Speaker 2 (02:43):
Yours, so our lead this hour from South Florida, double barrel.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Action on a Monday night.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
We talked last hour about the no show ben Gals,
the toothless Tigers from Cincinnati that did not show up
in Denver.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Easy win for the team from.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Colorado in South Florida the early game. If you didn't
see this, it was not appointment viewing by any means.
You had the Miami Dolphins oh and three against their
bitter rivals, the New York Jets also oh and three
Jets the road team, and how did this game go?
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Well, you had Darren Waller. I didn't even know he
was alive.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Darren Waller, not Malard Waller, Darren Waller back in the NFL.
And he had not one, but two touchdowns. A feel
good moment there that was featured on the broadcast. Darren
Waller two touchdown catches in his first NFL game in
nearly two years because he quit the NFL. So you
don't really play NFL games when you quit. To a
(03:46):
tongue of Iloa. Did not have a sexy stat line.
He had less than two hundred yards passing, finished with
one hundred and seventy seven yards to lead the Dolphins
to the win game that really wasn't all that close.
The final score was a six point spread, but the
game was in control by Miami for most of it.
Twenty seven to twenty one was the final. Miami now
(04:08):
one to three. However, they did lose their franchise wide
receiver Tyreek Hill. Snap crackle pop to Tyreek Hill as
he is down for the count. There a season ending injury.
Early reports dislocated knee. He's in a hospital right now.
More on that in a minute. The better story, though,
(04:28):
is in the losing locker room as the New York Jets.
They are one of three teams in the NFL that
have not won a game. You've got the Saints, the Titans,
and the Jets. That's it, that's all. Those are the
only teams that have not won a game. Now, Justin
Fields the in battled QB Number one for the Jets
(04:49):
here is we have some postgames out. Here's Justin Field's
commenting on the state of the Jets.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Tigalas I tell the guys after the game, I'm not losing, Frank.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
We have a thirteen games guaranteed, so we can go
on a run here, and I'm just keep going and
keep working and just keep going. Like it's early in
the season. It's four games, and of course we want
to better start than that. But like I said, if
we keep working, we know the team that we can
be if we, you know, just eliminate the penalties, eliminate
the turnovers and get it going.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
So we just eliminate all the bad things that we're doing,
we'll be okay.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Okay, very very easy.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Now the quote, I guess we don't have it, but
the quote that I want to feature here from the
post game from Justin Fields, he said, quote it's very frustrating,
but I'm not losing faith. Field said, Nobody in the
locker room is losing faith. All we're going to do
is keep our heads down and work.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Close. Quote that was from Justin Fields, also in the
post game.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
So let us discuss the question quarterback Justin Fields saying
that nobody in the locker room has lost faith and
they're just gonna keep their head down and keep working.
So how does that one hit you? How does that
one hit you? So on this one, I've got Ashtray,
Mickey D's and roadside Barbecue. Pitt and we'll combine all
(06:17):
of these things together and we are gonna make your
Babushka's favorite corn beef.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
That's what we're gonna make.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
So number one, number one was here in the back
of the room.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Number one. Stop. So you know what this sounds like
to me? Let me tell you.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
If you're reading my mind, stop, it's not much in there.
But here's what this sounds like to me. Remember that
commercial a few years ago from Larry David. It was
for a crypto scam and it was played during the
Super Bowl and in.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
The in the commercial, you know, everyone was.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Like singing the praises and he's like, eh, I don't
think so. That's my position on Justin Field's talking about
the faith of the Jets. Eh I don't think so.
This isn't church on Sunday. It's a football stadium you're
going to on Sunday and plausibly Monday night there in
the NFL, and last I checked, it was a results
(07:12):
based business. And how's that working out? So you are
what your record says you are. We all agree on
that you are what your record says you are. And
right now the Jets have played four games lost loss
lost loss, that is not faith. That is futility is
what that is. They're doing the mediocrity mambo. Mediocrity mambo
(07:34):
is what they're doing right there. And so you get
the boom box all cranked up and on the whole
roster is out there. They're boogie on the dance floor
and they actually move better on the dance floor they
do the football field. It is a boon doggle. This
is a boone doggle for the Jets right now. And
the whole faith thing again is not working out at
(07:56):
Florham Park very much. Maybe they try something else. Mayb
they can try to being agnostic. Maybe that'll work justin fields. Well,
we're just gonna be agnostic, is what we're going The
whole team's agnostic.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
That's where we're going to be.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Because belief clearly, clearly is not helping you get wins
getting your losses. How about this, instead of being agnostic,
how about you turn to holistic medicine.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Anybody say no, come on, all right, give it a shot.
Why not?
Speaker 2 (08:24):
I can get an ashtray, get some sage and then
you walk around the locker room, you burn the sage
and then you put the thing in the ashtray and
the smoke just kind of lofts through the building.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
That boom done. Get all that stank from the Jets
out of the building. Here. And Justin Fields, who is
the quarterback version of a drifter.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
We all agree on that. I don't see anyone disagree.
He's the quarterback version of a drifter.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Now there are a very small percentage of people that
think he's good. I don't know how many of those
people are real people who've actually watched him play, because
anybody's watched Justin Field's knows not so good, not so good.
So he was in Chicago. They kicked his ass out
of Chicago because they realized this guy's.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Not our forever quarterback. He sucks.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Went to Pittsburgh, played a lot because Russell Wilson got hurt,
and then when Russ came back, they did not allow
Justin Fields back on the field. And then when they
had to get a quarterback for this year, they said,
you know what, We're gonna rather go with the guy
that likes drinking ayahuasca Aaron Rodgers and is like Joe
Rogan's buddy, an old guy.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
We don't want you so then he ends up with
the Jets now and now he's on a Kamakazi mission
with the Jets, and so where's he going to go next? Podcasting?
That's his next team. We'll be doing a cheesy jock podcast.
That's what he'll be doing here, Jets Talk with Justin
Absolutely yeah, sponsored by some sketchy energy drink or whatever.
(09:55):
There's some NFT operation and why not man alive all
right now, turning the page here, but we stay with
the Jets because the losing story is the better story.
So that the talking heads were rallying around, circling the
wagons in support.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Of Aaron Glenn, the.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Head coach of the Jets. Before I get in this,
I wanted to play some sound. We have Aaron Glenn
post game, and here's Aaron Glenn commenting on the state
of the Jets from his perspective as the coach.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
I thought I got played with effort, listen.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
I thought our guys understood the ramifications of this game,
but meant to go off there and have that many
penalties and really preasing that penalties and turned the ball over.
I mean that was so disappointed this game. Well, listen,
I'm not losing hoping.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Our guys at all.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
No, And I'm telling you now.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
We just got to go back to work. That's all
we can do. That's all we can do.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Yes, you're not losing hope. You are losing games a
lot of games because you suck. But nonetheless, I mentioned this,
a lot of the media love Aaron Glenn, and I've
heard from people that are in that world that Aaron
Glenn is a very loquacious man. He's a debonair man.
He's a kind of guy you want to hang out
with and just makes you feel good. And it's a
(11:14):
lot of coaching is that, Like you have to motivate
young people. So generally, those that are able to do.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
That, the media likes them and they make, you know,
everyone feel good.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
So Lewis Riddick, who was doing the game on Monday,
but could we get a mute button on dan Orlofsky
and just let Riddick talk My got or Loftski is
so freaking bad, Holy crap, It's almost like he's still
playing quarterback for the Lions.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
He's that bad. Anyway, So Lewis Riddick, who's not bad.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
He was rhapsodizing on TV and singing the praises the
virtues of Aaron Glenn claimed that at oh and four,
this is a great line. He said, even though the
Jets are owing for they're still headed in the right direction.
That's like in my business getting a zero point zero
(12:04):
rating and said, wow, we're still We're really headed in
the right director. We had one listener, I mean we
will man anyway, So Riddick went on to say that
Aaron Glenn is going to really implement a culture of accountability.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
YadA, YadA, YadA. Now, I added on, Just for the record,
I added on, YadA, YadA, YadA. That was mine.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
That was not Aaron Glenn, that was not Lewis Riddick.
I added on, YadA, YadA, YadA. That's my addition to
the sound bite. So question, this is a checkpoint. This
is a checkpoint in the NFL season. Four weeks is
generally where you stop and do inventory. Four weeks in.
The bye weeks start in the NFL in week five.
(12:44):
So not everyone's gonna be playing in week five, but
everyone played the first four weeks of the NFL season.
So the checkpoint on the calendar four games in, you've
lost all four. What are your early impressions of the
new Jets coach, Aaron.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Glenn four games in to his run. Here.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
So Aaron Glenn, and I'm not sure how he got this,
but he did. He was able to take the blueprint
for the Jets and keep that in place, the outline,
the sketch of what the Jets are, and he kept
that in place. Imagine, if you will, if Aaron Glenn
(13:22):
were doing a bad job, what Lewis Riddick would be
saying about Aaron Glenn, right, how would that look there?
Now you can swap out the coach. This is a
great thing about the Jets. I've been doing this job
for a long time. You can swap out the coach
of the Jets. And you can swap out the quarterback
of the Jets. You can swap out the general manager.
You can turn over half the roster. It doesn't matter.
(13:44):
It doesn't The Jets are AOL dial up. Their AOL
dial up in a fiber optic world. That is what
the Jets are. Everyone else is streaming four K maybe
outside the Saints and the Titans, but everyone else. Right,
they got their YouTube TV. They're on Ben Maler Show
and Benny Vspenny on YouTube. They're on that, and then
(14:06):
the Jets they're waiting forty five seconds to connect while
the thing's going just like that. Modem noise they're hearing.
Modem noise is what they're hearing. Now. It's the same
outdated service the Jets have every single year. And at
this point it's just hilarious. Like the Jets fire a coach,
(14:31):
they do a national search, they talk to all the
smartest people in football. We want the top young coordinat
because it's always a starter job, right, it's always a start.
The Jets fans think they're getting this high speed success
with whoever the new coach is, and yet they're stuck
in like nineteen ninety nine. It's like, well, that's twenty
six years ago. What but I know, but they're stuck
(14:52):
that I can't get out of it.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
It's like weird. It's like a time warp thing.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
It's like the Twilight Zone meets the Matrix and they
don't know how to get out of it and all
that stuff. And yeah, and by the time they connect,
by the time everything connects there, the rest of the
league has already lapped them, not once, not twice, how
about three times? How about three times? Right, that's the
brand I've learned that I saw passing in the hallways
(15:17):
here near the nineteen eighty seven vending machine that we
have down the hall here, I saw Jason Smith getting
a snack at the vending machine. I said, Man, Jason,
it's been like thirty years longer than that. They said,
they're referring to his fandom with the Jets and how
pathetic they are. But it's really impressive that every coaching cycle,
when they change coaches, that they go out there, as
(15:40):
we said, and they talked to all the top minds
in football, and whether it's Peyton Manning recommending Adam Gase
crazy eyes or Robert Salad the Darling, remember the Robert
Salad Darling of the NFL media for the forty nine
ers as defensive coordinator. Now Aaron Glenn the flavor of
the month, whoever it is, it does not matter. They
(16:00):
all have this in common. There's a common denominator. The
common denominator is consistency of suck. Consistency of suck. It's
like going to McDonald's. Now.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
The great thing about.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Mickey D's is it doesn't matter where you are the
secret of the success of McDonald's is that you can
get a big Mac in Trinidad and Tobago, and that
big mac is going to taste the same as if
you are in Shehr Boykin. It's the same quality wherever
(16:32):
you go. That's the secret. Same thing with Starbucks. Now
the Jets, they're also consistent, consistently serving stuff that should
be going down at garbage Choot. That's the Jets and
Aaron Glenn, who seems to be doing this Dan Campbell cosplay,
like I'm gonna just do what Dan Campbell did because
it worked for him.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
But well, no, you're not Dan Campbell. Maybe you should
do your own thing.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Well know it worked for him, and they hired me
because I followed him around, But well no, you should
do your own thing.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Well no, I don't want to do that.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
And of course it's like he's the interroom teacher and
the players. Whoever the Jets coach is, the players don't
take them seriously.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
It's like they're just.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Launching spit balls at the coach and climbing out the
windows like lunatics, and the it's like come on, and
he's like, well you should really act you should act professional. Ah,
you're not gonna be here screw you. So he's more
like a babysitter. And the results show it. Four games,
four losses for the Jets, and it's detention. Every single
(17:29):
weekend they're in detention. And it's for three hours, possibly
three and a half hours on Sunday when they play
and other teams are preparing for the SAT or whatever
big tests they have, and and the Jets players they're
wearing not their their their helmet, not their their pads.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
They're wearing their dune cap. That's what they do, right.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
They don't go to the stadium in a convoy of buses.
They take the short yellow bus. That's what the Jets take,
right a little bit. That's why that was my bus,
you know, Like they wear helmets on the bus. They've
got the velcrow sneakers. The windows are all locked like
it's prison. That's the Jets, AOL dial up forever, not
(18:10):
quickly to the winning locker room the Miami side of things.
But they lose wall winning as it's.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Not an a go bye for Tyreek Hill.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Bad news bears Tyreek Hill down for the count season
over for the Dolphins, or reports overnight saying that's it.
He's done. He's in the hospital right now. Left knee
was twisted.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Round and round and round and round and round and round.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Diagnosed with a dislocated knee, made a catch near the sideline.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
There and that was it.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
He will be in that hospital until the early morning
hours to monitor things. Now. According to the medical doctor,
doctor Chow, who I've had on my podcast and has
popped up on Fox Sports Radio Whatnot, he says, it
is a rear threatening injury, not necessarily a career ending injury,
but a career threatening injury for Tyreek Hill.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
So question, what are the chances?
Speaker 2 (19:08):
What are the chances that Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill
comes back from his dislocated knee. So on the malarods
malarods plus four hundred, that is a twenty percent chance
plus four hundred a twenty percent chance.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
And I believe Loraina has just seen the video.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
The human body is not supposed to move in that
the leg is not supposed to move in that direction.
So the ligaments in Tyreek Hill's left knee were shredded
like pulled pork at a roadside barbecue pit. On I
ninety five, you can get that same quality of pull
the beef there.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
It was just disgusting.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
And yeah, and you look at the mat he there's
a guy over the age of thirty. Over the age
of thirty, his whole game is based on what speed racer.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
That's it. He's the Cheetah, that's his nickname.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
So if you had a cheetah that was limping around,
how would the cheatah do?
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Not good? History tells us this is not going to
end well. Receivers past the age of three. If you
look at the comps, if you look at.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
The comps on this that are dependent on their legs,
most receivers are of your possession receiver. And still you've
got to be able to get open. But Tyreek is
an electric game burner, and so it certainly feels that's
a feeling, not a fact. It feels like we just
watched the final chapter of his Dolphins career, Tyreek, and
(20:33):
he ended up leaving on a golf cart and that
was it. Now think about this though, the Dolphins, from
what we have heard, the Dolphins whole plan was, We're
gonna wait until the eleventh hour the trade deadline in
I believe, right around Halloween. So the end of this month,
early November the trade deadline, and we are going to
hold an auction right before the deadline and at Kansas City,
(20:57):
the Chargers, the Steelers, the Patriots, and just bid these
teams all bit against each other, and then we'll squeeze
out a big giant bag of draft picks for somebody desperate. Now,
quote Donnie Brasco.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Forgot about it. Forgot about it, Dad.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
The only bag they're getting is a bag full of
medical bills to cover the cost of repairing like determinator,
putting Tyreek Hill's leg back together at this point.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
So but I'm still I'm still going twenty percent. Now,
what well are you going twenty percent? I don't understand.
Let me explain. My position is Tyreek has to.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Play, even if he's hopping on one leg like a
pogo stick, He's got to play.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Why does he have to play? Bm date? All right?
Speaker 2 (21:45):
What is BMD mean? Baby mama drama? That's why, all right,
baby mama drama. From seed to shining sea. For Tyreek Hill,
he's got more dependence than the United States tax code
at this point.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
All right, there's a lot of little babies.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Out there with reeks DNA, and if the NFL shuts
the door, he's gonna be out there because you figure
even though his leg is mutilated, he can still likely,
you know, partake in adult activities. There's ways you might
have to change certain activities. But anyway, so there's more
kids on the way. So if the NFL he can't
come back to the NFL because his legs all messed up,
(22:22):
who says no to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Do I
get the Montreal Alouettes? Do I get the BC Lions?
Can I get them in there? Shout out Vancouver right anyway?
So and if not that, I'm sure there's some Saudi
Pro Football league somewhere that will start up and you
can see Tyreek out there jogging around Dubai. He'll get
a bunch of gold bouyon and some oil futures and
(22:44):
there you go. Now, as for the team, the Dolphins
who did win this game continue to be an enigma.
They are akin to a message in the bottle. They're
just kind of drifting on. It's like they didn't really look.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
All that good.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
They the game, They played a bad team and the
Jets gave that game away. So we'll see what the
future holes your thoughts on any of that eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox. If you can get lucky there,
grab a line eight seven seven nine nine six six
three sixty nine. Also on X at Ben Mahlor. That's

This speaking of the Jets, but for dog. If I
talk about the Angels, we might as well turn the
transmitter off.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
At this point. Okay, what do you want me to
do here?
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Okay, I mean just silence. It'd be like it's a
silent night if we talk about the Angels. Okay, I
got dinged. I tried to talk about the Angels a
couple times during the baseball season, and I was reprimanded.
I was yelled at by brigadier generals and the malle
militia say what are you doing? I said, I'm talking
about the agripts. You shouldn't talk about the agript talk
about the teams people care about. Okay, I will all right,
fine whatever. So anyway, the Jets losing on Monday Night.
(26:01):
Now the Mets the way it works in New York,
and I've got.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
A family there.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
So there's either Yankees Giants fans or Jets Mets fans.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
That's the breakdown there.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
And so someone and I'm not sure who, I'm not
sure who, someone who's a Mets Jets fan went down
to Miami for a nice sporting weekend to watch the
Mets try to get into the playoffs against the Marlins
and then stay for the Monday night game to watch
the Jets take on the Dolphins. And so here's what
happened over the weekend. The Mets had an opportunity on
(26:34):
Sunday to get into the playoffs and lost. And then
on Monday, the Jets had really no chance against the
Miami Dolphins. So what a great sports weekend that was.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Yeah. Now, one thing I'm sad about.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Is I used to get a lot of feedback from
the Justin Fields marching and showders society. You know who
you are if you listen to the show. You've heard
some of these calls over the year. This goes back
to when he was in Chicago. Oh my god, Fields
is so good. He's so good, you know, And I said,
well he's not good. Well, no, you don't know what
you're talking about. That's what you're doing overnights.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
He sucks.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Now you suck, as you would say, Yeah, Justin Fields
is so bad. He is reading the vomit comment for
so long that I don't even get those phone calls.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
I don't even get those calls anymore.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Like they even the Justin Fields Marching in Shadow society
at this point. They always say, well it's the Bears,
it's the Bears of the reason he was bad. So
then he went to Pittsburgh, which is seemingly a good team,
not a great team, a good team the Pittsburgh series
with Mike Tomlin a pretty good coach, Hall of Fame coach,
and Tomlin wanted nothing to do with Justin Fields, so
they can't use that. Now he's on the Jets, so
(27:47):
they go back to the same playbook. But the fun
fact of the hour, and let me tell you this
is fun. We're putting the fun in fun factor.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Fun fact.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
So Justin Fields has led his team in twenty five
games when an opponent has scored at least twenty one points.
Have you seen the stat? Yeah, we can add another one.
So Justin Fields has led his team to twenty five
games where the opponent scores at least twenty one points.
And in those twenty five games, whatever team Justin Fields
is playing for is own twenty five.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
They haven't won a gate. They haven't won a gaate.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
In fact, according to the nerds, and there are plenty
of them that keep track of this stuff, Justin Fields
is the only he's the only winless quarterback. There are
forty six quarterbacks that have had that amount in that
sample size over the last well not that total amount,
but the last five years ten starts at least ten
(28:44):
starts made. And Justin Fields is a party of one.
He is a party of one. He's the only quarterback
that has not been able to lead his team to
a win. And the fun we used to have, goofing,
the fun we use used to have goofing on Justin
Fields with the Justin Fields fanboys, we are not able
(29:06):
to have anymore because they've given up. They have given up.
It's all over. That's it.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
That's all all she wrote.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Take that for data, Yeah, that's all.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
What do we have here?
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Late Night Drug Tester writes, and he says, I'm sure
Tyreek has a lot to look forward to after football.
I haven't heard of any marital problems in the past week. Also,
all McDonald's are not the same. Pretty sure there is
no beef served in India. So Late Night Drug Tester
is that guy. He's always that guy, you know, always
the guy. It's got to touch up your work there
(29:39):
rather than just go with it. Bad job by you.
Ozzy was also is that guy. He says from Western Australia,
the land of the kangaroo, he says, not all Big
Max tastes the same as I have had one in
Hong Kong, England, Ireland and of course Australia, and the
one in England tasted horrible.
Speaker 7 (29:58):
Oh yeah, maybe they use different grease.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
I don't think they used different grease. I thought the
whole McDonald's business models. The food's not that good, but
it's gonna taste the same, isn't that the whole business model.
Speaker 7 (30:10):
Even with Red Robin. Right, So there are franchise and
they're all over the place, but Cisco gets their stuff
up there. So their honey poppy is a little different
than the honey poppy that they have here in Los Angeles,
just because their supplier isn't.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Ever totally different.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Like the key to those big chains is it's got
to be consistency. Yeah, like you go to Starbucks, it's
going to be the same or whatever. I don't my wife.
Speaker 7 (30:30):
That's why in and Out doesn't do bigger national things,
because they just can't.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
They know they they have.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Spread their wings though they're now all the way in Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Well Tennessee there, they're heading east. There, they're headquarters.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
I think they're leaving California, So getting out of California,
their headquarter is gonna be in in Tennessee in the
next couple of years. Shannon De Mone writes, and he
says Tua is one concussion away from being as relevant
as Blake Bortles. Fields is already as relevant as Bortles.
He says a plus plus us on the Malor monologue,
(31:03):
mister Irrigation from deep in the Heart of Texas and
Houston rights and he says the Tyreek Hill injury looks
a bit like Tank Dell's injury, and he is still
not back on the field, but it seems but I
seem to recall they said Dell's knee was dislocated as well.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Yeah, it's it's from what I understand, it's the same
Tank Dell thing. It's the same injury.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
It's it's a career threatening injury for Tyreek Hill, whose
whole game is based on blowing past defensive backs, and
that's that's how that's going to go.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
So good luck.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
But I still think he's going to play again in
the NFL because he has to play again in the NFL,
because he's got so many kids all over the place,
and he's got to get that money coming in. You
can't make that kind of money in a lot of jobs.
Like what's Tyreek Hill going to do where he's gonna
make that kind of cash. I've been watching the Cocaine Quarterback,
(32:00):
the documentary thing I we're watching that. I'm not quite
done with it. I guess you could do that work
for the Mexican drug cartels. You can probably make pretty
good money doing that. But outside of that, Tyreek is thirty.
He's thirty one. His birthdays in March, so he'll be
thirty two. He's not gonna play at age thirty two.
So then, do you want a thirty three year old cheetah?
(32:23):
Do you want a thirty.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Three year old? You do? You do? Do you like that?
Speaker 2 (32:27):
You saw the injury lare in? You enjoyed looking at
the injury of the man's leg twisted it?
Speaker 7 (32:31):
I almost jumped into the wall.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
That was a lot to see.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Yeah, I'm that now I'm gonna date myself. But when
I was a little kid, I used to watch Monday
night football. We didn't have, you know, cable was barely around.
But I remember watching the New York Giants and the
Washington Redskins on a Monday night and seeing Joe Thaisman's
legs snap in half as a little child, right, a
(32:54):
little kid, and I still can close my eyes and
see the leg Yeah, yeah, it just it was horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
What else we have to see? Page down?
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Just in time, Davis says, Man, I am listening on
the AM radio, but I hide behind my X app
on my phone. Good, good deal. Whatever gets you through
the night, Whatever gets you through the night. Sean as Sirius.
Sean is at a some kind of store in the
Greater Phoenix area for some reason and sent a random photo.
(33:29):
We're not sure why he sent the random photo, but
he did send the random photo. So being called in
to the principal's office. Being called into the principal's office,
that would be Troy Aikman, who said the quiet part
out loud.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
He said the quiet part out loud.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
If you're paying attention, Troy Aikman doing the Bengal Bronco
game late in the third quarter, Troy Aikman pointed out
what everyone watching was thinking, and Aikman went on a
little dot about the officiating, which was very in your
face throughout both games. He said, I'm not gonna keep
(34:06):
my mouth shut. Aikman said, that's a good call, just
not a necessary call. No opportunity to try and make
a play. Nothing brings a broadcast to a screeching halt
more than these yellow flags.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
He said, there you go.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
The product's just not very good, which is an accurate statement,
but that's not what the NFL wants out there, right.
And you know you're not in the good graces of
the NFL when you say the product's not very good
and you're actually honest.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Because the NFL wants their people to lie. Is what
they want. It is the Ben Mahlor show. No lion here.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
We're gonna have Mallor to the third degree. That's Mallard
of the third degree. We'll get to that coming up here.
If you'd like to be part, you can send us
a message on x at Bend Mallar time. Now though
for the inch to trivia, and here it is. Jets
quarterback Justin Fields has full rushing touchdowns of forty plus
(35:02):
yards in his career, and while he sucks at throwing
the ball, he's pretty good at running it. So Justin
Fields has four rushing touchdowns of forty plus yards in
his career, tied with Lamar Jackson and Blank for the
most of any quarterback in NFL history. That's the insta
trivia the answer. We'll get to it, and we will
(35:23):

All right, back to it we go, and time now
for the Insta trivia and then we'll get to mallor
to the third degree. Here it is, so Justin Fields,
who's on in twenty five in his career when the
other team scores twenty one points or more, that's a
negative stat. This is a positive stat. Justin Fields has
four rushing touchdowns of forty or more yards in his career.
That is tied with Lamar Jackson and Blank for the
(36:52):
most by any quarterback in NFL.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
His rate. All right, what's the answer? Let's see does
anyone know the answer?
Speaker 2 (37:00):

Speaker 8 (38:17):
The Falcons started off the season with a narrow loss
to the Bucks and followed that up by blowing out
the Vikings. Then they were embarrassed by the Panthers of
all teams. Yeah and uh yesterday they had a couple
of days ago they had a nice win against the Commanders. Ben,
It's been a roller coaster ride of a season. Who
are the real Falcons?
Speaker 2 (38:33):
The real fact? Real Falcons are an eight or nine
win team. Okay, they're an eight or nine win team. Coop,
They're an average team, like I'm not. They beat Washington
with their backup quarterback out their top receiver.
Speaker 8 (38:45):
Next, Ashton Genty finally had his breakout performance for the
Raiders on Sunday, with one hundred and fifty five total
yards of offense and three touchdowns against the Bears. A
lot of people are credit are crediting a return to
his college stance. Be do you think Genty has been
unlocked or was this more about the Bears?
Speaker 1 (38:59):
No, it's about to is the dumbest story. It's they
played the Bears. They and Singletary's not out to stop.
I'm gonna come. I'm gonna rant about this more later. Crew.
That is so stupid. Do it more than one game? Next.
Speaker 8 (39:13):
After the failed comeback attempt against the Eagles, Bucks head
coach Todd Bowles till the media, we can't keep falling
behind and expect to win. But do you think Baker
and the Bucks become more consistent? As the season goes
on and will just start going south.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
Nah, Baker's always been that hot and cold. He's like
a roller coaster, the loop de loops and all that.
I don't think they're gonna change there. They'll beat a
bunch of bad teams, but against the better teams, they're
they're too hot and cold.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
How do we do you pass that?
Speaker 5 (39:33):
Is?
Speaker 1 (39:33):
They win?
Speaker 2 (39:34):
