Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our numbird two and we head
to the valley of the Sun Chargers Cardinals, the second
of a doubleheader, a couple of Island games on a
Monday night, now and Tuesday. Where do you fall on

(00:20):
the great Justin Herbert debate had a quid stat line,
but the Chargers didn't score any touchdowns? Also, where do
you put the Jim Harbaugh Chargers after six games? Now
in week seven, we'll discuss that, plus well sashe our
way to the WNBA where the players Association is opted
out of the collective bargaining agreement setting up a negotiation.

(00:44):
They're threatening a workstoppage. Does any of this make any sense?
The league has lost money every year they've been in business.
We'll talk about that and more right now here. It
is our number two. Normally, when electricity it's a bird,
the bird does not survive. But on the football field
it is a different story. Well Comeme, the beginning of

(01:09):
another hour of the Been Malors Show. We are in
the air everywhares we get paid to engage in small talk.
Coast the coast, border, the border and beyond on the
mast enterroudly powerful microphones of fs are writing the radio

(01:30):
waves as we emnate live from the Factor, as we
bring the Wow factor every single quarter hour. We're broadcasting
live from the tyraq dot com studios. Tyract dot com
will help you get there and unmatched selection, fast free shipping,
free road has a protection and over ten thousand recommended installers.

(01:54):
Tireraq dot com the way tirebind should be now. No
stradinas he lives in Seattle and he's convinced that the
Seahawks are going to win the Super Bowl this year,
and they're going to win. He's gonna win ten thousand dollars,
but he also likes the number ten thousand just in general.
So our lead this hour play the hits mom Man

(02:14):
that we were on last hour. If you are just
joining us some affiliates picking us up, you can hear
the last hour on the podcast. It'll be up shortly
after we get done a deep dive on the Monday
night early game, the main event, which was early not
the late game. The main event. We talked about the
Ravens domination situation over the pile of Pooh Buccaneers. But

(02:36):
this hour we go to the Valley of the Sun.
The second half of the twin Bill living the Island life,
the island life, and even though it was the late show,
it was really the undercard on these two Monday night
football games. So yeah, Jim Harbaughs Chargers matching up against
Alligator Arms Murray and the Cardinals not the most riveting game,

(03:00):
says boring. That would be an accurate adjectivity use boring.
But they played and maybe you watched it. Probably not,
We watched it, so you would not have to. We
help out give back our active kindness to the sports
talk radio consumer, and surprise, surprise, surprise, little fella scampered
around the field. Kyler Murray better known as Alligator Arms Murray.

(03:24):
I guess there was no video game tournament on Monday night.
He had forty four yard touchdown run for the Arizona
football team, navigating the Cardinals on a final drive with
the help of some officiating there to set up Chad
Ryland's thirty two yard field goal as time expired. Good afternoon,

(03:45):
good evening, and good night, and Arizone rallies in the
final seconds they get a seventeen to fifteen victory over
Harbaugh and the Chargers. The better story is in the
losing locker room, and the conversation around this game already
is about the quarterback. The quarterback apologies are on their

(04:08):
high horse, saying that Justin Herbert gets a mulligan that
yet again his teammates have let him down. Every time
the Chargers lose. It's never Justin Herbert's fault. It is
never the man's fault. These quarterback brown nosers are a
special breed. They are. Now in this game, you did
have Jalen Rager, the wide receiver who fumbled, you know,

(04:30):
those fumbles in the end zone situation. Yeah, that happened.
Somebody named cam Hart had a penalty in overtime, a
killer penalty that set up Arizona to push them in
along on their drive that resulted in the field goal.
But let us discuss that part of it, the quarterback part.
The better story in the losing locker room. So that
is where we will go. And the question for the

(04:52):
esteem panel here, where do you fall on the great
Justin Herbert debate? As his number looked alright, but the
Chargers lose yet again. So I've got Ernest Hemingway suck
and warped, and we will combine all of these things

(05:13):
together and we are going to make cactus because that's
what the Chargers offense was stuck in cactus.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
So n.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
We are on the side of accountability. We stand on
the side of accountability. The Chargers over the years have
changed coaches, they have changed players, and Justin Herbert has
remained the quarterback. He has been given multiple big contracts
and his performance never quite good enough. Now, if you

(05:46):
play fantasy football, there's a lot of sexy numbers there
in terms of yardage, not so much touchdowns. It's always
been someone else's fault. Always been. I wish I could
do that. Wouldn't that be fun? Hey, you know the
show Blew last night. Ain't my fault? No, not my fault. No,
it didn't have not my fault. The whole thing is,
the whole thing is weak sauce is what it is. Right,

(06:08):
And you watch Justin Herbert. I'm watching that game, I'm like, Okay,
he's thrown for a lot of yards. He had three
hundred and forty nine yards passing and he completed I
think around seventy percent of his passes something like that,
sixty nine percent, which is close to seventy. It's just
empty calories, is what it is it's like, you know,
drinking soda soda pop. You know, it's empty calories. And

(06:28):
he didn't have an interception. We you know, I didn't
have an inception. But as Ernest Hemingway famously said, never
confuse movement with action. Don't do it. And that's when
you watch the Chargers offense Justin Herbert went against the
NFL's twenty seventh ranked defense. There are only thirty two

(06:49):
teams in the NFL. They were the twenty seventh ranked
defense Arizona, and I'm surprised they weren't worse than that.
And the Chargers offense was held out of the end
zone eight possessions, not ones. Did they get paydired. The
Chargers got in scoring range, not even the red zone.
They only got the red zone one or two times,
but they got in a scoring range and they were

(07:10):
stuck in suspended animation is what they were stuck in.
And one step forward, two steps back. Part of the
prop unpopular opinion here unpopular pans texting a friend of
mine is a Charger, fans said, listen, it's a problem.
Your problem is your kicker, dicker. The kicker is a problem,
right because rather than be aggressive and try to score touchdowns.

(07:33):
They're like, well, we have a good defense, and you
know we've got Dicker the kicker, so we'll just have
him kickfield goals. Cameron Dicker, he's so good. Oh, he's
so good. We don't need to score touchdowns. And you
didn't score an f in touchdown? How did that work out?
They had five field goals? That's exciting. Whoopye damn new
five field goals? We so exciting. Yeah, losing the game

(07:56):
and you lost to a second rate club like the Cardinals.
All right, now, page two here, where do you put
the Jim Harbaugh Chargers. Now, as we are done with
Week seven of the NFL, Chargers have already had their bye.
They've played six games. So I have on my note
card for the Chargers, I wrote down soak not s

(08:18):
ock or so o X. How about s oc as
in same old Chargers, Same old Chargers, right stuck on
the hamster wheel of mediocrity. That's where they are. And
there's there's there's nothing but a tease. There's no no.
The Broncos are better than them. And they don't have

(08:38):
a quarterback, right, I mean they don't have a good quarterback.
They have a wobbly throwing bow knicks. But yet the
Broncos are are better Justin Herbert. He has nice stats
in terms of yardage and things like that. And the
Chargers defense looks to be pretty good. And yet you
look at the losses here. They lost to the Cardinals,

(08:58):
now Steeve with Justin Fields who got benched after that game,
shortly after that game, and the Chiefs, who are the
gold standard in the division. That's the litmus test in
the division. And so they're three and three. You are
what your record says you are, and they're average, they're blah.
That's the Chargers. They're a classic foe contender. They're in

(09:19):
the wildcard race because just being around five hundred, you're
in the wildcard race. But they're not real. They're not
a legit contender. They don't match up with the top
teams in the NFL, and despite having Jim Harbaugh, and
yet the quarterback gets a pass and whatnot. Now, I
wanted to move away from that and spend a couple
of minutes on a story that's not NFL related, because
we have learned now that the WNBA Players Association has

(09:44):
this is when I saw this, I thought it was
butt Cracks sports or sports Stock, Barry Burry, the sports
dock guy, those parody accounts online. Oh, there's no way
this is real, because in the real world, if you
work for a business that is losing money, you would
certainly not do that. Uh, this is legit. I double
verified it. And this is the funniest thing you're gonna

(10:05):
here all day. The WNBA Players Association. By the way,
I'm not doing this for jokes. I'm not doing this.
This is real. What I'm about to say's real. Okay,
I'm not making this up. What I'm about to say real. So,
the WNBA was just lost money every single year they've
been in business. Uh. And they, the Union for the Players,
has decided to opt out of the collective bargaining agreement

(10:25):
with CBA, and they're going to negotiate a new deal
and they are threatening a work stoppage, work stoppage WNBA.
Would anyone notice, uh, man, does any of this make sense?
Does any of this make sense? Well, it is illogical

(10:48):
on every layer of the cake. It is completely illogical.
And it shows you that the WNBA rank and file
are warped, right, They have a warped sense of reality.
That's the only conclusion, the only logical conclusion one can
come to. You have one player in the entire league

(11:09):
that anyone cares about. One player.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
So one player league, she should hold out and everyone
else should play Caitlin Clark. That's it. The rest of
the league completely useless. All these players are useless, the
teams are useless, the whole operation is useless. Right, there's
no star power, there's no fan base, there's no interest
in the league at all. The league has been around

(11:33):
since nineteen ninety six and they draw garden flies in
terms of interest. Right, And what is my evidence? How
about this year the WNBA has arrived. That's what we're told.
Eddie was forced to give WNBA scores on the news
updates against his will by a corporate So let's look
at this. The twenty twenty four final WNBA regular season

(11:55):
viewership on all rated television networks games involving Kitlin Clark
had almost two well one point two million viewers one
a million, one hundred and seventy eight thousand viewers. Every
other WNBA game had less than four hundred thousand. Now
keep in mind on some of the channels that broadcast
the WNBA. The very bottom of the ratings are about that,

(12:19):
like there's no one else. A certain amount of people
are always watching certain TV channels at any time. The
difference is a shocking one hundred and ninety nine percent
drop off when Caitlin Clark's on and then when anyone
else is on, she's not playing one hundred and ninety
nine percent drop off. You have a lot of hutzba

(12:39):
to ask for more money when you are in a
business that is failing, you are not You are not
resonating with the consumer. And the league would have folded
and should have folded fifteen years ago, if not longer
than that, if it had not been for the NBA
teams propping it up, the sugar daddies of the the NBA. Right,

(13:02):
it's a loss, I guess a loss leader. Maybe they
write it off for tax reasons, but they've burned millions
of dollars over the years. The WNBA has lost money
every single year they've been in business. Is there any
other business that can last almost thirty years and lose
money every year, and yet the employers will like, oh,
we need more money, we need more money. Even this

(13:23):
passion aveils forty million dollars, forty million dollars, and the
league was shoved down my throat and your throat. And
we didn't want it. No, we didn't ask for it.
But hey, it's arrived. And when it obviously hadn't arrived,
no one cared other than when Caitlin Clark played. And
the new TV deal that the WNBA is getting spoiler alert,

(13:46):
spoiler alert, Yeah yeah, it's it's pocket change. It's chump
change compared to what the other popular sports leagues get
in terms of broadcast revenue. The WNBA is a niche sport.
That's all it is now and that's all it will
ever be. And it's a fringe nitch sport. And the
players are demanding more money. Oh my god, I laughed.

(14:08):
I thought that was the I thought it was fake.
I said, there's no way, but yet apparently it's real.
They're acting, they're actually doing it. That is Oh my god,
it is so fun. I hope the leak. The NBA
ought to say, you know, we're pulling the money. The
whole thing should go belly up and just go out
of business. The whole WNBA say you know what you want,
all right, fine, collect the bargaining. We've decided we're gonna

(14:28):
shut the business down. Good luck, see a lighter bye, ladies.

rack dot Com. Fox Sports Radio Studios. It's Ben Maller.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
And we are ranting through the Overnight World Series not
till Friday late night. Drug tester says, if the WNBA
wants more viewers, I may watch a one on one
versus Kyler Murray. Most of those ladies have to tower
over Kyler. Well, yeah, pretty much everyone towers over Kyler Murray.
It's kind of clear there, Daniel writes, and he says,

(16:25):
I went to David Busters during the Dodger Mets Game six.
There were a sea if Dodger fans, about eight Steeler
fans and one man sitting in the corner cheering on
the liberty. That's good, Christopher, one of the blind guys, says, well,
when it's time for the WNBA to help the Ben

(16:46):
Maller Show with the telethon to raise money to pay
more players. Show me the money to take care of
your sister league. There you go, all right, Well I
don't know what that meant, but fine, whatever. Let's go
to the phones and we'll say hello.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
To Uncle Mo.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
Who's in? Uncle Mo? He's a noted Yankee fan, Eddie,
Uncle Moe. He loves the hello.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
I'll go, Mo, Ben, I know you don't like this question,
but ask me how I'm doing.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
I hate that question, man, how you doing?

Speaker 3 (17:17):
I'll go mo?

Speaker 2 (17:18):
Oh boy, Ben, I'm glad you asked. If I was
any better, I'd be a Jet, but not a New
York Jet because we sucked.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
But at least Jets are a fraud. At least you're
providing us with great sports talk radio. The Jets wonderful.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
Sure, what's done any other year? Ben? I had a
great idea for this World Series. I already shared it
with Eddie, but I had a great idea for this
World Series. I think you'd like it. Also. I think
for the Game one. Before Game one, we're gonna have
CC Sabathia throw out the first pitch to Chase Utley.
And we're going to announce that this World Series counts
for two. It's also going to count for the twenty

(17:54):
seventeen World Series. Whoever wins wins two World Series is
with this one.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
I like that. That's a good idea. And they have
two parades and two trophies and all of that. Now,
Uncle Moe, in your life, you're a young guy. You
sound like you're a sage old guy, but you're a
young guy. Were you even alive when the Dodgers and
Yankees played in the World Series in nineteen eighty one?

Speaker 2 (18:18):
The only World Series I remember the Yankees. I vaguely
remember the Yankees in the two thousand and three World Series. Yeah,
the first year that I really remember with the Yankees
was the four Collapse. The Really, the Yankees have only
won one World Series of me, it's the O nine
World Series. I don't remember.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
See that's a smart See that's smart because you're in
your and I agree that's good fandom. Uncle Mo. You're
counting your lifetime as a fan because what happened before you,
you weren't alive for it, and what happens after you,
you're also not going to be a live for so really,
What matters is what happens under your watch. That's that's
the most important part.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
Yeah, correct, I mean I know everything about old the
Yankee Dodgers.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
Will no, no, no, I know, I know, but it's
I did get a kise like all the Yankees Dodger
players are being asked, well, what about the Dodger Yankee robery?
None of them were alive, none of them. There's no
rivalry for these players. They don't know anything about that.
It doesn't exist.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
I agreed, I completely agree, there's not. There's no I mean,
nineteen eighty one, that's that's forever ago.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
But here's the thing, moll, here's the thing, mough. You know,
as a Yankee fan, what we're about to see is
that Spider Man mean, okay, the Dodgers and Yankees play
the same exact way. It's it's micro managing by the skipper.
You've got Dave Roberts and Aaron Boone that are injured, interchangeable.
The Yankees supposed to have better starting pitching, but who knows.

(19:38):
And the lineups are similar, A couple of big boppers
there and then the rest. You kind of throw it together,
so almost identically.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
I would say, I completely agree with you. I would
say the Yankee, the Yankee starting pitching right now is
not super Cole has two of his three postseason starts
have been bad. I would never rely on Carlo Schmid's
been okay, and Louis Seal's a wild card. I wouldn't
call the Yankee starting pitching, not that the Doyers have
so much better starting pitching. I mean r Flaherty, Well.

Speaker 1 (20:11):
Yeah, Flaherty, Yeah, I would start him at Dodger Stadium
because he'll puke if he pitches at Yankee Stadium. And
Yamamoto is great, but he has to pitch once a
month or else his arm falls off, so he can
only have to They almost have to start Yamamoto in
Game one because that way they maybe can start him
if it goes, you know, seven games that don't.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
Start to get how would they not bring him back for?
How would they not bring him back? It doesn't matter
what you've done the entire year, you have to.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
Well because that's not how baseball operates. Now, you know this, Mo,
This pissed. This pisces me off as a pet people
of mind. In my whole life growing up, I'm older
than you, obviously, Mo, but my life as a sportsman,
it was in the playoffs you overcome you have to
do things that you have to press the limit, right,
test the limits of your ability and all that. And
now it's like, no, no, just do the bare minimum,

(20:58):
don't don't do anything extra. We're fine. I hate that.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
All of the greatest twenty nineteen nationals they did, they
tested everyone, They pushed every starting picture they had the
twenty nineteen acts, and then everyone else is well, look
at that always the name, the lefty picture with the
sixth with the six year contract. He was never good again,
so it must have not worked. Strosburg was never good again,
so that they even used that to push back in

(21:24):
every Buddy.

Speaker 1 (21:24):
Well Shrosburg though they had a chance in the playoffs,
or they shut him down the first year he was
in the big leagues. I remember that. That was ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
Well, Ben, I would say one difference between the teams
is in the bullpens. The Dodgers are much more of
a you know, flame throwing bullpen with the Yankees, and
it's different than bullpens in years test it's not a bullpen,
of it's a bunch of soft tourses. Kaneley throws a
bunch of change up. See, the only guy with like
elite elite stuff is Clay Holmes, and he's he's a

(21:54):
wild card.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
So yeah, we'll see. I mean, and who knows that
Aaron Judge might walk into Roger Stadium to see that
bullpen gate out there and have you know, you might
have PTSD. You know, is that intimidating bullpen gate at
Dodger Stadium? And the Dodgers, whether they do or not,
they think they know how to pitch the Wan Sodo
because you pitched. You played for the Padres the last
couple of years and they faced them all the time.
So we'll see if that's true or not.

Speaker 2 (22:16):
Well, Ben, I'm looking forward to a great series. I
think my idea is a great idea.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
I agree, you're a marketing I go over to those
marketing people on Madison Avenue, Well you're in Brooklyn, go
over to Manhattan. Let them know that's a good idea.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
Right now, I'm busy getting ready for the w NBA.

Speaker 1 (22:29):
Ticket takes as a big event for all New Yorkers,
Yes are they? Now they're going to count everyone that
happens to be working in Lower Manhattan as someone attending
the event. Is that what they're going to be doing probably,
so we're going to.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
Take hold that we can get them. Sure. I mean
I didn't even know they won the championship, you.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
Know, I did not watch the second of it either.
But fairly they want more money, so I hope they
get a lot more money. I want to see them
get a lot of money. All right, thank you, Moe.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
Ben, it's nice to talk. I've been listening.

Speaker 1 (22:59):
So all right, good Mo. All right, there's a great
Uncle Moe, good heart o baseball talk there. Yeah. See
I could have that with angry Bill, but it's a douche.
So I can't talk to him a ball like that
because he's a loser. But so I don't have a
lot and Arlington. I have Uncle Mo hard old baseball talk.
That's it. Though. These other guys that call her jokester,
so I gotta, you know, hang up on him for
five second because they're losers.

Speaker 3 (23:19):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

Speaker 4 (23:24):
Ben, did you and did you and Uncle Moe talk
about Nestor Cortes? I may have missed that in your.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
Car and you're not mentioned him by name. He is
a Yankee starting pitcher.

Speaker 4 (23:32):
Yes, and apparently he's going to be added to the
World Series roster. Has not pitched at September the eighteenth
due to a flexer string.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
That always goes well. They call him nasty Nesters. What
they call him the master, the molester is what I heard.
But well that's that's actually P Diddy's name now, so.

Speaker 4 (23:47):
Oh, I see, so yeah, apparently I could see some
World Series action.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
Nester Cortes for the New York Yankees. We'll see, all right,
bring him on. It's always fun to beat the Yankees.
The Yankee fans, I think they're they're going to win. Joe,
a Yankee fan, She says, dumbest call. She says Uncle
Mo's call was the dumbest call ever. Whoa says the
Yankees starting pitching ten times better than Dodgers. I will
disagree with that, Jill, even the C and D list

(24:14):
Dodger pitchers, because Garrett Cole is capable of going out
there on Friday Night. He's going to start Game one
and just riding the vomit comment and Dodgers will score
runs whether they're you know, we'll see We'll see how
this plays out. But I don't think there's a huge
advantage to the Yankee And the Dodgers had the top
record in baseball, and the Yankees play in a little

(24:38):
league park. It's like Williamsport there at Yankee Stadium with
the ridiculous dimensions. That'll help the Dodgers out. Now the
ball flies at Dodger Stadium. It's more of a legit ballpark.
Let's go to Blind Scott, who's on the north end
of Boston. Hello, Blind Scott, welcome. I don't hear, blind Scott.
I punched up the right line.

Speaker 4 (24:57):
But I did he already do his speed that he.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
Was supposed to do. Oh yeah, that was on Friday,
but he didn't tell it. Well he hadn't. Cle didn't
call yesterday, so I called back Blind Scott. Let's say
hello to weed Man Hippie, who's in Miami, well, Miami adjacent. Hello,
weed Man Hippie Hey there, So yes, First, what my
TV break? No, No, you're to TV the TV weed.

Speaker 5 (25:24):
Mane So first, Aaron Rodgers, come on, he got the Jets.
Now they gotta lose to two and five, I mean
to get to ten wins. They gotta go eight and three,

(25:45):
eight and two.

Speaker 2 (25:46):
I mean.

Speaker 5 (25:48):
They're not going to do that. They're not going to
make the playoffs.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
Well, the good news is you're giving a win this weekend,
as long as the Jets show up. If they lose,
the hellisay, if they lose to the Patriots this weekend,
I would fire the interim coach. I would I would
bring in a different interim coach. If they lose to
the Patriots. That's how bad. That's how bad the Patriots are. Okay,

(26:12):
but that gets you to three and five. You still
play the Cardinals later. Arizona's terrible. The Colts aren't any good.
They don't have a quarterback. So those are a couple
of winnable games. That gets you what are we at there?
That gets you to four wins? They'll lose, They'll lose to.

Speaker 4 (26:26):
The We got the Jaguars coming up.

Speaker 1 (26:29):
Yeah, that's a win. That's five. You'll split with the Dolphins.
That's six. Beat the Rams, but I don't know, maybe
not the Rams. Who knows. That's in New York though,
in December, so that means it'll be cold weather, and
the Rams don't play well in cold weather.

Speaker 5 (26:42):
They can only lose two more games all season.

Speaker 1 (26:46):
Well, that's what you assume, but that's a no for sure.
And there's other teams also could fall apart ahead of you. Okay,
that'd be good, you would support other teams. Like right now,
the last team in the playoffs is the Broncos and
they're four and three. So how many more wins are
the Broncos gonna get? Are they gonna get six more

(27:07):
wins this year? Are they gonna get? Scrambling to put
his headphones.

Speaker 5 (27:10):
On, I mean no, two and five though, I mean, god,
they get to ten wins, they gotta go eight and two.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
Yeah, no, it's not not ideal. It's not a.

Speaker 5 (27:23):
What I like Baker Mayfield. I want to see him wins,
and he goes up.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
Ten month just gives the game of the Ravens. Here's
a throw the ball. Let's throw a ball a double
coverage one of those passes. I'm convinced he was throwing
to the Ravens. He thought he had been traded to
the Ravens, and he wanted he wanted one of his
Raven receivers to catch the pass. He was confused by
what happened. Yeah, that was despicable. The Ravens defense isn't

(27:50):
very good, but when you throw them the ball right
at them, they actually are Okay, shocking, it's a shocking
turn of events. You know what I'm saying, weed man,
But you got the headphone owns. So how the TV break?
Did you drop it? Did you throw something at it?
Maybe you throw some grab olie at it?

Speaker 5 (28:06):
Stop working?

Speaker 1 (28:08):
You try plugging it, unplugging it and plugging it back in.
I did you did that? Did you did you tap
it on the side, like hit a little bit on
the side.

Speaker 5 (28:16):
Let me ask you a question.

Speaker 1 (28:18):
What So.

Speaker 5 (28:20):
The Washington Redskins, I understand why they would change that name, right,
red Skins, but the Cleveland Indians was wrong with Indians?
There's nothing wrong with that.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
Well, you'd have to contact the Wokesters at Major League
Baseball that they changed that. That's not allowed. But the
Atlanta Braves is allowed. So that's allowed, but the Indians
is not. It's it's the whole thing is ridiculous.

Speaker 5 (28:45):
It's killing the red Skins. I understand.

Speaker 1 (28:50):
Well, but even that, if you the Washington whatever they're
called now, they've done surveys of their fan base in
the DMV there and they want the name back, So
the fans want the name back. The people, Yeah, they say,
they're like, what's their new name? Because they're not going
to likely keep the name they have the commanders, they're
going to change the names. They're like, all right, what's

(29:10):
the name and what what name would you like? And
they've they've done these market research and from what I've
heard from people, I've heard from two different people that
they the Redskins was at the very top. That that's
what I think.

Speaker 4 (29:22):
The fans would love that new owner even more.

Speaker 1 (29:24):
But of course he would get crushed in the meeting. Yeah,
he wouldn't be able to go to Yeah, he wouldn't
go to those cocktail parties and the Hamptons and all that.
The Woasters would turn on him. They'd eat them, actually
be cannibalistic.

Speaker 5 (29:34):
There's nothing wrong with the Indians.

Speaker 1 (29:37):
Well, I didn't have I listen, didn't ask me. I
would have kept it. But it's the whole thing's absurd.
But you know, we'll see what they Maybe they'll change
it again. They named after a bridge, the Guardian Bridge.
I know a bridge. How many people? How many people
have jumped off the Guardian Bridge? Do we know? I
don't know. Anyway, all right, that's not fun. I thank you,

(30:00):
weed man. All right, go away, there's a weed man.
I'm surprised he didn't ask for someone to send him
a TV. For the record, now that you mentioned it,
send me a TV. I have the Broncos winning at
least five more games, so that'll get to nine wins. Oh,
hold on, let me see. Let me see if I'm

(30:21):
gonna look at the schedule. One second, hold on any
music here, I see which games, as Coop think the
Broncos are going to win. I'm going to the Broncos schedule. Okay, well,
guarantee they win this upcoming week they play the Caroline Pits.
If they don't, you better not coming to work the
next that's a week. But then they'll lose two in
a row at Baltimore at Kansas City. Atlanta is a
fifty fifty game.

Speaker 4 (30:43):
I agree.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
That's in Denver. That's on my birthday. Win for you there.

Speaker 6 (30:49):
Yes, the Raiders in the Brown put I put that
one as like a maybe that's not one of the wins.

Speaker 1 (30:53):
So Raiders in Brown wins. Yeah, that's in Vegas. Though
the Vegas flu, all the all the orange jud it
doesn't matter. I'm talking about the players going out of
the Bolagio and partying, and Mike in vague US not
in Vegas, and and whatnot. Colts don't have a quarterback.
That should be a win. This guy, Anthony Richards is

(31:15):
one of the worst players I've ever seen in the
NFL as far as the quarterback so bad. Have you
seen him play? Eddie? I want some play a little
bit against Steel. Yeah, people heard people made jokes about
Lamar Jackson being a running back. This guy is literally
a running back. He cannot throw is wild? All right?
So what you said, Brown's Raiders wins Caroline's three. I'll

(31:36):
give the Colts game. It's in Denver. I'll give that,
and then after that maybe the Bengals. It burrows hurt
by then, and then they have enough. The Chargers. You know,
it's in La though, you know, so be there like
Eddi's they went in Denver. Why wasn't they win at home? Well,
what happened last year? I don't remember. They lost at

(31:59):
home to the Broncos. All right, but they'll be around
nine or ten wins. Beat Carolina, Browns and Raiders. That
gets you to seven wins, and then you gotta get
two other wins, Colts, that's not good right around? That
are all right? Is that? But that was fun? That was?
Was that not entertaining? Sports Radio? The Broncos schedule segment
were you were fair? I want to know if somebody

(32:20):
was a face. I saw this story bouncing around. People
were telling me, he did you see this? Apparently YouTube TV,
which I don't have. YouTube TV consumers of that product
were very upset. They were being forced to watch the
w NBA in order to watch the NFL and Major
League Baseball. They had this multiview thing and people were

(32:43):
being outraged because of the w NBA Finals Game five
was going on and they were being forced to watch
that YouTube TV multi What is it? I didn't even
know what this multiview watched three games at one time
for multi four more games. Yeah, but apparently they were.
One of the games had to be the WNBA.

Speaker 2 (33:02):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
That's that's ridiculous. Dumbda dum, dumb dumb. Anyway, it is
the Ben Mahler Show Time down for the Insta Trivia
forty nine er linebacker Fred Warner and Blank are the
only players with ten or more interceptions, ten or more
forced fumbles, and forty or more passes defended since twenty nineteen.

(33:23):
That is the question. The answer, We'll get to that,
and also we'll have the always popular Mallard of the
third degree. We'll get to that. We'll do it next.

Speaker 1 (34:07):
And here's the answers TRIBUTA linebacker, Fred Warner and Blank
the only players with ten or more interceptions, tenor more
forced fumbles, and forty or more passes defended since twenty nineteen.
That the question, what's the answer with Mallard of the
third degree warming up? And who do we have here?
We've got Bob the Builder from Cowboy Killer Nice, nice guest,

Freddy Krueger from Milkman, Mike Steeler Legend, Donald Trump from
I forty Ian. Do you have an answer ready quickly,
Eddie Ah?

Speaker 4 (34:44):
Yes, it's former Redskins and now Bears defensive lineman Montes Sweat.

Speaker 1 (34:52):
No, it is Marlon Humphrey. Marlon Marlon Humphrey is the
in direct answer, the Ravens.

Speaker 3 (35:01):
Against Maller. How about that to the third degree, this
is one big Ben gets grailed all right, Goubelo.

Speaker 6 (35:10):
So the Rams were able to get their second win
of the season over the weekend, and the defense actually
made a positive impact in the game. Cooper Cup is
expected back next week. Do you think the Rams can
still turn their season around?

Speaker 1 (35:21):
Can they? Yes? Do I believe they will? No? I
mean the Rams should be around eight or nine wins,
which will be a fringe wild card contender, but they've
blown a couple of games that they should have won,
the Cardinal game, the Bears game, so that they've already
fed up their season by losing those games. They're gonna
have to make up for that by beating Minnesota this
week or winning against the Eagles later on next.

Speaker 6 (35:45):
So yesterday we talked about how despite the win over
the forty nine ers, that Patrick Mahomes hasn't played very
well at all this season. The Chiefs may be the
only undefeated team remaining. But as of right now, who
do you think is the best team in the NFL.

Speaker 1 (35:58):
Well, if you said, here's one thousand dollars, who's gonna
win the Super Bowl? I'd bet on Kansas City. So
if that's the question, I would take the Chiefs to
win the Super Bowl because of their defense and they'll
figure out a way to get it done on offense.

Speaker 6 (36:09):
Next, a number of former quarterbacks took to social media
to express their outrage that Steve Sarkizian benched Quinn Ewers
for arch manning early in Texas lost to Georgia.

Speaker 1 (36:19):
Ben was that a bad move by sark No. I
was watching this game and the offense was terrible. The
offensive line wasn't playing well. But you supposedly have two
good quarterbacks. Why not make a change. See if it
shakes things. If I had no problem with it, how
we now he passes, That is, they win. You're a
pull on the boy. What the game
