Speaker 1 (00:00):
Wham bam, oh no, it's Sam again. Wel come in.
It's our number two. As the NFC show down in
the NFC West, the Rams get it done over the
team from Seattle. The question is how concerned should the
Seahawks be with Sam Donald's performance or lack thereof four

(00:23):
interceptions in that game. Also, what does this win do
for the Sean McVay Rams. We'll talk about that. And
Miami beat Washington in Madrid in Spain is in battle
coach Mike McDaniels saving his job with the Dolphins developing
hot dot dot dot. We'll get to that and more

(00:45):
right now here. It is our number two. Now, that
is the Sam Donald we all know and love. There
he was on full display. Welcome in the begining of
another hour of the Ben Mallor Show.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
We are in the air everywhere using pitchforks and torches
as we say, it's your voice, your choice, coast coast,
border to border and beyond on the vast and vivaciously
powerful microphones of fs are amminating live from the one

(01:29):
and only room, the Bold Room, as we go Bold
or we go home, the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios,
as approved by the number one fanboy Sam for Sam Darnold,
Nos Treudinas, JJ in Renton and Crying Craig, who informed
me that this portion of the show made possible by

(01:49):
ti Rak. For over forty years, Tyrak has been helping
customers like JJ in Renton, helped them out, help them
find the right tires for how, what and where they drive.
Even Bennett the comedian says thumbs up on that and
emme at the Blind Seahawk fan back by free road
hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
Tyre rac dot com. The Way Tire Mind show b
So I leave this hour is from the showdown in Inglewood,
in the Hood and up to No Good so far
NFC West matchup Battle Royale Battle Royale NFC West. He

(02:34):
had Sam Darnold leading the Seattle football team into SoCal
for a playdate against Matthew Stafford and the La Rams.
Did you watch? For some reason this was not America's
Game of the Week. I guess that's because CBS had
the exclusive window, or not the fully exclusive window. But

(02:55):
they had Romo and Nance doing the Chiefs Broncos game.
But Tom Brady he was calling with Burkhart. They were
calling the game in Minnesota Bears and Vikings. This is
a much bigger matchup, much bigger matchup, and if you
didn't watch it, well you missed a turnover Paloosa as
Cameron Kinchins had not one, but two two interceptions. The

(03:20):
Rams had four interceptions as a team, and Cam leading
the way there. Matthew Stafford did not play particularly great,
but he had a pair of touchdown passes and the
Rams held on. They beat an overrated Seattle team twenty
one to nineteen, five consecutive wins for the Rams, five
wins in a row, and Jason Myers, Jason Myers had

(03:44):
a chance at the end there to play hero the
idiot kicker. It was a sixty one yard field goal
attempt to win the game. And how did that go? Yeah,
just a little bit wide right? And the Rams get
to eight in two and they are tied. They lose
the tiebreaker to Philadelphia for the top record in the NFC,

(04:06):
but they survived the Seahawks' futile efforts to come back
and win this game. As Sam Donald was the problem,
he was the problem, and that is a good jumping
off point. So let us discuss the question how concerned.
How concerned should the Seahawks be with Sam Donald and
his performance against the Rams. So I've got goodyear, blimp

(04:30):
funions and dental floss, and we will combine all of
these things together and we are going to make the
Baba ganoosh. The baba ganoosh would have done a better
job than Sam Darnald. Do you understand that if you
would put a plate of baba ganoosh out there, it
would have done better the egg plant and all that
than Sam Donalds. So number number beat it witting me. Now,

(04:55):
this is who Sam Donald is. This that's right, all right,
this is the Sam Donald experience trademarked right there. That's it.
Uh and folws d The facts of life with Sam Donald,
The facts of life with Sam Doll. You take the good,
you take the bad, you take them both. And there

(05:17):
you have the facts of life with Sam Donald. And
the bad is when he's playing a good team. That's
the bad, right, that's the bad. And man alive. What
a stumblebum? What an absolute stumblebum? Panic froze by Sam Donald?
And it's the oh my god, don't do that while

(05:40):
you're watching do what're you doing? Why would you do
that by God, bite jump by you. The Seahawks didn't
lose this particular game. They got a reminder. It's a
nice reminder that their quarterback. It's kind of like we
used to have this guy, Butch auto Bon Butch called
us from Germany. He's not back in the state, so
I guess he doesn't need our show anymore. But he

(06:02):
used to call us up from Germany, auto Bon Butch.
It would be like going on the Autobahn in Germany
on an e bike and saying, Okay, that's Sam Donald
is your quarterback. When you're going against a good team.
With Sam Donald, you're trying to win and trying trying
to just keep up with traffic on the autobah on
your e bike. Good luck, you know. The the Rams defensively,

(06:25):
they weren't perfect in this game, but Sam Donald certainly
helped them out a lot with those four interceptions. Donald
helping getting Cameron Kinchins a new contract. There look like
Ed Reid out there playing for the Rams. Spoiler alert,
He's not that good yet. The Rams who were plumped
for the taking, right, The Rams were plumped for the taking,

(06:47):
and Seattle could not take advantage because they have an
inferior quarterback and his game. Sam Donald watching this guy
play his game is the goodyear blimp. It's a mess
on the Goodyear blimp. And it says, Sam Donald, you're
not that guy. Pal, You're not that guy. Sam Donald,

(07:07):
You're not that guy. Pal, You're not that guy. Right now,
he is this guy. He's the guy that went out
there and would puke call over himself. He's the dude.
Sam's the guy that you call when the restaurant host says,
we don't have any more tables. We have no more tables,
but we can squeeze you in at the bar. Okay,

(07:27):
nice serviceable against weak opponents, elite no. And this is
the same issue. We're watching a deja vu situation. We
saw this last year in Minnesota where the Vikings got
some solid play out of Sam Donald, and dumb people said,
there's the real Sam Donald. And then at the end

(07:48):
against the Lions and against the Rams, he rode the
vomit comet and that was turned out to be the
real Sam Donald. And so in the big moment in
the pressure cooker, he's Omega Man, not Alpha, not Alpha,
He's Omega Man. When the pressure ramps up and it's
time to get it done. Gotta get her done, get it,

(08:10):
get her done. There's been the the argument has been
made over there is that great quarterbacks, when the pressure's on,
they make diamonds, right, they make diamonds when you're a
great quarterback, Sam Donald, when the pressure's on, he makes dirt. Okay,
compost yard waste. That is what Sam Donald does. Seattle

(08:31):
should be very concerned. I all you guys are putting up,
putting off the oh, and everything's gonna be fine. Don't
worry about it. We're we just got a few things
to clean up. No, no, this is not a little clean up.
This is not a spill on an aisle three where
supermarket Steve comes over there. No, this is more than
just a minor situation. This is what's known as an
underlying condition, meaning we've already seen this, We've seen this

(08:56):
exact same thing. There's a hidden leak in the ceiling.
Grip grip, grip, drip, drip, and you kind of ignore it,
and then suddenly your living room collapses into the basement
because you were not paying attention. It's a bad job
by you. The Rams scored fourteen of their twenty one
points because of gifts from Sam Donald. Sam Donald helped

(09:18):
the Rams offense score fourteen of their twenty one points.
You cannot have a team fighting and clawing and playing
pretty good on defense and then have your quarterback turn
into a pinata. Every time the mama gets too big,
everyone gets a hit. He just kind of crumbles down. Now,
is it true? Is it true? The Seahawks quarterback plan

(09:42):
is a house of cards, a house of cards one
thousand percent. And it doesn't matter how many regular season
wins the Seahawks pile up. And I don't doubt they'll
bounce back and win a few games here in row
and add up the win total. Seattle's ceiling. When you
look at the ceiling for Seattle this year, it is
not determined by the roster. It's not determined by the

(10:05):
coaching staff. It's determined by Sam Donald. Like the defense
is great, it doesn't matter. Right, they've got Jackson Smith
and Jigba and some other weapons on offense, it doesn't matter.
That is a low ceiling. When you got Sam Donald,
that is a low ceiling. And I laugh and I
am saving all these quotes that it's gonna be different

(10:26):
this time. We love Sam he's great, all that nonsense,
because I know how this works out. I've seen this before.
It'll happen again. I know exactly how it works. Now
here's Sam Donald, who threw not one, not two, not three,
but four interceptions. What do you having to say for yourself,
Sam Donald?

Speaker 3 (10:43):
Yeah, I mean they do a good job of disguising.
I feel like, you know, a lot of defenses do
the same thing. I feel like, yeah, they're you know,
their past rush, their linebackers. Their safety is just being
all on the same page and playing really good football.
They do it at a high level. They seem likely so.
But again, I just you know, those are self inflicted ones.

(11:03):
Turn the ball over like that, and sometimes you know
it's better just to try to throw the ball away
or even take a sack when nothing's there.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
The problem is that people tell Sam donold he just
throw the ball away. What happens. Muscle memory, muscle memory
when the pressure's on, that's what he does. He doesn't
listen to the other voices in his head. He just
that's his natural reaction is to chuck it, chuck it
and duck it. And that's that's how he operates. Now

(11:33):
on the other side, on the Rams side. You can
ram it all day, you can ram it all night.
Matthew Stafford. He made some comments after the game. He
said that winning this close game, I was asked about
winning against Seattle close game like that, he said, quote,
we did just enough was his quote to Pam Oliver
after the game. So the question what does this win
do for Sean mcvay's La Rams, Well, it keeps them

(11:57):
bird dogging the Philadelphia Goes. That's the obvious thing. And
it's really mission accomplished for the Rams. Here. The Rams
basically played the Seahawks in a rock fight in Sofi
in the loading dock underneath the stadium, and it wasn't
the greatest show on turf two point zero for the
Ala Rams offense. This was try not to puke and

(12:19):
hope that Sam Donald gives you the game, and he did.

Speaker 4 (12:23):
He did.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
I don't really think very kind of Sam. Sam's a
SOCW guy. I went to San Clemente High School back
in the day. So I want to thank Sam Donald
for giving back to the Rams. Good job by you.
It worked. The Rams plan of just waiting around for
Sam Donald to give the game away was great. The
Rams much Bally hood offense didn't do much anything. Stafford

(12:44):
had just one hundred and thirty yards passing. That's about
a quarter for him. It seems like in some of
these games recently and the Rams as a team inished,
they finished with two hundred and forty nine yards of offense,
and he said, well, that's not good. Well that's not good.
That's like Jeff Fisher's back coaching the offense for the Rams.
It's like Jeff Fisher cosplay watching that offense and still

(13:05):
they won. Now why do they win? Because that's how
bad Sam Donald is. He's basically a mind sweeper who's blindfolded.
That is what Sam Donald is in these big games.
It's like trying to clean up the mine. You got
the mines there, but you're gonna wear a blindfold. Okay,
good luck, good luck on that. Now turning this into

(13:27):
a defensive statement for the Rams, and McVeigh kind of
takes a back seat on this. This was defensive coordinator
Chris Schuler. When you look at the next round of coaching,
hires another NEPO baby, Chris Shula, and he's saved the
Rams Bacon. Although I think I could have run the

(13:47):
defense with the way Sam Donald played and it would
have been fine. Eight passes defended against Sam Donald by
the Rams defense. They baited Donald like they were dangling
funions over a raccoon trap, and Sam Donald turns out
likes funians and he kept biting. Nineteen negative plays for

(14:08):
Sam Donald nineteen Now Stafford had thirteen, but that plus
six for the Rams turned out to be the difference
in this game, and the Rams proving that you can
win as a two headed monster. They were the defensive
side here and they won when the offensive side was asleep.
Despite having Puka Nicoua and Devonte Adams, who did score

(14:30):
a touchdown there. Matthew Stafford was pretty much bottled up.
But it doesn't matter the Rams. You want to play
the Seattle every game. As long as they're gonna start
Sam Donald, you're in good shape. You're gonna beat them.
Nine out of ten times, nine out of ten, you're
gonna win. With Sam Donald, he sucks that much. And
it really reinforces that the Rams are not just this

(14:50):
offensive juggernut that they can win. You know, they can
win track meets and they can also win these kind
of games, which is more of a slug sludge fest
used to be slugfest, but it was like kind of
a sludgy game. It just was more importantly the stark
reality is there and I love again. I love that
you are all ignoring it. It makes me smile. I

(15:10):
have a treeshire cat smile. I will get the last
laugh and it is going to be so great. Sam
Donald is Sam Donald. There's no other way to change it.
He is just crap. And you cannot out bad play.
You cannot out bad play your opponent every week and
good luck. So it's for the Ramso it's an ugly win, right,

(15:32):
great grown up win, all that stuff. Sean McVay did
not out scheme anyone with his offense, and he was
just in the right place. Since, like somebody gives you
a gift, you accept the gift. It's kind of like
when weed man hippie's panhandling on the side of the
road and somebody gives you money. You don't say I
don't want the money. You take the money. I'd say it,
you take that. He took the money. That's all right. Now,

(15:52):
final point. We head now to Madrid, we go to Spain,
and what are we doing? So in Madrid? The early game,
this was an early Island game, you had Jack Jones,
Remember the guy that brought guns to Logan Airport and
got away with it. Yeah, loaded guns because he Patriots

(16:14):
made some phone calls allegedly. Anyway, Jack Jones, who then
was with the Raiders suck there. So he's now in Miami,
and he intercepted Marcus Mariota on the first offensive play
of overtime and that set up Riley Patterson twenty nine
yard field goal and the Dolphins get a sixteen thirteen

(16:38):
victory over the Washington Commanders. No after that pick, if
you're watching the early feed, the early feed, you had
Jack Jones there doing a celebration to try to try
to bond with the people of Madrid, and he stretched
his arms wide out there and a little twisting jump
right in front of his teammates, imitating Cristiano Ronaldo with

(17:03):
the soccer stadium where they were playing at. Miami's now
won three of four games, and that has led to
some chatter about what's going on there with the head coach?
Is he going to stick around. Here's Mike McDaniel, the
head coach of the Dolphins, on things looking up all of.

Speaker 5 (17:20):
A sudden, very much needed I think we have some
guys on schedule to potentially return, and I think you
build momentum into the bye week and then you have
some guys return, and I think that momentum is felt
throughout the team.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
All Right, I'd fire him right now because momentum does
not exist. He's full of crap. But Miami has won
three of their last four. This comes a mid reports
on the pregame shows on Sunday that the Dolphins owners
Steven Ross Steven Ross reportedly looking to try to find
reasons to keep Mike McDaniel, not reasons to get rid

(18:00):
of Mike McDaniel for the twenty twenty six NFL season.
So the question is in battled head coach Mike McDaniel
saving his job, saving his job with the Miami Dolphins.
All right, so I'm gonna go first. This is a
tremendous overreaction, is what this is. Mike McDaniel is not

(18:24):
saving his job. Let's slow down the parade. Okay, slow down,
slow down that pump the brakes, pump the break. This
game means absolutely nothing, nothing regarding the long term outlook
for Mike McDaniel and his job security. Zero zilch Nada.
And here's why that makes money. Who are the Miami Dolphins.

(18:47):
There are a team that has beaten some bad opponents
here of late. That's it all right, the Jets, the Falcons,
the commanders among the wins. And well, what about the
Buffalo Bills. Buffalo's bipolar. We all know the Buffalo Bills.
They run hot, they run cold. And the Dolphins are
still the same clown show they were we thought a

(19:10):
couple of weeks ago. Three of those wins, three of
the last four wins have been against teams that will
be picking in the top ten. Now, Atlanta will not
be picking in the top ten. As Taptain Tommy knows,
Tommy from Atlanta there, he knows that the reason the
Falcons will not be picking in the top ten is
because they traded their pick to the Rams. But you're

(19:31):
not exactly running the gauntlet here. Congratulations, congratulations, you beat
Marcus Mariota in overtime in a neutral site game, and
you had Ronaldo highlights. I think most people thought Ronaldo
might be playing. The people that attended the game, they
were not there to see the Dolphin offense, which underachieved
against a terrible Washington commander's defense. This is not a

(19:55):
resume builder. When you go to express employment, you're not
going to put the at the very top. You're not.
In Miami. They're four and seven. Now there's still three
games back of a playoff spot after week eleven. I
know there's one game left in week eleven, but they're
three games back as we flip the page soon to
week twelve, and so you look around and the season

(20:18):
is hanging by dental flaws at this point, they're holding on.
And as for Steven Ross looking for reasons to keep
the head coach around, that tells everything. That tells everything,
that does a tell What does it tell you? That
means that Stephen Ross has already determined that he's halfway
out the door when it comes to the head coach,

(20:40):
that he's just about done. And if you look at it,
you do inventory. You say, Okay, the Dolphins, it's the
same thing. We all see that they're beating up a
bunch of tomato cans here and they fold up like
pup tents. You know, there's a chance to take the
beach of that pop up against anyone with a pulse,
and that's it. You don't save your job by taking

(21:04):
down the Washington commanders in Marcus Mariota or beating the Jets.
You don't you save your job by beating good teams
and consistently providing quality football and being relevant, legitimately relevant
in the Thanksgiving period of time. We're only a couple
weeks away from thanks to a little less than that now,

(21:24):
and I don't see it. I don't see them being relevant.
They're not a real threa. They're hundred five hundred by
several games. So if Miami convinces themselves that this little
mini run is proof of some kind of progress, they
are out of their bloody minds. They are out of
their bloody minds. This is not job saving football for

(21:46):
Mike McDaniel. It's window dressing. It's too little, too late.
It's paint a condemned building. It's still a condemned building.
It just looks a little bit better. And that is
the truth. It is the Ben Mahler Show. If you'd

(24:24):
Back to it we go, JJ from Renton writes it
in Pacific Northwest. He says, stop it, Ben, Your Rams
had four interceptions and still barely won on a missfield goal.

Speaker 6 (24:36):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (24:36):
Yes, that is why the Rams are not gonna play
that battle offense again. Do you understand Sam Darnold is
much more likely to have four interceptions the next time
the Rams play, especially if it's a big game down
the stretch, then the Rams offense is gonna play that
poorly again. That was your chance. You don't understand that
was your shot. You blew it. You blew it. JJ,

(24:59):
You bad job by you. Joe the ghost Hunter says,
I see ghosts like Sam Donald. Well that's your job, Joe.
Your job is to go out and see ghosts. No
Stradinas is sending a propaganda He's part of the Seahawks
marketing team, he says, Benny the excuse maker. If Sam
had even an average game, it would have been a

(25:21):
Seahawks blowout. He says. The great Matthew Stafford, the future
Hall of Famer, looked a little old in this game.
But he'll be fine. That's right, he will be fine.
No streets, he says, it's over for the Seahawks. Sam
Donald was awful and the Rams. Listen, the Rams beat
him and shove him around. That's right, Well you're finally

(25:43):
I don't know you take some true serm no streets.
You're right. Sam Donald was absolutely awful and the Rams
won the game, and they'll win again. Ferg Dog says,
the Mallard monologue was a big dose of bitter medicine
for my friend no Stret Denis. But it had to
be done. Sam Donald did what he always does in

(26:05):
big games. He played like Sam Donald. These Seahawks are
still better off with him than Geno Smith. Though, Yeah
see what that. Eileen writes in from San Francisco says,
when you dump on Mac Jones, remember he could still
have backup Sam Donald could still have backup Sam Brong.

(26:26):
They go, all right, let's go to the phones. Let's
go to Jed who fled? Who's in the Sunshine State?

Speaker 7 (26:32):
Hello?

Speaker 1 (26:32):
Jed, who fled?

Speaker 3 (26:34):
Right?

Speaker 1 (26:34):
Hold on, Ja, we have a golden ticket. I'm sorry, CJ.
Cash and your golden ticket. Then we'll go to Jed. Hello, CJ.
JA kats up?

Speaker 9 (26:42):
Ben Powler?

Speaker 1 (26:43):
What's going on?

Speaker 4 (26:44):
Man?

Speaker 1 (26:44):
Going on? You tell me CJ. What's on your mind?

Speaker 9 (26:47):
Basically, man, hey, shout out to the Rams defense. You
know what I'm saying. Yeah, the shout out to them defense.
That's That's exactly what I gotta say. And another thing,
Sean McVeigh, you you the big man personnel.

Speaker 4 (27:01):
Can you continue to use that?

Speaker 9 (27:04):
This is me talking, not Ben malland so don't get
mad at Ben mallan and shout out to the malt
of Militia. You know what I'm saying. I will join
the Mount of Militia, but not tonight. I always time
when I call. You know what I'm saying. That's why
I use my golden ticket. Now, Sam Donald, like you said,
he's from SoCal. We ain't got nothing against him. But

(27:24):
this is who Sam Donald is. Okay, Seattle, I'm saying it.
And yes, why would you think a sixty one yard
field goal would be us? I don't know. Time of
possession took way too long, you know what I'm saying, Yah,
took way too long, way too long, and they thought

(27:45):
that they were going to win the game. Laughable, shameful
they stak off.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
That's right with Sam Donald, that's right. And the rim
the Rams punted that's how bad Seattle is. With Sam Donald.
The Rams punted on five of their final six possessions
and still won the game.

Speaker 4 (28:05):
They still want the game they.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
Setting up set against. Yeah, CJ, what do you? I
love that you? I like your laugh? CJ? What do
you always say?

Speaker 3 (28:15):
Right?

Speaker 1 (28:15):
They say, Well, if you're gonna be a good team
on the road, you can't be kicking field goals. I
saw a lot of field goals by Seattle. I saw
a lot of field goals, a lot of field goals.

Speaker 9 (28:23):
Yeah, yes, I did too. So basically, hey, shout out
to the defense. They did their job. Shout out to
our defense. They did their job. So it was a
defensive game. But when they came down to the last second,
Sam Donald showed who he was. Yeah, that's all I
have to say. Also, shout out to Eddie Garcia. I'll
do everything I can because I think he should be

(28:44):
back on Michelle. All right, Well that's all I have
to say.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
All right, there is a great CJ checking in. I'm
seeing some of these messages from our guys in Seattle
are like, well, the just because the kicker, mister Field
was a sixty yard field goal attempt, a sixty one
yard field goal attempt. That is not a chip shot
field goal. Nuts. If you told me right now the
game's gonna come down to a sixty one yard field goal,

(29:08):
the other team's got to make a sixty one yard
field I'm gonna take my chances. I'm gonna win that
game most of the time. Most of the time, I
gonna win that game. Jed who fled his back, I'm sorry, Jed.
The guy had a golden ticket. CJ had a golden ticket.
I mean the rules are when you have a golden ticket.
I have to go back and go to that point.

Speaker 4 (29:24):
If I was a movie movie preview announced a guy,
I'd be like in a world where CJ stands for
crush job and it means he's gonna crush Jed who
fled the hards as he begins to believe he's going
on the air. And then Ben Mallard, he's not banned,
but he did ban Jedrey Radio with regards to CJ's
golden ticket, and he punched Jed metafolkly in the face.

(29:45):
Coming this summer, please watch out for Ben Mallard. J
punch Jet in the face. Mallard, We're gonna take of
a better movie title name before this summer. Listen if
I was, if I was, if I was doing anything
with regards to Fox Sports, DJ, We'll played, CJ Tshay,
We'll played, but now not shoveling gold ticket because he
delayed my on air appearance, will play. If I was

(30:06):
doing anything regards to Fossports, say you I would give
Justin Cooper. This is just totally subjective. No, no, no, no,
this is this is worfol you slip. This is totally objective.
I gave him so many guys that were an Olympic medal,
gold medal. Wait, yeah, get gold medal of the Olympics
twenty toy six or Seat the Cup championship winning to

(30:29):
twy toy six. Thank you to Trump for both of them.
I just bought by CBS for twenty dollars can Usa
Mexico toy toy six. But say you Justin Cooper for
not selling victims to any of those lives, putting me
behind the appropriate collars because I was like, Justin you
like me. He's like, yeah, jee, I like you, but
you suck kind of with regards to you're lying about
golden tickets. And I was like, I can't lie about

(30:51):
that part.

Speaker 9 (30:52):
Yeah, you're right.

Speaker 4 (30:53):
He decided to play the race. He was like, Jeff,
you're kind of sexist at Magwood's North Florida pac Handle
with regards to Rayner, and I was like, no, I
just think she should stay the kitchen. She has appropriately
made me laugh numerous times since then, and I might
say that she needs to get out a kitchen. I
might have been wrong. I be smaller than you, and
that literally hurts my feelings. Got out.

Speaker 1 (31:14):
I'm smarter than you. Are you done?

Speaker 4 (31:15):
You listen one time? Please, God, for God's sake, listen
to me, because I'm radio golt. Justin Cooper did not
put that Golden ticket status on me, no knowing the.

Speaker 1 (31:32):
Are you gonna sing Justin happy birthday? What are you
gonna do? You gotta seen him? Birthday is his birthday?

Speaker 4 (31:36):
Birthday that Justin Cooper he knew been dollars writings would
not be worse than they would do. You put jet
on the first hour. But still he's got integrity and
put those thirty persons the craft callers are head JAD.
He's a good integrity right to your person there he goes.

Speaker 10 (31:53):
If it makes you feel any better, if it makes
you feel any better, Jed, I did, like, I almost
sell for for it, and then but you said, I
was like, when does when did you get your golden ticket?
You're like, oh, mallor'smount of Money a couple of weeks ago,
a few weeks ago, and I went back and I
listened to each Mallard's Mountain of Money for like the
last five weeks, and you weren't my partner in any

(32:14):
of those.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
No, you're not.

Speaker 4 (32:18):
If I'm still being If I'm still being Hume Mayer
Brinon Maller listens and use the baseball or starball or
you used sport. It's just a sixth inning and it's
topless stakes, and we get a time limit ruling. We
go back to the school at days. The fifth day
is the first round. Justin Cooper Hollywood Chole Star and
sit Men Adult Chouds Stars gaff noting we had luffed

(32:39):
your ass after it is it now?

Speaker 1 (32:41):
You're just you're spreading lives and I cannot allow the
powers invested in me. I cannot allow you to spread lies.
It's about job at you. Let's go to the international
line and we go to London and we say hello
to legally blind Christopher. Hello, legally blind Christopher in London.

Speaker 11 (32:57):
Either I am drinking too much or I completely understood
Jed who fled. I don't know which.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
Well I'm going to go with the latter. I did
not understand about seventy five percent of what he said.

Speaker 11 (33:08):
So I think it's probably because it's the time difference. Anyhow,
mister Maller, you have a gift in your rams.

Speaker 4 (33:16):
Could you please do me.

Speaker 11 (33:17):
One turkey favor? Because we don't celebrate things to get
in here in London. I need to figure out how
to fire Johnny Morton because we don't have to run
an offense, nor do we have a quarterback that can
produce anything anymore. Because you were so right and I
was so wrong as it relates to my wasted Jeff quarterback,
and so now I have to ask please we need

(33:37):
to have a happy Christmas here in London. I need
your help, mister Melier.

Speaker 1 (33:40):
Well, I've got I've got good news and bad news.
You want the good news or you want the bad news.

Speaker 11 (33:45):
That doesn't matter. They're all bad for me anyhow, because
I can barely take watch football here in London.

Speaker 1 (33:49):
I understand you got to find the dark web websites
to watch the games. I understand.

Speaker 4 (33:54):
Did you see that?

Speaker 11 (33:55):
Oh gee, I didn't hear that?

Speaker 1 (33:56):
Yeah, exactly. So the good news is you have placed
John Johnny Morton there, the John Morton, the offensive coordinator.
You've replaced him. That's the yeah. The good news. Yes,
the bad news is Dan Campbell is now calling the plays.
He's been he's been calling the plays the last couple
of games, so he already took over as the play caller.

(34:17):
So you you replayed you, I know, That's what I'm saying.
He and he said he's going to call the plays
the rest of the year. And so you you did
demote your offensive coordinator and the guy you got is
your head coach who went forward on fourth down five
times and turned the ball over on downs five times,
five times and still was a one score game in
the fourth quarter.

Speaker 11 (34:37):
No, I might as well follow the Rams because my
lions are hopeless. We're going to get blown out on.

Speaker 4 (34:42):
Turkey Day yet again.

Speaker 11 (34:44):
So mister Maller, I wish you all a happy Thanksgiving
and thank you all.

Speaker 1 (34:48):
Right there he goes from London legally blind, Christoph, Let's
say hello real quick, Bugotti. The truckers driving around the Commonwealth. Hello, Bugotti, welcome, let's.

Speaker 4 (34:57):
Break break what not radio check? Would you say loud

Speaker 1 (35:02):
Okay, lot of clear, lot and clear, loud and clear.

Speaker 4 (35:05):
Ten four yes, sir, yes, sir. Hey, quick question. How
long has uh.

Speaker 9 (35:12):
Sam uh Sam been out there for?

Speaker 11 (35:15):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (35:15):
This is first he was in Minnesota. Last year he's
in Seattle. Now he'll be going to a different team
next year. He changes teams every year.

Speaker 11 (35:22):
Yes, hey, hey, my pop, my son's Pop Warner football
team is looking for a quarterback.

Speaker 9 (35:27):
Let's se we bring them down here.

Speaker 1 (35:28):
It's a great idea. I think Sam would love it.
You know, it didn't do well in cold weather, but
he could be okay at the beginning of the year.

Speaker 9 (35:35):
Yeah, yeah, you'd be good.

Speaker 4 (35:36):
And then another thing.

Speaker 9 (35:37):
How long has Thereon Rodgers been in Pennsylvania?

Speaker 4 (35:39):
About one hundred days.

Speaker 1 (35:42):
Probably about that, a little more, a little more, maybe
a little bit more.

Speaker 4 (35:44):
Now now he's a scientist. Now he said, the homage
people live longer than anybody else.

Speaker 9 (35:48):
I mean nothing against them, but I know they're good.

Speaker 1 (35:51):
Uh, I know they did He say that he might
want to he might want to use an amish doctor.
Did he break his wrist? Did you see that? The
risk was all FW left the game. It's just non
throwing risk. But he left and Mason Rudolph took over.

Speaker 4 (36:05):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know. You know, they might be
able to put a castle, wouldn't castle around him?

Speaker 9 (36:09):
I mean, I love the homage community. They built good houses.
But this guy's a little Koko in the head.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
I think, Yeah, that's uh right. He's interesting. He keeps
it interesting, Bugatti, he keeps it fresh.

Speaker 4 (36:19):
Hey, who's only.

Speaker 9 (36:20):
Who's the only kicker that would have hit that sixty
one year a field goal against you guys? Who's the
only one in the NFL?

Speaker 4 (36:25):
Right now? Who do you think the.

Speaker 1 (36:26):
Only other guy with the Cowboys? What's his name? Yeah? Yeah,
I got yeah for sure.

Speaker 9 (36:32):
I'm a Cowboys fan, mab, I'm a Cowboys fan.

Speaker 1 (36:34):
My condolences to you, my condole and the cowboy. The
Cowboys didn't lose this weekend, Come on, not yet. They lose.
They played a night so they haven't lost yet.

Speaker 9 (36:41):
But I'm a I'm a Mets fan too, so I'm
used to lose it.

Speaker 1 (36:46):
There you go, you settled into a life of losing
the life of terrible. Yes, I got you.

Speaker 9 (36:51):
As long as I drink six beers and a ten
piece of chicken wings, I'm happy watching them move.

Speaker 1 (36:55):
There you go. That's all you need. If you bet
on the other team, you got sports fan insurance. I
gotta go. But thank you the great Bugatti, the Bugatti,
the trucker they're driving around the Commonwealth, the always interest.
So the Roger, that was the Aaron Rodgers thing. He
the fear is he broke his ris. It's messed up.
The risk is messed up. Eh, but that could happen

(37:16):
if you're going too No, I we're gonna have a
We've gotta move ahead. We have Mallard to the third degree.
Here's the Insta Tribune. The last second field goal by
Chicago's Cairo Santos prevented Minnesota's JJ McCarthy from becoming the
second quarterback since at least nineteen point fifty to being
an opponent twice in a season. While trailing by double
digits to start the fourth quarter, Blank is the only

(37:38):
one to pull it off. That is the answer, Tribute
the answer next.

Back to It we go. Time now for the Insta tribute.

(38:37):
Then we got mallard of the third degree. The last
second field goal by Chicago's Cairo Santos prevented Minnesota's JJ
McCarthy from becoming just the second quarterback since at least
nineteen fifty that's seventy five years to being an opponent
twice in a season after trailing by double digits at
the start of the fourth quarter. Now Blank is the
only one to pull it off. That is the question.

(38:57):
What is the answer? Dwarf guessed by mal prop guy.
Let's see Josh got it right. Bad job by him.
Trevor Harris from King Roy, Edger and James. Guests by
Shane and de Moines, Shader Sanders from Eke and Roseville, Minnesota.
Mister mister Unlama did guests by Andy and Lino Lakes.
JJ McCarthy's prototype Christian ponder. Why would you even ponder?
Passing from Ben Don Straw from Greg the real estate MOGU.

(39:21):
What's that ul right now? I'm gonna go with Charlie Johnson. No,
the correct answer is Jake Plumber, way back in nineteen
ninety nine. Jake Plumber, he was it smaller? How about that?
To the third degree? This is one big fan, gets Grail.

(39:42):
I was gonna use with the Cardinals, by the way, guys,
cool bloo Ben.

Speaker 10 (39:45):
During the Sunday night game, we finally saw the refs
call some false dart penalties on the Eagles. Push pushes. Yeah,
and we also saw the Lion stop a few of them.
Do you think we're gonna start to see less of
these from the Eagles?

Speaker 3 (39:57):
No?

Speaker 1 (39:57):
I was confused. Also the Eagles, there was a third
and two I think it was, and they decided to
run a traditional running play. They did not. They did
not run the toushbush.

Speaker 4 (40:07):
Now.

Speaker 1 (40:07):
I would run it. I would run it now. The
other argument is they're sandbagging here so the numbers go down,
so that way they keep the touchbush in. That's the
conspiracy theory. But if I'm the Eagle, I keep running it.
This was an off night.

Speaker 10 (40:19):
Next, Fernando Mendoza of Indiana had a big night over Wisconsin.
He had twenty two of twenty four for three hundred
yards and four touchdowns. A day game, I believe, But yeah, yeah,
did did he seal his Heisman with that performance?

Speaker 1 (40:34):
No, there's still with I don't believe. He's obviously near
the top if you look at the Heisman numbers and
all that. I'm not there yet.

Speaker 10 (40:41):
I know.

Speaker 1 (40:41):
There's only a few more weeks of the college football season,
which blows my mind that we're almost at Thanksgiving. But
I'm gonna say, no, it's not over that the US.
I feel like there's no one that's got a choke
hold on it. I don't think he does. The quarterback
from Ohio State. I mean, there's some there's some other
actors at the at the table here. But there's there's
no there's not a dominant year for college football. Next,

(41:04):
I'm sorry, I'm gonna do an NBA question. Oh, come on,
hurry up.

Speaker 10 (41:07):
The New Orleans Pelicans fired their coach after only twelve
games to the season.

Speaker 1 (41:11):
What's his name? Willie Green? Okay, never heard of? Do
you think do you think it was too early to
fire a coach? Well, it's it's a It's essentially like
taking a cup of sand off the beach and saying, Okay,
we've cleaned the beaches sand. I mean they don't. They suck.
They're gonna suck. Whoever their coach is. It doesn't matter.
How do we do coopers, there is put it on
the board.

Speaker 4 (41:29):
Run the game.

Speaker 6 (41:30):
I've got the game.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
