for the Chargers get hurt before? Like every other season? Well,
Justin Herbert is the latest going snap crackle pop down
for the count for the Bolts.

Give me your reaction to that.

Tire buying show.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Be and our lead this hour, play the hits, mall
Man play the hits.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
From Pro Football.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
We go to the Bolt where they have a pizza
oven shaped like a helmet and they eat Wolfgang Puck.
It's almost like they've won a bunch. They haven't. There
was a power Eyders that took place. Now, if you
didn't hear about this, maybe not. We learned that the
Chargers starting quarterback Justin Herbert Snap, crackle pop. Now he's
(02:15):
being listed as week to week, aren't we all with
a foot injury. The injury is to the right foot
of Justin Herbert. The Chargers are saying it's not that
big a deal, but he's going.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
To be in a booty.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
And when you're in a booty, and we're not talking
about booty, you're in a booty, that's a problemse So
here's gonna have a boot for the next couple of weeks.
At least, and then they say that he will eventually
slowly return. They'll slowly ramp up his return now despite
the injury, the Chargers.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Are hopeful, that's a weasel term.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
They're hopeful that Justin Herbert will be ready for Week
one when the Raiders get to play that extra home game.
In La Raiders and Chargers, it's on like Donkey Kong
at Sofi in the hood in Inglewood and the Raiders
in Charges alten up the season in week one.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
So I would say, don't hold your breath.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Easton Stick is warming up in the back there, the
fifth round pick from North Dakota State. He is the
backup job option for the Chargers. So let us discuss
the question Justin Herbert going down, down, down for the Bolts.
Give me your reaction. So I've got jim Nantz, Battle
of the Bulge and Gus Buss and we will combine
(03:34):
all of these things together and we are going to
make a honey wagon, which is what the swimmers in
Pere were swimming through the Paris Olympics there the other day,
swimming through the honey wagon.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
The back of a honey wagon.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
If you don't know what honeywagon is look it up
right now, num ber Wo. So all of the blood,
sweat and tears of train and here we are as
the Chargers have.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Done it again. You could say a.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Tough break or spraying for the bolts that they know
a thing or two about injuries. The Chargers, i believe,
are gussing up the status, pouring sugar on top. This
is a box checking exercise for us. It's a box
checking exercise because you can now mark the box that
(04:26):
a starting quarterback has been dinged up prior.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
To the start of the regular season.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
And Jim Nantz can remind you that it is a
tradition unlike any other. For Justin Herbert, it stinks. It's
l stinko. However, he will be back at some point. Right,
I'll be Benny bright'side. Right, there is a silver lining here,
and what is the silver lining? If you're Justin Herbert,
(04:54):
you want to check the back pocket.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Now.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
The reason you want to check the back pocket is
because right there there's a Monopoly car. If you take
the monopoly card out, yeah, that's it. Take it out,
and then you look at the monopoly card.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
It's a get out of jail free card.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
So you've got that right, and so Herbert has freedom
because if he goes out there and stinks, poops the bed,
he can just pull out of his back pocket the
monopoly card. It's about I was hurt, missed most of camp. Sorry,
that's what happened. It's not my fault. Shrug his shoulder.
(05:28):
If he plays well, it's like, oh what a gladiator.
He overcame an amazing setback and he played great football.
So he has an alibi if he sucks. That's what
I'm saying now page two, we are staying with the
same theme with the Chargers. Where does this injury to
Justin Herbert leave Jim Harbaugh in his first season back
(05:51):
in the NFL with the Chargers. So after a minutes
long analysis of what's going on with the Chargers is
not being stuck in a pickle jar Jim Harball? What
if I told you he's not worried. Like everything that
we are hearing from people that are in the know
is that there's a priority to change the culture in LA.
(06:15):
With the Chargers, it's the battle of the bulge for
Jim Harbough. I'll bet you that those khaki pants a
little chubby, little chubby with justin Herbert nursing an injury,
the Chargers and their offensive coordinator Greg Roman can now
focus on physicality. Now, backup, we mentioned the backup Eastern
(06:37):
Stick who is more than capable not off throwing three
touchdown passes a game that's not gonna happen, but he
can certainly take three steps back and turn to his
right or his left and hand the.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Ball off ground and pound would be the way to go.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
And every one at the top right now of the
Charger's depth chart is an ex poet. They love poetry,
they love former poets. Greg Roman is a former poet
there in Baltimore. But they've got the gust Buss, Gus
Bradley and JK. Rollins, who are the top running backs
right there, and so old Ravens right there until they
(07:15):
need an ambulance to be taken off the field. But
they are the focal point of the backfield. And Jim
Harball wants to slow the game down and old school style.
Can that work for a West Coast dome team. It
works in the Northeast, it works in the Midwest, for
outdoor cold weather teams, It's traditionally worked in those environments, but.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Has it worked.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
If you're playing that style where you cut down in
the amount of times that you pass and you just
hand the ball off most of the time, can that
win you ten or eleven games? Because unless this is
some kind of deep fake, unless this is some kind
of Shenanigans and Jim Harball and all the people that
(08:01):
are around the Chargers are pulling our chain here, that's
exactly what's gonna happen. That they're just gonna slow the
game down and hand the ball off.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
And that's what they're gonna do.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Now, final point, We're gonna go to court, a massive
win for the big guy and a kick in the
nuts from the oligarchy of football to the little guy.
We talked about this story in a previous episode of
the show. We now have a Mallard follow up. Remember
that lawsuit where the NFL was daing four point seven
(08:33):
billion dollars worth a federal judge throughout throughout that verdict,
the four point seven billion dollar jury verdict against the NFL,
and that Sunday ticket case where the NFL was screwing
over their customers by the way they were doing business
on Sunday ticket. Now, the lawsuit included two point four
(08:55):
million residential subscribers, about forty eight thousand big businesses in
the United States that all would have been eligible to
get a check if you paid for the direct TV
package out of market games. And that was over an
eleven year period from twenty eleven to twenty twenty two.
So give me your school of thought on the NFL
(09:17):
scoring a major win on appeal. So my thought, and
we'd talked about this, and we've been very open about
these legal cases.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
The NFL often finds themselves.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
In court because they've got a lot of money, and
so people sue people that have a lot of money.
But this is the NFL's calling card. You just keep
appealing until you find a judge that is sympathetic to
the shield.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
The rich get richer, right, the poor get poorer.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
In this case, two point four million men, women and
children could have gotten a check.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
It wouldn't have been a lot.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
It would have been a few shekels, even though it's
four point seven billion. Now it is likely, though, that
we're not over with this, that this story is not
going to go he said, well, well, wait a minute.
The judge issued in favor of the NFL. Yeah, so
you've got two judges. One issued in favor of the
working man, another ruled in favor of the bureaucracy of football.
(10:16):
So they'll likely appeal. The plaintiffs will appeal again to
the Ninth Circuit Court, and looking into my crystal ball
as a distant relative of No su Damas and friend
of No Studina's, they will win again. The plaintiffs will win,
the people will win. But it's a cat and mouse camp.
So the NFL, what are they gonna do. They're gonna
(10:37):
go back to their calling card. They're going to appeal,
and they'll find a judge that wants tickets in a
luxury box or wants the experience of taking their kids
out to NFL practice and as much NFL merch as
they want, and.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Then they'll win that, and then they'll go to a
higher court and up, up, up, and away we go.

Speaker 7 (13:53):
But I'm kind of scared.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
No, there's no reason to.
Speaker 8 (13:57):
Yeah, I was talking to my.
Speaker 7 (13:57):
Friend about it earlier, was naming off all the names.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
You know, Holler and James, Well, super Market.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Steve will be there with Yeah, the supermarket Steve.
Speaker 7 (14:09):
Some guys I've ever met.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
No, he's a dick, but they might bring some. But
they might well, he.
Speaker 8 (14:15):
Had the shopping card thing, obviously it's better.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Yeah, Well, no, that's fine. But he might bring some
Tierra Massou with him. His wife makes Tierra massous, so
he might bring that. They brought it last time at
the meet and greet. We didn't in l A here,
so uh. And then we got Ernesto's flying in from

hadn't call him more recently until the other day.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
He'll be there, going to be there, my personal chauffeur.
He is on number two. And this is just like
show Royalty.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
It's gonna be on him and of course the guys
in Vegas that are part of the show. Hey, Buddy
Slug is the host of it. He's the one that
found the venue and did all the leg working for
the boots on the ground. It'll be good, it'll be
everyone's nice. Everyone's nice, and then we'll see how it goes,
(15:04):
and this might become a regular thing in Vegas. Got
a lot of people that listen in Vegas because of
the hours and the fact everyone's working at casino jobs
and they get out, you know, and the shift changes
at midnight or one in the morning, and that's prime
real estate for our show.
Speaker 7 (15:20):
Do you think if we if it becomes a regular thing,
like a yearly thing in Vegas, we can get the
company to pay for it?
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Well they should, no, I mean, listen, it's very fun,
but they should these things right now, these things should
be sponsored. And if you're interested in sponsoring them, reach
out to me. I'll tell you who to talk to.
But they absolutely should be sponsored. I'm right there with you.
And there's you know, there's money to be made by
all parties there, so well, hopefully that'll happen at some point,
let's go to the phones. We'll say hello to Bennett
(15:50):
the Comedian. Who oh, he's gone. Now I feel a
little bad for Ben at the Comedian. Let me tell
you why, because we were pretty rough on Bennett, like we
goofed on him he was in the talent show. But
then I got the rest of the story. And here's
why I feel like a total schmuck.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
You want to know why then, because how old do
you think Bennett is?
Speaker 6 (16:16):
I thought he was in his twenties, sixteen, Okay, kid,
it doesn't matter to me.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
He says.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
He lives about two hours north of Seattle. By the way,
the San Juan Islands are two hours north.
Speaker 7 (16:36):
Look, I mean, look, if if it's something that he
wants to do comedy, be bad at telling jokes, then
oh no, you start experience exactly. You know, it's better
to bomb, you know, behind your phone over the airwaves
than in front of a crowd on stage.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
In my opinion, Yeah, And my advice to Ben and
he was on hold. I was gonna put him on
here is to you know, follow the lead of guys
like Chip in Maine and Eke and roseul Minnesota and
and all these legends that write jokes on the show
Kurt from Earth. These guys are prolific joke writers week
after week, George and Uvaldi, these.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Are the guys that send the jokes in every week.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
And so you do that and you make us laugh
with the Q and A jokes and then you can
move on to some other stuff.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
So that would be my my advice.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
So anyway, what you want, let's go to Andre and
his dog Willis.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Coffel. Hello, Andre, Ben good to be with you.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Listen, you can't take one act too seriously, you know
for the joke tellers out there, Uh, very difficult to
get up you know and kind of command and move
an audience and get them to go along with you.
You know, so everybody bumps, you know as you're talking
about you know, make a looking and you keep on
taking you get back in there. That's kind of the
(18:04):
worry of advice that I have. Now, then we got
to get into you started off talking about the NFL,
and I think it's important because we've got a lot
of stuff going on with the league. Never mind the
number one overall, pick the self proclaimed you know, next
big thing, right, mister Caleb Williams, who has the styles
(18:26):
and the profiles and the painted fingernails and the whole
nine yards, but doesn't want to play in a preseason game,
not even for one series when the game is kind
of overly about him and the resurgence of the team.
I don't agree with that, not one bit. Nonetheless, the
NFL got some tricks up their sleeves. Roger Goodell at
the NFL Draft talking about how the super Bowl this
(18:46):
year is going to be the day before what President's Day? Right,
put that out during the NFL draft. Let people know
you're gonna have the super Bowl and guess what you
got the day off the next day? All right, to
just text that out, you know, and those of us.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
That work in radio, there are no days off, no
days off.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
But for everyone.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Understood, yes, understood then. But the summation point that I'm
making is the kickoff has changed, right, They borrowed, aka
stole that premise that that format from the XFI. I
think it is exactually better because the kickoff has turned
into a non play with all of the touchbacks. But
also the other thing that I think it's going to
be interesting. Have you seen what's going on in practice?
(19:28):
Then with the padding that they're wearing over their helmets.
That makes them look like astronauts.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Oh yeah, those are Yeah, those have been around, they
just but they added that that little piece of cloth
so it kind of looks like a real helmet, like
the normal helmet. Yeah, those are gonna I think those
are gonna be allowed in games this year.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
I think yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
And from a safety standpoint, I get what you're saying.
But from a opticks standpoint, it's gonna take them getting
used to because they're looking.
Speaker 8 (19:57):
Like, yeah, you're you're not guardian caps.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
You're not gonna get used to those. How Why would
you get used to those unless everywhere?
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Because not everyone's gonna wear them like they'll be like
a couple of guys on each team is.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Gonna wear them.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
No, no, you can't do that. It has to be
all or nothing. Bench That looks even worse if you
have some running around with the helmet the other. No,
it's got to be one of the other.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
What are you a fashion? He's where's Willis? By the way?
What happened? What did you do to Willis?
Speaker 4 (20:25):
Willis is sitting outside. He was angry, all right? Willis
was angry?
Speaker 9 (20:29):
All right?
Speaker 8 (20:29):
What did you do? Willis.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
You've been a resting Willis. You know he's he's you know,
he's got.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
It now, he's he's fascinated by this dog. I might
have to come see this dog next time I'm in Boston.
I might have to come by and I'll go out
to you.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
You're at Where are you at? You're are you in
the island? Out there? Where you at?
Speaker 4 (20:46):
I'm on the mainland, I'm in the barn state.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Okay, you're on the's now been.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Allowed to entering. You know, he has his own layer.
But he's hanging out, you know, no no barking, but
you know he's he's in a place for.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
But I want to get this amazing. Every dog I've
ever known barks. Your dog does not bark. This is
fascinating to me that your.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Dog, well, this is not crime barking. Okay, you heard
right there. You get a little bit animated.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
But here.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
The whole vibration. But what I want to conclude, Thanks
so much for the time. Then it was alleged yes
and not not yesterday the day before that, I don't
have a restroom in my residence where people were saying
that it was doubtful because I couldn't plus the toilet
on queue, then that I don't have a restroom in
my residence and I live in some nineteen hundreds home
with an outhouse. Okay, just like the doubters about Willis
(21:43):
my dog was having a good time. We do have
indoor restrooms in uh in barn Stable where I live
in the mid kids. I just I just want to
spell that I can't flush it on command because frankly been,
I'm a little nervous about what's going on in France
and that in the river. I don't want.
Speaker 9 (21:57):
I don't want you.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (21:59):
I understand? All right, Well, thank you, have a good weekend. Well,
all right, well chat next week.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
There's our friend Andre from the Commonwealth, and let the
record show he does have a toilet in his house.
Speaker 7 (22:11):
I'm still not convinced he has a dog though.
Speaker 8 (22:14):
Bet the breathing is so weird, like it's.
Speaker 7 (22:17):
Definitely a dog.
Speaker 8 (22:20):
I don't know, definitely, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
If I go.
Speaker 7 (22:22):
Definitely it is, I can tell it's a dog. And
also not all dogs.
Speaker 8 (22:26):
I've heard your animal sounds.
Speaker 7 (22:28):
Not dogs speak on command.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
All right, So we have a fat Seals update now,
Mallard prop guy who brought a nice pizza in the
other day.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
It was it good? I didn't have it? He was
it was good? Yes, did you eat it all? It
was no.
Speaker 8 (22:47):
I think there was some leftover. I think he took
finish well.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Of course, imagine once you eat pizza, imagine the sounds
that his body made. Anyway, Mallard prop Guy says his
first plan was to go to FATS before he visited
the studio.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
He said, he looked at the men.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
You realized he can make a lot of mistakes when
ordering for VIP stranger.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
So that's the pizza.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
It But next time, now that you know it's Mallard
prop guy, you know if next time we invite you in,
you can come by, or you invite yourself and send
me an email and I'll give you everyone's request. Midnight
Walker says, I had the Sunday ticket.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
And I was looking for some loot.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
But the NFL they found a judge to give my
hopes the boot. I hope it goes to the highest court.
The NFL is trash. Let's find a judge who wants
to give the little guy some cash.
Speaker 8 (23:38):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Well, he's a poet, a poet. Midnight Walker from Syracuse.
A poet, Ferg Dog says, Justin Herbert's in a walking boot,

dropping like flies? I sure hope nothing happens to you.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Ben.
Speaker 8 (23:53):
Oh geez, you don't want to say that.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
I think I'll be okay. But thank you, Fergie.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Kind of you to include me with Mike Trout and
Justin Herbert. Kind of you to put that out there.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 6 (24:11):
Cooper, are you ready for another statue outside of Crypto
dot Com arena? We're gonna have another Kobe Bryant statue?
This soon will be of here. I have been to
a lot of sectaries. There are more statues outside that arena.
It's wild.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
You know.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
The Yankees are addicted to giving like retiring numbers. The
Lakers are. They just love these.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
It's not just the Lakers, it is the Kings as well,
have a bunch of statues.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
They've got clippers. Never sullied that arena.
Speaker 8 (24:41):
There was nobody worthy of a statue.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Ralph Lawler could have gotten a statue Blake All back
in the day, Clipper, Darryl.
Speaker 8 (24:53):
Stop on the ground.
Speaker 6 (25:00):
You're a jerk, Eddy, You're a jerk.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Kobe being a friend of the show.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
He's been in studio, he's going to be back at
the ind of It home and I want you to
know our guy Seger who was you know, he does
the video stuff. He's one of the video guys here
in the video department at Fox. He texts me he
was at the into it though. They had an open
house on Thursday night.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
The place is a palace. My god, it is awesome.
So good.
Speaker 6 (25:31):
Kobe Bryant and his daughter will be immortalized with another
statue outside of Crypto dot com rata. So Kobe had
the two different jersey numbers retired. He now as the
first player to have two statues outside of the.
Speaker 8 (25:47):
Arena as well. So there's that.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Okay, that's wonderful. That tells you the Lakers are going
to suck next year. They're doing the statue thing, right.
That's the teams that don't when they retire numbers and
they put the statues up and they who's left.
Speaker 8 (26:01):
Coop, by the way, is there anyone left that needs
a statue that he doesn't have a statue.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
I don't know. That's funny.
Speaker 7 (26:07):
Teams that don't win are the ones that do statues
and and and retire numbers. That's like the Yankees, they
never won before, the Lakers they've never won before. All right,
let's see as far as statues left, is.
Speaker 8 (26:21):
Lebron gonna get one? I guess Lebron probably get one.
Speaker 7 (26:23):
Right, he will get one?
Speaker 9 (26:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (26:25):
Uh, Derek Fisher should have one?
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Oh wow? Yeah?
Speaker 8 (26:32):
Everyone Fish?
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (26:35):
Is there like a base requirement for this though?
Speaker 2 (26:37):
No?
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Well, typically you're supposed to be like a Lakers have
played for the Lakers, Rick Fox, give him a statue?
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Come on, stop it? Why not?
Speaker 7 (26:45):
Rick Fox doesn't even have like a defining moment, you know.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Derek Fish, how about he had one? I think you
might have one.
Speaker 7 (26:55):
Okay, So Robert Rory, there there's an argument to be
made there.
Speaker 6 (27:00):
Uh's got his jersey numbers, so you think he'd be statue.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
I thought they gave him a statue, didn't give me
sta Are you sure? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (27:07):
I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Yeah, I thought they did.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Remember when Kareem Kareem complained he wanted a statue, so
they gave him one.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
He complained, it was embarrassing.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
He does deserve one, but you know, but you can't
be publicly complaining that you have a statue.
Speaker 8 (27:25):
He's like, come on, my statue.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Kareem is an interesting dude. He's complicated. There's a lot
of layers to Kareem. Yeah, they definitely are.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Mallard prop guy says, what are the odds the plaque
on the new Kobe Bryant statue will be proof read accurately?
Speaker 2 (27:43):
This time they screwed up.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Multiple Yeah, there have been a lot of a lot
of mistakes there. Ferg dog wants to know why Andre's
dog sounds like he's licking peanut butter. All right, let's
go back to the phone. Is tiger Man there? Let's
say a little tiger Man is in?
Speaker 9 (28:05):
Yes, Big day, Big Day, Fall camp started today. We
had we had Micah Baskerville start for the Bears tonight
and of course Michaeh Baskerville linebacker and and do too well.
But uh, you know, it was nice to see him
(28:25):
out there and running around and putting the jersey on.
That's all that really matters at the end of the day. Uh, yeah, Beniel,
we got three more for those.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
That don't know the bit for for those that don't
know the bit, tiger Man, even though he's in Utah,
his heart is in Baton Rouge, and so he calls
up with LSU propaganda. Would that be accurate, tiger Man?
Would that be an accurate if I were to write,
like you know how you write. You make a movie
and you have to write in one line with the plot,
is that's the plot of your phone calls?
Speaker 9 (28:55):
Well, it's not propaganda. I'm just spreading the spreading the
word of the best game in college football. Well, you know,
then we got three more weeks, so we have three
ACC teams and three now West teams all play on
the same day. Very exciting. Then you know, big big month.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Up that and you are going to a game this year?
Speaker 1 (29:19):
You said, didn't you say in a previous call that
you're going to be in bat On Ruge for a game?
Speaker 9 (29:25):
Well, I'll be in that rooms for the Oklahoma game
and then of course the Vegas game. You know we
play USC Labor Day weekend on that Sunday, so you know,
got guy go the game obviously for that. But then
you know, just just really excited. I think BK has
a great team this year and yeah, we'll.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Leave it there. Very good. Thank you Tiger Man as
our man.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
He was going to be in Vegas, but he said
he couldn't make Matthew Warrior Raider Tom Brady roast fan
says Mark Mattson needs a statue about Kurt Rambis. I'm
super Rambis doesn't have a statue because his wife is
besties with Genie Buss. That's from Jason, So I am
a surprise Rambis doesn't have one. But it's been so
(30:09):
long now, I know it's like, can you really give
a guy, another guy from the eighties a statue. I
mean that's forty years ago. I don't know about that.
That's like time. Too much time has passed. If you're
gonna give a statue, you had to do it within
like the last twenty years ago.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
You had to give him a statue.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
It is the Ben Maler show. So go fly a kite.
That's essentially what the Olympic people did. There was a
race that was canceled at the Paris Olympics because of
a lack of wind. Olympic sailors spent all day waiting
(30:44):
for the green light to go.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Men's and women's skiff finals.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
I don't even know what that is, but they need wind,
and they spent hours on their boat. It was ridiculously
hot in Paris yesterday. How hot it was ninety five
degrees fahrenheit thirty five degrees if you'd like that Celsius.
And so they were waiting around. They kept waiting and
they were like, well, maybe we're gonna get start, you
(31:10):
know soon, and they're just baking. They were being charboiled
in the sun. And then eventually they said, and after
baking in the sun for hours, ah, we're good.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
We're not gonna do it right now. Maybe we'll do
it tomorrow, which is today, as it's early in the
morning in France. So if the wind picks up, they
they couldn't. They couldn't do the event.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
That's it is a metal race, and they couldn't do
it because there's no win win, there's no wind, there's
no wind.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Cannot do it.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Shit, got a bunch of gas bags out there, and
they could have figured it out. We're gonna have mallard
of the third degree. That is warming up right now.
It is in the microwave.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
We'll get to that. But here is the insta.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Trivia Blank was second in the NFL with twenty nine
targets inside of the red zone. However, twenty point seven
percent of those said targets were inaccurate throws, the highest
rate for any wide receiver with fifteen or more targets
(32:08):
in the red zone last season. Again, there's a lot
of moving parts to this. To listen closely, blank was
second in the NFL with twenty nine targets inside of
the red zone. However, twenty point seven percent of those
targets that were charted were inaccurate throws. That's the highest
rate of any wide receiver with fifteen or more targets
(32:29):
in the red zone last season. That is the instead
trivia the answer, and we will get the mallard of
the third degree.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
We will do it next.

We are gonna have Mallard the third Degree. That'll be
coming up with time now for the Insta trivia. Blank
was second in the NFL in red zone targets, but
twenty point seven percent.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Of those were inaccurate.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
We're inaccurate from the quarterback, the highest rate of any
wide receiver with fifteen or more targets in the red
zone last season. That is the question. And what on
God's green Earth is the answer? Let's see does anyone
know the answer? Alf The Alano piner says the answer
is Fremont Street. Love Fremont Street. Got to get out
(34:21):
there to Fremont Street. Avery was talking about having a
an after party at Fremont Street.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
So and some of the guys might go down there.
Who else do we have?
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Karate Kid Daniel LaRusso from Cowboy Killer Page down, can't
read that.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
I got a weird video of Dad Gummet.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
Who's eating a sandwich in his truck and ranting about something.
Jerry Goff from Mister Nice Guy. I wonder whatever happened
to his kid Andre's toilet? From the King Rory that's
his answer? Page down, saw Man.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Says it was it Young Master Splinter. Was that the answer?
Chris and Houston?
Speaker 1 (35:05):
Yes by Shane of des Moines can't read that. Calvin
Ridley guessed by Ike and Roseville, Minnesota. Matthew Warrior Raider
Fan has a nice photo of Danny and Miami. I
don't know how you found that photo of him. Pretty
good job by you. Solid the Grill Sergeant says, the
answer has gotta be Tommy Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Need a little win here boy.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Who else do we have? Billy Joe Dupree from Robin, Minnesota.
The answer is Elmo Yes by our buddy Masshole Mickey.
It's the bas from Eloy from Compton. Thoughtful Mike, there's
a blast in the past. Whatever happened to thoughtful Mike?
That's from dat boy Malcolm Page down, skip.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Over that one. All right, Eddie, do you have an answer? Eddie?
Speaker 6 (35:54):
I'm gonna go with former Fredzo State Bulldog great Davante Adams.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
I'm gonna go with Davante Adams. Well, Eddie, as you know,
and thank you for getting it wrong. Eddie, you're playing
a long bit.
Speaker 4 (36:04):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
The answer is Devonte Adams, you schmuck, screw you, You're
a loser, was yourself. It's all Lareda, Lareda. I'm going
to ask you the questions again, Eddie. I gave him
an opportunity again.
Speaker 8 (36:22):
Chance so jealous that I get these right.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
Lara, let me ask you the question. Uh blank? Was
second in the NFL? I don't know. Go ahead, hit
the music. How about that to the third degree? I'm protesting, Eddie.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
This is one big gets grilled.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Kob.
Speaker 9 (36:42):
So.
Speaker 7 (36:42):
It was thought that the Cavaliers would trade some of
their big pieces this offseason, but instead they've signed them
all to extensions. Senator Jared Allen was the latest to
sign a MAX extension with the team, joining Donovan Mitchell
and Evan Mobley. Ben, do you think running it back
is the right move by Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Yes, there'll be a playoff team.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
They'll lose in the first round of the playoffs, and
they'll sell tickets and they'll create I am blown away
by this. Everything I heard was that Donovan Mitchell wasn't
gonna be back. They were gonna end up having to
get rid of him, and they have been mobiley thing.
I don't think it's a shock, but they in general
pulled the crazy ivan in Cleveland Strip Club. John somewhere
(37:20):
in Cleveland's like, what's going on here? What's up with that?
I don't understand. But they're gonna be a playoff team
in the East. But I don't see them closing the gap.
I know they changed coaches, but I'm not buying it.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
Next.
Speaker 7 (37:32):
John Morant's agent had a warning for the rest of
the league this week. He said, John Morant is coming
for all the work this year, all of it. How
soon they forget That's all I'll say. He's about to
come for it. Ben, do you think John Morant will
be able to regain his pre gun incident superstar status.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
No, they're talking to talk. You gotta walk the walk.
Just keep your nose clean, keep your gun empty. That's
all you have to do. Next.
Speaker 7 (37:57):
I don't really have time to read this, Ben, so.
Speaker 8 (38:00):
Yeah, I'm gonna I'm just gonna failure you right now.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
Coop has no way of shortening your questions. It's fascinating.
All right there it is.
Speaker 8 (38:10):
I win
Hello and welcome. It's our numb bird IWO. Make sure
you stop behind the line and here a number two
hour number two. Where have you heard a key player
for the Chargers get hurt before? Like every other season? Well,
Justin Herbert is the latest going snap crackle pop down
for the count for the Bolts.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Give me your reaction to that.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Also, where does this injury to Justin Herbert leave Jim
Harbaugh and his first year as coach of the Chargers. Also,
give me your school of thought on the NFL scoring
a win on appeal in that direct TV lawsuit.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
We'll discuss that and a whole lot more.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
It's all coming your way right now. It's malor and
you in our number two forget about it.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Here it is.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
It is a.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Power outage, Well gume.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahlor Show.

Man play the hits.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
From Pro Football.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
We go to the Bolt where they have a pizza
oven shaped like a helmet and they eat Wolfgang Puck.
It's almost like they've won a bunch. They haven't. There
was a power Eyders that took place. Now, if you
didn't hear about this, maybe not. We learned that the
Chargers starting quarterback Justin Herbert Snap, crackle pop. Now he's
(02:15):
being listed as week to week, aren't we all with
a foot injury. The injury is to the right foot
of Justin Herbert. The Chargers are saying it's not that
big a deal, but he's going.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
To be in a booty.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
And when you're in a booty, and we're not talking
about booty, you're in a booty, that's a problemse So
here's gonna have a boot for the next couple of weeks.
At least, and then they say that he will eventually
slowly return. They'll slowly ramp up his return now despite
the injury, the Chargers.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Are hopeful, that's a weasel term.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
They're hopeful that Justin Herbert will be ready for Week
one when the Raiders get to play that extra home game.
In La Raiders and Chargers, it's on like Donkey Kong
at Sofi in the hood in Inglewood and the Raiders
in Charges alten up the season in week one.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
So I would say, don't hold your breath.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Easton Stick is warming up in the back there, the
fifth round pick from North Dakota State. He is the
backup job option for the Chargers. So let us discuss
the question Justin Herbert going down, down, down for the Bolts.
Give me your reaction. So I've got jim Nantz, Battle
of the Bulge and Gus Buss and we will combine
(03:34):
all of these things together and we are going to
make a honey wagon, which is what the swimmers in
Pere were swimming through the Paris Olympics there the other day,
swimming through the honey wagon.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
The back of a honey wagon.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
If you don't know what honeywagon is look it up
right now, num ber Wo. So all of the blood,
sweat and tears of train and here we are as
the Chargers have.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Done it again. You could say a.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Tough break or spraying for the bolts that they know
a thing or two about injuries. The Chargers, i believe,
are gussing up the status, pouring sugar on top. This
is a box checking exercise for us. It's a box
checking exercise because you can now mark the box that
(04:26):
a starting quarterback has been dinged up prior.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
To the start of the regular season.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
And Jim Nantz can remind you that it is a
tradition unlike any other. For Justin Herbert, it stinks. It's
l stinko. However, he will be back at some point. Right,
I'll be Benny bright'side. Right, there is a silver lining here,
and what is the silver lining? If you're Justin Herbert,
(04:54):
you want to check the back pocket.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Now.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
The reason you want to check the back pocket is
because right there there's a Monopoly car. If you take
the monopoly card out, yeah, that's it. Take it out,
and then you look at the monopoly card.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
It's a get out of jail free card.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
So you've got that right, and so Herbert has freedom
because if he goes out there and stinks, poops the bed,
he can just pull out of his back pocket the
monopoly card. It's about I was hurt, missed most of camp. Sorry,
that's what happened. It's not my fault. Shrug his shoulder.
(05:28):
If he plays well, it's like, oh what a gladiator.
He overcame an amazing setback and he played great football.
So he has an alibi if he sucks. That's what
I'm saying now page two, we are staying with the
same theme with the Chargers. Where does this injury to
Justin Herbert leave Jim Harbaugh in his first season back
(05:51):
in the NFL with the Chargers. So after a minutes
long analysis of what's going on with the Chargers is
not being stuck in a pickle jar Jim Harball? What
if I told you he's not worried. Like everything that
we are hearing from people that are in the know
is that there's a priority to change the culture in LA.
(06:15):
With the Chargers, it's the battle of the bulge for
Jim Harbough. I'll bet you that those khaki pants a
little chubby, little chubby with justin Herbert nursing an injury,
the Chargers and their offensive coordinator Greg Roman can now
focus on physicality. Now, backup, we mentioned the backup Eastern
(06:37):
Stick who is more than capable not off throwing three
touchdown passes a game that's not gonna happen, but he
can certainly take three steps back and turn to his
right or his left and hand the.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Ball off ground and pound would be the way to go.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
And every one at the top right now of the
Charger's depth chart is an ex poet. They love poetry,
they love former poets. Greg Roman is a former poet
there in Baltimore. But they've got the gust Buss, Gus
Bradley and JK. Rollins, who are the top running backs
right there, and so old Ravens right there until they
(07:15):
need an ambulance to be taken off the field. But
they are the focal point of the backfield. And Jim
Harball wants to slow the game down and old school style.
Can that work for a West Coast dome team. It
works in the Northeast, it works in the Midwest, for
outdoor cold weather teams, It's traditionally worked in those environments, but.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Has it worked.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
If you're playing that style where you cut down in
the amount of times that you pass and you just
hand the ball off most of the time, can that
win you ten or eleven games? Because unless this is
some kind of deep fake, unless this is some kind
of Shenanigans and Jim Harball and all the people that
(08:01):
are around the Chargers are pulling our chain here, that's
exactly what's gonna happen. That they're just gonna slow the
game down and hand the ball off.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
And that's what they're gonna do.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Now, final point, We're gonna go to court, a massive
win for the big guy and a kick in the
nuts from the oligarchy of football to the little guy.
We talked about this story in a previous episode of
the show. We now have a Mallard follow up. Remember
that lawsuit where the NFL was daing four point seven
(08:33):
billion dollars worth a federal judge throughout throughout that verdict,
the four point seven billion dollar jury verdict against the NFL,
and that Sunday ticket case where the NFL was screwing
over their customers by the way they were doing business
on Sunday ticket. Now, the lawsuit included two point four
(08:55):
million residential subscribers, about forty eight thousand big businesses in
the United States that all would have been eligible to
get a check if you paid for the direct TV
package out of market games. And that was over an
eleven year period from twenty eleven to twenty twenty two.
So give me your school of thought on the NFL
(09:17):
scoring a major win on appeal. So my thought, and
we'd talked about this, and we've been very open about
these legal cases.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
The NFL often finds themselves.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
In court because they've got a lot of money, and
so people sue people that have a lot of money.
But this is the NFL's calling card. You just keep
appealing until you find a judge that is sympathetic to
the shield.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
The rich get richer, right, the poor get poorer.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
In this case, two point four million men, women and
children could have gotten a check.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
It wouldn't have been a lot.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
It would have been a few shekels, even though it's
four point seven billion. Now it is likely, though, that
we're not over with this, that this story is not
going to go he said, well, well, wait a minute.
The judge issued in favor of the NFL. Yeah, so
you've got two judges. One issued in favor of the
working man, another ruled in favor of the bureaucracy of football.
(10:16):
So they'll likely appeal. The plaintiffs will appeal again to
the Ninth Circuit Court, and looking into my crystal ball
as a distant relative of No su Damas and friend
of No Studina's, they will win again. The plaintiffs will win,
the people will win. But it's a cat and mouse camp.
So the NFL, what are they gonna do. They're gonna
(10:37):
go back to their calling card. They're going to appeal,
and they'll find a judge that wants tickets in a
luxury box or wants the experience of taking their kids
out to NFL practice and as much NFL merch as
they want, and.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Then they'll win that, and then they'll go to a
higher court and up, up, up, and away we go.

Speaker 7 (13:53):
But I'm kind of scared.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
No, there's no reason to.
Speaker 8 (13:57):
Yeah, I was talking to my.
Speaker 7 (13:57):
Friend about it earlier, was naming off all the names.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
You know, Holler and James, Well, super Market.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Steve will be there with Yeah, the supermarket Steve.
Speaker 7 (14:09):
Some guys I've ever met.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
No, he's a dick, but they might bring some. But
they might well, he.
Speaker 8 (14:15):
Had the shopping card thing, obviously it's better.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Yeah, Well, no, that's fine. But he might bring some
Tierra Massou with him. His wife makes Tierra massous, so
he might bring that. They brought it last time at
the meet and greet. We didn't in l A here,
so uh. And then we got Ernesto's flying in from
the Bay kg B, an old time caller that we
hadn't call him more recently until the other day.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
He'll be there, going to be there, my personal chauffeur.
He is on number two. And this is just like
show Royalty.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
It's gonna be on him and of course the guys
in Vegas that are part of the show. Hey, Buddy
Slug is the host of it. He's the one that
found the venue and did all the leg working for
the boots on the ground. It'll be good, it'll be
everyone's nice. Everyone's nice, and then we'll see how it goes,
(15:04):
and this might become a regular thing in Vegas. Got
a lot of people that listen in Vegas because of
the hours and the fact everyone's working at casino jobs
and they get out, you know, and the shift changes
at midnight or one in the morning, and that's prime
real estate for our show.
Speaker 7 (15:20):
Do you think if we if it becomes a regular thing,
like a yearly thing in Vegas, we can get the
company to pay for it?
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Well they should, no, I mean, listen, it's very fun,
but they should these things right now, these things should
be sponsored. And if you're interested in sponsoring them, reach
out to me. I'll tell you who to talk to.
But they absolutely should be sponsored. I'm right there with you.
And there's you know, there's money to be made by
all parties there, so well, hopefully that'll happen at some point,
let's go to the phones. We'll say hello to Bennett
(15:50):
the Comedian. Who oh, he's gone. Now I feel a
little bad for Ben at the Comedian. Let me tell
you why, because we were pretty rough on Bennett, like we
goofed on him he was in the talent show. But
then I got the rest of the story. And here's
why I feel like a total schmuck.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
You want to know why then, because how old do
you think Bennett is?
Speaker 6 (16:16):
I thought he was in his twenties, sixteen, Okay, kid,
it doesn't matter to me.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
He says.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
He lives about two hours north of Seattle. By the way,
the San Juan Islands are two hours north.
Speaker 7 (16:36):
Look, I mean, look, if if it's something that he
wants to do comedy, be bad at telling jokes, then
oh no, you start experience exactly. You know, it's better
to bomb, you know, behind your phone over the airwaves
than in front of a crowd on stage.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
In my opinion, Yeah, And my advice to Ben and
he was on hold. I was gonna put him on
here is to you know, follow the lead of guys
like Chip in Maine and Eke and roseul Minnesota and
and all these legends that write jokes on the show
Kurt from Earth. These guys are prolific joke writers week
after week, George and Uvaldi, these.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Are the guys that send the jokes in every week.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
And so you do that and you make us laugh
with the Q and A jokes and then you can
move on to some other stuff.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
So that would be my my advice.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
So anyway, what you want, let's go to Andre and
his dog Willis.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Coffel. Hello, Andre, Ben good to be with you.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Listen, you can't take one act too seriously, you know
for the joke tellers out there, Uh, very difficult to
get up you know and kind of command and move
an audience and get them to go along with you.
You know, so everybody bumps, you know as you're talking
about you know, make a looking and you keep on
taking you get back in there. That's kind of the
(18:04):
worry of advice that I have. Now, then we got
to get into you started off talking about the NFL,
and I think it's important because we've got a lot
of stuff going on with the league. Never mind the
number one overall, pick the self proclaimed you know, next
big thing, right, mister Caleb Williams, who has the styles
(18:26):
and the profiles and the painted fingernails and the whole
nine yards, but doesn't want to play in a preseason game,
not even for one series when the game is kind
of overly about him and the resurgence of the team.
I don't agree with that, not one bit. Nonetheless, the
NFL got some tricks up their sleeves. Roger Goodell at
the NFL Draft talking about how the super Bowl this
(18:46):
year is going to be the day before what President's Day? Right,
put that out during the NFL draft. Let people know
you're gonna have the super Bowl and guess what you
got the day off the next day? All right, to
just text that out, you know, and those of us.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
That work in radio, there are no days off, no
days off.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
But for everyone.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Understood, yes, understood then. But the summation point that I'm
making is the kickoff has changed, right, They borrowed, aka
stole that premise that that format from the XFI. I
think it is exactually better because the kickoff has turned
into a non play with all of the touchbacks. But
also the other thing that I think it's going to
be interesting. Have you seen what's going on in practice?
(19:28):
Then with the padding that they're wearing over their helmets.
That makes them look like astronauts.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Oh yeah, those are Yeah, those have been around, they
just but they added that that little piece of cloth
so it kind of looks like a real helmet, like
the normal helmet. Yeah, those are gonna I think those
are gonna be allowed in games this year.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
I think yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
And from a safety standpoint, I get what you're saying.
But from a opticks standpoint, it's gonna take them getting
used to because they're looking.
Speaker 8 (19:57):
Like, yeah, you're you're not guardian caps.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
You're not gonna get used to those. How Why would
you get used to those unless everywhere?
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Because not everyone's gonna wear them like they'll be like
a couple of guys on each team is.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Gonna wear them.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
No, no, you can't do that. It has to be
all or nothing. Bench That looks even worse if you
have some running around with the helmet the other. No,
it's got to be one of the other.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
What are you a fashion? He's where's Willis? By the way?
What happened? What did you do to Willis?
Speaker 4 (20:25):
Willis is sitting outside. He was angry, all right? Willis
was angry?
Speaker 9 (20:29):
All right?
Speaker 8 (20:29):
What did you do? Willis.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
You've been a resting Willis. You know he's he's you know,
he's got.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
It now, he's he's fascinated by this dog. I might
have to come see this dog next time I'm in Boston.
I might have to come by and I'll go out
to you.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
You're at Where are you at? You're are you in
the island? Out there? Where you at?
Speaker 4 (20:46):
I'm on the mainland, I'm in the barn state.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Okay, you're on the's now been.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Allowed to entering. You know, he has his own layer.
But he's hanging out, you know, no no barking, but
you know he's he's in a place for.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
But I want to get this amazing. Every dog I've
ever known barks. Your dog does not bark. This is
fascinating to me that your.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Dog, well, this is not crime barking. Okay, you heard
right there. You get a little bit animated.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
But here.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
The whole vibration. But what I want to conclude, Thanks
so much for the time. Then it was alleged yes
and not not yesterday the day before that, I don't
have a restroom in my residence where people were saying
that it was doubtful because I couldn't plus the toilet
on queue, then that I don't have a restroom in
my residence and I live in some nineteen hundreds home
with an outhouse. Okay, just like the doubters about Willis
(21:43):
my dog was having a good time. We do have
indoor restrooms in uh in barn Stable where I live
in the mid kids. I just I just want to
spell that I can't flush it on command because frankly been,
I'm a little nervous about what's going on in France
and that in the river. I don't want.
Speaker 9 (21:57):
I don't want you.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (21:59):
I understand? All right, Well, thank you, have a good weekend. Well,
all right, well chat next week.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
There's our friend Andre from the Commonwealth, and let the
record show he does have a toilet in his house.
Speaker 7 (22:11):
I'm still not convinced he has a dog though.
Speaker 8 (22:14):
Bet the breathing is so weird, like it's.
Speaker 7 (22:17):
Definitely a dog.
Speaker 8 (22:20):
I don't know, definitely, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
If I go.
Speaker 7 (22:22):
Definitely it is, I can tell it's a dog. And
also not all dogs.
Speaker 8 (22:26):
I've heard your animal sounds.
Speaker 7 (22:28):
Not dogs speak on command.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
All right, So we have a fat Seals update now,
Mallard prop guy who brought a nice pizza in the
other day.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
It was it good? I didn't have it? He was
it was good? Yes, did you eat it all? It
was no.
Speaker 8 (22:47):
I think there was some leftover. I think he took
finish well.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Of course, imagine once you eat pizza, imagine the sounds
that his body made. Anyway, Mallard prop Guy says his
first plan was to go to FATS before he visited
the studio.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
He said, he looked at the men.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
You realized he can make a lot of mistakes when
ordering for VIP stranger.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
So that's the pizza.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
It But next time, now that you know it's Mallard
prop guy, you know if next time we invite you in,
you can come by, or you invite yourself and send
me an email and I'll give you everyone's request. Midnight
Walker says, I had the Sunday ticket.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
And I was looking for some loot.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
But the NFL they found a judge to give my
hopes the boot. I hope it goes to the highest court.
The NFL is trash. Let's find a judge who wants
to give the little guy some cash.
Speaker 8 (23:38):
Amen.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Well, he's a poet, a poet. Midnight Walker from Syracuse.
A poet, Ferg Dog says, Justin Herbert's in a walking boot,

dropping like flies? I sure hope nothing happens to you.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Ben.
Speaker 8 (23:53):
Oh geez, you don't want to say that.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
I think I'll be okay. But thank you, Fergie.

Cooper, are you ready for another statue outside of Crypto
dot Com arena? We're gonna have another Kobe Bryant statue?
This soon will be of here. I have been to
a lot of sectaries. There are more statues outside that arena.
It's wild.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
You know.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
The Yankees are addicted to giving like retiring numbers. The
Lakers are. They just love these.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
It's not just the Lakers, it is the Kings as well,
have a bunch of statues.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
They've got clippers. Never sullied that arena.
Speaker 8 (24:41):
There was nobody worthy of a statue.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Ralph Lawler could have gotten a statue Blake All back
in the day, Clipper, Darryl.
Speaker 8 (24:53):
Stop on the ground.
Speaker 6 (25:00):
You're a jerk, Eddy, You're a jerk.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Kobe being a friend of the show.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
He's been in studio, he's going to be back at
the ind of It home and I want you to
know our guy Seger who was you know, he does
the video stuff. He's one of the video guys here
in the video department at Fox. He texts me he
was at the into it though. They had an open
house on Thursday night.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
The place is a palace. My god, it is awesome.
So good.
Speaker 6 (25:31):
Kobe Bryant and his daughter will be immortalized with another
statue outside of Crypto dot com rata. So Kobe had
the two different jersey numbers retired. He now as the
first player to have two statues outside of the.
Speaker 8 (25:47):
Arena as well. So there's that.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Okay, that's wonderful. That tells you the Lakers are going
to suck next year. They're doing the statue thing, right.
That's the teams that don't when they retire numbers and
they put the statues up and they who's left.
Speaker 8 (26:01):
Coop, by the way, is there anyone left that needs
a statue that he doesn't have a statue.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
I don't know. That's funny.
Speaker 7 (26:07):
Teams that don't win are the ones that do statues
and and and retire numbers. That's like the Yankees, they
never won before, the Lakers they've never won before. All right,
let's see as far as statues left, is.
Speaker 8 (26:21):
Lebron gonna get one? I guess Lebron probably get one.
Speaker 7 (26:23):
Right, he will get one?
Speaker 9 (26:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (26:25):
Uh, Derek Fisher should have one?
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Oh wow? Yeah?
Speaker 8 (26:32):
Everyone Fish?
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (26:35):
Is there like a base requirement for this though?
Speaker 2 (26:37):
No?
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Well, typically you're supposed to be like a Lakers have
played for the Lakers, Rick Fox, give him a statue?
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Come on, stop it? Why not?
Speaker 7 (26:45):
Rick Fox doesn't even have like a defining moment, you know.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Derek Fish, how about he had one? I think you
might have one.
Speaker 7 (26:55):
Okay, So Robert Rory, there there's an argument to be
made there.
Speaker 6 (27:00):
Uh's got his jersey numbers, so you think he'd be statue.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
I thought they gave him a statue, didn't give me
sta Are you sure? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (27:07):
I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Yeah, I thought they did.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Remember when Kareem Kareem complained he wanted a statue, so
they gave him one.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
He complained, it was embarrassing.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
He does deserve one, but you know, but you can't
be publicly complaining that you have a statue.
Speaker 8 (27:25):
He's like, come on, my statue.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Kareem is an interesting dude. He's complicated. There's a lot
of layers to Kareem. Yeah, they definitely are.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Mallard prop guy says, what are the odds the plaque
on the new Kobe Bryant statue will be proof read accurately?
Speaker 2 (27:43):
This time they screwed up.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Multiple Yeah, there have been a lot of a lot
of mistakes there. Ferg dog wants to know why Andre's
dog sounds like he's licking peanut butter. All right, let's
go back to the phone. Is tiger Man there? Let's
say a little tiger Man is in?
Speaker 9 (28:05):
Yes, Big day, Big Day, Fall camp started today. We
had we had Micah Baskerville start for the Bears tonight
and of course Michaeh Baskerville linebacker and and do too well.
But uh, you know, it was nice to see him
(28:25):
out there and running around and putting the jersey on.
That's all that really matters at the end of the day. Uh, yeah, Beniel,
we got three more for those.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
That don't know the bit for for those that don't
know the bit, tiger Man, even though he's in Utah,
his heart is in Baton Rouge, and so he calls
up with LSU propaganda. Would that be accurate, tiger Man?
Would that be an accurate if I were to write,
like you know how you write. You make a movie
and you have to write in one line with the plot,
is that's the plot of your phone calls?
Speaker 9 (28:55):
Well, it's not propaganda. I'm just spreading the spreading the
word of the best game in college football. Well, you know,
then we got three more weeks, so we have three
ACC teams and three now West teams all play on
the same day. Very exciting. Then you know, big big month.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Up that and you are going to a game this year?
Speaker 1 (29:19):
You said, didn't you say in a previous call that
you're going to be in bat On Ruge for a game?
Speaker 9 (29:25):
Well, I'll be in that rooms for the Oklahoma game
and then of course the Vegas game. You know we
play USC Labor Day weekend on that Sunday, so you know,
got guy go the game obviously for that. But then
you know, just just really excited. I think BK has
a great team this year and yeah, we'll.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Leave it there. Very good. Thank you Tiger Man as
our man.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
He was going to be in Vegas, but he said
he couldn't make Matthew Warrior Raider Tom Brady roast fan
says Mark Mattson needs a statue about Kurt Rambis. I'm
super Rambis doesn't have a statue because his wife is
besties with Genie Buss. That's from Jason, So I am
a surprise Rambis doesn't have one. But it's been so
(30:09):
long now, I know it's like, can you really give
a guy, another guy from the eighties a statue. I
mean that's forty years ago. I don't know about that.
That's like time. Too much time has passed. If you're
gonna give a statue, you had to do it within
like the last twenty years ago.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
You had to give him a statue.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
It is the Ben Maler show. So go fly a kite.
That's essentially what the Olympic people did. There was a
race that was canceled at the Paris Olympics because of
a lack of wind. Olympic sailors spent all day waiting
(30:44):
for the green light to go.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Men's and women's skiff finals.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
I don't even know what that is, but they need wind,
and they spent hours on their boat. It was ridiculously
hot in Paris yesterday. How hot it was ninety five
degrees fahrenheit thirty five degrees if you'd like that Celsius.
And so they were waiting around. They kept waiting and
they were like, well, maybe we're gonna get start, you
(31:10):
know soon, and they're just baking. They were being charboiled
in the sun. And then eventually they said, and after
baking in the sun for hours, ah, we're good.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
We're not gonna do it right now. Maybe we'll do
it tomorrow, which is today, as it's early in the
morning in France. So if the wind picks up, they
they couldn't. They couldn't do the event.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
That's it is a metal race, and they couldn't do
it because there's no win win, there's no wind, there's
no wind.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Cannot do it.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Shit, got a bunch of gas bags out there, and
they could have figured it out. We're gonna have mallard
of the third degree. That is warming up right now.
It is in the microwave.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
We'll get to that. But here is the insta.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Trivia Blank was second in the NFL with twenty nine
targets inside of the red zone. However, twenty point seven
percent of those said targets were inaccurate throws, the highest
rate for any wide receiver with fifteen or more targets
(32:08):
in the red zone last season. Again, there's a lot
of moving parts to this. To listen closely, blank was
second in the NFL with twenty nine targets inside of
the red zone. However, twenty point seven percent of those
targets that were charted were inaccurate throws. That's the highest
rate of any wide receiver with fifteen or more targets
(32:29):
in the red zone last season. That is the instead
trivia the answer, and we will get the mallard of
the third degree.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
We will do it next.

was second in the NFL in red zone targets, but
twenty point seven percent.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Of those were inaccurate.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
We're inaccurate from the quarterback, the highest rate of any
wide receiver with fifteen or more targets in the red
zone last season. That is the question. And what on
God's green Earth is the answer? Let's see does anyone
know the answer? Alf The Alano piner says the answer
is Fremont Street. Love Fremont Street. Got to get out

an after party at Fremont Street.

Speaker 6 (35:54):
I'm gonna go with former Fredzo State Bulldog great Davante Adams.
Speaker 2 (35:57):

Kob.
Speaker 9 (36:42):
So.
Speaker 7 (36:42):
It was thought that the Cavaliers would trade some of
their big pieces this offseason, but instead they've signed them
all to extensions. Senator Jared Allen was the latest to
sign a MAX extension with the team, joining Donovan Mitchell
and Evan Mobley. Ben, do you think running it back
is the right move by Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Yes, there'll be a playoff team.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
They'll lose in the first round of the playoffs, and
they'll sell tickets and they'll create I am blown away
by this. Everything I heard was that Donovan Mitchell wasn't
gonna be back. They were gonna end up having to
get rid of him, and they have been mobiley thing.
I don't think it's a shock, but they in general
pulled the crazy ivan in Cleveland Strip Club. John somewhere
(37:20):
in Cleveland's like, what's going on here? What's up with that?
I don't understand. But they're gonna be a playoff team
in the East. But I don't see them closing the gap.
I know they changed coaches, but I'm not buying it.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
Next.
Speaker 7 (37:32):
John Morant's agent had a warning for the rest of
the league this week. He said, John Morant is coming
for all the work this year, all of it. How
soon they forget That's all I'll say. He's about to
come for it. Ben, do you think John Morant will
be able to regain his pre gun incident superstar status.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
No, they're talking to talk. You gotta walk the walk.
Just keep your nose clean, keep your gun empty. That's
all you have to do. Next.
Speaker 7 (37:57):
I don't really have time to read this, Ben, so.
Speaker 8 (38:00):
Yeah, I'm gonna I'm just gonna failure you right now.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
