Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Welcome, it's our number two talking football this hour and
the Lions kicking the snot out of the Cowboys. How
do you interpret Jerry Jones and the vote of confidence
he gave Mike McCarthy's job status after the Cowboys get
humiliated at home yet again? How big a loss is
Aiden Hutchinson for the Lions defense? And also, where is

(00:27):
this Calvin Ridley's story headed? He's not happy with the
coaching staff for the Tennessee Titans. We'll talk about that
and more right now here. It is our number two.
It's an old cowboy rodeo with some really bad cowboys. Welcome,
in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Maler Show.

(00:51):
We are in the air everywhere BFFs as we got
you Coast, Sport, of the Border and beyond on the
mast and noisily powerful microphones of FSR open all night,

(01:36):
the weatherman who chimed in earlier, big fan of the
number ten thousand, so or lead. This hour is from
deep in the heart of Texas As Dakota Prescott and
the Cowboys planing a primetime on It's not primetime, it
was a late TV window.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
It was the big game on Fox.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
You had Tom Brady in the booth Football Royaltyer.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
The Cowboys play host to Jared.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Golf and the Lions, a team that was in the
NFC Championship game a year ago against the forty nine.
Is certainly a measuring stick game to find out where
the Cowboys are at this point. They had beaten the
Steelers in the Sunday night game on that game that
was delayed by weather and that fluky late drive where

(02:21):
they scored a touchdown to win the game. So in
terms of this game, Lions and Cowboys, were you engaged?
Were you watching this? Were you when you tuned in?
Were you on the edge of your seat? Probably not.
There was nothing to be on the edge of your
seat over as the much maligned Jared Goff threw for
over three hundred yards three touchdowns his completion streak, ending

(02:45):
on his very first throw of the game, but it
didn't matter. Detroit emasculating Dallas forty seven to nine the final,
good afternoon, good evening, and good night, and the Cowboys
their fourth consecutive blowout loss on the home field. Where
has the magic dust gone for the Dallas Cowboys as

(03:08):
they lose and lose regularly? Inside Jerry's world, the better
story is in that losing locker room. Dallas has now
dropped four straight games in their home palace, and the
pressure mounting on the coaching staff in Dallas, Mike McCarthy,

(03:28):
the embattled head coach who is a lame duck now.
After the game, Jerry Jones was asked by the various
Dallas reporters whether he was considering any kind of a
coaching change. Seemed at this point Dallas would be in
the market for a new head coach, considering they have
a bad head coach right now who's not under contract
pass this year. But Jerry went asked point blank about

(03:51):
this game a rather nonchalant response.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
What did he say?

Speaker 2 (03:56):
He declared that they weren't going to make any changes.
He said, quote, I'm not considering that Jerry Jones stated.
Jones does not seem too concerned about the pathetic state
of the Dallas Cowboys, does not think that changes to
the coaching staff will turn the season around, and so

(04:17):
the rotun Mike McCarthy continues on.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
As Cowboy coach.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
He did, though, Jerry Jones, I loved I'm not making
any change in the coaching staff. But Jerry did, however,
express how disappointed he was with the loss, calling it
both humbling and concerning. Those are adjectives that he used,
humbling and concerning. This is what I want to talk
to you about. The question for the.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
Esteem panel, How do you interpret Jerry.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Jones giving a terse vote of confidence to his head
coach Mike McCarthy, well, at the same time saying that
loss is humbling and concerning, but not endangering the job
status of Mike McCarthy as the Cowboys coach. So I've
got grab bag, pillar and greyhound bus terminal, and we

(05:08):
will combine all of these things together and we're going
to cart you off the field, is what we're going
to do. So no Burrow, Yes, all right, So Jerry Jones,
Happy birthday, Happy birthday, Happy birthday. Yeah, Jerry Jones. What

(05:32):
a thrilling birthday gift. You saw the game, you know
that it was his eighty second birthday. Happy eighty two, Jerry, Congratulations.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
Happy birthday.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
You are older than the average age of doom. You
get to a certain age and your past your expiration day,
Jerry Jones, So congratulations And Jerry, hey, what do you
want for your eighty second birthday? You got the largest
home defeat in the history of your ownership in Dallas

(06:02):
going back to nineteen eighty nine. Never before at a
Cowboy team, no matter how bad they were, lost by
this many points.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
And Mike McCarthy.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
I thought it was extra suite of Mike McCarthy to
get Jerry Jones a nice grab bag. Now what was
in the birthday grab bag for Jerry? He got a
whoope cushion, a whoopie, he got a rubber chicken, and
he got a fake vomit. He got all three of
those things. So I hope you enjoyed that. Jerry, Happy
birthday to you. Four hundred and ninety two yards of

(06:33):
offense for the MotorCity Kitties, forty seven points in this
game in Jerry World, oh and three at home this
season for the first time in team history. You combine
that with the playoff loss to the Packers last wild
card weekend, and they have trailed by twenty or more
points in each of their last four home games. As

(06:56):
the next home games are against the Eagles, who aren't
very good, the Texans who have a good record, and
the Giants, who aren't very good. So that's what's up
ahead for the Dallas Cowboys. Yet Jerry does not want
to pull the trigger on his head coach. Now why
is that? Why does Jerry not want to fire the coach?
At least that's what he's saying publicly. So my belief

(07:20):
is that Jerry is getting bogged down in the details
and the reality is as bad as the Cowboys are.
Jerry somewhere believes, Hey, if we get Micah Parson's back
in a couple of weeks, everything will be okay, Right,
we got other players out with injury, and those guys
are gonna come back. They're not season any injuries, and
then everything will be all right and everything will be
just fine. It would be perfectly back to normal and

(07:42):
everything will be great. Blah blah blah blah blah plus
And this is always the point of demarcation for Jerry.
The business of the Dallas Cowboys is good. The stadium
sold out, the TV ratings are great, the merchandise sales
our next level. So as long as all that stuff's there,
the team actually is good or not, Jerry just tests
to pretend and feign outrage. The fact that Jerry Jones

(08:06):
went out and signed Dakota Prescott to the extension that
he did, and agreed to terms with Ceedee Lamb on
the extension is football mount feasants and it's being proven out.
These guys should have had to have earned their money
by performing in the season, and they got paid. And

(08:26):
this is what you deserve. The Cowboys are getting what
they deserve. Dak Prescott's ineptitude in the playoff did not
warrant that extension. Ceedee Lamb should not have been paid either.
Let him earn the money in big spots. They didn't
earn the money. And this is what you get, and
I hope you enjoy it. I hope you just wallow
in the misery of what the Cowboys are mediocrity in Dallas.

(08:50):
Now furthermore, we go now to the Detroit side of things.
The winning locker room as the Lions are rejoicing a
easy win. However, for a major body blow, body blow,
body blow to the Lions. Here there is their defensive stalwart,
Aiden Hutchinson carted off the field a broken left leg,

(09:13):
his tibia tattered, and he is sack Dak Prescott and
that's it season in ending injury for Aiden Hutchinson as
he has gone. In fact, he stayed behind, had to
have emergency surgery at a Dallas area hospital there. So
on a scale of one to ten, big loss obviously

(09:35):
a massive loss here for the Lions defensively, How big
a loss Aiden Hutchinson for the Lions defense even though
they get the win. Here, Malards scale of concern for
the Lions sands Aiden Hutchinson.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
One to ten. I am at a twenty two on.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
A scale of one to ten. Hutchinson is the the
NFL leader in sachs. He is the leader in impact
plays on defense. He is the pillar of the Detroit
defensive attack. Now, they have some problems in the secondary
of the Lions didn't matter in this particular game, but
they have had some issues in the secondary. But you
know you're gonna get three or four impact plays every

(10:19):
game from Aiden Hutchinson and now you're not gonna get
those three or four plays.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
So it is a pyrrhic victory for the Lions.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
A win in Dallas, pressive win, A wow, that's really neat.
But with the loss of Hutchinson, they inflict so much
of a devastating toll on that defense that it is
tantamount to defeat for the Lions going forward here because
they don't have anybody that I see, unless I'm missing

(10:48):
something here that pops off the depth chart on your
computer that says this guy's gonna be making a lot
of plays for the defense. And now they'll be throwing
a bunch of slop against the wall and see what
sticks here. Just guys like DJ Reader whoever that is,
and Josh Pascal, those type of guys are going to
have the opportunity to step into the aiden Hutchinson shoes.

(11:12):
Good luck on that. And essentially they're porked is what
they are. The other white meat. They're porked the Detroit
Lions here, this is not good. Now, last thing, we
have a malcontent wide receiver. Where have you heard this before?
Dateline Nashville, Tennessee. The Titans somehow, some way made the
Indianapolis Colts, the NFL's worst defense, look like they're all

(11:35):
right and the Titans loss, and wide receiver Calvin Ridley
was spitting mad after the game. Not happy, did not
bite his tongue, did not hold back. Calvin Ridley when
asked about his lack of production in the loss, so
on only seventeen points against the worst defense in football,
the Indianapolis defense, in which he was targeted just.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
Eight times but did not have any catches.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
He had no catches, Well, Calvin Ridley, needless to say,
was a little bit upset.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
Let's go to the audio tape.

Speaker 3 (12:09):
What was kind of off that resulted in targets for
no catches?

Speaker 1 (12:14):
I had targets in the what part of the game?

Speaker 4 (12:16):
In their targets?

Speaker 5 (12:18):
Fourth quarter?

Speaker 1 (12:18):
A lot of them, all.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
Right, Dan, So need them in the beginning of the
game too, then like getting crazy for me.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
So I'm just you know, it is what it is.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
But I gotta get the ball early in the game
so I could be in the game, in here with
the team so I could play well. Also, Okay, so
where are you at? Calvin Ridley laying out his anger
is angst with the game plan of the Tennessee Titans.
So where are you at Calvin Ridley? As he is
not happy?

Speaker 1 (12:51):
All right?

Speaker 2 (12:52):
So to me, this is a greyhound bust terminal situation
where Calvin Ridley's calling out the offensive game plan, He's
calling out everything the coaching staff is doing in Tennessee.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
The team stinks. He's not happy.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
This is heading towards divorce court is where this is
heading here, and Ridley's upset. Tennessee stinks. You look around
and there's a bunch of teams that need help at
the wide receiver position. The Titans don't appear to be
a playoff team this year as they continue to send
out a quarterback who's garbage on a weekly basis. And

(13:27):
that's their play. And so if you're Calvin Ridley, you
ratcheted up the tension. He's like, oh maybe the maybe
a team like the Ravens or a team like the
Buffalo Bills will be like, hey, we want you, or
the Kansas City Chiefs, and Calvin Ridley can end up
in a much better situation than he's in in terms
of big games or playoff games down the line. An

(13:49):
opportunity to start it is the Ben Malor Show. You
want to comment on any of that. You can join

Speaker 2 (14:08):

Speaker 1 (14:11):
Of it all, We'll get to that and we will
do it next.

Later this our Mallard Militia feud will be in our
number four as we work our way through the over
nine hours talking all things football right now, also the
NLCS where all those Mets fans what happened? Oh my god,
the Mets all is a god? Oh my got it

(15:12):
a year the Mets.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
Yeah, not in game one, only one game.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
But you could not have had a worse start to
the National League Championship Series getting beat nine to nothing
by the Dodgers and Jack Flaherty as we began this
hour without the Dallas Cowboy is celebrating Jerry jones eighty
second birthday by giving up almost five hundred yards of
offense and forty seven points in their own stadium, And

(15:41):
for reasons that only Jerry Jones can tell you, they
had to sign dak Prescott. God forbid the enigma that
is dak Prescott had to actually earn his contract because
you and I both know he would not have earned
his contract.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
The guys a bum. The guys a bum.

Speaker 7 (15:59):
I wish you could shut your big yopper.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
It is fascinating to me that the Cowboys tossed another
contract after all the bad big game performances that by
Dakota Prescott, and they still paid him. They still paid him.
It isn't really it's a dumb thing to do, but
they did it. It's got to the phones. Will say
hello to my former legal advisor, Bill in Venice. Hello Bill,

(16:26):
who's now? And he's actually in Korea Town? I think,
Hello Bill?

Speaker 8 (16:32):

Speaker 1 (16:34):

Speaker 8 (16:35):
Ben? What hey?

Hi?

Speaker 9 (16:38):
All right?

Speaker 2 (16:39):
Man?

Speaker 9 (16:39):
I uh, I just wanted to graduate too.

Speaker 5 (16:45):
For over twenty years on the radio.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
Oh well, thank you, Bill. They're kind of you too,
randomly congratulate me.

Speaker 8 (16:55):
I thank you your crew.

Speaker 5 (16:58):
Eddie and Coop and uh the mother falls you got there?

Speaker 1 (17:06):
Yeah, the other po fellas.

Speaker 9 (17:08):
Yeah, I just because I forget what they wanted to say.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
That's oh you didn't.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
You had something you wanted to say. You had an agenda,
There was something on your mind. There was it about
the Dodgers, Dodgers of the year, the NFL.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
What could it be about here?

Speaker 2 (17:24):
What's in the mind of Bill in Venice, who's not
even invest You're you're not even invest But you're known
as Bill and Venice, even though you don't live in
Venice anymore, Right, we still call you Bill in Venice.

Speaker 5 (17:35):
Are you sure I live in Kara?

Speaker 2 (17:38):
I know, but you're known as Bill and Venice. You
can't really go by Bill in Koreatown. But Bill in Venice,
Now that's got a ring to it. Do you miss Venice?
Do you miss the scene in Venice? And that's a
lot different in Koreatown, that is in Venice.

Speaker 9 (17:53):
I just took Gesne to Sara Man yesterday.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
Yeah, everyone says, Oh, here's just Bill. He's back.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
Bill is back, Look at him.

Speaker 9 (18:09):
Are you get to broadcast any Dodger.

Speaker 5 (18:12):
Katins for the Championship Series?

Speaker 2 (18:17):
Well, I'm pretty sure they don't want me to do that.
I don't think I will be doing that. I've not
been invited to do that, so I don't think I
will be. I'll be partaking that, but I'll be watching.

Speaker 1 (18:27):
I'll be checking it out there. Bill, all right, but
you have nothing to say.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
You say you called up, you had something to say,
and somewhere in between the time you called up and
the time you got on the air, you forgot everything
you were gonna say.

Speaker 5 (18:43):
Kids, I'm trying in your words, Okay.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
All right, Well, thank you, Bill, I'm gonna hang up
on you, but thank you. I gotta go away. Call
back if you remember what you wanted to say when
you called up originally?

Speaker 1 (18:56):
Does that ever happen to you, Ben Well, I.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
Forget what I'm about to say a radio show. No,
I've never called the radio show and forgotten what I was.
Sometimes it helps to retrace your steps, Bill said, a
tough life. Bill's had a lot of things going on there.
It's hard for him to retrace the steps there. It
does not have the ability to do that. The cognitive ability.
Bill lives in the moment. He does not want to
go back in time.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
Oh, yes, you gotta have cruts.

Speaker 7 (19:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:21):
Eugene in Chicago rights and he says a question, Mather, would.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
You rather have? Who would you rather have a quarterback?
Kirk Cousins or Dak Prescott.

Speaker 9 (19:31):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (19:31):
The easy answer wuld be none of the above. But
if you put a knife to my.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
Neck, I would take Kirk Cousins over Dak Prescott because
neither one of them I consider to be a big
game quarterback. But Kirk Cousins is a better quarterback overall.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
Than Dak Prescott. And put that in your pipe and smoke.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
Yes, og Rt Puffin says, can we do a special
edition instant of ice Line? The Cowboys feelings are hurt?

Speaker 1 (20:01):
Do it for Jimmy Jones and or Deck.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
Well, we'll consider the Cowboys next hour, Mark in Santa
Monica says the Chargers holding on in Denver showed the
Jim Harbaugh effect. These are the kinds of games they
would lose in the past. By the way, since the
Chargers beat the Broncos, as Coop o Eddie's wife a
pizza or something, I don't think there's any formal best

(20:25):
he was put down there.

Speaker 7 (20:27):
He's more than welcome to buy us a pizza if
he liked.

Speaker 1 (20:29):
But I don't think there was a bet. What do
you think we order a pizza? Nothing on the line there.
You have to pay off the bet.

Speaker 6 (20:36):
I mean, Coop and I didn't even bet on the
Steelers Broncos games, So I'm guessing he wasn't going to
have a bet with my wife.

Speaker 1 (20:42):
Strowge Wright.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
Since says Ben, do you do not put that loser
Floppy on the radio? He will just say that's okay,
we'll be back stronger next season. Well, he's in hiding
right now, Scrooge. I don't have to worry about Floppy.
Floppy from San Diego will not be calling up, and I.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
Don't blame him.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
And the Padres didn't show up and neither did Floppy.
He's not here either, so I don't have to worry
about that. Maybe he'll call up later.

Speaker 1 (21:09):
Who knows. Who knows the odd timing.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
The odd timing that would be the Dallas Cowboys, who
decided to announce that the Thanksgiving halftime show performer the
name of that performer while the team was getting pantsed
publicly against the Detroit Lines. It seemed rather odd that

(21:33):
you would make that announcement. Maybe you want to hold
off on that and wait for a better day. But no,
they had it planned out, and despite the game being
lopsided early in the fourth quarter of a what would
turn out to be a forty seven to nine loss.
This is my nightmare, the Cowboys probably announced that country

(21:55):
music superstar Landy Wilson.

Speaker 1 (21:57):
Will be headlining the show.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
I don't get the whole Does anyone tune in for that?

Speaker 1 (22:05):
Like, I don't. I've never understood that.

Speaker 2 (22:07):
Like, if you're a fan of music and you, like
Laney wasn't, wouldn't you just watch watch videos or whatever
or listen to music without you don't need to watch
the Thanksgiving game.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
I don't get it. I know it's cross promotion.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
I understand that, But are there really losers that are like,
I'm gonna watch I wasn't gonna watch the game, but
I want to watch the halftime show.

Speaker 1 (22:27):
I want to see it, you know, I want to
see this this act at halftime.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
Like, come on, never heard of them? There must be some,
There must be some. But the Cowboys got their sixty
million dollars?

Speaker 1 (22:39):
Are you a fan of? What does she sing?

Speaker 7 (22:42):
That's not the one who sing before the All Star Game?

Speaker 2 (22:44):
Is it?

Speaker 4 (22:45):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (22:45):
I think?

Speaker 6 (22:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (22:46):
It looks like the same one. Is There are there
many Laney Wilson's.

Speaker 7 (22:52):
Yeah, who's d allegedly drunken? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (22:56):
A good one. I don't know.

Speaker 6 (22:57):
I don't know who she is. I just it seem
like it sounded like that was you're.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
Not a fan of lady Wilson. I don't know who
she is, so I guessated the last time that she's
sang though.

Speaker 7 (23:07):
That's what she said?

Speaker 1 (23:08):
Sure about that?

Speaker 7 (23:09):
She just sucks? It's saying I don't know, I.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
Don't I don't think that's the same.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
May maybe all those people saying, see here she's been
formed halftime Thanksgiving? Who was the drunk one? Who is
the drunk one at the MLB All Star. You all
those country music people are they are the same.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
We have our Google fingers working the problem. That was
Ingrid Andress.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
Oh see, man, all those people are the same, those women,
it's all the same.

Speaker 3 (23:43):
But this girl I recognize because because of what there's
a there was a meme going around on social media
where uh how do I phrase this?

Speaker 9 (23:54):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (23:54):
Her ah the junk in her trunk, Yes, disappeared over time.
Oh like she was patting her stats.

Speaker 3 (24:04):
Well no, I think she like lost some way and
it also lost.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
Her a rump or darius. Yes, she just flattered than
a pancake on all sides.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
Interesting, it's unfortunate. I'm also looking here online it says
that she was in a relationship. Here's a name from
the past, duck Hodges. Remember quarterback Duck Hodges see legends. Yes,
former NFL quarterback Devlin duck Hodges.

Speaker 1 (24:32):
Public.

Speaker 2 (24:33):
I don't know if they're still together, but yeah, she's
from Louisiana. So fascinating conversation we're having.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
Well, there you go.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
Landy Wilson will be performing at halftime on Thanksgiving plan
accordingly for the Cowboy Game.

Speaker 4 (24:49):

Fun fact?

Speaker 2 (25:03):
This fun fact courtesy of the fun fact benefactor, Alf
the Alien Old Pineer who said Bill and Venice needs
this fun fact. So chewing gum while studying and then
chewing the same flavor while taking a test will help
you remember what you study. It's the fun factor of
the hour. So if you are chewing gum while you're

(25:23):
studying for something, and then when you take the test,
use the same gum, It'll all come.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
Back to you the exact same piece. So I should
like the same part. You do not have to take
the same you know, take You don't rechew the gum. No,
you take the gum.

Speaker 2 (25:37):
You throw the gum away unless you swallow the gum,
and then it stays in your stomach for eight years.
Is it eight years the gum stays in your stomach
or is it more?

Speaker 1 (25:46):
That's a myth. I don't know about that.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
I heard it when I was a kid, and I'm
never wrong. It must be true, It must be true,
Jeremy says, Laney Wilson is one of the biggest female
country stars currently. Not the same woman as the All
Star Game. Well, we figured that out. It took us
a while to get there, but we figured that out.
Paul wrights In says a Sunday was also legendary in
New York. DJ cousin Bruce Morrow's birthday, cousin Brucey eighty nine.

(26:13):
Who at that radio guy living to be eighty nine?
Louse Simon from old Old Radiohead sixty eight. Jim Rome
today sixty years old for Romi Jim Rome. All right,
well look at that. A lot of random names there,
and he also says Johnny Holiday is eighty seven. Okay,

(26:38):
thank you, Paul. Random radio people's birthdays.

Speaker 1 (26:42):
Always exciting, always exciting. Let's go to the phones.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
We'll sell all to legally blind Christopher, who is up
next on the Ben Mother Show. Hello, legally blind Christopher,
legally blind Christopher. Oh boy, all right, let's sell to
legally blind Christopher.

Speaker 8 (27:01):
Hello, this is this is this is nasty? Or it
is is nasty?

Speaker 2 (27:05):
Now?

Speaker 8 (27:05):
At least I know when I have any issue with
a star performer, I can get a Ben mallor visual description.
This is much better than an audio description. I tell you,
I just can't wait to now know what's coming up
for my Thanksgiving show. You're in Charlotte, But what did.

Speaker 2 (27:22):
You eat turkey for Thanksgiving? Do you eat something exotics?
Not everyone likes turkey for Thanksgiving?

Speaker 8 (27:27):
People prime rib kind of guy.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
I can't go wrong with prime rib.

Speaker 8 (27:31):
No, I'm that's kind of where I'm headed. So that's
where I'm looking. But mister Maller, I have three things
for you. What is eighty two? Dementia and riam played
for two point zero?

Speaker 2 (27:44):
I think those are all things related to the person
that I accidentally put on the air by mistake.

Speaker 8 (27:49):
Now that was your legal guidance. That's why your house
is underwater, mister Maller. But that's another story for thank you.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
You don't need to bring that up. That's in the past,
and then I'm trying to forget about that, I understand.

Speaker 8 (27:59):
But my more important aspect is this is Jerry Jones
future for the Dallas Cowboys. I'm sorry, cow Girls. Oh
that's right. Wait a minutelet me get that straight. Dements
is kicking in. I must be getting closer to his age.
It was a lovely game for me to enjoy because
the fact is Dallas is a joke. They always have been,
they always will be. And if they're like the Lions

(28:21):
for sixty years, you have to advertise for Thanksgiving just
to try and keep the fans coming. So that's why
they're doing it now. My Lions are done for the year.
I have no chance of going into the playoffs, but
that's okay. There's got to be something I can rob
from you, mister Maller, from year old usage of your
favorite team, your Rams. There's got to be something left

(28:42):
that we can steal, I mean trade for, because there's
any chance for us to go on. We need something.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
You don't want anyone from the Rams defense unless Aaron
Donald will come out of retirement and you can get him,
but he's not playing for them. The Rams, they have
a bunch like you. You're legally blind. They have actual
blind defenders trying to tackle on the secondary.

Speaker 8 (29:05):
Then I could probably start.

Speaker 1 (29:07):
What number would you need?

Speaker 8 (29:10):
I'll take double zero?

Speaker 1 (29:11):
Double zero? I thought that was banned. Is that allowed?

Speaker 2 (29:13):
I don't zero's back in the NFL. I don't think
double zero's allowed, but I'll put it.

Speaker 8 (29:17):
In braille, mister Maller and nobody will know the one.

Speaker 1 (29:19):
Oh, that'd be great.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
That's a brilliant idea is put your jersey number in
braille and as long as the Nike logos on it,
that's all they care about.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
They can sell it.

Speaker 8 (29:28):
Well, then maybe I could make enough money to retire.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
Maybe not so Now let me ask you, when you
were watching the Tigers and they're you're watching, you're listening
to the Tigers. But why is this not fair that
that was over the weekend. It was an afternoon game
on Saturday.

Speaker 8 (29:44):
What hold on? Hold on, this is not fair. You
could have had the best picture in baseball, but we
gave you minor league calen instead, and that's what you
won with today.

Speaker 2 (29:53):
But no, oh, you're still better. Jack Flahery shut down
the New York match. I'm told how great the Mets
are by all the Mets suck ups in the media,
how great the Mets lineup is, And then they were
shut down by Jack Clarity.

Speaker 8 (30:07):
The New Jersey Mets, the minor league club.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
What are we talking about, Flushing Mets, the Flushing Metropolitans.

Speaker 8 (30:14):
Oh, that's nasty, that's nasty. You're not gonna go overwhelm
the New York Media. Mister mallow, that's not going to
help you.

Speaker 1 (30:20):
I don't you worry about that. I'm not part of the.

Speaker 8 (30:22):
Point is you. You want to bask me when I'm low,
and I'm trying to give you a compliment of your
Dodgers since it's going to be twenty You called.

Speaker 1 (30:28):
Them a minor league. You call it a minor league situation.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
They went out there and they won with your guy
from your You should be happy, please.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
You're Tiger Tiger trash is Dodger.

Speaker 8 (30:39):
Blue supposed to be there. We weren't even supposed to
be there, mister Maller, and we made it that far.

Speaker 1 (30:44):
You can't even oh, let's don't have that.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
No, No, once you're there, you got to keep going.
You don't know you're there. You don't take a victory
lap once you You should have won that game. You
had the greatest pitcher, the cy young winner on the mound,
a close out game and he gives up a grand salami.

Speaker 8 (31:04):
Come on, mister Maller. I could have hit that pass ball.
I was right down the middle of there.

Speaker 1 (31:08):
You didn't see that. You didn't see that. You don't
know that I.

Speaker 8 (31:12):
Could have hit it. They would have just told me
the swing, it would have happened.

Speaker 1 (31:15):
All right, go away, thank you. All right, it's illegally blind.

Speaker 2 (31:19):
Christopher checking in another pleasant conversation and cranking up the noise.

Speaker 1 (31:25):
Very odd.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
If this were to happen, I would fully support it
as a talk show host, and I'm really looking out
for the show. Bill Belichick rumors heating up Bill Belichick.
Will Jerry Jones pull the trigger and fire his head coach?
They wrote a ton Mike McCarthy, And if he does
fire Mike McCarthy, who's definitely on the hot seat. Does

(31:49):
Bill Belichick a get a phone call from Jerry Jones
and b does Belichick take the head coaching job? Now,
Belichick already has lined up his staff. He'd fire everyone
in Dallas. They'd have Matt Patricia, a rocket scientist, would
be the defensive coordinator, Josh McDaniels would be the offensive coordinator,

(32:10):
Joe Judge would be the special teams coach, and a
bunch of other Bill Belichick suck ups would be on
the coaching staff. And Belichick said to have a wonderful
long term relationship with the Jones family. I still don't
see it during the season. That's one of those things
you see after the season where next year, one final push,

(32:32):
Jerry'll be turning eighty three next football season, Belichick, he's
getting older, his girlfriend is getting younger, and just see
what happens. But rumor's bouncing around. I don't see it
during the season. It is the Ben Malors Show. Time

Speaker 7 (34:59):

Speaker 1 (35:00):
Is it? Michael Vick? Is that the no that is
not correct? And I don't know what that noise is.

Speaker 2 (35:05):

Here we go, Here we go, here we go about that.

Speaker 4 (35:21):
To the third degree? This is one Big Ben gets grilled.

Speaker 3 (35:29):
On a TV appearance over the weekend, Nick Saban made
a passionate plea for college football to add a flopping penalty.
He said coaches take advantage of the injury timeout rule
by instructing players to fake an injury. Now been the
NBA implemented a penalty for this while back. Do you
think it's something that we can see in football?

Speaker 2 (35:44):
I ain't stupid. The flopping penalty in basketball stupid. I
think it's dumb. And if they do it in college football,
and because you're you're not gonna get it right all
the time. Some are clear and obvious, but a lot
of them are not. And there's this gray area and
it's part of the sport of football. It's been there
my entire life, where certain guys are able to fake
injuries and get an extra time out and so deal

(36:05):
with it.

Speaker 1 (36:06):
Next, so many people had vikings.

Speaker 3 (36:08):
Quarterback Sam Donald pegg does a heavy favorite to win
Comeback Player of the Year, but turns out he's not eligible.
The winner needs to have demonstrated resilience in the face
of adversity by overcoming illness, physical injury, or other circumstances
that led him to miss playing time the previous season.
Then do you approve of those parameters or should someone
like Donald be able to win?

Speaker 2 (36:26):
Well, I don't care who wins the Comeback Player of
the Year. All I know is Sam Donald's gonna get
paid a massive amount of money, and that's more important.

Speaker 3 (36:33):
Next, there was a report over the weekend that Devonte
Adams could end up staying with the Raiders after all.
Apparently the Raiders asking prices too high. They're not willing
to pay any of his remaining salary. Do you think
he stays.

Speaker 2 (36:44):
No, No, you don't want to be there. The team
sucks right now, so they'll trade him. And this is
all posturing before the trade. How'd we know PL that
is a win. Woo taking that first win of the
week
