Speaker 2 (00:06):
Well, that was bad. Hopefully this is better.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
It's our number one of the Ben Mahler Show podcast.
And despite a sexy record in the NFL standings, the
Philadelphia Eagles they're having some issues internally. What's your read
on Aj Brown, the talented receiver turned whistleblower on the
Eagles offense? Also, what's the temperature in Eagles coach Nick

(00:31):
Sirianni's office.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Right about now?

Speaker 1 (00:34):
Sirianni screaming at a reporter in Philadelphia. Also thumbs up
or thumbs down on this internal angst against Aj Brown,
Jalen Hurtz, and Nick Sirianni, as they are all at loggerheads.
And how is it affecting the Eagles long term? We'll
talk about that as well. Settle in, it's a full

(00:55):
night on the Red Eye, but you can do it
during the day and here it is our number one. Well,
it has been said that all you have to do
is win and everything is going to be okay. Well,
it turns out in the modern world of pro sports

(01:15):
not always the case. Welcome in. Not be gaining of
another night of the Ben Malor Show.

Speaker 3 (01:24):
We are in the air av reware mixing and mingling
as we have accountability and integrity unless we don't coast
the coast, border, the border and beyond on the vast
and unmeasurably.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
Powerful microphones of fsre am monating live from the mole.
The audio game we love so much we play it
every night, the game Whack a Mole from the world
famous Fox Sports Radio studios. As Malard, prop Guy and

(02:25):
dot Com The Way Tire Buying showb and we are
back at it on this Thursday show, still late Wednesday
in the West, and our lead from the Gift that
keeps on Giving and the Boy you look for these
kind of storylines, You're like, man, this is great.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
I have a daily talk show every night.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
I have to come in new talk radio, and how
boring would it be if there was nothing interesting to
talk about. So we're going to start out in in Philly,
and here we go again. The Eagles continue to be
the most disfunctional seven and two team in modern organized football.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
Now you would think you would.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
Think the Eagles based on the air around the building,
you would think they are two and seven and that
the drama is just oozing out.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Of the team facility there. It's like a ruptured sewer line.
And man, is that great?

Speaker 4 (03:23):
Boy?

Speaker 2 (03:24):
I can't tell you how great that is.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
So if you've not heard the latest on this, if
you're not keeping up on it because you actually have
a life, perhaps not here.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
Disgruntled wide receiver A. J. Brown.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
He jumped on a Twitch stream this week. A lot
of our sports news this is something that didn't exist
years ago. We get a lot of our sports news
on Twitch, guys gaming. That's where we got the famous
sound from that World Series stiff for the Dodgers, who
mister Blake Snell there, Vassay's buddy who went out there
and wrote the vomit common.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
In the World Series. But it was on Twitch. He said,
I ain't playing this again. Mon brawl, just get my
life brawl.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
That was from Twitch. What happening at AJ Brown was
on there is playing Madden. You know, that's what all
the cool guys do. And then right after the Monday
night game, Monday night football game there the day after
and he casually, casually made a decree to those that
play fantasy football, which is probably you, and the decree

(04:23):
was if you got me on fantasy, he said, get
rid of me.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Now, he was asked about that.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
He was asked about that, and surprisingly he did not
back down. I believe that's the third AJ Brown cut.
But here's AJ Brown. He was asked whether or not
he's gonna apologize for the comments he made on Twitch,
and let's hear what he had to.

Speaker 5 (04:47):
Say, or you know that in that moment where I'm
just talking to my friend, having fun with my friend,
I'm not apologizing for it, like like I say, because
if you have eyes, you can see that, and so like,
it's not that I was throwing anybody on the bus.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
I'm literally trying to laughter.

Speaker 5 (05:03):
Oh, but I'm trying to make fun of the situation
and to try to get through it.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
So you know, it is what it is.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
Yes, it's such a tragedy of humanity and thoughts and
prayers to AJ Brown to smile while you don't get
targeted enough with the football. It's one of the great
American tragedies that we have today. Man, all right, but
wait there's more, as every great late night infomercial says,
wait there's more. So AJ then stands in front of

(05:34):
the locker and continues to wax poetic about the state
of the Eagles, even though there's seven and two, the
top record in the National Football Conference. He's standing in
front of his locker. They're telling reporters that the offense
is not they're not doing their job. Do your job,
They're not doing their job. And here's Aj Brown, but

(05:54):
it's cut one on this.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
Take a listen.

Speaker 5 (05:56):
We're really focusing on winning and doing our job, Like
we can't just keep slapping the band aid over the
defense doing their job and getting us out of trouble.
At what point we're gonna pick up box slack as
an offense that we're saying we're so great, you know?
And that's where I'm getting it. It's not about we're
not winning or I don't care about winning. All I
care about his steps. No it's been week out the week.

(06:19):
Sometimes we're not contributing, we're not doing our job on offense.
So you can't just keep slapping a band aid over
there and then you strict the win later late in
the year and we think you're gonna go to it
at the end of the year.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
It's not gonna all right.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
There you go, Hey, we've got three bleeps and that's good.
All right, So that's a good jumping off points. Just
the Eagles offense not doing their job, and of course
not about the stats, not about the stats. No, no, no, no, okay.
So we'll jump off on that point, and let us
discuss the question, what is your read on A. J.
Brown and turned I guess whistle blower would be the

(06:54):
way we'll describe this. A whistle blower on the Eagles offense,
the state of the Philadelphia Eagles the record would indicate
very good.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
AJ. Brown. The way he's sounding not so good.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
So my thoughts on this, I've got dashboard, hula girl,
smoke detector, and camp counselor and we will put all
of these things into a food processor and we're gonna
make some pure out of this. So a let me
begin by saying, God bless AJ Brown. He got paid

(07:26):
and he is providing content not for the Eagles, but
for gas bags from coast to coast, from seed to
Shining Sea. This guy refuses to play nice and I'm
here for it. I got buttered popcorn. He is filling
up the content machine on a weekly basis.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
You realize I went back. I looked through my notes.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
I've gotten at least one AJ Brown monologue in I
believe it's eight out of the eleven weeks of the
NFL season. That is unbelievable production by AJ Brown. I
guess outstanding. Typically headphones to AJ Brown here and so
in the cartoon bubble in my head, and you have
a different cartoon bubble in your head, because if you're

(08:05):
in my head, you're a stucker. But in the cartoon
bubble in my head, AJ Brown is driving around in
a very expensive automobile with Hannah. Now you know who
Hannah is. Hannah is the dashboard hula girl from Arco
and he's he's bringing that subty personality where she is.
He gets that venturous spirit and pouring gasoline on the
Eagles offense there because it's quality, top tier gas for

(08:29):
last and stir the pot. Stir the pot. It's not
like the locker room already smells like a chemical spill,
despite the record. Heck, they need green hazmat suits to
go in there, because I mean, there's a toxic plume
of green coming out.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
And shelter in place, order shelter in place.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
Do not breathe the fubes. Do not breathe the fubs. Now,
we love that. AJ admitted that he just he's just
reading off the tall points one of the sound bites
he gave you, as I said, all the right things
after after the game, and uh, and then it still
became a story, which means that he went to sportscliche

(09:11):
dot com, a website that I have been a contributed
to a few times over the years. In fact, my
name is in the mentions of people that have contributed
content to that website. I love the cliche, I live
for the cliche. I love the mockla cliche. So sports
dot com and he just copy and pasted some some
clips and we just got to execute, you know, move,

(09:32):
move on and all that stuff, and so that backfired.
So then he just went on Twitch and said what
he really felt. Now Page two and the whispers out
of Philly. There's another layer to this that the whispers
out of Philly say that that Bizarro deep shot on
fourth down and six. Remember Monday night, if you saw

(09:52):
the whole game, the Eagles had the ball, they had
a three point lead. There was about thirty seconds to
go in the game. It was fourth down and and
at Lambeau and it turns out they they passed and
it was not a play according to the whispers from
the Eagle locker room. It was not a play that
was called by coach Nick Sirianni or the offensive coordinator.

(10:15):
The boys decided to freelance it. They ignored the headset,
They annoyed the they were annoyed, but they ignored the
offensive coordinator, Kevin Pattullo, and the head coach there, and
so Jalen Hurts and AJ Brown, I guess they they
went rogue, as the report goes, and that the play
was incomplete, giving the Packers another shot. Now, now coach

(10:39):
Kevin Sirianni, Oh, Kevin sirio A, Nick Siria don't know
Kevin maybe his brother Nick Sirianni. So he got into
a spirited back and forth with the with the media
over the play and the lack of targets.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
We have some audio on that. I think it's a
cut too from Sirianni.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
But here's Nick Sirianni, and listen to how the temperature
gets raised.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
Take a listen.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
Approably, we don't have that, but he said, I knew
exactly what the play was and that we were calling,
and that that was run in the moment, he said.
And then the reporter questioned him, and he came back,
Sirianni in the Blowbible, he said, wait a minute, is.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
That a Are we debating?

Speaker 1 (11:24):
Was the way he answered it, and and so they
went back and forth. But it was interesting, are we
in a debate? That was the money quote from Nick
Sirianni as he shot back. So the question, I wish
we had it, but we don't.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
So what's the temperature in the Eagle coaches room?

Speaker 1 (11:41):
As Nick Sirianni gets into it with the reporters there
and they're questioning the targets for aj Brown and all that,
and he comes back and just says, are we in
a debate? With the reporter? So the temperature in the
room here is it's smoky, it's a little spicy. Sin
Fuegel it's making a run to Taco bell at two

(12:04):
in the morning, That's what that is. He's an angry
bird flapping at the podium. Sirianni there because he knows, right,
he knows deep down these guys they tune them out.
A lot of players tune out the coaches. But this
has been going on for a while now. Instead of
just cleaning up the mess, Sirianni gives you that KOI,

(12:26):
I knew exactly what the play was, what we called
what happened, acting like he's testifying in front of Congress.
So instead of just answering the question, now, did Jalen
Hurtz and AJ Brown conspire for an audible on that
play or not? It's a yes or no situation. Sirianni

(12:48):
looked like a guy who was caught trying to fold
a fitted sheet.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
You know, it just didn't really seem like he was happy.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
He was angry, a little confused, the temperature getting raised there,
the sweat blaming the sheet that he was trying to,
you know, to put on the bed, and you could
hear the fuse burning on him, and this whole AJ
Brown thing that this guy's become a walking smoke detector
for drama again every week, Beep beet be time to

(13:22):
change the battery. That changed another issue, And now Nick
Sirianni's sniping at reports.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
Are we in a debate?

Speaker 1 (13:32):
Yes, Nick, because your offense looks like it's stuck in molasses.

Speaker 6 (13:38):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
This team is seven and two and yet it feels
like they're hosting the La La Palooza for dysfunction. Every
tent is chaos Palooza. The headliner Hurts and Brown, which
sounds like a law firm the rogue Sessions. So major,

(13:59):
major red flag.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
On this one.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
All right, last word, So let's go big picture on
this as we continue the theme of the hour.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
The reigning Super Bowl champions of Pro Football, the Birds.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
So question thumbs up or thumbs down, thumbs up, thumbs
down on the internal angst between AJ Brown, Jalen Hurts,
and Nick Sirianni affecting the Eagles long term. All right,
so you have to really stretch your imagination on this one. Okay,

(14:36):
we'll start with this because they are, as we said,
seven and two, and they look like they're being held
together by duct tape and a Xanax prescription. So I'm
gonna go in terms of the question thumbs up thumbs
down to this being this internal issue affecting the Eagles
long term. I'm gonna go thumbs up because you know
who the Eagles are. The Eagles are like the guy

(14:58):
that wins a blackjack tournament. His marriage has collapsed, his
car is getting repolled, and the hotel just kicked him
out because his credit card no longer works.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
The scoreboard looks fine, all right. Things are kind of
in the dumpster, though.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
Nick Sirianni standing there like a camp counselor, and he's
got It's in the middle of summer.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
He's a camp counselor.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
There's no bug spray, and they're getting swarmed by locusts,
overwhelmed and clearly not in control.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
Every win, every wind, comes.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
With drama, a new league here, a new fight over there,
a new cryptic quote.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
This week we had a new twitch Twitch ray on
the video game Pig. So it's the classic.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
Winning is masking the rot, and there's a lot of rot.
It's masking the rod. And it's a nice paint job. Yeah,
your house is covered in termites. You want to sell
the house, so you put some new dry wall up
and you paint the house and you're like, Okay, we're
gonna just cover up the termite set we're and the
crazy part.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
I'm sure if you.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
Said to them behind the scenes, do you think this
is gonna work, they say, well, yeah, it's sustainable. I
don't think they're lying by that. They believe it's sustainable
for them. They're winning through complete dysfunction, and it is
impressive and it's deeply stupid at the same time. Dumb
d dumb dumb dumbs just fascinating. And the Eagles could have,

(16:26):
should have, probably would have traded aj Brown if they
had known that this was going to continue. But how
could they not know this was going to continue? It
has been an ongoing theme that has shadowed the Philadelphia
Eagles for the better part of two years now. AJ
Brown got there, he got paid, and it's like he's
the forgotten man in the offense and it's pretty pretty.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
Wild, all right, So they think they're gonna be able
to get it done.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
I would bookmarket done this for more than a couple
of years now.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
And this stuff almost always shows up in January, and
then when.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
You finally lose in the playoffs, it's where the poop
hits the fan and there's poop in the air everywhere,
and all the dirty laundry comes out.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
I didn't like that. Guy didn't like that. I'm pointing
fingers over here.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
And the Eagles, they are a playoff team built on
what built on passive, aggressive comments, burner accounts, and rogue
fourth down audibles, it would appear, So what could possibly
go wrong? What could possibly go wrong with all of
that stuff? It is the Ben Mallord Show.

Speaker 2 (17:37):
Now. If you would like to be part of this program,
you can join us right.

Speaker 1 (17:41):

answer the question. So but if you send them in
hashtag ask Ben. And I've noticed the people that are
the most annoying normally get their questions read. So it's
not that i want you to be annoying. I'm just
pointing that out. We began this hour with the AJ
Brown drama O rama, always fun, always fun.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
Philadelphia a great record.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
You look at your NFL standings and there the Eagles
are right near the top of the NFC and all
of the NFL, and yet AJ Brown not pleased at all.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
With the Eagles offense.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
And when you dig a little bit deeper, When you
dig a little bit deeper, it is completely understandable why
AJ Brown is upset. He's getting paid a lot of
money and all. That's great and wonderful, But if you
look at the passing offense, which is what he's part of, right,
the passing offense of the Philadelphia Eagles, they are actually

(22:10):
a little bit better than they were last year. The
Eagles won the Super Bowl last season and they had
the thirtieth ranked passing offense, which I'm told is not good.
I'd have to check with some of those TV guys
to see, but they were thirtieth out of thirty two
teams last year they won the Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
That Skwan Barkley was out of his mind. The defense
was amazing.

Speaker 1 (22:32):
This year, the Eagles passing offense is ranked twenty fifth
in the NFL.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
That is behind.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
The fossil that is Aaron Rodgers. That is behind to
a tongue Bay Lois Miami Dolphins. That is not good.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
That is not good.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
But that's where Philadelphia finds himself. So they're twenty fifth
in the NFL this year. And A. J.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
Brown's like, Hey what about me?

Speaker 1 (22:57):
Three Yeah, got birds. That's go birds, my mayor, that's
my mayor. I don't live in Philadelphia, but I lived
in Philly. That would be my mayor absolutely. Now for
years it was always was as long as you target
the receiver, they'll be happy. It was the famous one
of the great books of our time. People talk about

(23:19):
the great books that have written written. Most people will
say the Bible's up there, But how about the Keyshawn
Johnson book, Give me the damn ball right?

Speaker 2 (23:26):
That was? That was outstanding, just absolutely outstanding. So he's like, okay,
so you got this guy AJ.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
Brown, and he's again he was like a thirty million
dollar guy a year somewhere in that ballpark, good tax bracket.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
And all that stuff. And so you look at like, okay,
so where is he at?

Speaker 1 (23:44):
AJ Brown? Is he He's got to be in like
the top twenty in targets? Right, No, no, no, he's
not our top twenty five. How about top No, no,
not tope top definitely top thirty, right, it's got to
be in the top thirty, yes, right, and no he's not, okay,
top thirty five. Do I hear top thirty five?

Speaker 8 (24:06):
No?

Speaker 5 (24:06):
Aared?

Speaker 2 (24:07):
How about top forty do I hear?

Speaker 7 (24:09):
No?

Speaker 1 (24:10):
Yeah, he's ranked tied for forty third in targets this season?
Is where AJ Brown is among the players that have
more targets. Harold fannin junior, who's a tight end for
the Cleveland Browns. The Great Dalton Schultz of the Houston
Texans has more. Jowan Johnson a tight end of your

(24:30):
New Orleans Saints.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
What else?

Speaker 1 (24:33):
I mean, let's see a big boy Quentin Johnston of
the Chargers. Jerry Judy of the Cleveland Browns has more.
Now the Marching and Chowder Society for the Philadelphia Eagles
will say, well, the Eagles have had the lead, They've
been winning these games.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
They have a good running game. They don't throw as
much when you're in the lead.

Speaker 1 (24:52):
I would argue, though, that even in today's NFL, it's
been this way for several years, they still throw even
when they have the lead. It's not like they stop
throwing the ball. That's all they can do. They just
throw shorter passes, but they're still throwing the ball. So
it is interesting. Let's see what else do we have.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
Let's go to the X machine. We read a lot
of these.

Speaker 1 (25:12):
Comments on X at Ben mallor that's at Ben mallor
see what do we have here?

Speaker 2 (25:19):
Page down?

Speaker 1 (25:20):
Andy and Lino Lakes, Minnesota says a plus on the
opening Mallard monologue, The Dysfunction Junction. Thank you we a plus,
he says on the valid monologue The Dysfunction Junction Train,
We'll be pulling in on week seventeen, right on schedule,
and we'll forget all about this drama a rama.

Speaker 2 (25:40):
I'm not gonna forget about it. I'm not what else
do we have?

Speaker 1 (25:44):
Super Marcus Steve, who complains about everything, says, thanks for
finally posting the rundown. Now I can see what other
monologues you have planned for tonight. I'm really interested to
hear the Jamis Winston monologue. Later on, I was convinced
we never have another Jamis monologue. Well your dream have
come true. Yes, Doc Dan the Great Die. We used

(26:05):
to have Doc Mike in Chicago, but he's been replaced
by Doc Dan in Minnesota. And Doc Dan says betting
sites should take bets on AJ Brown example, will he
complain before or after.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
Wednesday this week?

Speaker 7 (26:20):
All right?

Speaker 2 (26:20):
Supermarket Seve also wrote back.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
He said AJ Brown complaining about something is kind of
old news. I'm wondering, he says, Oh, he's he was
complaining about the rundown. Ferk Dok says, would anyone care
if the NBA season was canceled and the Thunder were
handed another title. They just completely poll axe the Lakers.
I don't think anyone can beat them.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
Eh.

Speaker 1 (26:43):
I had that on the back, but that was a
epic beat down. That was How bad was that lost
by the Lakers?

Speaker 2 (26:49):
Now again, I don't I had at all.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
I was really paying that close attention to it, because
why would you. They were doing extended garbage time, Mike
Breen was doing filler in the third quarter, and they're
trying to get people to watch. But it was so bad.
People are saying, is Luca back on the hookah? Is
he back to being hookah? Luca as the Laker?

Speaker 2 (27:08):
That was not just it lost.

Speaker 1 (27:09):
That was a Mollywop situation by OKC, and I thought
that all you Laker guys said this is legit and
they don't need Lebron and the Lakers are wonderful.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
And raw ra team.

Speaker 1 (27:23):
I got emails from people I said, well, you know, listen,
this Luca's taken over. Now, he's in shape. The Lakers
are great, They're wonderful. No one can stop the Lakers.
All this stuff. Well, I guess Oklahoma City did not
get that message. And that was a what was the
final score, one twenty one to ninety two, just your
casual one twenty one to ninety two game, a game

(27:46):
the Thunder led.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
By thirty seven points, thirty seven points at one point.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
And I go back to the comments of the late
great Bill Fitch, who taught me about poor basketball as
a young reporter. And Bill Fitch many teams in the
NBA by that point, and he pointed out that if
you play hard and you play defense, you'll never lose
a game by twenty or more points. You'll have a
chance the way the league is designed to have a.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
Chance to win in the fourth quarter.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
You probably won't win if you're not as talented, but
you'll have a chance. And if you don't play hard,
if you're bummed out because there's no good places to
go out and drink in Oklahoma City, I guess at
night or no no good clubs or whatever, you're bummed out.
You're an OKAC and you go out there because go
over to Kyrie's house, our buddy Kyrie in Okac, he's
a big Thunder guy. He'll go at your party at
the place to anyway, there you go. And the Lakers

(28:35):
were outscored by thirty one points with Luke on the
court thirty five points with Ruy Hashimura. So Ye not
doing any basketball monologues unless there's a scandal. If we
have a scandal, I'm in on the basketball monologues.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
We need a good scandal.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox is the number.
Let's go now to the state of Florida. Man that
survived a heart attack and is now trying to survive,
have another one. Jed who fled, Hello, Jed who fled Welcome.

Speaker 4 (29:05):
My dad has just got a road to TV.

Speaker 6 (29:09):
And as the.

Speaker 4 (29:10):
Longest we'll say, longest unemployed member of my family, it's
my job since my mother passed back in April, to
be with him during the day and everything. As long
as you promised not to mention me, and that sounds crazy,
we will be subscribing to Bennie versus the Penny. But
if you're like, why would I mention you, I don't know.
Probably because I'm smarter and intellectually with you than Timeline
he could ever be, and I dress better and you

(29:31):
might reference that, but but I don't do that, and
I'm gonna subscribe it. You've got another subscriber. Now, let
me tell you what I was doing. I was manscaping,
and that man, that monologue was so seductively smooth that
I didn't nick myself wanting while I was manscaping. And
that is the first if you're listening to the Ben
Miler Show for the first time or one of the
first times, you have been blessed by whatever God you

(29:52):
believe in, Because this is not some sort of legal
leaves each month, each monologue is the best, Each monologue
is better than the one before it, and will continue
to be better. And if you doubt that, don't ask
Justice Cooper or Lelaya. Possibly maybe ask them about a
good mood. Ask Ben Maller. He will guarantee every monologue
is better than the one before it. Speak of that

(30:14):
monologue and an appropriate transition, Man.

Speaker 6 (30:17):
What appropriate transition it is?

Speaker 4 (30:18):
It's a strange bird.

Speaker 6 (30:20):
R ade Bobby bowdenfields at don't talpje Campbell Stadium needs
to be raised, all right, let's it be of R
A D D raised to the ground.

Speaker 4 (30:32):
What does that mean?

Speaker 6 (30:33):
No, kids, that doesn't mean we're gonna build it up.

Speaker 4 (30:35):
We're gonna cut this thing down from the foundation and
burn it to the ground, Mike Novel. I'm sorry you
came in after Willie Taggart's and it made it look
like you deserved a huge buyout or a huge contract
extension because of the competent terribleness of the coach before you.
Oh my god, dude, I was in that I was
in that boat, but I don't I know that for

(30:57):
want of look tolls like a Titanic. Wherever I jumped out,
I was swimming away from the Mike Yail vote Mike
Mike norvail boat. I started swimming away from the nunciation
on the radio boat as well, and I'm trying to
stay in that boat as much as possible. Ben a
great monologue, and one in a perfect transition I made
to Florida State football. There's no football. There's professional play

(31:18):
to night, so we could talk about it.

Speaker 6 (31:20):
Please call it.

Speaker 4 (31:20):
Don't cut me off.

Speaker 8 (31:21):
What well?

Speaker 2 (31:24):
Take take up breath, Take up breath? All right, listen,
all right.

Speaker 1 (31:27):
First of all, I don't think you're on as many
pharmaceuticals as you normally on, because I could understand most
of what you said.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
That's number one.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
Number two, I give you credit. You're just like blind Scott.
Blind Scott never takes a break. He never pauses. Therefore,
I can never jump in and the call.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
You don't either. You just keep going.

Speaker 4 (31:45):
You just go.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
You like the energizer.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
Buddy, You go on bad bad, bad, bad bad bad
blah blah blah. Number three, Would you be willing to
take the wrecking ball to the by by yourself? By
the way, you'd have to destroy the whole thing with
the wrecking you'd have to go to Tallahassee and do it.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
You would be willing to do that? Okay? Apparently not?

Speaker 7 (32:07):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (32:07):
There he is there, yes, Jed, Hello.

Speaker 6 (32:09):
Jed, I didn't just wait. People were saying us and
wants to go and dis you, but.

Speaker 4 (32:14):
You went back to me. I thought you had cut
me off. I like Odens Brian's Brian Scott. I'm sorry,
such a you got transition having vision one of these
sides vision.

Speaker 1 (32:26):
All right, all right, all right, thank you, all right,
my god, it was not needing that. But there we are,
all right, Jed who fled you? Imagine his old man?
I mean, here is my wife passed away and Jed
is keeping him company during the day. That must be
quite the quite the day. Oh my god, imagine what

(32:46):
those two are doing. Imagine what those two are doing
that is just might just be a wacky, wild crazy
and all of that.

Speaker 2 (32:56):
All of that, all right, is the Ben Mahler Show.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
Oh, we are working our way through the overnight hours
here and if you would like to be part eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox, that's eight seven seven
nine nine six six three sixty nine if you want
to join the festivus of talk time.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
Now though, for the who am I?

Speaker 1 (33:17):
Game?

Speaker 2 (33:18):
And this is where we pretend to be somebody else else,
We call it the who am I?

Speaker 6 (33:21):
Game?

Speaker 1 (33:22):
Well, I just did say so. Seahawks star Jackson Smith
o Jigba. Again, we have a theory here and I
believe we're right. If you have a name that is
not part of the mainstream, a name that is difficult
to pronounce, you have to be really really good for
people to know your your pronunciation. Like Jianna said Ninda Kombo.
When he first started, he was just called people call

(33:43):
him the Greek Free because nobody knew to pronounce it.
He became great and people learned how to pronounce his name.
And Seahawks star Jackson Smith in Jigba, who the Injigba
part would be the part where people are and what
is that? But Jackson Smith and Jiggba has been wonderful
for Seattle. He has one thousand and four forty one
receiving yards on just two hundred and twenty six roots

(34:04):
or routes run this season. The proper pronunciation is roots,
marking the fewest roots for a one thousand yard season
since twenty fourteen, So over over a decade, I am
the next closest in that last period, last decade or so.
Who am I? Well, that was the question, who am I?

(34:28):
If you know the answer, hit me up on X
at Ben Mahlor. That's at Ben Mahler. We'll get to
it and we will do it.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
Next.

Speaker 7 (34:39):
Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Mallor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

Speaker 2 (34:45):
Bill Miller and you, it is the Ben Mahlor Show.
We are so glad you have chosen to hang out with.

Speaker 1 (34:50):
Us in the wee hours of the morning, still late

at Ben Mahler's show. Behind the scenes Chaos Hot takes
overnight in madness. The circus tent never closes, and we

(35:36):
need your support. Back to it all, right, back to
it we go, and time now for the who mi game.

Speaker 2 (35:46):
This is where we pretend to be somebody else. Let's
we call it the.

Speaker 1 (35:49):
Who am I Game. We'll also get coming up in
a minute to the end of it. We'll get to
that time permitted. Hopefully we'll have time for that. But
here's the who am I game? Who Well, that's where
we pretend to be somebody else and then we quiz
you because you're such a smart person and you would
never cheat. You would never go to the to the
AI machine or the Google machine or whatever and cheats.

Speaker 2 (36:12):
No, no, no, no, no, don't do We got rid
of Eddie. He was always cheating. So here's the who
am I? I didn't give him?

Speaker 1 (36:18):
Seahawks star Jackson Smith and Jigbo who has one forty
one receiving yards and he's only had two hundred and
twenty six.

Speaker 2 (36:27):
Roots this season, so not a lot of running of
the football.

Speaker 1 (36:33):
Twenty six routes, so that marks the fewest routes for
a one thousand yard season since twenty fourteen. It's over
a decade. I am the next closest. Who am I?
That is the question? What is the answer? And let's
see does anyone know?

Speaker 2 (36:52):

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
