Phildelphia. The curtain and the championship banner went up
to the rafters. There was raised the twenty twenty five
NFL season. Were you watching, well, probably probably, I mean
(04:30):
just had to get a really good rating, really good rating.
Cowboys were involved, and so you had Jalen Hurts. We
told you yesterday and one of the many Draft Kings
commercials that Jalen Hurts scoring a touchdown seemed like a
good idea to us. He did not only one, but
two touchdowns, so Jalen Hurts rushing for two scores. The
Eagles with stood a rare although not quite as rare
(04:54):
as it should be, weather delay, and they needed a
late stop to beat the Cowboys twenty four to twenty
game ending early in the overnight hours in Philadelphia. There
is the sixty five minute delay. A wild start to
the NFL season. Looked like the game would be in
the forties in the first half. The Eagles led twenty
(05:17):
four to twenty with four forty four to go in
the third court. So fours across the board, fours across
the board.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
And then the yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
And then the game was delayed I mentioned for sixty
five minutes because of lightning in the area. We'll get
to that some point later on in the show around
Lincoln Financial Field. So the game ended up just after midnight.
I love these people that are used to working during
the day. They get so freaked out. Oh my god,
Mike Turko, I thought it was gonna have a heart attack.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
On NBC. It was, Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
The game inded after mid no Oh my god, Hey Mike,
there's people up overnight, you dope. They work the overnight shift,
You moron, you might want to acknowledge the people that
drive trucks and work in factories and make donuts. So
when you fat ass goes to the donut shop, you
can eat a donut in the morning. They're making them overnight. Okay,
he says, Oh, I can't believe, but we ended it
after midnight.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Holy crap.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Anyway, the Cowboys had a chance. They had multiple chances.
Now dak Press got through an incomplete pass on a
fourth down and three.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
That was the.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Final blow with one fifty four to go, the last gasp.
The better story, though, is in the losing locker room.
The better story is in the losing locker room.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
We had the.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Debut of Shotzi or Shanty Brian Schottenheimer. He took over
as the coach. He's the latest sock puppet for Jerry Jones.
And there's this story within the story here. If you
saw the game, I believe you know where we're going
with this. So many pointing the finger at CD Lamb
(06:49):
and that's the Dallas pass catcher. In fact, even Ceedee
Lamb was pointing the fingers at who was pounding his
chest like at the end of the game.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Kind of Hey, blame me. It was my fault. Bad
job by me.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
He melted down in the fourth quarter of this game
with multiple drop passes, including a backbreaker for the Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
So let us discuss is.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
It inbounds or is it out of bounds to blame
Ceedee Lamb for the Cowboys loss? So is it inbounds
to blame Ceedee Lamb for the Cowboys loss or out
of bounds? So my thoughts on this, I've got Marvel Comics, iPhones,
and Hermit Crab and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to make cotton Candy,
(07:32):
which is about as tough as the Cowboys defense was
early in that game. Now, a better second half for
Dallas defensively, But it's not about that. This is about
the story within the story. Cee d Lamb hole Lee
crap Wow. Now, he did have seven catches for one
hundred and ten yards. That's a good stat line if
you play fantasy football. But in terms of the making
(07:56):
a play.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
When it mattered, he did not.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Here is the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, Brian Schottenheimer.
Brian Schottenheimer, commenting on the night of Ceedee Lamb, take
it I don't.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
Worry about See, Lamb City's gonna be fine. What a
great player. Again, this was a This was a team defeat,
and we own that. You know, we understand where we
can go as a football team. We understand. I love
the competition. I thought guys competed their butts off. I
thought that was great. But we're all about winning, and
we didn't win tonight, and so therefore it's not good enough.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
If I was Jared Jones, I'd fire Shottenheimer right now.
I'd say, all right, you're not allowed to go back
to Dallas.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
You're a dope. Uh No, how about some accountability.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
How about your guy, your mister one hundred million dollar man?
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Fed up?
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Why can't we say that, Oh my god, what was
it gonna rain down lightning like it did in Philadelphia
there when the game was delayed. If you say that,
this is the stuff about sports that just drives me insane,
Like they just think you're a moron. The customer is dope.
You can't acknowledge what everyone sees. Right, you're the one
(09:05):
hundred million dollar man. You're supposed to be the difference maker.
It's like Marvel comics. I learned this from my friend
Spider Man. With great power comes great responsibility. You're one
hundred million dollar receiver.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
That means when.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
The ball's in the air and it hits your hands
in the fourth quarter, you've gotta make the play.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
You don't get to play well.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
I had seven catches for one hundred and ten yards
card and your coach can defend your Well, it's a
team loss.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Empty.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Those are empty calories. They're empty stats by Ceedee Lamb
and Jerry Jones Cowboys. They pay this guy to be
a special ingredient. Not everyone is treated the same.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
We know that is. Oh, it's a meritocracy. No, it's not.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Everyone's treated a little bit differently. Right, the stars get
a little more wiggle room. This is the thing. You
get one hundred million dollars that is supposed to separate
rate you from a guy on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Okay, any jibbrodi.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Can go out there and drop the ball in crunch time.
That's not one hundred million dollars receiver. But wait, there's more.
How about the other receiver George Pickens, who I think
had more success picking buggers out of his nose than
he did in this game.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
He coming over from Pittsburgh. Three catches for thirty yards.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
You know what, that makes him a jar just a
receiver and you can find those guys anywhere also.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
But I want to go back to celm Cede.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Limb is supposed to be more right, and I don't
want to live in a word.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
You can't criticize him. But as the team loss, I
trust him. How would you trust him?
Speaker 2 (10:42):
How many times the sports that we've seen when players
get the yips, sometimes they never recover from that.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
That was a yips game. Yip beity, yippity yipity yep,
it was a yip game.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Right, don't let that distract you, all right, that the
coaches out there there has a team. This was am
when it mattered. He shrank, right, he shrank. He was
the guy who.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Was wide open.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Hero down four touchdown, you have the lead pressure on
the Eagles, and he tripped over his own kid.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
You know it's like if you ever go to Times Square,
you know.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Those rip off spider Man, rip off characters, like a
rip off spider Man that tripped over his own cape
in Times Square in a photo thing trying to you know,
hustle people for money, like do better be better. That's
the whole job description. When you're being paid to be
the superhero. It's like when you make a movie and
the movie tanks. Do you do you say, well, we
(11:40):
all were bad in the movie, or do you say
with the headliner of the movie sucked. You don't blame
the extras in the movie. Like, that's not how any
of this works where you It bothers me when it's
money time, poof, poof. This is the Cowboys. The stars
vanished and now it's not all on CD though. We
got to pass the buck over to Dak Prescott. How
(12:04):
did you grade Dak Prescott's performance for the Cowboys?
Speaker 1 (12:08):
So he wasn't in.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
The very front of the vomit comet that was ceedee lamb.
However he was riding shotgun in the vomit comet. Dak
Prescott now drops aside he was an NGNGE not good
enough performer. NGNGE not good enough. This was supposed to
be and it is a measuring sticky. Now we assume
(12:34):
the position that the Cowboys are not going to be
a playoff team. They weren't a playoff team last year.
They have a worse team this year than they did
last year. But that's the assumption. You can change assumptions
by your performance. The Eagles and Cowboys this is an
nfcast grudge match which started with one of the key
Eagle defenders ejected for spitting a nice juicy lougie the
(12:57):
direction of Dak Prescott, who had spin on the ground
and some Eagle fans.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
We'll see Derek spit.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
We'll talk more about this later, but Dak spit on
the ground and they think that's equal to a loogie
being spit by Jalen Carter on Dak Prescott. But in
terms of Dak's performance, I would have rather had some
phlegm in the second and a half.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
That would have done better.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Right, And so what Dak if you look at this
as a measuring state, in the second half, he also shriveled,
shriveled up. Now he didn't get help from Ceedee Lamb.
But at halftime, as I was observing, you could say, hey,
Dak was fine.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
I wouldn't say he was great. In the first half.
Would you say it was great. I wouldn't say it
was great. I thought he was fine. Uh, he wasn't terrible.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
He passed the test. You know, the last person that
graduates medical school they call a doctor. You know, they
still call him the doctor. That Dak Prescott wasn't killing
the Cowboys, he wasn't killing the Eagles. But then in
the second half, it was how low can you go?
It was how low can you go? In the second half?
(14:01):
How bad was it? It was cover your eyes bad?
Dakota after halftime was nine of seventeen passing. He completed
a little less than fifty five percent of his passes,
averaged three point five yards per pass. That's I mean,
che my god. That is a referendum on Dak Prescott.
(14:23):
And this is one of the arguments that Dak Prescott,
you know, he got paid and Jerry Jones has gotten
played because he's a fraud.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Dak Prescott. He's a phony quarterback that puts.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Up numbers against god awful teams and then went against
better teams. He doesn't elevate people, and he doesn't rise
to the challenge and all that.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
And that's the argument.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
And if you had done a blind side by side
examination and said, okay, here's quarterback A and here's quarterback B,
and their performance in the sec and a half, you
would have said, was that Anthony Richardson, or I mean
that that's Dak Press, that's an Antony richards In. The
stat line outside of he didn't quit and take himself
(15:03):
out of the game like that gutless Anthony Richardson, or
the other thing is that he said, well he didn't
turn the ball over. But you know, Richardson the definition
of bad losing your job to Daniel Jones, but just
a scattershot, short arming throws, totally lost in the moment,
and Jerry Jones could have gone out and gotten a
guy from the XFL to do all that. Dak Prescott
(15:26):
in the second half, you know, he was like, if
you didn't didn't hear the game or see the game,
Dak was like one of those iPhones, you know, one
of those older iPhones where the battery says forty percent
and then you open up your Instagram app and then
it dies within a second. As soon as you open
it up. You're like, well, so he said forty percent,
but it died.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Why did it die?
Speaker 2 (15:41):
It said percent supposed to last a well, well no,
it died right away because the battery is defective, and
you're like, what the hell happened here? Just shut down Dak.
It turned into a pumpkin after halftime, and he did
get some help. Ceedee Lamb did help him by dropping
a pass. But even if that catch had been made
by Ceedee Lamb, it still was not a wonderful second
(16:03):
half performance by Dak Prescott. All right, Now, last word,
So we had celebrities in the house. NBC, if you
were watching the broadcast, made sure to shove this down
our throats. Were you surprised that Michael Jordan, the greatest
basketball player ever, Michael Jordan.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Was at the Eagles game?
Speaker 5 (16:23):
All right?
Speaker 2 (16:23):
So I was, I was surprised. I'm not gonna stay
here say I wasn't surprised mj showing up at an
NFL opener. It's kind of like going in your backyard
and seeing a unicorn. You don't expect to see a
unicorn in your backyard. You don't think you'd see a
unicorn because unicorns aren't real, But there's a unicorn in
your backyard. Like this is the living legend, the basketball
(16:45):
equivalent of a five star general, Michael Jordan, and he
doesn't just pop out for any Tom Dick and Harry
sporting event. And mainly the main reason I'm surprised is
because he's a recluse in terms of the sports world.
He doesn't need to ever leave his mansion, his casa.
He doesn't need to. Like Jordan's about his public as
(17:06):
a hermit crab in a titanium shell. Right, He's richer
than rich, He's oligark rich. And yet here we are.
This is MJ's second football game this week. As he
sat through I think he left at halftime, the Bill
Belichick debacle for his Tar Hills getting squashed flatter than
a soda can under a steamroller.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
That's two games in one week. You know. The odds
on that, the odds on that.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
That's like the Pope making it back to back Knights
at a dive bar down the street from the Vatican, Right,
you wouldn't expect to see that either. So Jordan was
at the game as a guest we are told of
Jalen Hurts. So then it makes a little more sense,
because this wasn't just MJ saying I got to watch.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
A football game, you know.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Wasn't that you wouldn't feel nostalgic for some pig skin.
Wasn't that at all? He was there as a Jalen
Hurts VIP. It's all part of that Jordan brand mafia.
Hurts is a decide a disciple of Michael Jordan. And
then with Jalen Hurts hitting the Jordan shrug after one
of the touchdowns that he scored, that was pure Hollywood.
(18:09):
It's almost like that was scripted, made for TV. You
had the NBC cameras drooling like a dog over at
t Bone. They're all excited at all horny because they
get to show Jordan he got a no show job
like Kawhi has. Jordan will be a spewing cliches on
NBC when the basketball season starts here before long man,
it's already September, so the season starts around Halloween, so
it'll be here before you know it. But it was
(18:30):
a nod to the goat by Jalen Hurts there and.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
That was the moment there.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
So anyway, it is the Ben Mahler Show. If you'd
like to be part of this, it is interactive. You

seven ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
That's eight seven seven nine nine six six three six line.
As we started out.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Discussing Ceedee Lamb, the one hundred million dollar receiver for
the Dallas Cowboys who had multiple drop passes in key
molments in the fourth quarter as Dallas had opportunities to
take the lead with just a few minutes left in
the game, and Ceedee Lamb did the thing, you can't
do it at the time.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
He can't do it.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
He fed up, he goofed up, he screwed up at
the end of that game big time. And the head
coach of the Cowboys going right into the sports cliche
website sportscliche dot com, which I've sent stuff to over
the years, and oh, yeah, that's a team lost. I
trust Cede Lamb after that performance. Why would you trust
Ceedee Lamb? Like seriously, Oh, because he's got one hundred
(23:20):
million dollar contract. Well that's great. How did that help him?
You wipe your ass with that one hundred million dollar contract?
I mean, my god, come on, now takes wrong with you?
Speaker 1 (23:31):
It is just ass.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Yeah, I should have that absolutely, Scrooge writes in He
says he likes to brag he's in the young demo.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
But eventually he'll be in the old demo if he's lucky.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
He says, hey, this game showed the truth Ben and
what to always expect of Cede Lamb, overpaid, over rated,
and it will always come up with the big drop
during clutch moments. Well, we have seen that over the
years from other Dallas Cowboy receivers. Not the dogpile on.
We have a problem again.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Financially, I was fine.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
I had the Cowboys plus the points, so on Benny
versus the penny the little appetizer. We did the games
for Thursday and Friday on the show with Looney and
I liked the Cowboys, and the game actually went kind
of the way I thought it would, except the Cowboys
actually had a shot to win the game. I didn't
think they would have a shot to win the game
at the end, they did. Timothy says spot on on
why Ceedee Lamb should be criticized. Jerry had a little lamb.
(24:25):
That's right, Femi, the number one uber each driver the
Twin Cities and friend of the show, and he is
giving us a global He's going back to his home
country and supported the show and made kids wear pajamas
and hold up my sign. There was very, very kind
of Femy. But Femi writes in that's a great photo,
by the way, I says, so Ben who invited Jordan
(24:48):
to the college game? His fellow recluse Belichick. And one
more thing, Ben, who's your pick for the super Bowl?
That's Benny versus the Penny territory, Femy. But Jordan, I
believe North Carolina is a Jordan brand school. It has
to be right. I don't really pay that close attention
to that stuff. I'm not a sneakerhead. I would just
(25:09):
assume that. I can't imagine they wouldn't be so that's
likely why Jordan was at the at the college game.
He's got his tentacles deep inside the University of North Carolina.
My father in law lives in part of the year,
lives in Wilmington, North Carolina, which is where Jordan lives.
Near Wilmington, North Carolina, which is where Jordan went to
(25:30):
high school.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
So I told the story a while back.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Last year I went to to see the father in law,
the in laws, and so we drove over in the rain.
We drove over, obviously well Jordan's high school, and I
was like, oh man, this must be must be some
high school. This is the high school where he got
supposedly got cut from a team, even though I guess
that's a bull crap story. Anyway, So I went over
to the high school and it was like brand spanker new,
(25:54):
like Nike had just redone the whole damn school. Like
it was nothing like it was when Jordan went there.
I guarantee you it was like.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
New buildings here. And knew it. It was a.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Wild Anyway, Mark the full name guy from the Oregon
Trail Rights and he says, well, mister Schadenfreude, you really
hate to see others succeed your remarks about Jalen Hurts
scoring a touchdown as proof of that.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
What did I say that was incorrect about what you're
hearing things? You are hearing voices in your head marked
the full name guy. I merely pointed out that, and
we were happy about this on the show.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
We said on one of the Draftking spots, we said, listen,
Jalen Hurts anytime touchdown, that's the way to go. You
could have done Jalen Hurts first touchdown. That would have
worked for the Eagles as well. But Jalen Hurts scoring
a touchdown, He says, that's prove in fact, I think
the entire sports industry is filled with people just like you. Yes,
(26:47):
people that watch sports and then react to sports. Rob
the Goatman says, upon further investigation, there appears to have
been a second spinner from the Grassy Knoll.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Yeah. I liked it.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Everyone's like, well, Jalen Carter's fine because Dak Prescott spit first.
Speaker 5 (27:02):
You gotta give him that.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Hawk, dude, and spit all that night. People come on,
I'm thinking, like, like, Dak Prescott spit on the ground
and Jalen Carter spit on Dak Prescott's is there is
there a difference or no? Is that all the same?
I don't know. I don't believe we are going to
do We're going to talk about that coming up a
little bit more. We'll play some sound what night, Rob
(27:25):
wrights In says.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
He says, Jalen Carter doing his best mallar Hawk loogie
and uh and pression.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
Ope.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Yeah, we played that drop quite a bit, quite a bit.
Who else do we have to see page Dan, We'll
skip over that one. We are on X at Ben
Maler if you want to be part, and we will
take your.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Calls as well.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
At eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox The Game
within the Game Thursday Night, which is always fun. We
spend so much time analyzing these call them island games
because they're standalone games on the island on the ice, right,
and this is one of those games. It's kind of
a bigger deal as the first game of the year
(28:04):
and all that stuff, and you're pretty excited at halftime.
Game was high scoring and then the second half not
so much. But it ended up almost deady, which is
not a good sign for the in terms of the
statuet and the scoreboard. It's not like this was a
domination situation where the Cowboys just kind of snuck back
into the game. The Cowboys actually had more yards than
(28:25):
the Eagles. Cowboys had five more yards. I know it's
not that big a difference, but you'd think the Eagles
are much better than the Cowboys. Cowboys had more first downs,
Dallas converted a higher percentage of their third.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Down plays in this game. And the one.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Thing that stand a couple of things that stand out,
but in the red zone. The Cowboys were two of
three in the red zone and the Eagles were three
of three as they brought back the most unstoppable play
in all of sport, the tushy pushy, which I'm very
happy that they have kept that name because when they
started they being the Philadelphi Eagles, when they started doing
(29:06):
the touch push and people were calling it the touch
push and the touchy push and all that, they were offended.
They said, well, this is not right. You know, what
about the women, what about the children? Like women don't
enjoy that, and children don't enjoy that. I think it's
a fun thing to say, and so they were trying
to change it. They were trying to change the name
of it, they were, well, we're going to call it
not we'll call it the brotherly shove. But now the Eagles,
(29:26):
because they're getting money, because I think the people over there,
dude wipes, decided to send some money their way. So
because of that, they're like, oh, now we're going to
fully embrace the tush and they're in.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
They're in on that, so that's all. That's all it took.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Eagles also had a bunch of dope head penalties nine
penalties one hundred and ten yards for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Couple of big ones mentioned the spitting the loogie one
early on, a couple of unsportsmanlike conduct penalties.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
In the game, Eagles controlled the.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Time of possession, but in the end the game goes
the way of Philadelphi, even though the Cowboys had a
shot late in the game. Let's go to the phones,
and who's in the leadoff chair. Let's say hello Eenie Meanie,
miney Moe. Let's go to Lucky Tony. Who's in the
leadoff chair? Hello Lucky Tony. Hey man, what did the
(30:17):
Bears say when you've seen livery vamped in her birthday suit?
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Yeah? I don't I don't know.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
They're and mister ed Elway get your own and colors.
All right, thank you so Lucky Tony who people have
been asking me to play the song again from Lucky Tony,
which I thought was rather odd that you would want
to hear that again and maybe we will play that
later on Tony it.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Was, so do it just come back music later? Well
we can. We can set it up because there's another
there was another there was another song that we didn't play, right, yeah,
we never played Terry song. Terry and England sent a song,
and so well we can do a little.
Speaker 6 (30:55):
It is Friday, it is, yeah, it is.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
We'll wait till the bosses asleep, you know, go to
bed in a little bit, and then we'll we'll be
okay with that.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Let's go back to the phones and any meenie miney,
mall catch a caller by their name. Let's go to
Andre in the Commonwealth. Hello, Andre, how you doing?
Speaker 7 (31:15):
Ben good to be with you. Willis and I are
out here taking a quick little stroll outside and we're
going to get Willis back inside where he needs to be.
You can, Sam, he's fired up, he's animated. Ben. Yes,
your show is necessary for a number of reasons, but
particularly you know who's gonna make the donut? Okay for
(31:35):
the people like me that need to have donuts early
in the morning. Fit and you're talking about the overnight
and uh, you know you made a resperance. You know,
just because you eat donut doesn't mean that you happen
to be a couple of pounds overweight.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Everyone, and listen and listen. Those donuts don't just magically appear.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
It's not like you flip a switch and all of
a sudden there's donuts out there. You better give that
dog a snack right now. Okay, you better give Willis
a snack, right the man, the.
Speaker 7 (32:04):
Man in a sack of room. I'm gonna follow up.
He's gonna get a snacker room. But the donuts, and
come on, you know you're on your way to work.
You know you need that glaze donut. You know that
that extra glaze with the coffee to get you going. Frankly,
if Ceedee Lamb had stopped buying got some donuts, maybe
he would have made the plays in crunch time. You
know what I'm saying. You know you're talking about the
coach and he doesn't clamp down on the players but Ben,
(32:24):
it's his first press conference, and as you noticed, okay,
he can only do so much playing for King Jerry. Right,
you can't. You can't. You can't criticize Jerry, and you
certainly can't criticize his highly paid players. So he's walking
on tonight. Nonetheless, I thought they gave a good effort.
It was a competitive game. And all of the sky
is following stuff because Michael Parsons takes his talent to
(32:45):
Green Bay, there's mental speculation. You know, he wasn't necessarily
the best teammate.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Right, Ben, Yeah, but Andre.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Andre Andre, time out on timeout, Time out on the court,
Time out on the court.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Andre.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
You do know that anytime a star our player gets traded,
they trash the star player one hundred percent of the time.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Right, It always happens that way. Now, sometimes it is true.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
I don't know the necessarily the situation in Dallas, but
my default position is this bull crap because there this
is a popular player.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
They traded a popular player.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
And they're like, well, we gotta we gotta defend this
and we gotta defend our franchise.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
So this guy was a dope, you know.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Meanwhile, Jerry Jones offered him the contract back in April.
So if he was such a douche, why did Jerry
Jones offer him the contract? And if he had taken
the contract and not gone through his agent, he would
have signed and still be of the Cowboys.
Speaker 7 (33:37):
I mean, I agree. All I'm saying is that was
a rather stout performance from their defense. You know, they
were in that game down the stretch, whereas you know,
you look at it me personally, Dallas Cowboys drama one
on one while being the richest France team in the
entire world. I just felt that overall it was a
respectable performance when they had all these things.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
Work, it was an improved that they were helped. Both
teams were helped defensively by the weather delay, the sixty
minute delay in the third quarter. But if you watched
the first half of that game, Andre and you thought
the Cowboy defense played well in the first half, and
I mean, we must have been watching something totally different.
The Eagles scored points on their first four drives, they
(34:19):
scored touchdowns on their first three possessions.
Speaker 5 (34:22):
Of the game.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
The Cowboys defense was getting absolutely slayed by the Philadelphia
Eagles offense to begin that game.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
So in the second half.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
It was obviously a little different because the weather delay
and all that, but it was a domination situation. At halftime,
both teams were doing well offensively.
Speaker 7 (34:41):
Indeed, indeed, I have to do a better job of
checking in with Benny versus the Penny in order to
get the insights so I can have both halves. And
I feel like I, you know, summer right, the second half, pretty.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
Good, Ben, you did? You did the Eagles had? The
Eagles were.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
They were over two hundred yards of offense in the
first half. They were on pace to have almost four
hundred and fifty yards of offense, and then they totally.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Just stopped in the second half. They didn't do anything.
But at halftime they were doing very well, very very well.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
All right, yes, Joy, enjoy your walk, all right, I
gotta go. I gotta you know a lot of I
love DraftKings. I love to talk about DraftKings and the
company make sure that I tell you about draftings, and
I'm very happy about that. So we'll do a little
bit of that. We'll take your calls. The whole thing
here is the who am I game? Though, this is
where I pretend to be somebody else else.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
We call it the who am I game?
Speaker 6 (35:27):
Who?
Speaker 2 (35:28):
And here it is Jalen Carter of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Congratulations to him. He became the fastest player to be ejected,
the fastest ejection in an NFL game since twenty five,
when I was ejected before the game even started.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
All right, that is the who am I game? Question?
Speaker 2 (35:52):
So Jalen Carter of the Eagles, who was kicked out
before the first snap from scrimmage for spinning a loogie.
Carter the fastest dejection in an NFL game since way
back in twenty ozh five was barely alive back in five,
and that is when.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
I was ejected before the game even started. Who am I?
That the question? The answer will get to it. We'll
do it next.

Speaker 2 (37:38):
Game? And this is where I pretend to be somebody
else and blatant attempt to try to get you to
listen a little bit longer. So Jalen Carter of the
Gee l Ego became the fastest player ejected in an
NFL game since way back in twenty five when I
was ejected before a game even started, before a game
(38:01):
even started, that is the question.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
What is the answer? Justin is going with Pee Herman,
He says, did, and then he thought I said something
I didn't say, Justin, But I think that's where your
mind is, so that's probably why you thought that.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
Larry D says it's helmet Man who was ejected from
the coliseum for selling counterfeit autographs. Super Marcus Steve says,
you are Ben Maller excited that football season's here so
he doesn't have to discuss the Dodgers being swept by
the Pirates.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
Yes, for the first time a decade. Yeah, people are
like hitting me up, like I listen, the Dodgers banned
me from going to the games when they got Otani,
Like they don't want me out there. If they lose,
that's fine. I'm not out there. I'd like they win,
but I'm not.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
Really losing any sleepover the Dodgers have been an underachieving team.
I like these guys like super Market Steve, they don't listen.
I've been taking shots at the Dodgers for months because
I think they're pathetic the way they played baseball this season,
they had a couple of hot streaks and other than
that they've been pretty mediagal. And these guys are well,
I can't believe the Dodgers. They're like, Pilot, You don't
(39:03):
you're so you're admitting you're a moron. Uh fer Dog,
says modern day Sinatra. Lucky Tony is the answer, Phyllis Diller.
That's a relevant name. From Bobby in Florida.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
Who else do we have?
Speaker 2 (39:15):
The late Great Bobby Knight from The Goat Man, Elon
Musk from Femi and Dama con Sue the boy named
Sue who blocked.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
Me Scrooge in the Bay Area. Who else do we have?
Speaker 2 (39:25):
Chewbacca from alf the Alien, o Pinter Kate Graham, who's
thirty six to day from Late Night Drug Tester, He
sapped Choi from Mister Nice Guy, David Vassegas by Shannon

Speaker 1 (39:36):

Speaker 2 (39:40):
It's also not Adam Pacman Jones guest by Larry and Nashville.

Welcome, It's the one and only, the original recipe Ben
Malor Show, and a very happy, happy, happy, happy Friday
to you. It's the fifth day of September. And before
we tell you what's coming up here in hour number one,
couple of things I need your help on I need
your help to follow the Fifth Hour Podcast. Now today's
(00:22):
episode of the Fifth Hour Podcast, we go back in
time before I worked at Fox Sports Radio, I actually
did a midday talk show.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
I was a young kid. I had a midday talk
show called the.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Ben and Dave Show way back and I went down
memory lane with my first radio partner that I did
a daytime show with, named Dave Smith.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
He came on, He's got his own podcast. We had a.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Pretty popular midday show way back in the day, and
so Dave came on my podcast here the Fifth Hour,
we reminisced about that. Also, Benny Versus the Penny now
is on a global platform. Wants you to watch that
this weekend. It's on Benny Vspenny at Benny Vspenny on YouTube,
and you should also be following Ben Mahler Show on YouTube.
(01:05):
But that's Benny Versus the Penny, our new home very
excited about that, so please support the little pirate ship
there now Here in hour one is it in bounds
to blame ceedee Lamb for the Cowboys loss or out
of bounds? Also, how did you grade Dak Prescott's performance
as the Eagles beat the Cowboys? And were you surprised
that Michael Jordan, the greatest of all time showed up
(01:28):
at the Eagles game? Come on, he's not an Eagles
fan or a Cowboy fan. We'll talk about all that
and more right now. Give it up for our number one.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Jerry had a little lamb and that lamb came up
really small when it mattered. Most welcome inm not beginning
of another night of the Ben Mahler Show.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
We are in the air.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Everywares we rub elbows, return and tune and drop the
whole thing coast to coast, portal.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
The border and beyond.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
On the mast and monolithically powerful microphones of fs are
am monating live from the down, the touchdown, the back
of the end zone from the world famous Fox Sports
Radio studios, as approved by Spaccoli. Now, Spaccoli told me
(02:27):
I'm not gonna be a fake p one. I'm gonna
stay up late because of the weather delay in Philly.
The game ended late, so I'm gonna stay up late.
So we welcome in Spacoli. Who knows that hey tire rack.
For over forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers
find the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
ship fast end freeback by free road hazard protection, with
(02:49):
convenient installation options like multile tire installation tire i raq
dot com the way tire buying should be. And right
off the bat, I've been told by my crew here,
they said, you know, you must address the lunatics, the
wack of doodles that are on social media that are
they really think they programmed the show? They think they
(03:12):
programmed the show. So a number of these nut jobs
get very upset. So out of a courtesy, I will
send out if you follow the show on x it's
kind of an interactive situation. We do this in real time.
If your podcast listener just fast forward through this part even.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Though we're doing this live.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
So normally what happens is I will send out right
before the show begins.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
I will send out a little menu, you know, the.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Soup of the day we have on the dessert menu
today and I will send that out as a way
for you to have somebody.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
To look forward to. Dear, like God, it's good, like.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
You actually look forward to this crap. And then sometimes
I'm so busy I don't have time to do that.
You know, I staff of thousands that work on the show,
being the overnight guy, so I did not have a
chance to send that out, but I will do that later.
I'm efforting. That is that we're supposed to say, efforting,
I think everyting. Yes, yes, according to my friend Lareda,
we're efforting to get that out. So we will have
(04:07):
that out within the hour. If you're listening in real
time and listening live. But our lead this hour is
from Phildelphia. The curtain and the championship banner went up
to the rafters. There was raised the twenty twenty five
NFL season. Were you watching, well, probably probably, I mean
(04:30):
just had to get a really good rating, really good rating.
Cowboys were involved, and so you had Jalen Hurts. We
told you yesterday and one of the many Draft Kings
commercials that Jalen Hurts scoring a touchdown seemed like a
good idea to us. He did not only one, but
two touchdowns, so Jalen Hurts rushing for two scores. The
Eagles with stood a rare although not quite as rare
(04:54):
as it should be, weather delay, and they needed a
late stop to beat the Cowboys twenty four to twenty
game ending early in the overnight hours in Philadelphia. There
is the sixty five minute delay. A wild start to
the NFL season. Looked like the game would be in
the forties in the first half. The Eagles led twenty
(05:17):
four to twenty with four forty four to go in
the third court. So fours across the board, fours across
the board.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
And then the yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
And then the game was delayed I mentioned for sixty
five minutes because of lightning in the area. We'll get
to that some point later on in the show around
Lincoln Financial Field. So the game ended up just after midnight.
I love these people that are used to working during
the day. They get so freaked out. Oh my god,
Mike Turko, I thought it was gonna have a heart attack.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
On NBC. It was, Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
The game inded after mid no Oh my god, Hey Mike,
there's people up overnight, you dope. They work the overnight shift,
You moron, you might want to acknowledge the people that
drive trucks and work in factories and make donuts. So
when you fat ass goes to the donut shop, you
can eat a donut in the morning. They're making them overnight. Okay,
he says, Oh, I can't believe, but we ended it
after midnight.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Holy crap.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Anyway, the Cowboys had a chance. They had multiple chances.
Now dak Press got through an incomplete pass on a
fourth down and three.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
That was the.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Final blow with one fifty four to go, the last gasp.
The better story, though, is in the losing locker room.
The better story is in the losing locker room.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
We had the.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Debut of Shotzi or Shanty Brian Schottenheimer. He took over
as the coach. He's the latest sock puppet for Jerry Jones.
And there's this story within the story here. If you
saw the game, I believe you know where we're going
with this. So many pointing the finger at CD Lamb
(06:49):
and that's the Dallas pass catcher. In fact, even Ceedee
Lamb was pointing the fingers at who was pounding his
chest like at the end of the game.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Kind of Hey, blame me. It was my fault. Bad
job by me.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
He melted down in the fourth quarter of this game
with multiple drop passes, including a backbreaker for the Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
So let us discuss is.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
It inbounds or is it out of bounds to blame
Ceedee Lamb for the Cowboys loss? So is it inbounds
to blame Ceedee Lamb for the Cowboys loss or out
of bounds? So my thoughts on this, I've got Marvel Comics, iPhones,
and Hermit Crab and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to make cotton Candy,
(07:32):
which is about as tough as the Cowboys defense was
early in that game. Now, a better second half for
Dallas defensively, But it's not about that. This is about
the story within the story. Cee d Lamb hole Lee
crap Wow. Now, he did have seven catches for one
hundred and ten yards. That's a good stat line if
you play fantasy football. But in terms of the making
(07:56):
a play.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
When it mattered, he did not.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Here is the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, Brian Schottenheimer.
Brian Schottenheimer, commenting on the night of Ceedee Lamb, take
it I don't.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
Worry about See, Lamb City's gonna be fine. What a
great player. Again, this was a This was a team defeat,
and we own that. You know, we understand where we
can go as a football team. We understand. I love
the competition. I thought guys competed their butts off. I
thought that was great. But we're all about winning, and
we didn't win tonight, and so therefore it's not good enough.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
If I was Jared Jones, I'd fire Shottenheimer right now.
I'd say, all right, you're not allowed to go back
to Dallas.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
You're a dope. Uh No, how about some accountability.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
How about your guy, your mister one hundred million dollar man?
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Fed up?
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Why can't we say that, Oh my god, what was
it gonna rain down lightning like it did in Philadelphia
there when the game was delayed. If you say that,
this is the stuff about sports that just drives me insane,
Like they just think you're a moron. The customer is dope.
You can't acknowledge what everyone sees. Right, you're the one
(09:05):
hundred million dollar man. You're supposed to be the difference maker.
It's like Marvel comics. I learned this from my friend
Spider Man. With great power comes great responsibility. You're one
hundred million dollar receiver.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
That means when.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
The ball's in the air and it hits your hands
in the fourth quarter, you've gotta make the play.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
You don't get to play well.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
I had seven catches for one hundred and ten yards
card and your coach can defend your Well, it's a
team loss.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Empty.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Those are empty calories. They're empty stats by Ceedee Lamb
and Jerry Jones Cowboys. They pay this guy to be
a special ingredient. Not everyone is treated the same.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
We know that is. Oh, it's a meritocracy. No, it's not.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Everyone's treated a little bit differently. Right, the stars get
a little more wiggle room. This is the thing. You
get one hundred million dollars that is supposed to separate
rate you from a guy on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Okay, any jibbrodi.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Can go out there and drop the ball in crunch time.
That's not one hundred million dollars receiver. But wait, there's more.
How about the other receiver George Pickens, who I think
had more success picking buggers out of his nose than
he did in this game.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
He coming over from Pittsburgh. Three catches for thirty yards.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
You know what, that makes him a jar just a
receiver and you can find those guys anywhere also.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
But I want to go back to celm Cede.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Limb is supposed to be more right, and I don't
want to live in a word.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
You can't criticize him. But as the team loss, I
trust him. How would you trust him?
Speaker 2 (10:42):
How many times the sports that we've seen when players
get the yips, sometimes they never recover from that.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
That was a yips game. Yip beity, yippity yipity yep,
it was a yip game.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Right, don't let that distract you, all right, that the
coaches out there there has a team. This was am
when it mattered. He shrank, right, he shrank. He was
the guy who.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Was wide open.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Hero down four touchdown, you have the lead pressure on
the Eagles, and he tripped over his own kid.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
You know it's like if you ever go to Times Square,
you know.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Those rip off spider Man, rip off characters, like a
rip off spider Man that tripped over his own cape
in Times Square in a photo thing trying to you know,
hustle people for money, like do better be better. That's
the whole job description. When you're being paid to be
the superhero. It's like when you make a movie and
the movie tanks. Do you do you say, well, we
(11:40):
all were bad in the movie, or do you say
with the headliner of the movie sucked. You don't blame
the extras in the movie. Like, that's not how any
of this works where you It bothers me when it's
money time, poof, poof. This is the Cowboys. The stars
vanished and now it's not all on CD though. We
got to pass the buck over to Dak Prescott. How
(12:04):
did you grade Dak Prescott's performance for the Cowboys?
Speaker 1 (12:08):
So he wasn't in.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
The very front of the vomit comet that was ceedee lamb.
However he was riding shotgun in the vomit comet. Dak
Prescott now drops aside he was an NGNGE not good
enough performer. NGNGE not good enough. This was supposed to
be and it is a measuring sticky. Now we assume
(12:34):
the position that the Cowboys are not going to be
a playoff team. They weren't a playoff team last year.
They have a worse team this year than they did
last year. But that's the assumption. You can change assumptions
by your performance. The Eagles and Cowboys this is an
nfcast grudge match which started with one of the key
Eagle defenders ejected for spitting a nice juicy lougie the
(12:57):
direction of Dak Prescott, who had spin on the ground
and some Eagle fans.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
We'll see Derek spit.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
We'll talk more about this later, but Dak spit on
the ground and they think that's equal to a loogie
being spit by Jalen Carter on Dak Prescott. But in
terms of Dak's performance, I would have rather had some
phlegm in the second and a half.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
That would have done better.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Right, And so what Dak if you look at this
as a measuring state, in the second half, he also shriveled,
shriveled up. Now he didn't get help from Ceedee Lamb.
But at halftime, as I was observing, you could say, hey,
Dak was fine.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
I wouldn't say he was great. In the first half.
Would you say it was great. I wouldn't say it
was great. I thought he was fine. Uh, he wasn't terrible.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
He passed the test. You know, the last person that
graduates medical school they call a doctor. You know, they
still call him the doctor. That Dak Prescott wasn't killing
the Cowboys, he wasn't killing the Eagles. But then in
the second half, it was how low can you go?
It was how low can you go? In the second half?
(14:01):
How bad was it? It was cover your eyes bad?
Dakota after halftime was nine of seventeen passing. He completed
a little less than fifty five percent of his passes,
averaged three point five yards per pass. That's I mean,
che my god. That is a referendum on Dak Prescott.
(14:23):
And this is one of the arguments that Dak Prescott,
you know, he got paid and Jerry Jones has gotten
played because he's a fraud.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Dak Prescott. He's a phony quarterback that puts.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Up numbers against god awful teams and then went against
better teams. He doesn't elevate people, and he doesn't rise
to the challenge and all that.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
And that's the argument.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
And if you had done a blind side by side
examination and said, okay, here's quarterback A and here's quarterback B,
and their performance in the sec and a half, you
would have said, was that Anthony Richardson, or I mean
that that's Dak Press, that's an Antony richards In. The
stat line outside of he didn't quit and take himself
(15:03):
out of the game like that gutless Anthony Richardson, or
the other thing is that he said, well he didn't
turn the ball over. But you know, Richardson the definition
of bad losing your job to Daniel Jones, but just
a scattershot, short arming throws, totally lost in the moment,
and Jerry Jones could have gone out and gotten a
guy from the XFL to do all that. Dak Prescott
(15:26):
in the second half, you know, he was like, if
you didn't didn't hear the game or see the game,
Dak was like one of those iPhones, you know, one
of those older iPhones where the battery says forty percent
and then you open up your Instagram app and then
it dies within a second. As soon as you open
it up. You're like, well, so he said forty percent,
but it died.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Why did it die?
Speaker 2 (15:41):
It said percent supposed to last a well, well no,
it died right away because the battery is defective, and
you're like, what the hell happened here? Just shut down Dak.
It turned into a pumpkin after halftime, and he did
get some help. Ceedee Lamb did help him by dropping
a pass. But even if that catch had been made
by Ceedee Lamb, it still was not a wonderful second
(16:03):
half performance by Dak Prescott. All right, Now, last word,
So we had celebrities in the house. NBC, if you
were watching the broadcast, made sure to shove this down
our throats. Were you surprised that Michael Jordan, the greatest
basketball player ever, Michael Jordan.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Was at the Eagles game?
Speaker 5 (16:23):
All right?
Speaker 2 (16:23):
So I was, I was surprised. I'm not gonna stay
here say I wasn't surprised mj showing up at an
NFL opener. It's kind of like going in your backyard
and seeing a unicorn. You don't expect to see a
unicorn in your backyard. You don't think you'd see a
unicorn because unicorns aren't real, But there's a unicorn in
your backyard. Like this is the living legend, the basketball
(16:45):
equivalent of a five star general, Michael Jordan, and he
doesn't just pop out for any Tom Dick and Harry
sporting event. And mainly the main reason I'm surprised is
because he's a recluse in terms of the sports world.
He doesn't need to ever leave his mansion, his casa.
He doesn't need to. Like Jordan's about his public as
(17:06):
a hermit crab in a titanium shell. Right, He's richer
than rich, He's oligark rich. And yet here we are.
This is MJ's second football game this week. As he
sat through I think he left at halftime, the Bill
Belichick debacle for his Tar Hills getting squashed flatter than
a soda can under a steamroller.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
That's two games in one week. You know. The odds
on that, the odds on that.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
That's like the Pope making it back to back Knights
at a dive bar down the street from the Vatican, Right,
you wouldn't expect to see that either. So Jordan was
at the game as a guest we are told of
Jalen Hurts. So then it makes a little more sense,
because this wasn't just MJ saying I got to watch.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
A football game, you know.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Wasn't that you wouldn't feel nostalgic for some pig skin.
Wasn't that at all? He was there as a Jalen
Hurts VIP. It's all part of that Jordan brand mafia.
Hurts is a decide a disciple of Michael Jordan. And
then with Jalen Hurts hitting the Jordan shrug after one
of the touchdowns that he scored, that was pure Hollywood.
(18:09):
It's almost like that was scripted, made for TV. You
had the NBC cameras drooling like a dog over at
t Bone. They're all excited at all horny because they
get to show Jordan he got a no show job
like Kawhi has. Jordan will be a spewing cliches on
NBC when the basketball season starts here before long man,
it's already September, so the season starts around Halloween, so
it'll be here before you know it. But it was
(18:30):
a nod to the goat by Jalen Hurts there and.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
That was the moment there.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
So anyway, it is the Ben Mahler Show. If you'd

Speaker 1 (21:55):
I've been getting email from.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Listeners in Australia, in England, some guy who's a military dope.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Well, not dope, but well he's not.
Speaker 2 (22:04):

Speaker 1 (22:29):
The TV show.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Back to it all right, back to it and also
if you want to hitteract with the show eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
That's eight seven seven nine nine six six three six line.
As we started out.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Discussing Ceedee Lamb, the one hundred million dollar receiver for
the Dallas Cowboys who had multiple drop passes in key
molments in the fourth quarter as Dallas had opportunities to
take the lead with just a few minutes left in
the game, and Ceedee Lamb did the thing, you can't
do it at the time.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
He can't do it.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
He fed up, he goofed up, he screwed up at
the end of that game big time. And the head
coach of the Cowboys going right into the sports cliche
website sportscliche dot com, which I've sent stuff to over
the years, and oh, yeah, that's a team lost. I
trust Cede Lamb after that performance. Why would you trust
Ceedee Lamb? Like seriously, Oh, because he's got one hundred
(23:20):
million dollar contract. Well that's great. How did that help him?
You wipe your ass with that one hundred million dollar contract?
I mean, my god, come on, now takes wrong with you?
Speaker 1 (23:31):
It is just ass.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Yeah, I should have that absolutely, Scrooge writes in He
says he likes to brag he's in the young demo.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
But eventually he'll be in the old demo if he's lucky.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
He says, hey, this game showed the truth Ben and
what to always expect of Cede Lamb, overpaid, over rated,
and it will always come up with the big drop
during clutch moments. Well, we have seen that over the
years from other Dallas Cowboy receivers. Not the dogpile on.
We have a problem again.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Financially, I was fine.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
I had the Cowboys plus the points, so on Benny
versus the penny the little appetizer. We did the games
for Thursday and Friday on the show with Looney and
I liked the Cowboys, and the game actually went kind
of the way I thought it would, except the Cowboys
actually had a shot to win the game. I didn't
think they would have a shot to win the game
at the end, they did. Timothy says spot on on
why Ceedee Lamb should be criticized. Jerry had a little lamb.
(24:25):
That's right, Femi, the number one uber each driver the
Twin Cities and friend of the show, and he is
giving us a global He's going back to his home
country and supported the show and made kids wear pajamas
and hold up my sign. There was very, very kind
of Femy. But Femi writes in that's a great photo,
by the way, I says, so Ben who invited Jordan
(24:48):
to the college game? His fellow recluse Belichick. And one
more thing, Ben, who's your pick for the super Bowl?
That's Benny versus the Penny territory, Femy. But Jordan, I
believe North Carolina is a Jordan brand school. It has
to be right. I don't really pay that close attention
to that stuff. I'm not a sneakerhead. I would just
(25:09):
assume that. I can't imagine they wouldn't be so that's
likely why Jordan was at the at the college game.
He's got his tentacles deep inside the University of North Carolina.
My father in law lives in part of the year,
lives in Wilmington, North Carolina, which is where Jordan lives.
Near Wilmington, North Carolina, which is where Jordan went to
(25:30):
high school.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
So I told the story a while back.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Last year I went to to see the father in law,
the in laws, and so we drove over in the rain.
We drove over, obviously well Jordan's high school, and I
was like, oh man, this must be must be some
high school. This is the high school where he got
supposedly got cut from a team, even though I guess
that's a bull crap story. Anyway, So I went over
to the high school and it was like brand spanker new,
(25:54):
like Nike had just redone the whole damn school. Like
it was nothing like it was when Jordan went there.
I guarantee you it was like.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
New buildings here. And knew it. It was a.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Wild Anyway, Mark the full name guy from the Oregon
Trail Rights and he says, well, mister Schadenfreude, you really
hate to see others succeed your remarks about Jalen Hurts
scoring a touchdown as proof of that.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
What did I say that was incorrect about what you're
hearing things? You are hearing voices in your head marked
the full name guy. I merely pointed out that, and
we were happy about this on the show.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
We said on one of the Draftking spots, we said, listen,
Jalen Hurts anytime touchdown, that's the way to go. You
could have done Jalen Hurts first touchdown. That would have
worked for the Eagles as well. But Jalen Hurts scoring
a touchdown, He says, that's prove in fact, I think
the entire sports industry is filled with people just like you. Yes,
(26:47):
people that watch sports and then react to sports. Rob
the Goatman says, upon further investigation, there appears to have
been a second spinner from the Grassy Knoll.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Yeah. I liked it.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Everyone's like, well, Jalen Carter's fine because Dak Prescott spit first.
Speaker 5 (27:02):
You gotta give him that.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Hawk, dude, and spit all that night. People come on,
I'm thinking, like, like, Dak Prescott spit on the ground
and Jalen Carter spit on Dak Prescott's is there is
there a difference or no? Is that all the same?
I don't know. I don't believe we are going to
do We're going to talk about that coming up a
little bit more. We'll play some sound what night, Rob
(27:25):
wrights In says.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
He says, Jalen Carter doing his best mallar Hawk loogie
and uh and pression.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
Ope.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Yeah, we played that drop quite a bit, quite a bit.
Who else do we have to see page Dan, We'll
skip over that one. We are on X at Ben
Maler if you want to be part, and we will
take your.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Calls as well.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
At eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox The Game
within the Game Thursday Night, which is always fun. We
spend so much time analyzing these call them island games
because they're standalone games on the island on the ice, right,
and this is one of those games. It's kind of
a bigger deal as the first game of the year
(28:04):
and all that stuff, and you're pretty excited at halftime.
Game was high scoring and then the second half not
so much. But it ended up almost deady, which is
not a good sign for the in terms of the
statuet and the scoreboard. It's not like this was a
domination situation where the Cowboys just kind of snuck back
into the game. The Cowboys actually had more yards than
(28:25):
the Eagles. Cowboys had five more yards. I know it's
not that big a difference, but you'd think the Eagles
are much better than the Cowboys. Cowboys had more first downs,
Dallas converted a higher percentage of their third.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Down plays in this game. And the one.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Thing that stand a couple of things that stand out,
but in the red zone. The Cowboys were two of
three in the red zone and the Eagles were three
of three as they brought back the most unstoppable play
in all of sport, the tushy pushy, which I'm very
happy that they have kept that name because when they
started they being the Philadelphi Eagles, when they started doing
(29:06):
the touch push and people were calling it the touch
push and the touchy push and all that, they were offended.
They said, well, this is not right. You know, what
about the women, what about the children? Like women don't
enjoy that, and children don't enjoy that. I think it's
a fun thing to say, and so they were trying
to change it. They were trying to change the name
of it, they were, well, we're going to call it
not we'll call it the brotherly shove. But now the Eagles,
(29:26):
because they're getting money, because I think the people over there,
dude wipes, decided to send some money their way. So
because of that, they're like, oh, now we're going to
fully embrace the tush and they're in.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
They're in on that, so that's all. That's all it took.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Eagles also had a bunch of dope head penalties nine
penalties one hundred and ten yards for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Couple of big ones mentioned the spitting the loogie one
early on, a couple of unsportsmanlike conduct penalties.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
In the game, Eagles controlled the.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Time of possession, but in the end the game goes
the way of Philadelphi, even though the Cowboys had a
shot late in the game. Let's go to the phones,
and who's in the leadoff chair. Let's say hello Eenie Meanie,
miney Moe. Let's go to Lucky Tony. Who's in the
leadoff chair? Hello Lucky Tony. Hey man, what did the
(30:17):
Bears say when you've seen livery vamped in her birthday suit?
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Yeah? I don't I don't know.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
They're and mister ed Elway get your own and colors.
All right, thank you so Lucky Tony who people have
been asking me to play the song again from Lucky Tony,
which I thought was rather odd that you would want
to hear that again and maybe we will play that
later on Tony it.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Was, so do it just come back music later? Well
we can. We can set it up because there's another
there was another there was another song that we didn't play, right, yeah,
we never played Terry song. Terry and England sent a song,
and so well we can do a little.
Speaker 6 (30:55):
It is Friday, it is, yeah, it is.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
We'll wait till the bosses asleep, you know, go to
bed in a little bit, and then we'll we'll be
okay with that.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Let's go back to the phones and any meenie miney,
mall catch a caller by their name. Let's go to
Andre in the Commonwealth. Hello, Andre, how you doing?
Speaker 7 (31:15):
Ben good to be with you. Willis and I are
out here taking a quick little stroll outside and we're
going to get Willis back inside where he needs to be.
You can, Sam, he's fired up, he's animated. Ben. Yes,
your show is necessary for a number of reasons, but
particularly you know who's gonna make the donut? Okay for
(31:35):
the people like me that need to have donuts early
in the morning. Fit and you're talking about the overnight
and uh, you know you made a resperance. You know,
just because you eat donut doesn't mean that you happen
to be a couple of pounds overweight.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Everyone, and listen and listen. Those donuts don't just magically appear.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
It's not like you flip a switch and all of
a sudden there's donuts out there. You better give that
dog a snack right now. Okay, you better give Willis
a snack, right the man, the.
Speaker 7 (32:04):
Man in a sack of room. I'm gonna follow up.
He's gonna get a snacker room. But the donuts, and
come on, you know you're on your way to work.
You know you need that glaze donut. You know that
that extra glaze with the coffee to get you going. Frankly,
if Ceedee Lamb had stopped buying got some donuts, maybe
he would have made the plays in crunch time. You
know what I'm saying. You know you're talking about the
coach and he doesn't clamp down on the players but Ben,
(32:24):
it's his first press conference, and as you noticed, okay,
he can only do so much playing for King Jerry. Right,
you can't. You can't. You can't criticize Jerry, and you
certainly can't criticize his highly paid players. So he's walking
on tonight. Nonetheless, I thought they gave a good effort.
It was a competitive game. And all of the sky
is following stuff because Michael Parsons takes his talent to
(32:45):
Green Bay, there's mental speculation. You know, he wasn't necessarily
the best teammate.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Right, Ben, Yeah, but Andre.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Andre Andre, time out on timeout, Time out on the court,
Time out on the court.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Andre.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
You do know that anytime a star our player gets traded,
they trash the star player one hundred percent of the time.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Right, It always happens that way. Now, sometimes it is true.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
I don't know the necessarily the situation in Dallas, but
my default position is this bull crap because there this
is a popular player.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
They traded a popular player.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
And they're like, well, we gotta we gotta defend this
and we gotta defend our franchise.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
So this guy was a dope, you know.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Meanwhile, Jerry Jones offered him the contract back in April.
So if he was such a douche, why did Jerry
Jones offer him the contract? And if he had taken
the contract and not gone through his agent, he would
have signed and still be of the Cowboys.
Speaker 7 (33:37):
I mean, I agree. All I'm saying is that was
a rather stout performance from their defense. You know, they
were in that game down the stretch, whereas you know,
you look at it me personally, Dallas Cowboys drama one
on one while being the richest France team in the
entire world. I just felt that overall it was a
respectable performance when they had all these things.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
Work, it was an improved that they were helped. Both
teams were helped defensively by the weather delay, the sixty
minute delay in the third quarter. But if you watched
the first half of that game, Andre and you thought
the Cowboy defense played well in the first half, and
I mean, we must have been watching something totally different.
The Eagles scored points on their first four drives, they
(34:19):
scored touchdowns on their first three possessions.
Speaker 5 (34:22):
Of the game.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
The Cowboys defense was getting absolutely slayed by the Philadelphia
Eagles offense to begin that game.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
So in the second half.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
It was obviously a little different because the weather delay
and all that, but it was a domination situation. At halftime,
both teams were doing well offensively.
Speaker 7 (34:41):
Indeed, indeed, I have to do a better job of
checking in with Benny versus the Penny in order to
get the insights so I can have both halves. And
I feel like I, you know, summer right, the second half, pretty.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
Good, Ben, you did? You did the Eagles had? The
Eagles were.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
They were over two hundred yards of offense in the
first half. They were on pace to have almost four
hundred and fifty yards of offense, and then they totally.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Just stopped in the second half. They didn't do anything.
But at halftime they were doing very well, very very well.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
All right, yes, Joy, enjoy your walk, all right, I
gotta go. I gotta you know a lot of I
love DraftKings. I love to talk about DraftKings and the
company make sure that I tell you about draftings, and
I'm very happy about that. So we'll do a little
bit of that. We'll take your calls. The whole thing
here is the who am I game? Though, this is
where I pretend to be somebody else else.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
We call it the who am I game?
Speaker 6 (35:27):
Who?
Speaker 2 (35:28):
And here it is Jalen Carter of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Congratulations to him. He became the fastest player to be ejected,
the fastest ejection in an NFL game since twenty five,
when I was ejected before the game even started.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
All right, that is the who am I game? Question?
Speaker 2 (35:52):
So Jalen Carter of the Eagles, who was kicked out
before the first snap from scrimmage for spinning a loogie.
Carter the fastest dejection in an NFL game since way
back in twenty ozh five was barely alive back in five,
and that is when.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
I was ejected before the game even started. Who am I?
That the question? The answer will get to it. We'll
do it next.

to it time now for the who Am I?
Speaker 2 (37:38):
Game? And this is where I pretend to be somebody
else and blatant attempt to try to get you to
listen a little bit longer. So Jalen Carter of the
Gee l Ego became the fastest player ejected in an
NFL game since way back in twenty five when I
was ejected before a game even started, before a game
(38:01):
even started, that is the question.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
What is the answer? Justin is going with Pee Herman,
He says, did, and then he thought I said something
I didn't say, Justin, But I think that's where your
mind is, so that's probably why you thought that.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
Larry D says it's helmet Man who was ejected from
the coliseum for selling counterfeit autographs. Super Marcus Steve says,
you are Ben Maller excited that football season's here so
he doesn't have to discuss the Dodgers being swept by
the Pirates.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
Yes, for the first time a decade. Yeah, people are
like hitting me up, like I listen, the Dodgers banned
me from going to the games when they got Otani,
Like they don't want me out there. If they lose,
that's fine. I'm not out there. I'd like they win,
but I'm not.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
Really losing any sleepover the Dodgers have been an underachieving team.
I like these guys like super Market Steve, they don't listen.
I've been taking shots at the Dodgers for months because
I think they're pathetic the way they played baseball this season,
they had a couple of hot streaks and other than
that they've been pretty mediagal. And these guys are well,
I can't believe the Dodgers. They're like, Pilot, You don't
(39:03):
you're so you're admitting you're a moron. Uh fer Dog,
says modern day Sinatra. Lucky Tony is the answer, Phyllis Diller.
That's a relevant name. From Bobby in Florida.
Speaker 1 (39:14):

Speaker 2 (39:15):
The late Great Bobby Knight from The Goat Man, Elon
Musk from Femi and Dama con Sue the boy named
Sue who blocked.

thirty six to day from Late Night Drug Tester, He
sapped Choi from Mister Nice Guy, David Vassegas by Shannon
and Wyn Alexa Bliss from Just Josh?
Speaker 1 (39:36):

Speaker 2 (39:40):
