Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Welcome, It's our number one, our one
on a Tuesday. It's a big day. I know you've
seen a lot of commercials about today. It's NFL trade
deadline day. Finally those commercials on our NFL games will
end and we'll just talk about all the trades. But
leading into today, it's all about Monday Night football on
(00:22):
the Original Recipe Podcast, the Buccaneers and the Chiefs. Should
coach Todd Bowles have gone for the victory for Tampa?
He didn't? And what do you make of Baker Mayfield's
Bucks performance going to overtime? Mayfield going mono amano with
Patty Mahomes and Kansas City. Also, the only team left
(00:43):
head and shoulders above everyone else is the eight and
O Chiefs, the only unbeaten team left. So who's beating
Andy Reid's eight and no Chiefs this season? We'll talk
about all that and more right now and here it
is our number one, that Mahomes magic one more time. Welcome,
(01:04):
in the beginning of another night of the Benmahlor Show.
We are in the air averywhere eyeball to eyeball, as
we have taste bugs tingling coast to coast, border to
(01:25):
border and beyond, open all night on the vast and
mighty powerful microphones of fsr AMM neating live from the
reach as we reach across party lines. We're broadcasting live
from the Tyraq dot com studios. Tararact dot com will
help you get there an unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,

free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended in
stars that impresses the guy that goes by the handle
complex Tireraq dot com Await Tie Buying show would be
in our lead this hour from the city of Fountains,
more fountains than any city outside Peri, and that would
(02:12):
be the hub of the National Football League, the epicenter
of the NFL. People wondered when the New Zealand Patriots
won all those Super Bowls, would anyone following their footsteps?
Would be a long time before anyone was that good again,
And it turns out I really they just shifted from
New England to the Midwest and Canna City where Baker
(02:37):
Mayfield and the Buccaneer ship docking at Arrowhead for a
playdate with the Chiefs. You had the Fox refugees there,
Troy Aikman and Joe Buck. They had the call on TV,
a rainy night, and it was a hum dagger of
a game, a doozy of a game. I don't know
(02:57):
if you were watching it. Maybe you had something else
going on and you were not watching. It's possible. I
don't know what else there was to watch a lot
of NBA, So there you go. But the way it
turned out, it was worth to watch. You know, some
of these games we watch and we say it's a
public service, so you don't have to watch. But this
(03:18):
was worth it. A competitive game, it was, And in
the end, Patrick Mahomes ends up with two hundred ninety
one yards passing not one, not two, but three touchdown
passes and Kareem Hunt hunting for the end zone. He
rumbled into the end zone with a two yard run
in overtime, and the unbeaten Chiefs remain unbeaten. They get
(03:43):
a six point win over the Buccaneers on Monday Night.
DeAndre Hopkins mimembror him. I remember when it was good.
He had two touchdown receptions. The Chiefs are now eight
and all. They stand head and shoulders above everyone else
in the NFL. As they drove through the rain for
two fourth quarter scores, they had the lead there twenty
(04:07):
four to seventeen with four to seventeen left. Talking about
Tampa Bay. However, Kansas City their defense able to come
up with a stop there in the end, and the
Baker Mayfield they did lead them down, forcing the overtime,
but Kansas City's defense made enough plays early in the game.
Tampa Bay four and five now, and the story here
(04:30):
is what happened at the end after the Bucks did
go down the opposite way and Ryan Miller hit Peter
hit the end zone with twenty seven seconds remaining in
the game. And so you make the call. Do you
go for the win or do you go for the
tie and test your luck? Or should I say press
(04:52):
your luck in overtime? Well, Tampa Bay elected to kick
the extra point. They forced the overtime, which is the
good news the bad news. Rather than going for the
two point conversion, they ended up losing in overtime, Baker
Mayfield losing the coin toss, and that's it. See you later.
But the better story is in the losing locker room.
And so that is where we discuss. And the question,
(05:15):
the obvious question, should coach Todd Bowles have gone for
the victory for Tampa Should he have gone for the
win here. So I've got Alice in Wonderland, googly eyes,
and a bugs life, and we will combine all of
these things together and we will make a long walk
(05:38):
off a short pier, because that's what normally happens to
coaches that make the wrong call here. Now, should coach
Todd Bowles have gone for the win for Tampa and
not played for overtime? Well, in hindsight, the answer is obviously.
Mayfield called tails. The coin flip was heads, Mahomes and
the Chiefs took the ball five for five, passing for
(06:01):
my Homes and then Kareem Hunt the touchdown plunge to
win the game. However, it's not just in hindsight. It's
not You might say that because I wasn't with you
watching the game, but from the catbird seat I was
watching it. I was like, I was texting people, go
for it. I'd give it a shot. Now. I can
(06:22):
show you the text messages if you want. I can
give you screenshots of those to prove that I'm not
making this up. But I often go by a case
by case basis of a very weird weekend. Because we
had not one, not two, not three but four games
this weekend that all ended up in a similar situation.
Four times a team was down seven, they score a
(06:44):
touchdown with less than two minutes left in the game.
You make the call, do you go for two or
do you go for one? Then the nerds say to
go for two. The nerds say go for it, go
for two. Coaches liked playing for overtime, and in every
one of these games, every single one of these games,
the team said, you know what we're gonna do. We're
(07:05):
gonna play for overtime every time. We're gonna play for overtime.
And how did that work out? All four kicked the
point after touchdown. All four eventually lost. All four of them.
Shout out to the Patriots, the Seahawks, the Dolphins as
they joined the Buccaneers or the Bucks join them. So
this becomes an Alice in Wonderland mad Hatter situation. You
(07:28):
fit all of these teams for the Dunce cap. All
four should have gone for. The one that you could
argue shouldn't have gone forward is Seattle because they were
at home. However, they don't have a quarterback. Gino Smith blows.
Real fans know that the real ones know that So
if you don't have a quarterback and the other team's
got a better quarterback, Matthew Stafford probab should go for
(07:49):
it too. But I could. I can understand if you're
Seattle kicking the extra point, saying, hey, the Rams defense's
gas will win the game, blah blah blah. But the
other ones make no sense on any level. They don't
Miami and Tampa playing better opponents, teams that had top
notch quarterbacks. You got Miami against Josh Allen and Buffalo.
(08:12):
You got Baker Mayfield and Tampa against Mahomes and the Chiefs,
and then you got New England with their puke in
the mouth defense, and you had Drake may who made
this ridiculous play leaning into that, and you didn't go
for it. Bad job Byjerrod Mayo. Now page two, what
(08:34):
do you make of Baker Mayfield's performance here in a
loss as Tampa goes down. He had the late drive
and put up a decent performance against what has been
one of the better defenses in the NFL in Kansas City.
So for me, it was like an NHL mascot, a
seven foot tall orange creature with googly eyes who happens
(08:59):
to wear Flyers gear.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
It was.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
It was the gritty it was now. Unfortunately, there are
no moral victories in the NFL. That said, this was
a premium grade loss. The Bucks had the fighting spirit
which you'd like to see. They didn't roll over and
get in the fetal position. Without Mike Evans and Chris
(09:22):
Godwin's out all year, Baker Mayfield went toe to toe
with Patrick Mahomes and matched him for sixty minutes of
regulation football using flotsam and jetsam against the defense. For
Kansas City, you had Kate Otten and I don't even
(09:43):
know who the other guys were on the Bucks side.
I don't know. I watch football every week. I didn't
know who most of those guys were. I don't know
where'd you come from. Did you win a contest to
be on the team. You want to raffle congratulations, But
here's the problem that little gritty that and a presidential
pardon will help Todd Bowles keep his job when the
(10:06):
Bucks missed the playoffs. Stampas now on the wrong side
of five hundred or four and five on the year.
The Falcons have separation in the NFC South. Now final point,
we go to the winning locker room Canza City as
the Chiefs get her done, and yet again get her
done in a game where they were trailing in the
(10:27):
second half, and yet again they come out and they
win the game, making some more plays. So the obvious
question when you're the only one in this category, the
only one at eight and oh on the season, the
question must be asked when you take a couple of
steps back and you look at the Chiefs here, who
(10:49):
in the NFL circa twenty twenty four is beating Andy
Reid's Chiefs with Patty Mahomes at quarterback? And the answer
to that, we got a glimpse of that, even though
the game went to the Chiefs. If you look at
this objectively, okay, the answer is a bug's life or
(11:10):
go I'm not talking about Disney here, I'm talking about
the injury bug. And there was a moment. If you're
passionate and you have invested your time in Kansas City football,
there was a moment there where you were pausing and
you were contemplating the time space continuum because we saw
(11:34):
a preview or that little bugger, the injury bug in
this game Nail Biden time at Arrowhead, Patrick Mahomes lands
awkwardly on his left ankle. He had to be helped
off the field. Turned out false alarm, false alarmed. Now
I'm not a chief fan, but I gotta tell you
(11:55):
I was concerned. As you know, we're doing the Mallard
Meet and greet in Kansas City on set. I'm going
to my first Chiefs game at Arrowhead on Sunday, and
in my head, I'm thinking, oh, man, I'll be watching
Carson Wentz play quarterback for the Chiefs. That's not what
That's not something I want to do. Of course, I
(12:15):
made it all about me, made it all about me,
how depressed that was going to be. And I was
sending messages, the angry messages, like all the games for
him to get what could he later on get hurt
right before the game with the Broncos. Well, it turns
out he'll be he'll be okay. But outside of injury,
there's only one other scenario. There's only one other scenario.
(12:36):
Looking at the Chiefs, well, you say there's some problems there,
they'll have a real stinker where they and they've already
had a couple of these. Really they don't play all
that well, and they have to win those games or
they don't play all that well. And there's really no
game other than one that stands out that you say
is an obvious Hey, watch that game situation. That's November
(12:58):
seventeenth at Buffalo against Josh Allen. Chiefs are better than
the Bills with the games on the road, and say, well,
weird things can happen, etc. It's outside of that, you've
already beaten the Chargers once you have them at home.
Chargers have no offense, and even if that's a low
(13:18):
scoring game, you'll like your chances with Mahomes against that
rag tag Charger offense. And then they play the Steelers
on Christmas, so maybe you have too much eggnog or
something like that on Christmas Night in Pittsburgh. But other
than that, everything is very manageable for the Chiefs to
go seventeen to zero and march their way into the
(13:41):
playoffs and have the number one seed and then just
wait around and see what happened after that. It is

Speaker 3 (15:11):
An Alive from the tyrack dot com Fox Sports Radio Studios.
It's Ben Maller.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Rolling on talking about that Monday night game it goes
to cheat the Chiefs at overtime. JC writes in five
out of five stars on the arousing monologue. The game
worked out almost exactly in line with the NFL script.
The only screw up was the Bucks were supposed to
let Kelsey score on second down and overtime they had
cameras waiting to capture Taylor Swift celebrating Travis's game winner. Yeah,
(15:42):
so she was. She was there, so didn't show that
much though.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
She was cute though in that outfit of hers with
the cute shorts and the boots.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
How many of those Chiefs jackets is she gonna sell now?
She had the jacket on with.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
The chief I didn't say. I only saw a little
red snippets. It wasn't one of the custom jackets that
the other player's wife makes.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Oh I saw a photo. I saw a photo of
her walking in in a video and he's just wearing
a jacket. ELOI from Common says, I ain't gonna lie bet.
I almost pooped myself when I saw my homes limping
and I thank god he's okay. Yeah, me too. I'm
going to Kansas City this week in Eloyd. I think
he'll be there. Actually think he always gonna be in
Kansas City also, and I know Wally. I believe it's
(16:28):
coming up from Florida, and so I got some guys
from the Ozarks coming down be hanging out with us.
So this is gonna be a good crowd on Saturday
two to four at the Landing. The highest honor I've
gotten in sports rate. I've never won a Marconi Award.
I've never won any awards in radio. No one thinks
I'm good at this. But the Landing in Kansas City
named Chicken Fingers after me, and God bless them. And
(16:50):
so I was there at the old restaurant they had
the owners of the place back years ago. And now
we're going to the Landing and it's gonna be a
lot of fun and enjoy the hell out of Kansas City.
I'm looking forward to. I'm get to my guy Bob.
I've been to Kansas City before, but my guy Bob,
Bob Fesco the morning guys give me a VIP tour.
Oh yeah, so I'm getting a VIP tour of Kansas City.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Shout out Bob.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Yeah, Bob's hooking me up with that, and then we're
gonna there's a bus picking me up to go to
a Chiefs tailgate on Sunday, and it's an early game.
I don't really do early, but winning Kansas City act
like a Kansas City. So that's what I plan on doing.
I had news rights and says, man, you neglected a
manager and the other stupidity of Tampa Bay calling a
(17:33):
time out with thirty seconds ago, give me the Chiefs
more time to beat them. It was really over right
then and there Robin Vegas said, did you say reach
across the aisle, Benjamin, And then he says, get out
and vote.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
Well, that actually the timeout didn't hurt them at all.
That is true, as they went to overtime anyway. They
didn't score to beat them in regulation.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
But don't question a head news. The guy's ahead news.
Oh okay, sorry, that's wrong with you? Justin and it
sits that he says, Ben is Tom Looney going to
start doing the TV show from Canada this week? Now?
He'll just proove he'll freak out if it goes that way,
and send me some weird messages and then that's it.
Spots Weed right now, bitch, clearly, without a doubt, that's
edited audio. Spotswed calls in Or writes and he says,
(18:17):
is in Oregon listening to the Malor Show. He's outside,
and he's got like a hoodie on and a very
serious look on his face. Very serious. Jay says, let's go, Chief,
So you're coming to Liberty, Missouri. Yes, I am Jason.
That's where the restaurant is, Liberty, Missouri, mass O. Mickey says,
(18:38):
thanks Queen for the fit check update. We all can
sleep better at night. I don't know what that's about.
You know what that's about? No, no, no, no details
on that. You guys were talking about Taylor Swift, Tylor Swift. Okay,
I already forgot I already I was.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
Fast, So I was an expect acting at that fast.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
No, said Chris says, big men, nothing else to watch
opening night of college basketball, brother, especially here in Vegas
with four games going. Yeah's I mean, hey, listen, I
don't hate college basketball, but I wasn't fully engaged in
(19:25):
college and basketball. I was not. I was not lie
to you. I was locked in on that. Chiefs bucks game.
And I cannot tell you how stressful these weekends are.
When you have a TV show where you pick every
effing game against the spread, and all of your picks
(19:46):
are broadcast on national television, and if you have at
one point, I was losing every game in the early
television window.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Do you start to sweat?
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Oh, it's terrible because I'm doing the same thing I
did here when I did Benny depending on the radio,
and I did it on the podcast for a while,
and I did really pretty well. I haven't changed anything.
The only different is there's a TV camera and now
all of a sudden, I suck.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Well, don't forget Ben. You can't make everyone happy. You
are not a taco.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
I went ten and five this week? How'd you do not?
I didn't go ten to five? Did you ten and
five against the spring? Bet every game? Or you just
picked every game? You didn't actually, I.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
Mean I didn't actually bet every game, because that's illegal here.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Of course it would be wrong and immortal to Yes. No,
I let's say that the the your Broncos really aft me,
because I can't. I mean that was that coop, I
mean that was they didn't show up? Yeah, I mean
the they afked me too. I was.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
I was in Vegas, Oh okay, and I had many
parlays and they.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
All had the Bronx. They all had the Broncos.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
Yeah, which I normally don't bet on the Broncos.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
But well, this is the thing that annoys me because
you probably looked at the numbers like I did, and
you look at the numbers Broncos had. According to the EPA,
they had the number one defense in the NFL. The
Ravens had the thirty second ranked pass defense. So you figure, Okay,
Baltimore is likely going to win the game. However, it's
gonna be within the margin. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
Nine and a half felt like way too much until
it wasn't and the game was over. Going to the
Mark Jackson didn't like practice all week.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Yeah, he was hard. My guy sports with Coleman had
said he missed practice he was injured and they were
downplaying it. And God, that woe hurt. Yeah, that was
that was not good. Not good. Eugene in Kansas, Eugenie chicago'says,
mall are on Saturday. He's in Kansas. Yes, I will
be there. I can't wait. I'm looking forward to meeting everybody.
(21:53):
Some of you guys were there. I don't know if
Jeopardy Al is gonna be there. I met Jeopardy Al
last time I was there. I don know if he's
gonna be there. We'll see who shows up. It can
be a lot of fun. We're looking forward to. It's
very exciting. Coop has informed me that the computer that
we use here in the studio is not is not working.
So we were doing it at old School? Are the
(22:14):
gremlins attacking the computer? Coop? Is that what happened here?
The gremlins are attacking?
Speaker 5 (22:18):
So the laptop that we had in here is is
it's put okay, what did you do to it?
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Alright? P what did you do? What did you do?
Speaker 6 (22:27):
It?
Speaker 5 (22:27):
Just it would not turn on. We'd get to like
the HP loading screen, and then then that was it.
So that laptop is now gone and I supposedly will
have a replacement tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
There They ordered it on TIMU and hopefully hopefully it's funny.
I don't I'm clicking on the thing I normally click
on it. I don't see the messages, so maybe I
mess something up here. I think I know where I
need to go. I'll click this and then if I
(23:00):
click this, it should come up, but normally it shows
up on the other thing. But it did not. It
did not show up.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
And the Clippers beat the Spurs one thirteen two, one
oh four. No Greg Popovich for San Antonio out indefinitely
with health issue. Clippers with Spurs. Yeah, they finally got
a home.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Win after finally it's the first week oh four at home. Please.
How the Lakers do I don't know.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
They did not make games of note unfortunately.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Oh that's right. Oh yet again. This is why people
hate the media. This is a textbook example. So the
Lakers have one of the most embarrassing losses in franchise history,
and it's not a game of note.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
So the fact you should be excited about this, I'm
saying the labors noteword.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
No, no, no. When they lose, you don't mention it.
When they win, you mentioned them. This is why you're biased.
This is why people hate the media. People hate the
media because guys like you say things.
Speaker 5 (23:55):
This is the most embarrassing loss in the history of
the franchise, and it's like the sixth game of an
eighty two games to the Detroit pist Talk about sensations
to the Detroit Pistons.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Bow your head in shame. Rip Hamilton did not walk
through that door. Rashid Wallace did not walk through that door.
Tayshawn Prince did not walk through that door. You lost,
or Jaden, that's old school Jaden Ivy and Tim Hardaway
Junior the Pistons.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Two games in the NHL, The King shut out the
Predators three nothing, Darcy kemper A sixteen saved shut out
for LA and the Devil's Blank the Oilers three nothing.

And there's the Ben Maler Show. And uh, that's right,
we have a fun fact.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Here, Ben Maller fun fact.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Well, somehow this is not a game of note proving
that Eddie Garcia is a bad teammate at Fox Sports
Radio because our colleague, Doug Gottlieb made his coaching debut
at Green Bay. They were in Stillwater, Oklahoma. That's right,
sportball against his old squad, sports talk radio host Doug Gottlieb,
(25:18):
a former Cowboy of OSU. Yes, it was a made
for TV matchup, although no one watched it. Apparently you
didn't watch it. Someone named Bryce Thompson. I don't know
who that is. Apparently he plays basketball for Oklahoma State.
He had twenty two points and the Cowboy pulled away
in the second half. They went eighty nine to seventy
(25:39):
six on Monday Nights, spoiling the coaching debut of Doug
Gottlieb at Green Bay, our teammate. Here, we all bow
our heads in shame. Eddie as the official micial Yeah,
I mean, come on, Gottlieb, You're you're representing all the
sports radio every blow hardened gash bag needs Green Bay
to win darre better. Now they're called their mascot Eddies
(26:02):
the Phoenix.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Yeah, it's kind of odd because it doesn't seem to
fit Green Bay in my opinion.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
But na, it should be like the toilet papers. I mean,
that's the toilet paper capital.
Speaker 7 (26:12):
Of the.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Right.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
They were packing the toilet paper.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Well I think that wasn't that meat they were packing?
Was it meat packers, the Green Bay packers. I don't
think it was toilet paper. They were packs. There was meal.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
You know all about meat packers.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
M you're so juvenile, Eddie, You're such a child. I
do an adult show. This is a grown up show.
Let's go to the phones. Real talk is.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
I thought it was one and done.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Yeah, he was back, real talk. He returned the last week.
Speaker 8 (26:42):
Hello, real talk, Come in and.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
You're so loud, the phone over modulating and you're this
is why are we so blessed to have you called
twice in a week. You didn't call for four years,
and now you called twice.
Speaker 9 (27:15):
Man that this might be our last call. The elections
coming up. We are twenty four hours away from a
shift in the world as we know.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Well maybe not. They the last couple of years, they
haven't announced on election night who won, right they waited later?
Speaker 9 (27:29):
And with all due respect, this call is not for you.
This call is for my swing state via Georgia, Virginia, legigate, Wisconsin. Man,
just make America great again.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
You might do that well, and this is for you though,
real talk, because you've claimed that if Trump does not win,
this is it. It's you're done, it's over.

do you think that Ben Fields that's fair that people
who have selonies can't vote our Ben doesn't care either way?
What do you think?
Speaker 1 (30:25):

that they can't vote in elections.
Speaker 7 (30:32):
Ben, what's your answer?
Speaker 2 (30:33):

Speaker 1 (30:34):

this that I'm gonna set the under and over at
two and a half in the last forty eight hours, Ben,
I mean, Justin Been's married. Do you think he told
his wife, I love you, whether by text, phone or
face to face, that he's loved her more than two
and a half times in the last forty eight hours. Yeah,

a long time, but I would go apple jacks.
Speaker 9 (31:50):

never get to talk again. This question is sponsored by
Trump twenty twenty four. Here we go, okay, Jeff be ready, Yeah, okay,

Here we go. Welcome, It's our number one, our one
on a Tuesday. It's a big day. I know you've
seen a lot of commercials about today. It's NFL trade
deadline day. Finally those commercials on our NFL games will
end and we'll just talk about all the trades. But
leading into today, it's all about Monday Night football on
(00:22):
the Original Recipe Podcast, the Buccaneers and the Chiefs. Should
coach Todd Bowles have gone for the victory for Tampa?
He didn't? And what do you make of Baker Mayfield's
Bucks performance going to overtime? Mayfield going mono amano with
Patty Mahomes and Kansas City. Also, the only team left
(00:43):
head and shoulders above everyone else is the eight and
O Chiefs, the only unbeaten team left. So who's beating
Andy Reid's eight and no Chiefs this season? We'll talk
about all that and more right now and here it
is our number one, that Mahomes magic one more time. Welcome,
(01:04):
in the beginning of another night of the Benmahlor Show.
We are in the air averywhere eyeball to eyeball, as
we have taste bugs tingling coast to coast, border to
(01:25):
border and beyond, open all night on the vast and
mighty powerful microphones of fsr AMM neating live from the
reach as we reach across party lines. We're broadcasting live
from the Tyraq dot com studios. Tararact dot com will
help you get there an unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,
(01:48):
free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended in
stars that impresses the guy that goes by the handle
complex Tireraq dot com Await Tie Buying show would be
in our lead this hour from the city of Fountains,
more fountains than any city outside Peri, and that would
(02:12):
be the hub of the National Football League, the epicenter
of the NFL. People wondered when the New Zealand Patriots
won all those Super Bowls, would anyone following their footsteps?
Would be a long time before anyone was that good again,
And it turns out I really they just shifted from
New England to the Midwest and Canna City where Baker
(02:37):
Mayfield and the Buccaneer ship docking at Arrowhead for a
playdate with the Chiefs. You had the Fox refugees there,
Troy Aikman and Joe Buck. They had the call on TV,
a rainy night, and it was a hum dagger of
a game, a doozy of a game. I don't know
(02:57):
if you were watching it. Maybe you had something else
going on and you were not watching. It's possible. I
don't know what else there was to watch a lot
of NBA, So there you go. But the way it
turned out, it was worth to watch. You know, some
of these games we watch and we say it's a
public service, so you don't have to watch. But this
(03:18):
was worth it. A competitive game, it was, And in
the end, Patrick Mahomes ends up with two hundred ninety
one yards passing not one, not two, but three touchdown
passes and Kareem Hunt hunting for the end zone. He
rumbled into the end zone with a two yard run
in overtime, and the unbeaten Chiefs remain unbeaten. They get
(03:43):
a six point win over the Buccaneers on Monday Night.
DeAndre Hopkins mimembror him. I remember when it was good.
He had two touchdown receptions. The Chiefs are now eight
and all. They stand head and shoulders above everyone else
in the NFL. As they drove through the rain for
two fourth quarter scores, they had the lead there twenty
(04:07):
four to seventeen with four to seventeen left. Talking about
Tampa Bay. However, Kansas City their defense able to come
up with a stop there in the end, and the
Baker Mayfield they did lead them down, forcing the overtime,
but Kansas City's defense made enough plays early in the game.
Tampa Bay four and five now, and the story here
(04:30):
is what happened at the end after the Bucks did
go down the opposite way and Ryan Miller hit Peter
hit the end zone with twenty seven seconds remaining in
the game. And so you make the call. Do you
go for the win or do you go for the
tie and test your luck? Or should I say press
(04:52):
your luck in overtime? Well, Tampa Bay elected to kick
the extra point. They forced the overtime, which is the
good news the bad news. Rather than going for the
two point conversion, they ended up losing in overtime, Baker
Mayfield losing the coin toss, and that's it. See you later.
But the better story is in the losing locker room.
And so that is where we discuss. And the question,
(05:15):
the obvious question, should coach Todd Bowles have gone for
the victory for Tampa Should he have gone for the
win here. So I've got Alice in Wonderland, googly eyes,
and a bugs life, and we will combine all of
these things together and we will make a long walk
(05:38):
off a short pier, because that's what normally happens to
coaches that make the wrong call here. Now, should coach
Todd Bowles have gone for the win for Tampa and
not played for overtime? Well, in hindsight, the answer is obviously.
Mayfield called tails. The coin flip was heads, Mahomes and
the Chiefs took the ball five for five, passing for
(06:01):
my Homes and then Kareem Hunt the touchdown plunge to
win the game. However, it's not just in hindsight. It's
not You might say that because I wasn't with you
watching the game, but from the catbird seat I was
watching it. I was like, I was texting people, go
for it. I'd give it a shot. Now. I can
(06:22):
show you the text messages if you want. I can
give you screenshots of those to prove that I'm not
making this up. But I often go by a case
by case basis of a very weird weekend. Because we
had not one, not two, not three but four games
this weekend that all ended up in a similar situation.
Four times a team was down seven, they score a
(06:44):
touchdown with less than two minutes left in the game.
You make the call, do you go for two or
do you go for one? Then the nerds say to
go for two. The nerds say go for it, go
for two. Coaches liked playing for overtime, and in every
one of these games, every single one of these games,
the team said, you know what we're gonna do. We're
(07:05):
gonna play for overtime every time. We're gonna play for overtime.
And how did that work out? All four kicked the
point after touchdown. All four eventually lost. All four of them.
Shout out to the Patriots, the Seahawks, the Dolphins as
they joined the Buccaneers or the Bucks join them. So
this becomes an Alice in Wonderland mad Hatter situation. You
(07:28):
fit all of these teams for the Dunce cap. All
four should have gone for. The one that you could
argue shouldn't have gone forward is Seattle because they were
at home. However, they don't have a quarterback. Gino Smith blows.
Real fans know that the real ones know that So
if you don't have a quarterback and the other team's
got a better quarterback, Matthew Stafford probab should go for
(07:49):
it too. But I could. I can understand if you're
Seattle kicking the extra point, saying, hey, the Rams defense's
gas will win the game, blah blah blah. But the
other ones make no sense on any level. They don't
Miami and Tampa playing better opponents, teams that had top
notch quarterbacks. You got Miami against Josh Allen and Buffalo.
(08:12):
You got Baker Mayfield and Tampa against Mahomes and the Chiefs,
and then you got New England with their puke in
the mouth defense, and you had Drake may who made
this ridiculous play leaning into that, and you didn't go
for it. Bad job Byjerrod Mayo. Now page two, what
(08:34):
do you make of Baker Mayfield's performance here in a
loss as Tampa goes down. He had the late drive
and put up a decent performance against what has been
one of the better defenses in the NFL in Kansas City.
So for me, it was like an NHL mascot, a
seven foot tall orange creature with googly eyes who happens
(08:59):
to wear Flyers gear.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
It was.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
It was the gritty it was now. Unfortunately, there are
no moral victories in the NFL. That said, this was
a premium grade loss. The Bucks had the fighting spirit
which you'd like to see. They didn't roll over and
get in the fetal position. Without Mike Evans and Chris
(09:22):
Godwin's out all year, Baker Mayfield went toe to toe
with Patrick Mahomes and matched him for sixty minutes of
regulation football using flotsam and jetsam against the defense. For
Kansas City, you had Kate Otten and I don't even
(09:43):
know who the other guys were on the Bucks side.
I don't know. I watch football every week. I didn't
know who most of those guys were. I don't know
where'd you come from. Did you win a contest to
be on the team. You want to raffle congratulations, But
here's the problem that little gritty that and a presidential
pardon will help Todd Bowles keep his job when the
(10:06):
Bucks missed the playoffs. Stampas now on the wrong side
of five hundred or four and five on the year.
The Falcons have separation in the NFC South. Now final point,
we go to the winning locker room Canza City as
the Chiefs get her done, and yet again get her
done in a game where they were trailing in the
(10:27):
second half, and yet again they come out and they
win the game, making some more plays. So the obvious
question when you're the only one in this category, the
only one at eight and oh on the season, the
question must be asked when you take a couple of
steps back and you look at the Chiefs here, who
(10:49):
in the NFL circa twenty twenty four is beating Andy
Reid's Chiefs with Patty Mahomes at quarterback? And the answer
to that, we got a glimpse of that, even though
the game went to the Chiefs. If you look at
this objectively, okay, the answer is a bug's life or
(11:10):
go I'm not talking about Disney here, I'm talking about
the injury bug. And there was a moment. If you're
passionate and you have invested your time in Kansas City football,
there was a moment there where you were pausing and
you were contemplating the time space continuum because we saw
(11:34):
a preview or that little bugger, the injury bug in
this game Nail Biden time at Arrowhead, Patrick Mahomes lands
awkwardly on his left ankle. He had to be helped
off the field. Turned out false alarm, false alarmed. Now
I'm not a chief fan, but I gotta tell you
(11:55):
I was concerned. As you know, we're doing the Mallard
Meet and greet in Kansas City on set. I'm going
to my first Chiefs game at Arrowhead on Sunday, and
in my head, I'm thinking, oh, man, I'll be watching
Carson Wentz play quarterback for the Chiefs. That's not what
That's not something I want to do. Of course, I
(12:15):
made it all about me, made it all about me,
how depressed that was going to be. And I was
sending messages, the angry messages, like all the games for
him to get what could he later on get hurt
right before the game with the Broncos. Well, it turns
out he'll be he'll be okay. But outside of injury,
there's only one other scenario. There's only one other scenario.
(12:36):
Looking at the Chiefs, well, you say there's some problems there,
they'll have a real stinker where they and they've already
had a couple of these. Really they don't play all
that well, and they have to win those games or
they don't play all that well. And there's really no
game other than one that stands out that you say
is an obvious Hey, watch that game situation. That's November
(12:58):
seventeenth at Buffalo against Josh Allen. Chiefs are better than
the Bills with the games on the road, and say, well,
weird things can happen, etc. It's outside of that, you've
already beaten the Chargers once you have them at home.
Chargers have no offense, and even if that's a low
(13:18):
scoring game, you'll like your chances with Mahomes against that
rag tag Charger offense. And then they play the Steelers
on Christmas, so maybe you have too much eggnog or
something like that on Christmas Night in Pittsburgh. But other
than that, everything is very manageable for the Chiefs to
go seventeen to zero and march their way into the
(13:41):
playoffs and have the number one seed and then just
wait around and see what happened after that. It is

It's Ben Maller.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Rolling on talking about that Monday night game it goes
to cheat the Chiefs at overtime. JC writes in five
out of five stars on the arousing monologue. The game
worked out almost exactly in line with the NFL script.
The only screw up was the Bucks were supposed to
let Kelsey score on second down and overtime they had
cameras waiting to capture Taylor Swift celebrating Travis's game winner. Yeah,
(15:42):
so she was. She was there, so didn't show that
much though.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
She was cute though in that outfit of hers with
the cute shorts and the boots.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
How many of those Chiefs jackets is she gonna sell now?
She had the jacket on with.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
The chief I didn't say. I only saw a little
red snippets. It wasn't one of the custom jackets that
the other player's wife makes.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Oh I saw a photo. I saw a photo of
her walking in in a video and he's just wearing
a jacket. ELOI from Common says, I ain't gonna lie bet.
I almost pooped myself when I saw my homes limping
and I thank god he's okay. Yeah, me too. I'm
going to Kansas City this week in Eloyd. I think
he'll be there. Actually think he always gonna be in
Kansas City also, and I know Wally. I believe it's

from the Ozarks coming down be hanging out with us.
So this is gonna be a good crowd on Saturday

(16:50):

Oh yeah, so I'm getting a VIP tour of Kansas City.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Shout out Bob.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Yeah, Bob's hooking me up with that, and then we're
gonna there's a bus picking me up to go to
a Chiefs tailgate on Sunday, and it's an early game.
I don't really do early, but winning Kansas City act
like a Kansas City. So that's what I plan on doing.
I had news rights and says, man, you neglected a
manager and the other stupidity of Tampa Bay calling a
(17:33):
time out with thirty seconds ago, give me the Chiefs
more time to beat them. It was really over right
then and there Robin Vegas said, did you say reach
across the aisle, Benjamin, And then he says, get out
and vote.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
Well, that actually the timeout didn't hurt them at all.
That is true, as they went to overtime anyway. They
didn't score to beat them in regulation.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
But don't question a head news. The guy's ahead news.
Oh okay, sorry, that's wrong with you? Justin and it
sits that he says, Ben is Tom Looney going to
start doing the TV show from Canada this week? Now?
He'll just proove he'll freak out if it goes that way,
and send me some weird messages and then that's it.
Spots Weed right now, bitch, clearly, without a doubt, that's
edited audio. Spotswed calls in Or writes and he says,

That's where the restaurant is, Liberty, Missouri, mass O. Mickey says,
(18:38):
thanks Queen for the fit check update. We all can
sleep better at night. I don't know what that's about.
You know what that's about? No, no, no, no details
on that. You guys were talking about Taylor Swift, Tylor Swift. Okay,
I already forgot I already I was.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
Fast, So I was an expect acting at that fast.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
No, said Chris says, big men, nothing else to watch
opening night of college basketball, brother, especially here in Vegas
with four games going. Yeah's I mean, hey, listen, I
don't hate college basketball, but I wasn't fully engaged in
(19:25):
college and basketball. I was not. I was not lie
to you. I was locked in on that. Chiefs bucks game.
And I cannot tell you how stressful these weekends are.
When you have a TV show where you pick every
effing game against the spread, and all of your picks
(19:46):
are broadcast on national television, and if you have at
one point, I was losing every game in the early
television window.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Do you start to sweat?
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Oh, it's terrible because I'm doing the same thing I
did here when I did Benny depending on the radio,
and I did it on the podcast for a while,
and I did really pretty well. I haven't changed anything.
The only different is there's a TV camera and now
all of a sudden, I suck.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Well, don't forget Ben. You can't make everyone happy. You
are not a taco.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
I went ten and five this week? How'd you do not?
I didn't go ten to five? Did you ten and
five against the spring? Bet every game? Or you just
picked every game? You didn't actually, I.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
Mean I didn't actually bet every game, because that's illegal here.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Of course it would be wrong and immortal to Yes. No,
I let's say that the the your Broncos really aft me,
because I can't. I mean that was that coop, I
mean that was they didn't show up? Yeah, I mean
the they afked me too. I was.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
I was in Vegas, Oh okay, and I had many
parlays and they.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
All had the Bronx. They all had the Broncos.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
Yeah, which I normally don't bet on the Broncos.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
But well, this is the thing that annoys me because
you probably looked at the numbers like I did, and
you look at the numbers Broncos had. According to the EPA,
they had the number one defense in the NFL. The
Ravens had the thirty second ranked pass defense. So you figure, Okay,
Baltimore is likely going to win the game. However, it's
gonna be within the margin. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
Nine and a half felt like way too much until
it wasn't and the game was over. Going to the
Mark Jackson didn't like practice all week.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Yeah, he was hard. My guy sports with Coleman had
said he missed practice he was injured and they were
downplaying it. And God, that woe hurt. Yeah, that was
that was not good. Not good. Eugene in Kansas, Eugenie chicago'says,
mall are on Saturday. He's in Kansas. Yes, I will
be there. I can't wait. I'm looking forward to meeting everybody.
(21:53):
Some of you guys were there. I don't know if
Jeopardy Al is gonna be there. I met Jeopardy Al
last time I was there. I don know if he's
gonna be there. We'll see who shows up. It can
be a lot of fun. We're looking forward to. It's
very exciting. Coop has informed me that the computer that
we use here in the studio is not is not working.
So we were doing it at old School? Are the
(22:14):
gremlins attacking the computer? Coop? Is that what happened here?
The gremlins are attacking?
Speaker 5 (22:18):
So the laptop that we had in here is is
it's put okay, what did you do to it?
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Alright? P what did you do? What did you do?
Speaker 6 (22:27):
It?
Speaker 5 (22:27):
Just it would not turn on. We'd get to like
the HP loading screen, and then then that was it.
So that laptop is now gone and I supposedly will
have a replacement tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
There They ordered it on TIMU and hopefully hopefully it's funny.
I don't I'm clicking on the thing I normally click
on it. I don't see the messages, so maybe I
mess something up here. I think I know where I
need to go. I'll click this and then if I
(23:00):
click this, it should come up, but normally it shows
up on the other thing. But it did not. It
did not show up.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller

Speaker 3 (23:10):
And the Clippers beat the Spurs one thirteen two, one
oh four. No Greg Popovich for San Antonio out indefinitely
with health issue. Clippers with Spurs. Yeah, they finally got
a home.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Win after finally it's the first week oh four at home. Please.
How the Lakers do I don't know.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
They did not make games of note unfortunately.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Oh that's right. Oh yet again. This is why people
hate the media. This is a textbook example. So the
Lakers have one of the most embarrassing losses in franchise history,
and it's not a game of note.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
So the fact you should be excited about this, I'm
saying the labors noteword.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
No, no, no. When they lose, you don't mention it.
When they win, you mentioned them. This is why you're biased.
This is why people hate the media. People hate the
media because guys like you say things.
Speaker 5 (23:55):
This is the most embarrassing loss in the history of
the franchise, and it's like the sixth game of an
eighty two games to the Detroit pist Talk about sensations
to the Detroit Pistons.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Bow your head in shame. Rip Hamilton did not walk
through that door. Rashid Wallace did not walk through that door.
Tayshawn Prince did not walk through that door. You lost,
or Jaden, that's old school Jaden Ivy and Tim Hardaway
Junior the Pistons.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Two games in the NHL, The King shut out the
Predators three nothing, Darcy kemper A sixteen saved shut out

And there's the Ben Maler Show. And uh, that's right,
we have a fun fact.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Here, Ben Maller fun fact.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Well, somehow this is not a game of note proving
that Eddie Garcia is a bad teammate at Fox Sports
Radio because our colleague, Doug Gottlieb made his coaching debut
at Green Bay. They were in Stillwater, Oklahoma. That's right,
sportball against his old squad, sports talk radio host Doug Gottlieb,
(25:18):
a former Cowboy of OSU. Yes, it was a made
for TV matchup, although no one watched it. Apparently you
didn't watch it. Someone named Bryce Thompson. I don't know
who that is. Apparently he plays basketball for Oklahoma State.
He had twenty two points and the Cowboy pulled away
in the second half. They went eighty nine to seventy
(25:39):
six on Monday Nights, spoiling the coaching debut of Doug
Gottlieb at Green Bay, our teammate. Here, we all bow
our heads in shame. Eddie as the official micial Yeah,
I mean, come on, Gottlieb, You're you're representing all the
sports radio every blow hardened gash bag needs Green Bay
to win darre better. Now they're called their mascot Eddies
(26:02):
the Phoenix.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Yeah, it's kind of odd because it doesn't seem to
fit Green Bay in my opinion.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
But na, it should be like the toilet papers. I mean,
that's the toilet paper capital.
Speaker 7 (26:12):
Of the.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Right.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
They were packing the toilet paper.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Well I think that wasn't that meat they were packing?
Was it meat packers, the Green Bay packers. I don't
think it was toilet paper. They were packs. There was meal.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
You know all about meat packers.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
M you're so juvenile, Eddie, You're such a child. I
do an adult show. This is a grown up show.
Let's go to the phones. Real talk is.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
I thought it was one and done.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Yeah, he was back, real talk. He returned the last week.
Speaker 8 (26:42):
Hello, real talk, Come in and.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
You're so loud, the phone over modulating and you're this
is why are we so blessed to have you called
twice in a week. You didn't call for four years,
and now you called twice.
Speaker 9 (27:15):
Man that this might be our last call. The elections
coming up. We are twenty four hours away from a
shift in the world as we know.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Well maybe not. They the last couple of years, they
haven't announced on election night who won, right they waited later?
Speaker 9 (27:29):
And with all due respect, this call is not for you.
This call is for my swing state via Georgia, Virginia, legigate, Wisconsin. Man,
just make America great again.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
You might do that well, and this is for you though,
real talk, because you've claimed that if Trump does not win,
this is it. It's you're done, it's over.
Speaker 9 (27:51):
Yeah, and dude, officially remember by being born in on
January twentieth, that's when I had That's when my wife
was just like, dude, you're gone. You lost the bet buyers.

I'm technically cheating right now, but I'm doing it for
the greater good. You feel me better.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
I hear you, I hear you. You want to say
you love calling the show so much real talk that
you're trying to help your own cause out and you
feel like this is a way and you have so
much influence. This is kind of like this is the
equivalent for sports talk radio during the Joe Rogan podcast,
right you you pop up on our show. We have
so many people that they don't know who to vote
for right now, but because you called off, they're not
(28:28):
going to vote for who you want, Yes sir.

Yes, So you don't. And the thing is deep beneath
a sound when they get Trump, they just don't get Trump.
They get real talk, and we get we just don't
get you just don't get a one two three, times,
we get a slick talking to walk in caller who
loves to do bits. Man, I've got a bag of
bit I got so many bits. I got a bit.

People grants that. Well, we can pair like famous transgender
people to famous fat celebrities.
