Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Welcome, It's our number one, our number
one of the original Rescue podcast. Hope you had a
great weekend and check out the fifth Hour podcast also
Benny Versus de Penning now and then the YouTube a
soft launch to that over the weekend. But here in
our number one. Did Marcus Freeman, that's the coach at
(00:22):
Notre Dame and his squad get out coached, out played,
or out prepared as they go down to the University
of Miami? And are you buying that? The Hurricanes, the Canes,
the you are back as an apex predator in college football.
Will discuss that and what happened to that fighting Irish
(00:43):
defense and offensive line, the much balllyhooed offensive line pushed
around by Miami's defense, and that fighting Irish defense not
all that impressive. We'll talk about that and more right
now here. It is our number one, the Golden Dome
of Doom. If you will well post but not quite
(01:03):
Welcome in the beginning of another week of the Ben
Malor Show. We are in the air everywhere as we
come out swinging and ride the old bucket of bolts
wherever it takes us coast to coast, border to border
and beyond on the vast and prodigiously powerful microphones of
(01:27):
fs are amminating live from the basis as we cover
all the basis for the world famous Fox Sports Radio
studios as approved by truck Stop Fungus in this portion
of the Ben Mallory Show on Fox, made possible in
part by our friends at tire Rack. For over forty years,
ty Raq has been helping customers find the right tires
(01:49):

Speaker 2 (02:00):
The way tire buying.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Show would be so ill me. This hour is from
college football from Rainy South FLOORID and there was the
Island Game in college football on Sunday Sunday Night, made
for TV extravaganza. You have the national following good versus evil. Well,
back in the old days it was Catholics versus convicts.
(02:24):
But they don't say that anymore. Well some people do.
But there you had the old school batch. I don't
know if you're watching this or not. I had it
on the background. I was not fully engaged in they
put I had it on the background. I was observing
consuming the product. So if you didn't see this, it
came down to a dramatic finish as the fighting Irish
should rally back to tie the game, and then the
(02:47):
Hurricanes and their idiot kickers somebody named Carter Davis, which
sounds like he's on the PGA tour somewhere. But Carter
Davis hit a forty seven yard field goal with a
little over a minute to go on the clock, the
go ahead score, and did Notre Dame come back and
win the game? Now they did not Carson Beck, the
(03:09):
old Georgia quarterback, Carson Beck two hundred five yards a
couple of touchdowns in his Miami debut, and the Hurricanes
who came in. Is there anything more useless than a
preseason ranking in college football? He do that for TV.
But anyway, Carson Beck two hundred five yards. Miami came
into the year ranked tenth, and so they knock off
(03:30):
Notre Dame that was ranked six, twenty seven to twenty
four of the final in favor of the fellas from
South Florida. So the better story, though, is in the
losing locker room. We maintained that position. The better story
is in the losing locker room. So let us discuss
the question did coach Marcus Freeman's Notre Dame squad get
(03:51):
out coached, out played, or out prepared, because for much
of this game they were doing next to nothing.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Now, they didn't come back and tie the game.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
But I've got daily double zombies and mirage, and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make cotton candy, which is kind of what
that Notre Dame defense was like. For stretches in this game,
they were like cotton candy. So a the biggest gripe,
(04:21):
and I have no skin in the game on this,
but my biggest gripe if you're looking objectively about Notre Dame,
is that they they came out, they were not ready
for the beginning of the game here and there's no
exhibition games in college football.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
This is how it goes.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
We've seen this a lot, but your big bad Notre Dame,
and it was like the sleepy fighting Irish.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
There were the sleepy Irish there. Beginning of the game.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Took them about, by my malor estimate, about seventy five
percent of the game roughly to figure things out. And
so generally speaking, they don't tell you to do that.
It doesn't bode.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Well for winning.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
And a notre name was down by not one but
two touchdowns twenty one to seven going to the fourth
quarter at seven points over the first three quarters of
the game, and so it was an uphill battle. They
have a new quarterback now in South Bend, the great CJ.
Carr who CJ. Carr, who was spotty and as some
(05:22):
people go, he was great. Okay, made some plays late. Overall,
the numbers do not look all that bad if you're
a casual observer of college football. He finished with two
hundred and twenty something yards passing and the nineteen completions
and all that, a couple of touchdowns. Did have an
interception which bounced all over the place, and a rushing
(05:42):
score with three twenty one to go in the game.
That was what tied the game up. However, he was
missing and when I was watching and I had it
on the background, he was missing what looked to be
open receivers. I saw multiple miss throws there that could
have should have would have been either big play, scoring
plays or whatnot. So there was that, and you also
(06:03):
have the fact that he's got the build up which
they mentioned to Timer two, the grandson of an old
Michigan coach, Lloyd Carr. Although you could say, you know,
you can go down the list of anybody else name
car David Carr, big big moment, not getting it done,
that kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Anyway, the new Notre Dame quarterback.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Okay, not not horrific, not terrible, anything like that. But
now the Golden Omers, so you can get the schedule,
they're behind the eight balls. Well it's one game. There's
now a bunch of teams getting the playoffs, so it's
not the end of the world and all that, but
you are behind the eight ball if your Notre Dame
at this particular point. You start out zero to one
(06:45):
and then suddenly everything snowballs and everything comes a referendum.
You start losing. You lose another game that you're like, well,
that's the game we should have won. We lost that,
but we lost the first game. Then starts stacking up
and up next the Irish have a little bit of
a break and they will play Texas A and M
and Purdue. I'm sick and tired of losing to Purdue.
(07:05):
They'll play those games in South Bend, and then they
go on the road after that and play a second
division SEC team in Arkansas after that. All right, So
the other part about this, when you break the game down,
what happened to the fighting Irish defense and the offensive line.
When I was looking at the different matchups in college
(07:25):
football and I was observing the breathless blow by blow
reporting on what the teams are going to be like
this year, there was a lot of chatter about how
great the offensive line was going to be for Notre
Dame and how their defense was gonna be wonderful. I
was not impressed. I was not impressed. Well you Notre
Dame out a change to win the game. Well, you'd
be such a hater. All right, let me explain. So
the defense supposed to be elite. I didn't see elite.
(07:48):
Did you see elite? Maybe maybe I missed it. Maybe
I had to come out on the background, So maybe
I missed the elite defense because I didn't see that.
I was told this is a nasty defense.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
I didn't really see that.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
And this is going to be the thing that pushes
them because they have a first time started quarterback CJ. Carr,
So this defense was going to lead them there and
all that and now Carson Beck, who some people think
is going to be wonderful playing the NFL. And Carson Beck,
I believe he tried to go to the NFL and
the NFL said, you're not really really ready. I remember
reading about that, hearing about that. Anyway, Beck took the
(08:20):
nil bag. He goes down to Miami and he had
surgery on his elbow between the end of last season
and this season. He walks into hard Rock Stadium, and
by college football standards, he carved up what was supposed
to be a great Miami defense for again about three
quarters of the game, like it was a Thanksgiving turkey,
(08:42):
and so he had that and then the numbers were
there and he got the big check and all that
good for him.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Congratulations.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
The offensive line, though, which is supposed to be the
meat and potatoes. Again this is based on the scouting
report on the fighting irish here the offensive line, which
Freeman's talked up the head coach there, you look at
them and they were like manhandled at times by the
University of Miami defense in the trench warfare, which did
(09:08):
not go for much of this game in favor of
Notre Dame. And for now you put Notre Dame. I
have them down on my scorecard as overhyped, over ranked,
did not look like the sixth team in the country
for the first three quarters of that game. And the
fact that they lost the game, you say, you say,
under delivering in that first game. And he said, well,
(09:29):
it's not fair. It's only one game. Well, okay, this
is all we have to judge them on at this
particular point is one game. And they've got the biggest
brand in all of college football.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
You know it, I know it, every man, woman and
child knows it. Notre Dame.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
That's it, right. They are bigger than college football. They
represent an entire religion. And they went out there and
played like zombies. They played like zombies for a good
stretch of that night in prime time, in prime time.
And Marcus Free he's got all you know, he's been
to the Tony Robbins Seminar's got all the buzzwords, all
(10:04):
the terms where he's got everything on culture, grit, we've
got all that, Notre Dame football, physicality, all that.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Yeah, okay, and the lights.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Went on there. Little rainy, little condition is not the greatest,
but that's what you expect South Florida this time of
the year, and they they bent and eventually broke because
they lost the game. And now they can play the
blame game, which is always a fun game to play
the blame game. Who do you blame? Who? Who you're
gonna blame? All right, So you're supposed to be the
(10:32):
sixth ranked team according to the preseason rankings, and these
early season made for TV games measuring early measuring stick, right,
early measuring stick. You don't get any kind of mulligan
in college football. And where was that that close out punch?
They they did come back, right, they came a little
(10:52):
magic fourth quarter magic. But you don't get credit for
fourth quarter magic when you lose the game. When you
lose the game, you don't get credit for coming back
and tying the game because you lost it on a
field goal late, So you don't get credit for that.
That's generally how that works. Close, But no victory cigar
for the fighting average. Now on the other side, the
last word here, are you buying the Miami Hurricanes are
(11:16):
back Miami football? If you're old, you remember when Miami
dominated college football million years ago, back in the Stone age?
And are they back? Are they an apex predator now?
In college football. The Hurricanes have returned, so the U
is back. No, I'm not there yet either. I'm not Listen.
(11:37):
There were some good things there for the Hurricanes, and
you look at the big picture. They've been teasing you
for several years there in Miami. Mario Cristobal, the coach
who was supposed to fix everything, hasn't fixed everything yet.
Does this count as a signature win for you? Beat
(11:58):
Notre Dame? And I saw the stat Notre Dame hasn't
beaten Miami in Miami since nineteen seventy seven. Of course,
they don't play all the time. They don't play every year.
They did for a stretch, but they don't play every year.
So anyway, the coaching staff there, Mario Crystabaul Miami. They're
all excited they won the game. He but ild I
(12:18):
would hold off on the parade down Biscayne Boulevard there yet,
so we can crank up the old pump on the brakes.
You can pump the brakes right there, pump the brakes
on this. And again he said, well, it's unfair. You're
saying you're ripping Notre Dame. And I haven't taken the
shots to Notre Dame because they had higher expectations than Miami,
even though Miami was a top ten team. He just
(12:41):
look at this and he's like, is this I'm not
gonna say I'm in on this again. The quarterback look good.
I thought that Carson beck Beck for stretches looked good.
He was relatively solid, didn't throw up in his cleats,
which is always a step in the right through the
bar is very low. You did not puke in your cleats.
And not the second coming of Vinnie Testa Verdi or
(13:02):
Dick and Dayton's favorite quarterback Bernie Kozar, not the reincarnation
of either one of those guys. And the Kings had
that player last year who was the number one overall
pick the entire draft, and he's now playing toiling with
the Tennessee Titans. It didn't really matter that they by
NFL standards, they had a top quarterback last year and
(13:23):
put up some nice numbers in Miami didn't. The end
was not standing there smiling and flexing and all that stuff.
So the other part of this being a little gun
shy with the Miami Hurricanes is that they've I feel
like they've done this kind of thing. They don't do
it every year, but the last like ten years or so,
there have been some teases. There's been some molmons here
(13:46):
where they've come out of the gates and they've gotten
a nice win, and then they they have the flashy opener,
the Rasmataz. It was all excited, all right. There, you go, Miami,
get old national attention going there, and then by week
number six they're losing to They play Louisville. In weeks
they lose to Louisville, There'll be seven people watching that
game and they'll lose, right and you have the defense
(14:10):
that was, I guess supposed to be Miami defense. You know,
we didn't know what to expect. We thought they'd be okay,
and they were good for a good stretch of the game.
But late in the game Notre Dame was able to
get back and tie the game, and there was some
mistakes for the defense there late in the game and
gave up seventeen points in the fourth quarter. And so
(14:30):
that's your statement win early for the Miami Hurricanes. It's
also a warning sign. It's a bit of a warning
sign in there that you're supposed to close the game
out and not have to depend on your idiot kicker
there to win the game late and they were clinging.
They were holding on like a cart a cat hanging
on to a screen door, just trying to hold on.
(14:51):

Speaker 2 (19:23):
That's what happens. You do them too well, I should
do I should.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Do I should do them temp. I hear some of
these other guys do these live reads and it's like
they're reading word for word and they it's almost like
they don't even know how to read, which is really bad.
That's really when you don't know how to read and
you're reading the copy, that's like, that's not good. I'm
not naming names. I'm not naming names. I'm just saying
I'm just saying. This is a lot JJ from Renton,
he writes, and he says, Ben, you were supposed to
(19:45):
open up your first segment with the Sounders beating Miami
and Messiah.
Speaker 2 (19:51):

lose your marble. They don't need it, they don't. That's
an addics, but that's an added bonus. The rundown is
not is not needy. And know these other dopes that
(20:17):

talk about. They don't do that, do they know? They'll say, well,
I'm on right now, here's a link, listen to me.
And if I don't send you what the one of
the things, I don't even put the topics in there
all the time, like what I'm actually gonna talk about.
Sometimes I'll throw a curveball at you. But these guys
get so offended, they're so upset. Oh, you're going to
tell me exactly what you're gonna do. No, I don't
(20:37):
do not have to tell you exactly suck at all.
But anyway, we will take your ravishing comments. And uh,
mister Irrigation is trying to get me to talk about racing,
which is is there was college football this week and
he's but he's also mentioning like I think I'm good.
I think uh, I think I'm okay. I don't think
(20:59):
we need to go down that road. Not that I
don't appreciate you, Misterrigation. I'm just saying, let's go to
the phones. Let's say hello, dude, trucker Shane, who's in
the leadoff chair. Do not let me down, truck or Shane.
You're in South Dakota, is that actor? Yeah, ma'am, you
sound very you sound very excited about that.

bad land. There's nothing out here.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
So yeah, so I've wanted to go to the bad lands.
I've never been there.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
I've seen photos. It looks pretty cool. But you're saying
it's not worth the trip. Is that what you're saying.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
Well, I had nights, I don't have a fog. It's
just like, I'm bored to death, man, I just wanted
to be over I don't want to be out here.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
You two kids can be a truck driver. I just
wanted to be over with. I just want to get
off the road. I want to go the nightmare. Yeah,

Of me, So that's exciting. So it's not safe to drive?
Have you pulled over for the night? Are you just
going to stop on the side of now?
Speaker 5 (22:01):
I'm actually head of the Sturgis right now. I got
to be there in the morning, so I got a

Oh really that's a good job, firefighter.
Speaker 5 (22:58):

How does one get into that? By mistake?
Speaker 6 (23:02):
Do?
Speaker 1 (23:02):
I mean? You guys make a lot of money, right?
Your truck drivers are on the road all the time.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
Though, right, I can't make one. I can't make one
fifty years. It's not worth it. I got into it.
I call it a wrong number by accident, and they said, oh,
don't hang up. You want to become a truck driver?
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Really you dialed? You had a job you liked, being
a firefighter.
Speaker 5 (23:23):
I was a firefighter, called the wrong number to a
truck driving store one and he said, you know, if
you do this, youcret have this job in six months.
That was eighteen years ago, and I'm still out of
here driving in stupid trucks.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
All right, Well, can't ask you a question.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Lorena wants to ask you a question.

Do you have one of those cool trucks that has
like the bed in the back and like a full kitchen.
Speaker 6 (23:45):
Yes, I have all that.
Speaker 7 (23:46):
That was so sick. If I was ever a truck driver,
that's what I would need any time, and everything in
my feet.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
He does not seem happy, though, LORRAINO.

You believe in you and you'll never drive it. You'll

Speaker 5 (24:50):
Can I tell you what happened at the place I
went to?
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Yeah? Sure, why not? I don't care.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
This other truck came into this place and told me
to go Parker's truck to wait for the game, to
me to get unloaded. And he got a little frisky
while he was sitting there, and he thought he would
relieve himself. Uh, he wanted to take care of He
was excited.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
He was he was looking to uh some gratification there,
I got you, all right.
Speaker 5 (25:18):
So he did not realize that there were cameras on
the property watching the parking lot. And the camera is
also there's a big screen inside the office, so they
could see out into the parking lot. And one camera
was directly on his truck. And he did not close
his curtains or anything.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Oh man, he gave him a show.
Speaker 5 (25:37):
He was laying in his truck taking care of business,
and everyone saw him.
Speaker 6 (25:42):
Doing this and losing his jobs.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Wow, that is getting fired over. Yeah, well yeah, I would.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
I mean, you can't be doing that.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
At least at least you got to close the curtains
at least there you know, you tail of a truck driver, right.
Oh my gosh, I thought that's stop at those adult
entertainment stores, right, like those four they don't have that.
No Ah, Well, that's a great story, Shane. I'm sorry
(26:14):
that people had to witness that at the end of
a truck driving career, right there are would be safe
out there in the fog shade.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Thanks for listening, man, Shane. I liked him.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
He's a character, that guy. I like, Shane having a
bad day. You're having a bad day. This guy's stuck
in South Dakota driving and fall. You can't see he's
driving this basically this massive dinosaur type thing, like the
size of a blue whale.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
And that's it.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Wow, not vision in my head right now, though. It
was crazy.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
That's pretty crazy.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
That the blinds pretty pretty crazy.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Let's see here.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Robbie, the Mariner fan, says, I love that caller the
truck driver's self loathing and hatred of his home state.
It reminds me of me, says Robbie. Then we don't
know that was his home state. We just know he
was driving through South Dakota. So it's possible he's from
another state and Shane's just happened to be driving through
South Dakota when the show came on the air. That
(27:15):
is conceivable that they're not all there, but a lot
of interesting Shane. I hope you know a lot of
people giving us feedback here with gifts and memes and
things like that to celebrate the fact that you are
not very happy at your job, a job that you
got by calling the wrong number. Trucker Joe writes in
from the Highways and Highways in North America.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
He knows a thing or two about trucking, he says.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Ben, it is a miserable and thankless job with no
respect from people around you.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
I don't know a thing or two about that.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
But some make good money, others don't. For me, it's
a love hate relationship. I hate people, but I love
the money, and.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
That's what keeps with Keneley.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Yeah, we've heard naw Shane says he makes about a
buck fifty a year, which is good money. But there's
some guys that are making four hundred thousand dollars a year.
Of course, for that is wild. Yeah, as a truck driver.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
But okay, I quit.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
I quit.
Speaker 6 (28:11):
Well.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
The only problem is you have guys. You have to
be on the road all the time, and you will
not have any kind of normal life. You will not
You will get divorced if you're married, Oh no, your
kids will hate you. Oh no. It will be flat.
You sit all day long how horrible is but you'll
have a lot of money. See, I would be a
truck driver. I remember the episode of The Simpsons when
(28:31):
they had this self driving car.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Remember I don't know if you know that.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
That's an old school episode though, and the truck driver
choked on a stake in a cartoon steakhouse in Texas,
and then Homer had to complete if I remember it correctly,
Homer had to complete the trip. But he figured out
the trucks drive themselves and you just have to sit
there pretend like you're driving. That cool. Of course, the
(28:55):
scary thing is they actually start. They're having trucks. Yeah,
I mean that was a long, long, long time ago
truck and Joe also says it is a nasty world
you see at truck stops. I don't have company facing
cameras in my truck, but if I did, I would
give them a show. So wouldn't they look away. I've
(29:16):
only been at I've only been to one truck stop,
and I learned a lot. I got an education from
moving man Matt out of Boston. He gave me an education.
I did not know the ins and outs of the
truck stop. I had no idea like, what goes on there?
I mean been by truck stops. I'd never been inside
a truck stop. And so he told me about the
(29:37):
vermin they have the lot lizards. I didn't know anything
about that. I had no idea. I was like that,
you know, big burly guys. I had no idea what
a lot lizard was. I was totally naive to that.
I don't want to go too deep in there because
it's getting sticky. Well in the truck there at Shane
witness there that was the testicles.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
My right hand was getting a workout.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Reek sent it wild night. You had been checks time. Well,

That was a great catch. That was a solid catch.
Speaker 6 (31:39):
Yes, yeah, yeah, that that that that was an instant.
That was an instant classic of a catch. But it
could battle.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
I could do that too, Andre though if I had
I could make a one handed ketch if I had to.
You know, I'm just saying I thought that was super slick.
Speaker 7 (31:51):
Do you see how he liked super bent his back
like this, He was fully extended, almost like a ballerina
playing for the cameras.
Speaker 6 (31:57):
It did, it did. It was some thing beautiful like
you would see it a symphony. And then how we
learned to make sure that it was a catch. They
had to go back to the to the replay to
review it, but he most certainly kind of hold it in.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Ten minutes later they figured out it was a Catchdow,
it's wait ten minutes.
Speaker 6 (32:12):
They got it straightened out. So now to the kennel.

we also modify the schedule, you know, so that just
to make time, James, for our contributions, our contributions to
the militia. You know. But it's this is uh you
know what I mean kind of where we're going into
some new territory. Even though we got a little bit
more summer, were going into the fall season. Uh so,
so it's going to be it's going to be a
different a different approach.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Well, and Andre, if you ever want to work at
the truck stop, Shane just gave a ringing endorsement if
you want to change careers and work at the truck stop.

get to where I need to be. But back to
Sport's Ben, good win for Miami. Okay, uh, Notre Dame
