spread against the Jets, but they did win and does
(00:56):
this win help elevate Patriots quarterback Drake May in the
MVP race. He was being serenaded with MVP rhythmic chanting
for New England. Also, the embattled Jets coach Aaron Glenn
said quarterback Justin Field did some really good things. He
passed for barely one hundred yards. How do you process
(01:18):
that nonsense from Aaron Glenn. We'll talk about that as well.
All of it's coming your way right now here.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
It is our number one.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Show up and collect a victory.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Well kind of that's what happened.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Welcome in the beginning of another night of the Ben
Mahlor Show.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
We are in the air a.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Rewhere as we chisel away at and we say the
buck stops here, literally, one dollar stops right here. It
might paycheck every night coast to coast, border to border
and beyond on the vast and unrelentingly powerful microphones of FSR,
(02:16):
am monating live from the drop as we drop back
to punt, something the Jets do a lot of from
the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios, as approved by
our friend Uncle Moe, formerly of Brooklyn, but now Uncle
MOI proud resident of the Garden State there in New Jersey.
(02:40):
But Dar lead, this hour is from that Thursday night
came this portion of the show made possible in part
by our friends at ty Iraq for over forty years,
Ty IRAQ has been helping customers like alf and Fergdog
find the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
ship fast and freed back by free road hazard protection
(03:00):
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Tire act dot Com.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
The way the tire buying sure be so our lead
this hour from Foxborough as that was the stage. The
curtain went up on week eleven. We're into week eleven now.
The NFL season was billed as an AFC East mismatch.
If you go by the gambling line, you had Justin Fields,
(03:28):
who's pretending to be an NFL quarterback flying the Jets
with but the Jets it's not like a jumbo jet.
It's more like a prop plane where you have to
pedal for the thing to take off and a hop
skipping a jump to the Commonwealth there for a date
with Drake May and the Patriots. You had the Venerable
Al Michaels, good Old Al and Herbie on the call
(03:50):
on the Amazon. I'm not sure if you were watching
this game or not. It did not seem like a
game you had to watch. It was a mismatch coming
in and we we watched had no choice rookie Trayvon Henderson,
he's a Buckeye from Ohio States with three touchdowns so
like he was playing Northwestern again, two on the ground,
(04:11):
one via catch, and Drake May and the Patriots get
to win. The eight in a row is eight enough,
twenty seven to fourteen over the lowly pathetic Jets in
the Thursday night game. So the Pats at nine and two,
they matched their longest winning streaks. And some guy named
Brady in his final season before he defected to Tampa,
(04:34):
I was in twenty nineteen, and they've now, as we said,
they've won their first eight.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
That year they won their first day Patriots three to
zero in the division. There's all kinds of numbers. I
don't even really care about any of that stuff.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
But the good jumping off point is just the wide
angle lens in honor of the Jets from thirty thousand
feet up in the airs. Normally we start with the losers.
The Jets are so bad. How bad are they that Jet?
They're so bad that.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
We're not going to start with them. That's so bad
they are. We'll start with New England. The debts aren't
even really compelling at this point, so.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Let us discuss the question, give me your impressions of
the Mike Vrabel twenty twenty five Patriots as they played
the Island game.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Here where now eleven weeks into the NFL season.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
So my thoughts on this, I've got sorcerer's workshop, giant
inflatable pizza slice, and aromatherapy, and we will combine all
of these things together, and we are going to start
from scratch, is what we're going to do.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
So a this one is simple. My impressions of the Patriots.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
I've seen him play a few times, but just focused
in on this game, not flipping to any other game
because there's nothing else on the NBA is unwatchable. So
a work in progress is the way I will describe it.
And when I mean work, like the assembly line, there
might be some bolts there, but you don't really know yet.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
You don't know yet. And the Patriots compared to years past,
the Gerard Mayo year, not years.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
He was on there for one year, the Patriots obviously
have taken a quantum leap year and Mike Rabol going
into the Sorcerer's Workshop and essentially recreating it's kind of
like Tom Brady's dog, you know, Tom Brady had his
dog copied. Well, that's what Rabel's doing. He's like, all right,
let's go in there, and I want to recreate the
(06:29):
secret recipe we had in Tennessee. Not that they won,
not that they won, they didn't win in Nashville, but
they had competitive teams a year after year for the
most part, solid well coached football. And all the hokey
lines control the controller bowls and all that. Well, Mike
Rabel has cloned his old Titan teams. It would appear
(06:52):
a disciplined, somewhat physical, coachable, buttoned up.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
They only had two penalty in this game.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
They had no turnovers, and that's the Mike Rabels starter
pack right there.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
No dumb penalties. The eight straight.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Wins is kind of cool, but let's not get too
carried away here. I'm not gonna be Benny Bright's out
in this. He played the Jets a full blown three
ring flying clown plane the Jets, and the Jets unloaded
the few name brand defensive players they had and they
rolled out a defense that had I think there were
some uber drivers in the secondary. There were some cfl
(07:34):
Rejets that were out there little flotsam, and then Jets
them flats them on the right, jetsam on the left,
and they had people that were likely one of you, like,
where's the locker room when they arrived at the stadium,
where do I go?
Speaker 2 (07:47):
I don't know where that is?
Speaker 1 (07:48):
And they were still the Jets mathematically in the game
in the fourth quarter of New England did not even
cover the line. The line was thirteen and a half.
I know some places it was twelve and a half
or thirteen. If it was thirteen, it was a push
and we got it at thirteen and a half on
benny versus the penny.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
So we lost that but.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
At home in an Island game short week all that
against the team that, Let's be honest, you the way
the Jets have gone, the joke that Aaron Glenn as
a coach, they probably should have been euthanized back in
week four the Jets, but they're still playing. The Jets
roster looks like they have decided to collect and a
(08:31):
group of spare parts from a garage sale and some
free stuff on offer up and Craigslist.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
And there they are now.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Meanwhile, we also heard that Mike Rabel was handing out
blue collar shirts to players before the.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Game, if you saw.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
That or not, it was a cute little adorable thing,
very pinterest coachable, subliminal message.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
We're hard working all that stuff, of course, just the
whole bs stuff. Like the reality is, these guys wouldn't
last five minutes if they were with the factory boys
listening in El Paso or the heavy machinery guys there
in Ohio would kick them into Lake Eerie right away.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
They tap out.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
And it's always amusing to me when it's more of
an NFL thing. We see it in basketball somewhat too.
We don't see it in baseball, but when he hear's, oh,
we're going to be a blue collar team and all
that stuff, and I'm like, okay, that's that's cute, But like, no,
the average Patriots player is making three point two million.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Dollars this year.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
The actual blue collar guys that Mike Rabel was trying
to invoke twenty five dollars and ninety cents an hour.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
They get twenty five dollars and ninety cents an hour.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
The annual salary for most who work in the factory
is about fifty four thousand dollars a year, so very
blue collar if you're making three point two million versus
fifty three, eight hundred and seventy two dollars. But yes,
very very out there. Nothing screams working class like a
twenty five year old defensive back who was also making
(10:07):
a million dollars in college and missus a tackle while
getting paid two point eight million dollars. Nevertheless, hey, listen,
Mike Rabel does have structure, the cupcakes and doughnuts schedules
working well. They're steamrolling through this thing as they should.
There's no real haunted houses out there for the Patriots.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Down the line.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
They're doing what they're supposed to be doing, and the
real acid test will be down the line in the playoffs.
And meanwhile, page two, you've got Drake May who was
being serenaded with envy pete MV pete rhythmic chanting of
MVP New England obviously winning this game.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Here's Mike Vrabel. Mike Rabel, the coach.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Who was asked about the expectations and the rhythmic chanting.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Take a listen, and we have high expectations for Drake
has high expectations himself. He'll continue to improve and know
that he'll stay humble through this all and you know again.
And then as far as the performance tonight, I thought
it was you know again, in first view, you know,
pretty good. He was good enough to win and he
took care of the football.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Okay, that's a ringing endorsement.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Okay, So question does this win help elevate Drake may
the campaign of Drake May for the MVP Award?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Does it help him in the MVP race?
Speaker 1 (11:32):
So I watched the entire game and I wrote on
my scorecard, No, I don't believe that would be acting.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
We know this, you're a fanboy.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Okay, congratulations, but this was this is not a bad performance.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
It was more about I consider it a lateral move.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
That's what I thought it was. It was like treading
water and the kiddie pool. You're lying on a giant
inflatable pizza slice and you're sipping a cocktail with one
of those umbrellas in it, and that's kind of what
this was a little chillier than that, but that's where
we are with Drake may On. This game played one
of the NFL's you know not I don't say all
time wars, but they traded their top players. That's not
(12:10):
not a good defense. With the names they have out there,
the Jets right now.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
And he didn't really go turbotastic. It was a mixed bag.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
He completed a lot of passes averaged eight yards, had
a bunch of explosive plays, but only one touchdown pass
And and if you want MVP votes, these are the
kind of games where your stat bandito and you fatten
up your stat sheet and you have a bunch of
fireworks and everything's great. And this was more like it
(12:37):
wasn't a dud, but it was more like a couple
of sparklers, And sparklers are cool, dude, you love sparkles.
Who doesn't like sparks, safe and sane, safe and sane,
safe and sane. But it wasn't like fireworks. Wasn't like
illegal fireworks you got from Mexico or something like that
and that and uh, anyway, so can we address also
the fire breathing dragon of the room. If my malor
math is correct, Drake May somehow has play now a
(13:00):
year plus basically a year and a half over year
and a half now, and he still hasn't thrown for
three hundred yards.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
In an NFL game.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
We're talking about the modern NFL here, where teams throw
the ball if they're up.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
If they're down, if they're tied, if they're hungry, if
they're sleepy, whatever, they just they throw the ball. The
league practically forces you to get three hundred yards by accident,
and Drake May has two hundred and eighty yard performances
piling up like empty boxes from Amazon and not.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Crossed over the rubicon of that three hundred. Hasn't gotten it.
It's one of those bizarro quirky things.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
That's out there.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
But May failing to lead the Patriots again to cover
against the Jets. That's not great. It's not great. And
a nice little quarterback developing. We'll see where.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
This ends up when the real games begin. Down the line.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Patriot's playing a lot, a lot of weak opponents here,
and Drake May has an he's not yet found that higher,
higher gears.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
It's like he's in second gear.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
He's humming along and he's going fifty five or sixty,
and he's in the right lane. He's got the hazards flashing,
and you think, MVP, right, that's autobonn territory. That's one
hundred and ten miles an hour passing Ferraris and porsches
and things like that.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
So again this game, it keeps him where he already was.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
It's not like he goes any lower and continues to
be a wide open race.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
As it's too early.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Not all precincts are reporting in and Drake May still
promising in town.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
Oh, you're such a hater, Malor. That's what you're doing
the overnights. You're supposed to get the knee pads out
for Drake May. Okay, stop stop stop, stop, stops up.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
All right.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Last word for the j e Ts suck, suck, suck.
Where quarterback Justin Fields yet again was held in check. Yeah, well,
he did go over one hundred yards passing for him.
That's a big accomplishment. We'll give him a puffy sticker congratulations.
Normally he's been around fifty yards passing, so he doubled that.
(15:08):
And the Jets did come out and matriculate the ball
down the field. They had a nice opening drive, most
of it on the ground, and the rest of the game. Eh,
let's see here, Dan, see Justin Fields, he fumbled deep
in his own territory in a one score game in.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
The fourth quarter.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Here's Justin we have just Here's Justin Field's commenting on
his performance for the jetstick a list.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Not good enough.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
You know, we lost the game, so it wasn't good enough.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Every time we lose. My performance didn't good enough. Okay,
thank you.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
How about the coach Aaron Glenn give the state of
the Jets address?
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Can you please help us out? Coach Aaron Glynn, let's
hear this again.
Speaker 6 (15:45):
We're all accountable for that, you know, as far as
coaches make sure we put our guys in the right position,
the receivers to make sure they catch the ball. And
then we can say justin make sure he getting the
ball to some other guys. But to me, that was
really it because there were some players out there to
be made. I thought he had some really good throws.
We just got to finish those things.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Okay, thought he had some really good throws.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Later on he said there are some really good things
in general for the quarterback. So the question quickly Jets
coach Aaron Lenn saying the quarterback Justin Fields did some
really good things.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
How do you process that? It processed that one.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
So my first thought on this is, I think this
is the highest level of football. This is not a
kindergarten parent teacher conference. We're not we're not doing that.
You don't need to coddle anyone. And Justin Fields was
able to wipe his own tushy congratulations, and he rode.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
The vomit comet and that's great and wonderful.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
And they had that scripted opening drive where they ran
the ball most of the time, and he ran a
couple of QB keepers and he had some success and
the only.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Attempted two passes.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Overall, Justin Fields is the same suck bad quarterback he
was with Chicago and with Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
The guys, the guy blows. That's just it.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
He averaged four point five yards per pass. He threw
a ball off alignman's helmet. If you saw that, there
was that intentional grounding thing where he I think killed
the worm was out on the field.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
He killed that.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
And then the.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Masterpiece of this that should be hung in an art museum.
Fumbling the snap in a one score game deep in
your own territory, which, oh, by the way, the Patriots
should have scored a touchdown. They would have covered the spread,
not that I'm bitter about that, but they did not.
They got the ball the eleven yard line of the Jets.
So really good stuff, terrific. Let's have a parade right
(17:44):
through the Canyon of Heroes. We're going to have a parade.
And so what is Aaron Glenn doing. Well, again, he's
gas lighting, is what he's doing here. Aaron Glenn treating
the seven Jets fans that are left like there are
a bunch of dingle berries who can't see what's happening
with their own eyes. If the Jets wanted a running back,
I'm sure they could have found one somewhere. They're not
(18:04):
that expensive. They're everywhere, they really are. It's like sand
on the beach that you don't really need to worry
about it. There's gonna be more sand. And if Aaron
Glenn truly believes that there were some really good things
out there with his quarterback, justin Fields, if Glenn's going
that direction, then someone needs to call for a fifty
(18:25):
one to fifty a seventy two hour cycle because that
is deluge. You know, that is delugional, is.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
What that is.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
And Fields like he was a CFL quarterback playing an
NFL game, which I think is insulting to the Winnipeg
Blue Bombers.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
So I guess he's actually not that one of.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Those minor league UFL Arena league whatever they're calling those
minor league outfits now. So yeah, I don't think he
could play for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. I don't or
the Montreal Alouettes or the Argonauts or the BC Lions.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
I don't think he could play for them.
Speaker 7 (19:00):
I know.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
And the Jet fans, while some of them are dumda dumb,
dumb dumb, they're not all rubs.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
They're not all rubes.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
And those that watched and so I would advise Aaron Glenn,
do not blow smoke up the backside of the Jet
fan and tell them it's a romatherapy because they know
it's not. And Justin Fields didn't do really good things.
He did Justin Field's things. And that's exactly the problem
(19:30):
with Justin Fields. Heaven knows he does Justin Fields things,
and that's exactly the problem. It's every time he's playing,
it's happy hour for the other team. It's happy hour
for the other team when he's out there playing quarterback.

Speaker 1 (23:01):

Speaker 2 (23:05):
The reaction.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Said, not a burness, as you mentioned, the the coop
and the rain Offen stand and applaud you. I believe
when they make they make plans, they don't include you,
and it is only to praise you.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Yes, we are not real friends. We're work friends, not
real friends. But that's usually how people are in radio
or really real friends. You just work friends. What else
do we have?
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Let's see page down Gunner in Minnesota says, So if
your l A rams were doing bad, would you be
talking bad about your team or would you let it
like well, Gunner, I don't know. Maybe go to the
ear doctor, Gunner. Okay, I trash all the teams. I
killed the dog. I'm still getting people upset. Are you
rip Clayton Gersha before the playoffs?
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (23:50):
My god?
Speaker 1 (23:51):
These cry baby Dodger loser fans, which is not most
of them, but you know, Dodgers are so good they
win every year. Now there's a percent of the fan
base that are complete scum losers and they can't handle
any criticism because.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
They were coddle their entire life.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
And so I ripped Kershaw, who cost the Dodgers at
least three World Series by his incompetence in the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
And I'm getting ripped for it.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
And you have the balls Gunner and Minnesota to say,
would you talk bad about your team?
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Come on, what's wrong with you? How do you Spock's
weed Wright?
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Since says Ben, you said al Michaels is venerable, that's
a great call. However, the Catholic Church uses venerable as
a title for a person who's reached the first stage
of canonization, could we be seeing Saint Al in the future. Well,
I'm gonna go on a limit, say, very unlikely. You're
going to see Saint Al for a number of reasons.
(24:45):
And unfortunately, I don't go by the Catholic Church's lexicon.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
I go by my own lexicon. But if you do
good for you knock yourself out.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Supermarket Steve says that this year has been kind of
weird for quarterbacks. Even Paddy Mahomes only has one game
over three hundred yards passing. Okay, so I guess.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
You're just kind of okay, everything's great, nothing to worry about.
That's usually a barometer.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
So super Mark Steve's using the well, it's just a
weird year situation.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Okay, there you go.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Nature Boy says high expectations for the Patriots as long
as they get to play teams like the Arnie Spanier
Rec League Tigers next.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Well, they are on the schedule. Yeah, I believe they
are on the schedule.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Mallard Palooza seat holder mallardprop guy rights and says Ben
we never tire. He says, we never ever tire of
hearing all of the customers stories associated with tire rack
dot Com and it's faithful customers even have some have
even bonded and become good friends to their experiences with
(25:54):
your fine sponsor. Absolute Absolutely yeah, who else page, We'll
skip over that one, and it was something else I
wanted to read here. I get a bunch of messages
from you knuckleheads that have come in. Ozzie Was says,
I followed your macho about divisional games with double digit spreads,
(26:14):
but I only got plus twelve at the start of
the week for the Jets, so I still lose.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
And thanks to the mention on.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Benny versus the penny, Yeah, well that's a hard You
were on the right side of the game. You can't
you lose that game if you had the Patriots, it
was the right side. They missed the field goal before halftime.
There were two things that killed you on the bet.
The missed field goal before halftime and then when Justin
Fields handed the game to the Patriots with that fumble
(26:44):
I believe with the eleven yard line of the Patriots
and they failed to get the ball into the end zone.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
So those two things are what killed you.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Ferkdog says Justice for the Big Dumper f the East
Coast bias he says. Robie the Mariner fan says, no justice,
no peace.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
There you go, Robbie, no justice, no piece.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Robbie's gonna lead a big protest there, He's gonna do it.
All right, Let's go to the phones and Enie Meanie,
Miney Moe. Let's say hello to Zach in Rhode Island.
Hello Zach in Rhode Island. Welcome Zach the Zach Attack.
Speaker 8 (27:20):
Then Ben Jammon, Yeah, I think it's the a two
out of three days.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Congratulations, you are becoming a regular.
Speaker 9 (27:28):
I know, I'm I'm a little worried about that.
Speaker 8 (27:32):
Sere. It goes until you guys stop letting me on
the show. Two. I was gonna just throw out.
Speaker 9 (27:38):
There, what is your favorite national anthem?
Speaker 8 (27:41):
Sung at?
Speaker 9 (27:42):
Saying at like a baseball game, hockey game, et cetera.
Speaker 8 (27:46):
That I was gonna tell you mine first.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Okay, that's that's very random that you would bring that up.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
But go ahead, what is your favorite national anthem?
Speaker 9 (27:55):
Because I go ahead, that's fortunated thing I thought about tonight.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
I haven't been able to listen to the show tonight,
so I can can talk about what you gets you're
talking about earlier.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
So my favorite was Steven Tyler.
Speaker 8 (28:05):
I'm not a big answer fan, but he's saying that
a national anthem at a Red Sox game, and it
was fucking pretty cool because he was like in the rock,
if your tad player bombs using there and the flag
was still bare.
Speaker 9 (28:21):
Then he threw it because we ain't gonna take it.
Speaker 8 (28:28):
That was And then if I was him, I would
have finished with guess no, no, maybe.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
You're very musical. You're very musical, jack, Yeah, yeah, you
ready to go?
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Uh yeah, Well, the greatest national anthem of all time,
it's a dated reference, but it's on YouTube is Carl Lewis.
You can't get that. Carl Lewis was a big track
and field guy. Uh you know, performed the national anthem
at a New Jersey Nets game and then nineties and
his voice just did not go well.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Either that or there was.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
You know, no, his voice cracked and squeaked and it
was it was very awkward. And then there was h
there was this woman who used to be famous. She's
not famous anymore because nobody's famous for.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
That long and uh Rosie o'donnald I think it was
her name.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
She gave the national anthem at a Podre game in
San Diego, and she grabbed her crotch after the national
Great classy, very classy move by Rosie. Yeah, yeh, she
just had a hat back where she.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Was.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
She was, you know, ten sheets to the wind. But yeah,
all right, well you checked the box. Ack, have a
great week in the great.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Wa wa wow? Why why? Why?
Speaker 7 (29:42):
What?
Speaker 9 (29:43):
No, I'm picking up what I'm gonna pick up the pitchecker.
I gotta go anyway.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Okay.
Speaker 8 (29:48):
I don't know why he's caring a hacket.
Speaker 9 (29:50):
It's kind of a weird time to collect kingling, but hey, okay,
there he goes go Zachy.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Interesting.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
It's hard to find hitchhikers these days, I think, right,
they're not.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
You know, you always wanted to pick up hitchhikers and
then people tell me it's dangerous, and I'm like, but
I'm doing a good deed, you know.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Sure, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
I wonder how long you'd have to Well, it depends,
of course, what you look like to get picked up
as a hitchhiker, right, I think you might get Yeah,
you probably get picked up.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
I don't think I would get picked up. I think
I would be standing there with.
Speaker 8 (30:31):
My thumb out, like, do you have a good hitchhiker's thumb, Ben,
because I have a great hitchhiker's thumb, So that's why
I'd get picked up, you.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Think, so, yeah, that's probably it's that's definitely the key
there that people look at the thumb and they're big
fans of the thumb, and then that's uh, that's usually
how how that works. Let's see, all right, let's go
back to the phones and we'll say hello, Well, let's
see we're off to a great start, and let's go
now to TikTok influencer Whoopee Pie Blair, who's in the
(30:59):
great state of Maine. Hello, Whoopee Pie Blair.
Speaker 8 (31:03):
Don't ever call me a TikTok influencer ever again, I
don't ever do that.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Are you threatening me?
Speaker 8 (31:12):
I'll threaten you again. I'll make you eat, I'll make
you look like a fool on TikTok.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Here we go, Here we go, Here we go. We're
getting Now, we're getting Spicy Blair a.
Speaker 8 (31:24):
Good influencer on TikTok. For sure, we'll talk sports. We'll
put that on an influencer.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Nobody wants that.
Speaker 5 (31:32):
Nobody wants that.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Nobody wants that. You know, nobody that doesn't get any algorithm.
Speaker 8 (31:39):
This is Ben Mallard. Don't you forget. This is Ben's great.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Guy, Blair. Blair went to the liquor store. Blair went
out to the liquor store.
Speaker 8 (31:50):
I mentioned you already and they don't even know who
you are.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
We we got a uh. That's because they're not real, Blair.
It's all fake.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
You don't realize that yet, but someday will come to
the age of realization that it's all fake.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
But that's fine.
Speaker 8 (32:05):
Yeah, it is fake. You're right, it's fake news. Everybody's
behind screen, and I say, when you're behind screen?
Speaker 1 (32:12):
What There's a lot of manipulation because the social media
companies have figured out that if they have a lot
of users, even if they're fake users.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
There's bot farms in Moldova that.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Create the illusion. It's called the Matrix Blair. There's there
are a lot of people obviously on social media. But
I'm doing my rant, Blair, don't interrupt my rank. It's
mostly a manipulation via algorithm and bot farms and all
that stuff. There's a lawsuit against Spotify right now which
is very interesting about how they've been manipulating.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
They claim.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
The claim is they've been manipulating their numbers. We'll see
if it proves out in quarter. Anyway, what's on your mind, Blair?
Speaker 8 (32:49):
Oh, I just wanted to tell you Ben that I
am practicing, getting more practicing. You know, I'm trying my hardest,
and I got my sweatshirt already made with my logo
of my podcast.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Okay, so just for this again, for the record, you
have that you do not actually have a podcast, but
you've made a logo hoodie of the podcast.
Speaker 8 (33:09):
Is that podcasts? Yeah, Blair, if you podcast on Spotify
or YouTube yet.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
I think the term wind for that would be putting
the card ahead of a horse. I think you've you've
done things a little backwards here.
Speaker 5 (33:21):
You know what, though, I'd be more likely to wear
Blair's podcast sweatshirt than listen to the podcast.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Find what what.
Speaker 8 (33:33):
Did you just do to me? I mean, my podcast
is gonna have a practice one coming out for the
practice version in January.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
I's to Blair.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
It takes half an hour to record a podcast, Blair,
you can do.
Speaker 8 (33:50):
A reason for me to do you know, I always
have to sit here and do is talk about for
half an hour. I can easily do that.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Yeah, you don't even have to do half an hour.
You can start out doing ten minutes. Just do ten minutes,
that's all.
Speaker 8 (34:04):
I broke a thirteen minute or whatever. Broken fifty is
easy for me.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
I broke. You've got quite quite the endurance there. Hey,
you're you're quite the endurance athlete.
Speaker 8 (34:17):
Thirty minutes. It is very easy for me just to
sit there and talk sports.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Why didn't just do it?
Speaker 8 (34:23):
Then do it?
Speaker 2 (34:24):
But you got to be See, the problem is you
have to be entertaining, Blair. You just can't be reading
like the Wikipedia pages or whatever. You got to be
somewhere then, yeah, can't be.
Speaker 8 (34:35):
Monitor gotcha, gotcha? Gotcha?
Speaker 2 (34:38):
Do you want to take a somebody?
Speaker 3 (34:40):
Blair?
Speaker 2 (34:40):
You want to take a call. Somebody wants to talk
to you?
Speaker 8 (34:42):
You want to yeah, Marcel, Yeah, So let's go.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
He's sleeping. He doesn't call into the last hour of sleeping. Yeah,
let's go down to it. Luke in Boston is up
with our friend Blair in Maine.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Hello, Luke, don't guys?
Speaker 9 (35:01):
Wow?
Speaker 8 (35:03):
Yeah, crazy this hour, isn't it?
Speaker 9 (35:07):
I mean Blair like Bakers one? Does that mean?
Speaker 8 (35:11):
Yeah? I mean they could have won by more. I
would have taken more on the score on the Jets,
crappy team as they are, they really showed up to play.
Speaker 9 (35:20):
When's a win always that came out with.
Speaker 8 (35:21):
No interget well, the Jets, you know they showed up
to play. I gotta say they were up seven? Nothing quick? Right?
Speaker 9 (35:28):
Doing?
Speaker 2 (35:29):
What are we doing?
Speaker 9 (35:30):
What are we doing the last five weeks?
Speaker 2 (35:33):
Yes, Luke? Did you call up Luke to talk sports
with Blair? Is that why you called up?
Speaker 9 (35:39):
I don't know. I was listening for the last kind
of half hour on my way home from work Flash
Bar and Uh, Blair was an interesting character. I started
off crazy. Uh and the kind of metal down after
you went on your rent?
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Are you blaming me for him?
Speaker 3 (35:57):
Like?
Speaker 2 (35:57):
I should have just let him go? And that was mine?
Speaker 9 (35:59):
Mister.
Speaker 8 (35:59):
I would have.
Speaker 9 (36:00):
I would have. I was entertained. I'm still entertained.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
But okay, I got you.
Speaker 8 (36:06):
I want to ask you. I want to ask you, Luke,
what did you think about the quarterback tonight?
Speaker 7 (36:11):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (36:11):
My god? But Blair?
Speaker 9 (36:13):
Come nobody.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Do you think we care? What lou what Louke with
a drink? He made the most tonight? Well are you
assuming he worked at the bar? Maybe he was just
drinking at the time. You're right. What were you doing
at the bar?
Speaker 7 (36:25):
Look?
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Were you partaking? Were you enjoying the festivities there? Or
were you working?
Speaker 9 (36:30):
I first worked, then I partook.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
Big big crab. Imagine you're drinking the profits. Did you
get you got the employee discount on the alcohol?
Speaker 2 (36:42):
I assume, yes, Well.
Speaker 9 (36:44):
What I had, which was a first, which will be

So I was at the local pub after my shift

But I go down, you know, a couple of streets over.
I usually I'm a Guinness guy. I have a nice
creamy pine but this time I forget what it was called.
It was a half Guinness, half cider. They leveled it out.
It was half and half. It was quite the tree.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
And you'll be back. You'll have more of those. That's
not the last one. That's not the last one you have?
Speaker 9 (37:25):
Whoa, No, not the first, not the last. But I
am part of the mug club there.
Speaker 2 (37:35):

the Room will be addressed on the Fifth Hour Podcast.
Today's episode also will be up a little bit later
and here in hour number one, give me your impressions
of the Mike Rabel twenty twenty five Patriots. They've now
won eight in a row. They did not cover the
spread against the Jets, but they did win and does
(00:56):
this win help elevate Patriots quarterback Drake May in the
MVP race. He was being serenaded with MVP rhythmic chanting
for New England. Also, the embattled Jets coach Aaron Glenn
said quarterback Justin Field did some really good things. He
passed for barely one hundred yards. How do you process
(01:18):
that nonsense from Aaron Glenn. We'll talk about that as well.
All of it's coming your way right now here.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
It is our number one.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Show up and collect a victory.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Well kind of that's what happened.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Welcome in the beginning of another night of the Ben
Mahlor Show.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
We are in the air a.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Rewhere as we chisel away at and we say the
buck stops here, literally, one dollar stops right here. It
might paycheck every night coast to coast, border to border
and beyond on the vast and unrelentingly powerful microphones of FSR,
(02:16):
am monating live from the drop as we drop back
to punt, something the Jets do a lot of from
the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios, as approved by
our friend Uncle Moe, formerly of Brooklyn, but now Uncle
MOI proud resident of the Garden State there in New Jersey.
(02:40):
But Dar lead, this hour is from that Thursday night
came this portion of the show made possible in part
by our friends at ty Iraq for over forty years,
Ty IRAQ has been helping customers like alf and Fergdog
find the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
ship fast and freed back by free road hazard protection
(03:00):
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Tire act dot Com.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
The way the tire buying sure be so our lead
this hour from Foxborough as that was the stage. The
curtain went up on week eleven. We're into week eleven now.
The NFL season was billed as an AFC East mismatch.
If you go by the gambling line, you had Justin Fields,
(03:28):
who's pretending to be an NFL quarterback flying the Jets
with but the Jets it's not like a jumbo jet.
It's more like a prop plane where you have to
pedal for the thing to take off and a hop
skipping a jump to the Commonwealth there for a date
with Drake May and the Patriots. You had the Venerable
Al Michaels, good Old Al and Herbie on the call
(03:50):
on the Amazon. I'm not sure if you were watching
this game or not. It did not seem like a
game you had to watch. It was a mismatch coming
in and we we watched had no choice rookie Trayvon Henderson,
he's a Buckeye from Ohio States with three touchdowns so
like he was playing Northwestern again, two on the ground,
(04:11):
one via catch, and Drake May and the Patriots get
to win. The eight in a row is eight enough,
twenty seven to fourteen over the lowly pathetic Jets in
the Thursday night game. So the Pats at nine and two,
they matched their longest winning streaks. And some guy named
Brady in his final season before he defected to Tampa,
(04:34):
I was in twenty nineteen, and they've now, as we said,
they've won their first eight.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
That year they won their first day Patriots three to
zero in the division. There's all kinds of numbers. I
don't even really care about any of that stuff.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
But the good jumping off point is just the wide
angle lens in honor of the Jets from thirty thousand
feet up in the airs. Normally we start with the losers.
The Jets are so bad. How bad are they that Jet?
They're so bad that.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
We're not going to start with them. That's so bad
they are. We'll start with New England. The debts aren't
even really compelling at this point, so.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Let us discuss the question, give me your impressions of
the Mike Vrabel twenty twenty five Patriots as they played
the Island game.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Here where now eleven weeks into the NFL season.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
So my thoughts on this, I've got sorcerer's workshop, giant
inflatable pizza slice, and aromatherapy, and we will combine all
of these things together, and we are going to start
from scratch, is what we're going to do.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
So a this one is simple. My impressions of the Patriots.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
I've seen him play a few times, but just focused
in on this game, not flipping to any other game
because there's nothing else on the NBA is unwatchable. So
a work in progress is the way I will describe it.
And when I mean work, like the assembly line, there
might be some bolts there, but you don't really know yet.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
You don't know yet. And the Patriots compared to years past,
the Gerard Mayo year, not years.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
He was on there for one year, the Patriots obviously
have taken a quantum leap year and Mike Rabol going
into the Sorcerer's Workshop and essentially recreating it's kind of
like Tom Brady's dog, you know, Tom Brady had his
dog copied. Well, that's what Rabel's doing. He's like, all right,
let's go in there, and I want to recreate the
(06:29):
secret recipe we had in Tennessee. Not that they won,
not that they won, they didn't win in Nashville, but
they had competitive teams a year after year for the
most part, solid well coached football. And all the hokey
lines control the controller bowls and all that. Well, Mike
Rabel has cloned his old Titan teams. It would appear
(06:52):
a disciplined, somewhat physical, coachable, buttoned up.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
They only had two penalty in this game.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
They had no turnovers, and that's the Mike Rabels starter
pack right there.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
No dumb penalties. The eight straight.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Wins is kind of cool, but let's not get too
carried away here. I'm not gonna be Benny Bright's out
in this. He played the Jets a full blown three
ring flying clown plane the Jets, and the Jets unloaded
the few name brand defensive players they had and they
rolled out a defense that had I think there were
some uber drivers in the secondary. There were some cfl
(07:34):
Rejets that were out there little flotsam, and then Jets
them flats them on the right, jetsam on the left,
and they had people that were likely one of you, like,
where's the locker room when they arrived at the stadium,
where do I go?
Speaker 2 (07:47):
I don't know where that is?
Speaker 1 (07:48):
And they were still the Jets mathematically in the game
in the fourth quarter of New England did not even
cover the line. The line was thirteen and a half.
I know some places it was twelve and a half
or thirteen. If it was thirteen, it was a push
and we got it at thirteen and a half on
benny versus the penny.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
So we lost that but.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
At home in an Island game short week all that
against the team that, Let's be honest, you the way
the Jets have gone, the joke that Aaron Glenn as
a coach, they probably should have been euthanized back in
week four the Jets, but they're still playing. The Jets
roster looks like they have decided to collect and a
(08:31):
group of spare parts from a garage sale and some
free stuff on offer up and Craigslist.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
And there they are now.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Meanwhile, we also heard that Mike Rabel was handing out
blue collar shirts to players before the.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Game, if you saw.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
That or not, it was a cute little adorable thing,
very pinterest coachable, subliminal message.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
We're hard working all that stuff, of course, just the
whole bs stuff. Like the reality is, these guys wouldn't
last five minutes if they were with the factory boys
listening in El Paso or the heavy machinery guys there
in Ohio would kick them into Lake Eerie right away.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
They tap out.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
And it's always amusing to me when it's more of
an NFL thing. We see it in basketball somewhat too.
We don't see it in baseball, but when he hear's, oh,
we're going to be a blue collar team and all
that stuff, and I'm like, okay, that's that's cute, But like, no,
the average Patriots player is making three point two million.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Dollars this year.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
The actual blue collar guys that Mike Rabel was trying
to invoke twenty five dollars and ninety cents an hour.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
They get twenty five dollars and ninety cents an hour.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
The annual salary for most who work in the factory
is about fifty four thousand dollars a year, so very
blue collar if you're making three point two million versus
fifty three, eight hundred and seventy two dollars. But yes,
very very out there. Nothing screams working class like a
twenty five year old defensive back who was also making
(10:07):
a million dollars in college and missus a tackle while
getting paid two point eight million dollars. Nevertheless, hey, listen,
Mike Rabel does have structure, the cupcakes and doughnuts schedules
working well. They're steamrolling through this thing as they should.
There's no real haunted houses out there for the Patriots.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Down the line.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
They're doing what they're supposed to be doing, and the
real acid test will be down the line in the playoffs.
And meanwhile, page two, you've got Drake May who was
being serenaded with envy pete MV pete rhythmic chanting of
MVP New England obviously winning this game.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Here's Mike Vrabel. Mike Rabel, the coach.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Who was asked about the expectations and the rhythmic chanting.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Take a listen, and we have high expectations for Drake
has high expectations himself. He'll continue to improve and know
that he'll stay humble through this all and you know again.
And then as far as the performance tonight, I thought
it was you know again, in first view, you know,
pretty good. He was good enough to win and he
took care of the football.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Okay, that's a ringing endorsement.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Okay, So question does this win help elevate Drake may
the campaign of Drake May for the MVP Award?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Does it help him in the MVP race?
Speaker 1 (11:32):
So I watched the entire game and I wrote on
my scorecard, No, I don't believe that would be acting.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
We know this, you're a fanboy.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Okay, congratulations, but this was this is not a bad performance.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
It was more about I consider it a lateral move.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
That's what I thought it was. It was like treading
water and the kiddie pool. You're lying on a giant
inflatable pizza slice and you're sipping a cocktail with one
of those umbrellas in it, and that's kind of what
this was a little chillier than that, but that's where
we are with Drake may On. This game played one
of the NFL's you know not I don't say all
time wars, but they traded their top players. That's not
(12:10):
not a good defense. With the names they have out there,
the Jets right now.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
And he didn't really go turbotastic. It was a mixed bag.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
He completed a lot of passes averaged eight yards, had
a bunch of explosive plays, but only one touchdown pass
And and if you want MVP votes, these are the
kind of games where your stat bandito and you fatten
up your stat sheet and you have a bunch of
fireworks and everything's great. And this was more like it
(12:37):
wasn't a dud, but it was more like a couple
of sparklers, And sparklers are cool, dude, you love sparkles.
Who doesn't like sparks, safe and sane, safe and sane,
safe and sane. But it wasn't like fireworks. Wasn't like
illegal fireworks you got from Mexico or something like that
and that and uh, anyway, so can we address also
the fire breathing dragon of the room. If my malor
math is correct, Drake May somehow has play now a
(13:00):
year plus basically a year and a half over year
and a half now, and he still hasn't thrown for
three hundred yards.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
In an NFL game.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
We're talking about the modern NFL here, where teams throw
the ball if they're up.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
If they're down, if they're tied, if they're hungry, if
they're sleepy, whatever, they just they throw the ball. The
league practically forces you to get three hundred yards by accident,
and Drake May has two hundred and eighty yard performances
piling up like empty boxes from Amazon and not.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Crossed over the rubicon of that three hundred. Hasn't gotten it.
It's one of those bizarro quirky things.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
That's out there.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
But May failing to lead the Patriots again to cover
against the Jets. That's not great. It's not great. And
a nice little quarterback developing. We'll see where.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
This ends up when the real games begin. Down the line.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Patriot's playing a lot, a lot of weak opponents here,
and Drake May has an he's not yet found that higher,
higher gears.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
It's like he's in second gear.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
He's humming along and he's going fifty five or sixty,
and he's in the right lane. He's got the hazards flashing,
and you think, MVP, right, that's autobonn territory. That's one
hundred and ten miles an hour passing Ferraris and porsches
and things like that.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
So again this game, it keeps him where he already was.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
It's not like he goes any lower and continues to
be a wide open race.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
As it's too early.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Not all precincts are reporting in and Drake May still
promising in town.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
Oh, you're such a hater, Malor. That's what you're doing
the overnights. You're supposed to get the knee pads out
for Drake May. Okay, stop stop stop, stop, stops up.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
All right.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Last word for the j e Ts suck, suck, suck.
Where quarterback Justin Fields yet again was held in check. Yeah, well,
he did go over one hundred yards passing for him.
That's a big accomplishment. We'll give him a puffy sticker congratulations.
Normally he's been around fifty yards passing, so he doubled that.
(15:08):
And the Jets did come out and matriculate the ball
down the field. They had a nice opening drive, most
of it on the ground, and the rest of the game. Eh,
let's see here, Dan, see Justin Fields, he fumbled deep
in his own territory in a one score game in.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
The fourth quarter.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Here's Justin we have just Here's Justin Field's commenting on
his performance for the jetstick a list.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Not good enough.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
You know, we lost the game, so it wasn't good enough.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Every time we lose. My performance didn't good enough. Okay,
thank you.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
How about the coach Aaron Glenn give the state of
the Jets address?
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Can you please help us out? Coach Aaron Glynn, let's
hear this again.
Speaker 6 (15:45):
We're all accountable for that, you know, as far as
coaches make sure we put our guys in the right position,
the receivers to make sure they catch the ball. And
then we can say justin make sure he getting the
ball to some other guys. But to me, that was
really it because there were some players out there to
be made. I thought he had some really good throws.
We just got to finish those things.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Okay, thought he had some really good throws.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Later on he said there are some really good things
in general for the quarterback. So the question quickly Jets
coach Aaron Lenn saying the quarterback Justin Fields did some
really good things.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
How do you process that? It processed that one.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
So my first thought on this is, I think this
is the highest level of football. This is not a
kindergarten parent teacher conference. We're not we're not doing that.
You don't need to coddle anyone. And Justin Fields was
able to wipe his own tushy congratulations, and he rode.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
The vomit comet and that's great and wonderful.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
And they had that scripted opening drive where they ran
the ball most of the time, and he ran a
couple of QB keepers and he had some success and
the only.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Attempted two passes.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Overall, Justin Fields is the same suck bad quarterback he
was with Chicago and with Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
The guys, the guy blows. That's just it.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
He averaged four point five yards per pass. He threw
a ball off alignman's helmet. If you saw that, there
was that intentional grounding thing where he I think killed
the worm was out on the field.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
He killed that.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
And then the.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Masterpiece of this that should be hung in an art museum.
Fumbling the snap in a one score game deep in
your own territory, which, oh, by the way, the Patriots
should have scored a touchdown. They would have covered the spread,
not that I'm bitter about that, but they did not.
They got the ball the eleven yard line of the Jets.
So really good stuff, terrific. Let's have a parade right
(17:44):
through the Canyon of Heroes. We're going to have a parade.
And so what is Aaron Glenn doing. Well, again, he's
gas lighting, is what he's doing here. Aaron Glenn treating
the seven Jets fans that are left like there are
a bunch of dingle berries who can't see what's happening
with their own eyes. If the Jets wanted a running back,
I'm sure they could have found one somewhere. They're not
(18:04):
that expensive. They're everywhere, they really are. It's like sand
on the beach that you don't really need to worry
about it. There's gonna be more sand. And if Aaron
Glenn truly believes that there were some really good things
out there with his quarterback, justin Fields, if Glenn's going
that direction, then someone needs to call for a fifty
(18:25):
one to fifty a seventy two hour cycle because that
is deluge. You know, that is delugional, is.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
What that is.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
And Fields like he was a CFL quarterback playing an
NFL game, which I think is insulting to the Winnipeg
Blue Bombers.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
So I guess he's actually not that one of.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Those minor league UFL Arena league whatever they're calling those
minor league outfits now. So yeah, I don't think he
could play for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. I don't or
the Montreal Alouettes or the Argonauts or the BC Lions.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
I don't think he could play for them.
Speaker 7 (19:00):
I know.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
And the Jet fans, while some of them are dumda dumb,
dumb dumb, they're not all rubs.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
They're not all rubes.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
And those that watched and so I would advise Aaron Glenn,
do not blow smoke up the backside of the Jet
fan and tell them it's a romatherapy because they know
it's not. And Justin Fields didn't do really good things.
He did Justin Field's things. And that's exactly the problem
(19:30):
with Justin Fields. Heaven knows he does Justin Fields things,
and that's exactly the problem. It's every time he's playing,
it's happy hour for the other team. It's happy hour
for the other team when he's out there playing quarterback.

I think we know the answer to the Great debate
that if you play in New York you have a advantage,
(21:55):
which we kind of knew.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
It's not a shocker that the Yankee bias is alive.

Thank god for the Internet.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
All right, we go back, back, back, back, back, back back.
A handy down coat from the goat. The handy down
coat from the Goat. We'll get to that coming up
in a moment.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
And let's see who do we have here the reaction.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
The reaction.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Said, not a burness, as you mentioned, the the coop
and the rain Offen stand and applaud you. I believe
when they make they make plans, they don't include you,
and it is only to praise you.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Yes, we are not real friends. We're work friends, not
real friends. But that's usually how people are in radio
or really real friends. You just work friends. What else
do we have?
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Let's see page down Gunner in Minnesota says, So if
your l A rams were doing bad, would you be
talking bad about your team or would you let it
like well, Gunner, I don't know. Maybe go to the
ear doctor, Gunner. Okay, I trash all the teams. I
killed the dog. I'm still getting people upset. Are you
rip Clayton Gersha before the playoffs?
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (23:50):
My god?
Speaker 1 (23:51):
These cry baby Dodger loser fans, which is not most
of them, but you know, Dodgers are so good they
win every year. Now there's a percent of the fan
base that are complete scum losers and they can't handle
any criticism because.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
They were coddle their entire life.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
And so I ripped Kershaw, who cost the Dodgers at
least three World Series by his incompetence in the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
And I'm getting ripped for it.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
And you have the balls Gunner and Minnesota to say,
would you talk bad about your team?
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Come on, what's wrong with you? How do you Spock's
weed Wright?
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Since says Ben, you said al Michaels is venerable, that's
a great call. However, the Catholic Church uses venerable as
a title for a person who's reached the first stage
of canonization, could we be seeing Saint Al in the future. Well,
I'm gonna go on a limit, say, very unlikely. You're
going to see Saint Al for a number of reasons.
(24:45):
And unfortunately, I don't go by the Catholic Church's lexicon.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
I go by my own lexicon. But if you do
good for you knock yourself out.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Supermarket Steve says that this year has been kind of
weird for quarterbacks. Even Paddy Mahomes only has one game
over three hundred yards passing. Okay, so I guess.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
You're just kind of okay, everything's great, nothing to worry about.
That's usually a barometer.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
So super Mark Steve's using the well, it's just a
weird year situation.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Okay, there you go.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Nature Boy says high expectations for the Patriots as long
as they get to play teams like the Arnie Spanier
Rec League Tigers next.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Well, they are on the schedule. Yeah, I believe they
are on the schedule.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Mallard Palooza seat holder mallardprop guy rights and says Ben
we never tire. He says, we never ever tire of
hearing all of the customers stories associated with tire rack
dot Com and it's faithful customers even have some have
even bonded and become good friends to their experiences with
(25:54):
your fine sponsor. Absolute Absolutely yeah, who else page, We'll
skip over that one, and it was something else I
wanted to read here. I get a bunch of messages
from you knuckleheads that have come in. Ozzie Was says,
I followed your macho about divisional games with double digit spreads,
(26:14):
but I only got plus twelve at the start of
the week for the Jets, so I still lose.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
And thanks to the mention on.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Benny versus the penny, Yeah, well that's a hard You
were on the right side of the game. You can't
you lose that game if you had the Patriots, it
was the right side. They missed the field goal before halftime.
There were two things that killed you on the bet.
The missed field goal before halftime and then when Justin
Fields handed the game to the Patriots with that fumble
(26:44):
I believe with the eleven yard line of the Patriots
and they failed to get the ball into the end zone.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
So those two things are what killed you.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Ferkdog says Justice for the Big Dumper f the East
Coast bias he says. Robie the Mariner fan says, no justice,
no peace.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
There you go, Robbie, no justice, no piece.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Robbie's gonna lead a big protest there, He's gonna do it.
All right, Let's go to the phones and Enie Meanie,
Miney Moe. Let's say hello to Zach in Rhode Island.
Hello Zach in Rhode Island. Welcome Zach the Zach Attack.
Speaker 8 (27:20):
Then Ben Jammon, Yeah, I think it's the a two
out of three days.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Congratulations, you are becoming a regular.
Speaker 9 (27:28):
I know, I'm I'm a little worried about that.
Speaker 8 (27:32):
Sere. It goes until you guys stop letting me on
the show. Two. I was gonna just throw out.
Speaker 9 (27:38):
There, what is your favorite national anthem?
Speaker 8 (27:41):
Sung at?
Speaker 9 (27:42):
Saying at like a baseball game, hockey game, et cetera.
Speaker 8 (27:46):
That I was gonna tell you mine first.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Okay, that's that's very random that you would bring that up.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
But go ahead, what is your favorite national anthem?
Speaker 9 (27:55):
Because I go ahead, that's fortunated thing I thought about tonight.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
I haven't been able to listen to the show tonight,
so I can can talk about what you gets you're
talking about earlier.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
So my favorite was Steven Tyler.
Speaker 8 (28:05):
I'm not a big answer fan, but he's saying that
a national anthem at a Red Sox game, and it
was fucking pretty cool because he was like in the rock,
if your tad player bombs using there and the flag
was still bare.
Speaker 9 (28:21):
Then he threw it because we ain't gonna take it.
Speaker 8 (28:28):
That was And then if I was him, I would
have finished with guess no, no, maybe.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
You're very musical. You're very musical, jack, Yeah, yeah, you
ready to go?
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Uh yeah, Well, the greatest national anthem of all time,
it's a dated reference, but it's on YouTube is Carl Lewis.
You can't get that. Carl Lewis was a big track
and field guy. Uh you know, performed the national anthem
at a New Jersey Nets game and then nineties and
his voice just did not go well.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Either that or there was.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
You know, no, his voice cracked and squeaked and it
was it was very awkward. And then there was h
there was this woman who used to be famous. She's
not famous anymore because nobody's famous for.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
That long and uh Rosie o'donnald I think it was
her name.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
She gave the national anthem at a Podre game in
San Diego, and she grabbed her crotch after the national
Great classy, very classy move by Rosie. Yeah, yeh, she
just had a hat back where she.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Was.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
She was, you know, ten sheets to the wind. But yeah,
all right, well you checked the box. Ack, have a
great week in the great.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Wa wa wow? Why why? Why?
Speaker 7 (29:42):
What?
Speaker 9 (29:43):
No, I'm picking up what I'm gonna pick up the pitchecker.
I gotta go anyway.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Okay.
Speaker 8 (29:48):
I don't know why he's caring a hacket.
Speaker 9 (29:50):
It's kind of a weird time to collect kingling, but hey, okay,
there he goes go Zachy.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Interesting.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
It's hard to find hitchhikers these days, I think, right,
they're not.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
You know, you always wanted to pick up hitchhikers and
then people tell me it's dangerous, and I'm like, but
I'm doing a good deed, you know.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Sure, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
I wonder how long you'd have to Well, it depends,
of course, what you look like to get picked up
as a hitchhiker, right, I think you might get Yeah,
you probably get picked up.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
I don't think I would get picked up. I think
I would be standing there with.
Speaker 8 (30:31):
My thumb out, like, do you have a good hitchhiker's thumb, Ben,
because I have a great hitchhiker's thumb, So that's why
I'd get picked up, you.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Think, so, yeah, that's probably it's that's definitely the key
there that people look at the thumb and they're big
fans of the thumb, and then that's uh, that's usually
how how that works. Let's see, all right, let's go
back to the phones and we'll say hello, Well, let's
see we're off to a great start, and let's go
now to TikTok influencer Whoopee Pie Blair, who's in the
(30:59):
great state of Maine. Hello, Whoopee Pie Blair.
Speaker 8 (31:03):
Don't ever call me a TikTok influencer ever again, I
don't ever do that.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Are you threatening me?
Speaker 8 (31:12):
I'll threaten you again. I'll make you eat, I'll make
you look like a fool on TikTok.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Here we go, Here we go, Here we go. We're
getting Now, we're getting Spicy Blair a.
Speaker 8 (31:24):
Good influencer on TikTok. For sure, we'll talk sports. We'll
put that on an influencer.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Nobody wants that.
Speaker 5 (31:32):
Nobody wants that.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Nobody wants that. You know, nobody that doesn't get any algorithm.
Speaker 8 (31:39):
This is Ben Mallard. Don't you forget. This is Ben's great.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Guy, Blair. Blair went to the liquor store. Blair went
out to the liquor store.
Speaker 8 (31:50):
I mentioned you already and they don't even know who
you are.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
We we got a uh. That's because they're not real, Blair.
It's all fake.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
You don't realize that yet, but someday will come to
the age of realization that it's all fake.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
But that's fine.
Speaker 8 (32:05):
Yeah, it is fake. You're right, it's fake news. Everybody's
behind screen, and I say, when you're behind screen?
Speaker 1 (32:12):
What There's a lot of manipulation because the social media
companies have figured out that if they have a lot
of users, even if they're fake users.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
There's bot farms in Moldova that.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Create the illusion. It's called the Matrix Blair. There's there
are a lot of people obviously on social media. But
I'm doing my rant, Blair, don't interrupt my rank. It's
mostly a manipulation via algorithm and bot farms and all
that stuff. There's a lawsuit against Spotify right now which
is very interesting about how they've been manipulating.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
They claim.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
The claim is they've been manipulating their numbers. We'll see
if it proves out in quarter. Anyway, what's on your mind, Blair?
Speaker 8 (32:49):
Oh, I just wanted to tell you Ben that I
am practicing, getting more practicing. You know, I'm trying my hardest,
and I got my sweatshirt already made with my logo
of my podcast.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Okay, so just for this again, for the record, you
have that you do not actually have a podcast, but
you've made a logo hoodie of the podcast.
Speaker 8 (33:09):
Is that podcasts? Yeah, Blair, if you podcast on Spotify
or YouTube yet.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
I think the term wind for that would be putting
the card ahead of a horse. I think you've you've
done things a little backwards here.
Speaker 5 (33:21):
You know what, though, I'd be more likely to wear
Blair's podcast sweatshirt than listen to the podcast.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Find what what.
Speaker 8 (33:33):
Did you just do to me? I mean, my podcast
is gonna have a practice one coming out for the
practice version in January.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
I's to Blair.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
It takes half an hour to record a podcast, Blair,
you can do.
Speaker 8 (33:50):
A reason for me to do you know, I always
have to sit here and do is talk about for
half an hour. I can easily do that.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Yeah, you don't even have to do half an hour.
You can start out doing ten minutes. Just do ten minutes,
that's all.
Speaker 8 (34:04):
I broke a thirteen minute or whatever. Broken fifty is
easy for me.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
I broke. You've got quite quite the endurance there. Hey,
you're you're quite the endurance athlete.
Speaker 8 (34:17):
Thirty minutes. It is very easy for me just to
sit there and talk sports.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Why didn't just do it?
Speaker 8 (34:23):
Then do it?
Speaker 2 (34:24):
But you got to be See, the problem is you
have to be entertaining, Blair. You just can't be reading
like the Wikipedia pages or whatever. You got to be
somewhere then, yeah, can't be.
Speaker 8 (34:35):
Monitor gotcha, gotcha? Gotcha?
Speaker 2 (34:38):
Do you want to take a somebody?
Speaker 3 (34:40):

to you?
Speaker 8 (34:42):

of half hour on my way home from work Flash

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
