Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's our dumb Bert two as we mix and match
and we talk about the whispers around the NFL that
Sean mcdermot's job is not not in jeopardy in Buffalo.
Where do you come down on that story? We'll analyze it.
Look at the weasel word. Also tyreek Hill defending the
pigskin product, saying the NFL is protecting its players.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Does that theory work for you? From the Cheetah? And
are you surprised.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Zach Ertz was allowed to escape Arizona the tight end.
We'll get to that as well. Come on your way
right and also Mallard of the third degree here it
is our number two. Nothing to worry about. Yeah, that's
the ticket. Wel come, in the beginning of another hour

(01:38):
show me headline from Buffalo, We'll get back to the
Thursday night game in a few of the Cowboys coming
back to beat the Seahawks as Geno Smith gagged down
the stretch.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Last three Seattle drives ended up on turnovers on downs.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
But the headline now from Buffalo the Bill not participating
at least in the playoffs as of now. The Bills
have been a disappointment. That's fair to say. They were
considered a heavyweight in the American Football Conference by many pundons.
The wise guys.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Believed in Buffalo.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
But there are six and six and they are not
a playoff team at this time. There's a lot of chatter,
a lot of chatter about their head coach. So I
thought we'd addressed that now. If you didn't see the latest.
This caught my attention. It came across my radar and
I said, you know what I think this is.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
This is interesting.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I don't know if it counts as wisdom, but The
word on the street and the streets are talking, is
that coach Sean mick dermott is safe, that he's not
not in the hot seat. Now, this story hidden behind
a paywall on the Athletic. A report from the publication
owned by the Old Gray Lady says there is a
(02:55):
quote zero zero percent chance that the Buffalo ownership will
fire McDermott at any point this year. So let us
discuss the question, the whispers going around of Sean McDermott
essentially getting a vote of confidence. Where do you come
(03:15):
down on this one? So I've got the Westminster Kennel Club,
bubble wrap, and crowbar, and we will combine all of
these things together and we are going to make the
chicken wing that was invented in Buffalo at the Anchor Bar.
No one ever had chicken wings, no one ever ate
chicken wings. Chickens didn't even have wings before the Anchor
(03:37):
Bar in Buffalo.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
And I've been there. I've to fine fine establishment. So
number W.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Yeah, I give this report SIDEI because there was some
weasel terminology used in it. The report said that McDermott
would not be fired at any point this year. Well,
today is the first day of December, so the report
is indicating he won't be fired in the next month. Okay, okay,
(04:12):
then the season ends in early January and then he
can be fired, So keep that in mind. Weasel pop
goes the weasel. But the NFL's motto is what not
for long? And while the final manuscript has not been
written for the twenty twenty three Bills, and certainly you
can rewrite the ending right now, it is very foggy.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
It's like a London fog.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
A Sean McDermott has been the Bills coach since twenty seventeen.
The years are starting to pile up and it's like
the Westminster Kennel Dog Show a right, the Westminster Kennel
Club Dog Show. You judge coaches in dog years, So
you do that and if you do the math and
(04:54):
you put it in the calculator and you say an
NFL coach one year is equivalent to a dog gear,
So it's like seven human years or something like that
for an NFL head coach, I think is actually more
than that, So the numbers I came up with.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
McDermott has been the.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Coach in Buffalo in dog years for over sixty years,
and while certainly McDermott is not on a Ron rivera
Bill Belichick level hot seat, his tushy is getting pushied
out the door.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
The way things are going in Buffalo, all right now, page.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Two from Opinion Land. From Opinion Land, now, Dolphins start
Tyreek Hill, better known as the Cheetah Cheata cheata cheatah,
but not an a one thousand and two one thousand
whole type of cheetah, not the a holes in Houston,
different kind of cheetah kind of runs. So Dolphins start
Tyreek Hill disagreeing with the viral comments of Tom Brady.
(05:53):
Remember Brady a few days ago said there's a lot
of mediocrity in today's NFL.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
It was better back at everyone says that. So here's
the deal. The quote from Tyreek Hill.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
He says, I wouldn't say that it's because become mediocre.
I wouldn't say that that it's become mediocre, He'll said.
I would just say that the NFL is trying to
do a better job of just protecting its product, which
is obviously the players, Tyreek Hill stated. He went on
to say, I know we say no fund league all
(06:29):
the time, but I think this is the best way
to be able to play football.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
He'll state it.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
I think it's safe for guys to not fully get
their heads taken on close quotes. All right, So Tyreek
Hill defending the product in the NFL circa twenty twenty three,
saying that the NFL is just protecting its players. Does
that response work for you? Does that response work for you?
And so I'll go first, and I'm gonna have n
(06:58):
and can I Can I get a O? And and
oh and that would be no, that would be no.
It doesn't pass the nose test. Yeah, I have a
big schnazole. It does not pass the schnazzola test. It's
poor quality control. We talked in an earlier hour about
the officiating and it was just dreadful in the Thursday
(07:20):
night NFL game.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Ridiculous amount of penalties that did not all of them
need to be.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Called, considering many of them were judgment calls subjective, not objective.
But of course the Cheetah is going to defend the
NFL on this. It is his generation. He's going to
defend what he knows, because to say that it's a
worse product now than it was ten or fifteen years
ago is saying that your inferior.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
In my entire life.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
I remember when I started and there were old time
players I started covering, like basketball. I covered basketball a
lot back in the million years ago, in the nineties,
and there were guys from the seventies and the eighties
that ripped the players in the nineties and said they
were soft and they didn't know what they were doing.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
And you know, the game had changed.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
And as time has gone on in the two thousands,
the players in the nineties then ripped the players in
the two thousands, and then when we got to the
twenty tens, the players in the two thousands said, oh.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
It was better back in our day. Man. You guys
just thrown how to play. And it's just that that's
always how it works. That's justistic the way it works.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
But Brady's argument, of course, was that the players self
regulated the violence. They protected each other, and now it's
big brother, it's it's meddling with oversight and rules and regulations.
And Tom also ripped the scheme based coaching, which is
another way of talking about analytics. A lot of the
(08:43):
scheme based coaching is analytics, and that tells you what
has happened the past. All of analytics are based on
probabilities based on what has happened, not necessarily what's going
to happen.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
There's always squiggly lines.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
As we say, when it comes to analytics, and it's
not root in reality. If you will, because it might
work out in baseball, it works during the regular season
in football.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
There are teams that have success with.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
The analytics, follow the big numbers from the science world
and all that, but it doesn't guarantee anything. Our final
point headline from the Transaction Wire, the Transaction Wire the Cardinals. Yeah,
that's a football team and a baseball team. The Cardinals
have waived veteran tight end zach Ertz. Hang on, this
(09:29):
guy used to be good. If you have a wayback
machine man, was he a good player back in the day?
Ertz caught just twenty seven passes this season before getting
hurt one touchdown, averaging a anemic six point nine yards
per reception that is almost two yards off his production
(09:51):
last season. Now, the reporting says that the reason this
happened zach Ertz's goal is to play in relevancy and
he knows that the Cardinals are not relevant. So are
you surprised that zach Ertz was allowed to escape Arizona.
(10:11):
So I actually am surprised because this is not normally
part of the decorum in the NFL. This is a
page out of the Pro Bouncy Ball playbook, is what
it is, and what I mean by that. The trade
deadline passes. In basketball, it's a contract buy out season,
and I've talked to people in the NBA, and I'm like,
(10:32):
what are you doing? Why would you buy this guy
out to help out?
Speaker 5 (10:36):
You know?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Another thing I remember years ago, I think it was,
there's a GM named Billy Knight, I believe was the
guy's name.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
He was the GM of the Atlanta Hawks.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
And if I remember correctly, and I could be completely
making this up and getting it totally wrong, but as
I remember it, I think it was Actually I think
it might have been Gary Payton, who like they acquired,
but I don't know if he ever played for them,
but they bought him out.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
It was a guard, I remember it was a guard.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
And he ended up going to I believe it was
the Celtics, and I at the time it was like
kind of a big story.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
I was like, well, I happened to.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Run into him and I said, what are you doing?
And he explained to me how this is how we
do things here.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
We we love our players, and.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
I was like, well that's what And I'm thinking now,
like that's not how they do it in football, the
contract buyout that this is a foreign topic of conversation.
It's not even about zach Ertz because he's not good.
But he was able to take the metaphorical crowbar to
escape from the dungeon in Arizona. And now, assuming he
does not get snatched up on waivers on the waiver wire,
(11:41):
he will be free to roam about the country. And
we don't need to spin the wheel of speculation because
the answer, there's only one acceptable answer. Zach Ertz wants
to play for one team, and one team only. He
wants to go to another Bird based team, the Angry Bird.
It's his old squad, the Philadelphia football team, the Eagles,
(12:05):
and that's it.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
I don't want to play for anybody.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I might end up having to play for somebody else,
but this is a move to go back to Philadelphia.
Dallas godd at the tight end there has been dinged
up this season. So the question also is does zach
Ertz have anything left? And it certainly appears. No, he
is a car that has three tires at this point,
he's missing that fourth tire. But we have seen what
(12:28):
we call the dead cat bounce, where you drop a
dead cat, it's gonna bounce. You drop a dead player
on a good team, and he might have a good
game or two.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
It may happen.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Wouldn't bet on it happening, but it's conceivable that it
would happen. All right's the Ben Malor Show. As we
continue on speakeasy rules back in effect. But if you
would like to call in and take a bow and
scream and shout, you want to talk about that Thursday
night game where the Cowboys came back and won, but
they certainly showed a lot of weaknesses, that soft underbelly.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Of the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
You can give us a buzz also on X at
Ben Malor, that is at Ben Mallor if you would
like to be part phenom among the rookie class. There
have been a couple of good players in the rookie
class in the NFL. Pooka Nakoua with the Rams. But
the guy's getting all the love is CJ. Stroud, the
Texans quarterback and I've called him mister perfect. He hasn't
(13:19):
made any mistakes. Here, Everyone eat, drink and be merry
watching c J. Stroud play quarterback.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Well, he has finally made a mistake.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
CJ. Stroud has finally screwed up. Hoo, goofed. I've got
to know how did they go. We'll get to that
and we.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Will do it.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
I know we're not talking food here because it's a
sports radio show. Did you see that McDonald's overhauled the
Big Mac though. No, yeah, they're changing the Big Mac.
They're claiming they have to compete with like five guys,
so they're changing the iconic Big Mac.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Complete, that's not a total makeover, but it's I'm since
and I love McDonald's.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
I see the McDonald's all the time.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
I don't eat there much anymore because I don't eat much,
but I did sense some weasel terminology for McDonald's because
the changes. Listen close to see if you can figure
out what the weasel of terminology is. Two smaller cooked
all beef patties, more special sauce, fresher lettuce, cheese, and pickles.
Speaker 8 (16:11):
Hold on smaller.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Yeah, that's that's that.
Speaker 9 (16:15):
That's the term, exactly, exactly a small Mac for quite
some time now taking bad.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Well, that's the Big Mac, and that's of the Big Mac. Though,
But this does sound you.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Know what this is.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
It's shrink it's shrink flation disguised. It's shrink flation disguises.
We're making the burger better. We're gonna compete with smash
Burger and all these other people and five guys, and
in and out.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
I'm like, eh, well, you know what that means.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Eventually they'll just bring back the original Big Mac will
be coming back, but they'll charge like seven dollars more
for it because it has a decent amount of meat.
So anyway, we are talking all all random NFL things.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
The Thursday night game in full effect. It's very tasty.
But yeah, I'm not that meat. I'm not a vegetarian.
I know you are.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Some of you are, and that's fine. It's very tasty
to each their own. Let's see here, who do we
have pays now? Chris in the more and says, hey, Ben,
have a great show. I'm just getting home too drunk
to listen.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Bad job by me.
Speaker 9 (17:17):
Must be pretty drunk, hocky, What does that mean you're
passed out? Well, don't make any sense, English becomes he
sent a message. So I mean, since my guy Chris.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Man ferk Doug says, why in the world would anyone
pay to read the athletics bad takes when they can
hear you with good takes for free?
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Boggles the mind?
Speaker 5 (17:38):
Ben.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Yeah, well, I just for the record, I do not
pay for the athletic. The company pays for the athletic. Hell,
yes they do, and I have used the password that
the company provides, so otherwise I would not listen.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
I'm the cheapest sob you know.
Speaker 9 (17:54):
Isn't like ninety cents a month or something, and it's
not very expensive, right, Well.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
All those newspapers are like ninety cents a month or
something like that, but nobody's really paying for them. But
it's like like X, you know, the Elon's charging for that.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
I don't pay for that.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
And then if they charge for everyone to use it,
I won't pay for it. So yeah, it's like it's
a thing once you get something for free, you don't
want to pay for And the Internet when it began,
everything was free and some people try to charge for it.
Speaker 8 (18:20):
And it's you know, no, I Ben, I was saying,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry I interrupted you there.
Speaker 9 (18:26):
Yeah, I subscribed to a local Iowa newspaper and I
pay waved way too much.
Speaker 8 (18:31):
I guess compared to those others.
Speaker 9 (18:32):
But I feel like I'm supporting like a local Iowa newspaper, so.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
You're giving back.
Speaker 9 (18:37):
It's an active to ten dollars a month. Ten dollars
a month the most month. That is the most you
thing I have ever heard of my life. What's wrong
with but listen and it's I'm not gonna name them,
but they've been a part of my life and they
have an incredible coverage of Iowa sports. So I'm happy
to shell out that one hundred and twenty a year
wow to pay, Like, what is that really pay? It
(18:59):
pays like one since daily, like half of their wage
a day. I don't even know I subscribed to the newspaper.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
What is the report that there was a pwel that
got loose Offrom mcgilla Cutty's farm.
Speaker 5 (19:09):
Do you think?
Speaker 9 (19:12):
Well, you know, Andy and I have we both love
like snail mail and newspaper clippings. And Eddie, by the way,
you have like ninety letters. I'm an idiot.
Speaker 8 (19:20):
I don't know much you have about ninety letters from
Eddie Andy Becker.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
The reason is he has those year.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
I'm gonna I'm gonna gather those and make a bonfire
at the end of the year.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Speaking of snail mail, our friend from Montana, remember the
high school coach, listens to the show and all that
he's going to send his hats ner hats. Well, he
told me he sent the hats like a week ago.
Did he send them by pony Express?
Speaker 5 (19:44):
Like?
Speaker 1 (19:44):
What what happened, you know.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Well, it's the it's however long the transit is from
where the listener to us, and then you got to
add like another week on top of that, for it's
come from the mail room down to us.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
I don't even know where the mail room is.
Speaker 8 (19:59):
That's why.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
That's why it's like it used to be fine, because
back in the day, I would just go up to
the mail myself.
Speaker 8 (20:04):
Oh me to go up there right now and pulk around.
I think I can get it.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
I don't.
Speaker 8 (20:07):
I don't know where it is anymore. It's I think
it's on the fourth floor.
Speaker 5 (20:10):
We need you here, Sam.
Speaker 9 (20:11):
You can't you think it's on the fourth floor because
I've walked to say, yeah, Sam to Claus could find
these hats. I'm so I'm telling you Sam to Clause,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
We'll have to find the hats, he said. He sent
me a message.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
The guy's like, hey, well, have we even checked like
near Eddie's office for any I didn't.
Speaker 8 (20:26):
I checked yesterday, and I don't know there's any boxes
or anything.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
I mean I walked by it on the my way
in here, so I would notice it.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Yeah, all right, Well, so hopefully you don't need me here, Eddie.
Speaker 8 (20:34):
I could just leave for twenty minutes and go find
the hats.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
It used to be great because I would go into
the mail room at iHeart and there'd be you know,
this is years ago, and there was like a whole
wall of mail for Rush Limbaugh and like Mario Lopez
and yeah, Steve Steve Harvey, usually free books that they.
Speaker 8 (20:50):
Just wanted to eat.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
The Fox Sports radio side of the mail room was
just letters from Andy Fourman to work here. Rather depressing,
but yeah, it was all from Andy the Cincinnati radio
legend legend and Andy Furman. My favorite Andy Furman story
is the fact that Andy Furman is the guy, the
originator that had Chris Collinsworth race a horse.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
That was that was his that was his deal. I'm
an idiot. How great is that he came up with that?
Speaker 2 (21:21):
He had the promotion Chris Collinsworth when he was playing
for the Bengals race a horse.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
How awesome is that? And then years a few years ago.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
It's probably been a while that maybe ten years, maybe
more than that, o Cho Sinko Chad Johnson recreated the
moment and raced a horse.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Of course, of course, incredible.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Yeah, mac, I would like to race a sloth? Can
we set that up? I was saying, mallard versus a sloth?
Speaker 8 (21:50):
Yeah, wouldn't that be good?
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Mala versus a panda bear sloth.
Speaker 9 (21:56):
You'd have you'd have to like get it like army
crawl because the sloth you gotta be. It's gonna be
someone competitive. Slots can be moving really.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
So it doesn't have to be competitive at all. Now,
Ozzie was in Western Australia, out where no one lives
in Australia, but he listens to our show. He sent
me a message, talked about this on the podcast. He
sent me a video of and this is a few
years ago koala bears fighting and it's the funniest thing
you watch. And it has the koala bears are fighting
(22:23):
with each other and one of them is like running
after the other one and it's like watching a stuffed
animal run.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
It was awesome.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
It's surprising because they're usually stoned because of the eucalyptics
exactly that they eat.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Yeah, they're like the one of the laziest in the
top ten laziest animals.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Yeah, would be there.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
We went to a zoo in Sydney when I went
to Australia and we went and you know, hung out
with the Kualas and they're just cope with love them.
They're stoned to the be Jesus though. They just sit
there on a tree and chew their leaves.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Don't they sleep eighteen hours a day or something like that?
Speaker 8 (22:54):
Some of they did the life life of That sounds great.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Yeah, just sleeping eighteen hours.
Speaker 8 (23:00):
That's too much sleep.
Speaker 5 (23:01):
That's good.
Speaker 9 (23:01):
You're gonna be tired. You're gonna sleep eighteen hours because
you're tired all the time.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Your body will probably hurt, be hurting from being in bed.
Speaker 9 (23:07):
Have you ever done that? If you're I've slept too
long in like my back hurts. I'm like, I gotta
get out of bed. This is horrible.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Nah, but I have slept where I like, maybe I
sleep on my side and my shoulder hurts or something
like that.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
That's happened. I hate that.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
JJ from Renton writes, and he says, I do not
understand why Pete Carroll continues to keep starting Gino Smith.
He is a backup quarterback at the most. Plus e
effing sucks. JJ's hitting the sauce tonight. Just bench the
dude already for Christ's sake, that's good sauce.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Well, thank you, JJ, I'm glad that you checked in.
We have not heard.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Can we do a wellness check on our guy Nostradinas
and crying Craig and Emmett the blind Seahawk fan and
all that blind emme at the Seahawks fan. Can we
I haven't heard from those guys now, JJ did check in.
But the problem and you know this, JJ, even though
you're completely probably hammered right now, but you know this
when you sober up up that the reason Seattle cannot
(24:02):
right now bench Gino Smith is because they have the
other backup they have as a third string quarter So
Gino is a second string quarterback, which is not particularly good.
But then Drew Locke the other quarterback that's a third stringer,
so that would be a downgrade. And I saw Drew
Locke play and that was at the Rams Seahawk game
(24:22):
a few weeks ago, and Gino came out of the
game played played well early, kind of like this game.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
He played well early and then he got hurt and
you didn't play that.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Well in the second half, got hurt, and Seattle lost
because of their idiot kicker, their idiot kicker.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 5 (24:42):
Back to the NFL, and we had a high profile
player in some hot water, potentially Bill's linebacker Von Miller,
facing rest on allegations of domestic violence police. He did
turn himself into police. They're in the Dallas areas.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
My week going for the Bills, Eddie.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
Not great, not great. The report is that he he
put his hands on the children.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Child. That's a that's a no fly zone.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
But he was Yeah, they were fighting with each claim
he pushed her and put his hands around her neck,
and so there you go. Chances this ends up in
actual criminal charges, like like legitimately, or they just stand
up like commerheads prevail.
Speaker 8 (25:26):
Well, she is now trying to downplay it. I saw it.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
I saw an update from the New York Post where
she is. In the post, she she texted with I
guess a radio station and said, uh, we're fine. Things
were blown way out of context. This is actually outrageous,
and she described a verbal disagreement and a huge misunderstanding. Uh,
(25:52):
no one assaulted anyone. She wrote, this is insane and sad.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Now, isn't the story, Coop.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
We've we've had these stories in the past, and I've
had dudes that have been arrested tell me that if
the police show up to a domestic violence thing that
usually somebody ends up getting dinged.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
I've heard that usually it's the guy. He wasn't even there, right, he.
Speaker 8 (26:13):
Wasn't even there when when they came.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
If they find evidence that there was a physical conversation
man versus woman, well, see, that's the thing.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
I don't know how this is going to turn out
because there's those texts that she's sending to the radio station,
but they also have audio of the nine one one
call where she's saying, he pulled my hair out. I
have like some blood on me, but not like yeah,
I don't know where the it was the exact quote there,
but she had bruises.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
All over her.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
So von Miller's got he's got a lot of money,
so you can afford a good attorneys. And I'm assuming
this is his baby mama drama?
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Is that what this is about? Soon to be baby
mama drama? So I guess that you want.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
To protect protect the nest egg, right, because Vaughan could
play a couple more years.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
But who knows.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
If he hit her, that's you shouldn't do that if
you get in trouble. But if he didn't hit her
and they were just like wrangling, you know, it was
a verbal thing and there was a light contact.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
But who know, I don't know. We'll see see what happens.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Incidental contact, incidental, that's right, any incidental contact.
Speaker 1 (27:21):

Speaker 1 (27:47):
Recently.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
C J.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Stroud announced that the.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Women of Los Angeles are better than the women of Houston.

a hot.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Taken the women of.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
La Are And he's you know, he's from southern California,
so that would make sense that he would appreciate the
Southern California woman as opposed to the Houstonian woman.
Speaker 10 (28:15):
But yeah, yeah, a woman there are my experience, there
are beautiful women ever where I've been, just some places
don't have as many.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
But you know, there's certain.

Certain things about that. But hey whatever, it's like going
to an ice cream shop.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Whatever you like there, you know, the east your own
why not.

thing about Dad Gummett is he makes friends with everyone.
Dad Gummett is just everyone's friend, even if you don't want.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
To be his friend. Who will force you to be
his friend? I love this quote from Jabrill Peppers.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Of the New England Patriots, the honest pat We're gonna
call him the honest pat And he supposedly went up
in this I guess audio this Jabrill Peppers went up
to the giant Sequon Barkley, and after the game when
the Patriots lost because of their idiot kicker and whatnot,
he told Barkley, the Patriot Gribrill Peppers told Saquon Barkley
(32:27):
that you lucky.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
We asked was the quote? Now, that is a deep thought.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
That is wonderful, So tremendous job by Jabil Peppers, very honest,
honest man. We have mallard of a third degree that
is percolating right now. We're warming that up. Time for
the install trivia and I hear it is Blank has
completed just twenty eight percent of his passes from the
ten yard line in the red zone there a ten
(32:57):
yard liner, which is not even the red zones closer
than that the past two seasons. The next worst among
thirty five players with twenty or more attempts is Matt
Ryan at thirty seven percent. Again insta trivia, Blank has
completed twenty eight point eight percent of their passes from
the ten yard line into the goal line ten yard liner.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Closer past two years.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
The next worst is a guy that's no longer playing,
Matt Ryan, the TV analyst, at thirty seven percent.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
That is the instad trivia the answer. We'll get to it.
We will do it next. I went out and met
him at a truck stop. For God's sake, that's true.
I did. That's right.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
Just for the record, Eddie, we'll get to the Insta
trivia and then we'll also have Mallard with a third degree.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
So that sound bite you, I assume you did you
play an enter to Sam.
Speaker 5 (34:23):
I did not play a samplayer.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Okay, so there's this.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
This goes back probably to two thousand and two or
it's like twenty years old. I was doing updates in
the newsroom and I was monitoring a Sacramento Kings game
and Gary Jerrold, the play by play guy for the Kings,
do we have the sound bite?
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Iowa, Sam, this is how he described a play.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
And I listen and my eyeballs popped out of my
head and I had to put this in the system,
and it's still in the system. This is my Sacramento
Kings game over. I want to say, over twenty years ago,
take a list, he.
Speaker 10 (34:56):
Got banged and went over the store stable.
Speaker 11 (34:58):
Then in the next sequence he took a knee in
the five.
Speaker 9 (35:04):
So let's see, he didn't say the guys name Chris
Weber still playing for the Kings then, or was he
on the team?
Speaker 1 (35:12):
I think that? Why else where we record a Sacramento
Kings game.
Speaker 8 (35:14):
Right at that time, like you know the Queens and you.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Know, yeah, they had really good teams in Sacramento for
a Cup the last time they were competitive.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
But Io Turklou was on the Kings.
Speaker 8 (35:25):
Voddy Deep, great name he do Turklou?
Speaker 1 (35:28):
Those are pretty good names. Here's the answer trivia.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
So Blank has completed just twenty eight point eight percent
of his passes from the ten yard line in or
closer last two seasons. That the player that is the
next worst among thirty five players that qualify with twenty
or more attempts is Matt Ryan, who has since retired.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
That is the question.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
What's the answer, Jeremy in Minnesota says, in honor of
Cowboy Dan Dak Prescott is the answer, Derek Zulander from
Cowboy Killer.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Who else do we have from Fergdog?
Speaker 2 (36:02):
A good knowledge of pac Man with inkey helmet Man
guessed by the Late Night Drug tester Daffy Dark from
Mark in Santa Monica. Tom Henke Blue Jay's Legend, I
also played for the Cardinals from Mister Nice Guy. Derek
Carr from Matt the Warrior Raider fan. If I'm not mistaken,
Tom Henkey was on the mound when the last game
was ever forfeited in Major League Baseball Cardinals Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
I was at that game. I covered it at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Rumors of the ville, says Russell Wilson or California Governor
Gavin Newsom.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Don't get me started with Newsom. Who else do we have?
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Larry Wayne Chipper Jones from Alf the Alien Old Planter,
legally Blind Brett. There's an old school name from Shane
in Des Moines, Gary Hogeboom from Sean Eddie.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
Do you have an answer?
Speaker 2 (36:45):
It's not Billy Volleck guessed by Ike in Roseville, Minnesota.
Speaker 5 (36:48):
Now I'm gonna go with former Bills quarterback JP Lossman.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
Good name, but that's incorrect.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
Also not Felipe Belou from Big Brig Rob correct answer.
Derek Carr of the Saints. Derek Carr not getting her done?
What I know he went to Fresno State, Eddie, but
it's smaller.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
How about that?
Speaker 6 (37:09):
To the third degree, this is one big Ben gets
grilled Coop dalup.
Speaker 4 (37:18):
Earlier this week, the Warriors blew ay twenty four point
lead to the Kings that put them at eight and ten.
They weren't able to be the lowly Clippers last night,
but they're still under five hundred on the season.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
That way, I mean.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
People, that's why people don't trust the media.
Speaker 4 (37:33):
I'm saying it's nothing to be proud of. They're still
under five hundred. Yes, Ben du Loup, how would you loop?
How would you diagnose what's wrong with the Warriors?
Speaker 1 (37:41):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
They look pretty good against the Clippers, but I wi watch,
I would say Clay Thompson is the obvious one.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
He's broken.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
He's just not anywhere near being an all star level
player like he was. He had the knee, the achilles injuries.
And he's not a splash brother.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
He's a brick brother. Andrew Wiggins has also not been
the greatest.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
It's just like the backup guys haven't been that because
there's a lot of suck right now with the Warriors.
Speaker 4 (38:08):
Next and stop me if You've heard this before, but
there are reports that this could be the year that
Jim Harbaugh makes his return to the NFL. Oh, absolutely, Ben,
are you buying the reports this time around?
Speaker 5 (38:18):
Well?
Speaker 2 (38:19):
Every year I do the same monologue. I have it saved.
It's Jim Harbaugh is going to coach the Chicago Bears.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
So I'll do it again this year.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
Jim Harball is going to coach the Chicago Bears or
the Carolina Panthers or the Chargers.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
Absolutely, he's done.
Speaker 4 (38:31):
Next now, Tyreek Kill made a recent podcast appearance. I
believe you talked about a quote that he made on there.
Another quote that he made is he said that the
talent on this Dolphins team is actually better than the
twenty nineteen Chiefs team that he won the Super Bowl with, Ben,
how would you compare the team's talent wise?
Speaker 2 (38:47):
Oh, the Chiefs are better because of Patrick Mahomes. That's
the art of manifestation from Tyreek Hilt. The Mahome Mahomes
is better than He's obviously better.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
How do we do you pass? That's a win? What's
Sam Dulu
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's our dumb Bert two as we mix and match
and we talk about the whispers around the NFL that
Sean mcdermot's job is not not in jeopardy in Buffalo.
Where do you come down on that story? We'll analyze it.
Look at the weasel word. Also tyreek Hill defending the
pigskin product, saying the NFL is protecting its players.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Does that theory work for you? From the Cheetah? And
are you surprised.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Zach Ertz was allowed to escape Arizona the tight end.
We'll get to that as well. Come on your way
right and also Mallard of the third degree here it
is our number two. Nothing to worry about. Yeah, that's
the ticket. Wel come, in the beginning of another hour
(00:50):
of the Ben Malord Show.

(01:38):
show me headline from Buffalo, We'll get back to the
Thursday night game in a few of the Cowboys coming
back to beat the Seahawks as Geno Smith gagged down
the stretch.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Last three Seattle drives ended up on turnovers on downs.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
But the headline now from Buffalo the Bill not participating
at least in the playoffs as of now. The Bills
have been a disappointment. That's fair to say. They were
considered a heavyweight in the American Football Conference by many pundons.
The wise guys.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Believed in Buffalo.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
But there are six and six and they are not
a playoff team at this time. There's a lot of chatter,
a lot of chatter about their head coach. So I
thought we'd addressed that now. If you didn't see the latest.
This caught my attention. It came across my radar and
I said, you know what I think this is.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
This is interesting.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I don't know if it counts as wisdom, but The
word on the street and the streets are talking, is
that coach Sean mick dermott is safe, that he's not
not in the hot seat. Now, this story hidden behind
a paywall on the Athletic. A report from the publication
owned by the Old Gray Lady says there is a
(02:55):
quote zero zero percent chance that the Buffalo ownership will
fire McDermott at any point this year. So let us
discuss the question, the whispers going around of Sean McDermott
essentially getting a vote of confidence. Where do you come
(03:15):
down on this one? So I've got the Westminster Kennel Club,
bubble wrap, and crowbar, and we will combine all of
these things together and we are going to make the
chicken wing that was invented in Buffalo at the Anchor Bar.
No one ever had chicken wings, no one ever ate
chicken wings. Chickens didn't even have wings before the Anchor
(03:37):
Bar in Buffalo.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
And I've been there. I've to fine fine establishment. So
number W.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Yeah, I give this report SIDEI because there was some
weasel terminology used in it. The report said that McDermott
would not be fired at any point this year. Well,
today is the first day of December, so the report
is indicating he won't be fired in the next month. Okay, okay,
(04:12):
then the season ends in early January and then he
can be fired, So keep that in mind. Weasel pop
goes the weasel. But the NFL's motto is what not
for long? And while the final manuscript has not been
written for the twenty twenty three Bills, and certainly you
can rewrite the ending right now, it is very foggy.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
It's like a London fog.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
A Sean McDermott has been the Bills coach since twenty seventeen.
The years are starting to pile up and it's like
the Westminster Kennel Dog Show a right, the Westminster Kennel
Club Dog Show. You judge coaches in dog years, So
you do that and if you do the math and
(04:54):
you put it in the calculator and you say an
NFL coach one year is equivalent to a dog gear,
So it's like seven human years or something like that
for an NFL head coach, I think is actually more
than that, So the numbers I came up with.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
McDermott has been the.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Coach in Buffalo in dog years for over sixty years,
and while certainly McDermott is not on a Ron rivera
Bill Belichick level hot seat, his tushy is getting pushied
out the door.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
The way things are going in Buffalo, all right now, page.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Two from Opinion Land. From Opinion Land, now, Dolphins start
Tyreek Hill, better known as the Cheetah Cheata cheata cheatah,
but not an a one thousand and two one thousand
whole type of cheetah, not the a holes in Houston,
different kind of cheetah kind of runs. So Dolphins start
Tyreek Hill disagreeing with the viral comments of Tom Brady.
(05:53):
Remember Brady a few days ago said there's a lot
of mediocrity in today's NFL.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
It was better back at everyone says that. So here's
the deal. The quote from Tyreek Hill.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
He says, I wouldn't say that it's because become mediocre.
I wouldn't say that that it's become mediocre, He'll said.
I would just say that the NFL is trying to
do a better job of just protecting its product, which
is obviously the players, Tyreek Hill stated. He went on
to say, I know we say no fund league all
(06:29):
the time, but I think this is the best way
to be able to play football.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
He'll state it.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
I think it's safe for guys to not fully get
their heads taken on close quotes. All right, So Tyreek
Hill defending the product in the NFL circa twenty twenty three,
saying that the NFL is just protecting its players. Does
that response work for you? Does that response work for you?
And so I'll go first, and I'm gonna have n
(06:58):
and can I Can I get a O? And and
oh and that would be no, that would be no.
It doesn't pass the nose test. Yeah, I have a
big schnazole. It does not pass the schnazzola test. It's
poor quality control. We talked in an earlier hour about
the officiating and it was just dreadful in the Thursday
(07:20):
night NFL game.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Ridiculous amount of penalties that did not all of them
need to be.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Called, considering many of them were judgment calls subjective, not objective.
But of course the Cheetah is going to defend the
NFL on this. It is his generation. He's going to
defend what he knows, because to say that it's a
worse product now than it was ten or fifteen years
ago is saying that your inferior.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
In my entire life.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
I remember when I started and there were old time
players I started covering, like basketball. I covered basketball a
lot back in the million years ago, in the nineties,
and there were guys from the seventies and the eighties
that ripped the players in the nineties and said they
were soft and they didn't know what they were doing.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
And you know, the game had changed.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
And as time has gone on in the two thousands,
the players in the nineties then ripped the players in
the two thousands, and then when we got to the
twenty tens, the players in the two thousands said, oh.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
It was better back in our day. Man. You guys
just thrown how to play. And it's just that that's
always how it works. That's justistic the way it works.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
But Brady's argument, of course, was that the players self
regulated the violence. They protected each other, and now it's
big brother, it's it's meddling with oversight and rules and regulations.
And Tom also ripped the scheme based coaching, which is
another way of talking about analytics. A lot of the
(08:43):
scheme based coaching is analytics, and that tells you what
has happened the past. All of analytics are based on
probabilities based on what has happened, not necessarily what's going
to happen.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
There's always squiggly lines.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
As we say, when it comes to analytics, and it's
not root in reality. If you will, because it might
work out in baseball, it works during the regular season
in football.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
There are teams that have success with.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
The analytics, follow the big numbers from the science world
and all that, but it doesn't guarantee anything. Our final
point headline from the Transaction Wire, the Transaction Wire the Cardinals. Yeah,
that's a football team and a baseball team. The Cardinals
have waived veteran tight end zach Ertz. Hang on, this
(09:29):
guy used to be good. If you have a wayback
machine man, was he a good player back in the day?
Ertz caught just twenty seven passes this season before getting
hurt one touchdown, averaging a anemic six point nine yards
per reception that is almost two yards off his production
(09:51):
last season. Now, the reporting says that the reason this
happened zach Ertz's goal is to play in relevancy and
he knows that the Cardinals are not relevant. So are
you surprised that zach Ertz was allowed to escape Arizona.
(10:11):
So I actually am surprised because this is not normally
part of the decorum in the NFL. This is a
page out of the Pro Bouncy Ball playbook, is what
it is, and what I mean by that. The trade
deadline passes. In basketball, it's a contract buy out season,
and I've talked to people in the NBA, and I'm like,
(10:32):
what are you doing? Why would you buy this guy
out to help out?
Speaker 5 (10:36):
You know?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Another thing I remember years ago, I think it was,
there's a GM named Billy Knight, I believe was the
guy's name.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
He was the GM of the Atlanta Hawks.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
And if I remember correctly, and I could be completely
making this up and getting it totally wrong, but as
I remember it, I think it was Actually I think
it might have been Gary Payton, who like they acquired,
but I don't know if he ever played for them,
but they bought him out.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
It was a guard, I remember it was a guard.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
And he ended up going to I believe it was
the Celtics, and I at the time it was like
kind of a big story.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
I was like, well, I happened to.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Run into him and I said, what are you doing?
And he explained to me how this is how we
do things here.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
We we love our players, and.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
I was like, well that's what And I'm thinking now,
like that's not how they do it in football, the
contract buyout that this is a foreign topic of conversation.
It's not even about zach Ertz because he's not good.
But he was able to take the metaphorical crowbar to
escape from the dungeon in Arizona. And now, assuming he
does not get snatched up on waivers on the waiver wire,
(11:41):
he will be free to roam about the country. And
we don't need to spin the wheel of speculation because
the answer, there's only one acceptable answer. Zach Ertz wants
to play for one team, and one team only. He
wants to go to another Bird based team, the Angry Bird.
It's his old squad, the Philadelphia football team, the Eagles,
(12:05):
and that's it.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
I don't want to play for anybody.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I might end up having to play for somebody else,
but this is a move to go back to Philadelphia.
Dallas godd at the tight end there has been dinged
up this season. So the question also is does zach
Ertz have anything left? And it certainly appears. No, he
is a car that has three tires at this point,
he's missing that fourth tire. But we have seen what
(12:28):
we call the dead cat bounce, where you drop a
dead cat, it's gonna bounce. You drop a dead player
on a good team, and he might have a good
game or two.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
It may happen.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Wouldn't bet on it happening, but it's conceivable that it
would happen. All right's the Ben Malor Show. As we
continue on speakeasy rules back in effect. But if you
would like to call in and take a bow and
scream and shout, you want to talk about that Thursday
night game where the Cowboys came back and won, but
they certainly showed a lot of weaknesses, that soft underbelly.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Of the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
You can give us a buzz also on X at
Ben Malor, that is at Ben Mallor if you would
like to be part phenom among the rookie class. There
have been a couple of good players in the rookie
class in the NFL. Pooka Nakoua with the Rams. But
the guy's getting all the love is CJ. Stroud, the
Texans quarterback and I've called him mister perfect. He hasn't
(13:19):
made any mistakes. Here, Everyone eat, drink and be merry
watching c J. Stroud play quarterback.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Well, he has finally made a mistake.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
CJ. Stroud has finally screwed up. Hoo, goofed. I've got
to know how did they go. We'll get to that
and we.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Will do it.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
I know we're not talking food here because it's a
sports radio show. Did you see that McDonald's overhauled the
Big Mac though. No, yeah, they're changing the Big Mac.
They're claiming they have to compete with like five guys,
so they're changing the iconic Big Mac.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Complete, that's not a total makeover, but it's I'm since
and I love McDonald's.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
I see the McDonald's all the time.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
I don't eat there much anymore because I don't eat much,
but I did sense some weasel terminology for McDonald's because
the changes. Listen close to see if you can figure
out what the weasel of terminology is. Two smaller cooked
all beef patties, more special sauce, fresher lettuce, cheese, and pickles.
Speaker 8 (16:11):
Hold on smaller.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Yeah, that's that's that.
Speaker 9 (16:15):
That's the term, exactly, exactly a small Mac for quite
some time now taking bad.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Well, that's the Big Mac, and that's of the Big Mac. Though,
But this does sound you.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Know what this is.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
It's shrink it's shrink flation disguised. It's shrink flation disguises.
We're making the burger better. We're gonna compete with smash
Burger and all these other people and five guys, and
in and out.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
I'm like, eh, well, you know what that means.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Eventually they'll just bring back the original Big Mac will
be coming back, but they'll charge like seven dollars more
for it because it has a decent amount of meat.
So anyway, we are talking all all random NFL things.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
The Thursday night game in full effect. It's very tasty.
But yeah, I'm not that meat. I'm not a vegetarian.
I know you are.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Some of you are, and that's fine. It's very tasty
to each their own. Let's see here, who do we
have pays now? Chris in the more and says, hey, Ben,
have a great show. I'm just getting home too drunk
to listen.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Bad job by me.
Speaker 9 (17:17):
Must be pretty drunk, hocky, What does that mean you're
passed out? Well, don't make any sense, English becomes he
sent a message. So I mean, since my guy Chris.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Man ferk Doug says, why in the world would anyone
pay to read the athletics bad takes when they can
hear you with good takes for free?
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Boggles the mind?
Speaker 5 (17:38):
Ben.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Yeah, well, I just for the record, I do not
pay for the athletic. The company pays for the athletic. Hell,
yes they do, and I have used the password that
the company provides, so otherwise I would not listen.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
I'm the cheapest sob you know.
Speaker 9 (17:54):
Isn't like ninety cents a month or something, and it's
not very expensive, right, Well.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
All those newspapers are like ninety cents a month or
something like that, but nobody's really paying for them. But
it's like like X, you know, the Elon's charging for that.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
I don't pay for that.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
And then if they charge for everyone to use it,
I won't pay for it. So yeah, it's like it's
a thing once you get something for free, you don't
want to pay for And the Internet when it began,
everything was free and some people try to charge for it.
Speaker 8 (18:20):
And it's you know, no, I Ben, I was saying,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry I interrupted you there.
Speaker 9 (18:26):
Yeah, I subscribed to a local Iowa newspaper and I
pay waved way too much.
Speaker 8 (18:31):
I guess compared to those others.
Speaker 9 (18:32):
But I feel like I'm supporting like a local Iowa newspaper, so.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
You're giving back.
Speaker 9 (18:37):
It's an active to ten dollars a month. Ten dollars
a month the most month. That is the most you
thing I have ever heard of my life. What's wrong
with but listen and it's I'm not gonna name them,
but they've been a part of my life and they
have an incredible coverage of Iowa sports. So I'm happy
to shell out that one hundred and twenty a year
wow to pay, Like, what is that really pay? It
(18:59):
pays like one since daily, like half of their wage
a day. I don't even know I subscribed to the newspaper.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
What is the report that there was a pwel that
got loose Offrom mcgilla Cutty's farm.
Speaker 5 (19:09):
Do you think?
Speaker 9 (19:12):
Well, you know, Andy and I have we both love
like snail mail and newspaper clippings. And Eddie, by the way,
you have like ninety letters. I'm an idiot.
Speaker 8 (19:20):
I don't know much you have about ninety letters from
Eddie Andy Becker.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
The reason is he has those year.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
I'm gonna I'm gonna gather those and make a bonfire
at the end of the year.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Speaking of snail mail, our friend from Montana, remember the
high school coach, listens to the show and all that
he's going to send his hats ner hats. Well, he
told me he sent the hats like a week ago.
Did he send them by pony Express?
Speaker 5 (19:44):
Like?
Speaker 1 (19:44):
What what happened, you know.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Well, it's the it's however long the transit is from
where the listener to us, and then you got to
add like another week on top of that, for it's
come from the mail room down to us.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
I don't even know where the mail room is.
Speaker 8 (19:59):
That's why.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
That's why it's like it used to be fine, because
back in the day, I would just go up to
the mail myself.
Speaker 8 (20:04):
Oh me to go up there right now and pulk around.
I think I can get it.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
I don't.
Speaker 8 (20:07):
I don't know where it is anymore. It's I think
it's on the fourth floor.
Speaker 5 (20:10):
We need you here, Sam.
Speaker 9 (20:11):
You can't you think it's on the fourth floor because
I've walked to say, yeah, Sam to Claus could find
these hats. I'm so I'm telling you Sam to Clause,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
We'll have to find the hats, he said. He sent
me a message.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
The guy's like, hey, well, have we even checked like
near Eddie's office for any I didn't.
Speaker 8 (20:26):
I checked yesterday, and I don't know there's any boxes
or anything.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
I mean I walked by it on the my way
in here, so I would notice it.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Yeah, all right, Well, so hopefully you don't need me here, Eddie.
Speaker 8 (20:34):
I could just leave for twenty minutes and go find
the hats.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
It used to be great because I would go into
the mail room at iHeart and there'd be you know,
this is years ago, and there was like a whole
wall of mail for Rush Limbaugh and like Mario Lopez
and yeah, Steve Steve Harvey, usually free books that they.
Speaker 8 (20:50):
Just wanted to eat.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
The Fox Sports radio side of the mail room was
just letters from Andy Fourman to work here. Rather depressing,
but yeah, it was all from Andy the Cincinnati radio
legend legend and Andy Furman. My favorite Andy Furman story
is the fact that Andy Furman is the guy, the
originator that had Chris Collinsworth race a horse.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
That was that was his that was his deal. I'm
an idiot. How great is that he came up with that?
Speaker 2 (21:21):
He had the promotion Chris Collinsworth when he was playing
for the Bengals race a horse.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
How awesome is that? And then years a few years ago.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
It's probably been a while that maybe ten years, maybe
more than that, o Cho Sinko Chad Johnson recreated the
moment and raced a horse.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Of course, of course, incredible.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Yeah, mac, I would like to race a sloth? Can
we set that up? I was saying, mallard versus a sloth?
Speaker 8 (21:50):
Yeah, wouldn't that be good?
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Mala versus a panda bear sloth.
Speaker 9 (21:56):
You'd have you'd have to like get it like army
crawl because the sloth you gotta be. It's gonna be
someone competitive. Slots can be moving really.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
So it doesn't have to be competitive at all. Now,
Ozzie was in Western Australia, out where no one lives
in Australia, but he listens to our show. He sent
me a message, talked about this on the podcast. He
sent me a video of and this is a few
years ago koala bears fighting and it's the funniest thing
you watch. And it has the koala bears are fighting
(22:23):
with each other and one of them is like running
after the other one and it's like watching a stuffed
animal run.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
It was awesome.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
It's surprising because they're usually stoned because of the eucalyptics
exactly that they eat.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Yeah, they're like the one of the laziest in the
top ten laziest animals.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Yeah, would be there.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
We went to a zoo in Sydney when I went
to Australia and we went and you know, hung out
with the Kualas and they're just cope with love them.
They're stoned to the be Jesus though. They just sit
there on a tree and chew their leaves.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Don't they sleep eighteen hours a day or something like that?
Speaker 8 (22:54):
Some of they did the life life of That sounds great.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Yeah, just sleeping eighteen hours.
Speaker 8 (23:00):
That's too much sleep.
Speaker 5 (23:01):
That's good.
Speaker 9 (23:01):
You're gonna be tired. You're gonna sleep eighteen hours because
you're tired all the time.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Your body will probably hurt, be hurting from being in bed.
Speaker 9 (23:07):
Have you ever done that? If you're I've slept too
long in like my back hurts. I'm like, I gotta
get out of bed. This is horrible.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Nah, but I have slept where I like, maybe I
sleep on my side and my shoulder hurts or something
like that.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
That's happened. I hate that.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
JJ from Renton writes, and he says, I do not
understand why Pete Carroll continues to keep starting Gino Smith.
He is a backup quarterback at the most. Plus e
effing sucks. JJ's hitting the sauce tonight. Just bench the
dude already for Christ's sake, that's good sauce.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Well, thank you, JJ, I'm glad that you checked in.
We have not heard.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Can we do a wellness check on our guy Nostradinas
and crying Craig and Emmett the blind Seahawk fan and
all that blind emme at the Seahawks fan. Can we
I haven't heard from those guys now, JJ did check in.
But the problem and you know this, JJ, even though
you're completely probably hammered right now, but you know this
when you sober up up that the reason Seattle cannot
(24:02):
right now bench Gino Smith is because they have the
other backup they have as a third string quarter So
Gino is a second string quarterback, which is not particularly good.
But then Drew Locke the other quarterback that's a third stringer,
so that would be a downgrade. And I saw Drew
Locke play and that was at the Rams Seahawk game
(24:22):
a few weeks ago, and Gino came out of the
game played played well early, kind of like this game.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
He played well early and then he got hurt and
you didn't play that.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Well in the second half, got hurt, and Seattle lost
because of their idiot kicker, their idiot kicker.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 5 (24:42):
Back to the NFL, and we had a high profile
player in some hot water, potentially Bill's linebacker Von Miller,
facing rest on allegations of domestic violence police. He did
turn himself into police. They're in the Dallas areas.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
My week going for the Bills, Eddie.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
Not great, not great. The report is that he he
put his hands on the children.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Child. That's a that's a no fly zone.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
But he was Yeah, they were fighting with each claim
he pushed her and put his hands around her neck,
and so there you go. Chances this ends up in
actual criminal charges, like like legitimately, or they just stand
up like commerheads prevail.
Speaker 8 (25:26):
Well, she is now trying to downplay it. I saw it.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
I saw an update from the New York Post where
she is. In the post, she she texted with I
guess a radio station and said, uh, we're fine. Things
were blown way out of context. This is actually outrageous,
and she described a verbal disagreement and a huge misunderstanding. Uh,
(25:52):
no one assaulted anyone. She wrote, this is insane and sad.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Now, isn't the story, Coop.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
We've we've had these stories in the past, and I've
had dudes that have been arrested tell me that if
the police show up to a domestic violence thing that
usually somebody ends up getting dinged.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
I've heard that usually it's the guy. He wasn't even there, right, he.
Speaker 8 (26:13):
Wasn't even there when when they came.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
If they find evidence that there was a physical conversation
man versus woman, well, see, that's the thing.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
I don't know how this is going to turn out
because there's those texts that she's sending to the radio station,
but they also have audio of the nine one one
call where she's saying, he pulled my hair out. I
have like some blood on me, but not like yeah,
I don't know where the it was the exact quote there,
but she had bruises.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
All over her.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
So von Miller's got he's got a lot of money,
so you can afford a good attorneys. And I'm assuming
this is his baby mama drama?
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Is that what this is about? Soon to be baby
mama drama? So I guess that you want.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
To protect protect the nest egg, right, because Vaughan could
play a couple more years.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
But who knows.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
If he hit her, that's you shouldn't do that if
you get in trouble. But if he didn't hit her
and they were just like wrangling, you know, it was
a verbal thing and there was a light contact.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
But who know, I don't know. We'll see see what happens.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Incidental contact, incidental, that's right, any incidental contact.

Speaker 2 (27:41):
Stroud or the Texans. He's been great so far this year.
He's made his first mistake in a podcast interview.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Recently.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
C J.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Stroud announced that the.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Women of Los Angeles are better than the women of Houston.
And he said it's not even close about that. That's
a hot.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Taken the women of.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
La Are And he's you know, he's from southern California,
so that would make sense that he would appreciate the
Southern California woman as opposed to the Houstonian woman.

thing about Dad Gummett is he makes friends with everyone.
Dad Gummett is just everyone's friend, even if you don't want.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
To be his friend. Who will force you to be
his friend? I love this quote from Jabrill Peppers.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Of the New England Patriots, the honest pat We're gonna
call him the honest pat And he supposedly went up
in this I guess audio this Jabrill Peppers went up
to the giant Sequon Barkley, and after the game when
the Patriots lost because of their idiot kicker and whatnot,
he told Barkley, the Patriot Gribrill Peppers told Saquon Barkley
(32:27):
that you lucky.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
We asked was the quote? Now, that is a deep thought.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
That is wonderful, So tremendous job by Jabil Peppers, very honest,
honest man. We have mallard of a third degree that
is percolating right now. We're warming that up. Time for
the install trivia and I hear it is Blank has
completed just twenty eight percent of his passes from the
ten yard line in the red zone there a ten
(32:57):
yard liner, which is not even the red zones closer
than that the past two seasons. The next worst among
thirty five players with twenty or more attempts is Matt
Ryan at thirty seven percent. Again insta trivia, Blank has
completed twenty eight point eight percent of their passes from
the ten yard line into the goal line ten yard liner.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Closer past two years.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
The next worst is a guy that's no longer playing,
Matt Ryan, the TV analyst, at thirty seven percent.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
That is the instad trivia the answer. We'll get to it.
We will do it next. I went out and met
him at a truck stop. For God's sake, that's true.
I did. That's right.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
Just for the record, Eddie, we'll get to the Insta
trivia and then we'll also have Mallard with a third degree.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
So that sound bite you, I assume you did you
play an enter to Sam.
Speaker 5 (34:23):
I did not play a samplayer.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Okay, so there's this.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
This goes back probably to two thousand and two or
it's like twenty years old. I was doing updates in
the newsroom and I was monitoring a Sacramento Kings game
and Gary Jerrold, the play by play guy for the Kings,
do we have the sound bite?
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Iowa, Sam, this is how he described a play.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
And I listen and my eyeballs popped out of my
head and I had to put this in the system,
and it's still in the system. This is my Sacramento
Kings game over. I want to say, over twenty years ago,
take a list, he.
Speaker 10 (34:56):
Got banged and went over the store stable.
Speaker 11 (34:58):
Then in the next sequence he took a knee in
the five.
Speaker 9 (35:04):
So let's see, he didn't say the guys name Chris
Weber still playing for the Kings then, or was he
on the team?
Speaker 1 (35:12):
I think that? Why else where we record a Sacramento
Kings game.
Speaker 8 (35:14):
Right at that time, like you know the Queens and you.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Know, yeah, they had really good teams in Sacramento for
a Cup the last time they were competitive.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
But Io Turklou was on the Kings.
Speaker 8 (35:25):
Voddy Deep, great name he do Turklou?
Speaker 1 (35:28):
Those are pretty good names. Here's the answer trivia.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
So Blank has completed just twenty eight point eight percent
of his passes from the ten yard line in or
closer last two seasons. That the player that is the
next worst among thirty five players that qualify with twenty
or more attempts is Matt Ryan, who has since retired.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
That is the question.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
What's the answer, Jeremy in Minnesota says, in honor of
Cowboy Dan Dak Prescott is the answer, Derek Zulander from
Cowboy Killer.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Who else do we have from Fergdog?
Speaker 2 (36:02):
A good knowledge of pac Man with inkey helmet Man
guessed by the Late Night Drug tester Daffy Dark from
Mark in Santa Monica. Tom Henke Blue Jay's Legend, I
also played for the Cardinals from Mister Nice Guy. Derek
Carr from Matt the Warrior Raider fan. If I'm not mistaken,
Tom Henkey was on the mound when the last game
was ever forfeited in Major League Baseball Cardinals Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
I was at that game. I covered it at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Rumors of the ville, says Russell Wilson or California Governor
Gavin Newsom.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Don't get me started with Newsom. Who else do we have?
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Larry Wayne Chipper Jones from Alf the Alien Old Planter,
legally Blind Brett. There's an old school name from Shane
in Des Moines, Gary Hogeboom from Sean Eddie.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
Do you have an answer?
Speaker 2 (36:45):
It's not Billy Volleck guessed by Ike in Roseville, Minnesota.
Speaker 5 (36:48):
Now I'm gonna go with former Bills quarterback JP Lossman.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
Good name, but that's incorrect.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
Also not Felipe Belou from Big Brig Rob correct answer.
Derek Carr of the Saints. Derek Carr not getting her done?
What I know he went to Fresno State, Eddie, but
it's smaller.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
How about that?
Speaker 6 (37:09):
To the third degree, this is one big Ben gets
grilled Coop dalup.
Speaker 4 (37:18):
Earlier this week, the Warriors blew ay twenty four point
lead to the Kings that put them at eight and ten.
They weren't able to be the lowly Clippers last night,
but they're still under five hundred on the season.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
That way, I mean.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
People, that's why people don't trust the media.
Speaker 4 (37:33):
I'm saying it's nothing to be proud of. They're still
under five hundred. Yes, Ben du Loup, how would you loop?
How would you diagnose what's wrong with the Warriors?
Speaker 1 (37:41):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
They look pretty good against the Clippers, but I wi watch,
I would say Clay Thompson is the obvious one.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
He's broken.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
He's just not anywhere near being an all star level
player like he was. He had the knee, the achilles injuries.
And he's not a splash brother.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
He's a brick brother. Andrew Wiggins has also not been
the greatest.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
It's just like the backup guys haven't been that because
there's a lot of suck right now with the Warriors.
Speaker 4 (38:08):
Next and stop me if You've heard this before, but
there are reports that this could be the year that
Jim Harbaugh makes his return to the NFL. Oh, absolutely, Ben,
are you buying the reports this time around?
Speaker 5 (38:18):
Well?
Speaker 2 (38:19):
Every year I do the same monologue. I have it saved.
It's Jim Harbaugh is going to coach the Chicago Bears.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
So I'll do it again this year.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
Jim Harball is going to coach the Chicago Bears or
the Carolina Panthers or the Chargers.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
Absolutely, he's done.
Speaker 4 (38:31):
Next now, Tyreek Kill made a recent podcast appearance. I
believe you talked about a quote that he made on there.
Another quote that he made is he said that the
talent on this Dolphins team is actually better than the
twenty nineteen Chiefs team that he won the Super Bowl with, Ben,
how would you compare the team's talent wise?
Speaker 2 (38:47):
Oh, the Chiefs are better because of Patrick Mahomes. That's
the art of manifestation from Tyreek Hilt. The Mahome Mahomes
is better than He's obviously better.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
How do we do you pass? That's a win? What's
