So I leave this hour from the NFL. We had
an island game the Island Life there now again I
was gonna be at originally, and I'm glad the schedule
changed and we're doing the show from Vegas. Here on
(03:36):
the overnight from the Great Fremont Street Experience in a
secret bunker just down outside. There's a bunch of drunk
people that this smell disgusting that are walking around. But anyway,
we're hanging out here. I was gonna go to Sofi
Stadium to see the game. Carson Wentz was driving the
Purple People Eater's caravan as it rolled into the into
(03:57):
the hood in Inglewood for a little with Justin Herbert
and the Lightning Bolts, and he had Al Michael's there.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Al loves that he lives over in Brentwood. It's so close.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
He just has to stand on the four to five
for a little bit make his way down the four
or five boom right there in Englewood and kirk kurb Street,
who hates it because he doesn't live on the West Coast.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
He has a flyout for it.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
They had the call on the Amazon, so I don't
know you watched it not. Chargers had their throwback uniforms.
That is a sign, by the way, you're getting old.
My first couple of years in radio, I started in
San Diego and those were the uniforms the Chargers war
and now their throwback. Oh my God anyway, justin Herbert
two hundred and twenty seven yards passing and three touchdowns
(04:38):
and the Chargers send the Vikings to the electric Chair
where they blow out with twenty seven point win.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
They won by twenty.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Seven points on Thursday night, ending a skid of three
losses in four games and had knocked them out of
the AFC West catbird seat. They had all those early
wins over AFC West opponents, and now they fall on
hard times. But the Chargers get back into the win
column here an unexpectedly easy win. The Chargers win four
(05:08):
days after being trampled by the Colts in that same ballpark.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
They get destroyed.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Now.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
The better story is in the losing locker room, where
the Vikings have now lost consecutive games for the first
time this season, both coming in a five day span.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
They lost to Philly at.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Home, a game where they had plenty of opportunities, were
able to matriculate the ball down in the red zone
and the offense fizzled in the red zone.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
But certainly not the case here.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
As it was just a debacle from beginning to end.
From Alpha to Omega, the Minnesota offense managed just twelve
first downs that's it.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Twelve.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
I'm told that's not good. Three of eleven on third
down and had the ball for just twenty one minutes.
Oh my god. So that's a good jumping off point.
Let us discuss the question what the heck happened to
Kevin o'condle's Minnesota vikings. So my observations of this, I've
(06:11):
got bootleg vhs, copy, ice cube, and shadows, and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make a very expensive cup from a tiki bar.
Very expensive, very very expensive. Okay, you should not purchase anyway,
(06:34):
Number WO, I said, number W. So in the holiday spirit,
we are a week away from Halloween, Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
I know what happened.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
They came out to La they went to Spirit Halloween,
and they showed up in the wrong damn costume.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
That's what happened.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Instead of the purple people Eater uniforms, they came out
dressed like Gang Green.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
They played like a Jets. You're not the Jets.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Stop playing like the Jet. That was lifeless, that was
aloof that was zero. Just now, as you know, we
do Benny versus the Penny, and we do it every
game every Thursday, night game, and then we have all
the other big games on the weekend.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
We handicap.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
And it's very frustrating when you expect an honest performance,
when you assume that you're going to get effort, because
why why else would you bother watching this? And my
main criticism and people said, well, Carson Wentzon, We'll get
to Carson Wentz because he was terrible, And he said, well,
I'll give him a pass. Brian flores his defense though,
(07:35):
and to me, that's a bigger that is a bigger
thing for the Vikings. Yet the bread and butter of
that squad is the defense. Good defense, bread and button.
They were burnt toast is what they were. The Chargers
converted sixty nine on third down, almost seventy percent on
third down. They had four hundred and nineteen yards of offense,
(07:57):
held the ball for thirty nine freaking minutes.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
That's not defense. That's daycare, is what that.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
And you want arm tackles, check, you want miss tackles,
check check. You want bad pursuit angles check check check.
They looked like they had all gotten together in the
game film they watched a bootleg VHS copy of NFL
films Super Duper football follies is what they watched. Don't
forget also poor coverage, bad pass rush, check check check
(08:27):
check check check check. Justin Herbert, who was running for
his life. I know the Chargers got some guys back,
they didn't get everyone back. Herbert completed seventy two percent
of his passes. He averaged nine point one yards attempt
per attempt, nine point one yards per attempt. Do you
just dow how incompetent, how you just aren't even trying
(08:48):
if you're on defense, if you allow that kind of efficiency.
Kevin O'Connell, the coach, looked lost. Looked like a guy
holding a map trying to read it and it was
upside down. He never turned it the right side I meant.
And there were no adjustments. There was no fire, no
fire from the Viking. I did see a couple of
players get upset because their teammates were not in the
(09:10):
proper position, but the rest of the guys looked like
they had no clue.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
There was zero fight.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
They were like a soft, warm pretzel, which I love,
a sophomore pretzel. I don't want my football team. I
don't want my football team to play like that. And
you can't fake the energy. Well, now we are going
to address the snuffle uffagus in the room, and that
would be Carson Wentz, who also sucked. Wentz horrible numbers.
(09:35):
Just the numbers aren't as bad as he played. Finished
with one hundred and forty four yards, had a touchdown,
an interception, got sacked five times. Now the big headline.
This was featured on the Amazon broadcast. They was talking
point he played through a left shoulder injury that, based
on his body language and his moaning on the field,
he had aggravated it multiple times. Here's Kevin o'conn donnell.
(10:01):
People criticizing O'Connell. You left Wentz in there. You could
have taken him out earlier in the game. You left
him in there. Explain yourself, coach.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
We kept on, you know, checking in maybe getting Max
ready to go. But he you know, you know, Tyler
was coming to me a lot tonight, but every time
he seemed to update me on that. You know, Carson
was uh, you know, he was sore going into it, and.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
He was able.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
He took obviously quite a few hits and and but
he was able to you know, I asked him multiple times,
you know, where he was at, and he he said
he was good and wanted to keep going. I know,
it did seem like he was, you know, in pain
there a couple of times, a few times.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
So the body language was it looked like he was
literally on his deathbed. He appeared like they could bring
in a priest and a rabbi and give him his
last right. So the way Wentz was acting on the field,
here's Carson Wentz. You were hurt, you were playing. You
look like you were about to drop dead on the field.
Explain yourself, Arson Wentz.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Just trying to do everything I can to help this team,
you know, Okay, I think confident, even with the pain,
that I can help, you know, I can contribute and
make plays and spread this ball around. And you know,
I thought we did it okay at times, left left
plenty of things out there. The interception, you know, I
thought I thought maybe we had a little chance to
kind of put something together and go down there, and
I just missed it, you know, And I gotta be
(11:22):
better there. But yeah, at the end of the day,
I feel like I'm physically able to go whether it
hurts or not.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
There's a guy that was what he just said there
completely wrong, all right, so the question does Carson Wentz
get immunity does he get immunity from criticism because he
played through a shoulder that was barking like a dog
the injury. So on my scorecard, I wrote down two
(11:51):
letters and and oh no, no, he was cleared to play.
Carson Wentz, you don't get a gold star near your
name because your shoulder was causing you issues and you played,
and you played horrifically. The reason these historic games is sports.
(12:13):
The Flu game, which I guess was not even the
Flu game with Michael Jordan, the Kobe Bryant version of that.
Those are special games because they played well and they
were battling some kind of what now is called neurovirus.
Back then it was called the flu. Simpler times, simpler times.
I just want to point that out. The neurovirus thing
(12:34):
very annoying. I grew up with the flu. I'm not
ready to call it the neurovirus. I just want to
point that out. Anyway, Carson Wentz's fair game, he is.
He made the charger defense, which looked like wet tissue
paper a couple of days ago against Danny Dimes and
the Colts look like the two thousand ravens. Okay, and
(12:55):
remember it's hurt versus injured. If you're injured, you sit.
If you're hurt, you play and you produce. Went did neither.
He stunk from head to toe, as John Tortorella so
famously said back.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
In the day. So to me, there's no excuse.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
And O'Connell also like, what are you doing, Like open
your eyes? You know Stevie Meatballs is blind and he
could see that this was a disaster, inca terror. Was like,
I'm screaming. I can see this and I can't see anything,
but I know this is bad. Playing through pain does
not make up for playing like a bum.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
It just doesn't. I'll be I'll be the bad guy
all right now. Page two.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
So on the Chargers side, the question must be asked,
if you watched any of this game? The star of
the show, well, Justin Herbert had really sexy stats. The
question being asked by many have Jim Harbaugh's Chargers solve
their running back dilemma with the emergence of Kamani Vidal,
the running back who I had never heard of. I
(13:58):
know he had a good game a couple weeks ago
the Dolphins, But my God, so I'll answer this. The
Chargers clearly think they've unearthed a hidden gem in the
human bowling ball of a back commanding Vidal.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
This guy, it is a redemption story.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
The guy was a Troy Trojan, not a usc Trojan,
a Troy Trojan sixth round pick. He was actually fired
by the Chargers. He was dumped. He was released at
the end of training camp. Back off the scrap heap.
Now suddenly he was running around. He looks like if
you're old enough to remember when Nice Jones Drew, who
(14:37):
had a good career played with Jacksonville mostly Maurice Jones
Drew look like that. It looked like maybe a little
bigger or a smaller, but ways more look good on
a tablet. The stats one hundred and seventeen yards average
five point one yards per rush. Hello, And for those
of you that are blind that don't know what's he
(14:59):
look like. He's built like a keg of beer, Like
if you got a keg of medello.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
That's what it was.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
He's five eight two fifteen five eight two fifteen. He
was running through the vikings like they were traffic cones,
like he was at the combine and he was just
running through. However, I would not advise a ticker tape parade.
Yet you can stop that right now. The Vikings defense
look like it was doing the limbo out there, as
(15:31):
we said, arm tackles to the right, bad angles to
the left, total lollygagging everywhere. And I'm convinced your Babushka
could have averaged four yards to carry against the defensive
effort from the Minnesota Vikings in that game. And so
I will quote the great ambassador of the world ice Cube,
who said it best you better check yourself before you
(15:53):
wreck yourself, that this might be more about Minnesota's matado defense.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Ho eh eh.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Then Vidal becoming the next great running back of our
time I'm pulling for. I always love the bug on
the rug, the little fat running back. Those are always
fun players to watch. They are remember Darren Sproll's long
career in the NFL. Love watching him play, right because
he's so These guys are so small, even though he's
built physically like a beer keg, they're so little. He's
(16:23):
like five eight and Darren Sproles was five to six,
you know, and he appeared to know what he was
doing as far as blocking.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Again, he wasn't even challenged her Vidal.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
But that's how you get on the field in the
NFL if you're a nope, if you can block, especially
for a guy like Jim Harbaugh, and so he fits
that esthetic. He's short, thick, he's got a mean streak
to him, which you kind of have to be. If
you're a six round pick out of Troy, you know
you weren't getting toddled at Ohio State with nil money.
If you're going to Troy, you know, maybe you get
(16:54):
some money for the vending machine. Possibly, But I have
seen this movie before one big game. Remember, I forget
the guys, and I was trying to think when I was
I was coming in here to the studio. There was
a guy for the Patriots, somebody I know. You might
know if you're listening. There was a one hit wonder
for the Patriots in the glory days of the Belichick run.
The guy it was, if I remember correctly, because I
(17:15):
did a monologue about it, I forgot, you know, so
long ago. But he had a monster game against I
want to say the Colts in one of those big
matchups between Tom Brady and I think Peyton Manning was
on the Colts had a huge game, and then we
never heard from him again, and it.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Was like, he's very odd. It was like, what happened?
Where'd that guy go?
Speaker 6 (17:33):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
I forget his name, though I got the Google machine.
I guess I could look that up. But man alive,
it was. It was absolutely crazy. Anyway, So one big
game when we've seen this happen, then three weeks later
we're like, what happened to that guy? So, no, it
doesn't mean the Chargers have solved the Rubik's qbe at
the running back position. However, you certainly want to see
what this guy's got. You want to give him some
(17:56):
more opportunities, and you know, they might have found a
serviceable running back who certainly showed he can feast on
a soft defense. He played well against the Dolphins, as
we said, and so now he does it against the Vikings,
and so we'll see what happens when he plays a
team that's actually engaged and is trying to tackle you
and not use arm tackling. So I wouldn't buy stock yet,
I would keep the confetti in the box. I would
(18:17):
not open the box with the confetti. All right, final
point back to the Vikings we go where doctor David Chow,
a former Chargers team doctor, better known if you're on
social media as the pro Football Doc, and he has
tossed out a mouthwatering conspiracy theory about the Minnesota football
(18:38):
team manipulating the injured list.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Yeah, how crazy is that? You see it? No, he
didn't say, Okay, I'll give you the details on this.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
So doctor Chow says that quarterback JJ McCarthy is hiding
behind a health situation and he didn't play in this game.
Were talking about Carson Wentz went out there and was horrific.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
This was the second week in a row.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
That the Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell had McCarthy as
the emergency third quarterback, meaning that the doctors had cleared
him to play. So question thumbs up or thumbs down
to the Vikings embellishing quarterback JJ McCarthy's injury status to
(19:23):
keep him on the bench and claiming, well, we want
him only when he's one hundred percent. So I'm gonna
go thumbs up on that. You can say, well, that's
not really a conspiracy, it's just gamesmanship, okay, Okay. What
the Vikings are doing with this is they're sending him
to the shadow row. This is classic shadow band stuff.
(19:45):
He's almost ready, but not quite. And it's a beautiful scam.
You got coach Kevin O'Connell looking around thinking, man, I
can squeeze some games out of wins, and I may
be able to win a couple of these things. There's
no need to rush the red shirt rookie back into
the game to be eaten by the Bears and the
of course he beat the Bears, but the Lions the
(20:06):
teams in the division. So instead Minnesota, they said, all right,
we're gonna keep listing McCarthy as an emergency quarterback, even
though the doctors have already medically cleared him. So if
you're healthy enough to be an emergency quarterback, as I
understand it, you're healthy enough to, you know, actually play
in the game. So this is not a medical thing.
(20:27):
This is an incompetence thing. And the coaches don't trust
JJ McCarthy's anyone disagree with that.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
I don't see anyone shaking their head.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
No.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
And O'Connell he's got plausible deniability.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
He can say, wow, we just want the ballplayer to
be one hundred percent. That's all we want.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Well, no one's ever one hundred percent right, and not
certainly not week eight of an NFL season. And the
reality is, and it's the quiet part we're gonna say
out loud. JJ McCarthy was overwhelmed. He wasn't ready early
in the season. Any anyone that knows anything about football
knows he was not prepared to play quarterback in the NFL.
(21:03):
They were, they were upset and people watching him, I
guarantee you people behind the scenes were like, oh my god,
what do we do? So they're stashing him. It is
a timeless strategy in the NFL. Sleight of hand. Sleight
of hand. It is the Ben Mallard Show. Now, if
you would like to be part, we can take your
calls in. Obviously, the big gambling story involving the NBA,
(21:27):
active head coach, active NBA player, both popped after games
and just a wacky, wacky story. So if you want
to comment on that, Chauncey Billips, he's got some explaining
to do and Scary Terry, both of those guys in
a bit of trouble. In a bit of trouble, Take
your calls eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox, Also
(21:48):
on X at Ben Mahlor. That's at Ben Mahler if
you'd like to be part of the program. So it
turns out that it wasn't just an NBA coach, It
wasn't just in NBA player that got their butt kicked
by the fags. What if I told you a well
known sportscaster was body slam by the FBI And we've got.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
The delicious audio. We'll get to that and we will
do it.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
Just Josh Wright Sin says, how do you how you
feel about people calling the flu of the neurovirus is
how I feel when someone walks into a home and says,
is this the primary suite? No, it's the master bedroom.
Just Josh says, what's wrong with these people? I still
put anchemima on my waffles, and yeah, no, I hear,
(24:43):
I hear you, Josh. The You know, I grew up
with Uncle Ben. I didn't see anything wrong with Uncle Ben.
It was my favorite brand of rice, Uncle Ben's Rice,
and I liked it a lot, and I used to
when I was a kid. I wanted to deserve. I said, Mom,
can I have an Eskimo pie? She said, yes, Ben,
you can have an Eskimo pie. But now I can't
have an Eskimo pie. Screwge right and says why not
keep throwing JJ McCarthy out there. Carson Wentz blows, says Scrooge.
(25:05):
You'd think someone who's been on six teams, six teams
in six years would would be a hint that he stinks.
Even if McCarthy blows, at least he gets the experience
of playing every week. Carson Wentz is a waste of
time for dog right, since says I'd like to call
(25:27):
out Robbie the mutiny fan, for publicly announcing he faded
your pick on Benny versus the penny by betting on
the charges. I'd rather be wrong and go down with
the ship with Ben than be a disloyal snake like Robbie. Well,
that disappoints me. I've met Robbie several times, saw himone
(25:48):
is a native Northwest there in Seattle. We did meet
and greet six years ago in twenty nineteen, and Robbie
showed up and he came to the studio in la
and we hung out together, and I thought he was
a friend, you know, the promise he hangs out with
that that weasel justin in Cincinnati, a little weasel. That's
the problem, all right. Late night Truck Tester says, Yes,
(26:08):
the Vikings didn't show up to win, but the malord
militia knows you will show up to win. Yet another
radio game show on the Minnesota station. Well, we'll see
about that. I was thinking they play this game called
the Initials Game, which is very popular. It's actually a
cool game. I heard it and they asked me if
(26:28):
I wanted to do it, and so.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
I was like, I'll check it out. And I was like, okay,
and this can be.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
A disaster I'm imagining. Let's see here page. Dan Eke
in Roseville, Minnesota says Troy University will retire Kamani Vidoal's number,
just like they did for Jet who Fled and his
number to me, Jet who Fled's the most powerful alumnus
of Troy University.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Thomas says.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
The Patriots player was named Jonas Gray. He ran for
over two hundred yards and then was cut a couple
weeks later for being late.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Yes, yes, that is correct. That's the guy. Didn't he
end up?
Speaker 2 (27:11):
That was back when magazines were still popular. Didn't he
end up like on the cover of Sports Illustrated when
that mattered? Chuck also sent that in, so does Bill.
There's one thing people love more than anything is correcting
the dumb ass on the radio. So thank you for that. Yeah,
j there it is. And alf Alf sent the cover
Jonas Gray on the cover of Sports Illustrated, and he
(27:33):
now everyone's making a mockery of how dumb I am.
I couldn't think of that guy's name, but yeat, Jonas
Gray is a great example, and that guy looks so
freaking good against the Colts and I remember doing a monologue.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
What year was that? I said, I can see the
date on this. Now I gotta get the year.
Speaker 7 (27:50):
LA.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
It doesn't have it on the cover. Oh no, oh
my god, it does have it on the cover.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Holy crap.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Twenty fourteen, eleven year years ago. Oh my god. Wow,
that's a long time. Eleven years ago, Bagel Boy writes,
and he says, Carson Wayne Stunk as a backup here
in Kansas City, who sucks like that?
Speaker 1 (28:14):
He says, all right, we'll go to the phones calling. Yeah,
here's a calling radio show.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Let's say hello, go to the international line, and we're
going to say hello to Hank. Hank is in Tokyo,
Hello Hank. Back to back shows for Hank in Tokyo,
Hello Hank.
Speaker 6 (28:31):
Well I called for the Jonas Gray stole.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
So you told oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know that.
I don't know. It doesn't say anything on my board.
But you want to hang up? You want to hang
up now?
Speaker 6 (28:39):
You know I don't have anything else for you other
than nothing else.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
There's nothing else you want to say.
Speaker 6 (28:46):
I remember the story.
Speaker 9 (28:47):
So he claimed that he left. He used his phone
as his alarm, and he left his phone on the
side table, and he and he got so many chats
and and whatever from friends that the battery died out
and so so his alarm didn't go off, and they
didn't show up the next day for practice, sometimes until
(29:08):
he got cut.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Yeah, that was back when Belichick could do stuff like
that because they had a really good team and he
could just be a complete a hole. Not my favorite
I showed up late story. You know what My favorite
I showed up late story is Hank.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Can I guess? Can I guess?
Speaker 7 (29:21):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Wait, yeah, Coop wants to play. Just don't give it away.
Just what do you think? Give me a name?
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Well it's I guess It's not as showed up late.
But I was thinking the Elvis Doomerville story. Do you
remember that one?
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Was that the facts thing? Yes?
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Yes, yeah, that's a good one. That's a good one. No,
this showed up late, and I think you guys will
agree with me on this. Gino Smith was playing for
the Jets. They were on the West Coast, I think
they were playing the Chargers, and he didn't show up
to a team meeting. He said he didn't realize there
was a time difference between the East Coast and the
West Coast. I mean, my god, that's West Virginia, Universe
(30:00):
City right there by.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Kid My, guys, it's look great. I think, guys. That
all he's playing in the NFL for years since.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Then and he sucks. But you know there you go,
all right, thank you, Hank, be good and go go away.
There's a hankin in Tokyo chiming in see here any
meaning mind, Let's go to Manuel, a radio calling legend
in Guardina.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
He knows we're all the good sandwiches.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Are Hello, Manuel in Guardia. As it is the World
Series today? Tonight we got Game one of the World Series.
What's going on? Manuel?
Speaker 6 (30:32):
Oh? Benny in the air everywhere? Thank you for the line.
Speaking of lines, I am hiped up like our buddy
Jed who fled at the dope spot with five racks
in his hands, getting ready to do lines. But that's
another call for another day. Uh, Dodgers in five snell.
(30:52):
Zilla's gonna go in tomorrow and do some work the
rotations in tack. I'm loving if, but that's not why
I called Bennie. Do you know why I called? No? No?
Speaker 1 (31:04):
I have no idea. What gambling or something? What happened, Bro.
Speaker 6 (31:09):
That stuff is so wild, Ben. I mean, these guys
are a millionaires and then to be able to mess
with their you know, they're putting their food on their
table and their legacies like this just so stupid.
Speaker 5 (31:26):
Man.
Speaker 6 (31:27):
I worked for a gambler, you know, a little gambling
ring in the nineties, and you see people throw away
their lives. Bro, it's amazing that the NBA. But the NBA,
A man, it's like this. You lay in bed with
the whar you're bound to get STV. That's what's happening
to the NBA. That's what's happening in the MLB. Right
(31:49):
with cloth A doing that craft too, he's been banned
for life. I think. I mean, this ass is getting crazy, Ben,
and I'm here for it. Of the good Fella's reference also,
that's one a for me. I go with the Godfather.
But Good Fellas is right there.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Which which which God? Which Godfather? Which got Manuel? Which God?
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Because most people say Godfather too is their favorite, not
the original Godfather. That's the greatest movie, the greatest mob movies, Godfather.
I'm a good fella's guy like Goodfellows though, so all right,
I think he's gone all right, Manuel in Guardiana.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
Is subjects changed him.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Yeah, yeah, that's Manuel is a legend.
Speaker 6 (32:30):
You know.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
I should not mess with legends. It's bad job by me.
So do we have this audio, Coop? I think I
sent this audio. I believe I did so. Steph and
A Smith, our old morning guy. Stephen A used to
do mornings at Fox Sports Radio. Believe it or not,
he was whacked by ESPN. He came here, did the
morning show and then left and somehow ended up back
at ESPN.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Whatever fund he's making a lot of money. Good for him.
So Steve and A had a hot take.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
He claims that the reason that Chauncey billups the coach
of the Trailblazers and scary Terry Terry Rosier we're dinged
in this federal gambling scandal is because the NBAS woke
and the NBA has taken shots at Trump, and so
this is revenge by President Trump against the NBA. So
(33:15):
the director of the FBI Cash Battel, was on Fox
News last night and he was asked about this, and
I believe we have the audio here, and here's the
FBI's boy.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
How about that? The FBI, responding to Steven A. Smith,
tig listen, yeah.
Speaker 10 (33:33):
Down the street, by the way, this was so wild.
Stephen A. Smith, a sports commentator, suggested that this was
revenge from the president for all the kind of left
wing activism of the NBA.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Your response to that fifteen second.
Speaker 11 (33:48):
I'm the FBI director. I decide which arrested conduct and
which not to conduct. That may be the single dumbest
thing I've ever heard out of anyone in modern history.
And I live most of my time in Washington, DC.
It's right up there with m Adam Shift. We arrest
people for crimes.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
All right, there you go, All right, what did you
really expect him to say? You know what, He's stephen
A's right. We absolutely did that because we hate the
NBA going woke, and of course that was obviously going
to say that. But I thought it was funny. I
just it's wild, you know when you know and I
don't know stephen A that well. You've worked here and
I ran into him a few times. He actually didn't
do the show from LA, but I ran into him
a few times over the years, and it's just kind
(34:25):
of a weird, weird situation.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Anyway, we will have mallor to the third degree.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
We'll get that coming up in a little bit time
now though, for the Insta trivia and here's the ANSW trivia.
Forty nine Ers star Christian McCaffrey can join Adam Feelen
back with the Vikings and Blank as the only players
in NFL history with at least five receptions and one
(34:50):
hundred scrimmage yards in each of their first eight games
of a season in the history of the NFL.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
So Christian McCaffrey the Niners. They played the Texans this weekend.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
McCaffrey can join Adam Feelen with the Vikings back in
twenty eighteen and Blank as the only players in NFL
history with at least five receptions and one hundred scrimmage
yards in each of their first eight games of a season.
That is the tribut the answer. We'll get to it,

And time now, Time now though for the Insta Trivia,
and then we'll get to Mallard of the thirty three
forty nine er Star Christian McCaffrey can join Adam Feeln
who did it with the Vikings in twenty eighteen, and
Blank as the only players in NFL history with at
least five receptions in one hundred scrimmage yards in each
of their first eight games of a season. That is
(37:26):

the Great John Candy, who else? Dina Raja from Shane
in This the point It's all about the poker. Who

(38:11):
stay off the weed? What's wrong with you? Who else
we have page down? Jim Varney, another legend from Andy
and Lino Lakes, Minnesota. Tila Tequila. There's a name I
haven't heard a long time. Yeah, she's forty four today. Wow,
that's from Late Nights Drug Tester. Who else to have
Ferg Dog Pikachu from Ferg Dog, ed ed or Eddie.
(38:35):
I know it's one of them, dudes, he says. Val
and Earl from Milkman Mike in Colorado and Kwon Bolden
guests by econ Roseville, Minnesota. Who else do we have
Looney Tunes guests by somebody? We have Lebron James from
j T the Wingman, Ricky Waters from Johnny Q. I
remember our guy from Germany. He's to call Butch Autobon.
(38:58):
Butch wanted him in the Hall of Fame. The rad
I'm gonna answer the Rada.
Speaker 3 (39:01):
Yeah, I gotta go with the Baba Duke on this one.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
Is it Baba Duke? No, that is not correct.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
It's the priest Priest Holmes with cansa city back in
twenty oh two.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
Priest homes Zupi. It's Mallard. How about that?
Speaker 7 (39:17):
To the third degree, This is one big fan gets
grilled Kooper.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
Dylan Gabriel has been serviceable at best since becoming QB
one in Cleveland. Many fans want the team to consider
Shador after the team's Week nine bye if things go
poorly this Sunday against the Patriots. But is there any
chance of that happening.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
Oh, yeah, there's a chance because Dylan Gabriel is no good.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
But a lot of these stories that are out there
about Shadhar Sanders, it's just clickbait because people have determined
in the media that he's popular because his dad was
a good player and even though he's not that good
apparently because he's not playing for the Cleveland Browns. So
that's number one, and you're just trying to engage, you're
getting engagement farming. Yeah, at some point, Dylan Gabriel, if
he doesn't play better, is going to be replaced.
Speaker 1 (40:02):
That is how this works. He's not very good right now.
Speaker 3 (40:05):
Next an NFL insider reported on Wednesday that the Cowboys
could make multiple moves at the trade deadline. Ben, do
you think Dallas is only a couple pieces on defense
away from being legit contenders.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Yes, if they can get Aiden Hutchinson, I can get
him into trade. And also, I don't know who'll you
give me a great lineback? I mean, yeah, you get
two impact players?
Speaker 1 (40:24):
Sure? Why not? It's not good.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
That's much like we just talked about the quarterback shreder Sanders.
It's not going to It's just trying to get clicks,
is what you're doing. Jerry Jones. I don't believe he's
gonna pull the trigger on any major trades. I just
think this is all chatter and nonsense. But yeah, if
the Cowboys got two impact defensive players, their offense will
be able to score. I have two stud receivers.
Speaker 3 (40:46):
Next, after David Dombrowski's comments about Bryce Harper earlier, if
the Yankees fans and analysts think the former MVP could
be dealt to the Bronx, Ben is that a pipe dream?
Speaker 2 (40:57):
Well, the issue is he's got a no trade class
like a full note trade clause, Bryce Harper so and
he's got a Phillies tattoo, so good luck on that.
He does want more money, So if the Phillies don't
want to redo his contract. Then yeah, he's actually underpaid
by modern baseball standards.
Speaker 1 (41:14):
How did we do koop a loop? Then you pass
this edition that is a win, and I.
Speaker 6 (41:18):
Put it on the phone and I won the game.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
Yet again, I cannot be stopped at maloole third degree
Playball.
Speaker 2 (00:02):

Vikings and the Chargers Vikings guilty of going a wall?
What the heck happened to Kevin O'Connell's Vikings. Also does
Carson Wentz get immunity from criticism because he played through
a barking shoulder injury? And on the Chargers side, have
(00:47):
Jim Harbaugh's Boltz solve their running back dilemma with the
emergence of Kamani Vidal, who look like a little bowling
ball running around their very impressive performance last night against
the MIDI and soa football team also thumbs up or
thumbs down on the Vikings embellishing JJ McCarthy's injury status
to keep him on the bench because they don't trust him.
(01:09):
We'll talk about that as well. Here it is our
number two, a purple Hayes. Welcome in the beginning of
another hour of the Ben Malors Show. We are in

He says, you know, Ben, you're you really need to
let us know about draftings. You're right, Scrooge in the

So I leave this hour from the NFL. We had
an island game the Island Life there now again I
was gonna be at originally, and I'm glad the schedule
changed and we're doing the show from Vegas. Here on
(03:36):
the overnight from the Great Fremont Street Experience in a
secret bunker just down outside. There's a bunch of drunk
people that this smell disgusting that are walking around. But anyway,
we're hanging out here. I was gonna go to Sofi
Stadium to see the game. Carson Wentz was driving the
Purple People Eater's caravan as it rolled into the into
(03:57):
the hood in Inglewood for a little with Justin Herbert
and the Lightning Bolts, and he had Al Michael's there.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Al loves that he lives over in Brentwood. It's so close.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
He just has to stand on the four to five
for a little bit make his way down the four
or five boom right there in Englewood and kirk kurb Street,
who hates it because he doesn't live on the West Coast.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
He has a flyout for it.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
They had the call on the Amazon, so I don't
know you watched it not. Chargers had their throwback uniforms.
That is a sign, by the way, you're getting old.
My first couple of years in radio, I started in
San Diego and those were the uniforms the Chargers war
and now their throwback. Oh my God anyway, justin Herbert
two hundred and twenty seven yards passing and three touchdowns
(04:38):
and the Chargers send the Vikings to the electric Chair
where they blow out with twenty seven point win.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
They won by twenty.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Seven points on Thursday night, ending a skid of three
losses in four games and had knocked them out of
the AFC West catbird seat. They had all those early
wins over AFC West opponents, and now they fall on
hard times. But the Chargers get back into the win
column here an unexpectedly easy win. The Chargers win four
(05:08):
days after being trampled by the Colts in that same ballpark.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
They get destroyed.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Now.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
The better story is in the losing locker room, where
the Vikings have now lost consecutive games for the first
time this season, both coming in a five day span.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
They lost to Philly at.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Home, a game where they had plenty of opportunities, were
able to matriculate the ball down in the red zone
and the offense fizzled in the red zone.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
But certainly not the case here.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
As it was just a debacle from beginning to end.
From Alpha to Omega, the Minnesota offense managed just twelve
first downs that's it.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Twelve.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
I'm told that's not good. Three of eleven on third
down and had the ball for just twenty one minutes.
Oh my god. So that's a good jumping off point.
Let us discuss the question what the heck happened to
Kevin o'condle's Minnesota vikings. So my observations of this, I've
(06:11):
got bootleg vhs, copy, ice cube, and shadows, and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make a very expensive cup from a tiki bar.
Very expensive, very very expensive. Okay, you should not purchase anyway,
(06:34):
Number WO, I said, number W. So in the holiday spirit,
we are a week away from Halloween, Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
I know what happened.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
They came out to La they went to Spirit Halloween,
and they showed up in the wrong damn costume.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
That's what happened.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Instead of the purple people Eater uniforms, they came out
dressed like Gang Green.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
They played like a Jets. You're not the Jets.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Stop playing like the Jet. That was lifeless, that was
aloof that was zero. Just now, as you know, we
do Benny versus the Penny, and we do it every
game every Thursday, night game, and then we have all
the other big games on the weekend.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
We handicap.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
And it's very frustrating when you expect an honest performance,
when you assume that you're going to get effort, because
why why else would you bother watching this? And my
main criticism and people said, well, Carson Wentzon, We'll get
to Carson Wentz because he was terrible, And he said, well,
I'll give him a pass. Brian flores his defense though,
(07:35):
and to me, that's a bigger that is a bigger
thing for the Vikings. Yet the bread and butter of
that squad is the defense. Good defense, bread and button.
They were burnt toast is what they were. The Chargers
converted sixty nine on third down, almost seventy percent on
third down. They had four hundred and nineteen yards of offense,
(07:57):
held the ball for thirty nine freaking minutes.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
That's not defense. That's daycare, is what that.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
And you want arm tackles, check, you want miss tackles,
check check. You want bad pursuit angles check check check.
They looked like they had all gotten together in the
game film they watched a bootleg VHS copy of NFL
films Super Duper football follies is what they watched. Don't
forget also poor coverage, bad pass rush, check check check
(08:27):
check check check check. Justin Herbert, who was running for
his life. I know the Chargers got some guys back,
they didn't get everyone back. Herbert completed seventy two percent
of his passes. He averaged nine point one yards attempt
per attempt, nine point one yards per attempt. Do you
just dow how incompetent, how you just aren't even trying
(08:48):
if you're on defense, if you allow that kind of efficiency.
Kevin O'Connell, the coach, looked lost. Looked like a guy
holding a map trying to read it and it was
upside down. He never turned it the right side I meant.
And there were no adjustments. There was no fire, no
fire from the Viking. I did see a couple of
players get upset because their teammates were not in the
(09:10):
proper position, but the rest of the guys looked like
they had no clue.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
There was zero fight.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
They were like a soft, warm pretzel, which I love,
a sophomore pretzel. I don't want my football team. I
don't want my football team to play like that. And
you can't fake the energy. Well, now we are going
to address the snuffle uffagus in the room, and that
would be Carson Wentz, who also sucked. Wentz horrible numbers.
(09:35):
Just the numbers aren't as bad as he played. Finished
with one hundred and forty four yards, had a touchdown,
an interception, got sacked five times. Now the big headline.
This was featured on the Amazon broadcast. They was talking
point he played through a left shoulder injury that, based
on his body language and his moaning on the field,
he had aggravated it multiple times. Here's Kevin o'conn donnell.
(10:01):
People criticizing O'Connell. You left Wentz in there. You could
have taken him out earlier in the game. You left
him in there. Explain yourself, coach.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
We kept on, you know, checking in maybe getting Max
ready to go. But he you know, you know, Tyler
was coming to me a lot tonight, but every time
he seemed to update me on that. You know, Carson
was uh, you know, he was sore going into it, and.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
He was able.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
He took obviously quite a few hits and and but
he was able to you know, I asked him multiple times,
you know, where he was at, and he he said
he was good and wanted to keep going. I know,
it did seem like he was, you know, in pain
there a couple of times, a few times.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
So the body language was it looked like he was
literally on his deathbed. He appeared like they could bring
in a priest and a rabbi and give him his
last right. So the way Wentz was acting on the field,
here's Carson Wentz. You were hurt, you were playing. You
look like you were about to drop dead on the field.
Explain yourself, Arson Wentz.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Just trying to do everything I can to help this team,
you know, Okay, I think confident, even with the pain,
that I can help, you know, I can contribute and
make plays and spread this ball around. And you know,
I thought we did it okay at times, left left
plenty of things out there. The interception, you know, I
thought I thought maybe we had a little chance to
kind of put something together and go down there, and
I just missed it, you know, And I gotta be
(11:22):
better there. But yeah, at the end of the day,
I feel like I'm physically able to go whether it
hurts or not.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
There's a guy that was what he just said there
completely wrong, all right, so the question does Carson Wentz
get immunity does he get immunity from criticism because he
played through a shoulder that was barking like a dog
the injury. So on my scorecard, I wrote down two
(11:51):
letters and and oh no, no, he was cleared to play.
Carson Wentz, you don't get a gold star near your
name because your shoulder was causing you issues and you played,
and you played horrifically. The reason these historic games is sports.
(12:13):
The Flu game, which I guess was not even the
Flu game with Michael Jordan, the Kobe Bryant version of that.
Those are special games because they played well and they
were battling some kind of what now is called neurovirus.
Back then it was called the flu. Simpler times, simpler times.
I just want to point that out. The neurovirus thing
(12:34):
very annoying. I grew up with the flu. I'm not
ready to call it the neurovirus. I just want to
point that out. Anyway, Carson Wentz's fair game, he is.
He made the charger defense, which looked like wet tissue
paper a couple of days ago against Danny Dimes and
the Colts look like the two thousand ravens. Okay, and
(12:55):
remember it's hurt versus injured. If you're injured, you sit.
If you're hurt, you play and you produce. Went did neither.
He stunk from head to toe, as John Tortorella so
famously said back.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
In the day. So to me, there's no excuse.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
And O'Connell also like, what are you doing, Like open
your eyes? You know Stevie Meatballs is blind and he
could see that this was a disaster, inca terror. Was like,
I'm screaming. I can see this and I can't see anything,
but I know this is bad. Playing through pain does
not make up for playing like a bum.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
It just doesn't. I'll be I'll be the bad guy
all right now. Page two.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
So on the Chargers side, the question must be asked,
if you watched any of this game? The star of
the show, well, Justin Herbert had really sexy stats. The
question being asked by many have Jim Harbaugh's Chargers solve
their running back dilemma with the emergence of Kamani Vidal,
the running back who I had never heard of. I
(13:58):
know he had a good game a couple weeks ago
the Dolphins, But my God, so I'll answer this. The
Chargers clearly think they've unearthed a hidden gem in the
human bowling ball of a back commanding Vidal.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
This guy, it is a redemption story.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
The guy was a Troy Trojan, not a usc Trojan,
a Troy Trojan sixth round pick. He was actually fired
by the Chargers. He was dumped. He was released at
the end of training camp. Back off the scrap heap.
Now suddenly he was running around. He looks like if
you're old enough to remember when Nice Jones Drew, who
(14:37):
had a good career played with Jacksonville mostly Maurice Jones
Drew look like that. It looked like maybe a little
bigger or a smaller, but ways more look good on
a tablet. The stats one hundred and seventeen yards average
five point one yards per rush. Hello, And for those
of you that are blind that don't know what's he
(14:59):
look like. He's built like a keg of beer, Like
if you got a keg of medello.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
That's what it was.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
He's five eight two fifteen five eight two fifteen. He
was running through the vikings like they were traffic cones,
like he was at the combine and he was just
running through. However, I would not advise a ticker tape parade.
Yet you can stop that right now. The Vikings defense
look like it was doing the limbo out there, as
(15:31):
we said, arm tackles to the right, bad angles to
the left, total lollygagging everywhere. And I'm convinced your Babushka
could have averaged four yards to carry against the defensive
effort from the Minnesota Vikings in that game. And so
I will quote the great ambassador of the world ice Cube,
who said it best you better check yourself before you
(15:53):
wreck yourself, that this might be more about Minnesota's matado defense.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Ho eh eh.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Then Vidal becoming the next great running back of our
time I'm pulling for. I always love the bug on
the rug, the little fat running back. Those are always
fun players to watch. They are remember Darren Sproll's long
career in the NFL. Love watching him play, right because
he's so These guys are so small, even though he's
built physically like a beer keg, they're so little. He's
(16:23):
like five eight and Darren Sproles was five to six,
you know, and he appeared to know what he was
doing as far as blocking.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Again, he wasn't even challenged her Vidal.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
But that's how you get on the field in the
NFL if you're a nope, if you can block, especially
for a guy like Jim Harbaugh, and so he fits
that esthetic. He's short, thick, he's got a mean streak
to him, which you kind of have to be. If
you're a six round pick out of Troy, you know
you weren't getting toddled at Ohio State with nil money.
If you're going to Troy, you know, maybe you get
(16:54):
some money for the vending machine. Possibly, But I have
seen this movie before one big game. Remember, I forget
the guys, and I was trying to think when I was
I was coming in here to the studio. There was
a guy for the Patriots, somebody I know. You might
know if you're listening. There was a one hit wonder
for the Patriots in the glory days of the Belichick run.
The guy it was, if I remember correctly, because I
(17:15):
did a monologue about it, I forgot, you know, so
long ago. But he had a monster game against I
want to say the Colts in one of those big
matchups between Tom Brady and I think Peyton Manning was
on the Colts had a huge game, and then we
never heard from him again, and it.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Was like, he's very odd. It was like, what happened?
Where'd that guy go?
Speaker 6 (17:33):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
I forget his name, though I got the Google machine.
I guess I could look that up. But man alive,
it was. It was absolutely crazy. Anyway, So one big
game when we've seen this happen, then three weeks later
we're like, what happened to that guy? So, no, it
doesn't mean the Chargers have solved the Rubik's qbe at
the running back position. However, you certainly want to see
what this guy's got. You want to give him some
(17:56):
more opportunities, and you know, they might have found a
serviceable running back who certainly showed he can feast on
a soft defense. He played well against the Dolphins, as
we said, and so now he does it against the Vikings,
and so we'll see what happens when he plays a
team that's actually engaged and is trying to tackle you
and not use arm tackling. So I wouldn't buy stock yet,
I would keep the confetti in the box. I would
(18:17):
not open the box with the confetti. All right, final
point back to the Vikings we go where doctor David Chow,
a former Chargers team doctor, better known if you're on
social media as the pro Football Doc, and he has
tossed out a mouthwatering conspiracy theory about the Minnesota football
(18:38):
team manipulating the injured list.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Yeah, how crazy is that? You see it? No, he
didn't say, Okay, I'll give you the details on this.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
So doctor Chow says that quarterback JJ McCarthy is hiding
behind a health situation and he didn't play in this game.
Were talking about Carson Wentz went out there and was horrific.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
This was the second week in a row.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
That the Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell had McCarthy as
the emergency third quarterback, meaning that the doctors had cleared
him to play. So question thumbs up or thumbs down
to the Vikings embellishing quarterback JJ McCarthy's injury status to
(19:23):
keep him on the bench and claiming, well, we want
him only when he's one hundred percent. So I'm gonna
go thumbs up on that. You can say, well, that's
not really a conspiracy, it's just gamesmanship, okay, Okay. What
the Vikings are doing with this is they're sending him
to the shadow row. This is classic shadow band stuff.
(19:45):
He's almost ready, but not quite. And it's a beautiful scam.
You got coach Kevin O'Connell looking around thinking, man, I
can squeeze some games out of wins, and I may
be able to win a couple of these things. There's
no need to rush the red shirt rookie back into
the game to be eaten by the Bears and the
of course he beat the Bears, but the Lions the
(20:06):
teams in the division. So instead Minnesota, they said, all right,
we're gonna keep listing McCarthy as an emergency quarterback, even
though the doctors have already medically cleared him. So if
you're healthy enough to be an emergency quarterback, as I
understand it, you're healthy enough to, you know, actually play
in the game. So this is not a medical thing.
(20:27):
This is an incompetence thing. And the coaches don't trust
JJ McCarthy's anyone disagree with that.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
I don't see anyone shaking their head.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
No.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
And O'Connell he's got plausible deniability.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
He can say, wow, we just want the ballplayer to
be one hundred percent. That's all we want.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Well, no one's ever one hundred percent right, and not
certainly not week eight of an NFL season. And the
reality is, and it's the quiet part we're gonna say
out loud. JJ McCarthy was overwhelmed. He wasn't ready early
in the season. Any anyone that knows anything about football
knows he was not prepared to play quarterback in the NFL.
(21:03):
They were, they were upset and people watching him, I
guarantee you people behind the scenes were like, oh my god,
what do we do? So they're stashing him. It is
a timeless strategy in the NFL. Sleight of hand. Sleight
of hand. It is the Ben Mallard Show. Now, if
you would like to be part, we can take your
calls in. Obviously, the big gambling story involving the NBA,
(21:27):
active head coach, active NBA player, both popped after games
and just a wacky, wacky story. So if you want
to comment on that, Chauncey Billips, he's got some explaining
to do and Scary Terry, both of those guys in
a bit of trouble. In a bit of trouble, Take
your calls eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox, Also

you'd like to be part of the program. So it
turns out that it wasn't just an NBA coach, It

by the fags. What if I told you a well
known sportscaster was body slam by the FBI And we've got.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
Just Josh Wright Sin says, how do you how you
feel about people calling the flu of the neurovirus is
how I feel when someone walks into a home and says,
is this the primary suite? No, it's the master bedroom.
Just Josh says, what's wrong with these people? I still
put anchemima on my waffles, and yeah, no, I hear,
(24:43):
I hear you, Josh. The You know, I grew up
with Uncle Ben. I didn't see anything wrong with Uncle Ben.
It was my favorite brand of rice, Uncle Ben's Rice,
and I liked it a lot, and I used to
when I was a kid. I wanted to deserve. I said, Mom,
can I have an Eskimo pie? She said, yes, Ben,
you can have an Eskimo pie. But now I can't
have an Eskimo pie. Screwge right and says why not
keep throwing JJ McCarthy out there. Carson Wentz blows, says Scrooge.
(25:05):
You'd think someone who's been on six teams, six teams
in six years would would be a hint that he stinks.
Even if McCarthy blows, at least he gets the experience
of playing every week. Carson Wentz is a waste of
time for dog right, since says I'd like to call
(25:27):
out Robbie the mutiny fan, for publicly announcing he faded
your pick on Benny versus the penny by betting on
the charges. I'd rather be wrong and go down with
the ship with Ben than be a disloyal snake like Robbie. Well,
that disappoints me. I've met Robbie several times, saw himone
(25:48):
is a native Northwest there in Seattle. We did meet
and greet six years ago in twenty nineteen, and Robbie
showed up and he came to the studio in la
and we hung out together, and I thought he was
a friend, you know, the promise he hangs out with
that that weasel justin in Cincinnati, a little weasel. That's
the problem, all right. Late night Truck Tester says, Yes,
(26:08):
the Vikings didn't show up to win, but the malord
militia knows you will show up to win. Yet another
radio game show on the Minnesota station. Well, we'll see
about that. I was thinking they play this game called
the Initials Game, which is very popular. It's actually a
cool game. I heard it and they asked me if
(26:28):
I wanted to do it, and so.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
I was like, I'll check it out. And I was like, okay,
and this can be.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
A disaster I'm imagining. Let's see here page. Dan Eke
in Roseville, Minnesota says Troy University will retire Kamani Vidoal's number,
just like they did for Jet who Fled and his
number to me, Jet who Fled's the most powerful alumnus
of Troy University.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Thomas says.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
The Patriots player was named Jonas Gray. He ran for
over two hundred yards and then was cut a couple
weeks later for being late.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Yes, yes, that is correct. That's the guy. Didn't he
end up?
Speaker 2 (27:11):
That was back when magazines were still popular. Didn't he
end up like on the cover of Sports Illustrated when
that mattered? Chuck also sent that in, so does Bill.
There's one thing people love more than anything is correcting
the dumb ass on the radio. So thank you for that. Yeah,
j there it is. And alf Alf sent the cover
Jonas Gray on the cover of Sports Illustrated, and he
(27:33):
now everyone's making a mockery of how dumb I am.
I couldn't think of that guy's name, but yeat, Jonas
Gray is a great example, and that guy looks so
freaking good against the Colts and I remember doing a monologue.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
What year was that? I said, I can see the
date on this. Now I gotta get the year.
Speaker 7 (27:50):
LA.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
It doesn't have it on the cover. Oh no, oh
my god, it does have it on the cover.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Holy crap.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Twenty fourteen, eleven year years ago. Oh my god. Wow,
that's a long time. Eleven years ago, Bagel Boy writes,
and he says, Carson Wayne Stunk as a backup here
in Kansas City, who sucks like that?
Speaker 1 (28:14):
He says, all right, we'll go to the phones calling. Yeah,
here's a calling radio show.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Let's say hello, go to the international line, and we're
going to say hello to Hank. Hank is in Tokyo,
Hello Hank. Back to back shows for Hank in Tokyo,
Hello Hank.
Speaker 6 (28:31):
Well I called for the Jonas Gray stole.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
So you told oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know that.
I don't know. It doesn't say anything on my board.
But you want to hang up? You want to hang
up now?
Speaker 6 (28:39):
You know I don't have anything else for you other
than nothing else.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
There's nothing else you want to say.
Speaker 6 (28:46):
I remember the story.
Speaker 9 (28:47):
So he claimed that he left. He used his phone
as his alarm, and he left his phone on the
side table, and he and he got so many chats
and and whatever from friends that the battery died out
and so so his alarm didn't go off, and they
didn't show up the next day for practice, sometimes until
(29:08):
he got cut.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Yeah, that was back when Belichick could do stuff like
that because they had a really good team and he
could just be a complete a hole. Not my favorite
I showed up late story. You know what My favorite
I showed up late story is Hank.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Can I guess? Can I guess?
Speaker 7 (29:21):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Wait, yeah, Coop wants to play. Just don't give it away.
Just what do you think? Give me a name?
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Well it's I guess It's not as showed up late.
But I was thinking the Elvis Doomerville story. Do you
remember that one?
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Was that the facts thing? Yes?
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Yes, yeah, that's a good one. That's a good one. No,
this showed up late, and I think you guys will
agree with me on this. Gino Smith was playing for
the Jets. They were on the West Coast, I think
they were playing the Chargers, and he didn't show up
to a team meeting. He said he didn't realize there
was a time difference between the East Coast and the
West Coast. I mean, my god, that's West Virginia, Universe
(30:00):
City right there by.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Kid My, guys, it's look great. I think, guys. That
all he's playing in the NFL for years since.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Then and he sucks. But you know there you go,
all right, thank you, Hank, be good and go go away.
There's a hankin in Tokyo chiming in see here any
meaning mind, Let's go to Manuel, a radio calling legend
in Guardina.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
He knows we're all the good sandwiches.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Are Hello, Manuel in Guardia. As it is the World
Series today? Tonight we got Game one of the World Series.
What's going on? Manuel?
Speaker 6 (30:32):
Oh? Benny in the air everywhere? Thank you for the line.
Speaking of lines, I am hiped up like our buddy
Jed who fled at the dope spot with five racks
in his hands, getting ready to do lines. But that's
another call for another day. Uh, Dodgers in five snell.
(30:52):
Zilla's gonna go in tomorrow and do some work the
rotations in tack. I'm loving if, but that's not why
I called Bennie. Do you know why I called? No? No?
Speaker 1 (31:04):
I have no idea. What gambling or something? What happened, Bro.
Speaker 6 (31:09):
That stuff is so wild, Ben. I mean, these guys
are a millionaires and then to be able to mess
with their you know, they're putting their food on their
table and their legacies like this just so stupid.
Speaker 5 (31:26):
Man.
Speaker 6 (31:27):
I worked for a gambler, you know, a little gambling
ring in the nineties, and you see people throw away
their lives. Bro, it's amazing that the NBA. But the NBA,
A man, it's like this. You lay in bed with
the whar you're bound to get STV. That's what's happening
to the NBA. That's what's happening in the MLB. Right
(31:49):
with cloth A doing that craft too, he's been banned
for life. I think. I mean, this ass is getting crazy, Ben,
and I'm here for it. Of the good Fella's reference also,
that's one a for me. I go with the Godfather.
But Good Fellas is right there.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Which which which God? Which Godfather? Which got Manuel? Which God?
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Because most people say Godfather too is their favorite, not
the original Godfather. That's the greatest movie, the greatest mob movies, Godfather.
I'm a good fella's guy like Goodfellows though, so all right,
I think he's gone all right, Manuel in Guardiana.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
Is subjects changed him.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Yeah, yeah, that's Manuel is a legend.
Speaker 6 (32:30):
You know.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
I should not mess with legends. It's bad job by me.
So do we have this audio, Coop? I think I
sent this audio. I believe I did so. Steph and
A Smith, our old morning guy. Stephen A used to
do mornings at Fox Sports Radio. Believe it or not,
he was whacked by ESPN. He came here, did the
morning show and then left and somehow ended up back
at ESPN.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Whatever fund he's making a lot of money. Good for him.
So Steve and A had a hot take.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
He claims that the reason that Chauncey billups the coach
of the Trailblazers and scary Terry Terry Rosier we're dinged
in this federal gambling scandal is because the NBAS woke
and the NBA has taken shots at Trump, and so
this is revenge by President Trump against the NBA. So
(33:15):
the director of the FBI Cash Battel, was on Fox
News last night and he was asked about this, and
I believe we have the audio here, and here's the
FBI's boy.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
How about that? The FBI, responding to Steven A. Smith,
tig listen, yeah.
Speaker 10 (33:33):
Down the street, by the way, this was so wild.
Stephen A. Smith, a sports commentator, suggested that this was
revenge from the president for all the kind of left
wing activism of the NBA.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Your response to that fifteen second.
Speaker 11 (33:48):
I'm the FBI director. I decide which arrested conduct and
which not to conduct. That may be the single dumbest
thing I've ever heard out of anyone in modern history.
And I live most of my time in Washington, DC.
It's right up there with m Adam Shift. We arrest
people for crimes.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
All right, there you go, All right, what did you
really expect him to say? You know what, He's stephen
A's right. We absolutely did that because we hate the
NBA going woke, and of course that was obviously going
to say that. But I thought it was funny. I
just it's wild, you know when you know and I
don't know stephen A that well. You've worked here and
I ran into him a few times. He actually didn't
do the show from LA, but I ran into him
a few times over the years, and it's just kind
(34:25):
of a weird, weird situation.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Anyway, we will have mallor to the third degree.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
We'll get that coming up in a little bit time
now though, for the Insta trivia and here's the ANSW trivia.
Forty nine Ers star Christian McCaffrey can join Adam Feelen
back with the Vikings and Blank as the only players
in NFL history with at least five receptions and one
(34:50):
hundred scrimmage yards in each of their first eight games
of a season in the history of the NFL.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
So Christian McCaffrey the Niners. They played the Texans this weekend.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
McCaffrey can join Adam Feelen with the Vikings back in
twenty eighteen and Blank as the only players in NFL

forty nine er Star Christian McCaffrey can join Adam Feeln
who did it with the Vikings in twenty eighteen, and
Blank as the only players in NFL history with at
least five receptions in one hundred scrimmage yards in each
of their first eight games of a season. That is
(37:26):
the Insta Trivia. What is the answer unless see does

guests by Rob in Vegas, theo Epstein in his gorilla
costume from Alf the Alien Opiner, Moe Howard from Donkey
Sausage to the Legend Mo Howard, U looks like he
(37:49):
gained some weight in that one Donkey Sasage Sausage. Gus
the Polka King Polinski from Rob the Goatman, Rest in Peace,
the Great John Candy, who else? Dina Raja from Shane
in This the point It's all about the poker. Who

(38:11):
stay off the weed? What's wrong with you? Who else
we have page down? Jim Varney, another legend from Andy
and Lino Lakes, Minnesota. Tila Tequila. There's a name I
haven't heard a long time. Yeah, she's forty four today. Wow,
that's from Late Nights Drug Tester. Who else to have
Ferg Dog Pikachu from Ferg Dog, ed ed or Eddie.
(38:35):
I know it's one of them, dudes, he says. Val
and Earl from Milkman Mike in Colorado and Kwon Bolden
guests by econ Roseville, Minnesota. Who else do we have
Looney Tunes guests by somebody? We have Lebron James from
j T the Wingman, Ricky Waters from Johnny Q. I
remember our guy from Germany. He's to call Butch Autobon.
(38:58):
Butch wanted him in the Hall of Fame. The rad
I'm gonna answer the Rada.
Speaker 3 (39:01):
Yeah, I gotta go with the Baba Duke on this one.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
Is it Baba Duke? No, that is not correct.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
It's the priest Priest Holmes with cansa city back in
twenty oh two.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
Priest homes Zupi. It's Mallard. How about that?
Speaker 7 (39:17):
To the third degree, This is one big fan gets
grilled Kooper.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
Dylan Gabriel has been serviceable at best since becoming QB
one in Cleveland. Many fans want the team to consider
Shador after the team's Week nine bye if things go
poorly this Sunday against the Patriots. But is there any
chance of that happening.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
Oh, yeah, there's a chance because Dylan Gabriel is no good.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
But a lot of these stories that are out there
about Shadhar Sanders, it's just clickbait because people have determined
in the media that he's popular because his dad was
a good player and even though he's not that good
apparently because he's not playing for the Cleveland Browns. So
that's number one, and you're just trying to engage, you're
getting engagement farming. Yeah, at some point, Dylan Gabriel, if
he doesn't play better, is going to be replaced.
Speaker 1 (40:02):
That is how this works. He's not very good right now.
Speaker 3 (40:05):
Next an NFL insider reported on Wednesday that the Cowboys
could make multiple moves at the trade deadline. Ben, do
you think Dallas is only a couple pieces on defense
away from being legit contenders.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Yes, if they can get Aiden Hutchinson, I can get
him into trade. And also, I don't know who'll you
give me a great lineback? I mean, yeah, you get
two impact players?
Speaker 1 (40:24):
Sure? Why not? It's not good.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
That's much like we just talked about the quarterback shreder Sanders.
It's not going to It's just trying to get clicks,
is what you're doing. Jerry Jones. I don't believe he's
gonna pull the trigger on any major trades. I just
think this is all chatter and nonsense. But yeah, if
the Cowboys got two impact defensive players, their offense will
be able to score. I have two stud receivers.
Speaker 3 (40:46):
Next, after David Dombrowski's comments about Bryce Harper earlier, if
the Yankees fans and analysts think the former MVP could
be dealt to the Bronx, Ben is that a pipe dream?
Speaker 2 (40:57):
Well, the issue is he's got a no trade class
like a full note trade clause, Bryce Harper so and
he's got a Phillies tattoo, so good luck on that.
He does want more money, So if the Phillies don't
want to redo his contract. Then yeah, he's actually underpaid
by modern baseball standards.
Speaker 1 (41:14):
How did we do koop a loop? Then you pass
this edition that is a win, and I.
Speaker 6 (41:18):
Put it on the phone and I won the game.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
Yet again, I cannot be stopped at maloole third degree
