Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Welcome, it's our number one. Happy Wednesday,
It's hump Day, the tenth day of September, and here
in our number one. What is your reaction to Jerry
jones explanation on Micah Parson's trade and the conversations with
the Philadelphia Eagles, specifically, we react to what Jerry had
(00:24):
to say. Also, how do you categorize how do he
categorize the upbeat comments from Caleb Williams after the Bears
choked on Monday Night football. And another humdinger of a
quote from Jim Harbaugh, the Charger coach, on quarterback Justin
Herbert's toughness took a sack versus Kansas City and Harbaugh said,
the kind of a hit that would have killed a
(00:46):
lesser man with his dead pan delivery, How does that
quote hit you? We'll go there right now. It's our
number one. It's all about the counter or no counter.
(01:07):
Welcome in not begating of another night of the Ben
Mahler Show. We are in the air everywhere, woggling through
the night as we are scheming and dreaming while staying awake,
coast to coast, border to border and beyond on the
(01:27):
vast and fantastically powerful microphones of fsre ammundating live from
the Way do It live as we are learning the
hard away from the Fox Sports Radio Studios, the world
famous Fox Sports Radio series as approved by Fred in Nebraska,
(01:47):
Fred big Fan. Unless well, he works the day shift,
so we'll hear this later on the treaded day shift
listening to the podcast. But our lead this hour from
deep in the heart of Texas and Dallas. The follow
up to the follow up, follow up to the follow up,
as we settle into the night here Jerry's world. So
some news out there's always news because Jerry does a
(02:10):
lot of radio. He's old school that way, to do
some podcasts with the guys Tickles toes. He goes on
the radio. Of course, if they say anything bad about him,
they'll get in trouble. But anyway, Jerry Jones, making a
weekly radio appearance, said of the now infamous report from
Jay Glazer over the weekend that Philadelphia Eagles, the reigning
(02:32):
champions of the NFL, had made an offer that was
supposedly bigger than the Green Bay Packers offer for Micah Parsons.
So Jerry Jones said that regarding that story, the Cowboys
never issued a counter offer to the Philadelphia football team
and the Micah Parsons trade sweepstakes. He described the trade
(02:53):
process as strategic. Of course he did. What was he
gonna say? Well, we really got played on that one.
Come on, we got our pants to pull down. He said,
there was no counter offer. Jerry Jones said the thought
all along was to see where the interest level was.
Jones opened, He said, it was very important. And from
(03:14):
the get go, he says, the effort on our part,
Jerry said, was to chump up interest. Jump jump jump
jump jump jump. Yeah. Okay, Now, once that interest really
started peaking, Jerry said, then you started having the phone ring.
And that's exactly what the plan was. To see if
that phone would ring in the proposition, be there enough
(03:40):
for us to make the move? All right, so let
us discuss. That's the end of that quote. So question,
what is your reaction on What is your reaction to
Jerry Jones and his explanation on the Micah Parsons trade
talks involving Philadelphia. There was no counter offer made to
the Eagles. So I've gotten musket lollipops and Neil Armstrong,
(04:03):
three things that have never been used in these same sentence,
but now will be used in the same mallet monologue. So,
and we'll put all these together. We're going to deprive
some oreos like the State Fair there, the County Fair
will deep fry those oriys. So a Jerry Jones pretending
I love this, this was the master plan, when we know,
based on his own words, that you're taking for what
(04:25):
they're worth. That Jerry Jones made an offer in was
it March somewhere around in March April May in that
area and offered Micah Parsons, he said, the biggest contract
for a non quarterback and then of a history. Now
what does that tell us? That tells us that if
Parsons had agreed to the deal and not said, oh
I love my sleeves ball agent and I want my
(04:47):
agent to be if Mike get agreed to that, then
therefore he would still be with the Dallas Cowboys. And
it also tells you what. It's a tell that the
Cowboys wanted no part of Micah Parsons in Kelly Green.
They want to know part of him in a Philadelphia
Egos uniform. And so Jerry's bluffing. It's it's kind of
like that show, which I guess is still on. I
(05:09):
think it's on Pond Stars where you Back in the
day I used to watch it. You'd walk into Rick
Harrison's pawn shop there in Vegas. Is the Las Vegas shop,
not in North Las Vegas, because there's a big difference,
as we know from our our friend that calls. But
you're going to the Rick Harrison shop there, and you
found your grandma's musket from the Civil War. So you've
(05:32):
got your grandma's musket from the Civil War. And then Rick,
of course goes Every show is the same. They're all
cookie cutter. So I'm really not sure how much is
it worth. Let me call in an expert on this.
I have a friend, you know, I have a friend
that works down at the museum somewhere, and I want
to bring him in. So then they bring the person in.
It from an old guy with a beard, and he
comes in there and he looks at the musket there,
and so he says, I'll offer you one hundred and
(05:54):
fifty dollars for that Civil War musket, and and of
course that means that he never wanted, never wanted the
damn thing anyway, right, he's over you one hundred and
fifty bucks. I just wanted to use that as some
kind of leverage and all that. And that's Jerry Jones, right,
that's Jerry Jones here, And you know what, he played
it safe, not the It's not the worst move in
(06:17):
the world. You send Parsons to Green Bay because you're
you're limiting the blowback. You're limiting the blowback is what
you're doing. Right, same conference. Yes it's in National Football Conference,
so's but it's not in the division, so it's not
a big market. It's the smallest market you can get,
green Bay. So you don't have to watch him twice
(06:38):
a year. You'll have to play him every once in
a while, like, for example, in a few weeks when
the Packers and Cowboys play and they get together in Texas.
But you don't have to watch him sack your quarterback
six seven, eight times a year and treat your quarterback
like a tackling dummy. You don't have to do that.
And he'll still haunt you. Bar gonna still haunt you,
(07:01):
but at least he's haunting you somewhat quietly in northern
Wisconsin where your celebrity gets muted. Well, Ben the packers
have a national fund. That is true, the packers have
a national following. However, it's just not the same, right,
it's not the same. You get buried under ten layers,
(07:22):
not of snow, of cheese curds. And they're delicious. They
are really good, man. I mean the Green Bay Gobblers
living the life. My brother lives up that way, living
the life there with all the delicious cheese. Oh, it's
so good. And so Jerry's out there and he's like
trying to sell pontoon boats out in Galveston. He's like, oh,
I get these boats are great, man, it's the deal
(07:43):
of a lifetime. You got to get one of these boats.
They're so good. It's going to complete your life. You
need this at this stage of your life. You need
a pontoon boat. You have to get it right. And
so you say, okay, I'll get it and all that,
I get it, and then it's just it's really he
just unloading a lemon, like you won't get a lemon. Well,
you got a lemon. You know, things leaking, you know,
(08:04):
it's a disaster and it's all rusted and all that stuff.
So it's classic Jerry like that. Jerry listen. I love it.
I'm a talk show host. I'm guilty as charged. Jerry's wonderful.
You know, spin, spin, Spin, It's like it's always Hanukah
for Jerry's always spinning the dradal he is. I Jerry
Jones trying to sell you on the idea that he
(08:25):
wanted Parsons in Green Bay and he really just wanted
to avoid going to the usual suspects in the division.
And it's like, but he wants to believe it's all
part of the plant. So how do you like them? Apples?
Now to Chicago. The fallout continues there as well. From
the Monday night coughing up of the fur ball by
(08:49):
the Chicago Bears, Wow, peu whatsting? So the Viking storm
back to knock out the Bears in a dramatic fourth
quarter comeback for the Ages, Chicago gagging away an eleven
point lead in the second half, and Caleb Williams some
comments he made after that game still have legs now
(09:10):
still bouncing around the echo chamber. People commenting about the
situation with one one was so Kyla was a very
positive outlook. He expressed his belief that he and Ben
Johnson worked well together, which we saw the quotes and
(09:31):
I kind of rolled my eyes at this. I said,
you know, I think if you did, it's like Fasst
doing Dodger talk, right, you know, and they know they're
praising the Dodger bullpen when they go out there and
write the vomit come at every Dodger game. It's like that.
You know. It's like, well, it was really positive. You know,
he didn't kill anyone with them, He didn't hit any
batters in the head with the pitch, and you're like, okay,
(09:51):
so very positive. Express the belief that Ben Johnson worked
well with him and all that. He said, I quote,
I think there was a lot of good there are communicator.
He was getting the plays in fast. Caleb Williams smirked.
All right, So question, how do you categorize the upbeat
comments from Caleb Williams after the Chicago Bears played like
(10:12):
choking dogs, not Bears choking dogs. So Caleb Williams working
as a brand Ambassador's no more nil in the NFL. Right,
He had that at USC But he made a killing
at sc Holy crap for a guy. That's the greatest
memory Caleb Williams had at USC is crying on his
mommy's shoulder. And he lived in a condo in downtown
(10:33):
LA with a skyline view and had everything taken care of.
And that was his contribution to USC football anyway. So
he's in the NFL now. He's now the brand ambassador
for lollipops dot com. Congratulations sugar coating a lot of
sugar coating there and celebrating the communication with his coach
(10:54):
in that terrific. My guys in Chicago, tree in Chicago,
and you fee me and all you it's wonderful, right, Yeah,
I'm sure you're very happy to have good communication. Solid. Yeah,
that's that. And like five Bucks, will get your cup
of coffee. You've got to have Starbucks. You get a
cup of coffee, like five Bucks. But based on what
we saw, Caleb Williams was fine when the training wheels
(11:17):
were on, which seems to me and what do I know,
I just to the overnight show. That seems problematic if
you're the Chicago Bears. Like when the game was scripted.
The beginning of the game, he came out ten for ten,
had a amazing quarterback rating eighty six yards passing was wonderful.
That scripted Caleb Williams. Okay, so let's move ahead now
(11:41):
on the broadcast. So that was the rehearsed version. That's
a Broadway show. You've memorized your lines. You've done it
for two years. You know every line and you know
every movement. It's muscle memory, all right. So that's fine.
So then shocker the rest of it. For some reason,
they had to play the rest of the game. Holy crap,
(12:01):
they had to play the rest of the game. And
how did that go? Well, they ran out of script
and then it became open mic night at the Second City.
And well after that, twenty five pass attempts, eleven completions.
I'm told that's not good. I'm told that's not good.
And just one hundred and twenty four yards, averaged like
(12:21):
five little less than five yards per pass attempt, and
had a touchdown passer rating in the seventies. So he
started ten to ten from the early part of the
second quarter, he completed his tenth pass until the end
of the game, so the second half and most of
the second quarter a passer rating in the seventies. That
is flop sweat City is what that is. You're the
(12:45):
mayor of flop sweat City. Congratulations, you drowned on the stage.
You did. And this is the NFL. You don't get
to play with flash cards more than just a brief
period of each game first quarter. After the first quarter,
you generally do not get to play with the flash cards.
Does not happen. So once the Vikings and Brian Flores,
who's still suing the NFL, once they made the adjustments,
(13:07):
Caleb Williams, he looked like the guy who lost his
lines and then just started mumbling mumbo bumbo bumble. Yeah,
just like that, and there's there's the next part of it.
Just drove drove me nuts. And again, I don't have
his skin in the game. It's not my team. Okay,
it's not my team, but I go into this looking
like if it was my team, what would my position be.
(13:29):
So I'm approaching this as if I were a card
carrying member like Lucky Tony of the Chicago Bears fan so,
and this got upset Lucky Tony and Tree and all
you Chicago apologists out there, because Williams he stated that
this is a growing process, is what he said. And
(13:50):
that just drove me us because that is the exact
same line of communication to use Caleb williamstern that we
have gotten doing this talk show talking about the Chicago
Bears for many, many years behind the powerful microphones of
Fox Sports Radio. That's the kind of thing that should
(14:11):
scare the crap out of Chicago Bears fans because it's
always always a growing process. I remember that this guy
named Mitch Trubisky who would go out there he needed
a diaper. Trubisky, okay, and he was actually good compared
to these other sniffs that followed. They said, well, it
takes time. It's a growing process. We're still waiting on
Mitch Trubisky. How many teams has he played for? How
(14:34):
many teams does the player? Then you got justin Fields,
same thing, growing process. Now we have we have the trifecta.
Caleb Williams. It's a growing it's a growing process. Caleb
Williams said, Okay, so generally speaking, I don't care about
the play clock. I know, oh you're a bet talk
show host. I don't care about the playclock clock. I
(14:55):
don't and I do not care about, you know, getting
the call quickly and all that stuff. You blew an
eleven point lead at home to a guy that was
also having the cold sweats there Jj McCarthy, who looked
dreadful until the fourth quarter. So that's a bad job
(15:16):
by all involved here. And so Caleb Williams still watering
the plant in that great we'll check back in your
seven or eight see how he's doing. All right now,
last word to La we Go, where Jim Harbaugh has
dazzled us yet again. The Chargers head football coach. There
Jim Harbaugh commenting at his weekly news conference about quarterback
(15:36):
Justin Herbert and the toughness that he showed against Cannsa
City in Brazil. And Jim Harbaugh said, quote, he said,
a hit that Herbert took. You might remember he saw
the game was on the YouTube. He said, the kind
of hit that would have killed a lesser man. That's
(15:59):
Jim Harbor all commenting on a hit that was received
by his quarterback Justin Herbert. He said, again, quote the
kind of hit that would have killed a lesser man.
Close quote all right, So how does that quote hit you?
So we know going into this that horrball Jim Harball,
not John. Jim Harball a walking SoundBite machine, just always
(16:23):
a step away from going viral and all that. But
that's even by that standard the line that that hit
would have killed a lesser man. So I guess Herbert's
now resputant, right, the Russian guy, the healer there from Russia.
And it's a classic harball though. You know what, it
(16:45):
reminded me of years ago. There was this guy named
Chuck Pagotto, who's a terrible head coach but a great SoundBite.
And Pagatto was coaching the Indianapolis Colts and they had
a quarterback named Matt Hasselbeck. And Matt Hasselbeck was an
older quarterback at the time, not very good, and he
went out there and layed well enough for the Colts
to win the game. And we used to play this.
You know, we've been through a million board ops so
(17:06):
that nobody knows the old drops. But he had this
line and it was on like a Thursday night game
and I came in after the game and he said
that Matt Hasselbeck was literally on his deathbed. In the postgame,
we were like, oh, man, it's pretty good. You got
up there were you had a priest in there to
give you your last rights, and then right away, boom,
(17:26):
you got right up and led them win. So hardball.
He must have remembered that filed that quote away back
in the day and thought, well, hold my kakis, here
I go. And he cannot resist the mellow, dramatic tongue
bath for his quarterback. He can't do it right, and
he can't resist it. Now, May we all have someone
in our lives, someone that is in love with you
(17:52):
the way that Jim Harbaugh is in love with Justin Herbert.
The kneeling he's always got Justin Herbert kneepads on. It's
just wild, Like every news conference is a very similar there,
waxing poetic about Herbert, like he's a war hero. He's
doing the same guy that would tell you, Jim Harball
that Justin Herbert would have been able to land the
(18:15):
Apollo eleven if Neil Armstrong had twisted his ankle that
Herbert was even though he wasn't alive, then he would
have he would have come to the world a little earlier,
and he would have replaced the Neil Armstrong. It's like
the Office Chargers edition when Harbaugh's when he's doing this
thing right, Harbaugh's basically Dwight from the office and he's
(18:38):
standing over Justin Herbert after he got hit screaming, we
need we need a medic, stat we need a medic
He might be concussed. He might be concussed. And then
of course Herbert pops right back up and he brushes
himself off, and there's there's Jim Harball playing the Dwight character, saying,
you know what, I'm gonna write you up. You deserve
a purple heart. You deserve because you got hit in
(19:01):
a football game. And that's it. And so there you
must be nominated for a purple heart. And Herbert listen,
he takes a second, and you got Jim Harbough out there.
It's like some kind of make a wish type situation.
It's it's just great. He's America survived. He survived. It's
a miracle. I get it. You want to pump up
your guy, I understand. However, when all you do is
(19:26):
give the guy the tongue bath, it just we don't
take anything to say like it's legit. We don't anyway.

eye flight all night long to the wee hours of
the morning. And if you'd like to join the fun,
you can call in at eight seven seven ninety nine

(21:38):
Most too busy hiding. But you can also hide behind
a fake avatar wow like Ferdnog or Alf and contribute
to the show. Yeah at Ben Mahlor, that's at Ben Mahler.
If you'd like to be part, you can sailo to Lorena,
(22:00):
the FSR Tech Queen and Coople a little bit a
Brocco fan. Your comments can and most likely will be
used against you. And remember social media posts are open
to interpretation. It's very important to remember that some of
you don't know that the kangaroo court will judge you.
(22:21):
And now back to it all, right, back to it
we go. And Lorena was very proud of the shirt
that she's wearing. I don't know what shirt. It's a
Pond Star shirt. Have you been to the Pond Stars?
Love that place? They actually have a bar next store,
Rick the Pond Star owner. Oh, he has a bar. Yes, okay,
it's a barbecue spot. It's right across from like the
(22:44):
city hall in Vague. Oh is it? I've never lived
across the street besides the shop. Yeah, there's a right
down that street. I mean may they moved. I went
there years ago. I haven't been to the to the
Pond Stars place, but it's it's right near where the
iHeart studios are there and non Fremont. Yes, not that
far away yet very close. Yes, I'm not sure. It
is just a black tank top and it says pawn Star.
(23:04):
It doesn't say Stars. That's a ripoff. That's a ripoff
on there for thirty five dollars. Well, the s would
have cost more money. The ink for the S on
the shirt would have cost more money. Why not the s?
Probably we will. We will spare no expense. At some
point here, we are deep negotiations on Malard merch So
when we get the Mallard merch shop up, we will
have we will spare no expense. We will have the
(23:26):
full s.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
You know how, We'll see because I think what is
happening here is you're not so much like advertising like,
oh I'm a fan of the show. You're saying I
am a pawn star. So I think the equivalent would
be like if you had Mallard militia shirts, you could
also have a Malarn militant.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Well, they're having people asking for Malard militia shirts, and
one guy in particularly keeps eating you against shirts. There
were other radio show has shirts. I'm like, dude, it's
not my priority. I have my keychain. You do? They
were the key chains? We had some of those made.
But we'll see. We'll get to that at some point.
So did you buy anything of the pawn shop? Did
you did you buy any just the shore? Well you
(24:09):
actually were trying to sell. Yeah, I got a I
got a pin, you know, I like my pins? Is
that just still on the air? Pond stores have a podcast,
of course, everyone's even I have a podcast. Everyone's got
you know why everyone loves audio content. That's why everyone
loves audio content. And it's the coolest thing in the world.
Everyone wants to do audio content, that's the thing. It's
they all want to be like radio people. Podcast is
(24:32):
just radio on tape delay. That's all it is. Anyway,
all right, we'll take some calls here and your witty
witty comments, because we love your witty, witty, witty witty comments. Absolutely,
let's see here. Shane in the Moyes says, I think
I found Lorrains King of Hearts, and I'm betting she
(24:52):
does not know who that is. Ferg Dog says, I
trust Jim Harbaugh if he says, Justin Herbert is as
tough as you been, and I believe it now. If
Harbaugh said Herbert is as good a talker as you,
I would call BS. Late Night drug tester says Jim
Harball was thinking of a different part of South America.
(25:13):
The only hit that would take out a lesser man
is from the Bam Bam from Columbia. So he says,
now Justin in Cincinnati, he has changed. Justin has changed.
He used to call the show a lot. He used
to be very active on the show. Count kind of
hides in the background and he complains, he'say, you don't
need to tell us you don't care about the clock.
(25:35):
We know, well, Justin, I am all about the clock.
For the clock and about the clock, So I don't
know what you're talking about. Tom, and Fullerton writes. In says,
Jim Harbaugh is part pro wrestling manager. He's on a
mission need. If he leads the Bolts to a super
Bowl ring, he'd be heralded as one of the greatest
coaches ever. Yes, wing the Bolts, he says, a ring
(25:59):
and would be the same as winning four rings for
any other team. So you're using my material, Tom, that
is my proprietary blend of material that I have used
for years. About the people's team, the Clippers, Brock rights,
In says, I like Caleb Williams. That's the Bears quarterback.
I like Caleb Williams. Man he missed a lot of
open receivers with wild wild rockets, Yes he did, and
(26:23):
also holding the ball for too long which is a
pet peeve. But a lot of low information fans they
think all the sacks and all that, well, they're on.
They're clearly on. The fat guys. Blame the fat guys,
the offensive lineman and all that. Blame them. It's their fault.
And now Caleb Williams only sacked twice, but he still
held the ball for way too long, multiple times, like
(26:46):
it was an issue. It's problematic and it's gonna haunt
them for a while. Spock's weed rites in says, all right,
the vomit comet has been seen above the skies in
sweet Home. There you go? Who else? J J from Renton?
That's in Washington, Washington State Rights since says Caleb Williams
(27:10):
was thinking about that manny and the petty after the
game been he was distracted. It could be might have been,
might have been distracted, clearly, Absolutely, a good pedicure can
do that to you. Ryan writes and says, excuse me
if this was already covered on the show, But when
did Sofi Stadium turn into the waffle house? The white
(27:30):
girl there got her face smashed in all bloody and
took an ass whooping. Yeah, I wear I've seen the video. Uh,
that was a big fight at the RAM game and
the upper deck there at SOFI a Houston Texans fan,
which I didn't know existed. That was the most shocking
part of that video. There were people wearing Texans jerseys.
(27:51):
It's like, wow, but no, she there was a I
guess she's suing. I read somewhere that she's going to
file a lawsuit at She's gonna sue the stadium, which
is we don't know all the details. I just based
on the video. I think she's got a pretty compelling case.
That security took a while to get down there, and
they didn't do their job, and she was out numbered
(28:11):
by the mob. And let's see what kind of language
if it stands up in court. Oh yeah this Uh okay, Coop,
do you sneeze everything? Okay, okay, good, you're gonna get
sick Lorena from from coops? Oh I hope not. Uh yeah. Yeah.
So this young woman, she looked maybe around your age, Lorena,
(28:33):
I don't know, and she was wearing a Texans jersey.
She was another guy who's also a Texans fan, and
they were outnumbered by Ram fans. And then eventually one
thing led to another. There was like a kid involved.
The people put a they use their kid. They put
their kid in the seat where these people were supposed
to sit, and then nobody moved the kid, and so
then that became an issue, and then it led to violence.
(28:55):
And yeah, she, let's just say she she he eats
like a tomato can. There's a lot of I mean,
there's a lot of a lot of bloo. Okay, I
need to watch this video. A lot of blood. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
super Marcus Steve Wrightson says, I'm pretty sure Malar's shirts exist.
In fact, I wore one at the meet and greet
in Las Vegas two years ago. I do remember that.
(29:16):
I do remember you wearing the shirt. But those were
those were not official, officially sanctioned mall. Those were ripoff.
Those were counterfeit version T shirts is what that was.
Rob the goat Man says, I think Lorena's shirt is
a play on the old nineties T shirts. And then
I said porn and then got the Jerry Jones logo,
(29:40):
Oh thorns. Interesting. Yeah you get a different look on
that shirt now, yeah, a little bit. I still like
it though, you enjoy it, Okay, that's good. I still
wear it. Nice Let's go to the Let's go to
the phones. Rob you by the way, says, good job by.
You bash Justin always deserve. It's not really bashing. It's
(30:04):
just pointing out that Justin is. Russef told me you've changed.
He told me, the great Russef. Well you've changed, Justin,
you have changed. All right, to the phones we go.
Let's sailo to Jola, who's in Dallas. He's going off
there he is. He's always smiling, this guy. He's the
happiest guy in the world.
Speaker 6 (30:22):
Hello, la man, I've been showing man, I've been listening. Now,
I've been listening now. I called in the other day.
I got too, I thought toop with Dave Lorraine. I said,
he said he's married. I said, God, I mean I
was chatting on that deal. Man, Man, you are correct.
Man Y's army with these uh which a ciphers?
Speaker 1 (30:43):
You go on.
Speaker 6 (30:44):
But let me tell you about this weekend. Let me
tell you you're right about the Justin Herbert deal. But why
doesn't Allball take a friend's guy what's his name that
almost got cut on the forty nine ers color Kaepernick.
He didn't say nothing about him like that.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
But well, he did actually when he was in well,
remember Hardball was gone by the time Kaepernick did all that. Yeah,
he was gone. So he did publicly and didn't Didn't
he offer him a coaching job. I believe he did
when he got to he.
Speaker 6 (31:13):
Went to Michigan.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
No, no, well he brought him. He brought him to
Michigan Kaepernick to like, should talk to the team, But
he offered him a coaching job with the Chargers when
he got the job in l A and Kaepernick, I guess,
didn't return the call.
Speaker 6 (31:26):
So okay, yeah he's this is a department man. No,
it was a good week in the football man. I
loved it. I loved it. Man. Let me tell you
about something really irks me. This is the worst of
the weekend. New York Giants Brian dave Ball gotta get fired.
I was watching that game and I saw him run
a play for an offensive lineman to go get a touchdown.
(31:48):
He brought it back right at the camp statabu the
next play. I said, this guy is unserious. He's running
an un serious football team. He saw Daniel Jones this
weekend killing it.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Barkley, wasn't it Wasn't that more about the Dolphins just playing.
I don't get to go there. Okay, I don't give
I don't give an f That's the way the Dolphins
approached that game is I don't really we're not into this.
We're annoyed Dallas.
Speaker 6 (32:13):
And that's what I was gonna go there too. The
Dolphins there, man, that coach, he's the softest sharman they had.
Look at the unkings. They had that the coordinator at
their head coach. They fired him. The defensive coordinator won
that game for that young quarterback. The other day he
had that playing d N linebackers of the slaw and safety.
(32:34):
I said, what's going on? He told them to draft
Justin Herbert, the guy that hart Ball blames us. They said, no,
we're gonna get to us. And now look at them.
I'm glad he shoes the league, but nah, I'm not.
Let's and the other thing that last say, uh yeah,
Aaron Rodgers not done? Oh my god, he does.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
No, he's not done. But you know it's hold off.
I mean he did play the Jets.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Two things, the.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Biggest, well the big the biggest problem with with Aaron
Rodgers when he played with the Jets is he couldn't
play the Jets. That's the biggest problem. When you play
for the Jets, you can't play the Jets. That's the problem.
So one game, Yeah, well, I know, I will see
what he does this week. I mean, you don't want
to make too many strong opinions based on one week
(33:27):
of football, right, because you get burned. No, I mean,
we do have to make opinions, but you'd also you
end up getting burned.
Speaker 6 (33:35):
And I don't think that defense will give up that
many points again, but I also think the offense won't
score that much neither.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
But yeah, all right, all right, we're here. Look at
that was that was a good football phone call. That
was like real sports talk radio. We're not used to that.
That's a shocking call. Like that's that's a classic sports
radio phone called by Jola. I did bring up Brian Dayball,
the coach of the Giants, and there are rumors that
(34:00):
day Ball will not make it through the season if
this continues the way it's going. Obviously, the Giants pathetic,
futile effort against the Washington football team. And there's already
a name being tossed out, John Gruden. John Gruden, his
name tossed around that he's in the que waiting for
the opportunity to coach the Giants. Good luck on that.
(34:21):
He's also suing the NFL. Generally that doesn't work. Although
Brian Flores is also suing the NFL and still coaching.
He's the defensive guru there in Minnesota, So John Cruden
hanging out there. Mostly what Gruden's doing now is just
opening boxes of stuff. My friend sports with Coleman. He
loves sending me these videos where people just send John
(34:43):
Gruden like giant boxes, Like the Seattle Mariners send him
all of Cal Rawley's catching equipment. It was ridiculous, Like
John Gruten does he need that? Anyway? It is the
Ben Mahler Show. As we press on time now for
the who Am I? Game? We had a kicker released
by the forty nine Ers who was a third round pick.
Of the ten NFL kickers drafted in the top one
(35:03):
hundred and seventy five the last ten drafts, I'm the
only one who made it past that first game of
his third season with the team that drafted the player.
So again, of the ten kickers drafted top one hundred
and seventy five last ten drafts, I'm the only one
who made it past the first game. Who of the
third season with the team that drafted the player? Who
(35:24):
am I? That is the question? The answer. We'll get
to it. We will do it next.

from Compton, Harrison MeVis from Andy. What do you say?
Arena I'm gonna go with Chum Lee Ben No, it's
(38:53):
Evan McPherson the Bengals. Evan McPherson the Cincinnati Bengals,
Here we go. Welcome, it's our number one. Happy Wednesday,
It's hump Day, the tenth day of September, and here
in our number one. What is your reaction to Jerry
jones explanation on Micah Parson's trade and the conversations with
the Philadelphia Eagles, specifically, we react to what Jerry had
(00:24):
to say. Also, how do you categorize how do he
categorize the upbeat comments from Caleb Williams after the Bears
choked on Monday Night football. And another humdinger of a
quote from Jim Harbaugh, the Charger coach, on quarterback Justin
Herbert's toughness took a sack versus Kansas City and Harbaugh said,
the kind of a hit that would have killed a
(00:46):
lesser man with his dead pan delivery, How does that
quote hit you? We'll go there right now. It's our
number one. It's all about the counter or no counter.
(01:07):
Welcome in not begating of another night of the Ben
Mahler Show. We are in the air everywhere, woggling through
the night as we are scheming and dreaming while staying awake,
coast to coast, border to border and beyond on the
(01:27):
vast and fantastically powerful microphones of fsre ammundating live from
the Way do It live as we are learning the
hard away from the Fox Sports Radio Studios, the world
famous Fox Sports Radio series as approved by Fred in Nebraska,
(01:47):
Fred big Fan. Unless well, he works the day shift,
so we'll hear this later on the treaded day shift
listening to the podcast. But our lead this hour from
deep in the heart of Texas and Dallas. The follow
up to the follow up, follow up to the follow up,
as we settle into the night here Jerry's world. So
some news out there's always news because Jerry does a
(02:10):
lot of radio. He's old school that way, to do
some podcasts with the guys Tickles toes. He goes on
the radio. Of course, if they say anything bad about him,
they'll get in trouble. But anyway, Jerry Jones, making a
weekly radio appearance, said of the now infamous report from
Jay Glazer over the weekend that Philadelphia Eagles, the reigning
(02:32):
champions of the NFL, had made an offer that was
supposedly bigger than the Green Bay Packers offer for Micah Parsons.
So Jerry Jones said that regarding that story, the Cowboys
never issued a counter offer to the Philadelphia football team
and the Micah Parsons trade sweepstakes. He described the trade
(02:53):
process as strategic. Of course he did. What was he
gonna say? Well, we really got played on that one.
Come on, we got our pants to pull down. He said,
there was no counter offer. Jerry Jones said the thought
all along was to see where the interest level was.
Jones opened, He said, it was very important. And from
(03:14):
the get go, he says, the effort on our part,
Jerry said, was to chump up interest. Jump jump jump
jump jump jump. Yeah. Okay, Now, once that interest really
started peaking, Jerry said, then you started having the phone ring.
And that's exactly what the plan was. To see if
that phone would ring in the proposition, be there enough
(03:40):
for us to make the move? All right, so let
us discuss. That's the end of that quote. So question,
what is your reaction on What is your reaction to
Jerry Jones and his explanation on the Micah Parsons trade
talks involving Philadelphia. There was no counter offer made to
the Eagles. So I've gotten musket lollipops and Neil Armstrong,
(04:03):
three things that have never been used in these same sentence,
but now will be used in the same mallet monologue. So,
and we'll put all these together. We're going to deprive
some oreos like the State Fair there, the County Fair
will deep fry those oriys. So a Jerry Jones pretending
I love this, this was the master plan, when we know,
based on his own words, that you're taking for what
(04:25):
they're worth. That Jerry Jones made an offer in was
it March somewhere around in March April May in that
area and offered Micah Parsons, he said, the biggest contract
for a non quarterback and then of a history. Now
what does that tell us? That tells us that if
Parsons had agreed to the deal and not said, oh
I love my sleeves ball agent and I want my
(04:47):
agent to be if Mike get agreed to that, then
therefore he would still be with the Dallas Cowboys. And
it also tells you what. It's a tell that the
Cowboys wanted no part of Micah Parsons in Kelly Green.
They want to know part of him in a Philadelphia
Egos uniform. And so Jerry's bluffing. It's it's kind of
like that show, which I guess is still on. I
(05:09):
think it's on Pond Stars where you Back in the
day I used to watch it. You'd walk into Rick
Harrison's pawn shop there in Vegas. Is the Las Vegas shop,
not in North Las Vegas, because there's a big difference,
as we know from our our friend that calls. But
you're going to the Rick Harrison shop there, and you
found your grandma's musket from the Civil War. So you've
(05:32):
got your grandma's musket from the Civil War. And then Rick,
of course goes Every show is the same. They're all
cookie cutter. So I'm really not sure how much is
it worth. Let me call in an expert on this.
I have a friend, you know, I have a friend
that works down at the museum somewhere, and I want
to bring him in. So then they bring the person in.
It from an old guy with a beard, and he
comes in there and he looks at the musket there,
and so he says, I'll offer you one hundred and
(05:54):
fifty dollars for that Civil War musket, and and of
course that means that he never wanted, never wanted the
damn thing anyway, right, he's over you one hundred and
fifty bucks. I just wanted to use that as some
kind of leverage and all that. And that's Jerry Jones, right,
that's Jerry Jones here, And you know what, he played
it safe, not the It's not the worst move in
(06:17):
the world. You send Parsons to Green Bay because you're
you're limiting the blowback. You're limiting the blowback is what
you're doing. Right, same conference. Yes it's in National Football Conference,
so's but it's not in the division, so it's not
a big market. It's the smallest market you can get,
green Bay. So you don't have to watch him twice
(06:38):
a year. You'll have to play him every once in
a while, like, for example, in a few weeks when
the Packers and Cowboys play and they get together in Texas.
But you don't have to watch him sack your quarterback
six seven, eight times a year and treat your quarterback
like a tackling dummy. You don't have to do that.
And he'll still haunt you. Bar gonna still haunt you,
(07:01):
but at least he's haunting you somewhat quietly in northern
Wisconsin where your celebrity gets muted. Well, Ben the packers
have a national fund. That is true, the packers have
a national following. However, it's just not the same, right,
it's not the same. You get buried under ten layers,
(07:22):
not of snow, of cheese curds. And they're delicious. They
are really good, man. I mean the Green Bay Gobblers
living the life. My brother lives up that way, living
the life there with all the delicious cheese. Oh, it's
so good. And so Jerry's out there and he's like
trying to sell pontoon boats out in Galveston. He's like, oh,
I get these boats are great, man, it's the deal
(07:43):
of a lifetime. You got to get one of these boats.
They're so good. It's going to complete your life. You
need this at this stage of your life. You need
a pontoon boat. You have to get it right. And
so you say, okay, I'll get it and all that,
I get it, and then it's just it's really he
just unloading a lemon, like you won't get a lemon. Well,
you got a lemon. You know, things leaking, you know,
(08:04):
it's a disaster and it's all rusted and all that stuff.
So it's classic Jerry like that. Jerry listen. I love it.
I'm a talk show host. I'm guilty as charged. Jerry's wonderful.
You know, spin, spin, Spin, It's like it's always Hanukah
for Jerry's always spinning the dradal he is. I Jerry
Jones trying to sell you on the idea that he
(08:25):
wanted Parsons in Green Bay and he really just wanted
to avoid going to the usual suspects in the division.
And it's like, but he wants to believe it's all
part of the plant. So how do you like them? Apples?
Now to Chicago. The fallout continues there as well. From
the Monday night coughing up of the fur ball by
(08:49):
the Chicago Bears, Wow, peu whatsting? So the Viking storm
back to knock out the Bears in a dramatic fourth
quarter comeback for the Ages, Chicago gagging away an eleven
point lead in the second half, and Caleb Williams some
comments he made after that game still have legs now
(09:10):
still bouncing around the echo chamber. People commenting about the
situation with one one was so Kyla was a very
positive outlook. He expressed his belief that he and Ben
Johnson worked well together, which we saw the quotes and
(09:31):
I kind of rolled my eyes at this. I said,
you know, I think if you did, it's like Fasst
doing Dodger talk, right, you know, and they know they're
praising the Dodger bullpen when they go out there and
write the vomit come at every Dodger game. It's like that.
You know. It's like, well, it was really positive. You know,
he didn't kill anyone with them, He didn't hit any
batters in the head with the pitch, and you're like, okay,
(09:51):
so very positive. Express the belief that Ben Johnson worked
well with him and all that. He said, I quote,
I think there was a lot of good there are communicator.
He was getting the plays in fast. Caleb Williams smirked.
All right, So question, how do you categorize the upbeat
comments from Caleb Williams after the Chicago Bears played like
(10:12):
choking dogs, not Bears choking dogs. So Caleb Williams working
as a brand Ambassador's no more nil in the NFL. Right,
He had that at USC But he made a killing
at sc Holy crap for a guy. That's the greatest
memory Caleb Williams had at USC is crying on his
mommy's shoulder. And he lived in a condo in downtown
(10:33):
LA with a skyline view and had everything taken care of.
And that was his contribution to USC football anyway. So
he's in the NFL now. He's now the brand ambassador
for lollipops dot com. Congratulations sugar coating a lot of
sugar coating there and celebrating the communication with his coach
(10:54):
in that terrific. My guys in Chicago, tree in Chicago,
and you fee me and all you it's wonderful, right, Yeah,
I'm sure you're very happy to have good communication. Solid. Yeah,
that's that. And like five Bucks, will get your cup
of coffee. You've got to have Starbucks. You get a
cup of coffee, like five Bucks. But based on what
we saw, Caleb Williams was fine when the training wheels
(11:17):
were on, which seems to me and what do I know,
I just to the overnight show. That seems problematic if
you're the Chicago Bears. Like when the game was scripted.
The beginning of the game, he came out ten for ten,
had a amazing quarterback rating eighty six yards passing was wonderful.
That scripted Caleb Williams. Okay, so let's move ahead now
(11:41):
on the broadcast. So that was the rehearsed version. That's
a Broadway show. You've memorized your lines. You've done it
for two years. You know every line and you know
every movement. It's muscle memory, all right. So that's fine.
So then shocker the rest of it. For some reason,
they had to play the rest of the game. Holy crap,
(12:01):
they had to play the rest of the game. And
how did that go? Well, they ran out of script
and then it became open mic night at the Second City.
And well after that, twenty five pass attempts, eleven completions.
I'm told that's not good. I'm told that's not good.
And just one hundred and twenty four yards, averaged like
(12:21):
five little less than five yards per pass attempt, and
had a touchdown passer rating in the seventies. So he
started ten to ten from the early part of the
second quarter, he completed his tenth pass until the end
of the game, so the second half and most of
the second quarter a passer rating in the seventies. That
is flop sweat City is what that is. You're the
(12:45):
mayor of flop sweat City. Congratulations, you drowned on the stage.
You did. And this is the NFL. You don't get
to play with flash cards more than just a brief
period of each game first quarter. After the first quarter,
you generally do not get to play with the flash cards.
Does not happen. So once the Vikings and Brian Flores,
who's still suing the NFL, once they made the adjustments,
(13:07):
Caleb Williams, he looked like the guy who lost his
lines and then just started mumbling mumbo bumbo bumble. Yeah,
just like that, and there's there's the next part of it.
Just drove drove me nuts. And again, I don't have
his skin in the game. It's not my team. Okay,
it's not my team, but I go into this looking
like if it was my team, what would my position be.
(13:29):
So I'm approaching this as if I were a card
carrying member like Lucky Tony of the Chicago Bears fan so,
and this got upset Lucky Tony and Tree and all
you Chicago apologists out there, because Williams he stated that
this is a growing process, is what he said. And
(13:50):
that just drove me us because that is the exact
same line of communication to use Caleb williamstern that we
have gotten doing this talk show talking about the Chicago
Bears for many, many years behind the powerful microphones of
Fox Sports Radio. That's the kind of thing that should
(14:11):
scare the crap out of Chicago Bears fans because it's
always always a growing process. I remember that this guy
named Mitch Trubisky who would go out there he needed
a diaper. Trubisky, okay, and he was actually good compared
to these other sniffs that followed. They said, well, it
takes time. It's a growing process. We're still waiting on
Mitch Trubisky. How many teams has he played for? How
(14:34):
many teams does the player? Then you got justin Fields,
same thing, growing process. Now we have we have the trifecta.
Caleb Williams. It's a growing it's a growing process. Caleb
Williams said, Okay, so generally speaking, I don't care about
the play clock. I know, oh you're a bet talk
show host. I don't care about the playclock clock. I
(14:55):
don't and I do not care about, you know, getting
the call quickly and all that stuff. You blew an
eleven point lead at home to a guy that was
also having the cold sweats there Jj McCarthy, who looked
dreadful until the fourth quarter. So that's a bad job
(15:16):
by all involved here. And so Caleb Williams still watering
the plant in that great we'll check back in your
seven or eight see how he's doing. All right now,
last word to La we Go, where Jim Harbaugh has
dazzled us yet again. The Chargers head football coach. There
Jim Harbaugh commenting at his weekly news conference about quarterback
(15:36):
Justin Herbert and the toughness that he showed against Cannsa
City in Brazil. And Jim Harbaugh said, quote, he said,
a hit that Herbert took. You might remember he saw
the game was on the YouTube. He said, the kind
of hit that would have killed a lesser man. That's
(15:59):
Jim Harbor all commenting on a hit that was received
by his quarterback Justin Herbert. He said, again, quote the
kind of hit that would have killed a lesser man.
Close quote all right, So how does that quote hit you?
So we know going into this that horrball Jim Harball,
not John. Jim Harball a walking SoundBite machine, just always
(16:23):
a step away from going viral and all that. But
that's even by that standard the line that that hit
would have killed a lesser man. So I guess Herbert's
now resputant, right, the Russian guy, the healer there from Russia.
And it's a classic harball though. You know what, it
(16:45):
reminded me of years ago. There was this guy named
Chuck Pagotto, who's a terrible head coach but a great SoundBite.
And Pagatto was coaching the Indianapolis Colts and they had
a quarterback named Matt Hasselbeck. And Matt Hasselbeck was an
older quarterback at the time, not very good, and he
went out there and layed well enough for the Colts
to win the game. And we used to play this.
You know, we've been through a million board ops so
(17:06):
that nobody knows the old drops. But he had this
line and it was on like a Thursday night game
and I came in after the game and he said
that Matt Hasselbeck was literally on his deathbed. In the postgame,
we were like, oh, man, it's pretty good. You got
up there were you had a priest in there to
give you your last rights, and then right away, boom,
(17:26):
you got right up and led them win. So hardball.
He must have remembered that filed that quote away back
in the day and thought, well, hold my kakis, here
I go. And he cannot resist the mellow, dramatic tongue
bath for his quarterback. He can't do it right, and
he can't resist it. Now, May we all have someone
in our lives, someone that is in love with you
(17:52):
the way that Jim Harbaugh is in love with Justin Herbert.
The kneeling he's always got Justin Herbert kneepads on. It's
just wild, Like every news conference is a very similar there,
waxing poetic about Herbert, like he's a war hero. He's
doing the same guy that would tell you, Jim Harball
that Justin Herbert would have been able to land the
(18:15):
Apollo eleven if Neil Armstrong had twisted his ankle that
Herbert was even though he wasn't alive, then he would
have he would have come to the world a little earlier,
and he would have replaced the Neil Armstrong. It's like
the Office Chargers edition when Harbaugh's when he's doing this
thing right, Harbaugh's basically Dwight from the office and he's
(18:38):
standing over Justin Herbert after he got hit screaming, we
need we need a medic, stat we need a medic
He might be concussed. He might be concussed. And then
of course Herbert pops right back up and he brushes
himself off, and there's there's Jim Harball playing the Dwight character, saying,
you know what, I'm gonna write you up. You deserve
a purple heart. You deserve because you got hit in
(19:01):
a football game. And that's it. And so there you
must be nominated for a purple heart. And Herbert listen,
he takes a second, and you got Jim Harbough out there.
It's like some kind of make a wish type situation.
It's it's just great. He's America survived. He survived. It's
a miracle. I get it. You want to pump up
your guy, I understand. However, when all you do is
(19:26):
give the guy the tongue bath, it just we don't
take anything to say like it's legit. We don't anyway.

stories that well, other shows don't seem to have the
time to discuss.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
And the fact that we've been friends for the last
twenty years and still work together, I mean that says something, right.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
So check us out.
Speaker 3 (20:54):

eye flight all night long to the wee hours of
the morning. And if you'd like to join the fun,
you can call in at eight seven seven ninety nine
on Fox. If you're up to the challenge. Most are
not only a few will ever call a radio show.
(21:38):
Most too busy hiding. But you can also hide behind
a fake avatar wow like Ferdnog or Alf and contribute
to the show. Yeah at Ben Mahlor, that's at Ben Mahler.
If you'd like to be part, you can sailo to Lorena,
(22:00):
the FSR Tech Queen and Coople a little bit a
Brocco fan. Your comments can and most likely will be
used against you. And remember social media posts are open
to interpretation. It's very important to remember that some of
you don't know that the kangaroo court will judge you.
(22:21):
And now back to it all, right, back to it
we go. And Lorena was very proud of the shirt
that she's wearing. I don't know what shirt. It's a
Pond Star shirt. Have you been to the Pond Stars?
Love that place? They actually have a bar next store,
Rick the Pond Star owner. Oh, he has a bar. Yes, okay,
it's a barbecue spot. It's right across from like the
(22:44):
city hall in Vague. Oh is it? I've never lived
across the street besides the shop. Yeah, there's a right
down that street. I mean may they moved. I went
there years ago. I haven't been to the to the
Pond Stars place, but it's it's right near where the
iHeart studios are there and non Fremont. Yes, not that
far away yet very close. Yes, I'm not sure. It
is just a black tank top and it says pawn Star.
(23:04):
It doesn't say Stars. That's a ripoff. That's a ripoff
on there for thirty five dollars. Well, the s would
have cost more money. The ink for the S on
the shirt would have cost more money. Why not the s?
Probably we will. We will spare no expense. At some
point here, we are deep negotiations on Malard merch So
when we get the Mallard merch shop up, we will
have we will spare no expense. We will have the
(23:26):
full s.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
You know how, We'll see because I think what is
happening here is you're not so much like advertising like,
oh I'm a fan of the show. You're saying I
am a pawn star. So I think the equivalent would
be like if you had Mallard militia shirts, you could
also have a Malarn militant.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Well, they're having people asking for Malard militia shirts, and
one guy in particularly keeps eating you against shirts. There
were other radio show has shirts. I'm like, dude, it's
not my priority. I have my keychain. You do? They
were the key chains? We had some of those made.
But we'll see. We'll get to that at some point.
So did you buy anything of the pawn shop? Did
you did you buy any just the shore? Well you
(24:09):
actually were trying to sell. Yeah, I got a I
got a pin, you know, I like my pins? Is
that just still on the air? Pond stores have a podcast,
of course, everyone's even I have a podcast. Everyone's got
you know why everyone loves audio content. That's why everyone
loves audio content. And it's the coolest thing in the world.
Everyone wants to do audio content, that's the thing. It's
they all want to be like radio people. Podcast is
(24:32):
just radio on tape delay. That's all it is. Anyway,
all right, we'll take some calls here and your witty
witty comments, because we love your witty, witty, witty witty comments. Absolutely,
let's see here. Shane in the Moyes says, I think
I found Lorrains King of Hearts, and I'm betting she
(24:52):
does not know who that is. Ferg Dog says, I
trust Jim Harbaugh if he says, Justin Herbert is as
tough as you been, and I believe it now. If
Harbaugh said Herbert is as good a talker as you,
I would call BS. Late Night drug tester says Jim
Harball was thinking of a different part of South America.
(25:13):
The only hit that would take out a lesser man
is from the Bam Bam from Columbia. So he says,
now Justin in Cincinnati, he has changed. Justin has changed.
He used to call the show a lot. He used
to be very active on the show. Count kind of
hides in the background and he complains, he'say, you don't
need to tell us you don't care about the clock.
(25:35):
We know, well, Justin, I am all about the clock.
For the clock and about the clock, So I don't
know what you're talking about. Tom, and Fullerton writes. In says,
Jim Harbaugh is part pro wrestling manager. He's on a
mission need. If he leads the Bolts to a super
Bowl ring, he'd be heralded as one of the greatest
coaches ever. Yes, wing the Bolts, he says, a ring
(25:59):
and would be the same as winning four rings for
any other team. So you're using my material, Tom, that
is my proprietary blend of material that I have used
for years. About the people's team, the Clippers, Brock rights,
In says, I like Caleb Williams. That's the Bears quarterback.
I like Caleb Williams. Man he missed a lot of
open receivers with wild wild rockets, Yes he did, and
(26:23):
also holding the ball for too long which is a
pet peeve. But a lot of low information fans they
think all the sacks and all that, well, they're on.
They're clearly on. The fat guys. Blame the fat guys,
the offensive lineman and all that. Blame them. It's their fault.
And now Caleb Williams only sacked twice, but he still
held the ball for way too long, multiple times, like
(26:46):
it was an issue. It's problematic and it's gonna haunt
them for a while. Spock's weed rites in says, all right,
the vomit comet has been seen above the skies in
sweet Home. There you go? Who else? J J from Renton?
That's in Washington, Washington State Rights since says Caleb Williams
(27:10):
was thinking about that manny and the petty after the
game been he was distracted. It could be might have been,
might have been distracted, clearly, Absolutely, a good pedicure can
do that to you. Ryan writes and says, excuse me
if this was already covered on the show, But when
did Sofi Stadium turn into the waffle house? The white
(27:30):
girl there got her face smashed in all bloody and
took an ass whooping. Yeah, I wear I've seen the video. Uh,
that was a big fight at the RAM game and
the upper deck there at SOFI a Houston Texans fan,
which I didn't know existed. That was the most shocking
part of that video. There were people wearing Texans jerseys.
(27:51):
It's like, wow, but no, she there was a I
guess she's suing. I read somewhere that she's going to
file a lawsuit at She's gonna sue the stadium, which
is we don't know all the details. I just based
on the video. I think she's got a pretty compelling case.
That security took a while to get down there, and
they didn't do their job, and she was out numbered
(28:11):
by the mob. And let's see what kind of language
if it stands up in court. Oh yeah this Uh okay, Coop,
do you sneeze everything? Okay, okay, good, you're gonna get
sick Lorena from from coops? Oh I hope not. Uh yeah. Yeah.
So this young woman, she looked maybe around your age, Lorena,
(28:33):
I don't know, and she was wearing a Texans jersey.
She was another guy who's also a Texans fan, and
they were outnumbered by Ram fans. And then eventually one
thing led to another. There was like a kid involved.
The people put a they use their kid. They put
their kid in the seat where these people were supposed
to sit, and then nobody moved the kid, and so
then that became an issue, and then it led to violence.
(28:55):
And yeah, she, let's just say she she he eats
like a tomato can. There's a lot of I mean,
there's a lot of a lot of bloo. Okay, I
need to watch this video. A lot of blood. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
super Marcus Steve Wrightson says, I'm pretty sure Malar's shirts exist.
In fact, I wore one at the meet and greet
in Las Vegas two years ago. I do remember that.
(29:16):
I do remember you wearing the shirt. But those were
those were not official, officially sanctioned mall. Those were ripoff.
Those were counterfeit version T shirts is what that was.
Rob the goat Man says, I think Lorena's shirt is
a play on the old nineties T shirts. And then
I said porn and then got the Jerry Jones logo,
(29:40):
Oh thorns. Interesting. Yeah you get a different look on
that shirt now, yeah, a little bit. I still like
it though, you enjoy it, Okay, that's good. I still
wear it. Nice Let's go to the Let's go to
the phones. Rob you by the way, says, good job by.
You bash Justin always deserve. It's not really bashing. It's
(30:04):
just pointing out that Justin is. Russef told me you've changed.
He told me, the great Russef. Well you've changed, Justin,
you have changed. All right, to the phones we go.
Let's sailo to Jola, who's in Dallas. He's going off
there he is. He's always smiling, this guy. He's the
happiest guy in the world.
Speaker 6 (30:22):
Hello, la man, I've been showing man, I've been listening. Now,
I've been listening now. I called in the other day.
I got too, I thought toop with Dave Lorraine. I said,
he said he's married. I said, God, I mean I
was chatting on that deal. Man, Man, you are correct.
Man Y's army with these uh which a ciphers?
Speaker 1 (30:43):
You go on.
Speaker 6 (30:44):
But let me tell you about this weekend. Let me
tell you you're right about the Justin Herbert deal. But why
doesn't Allball take a friend's guy what's his name that
almost got cut on the forty nine ers color Kaepernick.
He didn't say nothing about him like that.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
But well, he did actually when he was in well,
remember Hardball was gone by the time Kaepernick did all that. Yeah,
he was gone. So he did publicly and didn't Didn't
he offer him a coaching job. I believe he did
when he got to he.
Speaker 6 (31:13):
Went to Michigan.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
No, no, well he brought him. He brought him to
Michigan Kaepernick to like, should talk to the team, But
he offered him a coaching job with the Chargers when
he got the job in l A and Kaepernick, I guess,
didn't return the call.
Speaker 6 (31:26):
So okay, yeah he's this is a department man. No,
it was a good week in the football man. I
loved it. I loved it. Man. Let me tell you
about something really irks me. This is the worst of
the weekend. New York Giants Brian dave Ball gotta get fired.
I was watching that game and I saw him run
a play for an offensive lineman to go get a touchdown.
(31:48):
He brought it back right at the camp statabu the
next play. I said, this guy is unserious. He's running
an un serious football team. He saw Daniel Jones this
weekend killing it.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Barkley, wasn't it Wasn't that more about the Dolphins just playing.
I don't get to go there. Okay, I don't give
I don't give an f That's the way the Dolphins
approached that game is I don't really we're not into this.
We're annoyed Dallas.
Speaker 6 (32:13):
And that's what I was gonna go there too. The
Dolphins there, man, that coach, he's the softest sharman they had.
Look at the unkings. They had that the coordinator at
their head coach. They fired him. The defensive coordinator won
that game for that young quarterback. The other day he
had that playing d N linebackers of the slaw and safety.
(32:34):
I said, what's going on? He told them to draft
Justin Herbert, the guy that hart Ball blames us. They said, no,
we're gonna get to us. And now look at them.
I'm glad he shoes the league, but nah, I'm not.
Let's and the other thing that last say, uh yeah,
Aaron Rodgers not done? Oh my god, he does.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
No, he's not done. But you know it's hold off.
I mean he did play the Jets.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Two things, the.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Biggest, well the big the biggest problem with with Aaron
Rodgers when he played with the Jets is he couldn't
play the Jets. That's the biggest problem. When you play
for the Jets, you can't play the Jets. That's the problem.
So one game, Yeah, well, I know, I will see
what he does this week. I mean, you don't want
to make too many strong opinions based on one week
(33:27):
of football, right, because you get burned. No, I mean,
we do have to make opinions, but you'd also you
end up getting burned.
Speaker 6 (33:35):
And I don't think that defense will give up that
many points again, but I also think the offense won't
score that much neither.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
But yeah, all right, all right, we're here. Look at
that was that was a good football phone call. That
was like real sports talk radio. We're not used to that.
That's a shocking call. Like that's that's a classic sports
radio phone called by Jola. I did bring up Brian Dayball,
the coach of the Giants, and there are rumors that
(34:00):
day Ball will not make it through the season if
this continues the way it's going. Obviously, the Giants pathetic,
futile effort against the Washington football team. And there's already
a name being tossed out, John Gruden. John Gruden, his
name tossed around that he's in the que waiting for
the opportunity to coach the Giants. Good luck on that.
(34:21):
He's also suing the NFL. Generally that doesn't work. Although
Brian Flores is also suing the NFL and still coaching.
He's the defensive guru there in Minnesota, So John Cruden
hanging out there. Mostly what Gruden's doing now is just
opening boxes of stuff. My friend sports with Coleman. He
loves sending me these videos where people just send John
(34:43):
Gruden like giant boxes, Like the Seattle Mariners send him
all of Cal Rawley's catching equipment. It was ridiculous, Like
John Gruten does he need that? Anyway? It is the
Ben Mahler Show. As we press on time now for
the who Am I? Game? We had a kicker released
by the forty nine Ers who was a third round pick.
Of the ten NFL kickers drafted in the top one
(35:03):
hundred and seventy five the last ten drafts, I'm the
only one who made it past that first game of
his third season with the team that drafted the player.
So again, of the ten kickers drafted top one hundred
and seventy five last ten drafts, I'm the only one
who made it past the first game. Who of the
third season with the team that drafted the player? Who
(35:24):
am I? That is the question? The answer. We'll get
