Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom, shaka Laca, it's our nub bird two hour two.
How do you do? You're in our number two on
this Monday, the eighth day of December, and we talk
a little college football. What a story it is? The
playoff field announced? And what did you think of Notre
(00:20):
Dame having a hissy fit turning down a bowl game
because they were not included? They were the first team
out of the college football playoff as they got bumped. Also,
can you explain why the Pittsburgh Pirates are bidding on
Phillies free agent slugger Kyle Schwarber? Yeah, that Kyle Schwarber
who had a gazillion home runs last year? Is there
(00:40):
more than meets the eye? And should Titans and Saints
fans be upset that they won and missed out on
the top pick status for now? Anyway, the Giants would
have the top pick in the NFL draft. The Tennessee
and New Orleans fans are complaining about that. We will
discuss and a whole lot more will not be showboating.
(01:01):
We will just be getting the job done here in
our number two. Well, it turns out there the Golden
Fools domer something like that. There fools gold, what is that?
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
(01:21):
Mallor Show. We are in the air ev reware, justin Jason,
as we give you chef crafted delights every take coast
to coast, border to border and beyond on the vast

bills as we pay the bills here from the world
famous Fox Sports Radio Studios, as approved by the legendary,
the one and only the man, the myth legend Hollering
James from Minneapolis, minnesot who hollers all night long. This

you're nodding your head head? Yes, that's why Hallion and
US Soccer are launching for the Assist, a celebration of
everyday acts of support that help people achieve their goals
with iconic brands like Censinnine, Toms, voltrand Advil and Centrum.
To learn more, go to Halley onassist dot com. And
(02:53):
we begin anew this hour as we yap at the
yapp all night long here from the other the Maine studio,
and our lead is from not the NFL, this hour,
from college football. That's right, college football. Why college football?
We go where the news of the day takes us.
And the Dallas Cowboys of college football are having a
(03:17):
bad day. They're having a bad day. And you just
assumed the position that if it was closed, Notre Dame
was going to get in there, the cash cow of
college football, of course, talking about the college football Playoff,
and the news came out on Sunday that was not
the case. And the athletic director Pete Bavaqua Bavoqua, he
(03:38):
couldn't wanter me found a boat. Pete Bavaqua says that
the football program is an utter disbelief shock after being
left out of the college football Playoff. If you didn't
see this quite the story here, very emotional, very emotional.
The reaction as a result the fighting iverage. Are they
(03:59):
going to be adults, grown ups and go play a
ball game and say, all right, we're gonna win this
game by eighty points and shove it down the throat
of the college football playoff committee? Or are they gonna
quit let's see. Oh, yeah, that's what they're doing there.
We're not playing a ballgame. No no, no, no, no, no, no,
We're not playing. Yeah, they're not gonna participate in the ballgame.
(04:20):
I was so good. God, they look like such idiots. Oh,
I love it. There's embarrassing themselves. No, no, Dame football.
What a joke, What a freaking joke. It's so good.
The Irish had been ranked in the top ten in
every one of these Fugasey College Football Playoff rankings until Sunday,
(04:42):
and then they were placed at number eleven. They were
the first team out Miami, which beat Notre Dame back
in week one. They moved ahead of the Irish in
the final ranking to take the last at large berth
So Notre Dame the bubble popped the Fighting Irish. They're out,
(05:02):
and by not making it this year, Notre Dame lost
out on a four million dollar pay day, which I
think is that that's like tip money. That's what they
pay the pool boy, four million dollars. They lose that money.
So anyway, that's a good jumping off point. Let us
discuss the question, what did you think of the Notre
Dame football program having a hissy fit and turning down
(05:28):
a bowl game because we're not going to the playoffs.
We're not gonna play your little bulgain all right, So
I've got shopping cart, Jimmy Johns, and ring toss, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are gonna have a frosty good time. So number why
(05:55):
I got that Notre Dame. I love this story so
much that note ended up throwing a toddler like meltdown
on Aisle seven because they didn't get the toy they
wanted so good, oh so great college football playoff committee
(06:15):
did not give them the shiny brand nude toy that
they were really hoping to get, and so they just
decided they were gonna lay down and start crying and
embarrass their mom and their dad right in the middle
of Aisle seven, right at the toy store. And this
this wasn't disappointment. This was a hissy fit wrapped in
gold trim, dipped in entitlement and sprinkled with bougie Irish
(06:41):
fairy dust, is what this was. You've got Marcus Freeman,
the coach at Notre Dame, who didn't just open the
door to this modern brain rod. He rolled out the
red carpet and fully embraced it. In fact, he's literally
Marcus Freeman, the fighting ours coach, is cuddling with the
brain rod. It's extra a soft sharman. That's the culture
(07:03):
at its peak, at its peak, and what Notre Dame
is doing here but saying we're not going to the
code bluh blub, We're not gonna play it all. This
is a kin to like the NBA players are running
the All Star Game because they don't give a crap,
or the NFL Pro Bowl, which doesn't even get played
anymore because the NFL players don't give a crap. So
I guess Notre Dame, based on what I was reading,
if I have it right as I understand it, they
(07:24):
were gonna go to the pop Tard Bowl, and I
guess that doesn't mean anything. So why bother showing up.
I don't know about you, but I was raised on
pop tarts. I would love to go to the pop
Tart Bowl.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
I would.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
I would be so happy to get as many pop
tarts as I could put, all the different flavors. Are
you kidding me? I would rather go to the pop
Tart Bowl than some of these other for gaisy bowls
that Notre Dame would have played it. But here's the problem.
I mean, this is I know it's a me problem
not and you'll probably support this because you're like, oh,
you're such a boomer expecting people to show up and
do their job. What's wrong with you?
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Mallor?
Speaker 1 (07:56):
But my point is this, right, it's the modern zeitgeist
of the time, right, boom, there it is, right, And
the Irish they lost head to head to Miami. It
was week one they played headhead. In my life, that's
always the typebreaker, that's always the first typebreaker. All things
are even the first tiebreaker, going back to medieval times.
(08:19):
I'm not talking about that old restaurant that used to
be right, I don't even know they're still around, But
that's how long that goes. And everyone's acting like someone
stole Grandma's silverware because Notre Dame did not get it. No,
I thought they were gonna get in because they're Notre Dame.
They've got the brand, they're big money for college football,
they're national team. I mean, it's like, if you're a Catholic,
(08:40):
you gotta like Notre Dame. If not, people look down
upon you. Right, and yet they didn't get in. But
I go the tiebreaker thing. I have no issue with it.
They played head to head, so it was week one.
Well that counts, it counts. And this athletic, therector, Pete Pavaqua,
is he's no relation to the baseball guy. Right, there's
no way I would doubt it. But anyway, Pepavaqua talking
(09:03):
about being punched in the stomach from all this and police,
come on, now, come on, that's not a gut punch. Okay,
it's not. That's a self inflicted meltdown is what that is.
And you know how real programs handle adversity. It's a
teachable moment, right, you act like an adult. You go
out there and play and you live your life and
(09:24):
you say, screw that, this is our last chance to
play together as a unit. We're gonna go out there
and have a great time, and that's that, and instead
Notre Dames like, ah naw, we're gonna curl up and
we're gonna be like a shopping cart. We're gonna be
like a shopping cart with a wobbly wheel, shaking and
squeaking and veering off course the moment you need it
to go straight, the moment you needed to go straight,
(09:46):
and skipping the bowl. You're not making some kind of
bold statement. You're not. You're announcing the world you're weak.
You're announcing the world you surrender because you're a bunch
of cowards. That's Notre Dame football, that's the fighting Irish.
You planted the surrender flag and you claimed its school pride,
My fat ass at school pride. Come on, it's so stupid.
(10:09):
And there are some that are, of course defending Notre Dame,
because no matter what Notre Dame does, there are people
that will defend them. But that was ridiculous. That was
absolutely redicuous. Right now, speaking ridiculous, we go to baseball.
I was gonna do a rant about Jeff can't getting
into the Hall of Fame. I chose not to do
that because I saw this story. I thought well, this
is even more ridiculous. I never thought Jeff Kent was
a Hall of Famer when he was playing for the
Giants of the Dodgers. He was a Hall of Fame
(10:29):
a hole. How crazy is it, by the way, that
Kent's gonna get into the Hall of Fame and Barry
Bonds is not in the Hall of Fame. Dumb du dumb,
dumb dumb anyway, So the Pirates, a team that Barry
used to play for, the Pirates have not tried to
win pretty much my entire life. So the Pirates have
decided to make a run at a big time free agent.
You see this. The Pirates have made free agent designated
(10:53):
hitter Kyle Schwarber Swarbes a four year offer. According to
a report that went viral on Sunday night behind a
paywall at the Old Gray Lady The Athletic, the offer
is for more than one hundred million dollars for Kyle Schwarber,
who played for the Phillies last couple of years. Question, Hey,
(11:15):
you explain why the dumpster fire that is, the Pittsburgh
Pirates are bidding on Kyle Schwarber. All right, so this
one warms my cockles. I don't even know what to cockles,
but it warms my cockles.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Right.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
The Pirates, who are the baseball equivalent of a broken
vending machine in the very back of a Greyhound station
in El Paso, Texas, suddenly out here tossing nine figures
out to Kyle Schwarber. Please, Right, this is like one
(11:50):
of those bedtime fairy tale type things, right, the little
small market team that could jube. Yeah, except it absolutely
can't and it won't. And every man, woman and child
knows this. It is classic Pirates cosplay is what it is,
all right. They're not eating at Jimmy Johns, but they're
sure enjoying the free smells. They like the smells. You
(12:12):
know what that smells like it they're sniffing around a
big ticket player and they're not actually gonna buy the player. Instead,
they're gonna make sure to let everyone know this is
the we tried offer. We really really tried. We really
wanted the player. We gave it the old college try. Right.
The Pirates are the guy at the bar who's buying
(12:34):
a drink for the hottest supermodel at the bar, right,
the most beautiful woman in the world at the bar,
and the Pirates are buying the drink for knowing full
well she's not leaving with them. She's leaving with the quarterback.
She's not leaving with them. It's performative generosity. And it's
like giving someone a coupon for ten percent off expired yogurt.
Wasn't that nice? Isn't it? Schwarber's agent and you know
(12:56):
they love this, right, and we try to play the
game who the story, Well, this is either the pirates
or Schwarber's agent or both, because it makes the Pirates
look good because they're trying to sign a free agent,
makes schwarburstehem like he's so in demand even these crap
bag teams are trying to get him. Now, whoever leaked
These baseball scribes carry the water for the agents, and
(13:19):
they've been doing this since dial up internet, since AOL.
And suddenly Schwarbur's price, you know, you figure it's going
to get higher and higher. Now, he's never going to
go to a team like Pittsburgh, but the fact that
he could, the fact that the Reds were mentioned last week,
you know, the teams that are usually not bidding on
these players, and so it shows you that's going to
(13:40):
cost more for the teams like the Red Sox and
the Phillies, the good teams that are supposedly in on
Schwarber and Pittsburgh knows they're not going to get him,
but they also know that they can flash this around
as pr Hey, look we're trying. Then we're willing to
spend money. Yeah, we're not your daddy's Pittsburgh Pirates. And
(14:03):
then I'm willing to buy, of course, a yacht. If
someone knocks a few zeros off, I will buy the yacht.
If it's I don't know, free, I'll buy it. I'll
give you a couple of bull give it two bucks
for it? How about that two bucks? They're really trying
to get above the payroll that One of the theories
is the Baseball's hell bent in the next labor negotiation
(14:24):
of having a salary cap floor. And now I'm against
both because I think it's just for gayz you. I've
been through that before. However, the theory is the Pirates
and some of these cheaper teams are going to try
to spend a little more money. That way, when they
go to the negotiating table, they can say, well, look,
the A's signed this guy, the Pirates signed that guy
Tampa Bay and the Marlins signed this guy, and so
(14:45):
they'll try it. They can make that argument the zero chance,
zero chance times a fake effort equals Pirates baseball, right,
the zero chance fake effort. That's the Pirates in a
nuts you all right, final point to the end, NFL
we go now the NFL Draft. We ain't here talking
about the draft. Not a game, not a game. We
(15:07):
ain here talking about draft. Well because of the results
on Sunday with the Tennessee Titans taking down the Cleveland
Browns and the New Orleans Saints up ending Tampa Bay,
both getting upset wins on your NFL weekend, that means
moving on up to a penhouse on the upper east side.
(15:27):
The New York Giants have moved up and they are
at the very top. The Giants are on the clock
and they are in position if they lose out to
have the number one and the pick in the draft,
and the Raiders right now would have the number two
pick in the draft. So the Raiders would be at
number two, which is just perfect for the Raiders. This
(15:51):
is a draft that does not feature an elite level quarterback.
In fact, there are no quarterbacks worthy of being drafted
number one overall, so that means the Raiders probably will
end up with a number one pick. However, the story
here is the crying. There's no crying. Oh yes there is.
Tennessee and New Orleans fans upset. Oh my god, why
did we win the game. Oh, you're messing up my
(16:12):
draft plans. You're messing up my late April plans. What
is wrong with you?
Speaker 4 (16:15):
All?
Speaker 5 (16:16):
Right?
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Question? Should Titans and Saints fans be upset that they
won their team's won games over the weekend and are
now out of top pig status in the NFL draft?
So my response would be to stop it, to zip it,
give me a break. I want to puke in my
(16:36):
mouth when I see this kind of stuff. I want
to puke in my mouth. Enough. That is the junk
food thinking of a franchise addicted to scratcher tickets. Right,
the NFL draft is the biggest carnival hustle going around.
Don't fall forward. It's the guy on the boardwalk telling
you come on up. It's the ring toss, right, it's
(16:58):
easy for you. Just try it. Come on, come on,
do it again. You can do it. You can do it. Watch,
I'll do it. You can do it, and people line
up and their suckers every year. It's a total boon
doggle boone doggle. Living for draft position is a loser mentality.
You don't tank your way to success. You play to
(17:19):
win the game. Thank you very much, Herm Edwards. You
worry about the draft in March, not in week fourteen
of the regular season. Draft picks are a renewable resource.
They regenerate every spring. Like Crabgrass and Tennessee. I'll give
you example of how ridiculous is is. Tennessee had the
number one pick this past year. Right, they got cam
(17:42):
Ward out of Miami and Washington State, and he was
billed as a plug and play player, just right out
of the box. You put them out there and play them.
So they put him out there pretty much right out
of the box. How's that working out? Cam Ward is
the thirty seventh ranked quarterback. More like plug and prey
for the Tennessee Tiitans. How about the Giants? The Giants
(18:03):
last year they needed an edge rusher. They drafted Abduall
Carter out of Penn State at number three. And if
Abduall Carter was a cartoon character, he'd beat Garfield he
loves lasagna and taking naps during team meetings. He does
not like mondays either, And so I believe I go
with the less sneed mantra f them picks, f them picks.
(18:25):
And he wasn't wrong when he said that. You know
it's you obviously have picks every year, but you don't
worry about them in the middle of the NFL season.
My god, it's just I see these reactions like people
are losers.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
You're all just going to lose forever. You're whining about
draft picks, and what's the point? Just why don't even
watch the game? Just wait until the draft? Just say
I'm a fan of football. I only watched the draft.
I only watched the trades in the offseason. I won't
watch the games and just build castles in the sky
and don't worry about watching the games and just hope
they lose every game.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
But don't watch. And that's that. It is the Ben

go and the FSR fact check account writes in says,
as a fan of live reads on sports talk radio,
did your hero he used to send this to the fergdok?
Did your hero? Ben Mallard just mentioned momentum in sports
(22:25):
in a script given to him. The next thing you know,
he will be wishing happy birthday to Alf. It might
be time for a wellness check. Yes, well, I am
a train seal. I do not write the copy. I
add my favorite to the copy. I am. I have
a beach ball. I'm like back in the whole days
(22:46):
they used to have these animal parks, like a SeaWorld
place like that where they had animals performing. I'm the
seal and I can bounce the ball on my head.
I will literally, I'm like Ron Burgundy. I'll read anything
they put in front of me and so, and I
add my flavor to it. I dressed it up a
little bit. I put some spice on it. I let
it marinate for a little bit, and I'll add my
(23:07):
own touch to it. But it does say in the copy,
and I did not write the copy, but the people
the DraftKings. They wrote the copy and they put it
right there in the copy, they said momentum. So the
question should I change that in the copy? I think
I could. I could add to that, or I could
alternate the copy a little bit, add different words other
than momentum.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
I remember during the Kansas City game tonight when we
came back from the second for the second. Oh right,
Ico said momentum.
Speaker 6 (23:34):
They said, oh, momentum, And I was like, you know what,
Mallar says, momentum does not exist.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
What I'm thinking is Turko's working too much. He's doing
all these NBA games, so his his When you don't
know what to say, just toss out these cliches, these
empty platitudes, like momentum because you're lazy and you're not prepared.
And yeah, I heard Tarico. I actually jotted that down.
I'm glad you brought that up because I heard the
same thing. Turco mentioned it like three or four times, momentum,
which is his way. It's like a dog whistle. I'm
(24:05):
not prepared to do this broadcast. I'm out of content.
I'm just gonna go. It's like when John Smoltz in
a playoff game, keeps saying momentum because you have nothing
else to say. It's the same thing. Tom from Fullerton says, Ben,
this is just the beginning, I believe, and expanded college
football playoff will forever de incentivize the just missed the
cut teams to go bowling. What glory is it to
(24:29):
have had be crushing Montana State of the Cheese Its
Bowl when you just missed the college football playoff. Now
I hear what you're saying, Tom, but again, and this
is again my my thing. It's my I blame my parents.
I blame the people that helped raise me that I
was raised a certain way where you know, you don't
get exactly what you want, you still got a job
(24:50):
to do, and you know, if your job's not perfect,
you still got to do the job because you said,
you do your job. And it's the old code of
the West thing which I've ranked it about, which I
should I guess I should stop rating about. I wanted
to talk about the code of the world. I don't understand.
I don't I don't know. Please, yeah, that whole thing. Listen,
I get it, you know, I understand it's not for
(25:11):
everybody and all that. It's just something I try to do,
and I don't do it all the time. You know,
it's the code that you follow. You know, you do
what has to be done, and it's not always a
beautiful thing, right, and you know, you take pride in
your work and you finish what you start. Like if
you're a college football team and you started the season,
(25:32):
you played the whole season, you get an extra game
and you do it. You do it has to be done,
and it's not always fair, but you do it. And
when you make a promise, you keep it. And we
don't live in those times anymore. We live in the
times where it's not fun and it doesn't mean anything.
We're not gonna play and that's just the way it is.
(25:54):
I don't know when that happened. I guess it might
be my generation that raised the kid now that are
doing this. I guess I blame them. It makes sense
my brothers and sisters here for raising kids that are
acting that way. My god, big rig Rob Wrightson says Ben,
I'm pretty sure Kevin Stefanski is trying to get fired
on purpose. Nobody in their right mind takes a quarterback
(26:17):
out who has over three hundred and fifty passing yards
and three touchdowns and one rushing touchdown in the biggest
moment of the game. That guy wants out so bad
he resigned when he called that play. Well, we will
be talking about that big rig. Robin is on my
big board. We're gonna get to that coming up in
a little bit. We will have a complete breakdown on
that play. And you're not far off with your analysis.
(26:38):
You're not far off. If you'd like to comment at
Ben Mahler on X that's at Ben Mahler. Back to
the phones we go, and let's say hello to Danny
de Vito, America's favorite trash man. He is in Boston.
Let me guess he's gonna be complaining about Pete Carroll
kicking a field goal in the final seconds of the
game against the Broncs. Am I correct, Danny? You know,
(27:00):
are you gonna complain about that? No?
Speaker 4 (27:02):
I actually dinna have any action that game. Okay, uh, yeah,
I didn't have any action. But that is a smooth
move by Carols.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
You know, I thought it was great coaching. It is
the first really good coaching move Carrol's made with the Raiders.
Because I happened to have the Raiders plus the point,
So I do want to thank Pete Carroll. Good job
by him.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
There you go in the whole country. I think you
had Denner in that game, obviously with the Raids a
toll bowl, but they had the whole the whole country
was riding them. And I'm here, Ben, I want to
play about the Uh, Chelsea's all. I'm tired of staring
at the guy's fates over there on TV. I want
(27:40):
him to quit. He's done. And uh, I think Bush
McCall's done too. The Colts are done and the Chiefs
are done. They're all all three year old done. And
I had I had. Uh, I'm drawing up Land against
seven our whole for a while here.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
But well, I like that you worked complaining there too, though, Danny.
I like that you kind of subtly worked a complaining there,
which is, you know, I get it, you didn't you
didn't slap it right right across the forehead, but you
just you just kind of work that in there.
Speaker 8 (28:11):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Yeah. It would be fair to say that the Indianapolis Colts,
who had a nice beginning to the season, won a
bunch of games, had a high Faluton offense, they've now
lost three consecutive games, four of five, and they've got
the Seahawks up next in Seattle. That you mark that
down as a loss, so that'll be was that four
in a row and five out of six. Then they
(28:32):
got the Niners, which is you know, that's a that's
a home game. Maybe they win that, who knows, but yeah,
they're pretty much cooked.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
Yeah, Danny Dons is all done so and.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
He was he wasn't playing well anyway, but no one
wants to talk about that. The last couple of weeks
he hadn't played. Bro we turned the ball over.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
He really shake wh about another guy? To Jason Daniels
seesus decades, is he going to be a guy that
fades away?
Speaker 1 (29:03):
It's not looking good right now. I mean it's not
it's not. You know, it's obviously it's a different person,
but it's not looking like he's He's either the leagues
figured him out or there's something else going on. But
that's not the same player we saw last year for
the Washington whatever they're called there, the old red Skates.
But he's not I don't think well, he's definitely he's
(29:28):
definitely built like a stick figure. I mean he's still
I mean he's he's very spindly, spindly.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
Build the meat on him, you know, he's really yeah, yeah, you.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Want to give him like a cheeseburger or something. It's like,
it's like Adam Silver, the NBA commissioner, the same thing.
Very lanky. I don't even know. It's just a bag
of bones. He looks like a bag of bones there,
Jayden Dan and he played terribly against minnesot He got
shut out Washington against the Vikings, he got he got.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
Out class by McCarthey, which is not pretty serious.
Speaker 8 (30:00):
Ben.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
The copy is terrible too.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Well. He wasn't terrible in this game, though, Yeah he was.
It looks like the Commanders that they were so the
Commanders were so deflated, Danny DeVito that they lost that
overtime thriller to the Broncos. They decided to take the
week off against Minnesota, decided they didn't need to play,
and they did take the week off. So I hope
they enjoyed themselves whatever they were doing. My god, how.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
About the how about the snowball? I watched that game, Ben,
you know, I bet that game twice. I bet the
Bengals has started and then when the Bills are losing,
I bet the Bills and I hit both sets.
Speaker 8 (30:32):
I got.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Yeah, that's good. That's hard to do. That's hard. That's
not easy. Yeah, I hit it right, I had. I
had the Bengals, and I was very I was very happy.
I thought I I thought it would be an easy game,
as you know, Danny, because the Bengals were up by
ten points. I thought, Okay, in the fourth quarter, this
is going to be an easy, easy situation. And uh
it turned out to be not quite the easy situation there.
(30:57):
It was a little dicey, but it worked out, so
I'm happy about that. But right, all right, the great
Dandy in video there, checking in from Boston and all
over the NFL. Let's go back to the phones and
we'll say hello to Lucky Tony, who's in the Bay area. Hello,
Lucky Tony, Sorry about your bears, Lucky Tony, sorry about that.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
Following content may be offensive. Hey Ben, what would I
say if Ronick and Wheel was wearing doing orange panties?
Speaker 1 (31:26):

Speaker 7 (31:29):
Thanks Ben?
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Okay, there you go, Lucky Tony. Yes, that's Lucky Tony.
A fan of sports, radio and adult entertainment.
Speaker 5 (31:40):
I Bear.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Yeah, the Bears, Doll Bears, the Bears, the Bears. Let's
say hello to Let's go to Andrey. She's in Berkeley
and she's the astrology insider. A big cosmic weekend. I
was driving around on Friday night, I thought of Andrey.
That giant moon, some kind of ice moon or something
like that, right, beautiful, it was really good look a
(32:02):
good look at moon.
Speaker 8 (32:03):
Yes, it was a full, super cold moon, and the
supermoon means it's closer to the Earth, hence the Lord's size.
So it really was beautiful just seeing it. And they
actually showed it on Sunday Night football that had a
picture of it, so it really was something to behold.
So it was a super full cold moon.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Yeah, it was great. I mean I love Sunday night football.
I was able to go outside and look up and
I saw it. It was beautiful Friday and Saturday obviously
Sunday night too.
Speaker 8 (32:34):
So yes, remember the full moon, it's like a cold
two days before the day of and two days after,
so it really was a sight to behold. And you know,
I was actually thinking of you when I was watching
the you know, the Mahomes game and the Chiefs and
Sunday Night football, and I could relate. He's my Virgo
(32:54):
birthday twin band September seventeenth, different year, of course, he
is nineteen ninety five, but we're both having the similar
Saturn transit, which is, you know, delays and life feels
like an endurance test. And I haven't been able to
call in. I think the last time I called in,
you got it right. I talked about my back injuries
(33:15):
and the dental.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Yeah, you like the things. You're still banged up here.
We gotta get you back. Yeah, what's what's wrong? You
got the back. I know you had some dental problems.
You had that going on.
Speaker 8 (33:25):
Yeah, you're falling apart. It's like, well, you know, Ben
kind of got it right.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Well, you got to put it back together right, and
uh be like humpty dumpy, you fall off the wall.
You put them back together, and you get back up
and you do it again, and then you just kind
of take it easy, be mellow, right, mellow Andrew, everything
will be okay. And that's why they have doctors. They
can put you back together right and gets you back
on the game.
Speaker 8 (33:45):
And the in the game out of retrograde. And it
was just like I could really relate to Patrick Mahomes
because he had you know, like you wrote in your
post on X, it's like kind of lost some magic there,
Magic Mahomes. So it's been a challenge in Pacure of
Saturn in Pisces is opposing his son in Virgo the
Celtical System Bones Knees.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Well, yeah, and I mean it's not for Mahomes, but
Travis Kelcey. I mean you had not only was Taylor
Swift there, but Selena Gomez was there, and you can't
lose it. It's one thing to lose with Taylors, but
Selena Goman is there as well. You can't lose with Bone.
That's a double whammy, is what that is. Two of
the top entertainers in America. I know, you go out
there loose.
Speaker 8 (34:26):
He showed a picture of him meditating, his his eyes closed.
I don't know if you caught that.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
It's like, oh, he's probably planning his next podcast.
Speaker 8 (34:37):
I think Taylor probably taught him that he was trying
to be chill. But it was really a difficult game
from uh, you know what we've grown to expect from
Magic Mahomes with that Saturn transit, you know, delay, not denial,
but the next month looks kind of challenging and that's
not great timing.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
So it's a it's a mess. It is right now
for the chiefs there, Yeah, well, I guess Mahome can
do television during the playoffs and Kelsey can do TV.
They can you know him when the broadcasts on Fox
or CBS or whatever and do the game. So all right,
well listen, First of all, take care of yourself. I'm
glad you called in. I hope you doing all right.
Speaker 8 (35:11):
Oh yes, you know, even if I can't call in,
I'll you know, share your post and I'll write something. No.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
I appreciate that you always support the show. I love
that about you and we support you. So I just
posted on what we need your rounds. So take care
of yourself.
Speaker 8 (35:26):
Okay, thanks so much, fright energy.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
There's our friend Andrea of the Astrology Insider. I know
so many people pulling for Andrew. I know Justin in Cincinnati,
the leader there, and just Josh and Robbie the Mariner
fan and Screwge and so many others. It's very important
that we get her back healthy and good to go,

You know, she's our back WOJE back in the day.

the Zebras. That would be Matt LeFleur, who called out
the referees are upset that there were no holding calls
against Micah Parsons. The lack of holding calls against Michaeh
(36:14):
Parsons of the Green Bay Star defensive player. Lafleur throwing
some shade at the officials, feeling like they're not calling
the game properly because and we have all Here's just
to prove I'm not making this up. Here's Matt Lafleur.
This is something you often see in the NBA if
there's a player like a Star. But I remember when
Shack played for the Lakers years ago, and he would
be games he didn't get any foul shots and oooh,
(36:36):
stay up it away. Here's Matt Lafleur.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Take as you officials, I don't think that their jobs
are easy by any stretch. I think it is a
lot job, but lot, you know, I guess I don't
know what holding is anymore because I thought that was
pretty clear and clear and obvious hold. But I guess
I don't know what that means.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
You're damned if you do your damn if you do,
you call holding all the time. It's a terrible game.
You don't call holding. The coaches bitch and complain. So
there you go. Time out for the Insta trivia. Here

Right toy, they're a coople of Ben.
Speaker 5 (40:03):
The Seattle Seahawks won again this weekend, but before the
game there was a report that the Seahawks could make
a shocking move with Sam Donald after the season. They're
only like tied to him from one season. Do you
think if they don't get to the Super Bowl that
they'll get rid of him?
Speaker 1 (40:19):
Well, he should because you're not gonna win with Sam Donald.
Everyone knows it. He'll you know, he's fine. In the
regular season. He was terrible in the front. He saw
this game coup. He was horrific in the first half,
and then the second half he flipped the switch and
was great. There's absolutely a world where Sam Donald is
not the quarterback of Seattle next season. There's no guarantees
canna be back next.
Speaker 5 (40:39):
Alabama made it into the College Football Playoffs and a
lot of people didn't think they should. They are the
first three lost team to make it. Ben, do you
think they should be in there?
Speaker 1 (40:49):
Well, I'm there for the story. I have a talk
show to do, so they're good for talk radio. So
I like Notre Dame. I would rather see Notre Dame
is good for what I do, so yes.
Speaker 5 (40:57):
Next, John Morant is getting linked to the Miami Heat.
Do you think they'll trade him?
Speaker 1 (41:03):
Okay? So Jahn Moran found trouble in Memphis. Can you
imagine what he will do in Miami? Coop, my god.
He might not even play in the games in Miami.
He has so much to do there. Oh God, how
we do? If you met Jahn Moran in Miami, Oh
my god.
Boom, shaka Laca, it's our nub bird two hour two.
How do you do? You're in our number two on
this Monday, the eighth day of December, and we talk
a little college football. What a story it is? The
playoff field announced? And what did you think of Notre
(00:20):
Dame having a hissy fit turning down a bowl game
because they were not included? They were the first team
out of the college football playoff as they got bumped. Also,
can you explain why the Pittsburgh Pirates are bidding on
Phillies free agent slugger Kyle Schwarber? Yeah, that Kyle Schwarber
who had a gazillion home runs last year? Is there
(00:40):
more than meets the eye? And should Titans and Saints
fans be upset that they won and missed out on
the top pick status for now? Anyway, the Giants would
have the top pick in the NFL draft. The Tennessee
and New Orleans fans are complaining about that. We will
discuss and a whole lot more will not be showboating.
(01:01):
We will just be getting the job done here in
our number two. Well, it turns out there the Golden
Fools domer something like that. There fools gold, what is that?
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
(01:21):
Mallor Show. We are in the air ev reware, justin Jason,
as we give you chef crafted delights every take coast

US Soccer are launching for the Assist, a celebration of
everyday acts of support that help people achieve their goals
with iconic brands like Censinnine, Toms, voltrand Advil and Centrum.
To learn more, go to Halley onassist dot com. And
(02:53):
we begin anew this hour as we yap at the
yapp all night long here from the other the Maine studio,
and our lead is from not the NFL, this hour,
from college football. That's right, college football. Why college football?
We go where the news of the day takes us.
And the Dallas Cowboys of college football are having a
(03:17):
bad day. They're having a bad day. And you just
assumed the position that if it was closed, Notre Dame
was going to get in there, the cash cow of
college football, of course, talking about the college football Playoff,
and the news came out on Sunday that was not
the case. And the athletic director Pete Bavaqua Bavoqua, he
(03:38):
couldn't wanter me found a boat. Pete Bavaqua says that
the football program is an utter disbelief shock after being
left out of the college football Playoff. If you didn't
see this quite the story here, very emotional, very emotional.
The reaction as a result the fighting iverage. Are they
(03:59):
going to be adults, grown ups and go play a
ball game and say, all right, we're gonna win this
game by eighty points and shove it down the throat
of the college football playoff committee? Or are they gonna
quit let's see. Oh, yeah, that's what they're doing there.
We're not playing a ballgame. No no, no, no, no, no, no,
We're not playing. Yeah, they're not gonna participate in the ballgame.
(04:20):
I was so good. God, they look like such idiots. Oh,
I love it. There's embarrassing themselves. No, no, Dame football.
What a joke, What a freaking joke. It's so good.
The Irish had been ranked in the top ten in
every one of these Fugasey College Football Playoff rankings until Sunday,
(04:42):
and then they were placed at number eleven. They were
the first team out Miami, which beat Notre Dame back
in week one. They moved ahead of the Irish in
the final ranking to take the last at large berth
So Notre Dame the bubble popped the Fighting Irish. They're out,
(05:02):
and by not making it this year, Notre Dame lost
out on a four million dollar pay day, which I
think is that that's like tip money. That's what they
pay the pool boy, four million dollars. They lose that money.
So anyway, that's a good jumping off point. Let us
discuss the question, what did you think of the Notre
Dame football program having a hissy fit and turning down
(05:28):
a bowl game because we're not going to the playoffs.
We're not gonna play your little bulgain all right, So
I've got shopping cart, Jimmy Johns, and ring toss, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are gonna have a frosty good time. So number why
(05:55):
I got that Notre Dame. I love this story so
much that note ended up throwing a toddler like meltdown
on Aisle seven because they didn't get the toy they
wanted so good, oh so great college football playoff committee
(06:15):
did not give them the shiny brand nude toy that
they were really hoping to get, and so they just
decided they were gonna lay down and start crying and
embarrass their mom and their dad right in the middle
of Aisle seven, right at the toy store. And this
this wasn't disappointment. This was a hissy fit wrapped in
gold trim, dipped in entitlement and sprinkled with bougie Irish
(06:41):
fairy dust, is what this was. You've got Marcus Freeman,
the coach at Notre Dame, who didn't just open the
door to this modern brain rod. He rolled out the
red carpet and fully embraced it. In fact, he's literally
Marcus Freeman, the fighting ours coach, is cuddling with the
brain rod. It's extra a soft sharman. That's the culture
(07:03):
at its peak, at its peak, and what Notre Dame
is doing here but saying we're not going to the
code bluh blub, We're not gonna play it all. This
is a kin to like the NBA players are running
the All Star Game because they don't give a crap,
or the NFL Pro Bowl, which doesn't even get played
anymore because the NFL players don't give a crap. So
I guess Notre Dame, based on what I was reading,
if I have it right as I understand it, they
(07:24):
were gonna go to the pop Tard Bowl, and I
guess that doesn't mean anything. So why bother showing up.
I don't know about you, but I was raised on
pop tarts. I would love to go to the pop
Tart Bowl.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
I would.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
I would be so happy to get as many pop
tarts as I could put, all the different flavors. Are
you kidding me? I would rather go to the pop
Tart Bowl than some of these other for gaisy bowls
that Notre Dame would have played it. But here's the problem.
I mean, this is I know it's a me problem
not and you'll probably support this because you're like, oh,
you're such a boomer expecting people to show up and
do their job. What's wrong with you?
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Mallor?
Speaker 1 (07:56):
But my point is this, right, it's the modern zeitgeist
of the time, right, boom, there it is, right, And
the Irish they lost head to head to Miami. It
was week one they played headhead. In my life, that's
always the typebreaker, that's always the first typebreaker. All things
are even the first tiebreaker, going back to medieval times.
(08:19):
I'm not talking about that old restaurant that used to
be right, I don't even know they're still around, But
that's how long that goes. And everyone's acting like someone
stole Grandma's silverware because Notre Dame did not get it. No,
I thought they were gonna get in because they're Notre Dame.
They've got the brand, they're big money for college football,
they're national team. I mean, it's like, if you're a Catholic,
(08:40):
you gotta like Notre Dame. If not, people look down
upon you. Right, and yet they didn't get in. But
I go the tiebreaker thing. I have no issue with it.
They played head to head, so it was week one.
Well that counts, it counts. And this athletic, therector, Pete Pavaqua,
is he's no relation to the baseball guy. Right, there's
no way I would doubt it. But anyway, Pepavaqua talking
(09:03):
about being punched in the stomach from all this and police,
come on, now, come on, that's not a gut punch. Okay,
it's not. That's a self inflicted meltdown is what that is.
And you know how real programs handle adversity. It's a
teachable moment, right, you act like an adult. You go
out there and play and you live your life and
(09:24):
you say, screw that, this is our last chance to
play together as a unit. We're gonna go out there
and have a great time, and that's that, and instead
Notre Dames like, ah naw, we're gonna curl up and
we're gonna be like a shopping cart. We're gonna be
like a shopping cart with a wobbly wheel, shaking and
squeaking and veering off course the moment you need it
to go straight, the moment you needed to go straight,
(09:46):
and skipping the bowl. You're not making some kind of
bold statement. You're not. You're announcing the world you're weak.
You're announcing the world you surrender because you're a bunch
of cowards. That's Notre Dame football, that's the fighting Irish.
You planted the surrender flag and you claimed its school pride,
My fat ass at school pride. Come on, it's so stupid.
(10:09):
And there are some that are, of course defending Notre Dame,
because no matter what Notre Dame does, there are people
that will defend them. But that was ridiculous. That was
absolutely redicuous. Right now, speaking ridiculous, we go to baseball.
I was gonna do a rant about Jeff can't getting
into the Hall of Fame. I chose not to do
that because I saw this story. I thought well, this
is even more ridiculous. I never thought Jeff Kent was
a Hall of Famer when he was playing for the
Giants of the Dodgers. He was a Hall of Fame
(10:29):
a hole. How crazy is it, by the way, that
Kent's gonna get into the Hall of Fame and Barry
Bonds is not in the Hall of Fame. Dumb du dumb,
dumb dumb anyway, So the Pirates, a team that Barry
used to play for, the Pirates have not tried to
win pretty much my entire life. So the Pirates have
decided to make a run at a big time free agent.
You see this. The Pirates have made free agent designated
(10:53):
hitter Kyle Schwarber Swarbes a four year offer. According to
a report that went viral on Sunday night behind a
paywall at the Old Gray Lady The Athletic, the offer
is for more than one hundred million dollars for Kyle Schwarber,
who played for the Phillies last couple of years. Question, Hey,
(11:15):
you explain why the dumpster fire that is, the Pittsburgh
Pirates are bidding on Kyle Schwarber. All right, so this
one warms my cockles. I don't even know what to cockles,
but it warms my cockles.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Right.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
The Pirates, who are the baseball equivalent of a broken
vending machine in the very back of a Greyhound station
in El Paso, Texas, suddenly out here tossing nine figures
out to Kyle Schwarber. Please, Right, this is like one
(11:50):
of those bedtime fairy tale type things, right, the little
small market team that could jube. Yeah, except it absolutely
can't and it won't. And every man, woman and child
knows this. It is classic Pirates cosplay is what it is,
all right. They're not eating at Jimmy Johns, but they're
sure enjoying the free smells. They like the smells. You
(12:12):
know what that smells like it they're sniffing around a
big ticket player and they're not actually gonna buy the player. Instead,
they're gonna make sure to let everyone know this is
the we tried offer. We really really tried. We really
wanted the player. We gave it the old college try. Right.
The Pirates are the guy at the bar who's buying
(12:34):
a drink for the hottest supermodel at the bar, right,
the most beautiful woman in the world at the bar,
and the Pirates are buying the drink for knowing full
well she's not leaving with them. She's leaving with the quarterback.
She's not leaving with them. It's performative generosity. And it's
like giving someone a coupon for ten percent off expired yogurt.
Wasn't that nice? Isn't it? Schwarber's agent and you know
(12:56):
they love this, right, and we try to play the
game who the story, Well, this is either the pirates
or Schwarber's agent or both, because it makes the Pirates
look good because they're trying to sign a free agent,
makes schwarburstehem like he's so in demand even these crap
bag teams are trying to get him. Now, whoever leaked
These baseball scribes carry the water for the agents, and
(13:19):
they've been doing this since dial up internet, since AOL.
And suddenly Schwarbur's price, you know, you figure it's going
to get higher and higher. Now, he's never going to
go to a team like Pittsburgh, but the fact that
he could, the fact that the Reds were mentioned last week,
you know, the teams that are usually not bidding on
these players, and so it shows you that's going to
(13:40):
cost more for the teams like the Red Sox and
the Phillies, the good teams that are supposedly in on
Schwarber and Pittsburgh knows they're not going to get him,
but they also know that they can flash this around
as pr Hey, look we're trying. Then we're willing to
spend money. Yeah, we're not your daddy's Pittsburgh Pirates. And
(14:03):
then I'm willing to buy, of course, a yacht. If
someone knocks a few zeros off, I will buy the yacht.
If it's I don't know, free, I'll buy it. I'll
give you a couple of bull give it two bucks
for it? How about that two bucks? They're really trying
to get above the payroll that One of the theories
is the Baseball's hell bent in the next labor negotiation
(14:24):
of having a salary cap floor. And now I'm against
both because I think it's just for gayz you. I've
been through that before. However, the theory is the Pirates
and some of these cheaper teams are going to try
to spend a little more money. That way, when they
go to the negotiating table, they can say, well, look,
the A's signed this guy, the Pirates signed that guy
Tampa Bay and the Marlins signed this guy, and so
(14:45):
they'll try it. They can make that argument the zero chance,
zero chance times a fake effort equals Pirates baseball, right,
the zero chance fake effort. That's the Pirates in a
nuts you all right, final point to the end, NFL
we go now the NFL Draft. We ain't here talking
about the draft. Not a game, not a game. We
(15:07):
ain here talking about draft. Well because of the results
on Sunday with the Tennessee Titans taking down the Cleveland
Browns and the New Orleans Saints up ending Tampa Bay,
both getting upset wins on your NFL weekend, that means
moving on up to a penhouse on the upper east side.
(15:27):
The New York Giants have moved up and they are
at the very top. The Giants are on the clock
and they are in position if they lose out to
have the number one and the pick in the draft,
and the Raiders right now would have the number two
pick in the draft. So the Raiders would be at
number two, which is just perfect for the Raiders. This
(15:51):
is a draft that does not feature an elite level quarterback.
In fact, there are no quarterbacks worthy of being drafted
number one overall, so that means the Raiders probably will
end up with a number one pick. However, the story
here is the crying. There's no crying. Oh yes there is.
Tennessee and New Orleans fans upset. Oh my god, why
did we win the game. Oh, you're messing up my
(16:12):
draft plans. You're messing up my late April plans. What
is wrong with you?
Speaker 4 (16:15):
All?
Speaker 5 (16:16):
Right?
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Question? Should Titans and Saints fans be upset that they
won their team's won games over the weekend and are
now out of top pig status in the NFL draft?
So my response would be to stop it, to zip it,
give me a break. I want to puke in my
(16:36):
mouth when I see this kind of stuff. I want
to puke in my mouth. Enough. That is the junk
food thinking of a franchise addicted to scratcher tickets. Right,
the NFL draft is the biggest carnival hustle going around.
Don't fall forward. It's the guy on the boardwalk telling
you come on up. It's the ring toss, right, it's
(16:58):
easy for you. Just try it. Come on, come on,
do it again. You can do it. You can do it. Watch,
I'll do it. You can do it, and people line
up and their suckers every year. It's a total boon
doggle boone doggle. Living for draft position is a loser mentality.
You don't tank your way to success. You play to
(17:19):
win the game. Thank you very much, Herm Edwards. You
worry about the draft in March, not in week fourteen
of the regular season. Draft picks are a renewable resource.
They regenerate every spring. Like Crabgrass and Tennessee. I'll give
you example of how ridiculous is is. Tennessee had the
number one pick this past year. Right, they got cam
(17:42):
Ward out of Miami and Washington State, and he was
billed as a plug and play player, just right out
of the box. You put them out there and play them.
So they put him out there pretty much right out
of the box. How's that working out? Cam Ward is
the thirty seventh ranked quarterback. More like plug and prey
for the Tennessee Tiitans. How about the Giants? The Giants
(18:03):
last year they needed an edge rusher. They drafted Abduall
Carter out of Penn State at number three. And if
Abduall Carter was a cartoon character, he'd beat Garfield he
loves lasagna and taking naps during team meetings. He does
not like mondays either, And so I believe I go
with the less sneed mantra f them picks, f them picks.
(18:25):
And he wasn't wrong when he said that. You know
it's you obviously have picks every year, but you don't
worry about them in the middle of the NFL season.
My god, it's just I see these reactions like people
are losers.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
You're all just going to lose forever. You're whining about
draft picks, and what's the point? Just why don't even
watch the game? Just wait until the draft? Just say
I'm a fan of football. I only watched the draft.
I only watched the trades in the offseason. I won't
watch the games and just build castles in the sky
and don't worry about watching the games and just hope
they lose every game.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
But don't watch. And that's that. It is the Ben

go and the FSR fact check account writes in says,
as a fan of live reads on sports talk radio,
did your hero he used to send this to the fergdok?
Did your hero? Ben Mallard just mentioned momentum in sports
(22:25):
in a script given to him. The next thing you know,
he will be wishing happy birthday to Alf. It might
be time for a wellness check. Yes, well, I am
a train seal. I do not write the copy. I
add my favorite to the copy. I am. I have
a beach ball. I'm like back in the whole days
(22:46):
they used to have these animal parks, like a SeaWorld
place like that where they had animals performing. I'm the
seal and I can bounce the ball on my head.
I will literally, I'm like Ron Burgundy. I'll read anything
they put in front of me and so, and I
add my flavor to it. I dressed it up a
little bit. I put some spice on it. I let
it marinate for a little bit, and I'll add my
(23:07):
own touch to it. But it does say in the copy,
and I did not write the copy, but the people
the DraftKings. They wrote the copy and they put it
right there in the copy, they said momentum. So the
question should I change that in the copy? I think
I could. I could add to that, or I could
alternate the copy a little bit, add different words other
than momentum.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
I remember during the Kansas City game tonight when we
came back from the second for the second. Oh right,
Ico said momentum.
Speaker 6 (23:34):
They said, oh, momentum, And I was like, you know what,
Mallar says, momentum does not exist.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
What I'm thinking is Turko's working too much. He's doing
all these NBA games, so his his When you don't
know what to say, just toss out these cliches, these
empty platitudes, like momentum because you're lazy and you're not prepared.
And yeah, I heard Tarico. I actually jotted that down.
I'm glad you brought that up because I heard the
same thing. Turco mentioned it like three or four times, momentum,
which is his way. It's like a dog whistle. I'm
(24:05):
not prepared to do this broadcast. I'm out of content.
I'm just gonna go. It's like when John Smoltz in
a playoff game, keeps saying momentum because you have nothing
else to say. It's the same thing. Tom from Fullerton says, Ben,
this is just the beginning, I believe, and expanded college
football playoff will forever de incentivize the just missed the
cut teams to go bowling. What glory is it to
(24:29):
have had be crushing Montana State of the Cheese Its
Bowl when you just missed the college football playoff. Now
I hear what you're saying, Tom, but again, and this
is again my my thing. It's my I blame my parents.
I blame the people that helped raise me that I
was raised a certain way where you know, you don't
get exactly what you want, you still got a job
(24:50):
to do, and you know, if your job's not perfect,
you still got to do the job because you said,
you do your job. And it's the old code of
the West thing which I've ranked it about, which I
should I guess I should stop rating about. I wanted
to talk about the code of the world. I don't understand.
I don't I don't know. Please, yeah, that whole thing. Listen,
I get it, you know, I understand it's not for
(25:11):
everybody and all that. It's just something I try to do,
and I don't do it all the time. You know,
it's the code that you follow. You know, you do
what has to be done, and it's not always a
beautiful thing, right, and you know, you take pride in
your work and you finish what you start. Like if
you're a college football team and you started the season,
(25:32):
you played the whole season, you get an extra game
and you do it. You do it has to be done,
and it's not always fair, but you do it. And
when you make a promise, you keep it. And we
don't live in those times anymore. We live in the
times where it's not fun and it doesn't mean anything.
We're not gonna play and that's just the way it is.
(25:54):
I don't know when that happened. I guess it might
be my generation that raised the kid now that are
doing this. I guess I blame them. It makes sense
my brothers and sisters here for raising kids that are
acting that way. My god, big rig Rob Wrightson says Ben,
I'm pretty sure Kevin Stefanski is trying to get fired
on purpose. Nobody in their right mind takes a quarterback
(26:17):
out who has over three hundred and fifty passing yards
and three touchdowns and one rushing touchdown in the biggest
moment of the game. That guy wants out so bad
he resigned when he called that play. Well, we will
be talking about that big rig. Robin is on my
big board. We're gonna get to that coming up in
a little bit. We will have a complete breakdown on
that play. And you're not far off with your analysis.
(26:38):
You're not far off. If you'd like to comment at
Ben Mahler on X that's at Ben Mahler. Back to
the phones we go, and let's say hello to Danny
de Vito, America's favorite trash man. He is in Boston.
Let me guess he's gonna be complaining about Pete Carroll
kicking a field goal in the final seconds of the
game against the Broncs. Am I correct, Danny? You know,
(27:00):
are you gonna complain about that? No?
Speaker 4 (27:02):
I actually dinna have any action that game. Okay, uh, yeah,
I didn't have any action. But that is a smooth
move by Carols.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
You know, I thought it was great coaching. It is
the first really good coaching move Carrol's made with the Raiders.
Because I happened to have the Raiders plus the point,
So I do want to thank Pete Carroll. Good job
by him.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
There you go in the whole country. I think you
had Denner in that game, obviously with the Raids a
toll bowl, but they had the whole the whole country
was riding them. And I'm here, Ben, I want to
play about the Uh, Chelsea's all. I'm tired of staring
at the guy's fates over there on TV. I want
(27:40):
him to quit. He's done. And uh, I think Bush
McCall's done too. The Colts are done and the Chiefs
are done. They're all all three year old done. And
I had I had. Uh, I'm drawing up Land against
seven our whole for a while here.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
But well, I like that you worked complaining there too, though, Danny.
I like that you kind of subtly worked a complaining there,
which is, you know, I get it, you didn't you
didn't slap it right right across the forehead, but you
just you just kind of work that in there.
Speaker 8 (28:11):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Yeah. It would be fair to say that the Indianapolis Colts,
who had a nice beginning to the season, won a
bunch of games, had a high Faluton offense, they've now
lost three consecutive games, four of five, and they've got
the Seahawks up next in Seattle. That you mark that
down as a loss, so that'll be was that four
in a row and five out of six. Then they
(28:32):
got the Niners, which is you know, that's a that's
a home game. Maybe they win that, who knows, but yeah,
they're pretty much cooked.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
Yeah, Danny Dons is all done so and.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
He was he wasn't playing well anyway, but no one
wants to talk about that. The last couple of weeks
he hadn't played. Bro we turned the ball over.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
He really shake wh about another guy? To Jason Daniels
seesus decades, is he going to be a guy that
fades away?
Speaker 1 (29:03):
It's not looking good right now. I mean it's not
it's not. You know, it's obviously it's a different person,
but it's not looking like he's He's either the leagues
figured him out or there's something else going on. But
that's not the same player we saw last year for
the Washington whatever they're called there, the old red Skates.
But he's not I don't think well, he's definitely he's
(29:28):
definitely built like a stick figure. I mean he's still
I mean he's he's very spindly, spindly.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
Build the meat on him, you know, he's really yeah, yeah, you.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Want to give him like a cheeseburger or something. It's like,
it's like Adam Silver, the NBA commissioner, the same thing.
Very lanky. I don't even know. It's just a bag
of bones. He looks like a bag of bones there,
Jayden Dan and he played terribly against minnesot He got
shut out Washington against the Vikings, he got he got.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
Out class by McCarthey, which is not pretty serious.
Speaker 8 (30:00):
Ben.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
The copy is terrible too.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Well. He wasn't terrible in this game, though, Yeah he was.
It looks like the Commanders that they were so the
Commanders were so deflated, Danny DeVito that they lost that
overtime thriller to the Broncos. They decided to take the
week off against Minnesota, decided they didn't need to play,
and they did take the week off. So I hope
they enjoyed themselves whatever they were doing. My god, how.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
About the how about the snowball? I watched that game, Ben,
you know, I bet that game twice. I bet the
Bengals has started and then when the Bills are losing,
I bet the Bills and I hit both sets.
Speaker 8 (30:32):
I got.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Yeah, that's good. That's hard to do. That's hard. That's
not easy. Yeah, I hit it right, I had. I
had the Bengals, and I was very I was very happy.
I thought I I thought it would be an easy game,
as you know, Danny, because the Bengals were up by
ten points. I thought, Okay, in the fourth quarter, this
is going to be an easy, easy situation. And uh
it turned out to be not quite the easy situation there.
(30:57):
It was a little dicey, but it worked out, so
I'm happy about that. But right, all right, the great
Dandy in video there, checking in from Boston and all
over the NFL. Let's go back to the phones and
we'll say hello to Lucky Tony, who's in the Bay area. Hello,
Lucky Tony, Sorry about your bears, Lucky Tony, sorry about that.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
Following content may be offensive. Hey Ben, what would I
say if Ronick and Wheel was wearing doing orange panties?
Speaker 1 (31:26):
I don't know, beare down?
Speaker 7 (31:29):
Thanks Ben?
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Okay, there you go, Lucky Tony. Yes, that's Lucky Tony.
A fan of sports, radio and adult entertainment.
Speaker 5 (31:40):
I Bear.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Yeah, the Bears, Doll Bears, the Bears, the Bears. Let's
say hello to Let's go to Andrey. She's in Berkeley
and she's the astrology insider. A big cosmic weekend. I
was driving around on Friday night, I thought of Andrey.
That giant moon, some kind of ice moon or something
like that, right, beautiful, it was really good look a
(32:02):
good look at moon.
Speaker 8 (32:03):
Yes, it was a full, super cold moon, and the
supermoon means it's closer to the Earth, hence the Lord's size.
So it really was beautiful just seeing it. And they
actually showed it on Sunday Night football that had a
picture of it, so it really was something to behold.
So it was a super full cold moon.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Yeah, it was great. I mean I love Sunday night football.
I was able to go outside and look up and
I saw it. It was beautiful Friday and Saturday obviously
Sunday night too.
Speaker 8 (32:34):
So yes, remember the full moon, it's like a cold
two days before the day of and two days after,
so it really was a sight to behold. And you know,
I was actually thinking of you when I was watching
the you know, the Mahomes game and the Chiefs and
Sunday Night football, and I could relate. He's my Virgo
(32:54):
birthday twin band September seventeenth, different year, of course, he
is nineteen ninety five, but we're both having the similar
Saturn transit, which is, you know, delays and life feels
like an endurance test. And I haven't been able to
call in. I think the last time I called in,
you got it right. I talked about my back injuries
(33:15):
and the dental.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Yeah, you like the things. You're still banged up here.
We gotta get you back. Yeah, what's what's wrong? You
got the back. I know you had some dental problems.
You had that going on.
Speaker 8 (33:25):
Yeah, you're falling apart. It's like, well, you know, Ben
kind of got it right.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Well, you got to put it back together right, and
uh be like humpty dumpy, you fall off the wall.
You put them back together, and you get back up
and you do it again, and then you just kind
of take it easy, be mellow, right, mellow Andrew, everything
will be okay. And that's why they have doctors. They
can put you back together right and gets you back
on the game.
Speaker 8 (33:45):
And the in the game out of retrograde. And it
was just like I could really relate to Patrick Mahomes
because he had you know, like you wrote in your
post on X, it's like kind of lost some magic there,
Magic Mahomes. So it's been a challenge in Pacure of
Saturn in Pisces is opposing his son in Virgo the
Celtical System Bones Knees.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Well, yeah, and I mean it's not for Mahomes, but
Travis Kelcey. I mean you had not only was Taylor
Swift there, but Selena Gomez was there, and you can't
lose it. It's one thing to lose with Taylors, but
Selena Goman is there as well. You can't lose with Bone.
That's a double whammy, is what that is. Two of
the top entertainers in America. I know, you go out
there loose.
Speaker 8 (34:26):
He showed a picture of him meditating, his his eyes closed.
I don't know if you caught that.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
It's like, oh, he's probably planning his next podcast.
Speaker 8 (34:37):
I think Taylor probably taught him that he was trying
to be chill. But it was really a difficult game
from uh, you know what we've grown to expect from
Magic Mahomes with that Saturn transit, you know, delay, not denial,
but the next month looks kind of challenging and that's
not great timing.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
So it's a it's a mess. It is right now
for the chiefs there, Yeah, well, I guess Mahome can
do television during the playoffs and Kelsey can do TV.
They can you know him when the broadcasts on Fox
or CBS or whatever and do the game. So all right,
well listen, First of all, take care of yourself. I'm
glad you called in. I hope you doing all right.
Speaker 8 (35:11):
Oh yes, you know, even if I can't call in,
I'll you know, share your post and I'll write something. No.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
I appreciate that you always support the show. I love
that about you and we support you. So I just
posted on what we need your rounds. So take care
of yourself.
Speaker 8 (35:26):
Okay, thanks so much, fright energy.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
There's our friend Andrea of the Astrology Insider. I know
so many people pulling for Andrew. I know Justin in Cincinnati,
the leader there, and just Josh and Robbie the Mariner
fan and Screwge and so many others. It's very important
that we get her back healthy and good to go,
because whenever there's astrology news that breaks, she's our go
(35:51):
to woman. She's our insider, she's our Jay Glazer, Adam Schefter.
You know, she's our back WOJE back in the day.
I guess Shams is the new insider guy. So lobbying
the Zebras. That would be Matt LeFleur, who called out
the referees are upset that there were no holding calls
against Micah Parsons. The lack of holding calls against Michaeh
(36:14):
Parsons of the Green Bay Star defensive player. Lafleur throwing
some shade at the officials, feeling like they're not calling
the game properly because and we have all Here's just
to prove I'm not making this up. Here's Matt Lafleur.
This is something you often see in the NBA if
there's a player like a Star. But I remember when
Shack played for the Lakers years ago, and he would
be games he didn't get any foul shots and oooh,
(36:36):
stay up it away. Here's Matt Lafleur.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Take as you officials, I don't think that their jobs
are easy by any stretch. I think it is a
lot job, but lot, you know, I guess I don't
know what holding is anymore because I thought that was
pretty clear and clear and obvious hold. But I guess
I don't know what that means.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
You're damned if you do your damn if you do,
you call holding all the time. It's a terrible game.
You don't call holding. The coaches bitch and complain. So
there you go. Time out for the Insta trivia. Here
we go. Broncos tight end Evan Ingram, who has forty
this year, joins blank is the only tight end all time,
only tight ends all time with at least forty receptions
each of their first nine career seasons. That's the instat
