Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom, shaka laka. It's our numb ber two. Our number
two is ready for you. And we go to the
Bay Area where general manager John Lynch says that wide
receiver Brandon Ayuc has played his last snap with the Niners.
So where does he end up? And how likely are
(00:21):
the Niners to find an injury smoking gun with the
electromagnetic field conspiracy that's going around. Also buy or sell
the Eagles offensive coordinator job not being attractive? Say what
I'll talk about all that as well. We have Mallard
of the third degree. It is coming your way right
(00:42):
now here.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
It is.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Sometimes you're the windshield and sometimes you're the bug. Welcome
in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahler Show.
We are in the air Evy where bede as we

So our lead this hour. We start out in northern California,
fresh off getting their lunch handed to them by the
Seattle Seahawks and a no show effort, The forty nine
ers gave the State of the team address Kyle Shanahan
(03:06):
and John Lynch. The star of the show would be
John Lynch, the GM there who confirmed that the Niners
are about to decommission wide receiver Brandon Iuck this offseason.
So if you didn't see this or hear it, maybe
not a Lynch. He announced that it's it's time, not
(03:26):
quite yet, but in due time the wins of change
will be blowing. Let's go to the audio tape. Here's
John Lynch. Take a listen.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
You know the plan in terms of the transaction that
will come in due time. I think it's safe to
say that he that, you know, he's played his last
snap with the Niners. It's unfortunate situation that just went awry,
and I will look long and hard at you know,
what could have been done differently, but sometimes just doesn't
work out, and I think that this was this was
(03:53):
a case where that happened.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
All right, So played his last snap with the Niners
will come in due time. Didn't work out, blah blah
blah blah blah. Now keep in mind, this is not
just your run of the mill roster move like this
is like a lot of what this guy held in
during training camp in twenty twenty four and then signed
a four year contract for one hundred and twenty million dollars.
(04:15):
Now you'd think with that kind of extension you'd be
putting on a happy face. Not this guy. No, No,
this is next level hutzba. He appeared in just seven
games before he had a big bowl of rice crispy
snap crackle pop, and then the injury, and so the
Niners now finally they could have moved him even though
he didn't play this past season. They if he'd gone
(04:38):
to another team, he likely would have been able to play.
But they held on to him, and so now they're
gonna trade him or who knows, release him. It's all
a good jumping off points. So let us discuss as
you heard the Niners GM there John Lynch saying that
Brandon Iyack has played his last snap with the forty
nine ers, So where does he end up? Let's play
the speculation game. So I've got jim Nance, miss Stream
(05:00):
Machine and Philly Pops, and we'll combine all of these
things together, and we're gonna make birthday cake with great
frosting and milk is what we're gonna make. That's that's
what we're doing. Put those things together. Yum yum to
your tomb tumb So a Brandon Ayuck is more than
just damaged goods. He is completely covered from head to
(05:21):
toe with moles and warts. He's got more warning labels
on him than a bottle of draino at this particular point. Now,
he did the Niners dirty. He did the Niners dirty,
the whole a wall thing and all that. And John Lynch,
and some of this is on the Niners. You got
to know your employees, right. They clearly misread the room.
(05:41):
They thought Brandon Ayuk had the fighting spirit. They thought
he was a competitor. They thought he wanted to win,
wanted to play hard, wanted to do his job. Clearly
he wasn't all of those things. Otherwise you wouldn't be
in this particular situation. And so John Lynch got the
jim Nance Breakfast special. Burnt toast is what he got.
He got burned burn, baby burn and does he even
(06:03):
does the player even want to play football? Or the
question must be asked, is Brandon Ayuck looking for a
team to go to to bankroll his sabbatical so he
can continue to make a lot of money and do nothing. Now,
Brandon iok becomes the ultimate high end reclamation project. There's
a lot of people in the NFL that believe in
(06:24):
the father Flannagan mantra. But he's got flashing warning labels
that are that they're popping up everywhere. However, again, I
go back to the NFL mantra. Talent trumps all. It's
the never give up on talent thesis that the NFL
runs by, and so spinning the malor wheel of speculation
(06:44):
for Brandon Ayuk and round and round and round, big money,
big money, no womys stop. All right, So you've got
the Steelers, the Bills and the Chiefs all lined up.
It's like speed dating at a dive bar, is what
it is at two in the morning before the bar clos.
There's no risk it, no biscuit. That was Bruce Arians
line from back of the day. All of those teams,
(07:06):
the Steelers, Bills, and Chiefs obviously pop up on the
malar wheel of speculation. They are devoid of elite level
playmakers at the wide receiver position. All of them are
in the American Football Conference, and all of them are
at the point now where they'd be willing to take
a player who's tarnished and he's got cooties like Brandon
Aya because they're desperate, right, They're desperate, and so they
(07:28):
need the player. They need a talent upgrade. You're willing
to overlook things like people that don't want to do
their job now. Meanwhile, we stay in the Bay Area
where forty nine ers GM. John Lynch also confirmed during
the end of season news conference that the team is
going to investigate the viral ticktalk theory linking electromagnetic fields
(07:54):
from a nearby electrical substation to the persistent in problems.
You might remember any previous episode, we discussed this very topic,
and we pointed out that the science on this has
been been done over the years because there's people that
just live near these substations and they think that something's happening,
and so they studied it and they determined that they're
(08:16):
and who knows whether you believe this or not, but
they determined that there was nothing there there anyway. Here's
John Lynch talking about the forty nine ers investigating tike
a list.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
You have to look into everything, and so our guys
have been We've been reaching out to anyone and everyone
to see does a study exist other than a guy
sticking an apparatus underneath the fence and by coming up with
a number that I have no idea what that means.
That's what we know exists. We've heard that debunked, you know,
So yes, we will look into it.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
We have and we'll always be cognizant of things.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
I know that a lot of games have been won
at this facility, you know, since it opened. But yeah,
we aren't going to turn a blind eye.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
We'll look into everything. Okay. So the question how likely,
just between us, how likely are the forty nine ers
to find in a smoking gun an injury smoking gun
with the electromagnetic field conspiracy that popped up on social media.
So in the cartoon bubble above my head on the
(09:17):
right side of my head, right you can't see because
it's radio, but above my head, John Lynch is out
there driving the mystery machine. He's sniffing around and right
around the electromagnetic field conspiracy like Scooby Dooby doo ret row.
Somebody get that man some Scooby snacks right now. Next,
(09:37):
they're gonna blame what. They're gonna blame our friend Andrea,
the astrology insider. They're gonna say, the reason the forty
nine ers keep getting hurt is because mercury is in retrograde.
They're gonna investigate that, and then maybe after that the
moon phase pulled a hamstring or something like that. This
is a first class ticket to Bakersville, is what this is.
(10:01):
You've got the low frequency EMF turning ligaments into what
pulled pork? Is that what's going on here? And so
okay delicious put some barbecue sauce on it showed me
the science. Of course, there is no science to back
this up. Zero zilch, not a bupkus, whatever word you
want to use. It's kind of like blaming the popcorn
(10:23):
burning because of the Wi Fi football has been a
demolition derby. It's car crashes with shoulder pads, and there's
also this thing called randomness and variance involved in it.
And say, well, this wasn't great and we've had some injuries.
That's the way the cookie crumbles and people are looking
(10:45):
desperately for both engagement and to try to find a
fall guy, because you got to have a fall guy,
very important, have a fall guy. So, like, I know
what it is. It's not that these guys just are
injury prone or it's just bad luck. It's the substance man. Yeah,
that's the ticket. It's the substanc Well, good luck. Here's
the other problem with this. Now, I've pointed out that
(11:07):
there's some things that have been done over the year,
peer reviewed studies that have said that this is not true. However,
even if you think there is something there, Even if
there is something, don't you believe that the Niners would
be better off bearing it? Like Jimmy Hoffef, you know
who that is. Back in the day, this would be
Pandora's box by the bay Let's Workshop. This like, what's
(11:30):
in the box? What do you think this means? So
if the Niners came out and said, you know what,
the players were right, The players were absolutely right, and
these gamma rays what you might call it's coming from
the do hickey and it's causing these injuries. So you
open that box up and you have billboard lawyers circling
(11:53):
like seagulls. When you drop a French fry at the beach, right,
they will be everywhere there is there is, you know
they're there. And if there is a there there, you
can't admit it because then then you've got some issues
like that. Not the Gamma ray thing, not the Tampa
Bay ray thing. It's just it's bad luck. It's a
violent sport. And then but you can put the X
(12:14):
Files music on if you want. If you're into the
X Files, you know that will show back in the day.
You can put that on all right. Now, last word
to fill at Delphia we go where the Eagles are
having no luck getting an offensive coordinator despite winning a
Super Bowl a couple of years ago and being a
consistent playoff team. We are told the Eagles have interviewed
now former Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Naggi, who was let
(12:38):
go by Andy Reid for the offensive coordinator vacancy in Philadelphia. Now,
Naggy exploring any kind of a job you can get
as Andy Reid's replaced him with Eric b Enemy and
the job that he was in line to get. The
assumption was he was going to get the Tennessee Titans job.
And then they talked the Robert Salad talked the socks
(12:59):
off the front office, and so Sala's now the coach,
and so Naggie's scrambling to find a job. This comes
amid reports recently claiming that Philadelphia has a problem that
coach Nick Sirianni is having legitimate issues when Howie Roseman
filling the Eagles offensive coordinator vacancy. Now the reporting claimed
it's an unappealing job to candidates due to the intense
(13:23):
pressure of coaching in Philadelphia. So I'd like to address
that the question do you buy or sell? Do you
buy or sell the Eagles offensive coordinator job being unattractive? Right,
is not attractive at all, unappealing, whatever word you want
to use. So this is to me, it's not a
(13:45):
coaching search. It's a game of who's left at this
particular point. So I am buying the fact that the
job is unattracted to think of it like Quasimoto from
The Hunchback of Notre Dame. That being said, I do
not buy the pressure part of it. I think that
is a load of hot poo poo is what I think.
Don't give me the Philadelphia is a hard place to coach. Garbs.
(14:06):
If you're a coach, it doesn't matter. Like the Mallard diagnoses.
I believe the reason the Eagles are having problems getting
that job filled it's the JH factor. What is the
JH factor? It's Jalen Hurts. Yes, he's a two hundred
and fifty five million dollar quarterback. He's also the platypuss
in the room, is what he is. Jalen Hurts for
(14:27):
all the good things that he does, like the tushy push,
the leadership, the quotes. It's like back in the day
you used to have these calendars with motivational quotes. He's
liked that. Jalen Hurts is the conductor of the Eagles offense,
but he's the conductor who cannot read the music sheet.
He only knows a few notes. He's really good at
those notes, but he only knows a few notes. He's
(14:48):
the star of the Philly Pops. However, he cannot hit
the high notes. That's a problem. You want a deep ball,
it's a It's a total eclipse, lunar eclipse, rare, dark
and leaves everyone staring at the sky wondering where the
light went. And then you've got Nick Sirianni, the Rock
paper scissors guy who's presiding over the three ring circus
(15:09):
in Philadelphia and the tents on fire. There's no water.
It's organizational instability. It's not because of the pressure though,
it's this is a Sirianni special. Where you change coordinators,
you got to have someone to blame. You always blame
the offensive coordinator. They changed coordinators in Philadelphia, as we
(15:31):
talked about when Jalen hurts at the end of the
Eagles season. They got rid of the offensive coordinators. Like
they change coordinators more than a lot of us change sacks.
And you're not an offensive coordinator in Philadelphia. You're a
human shield. So the coach can blame someone, and the
quarterback can blame someone when they fail at their job.
(15:51):
And it's like, do you really want to pilot a
plane when the engines are sputtering and there's no mechanic
to fix it and the pilot is busy there arguing
with the flight attendant and you're the assistant pilot and
you're like, what's going on? You're the co pilot and
so yeah, the other thing, you're gonna get good money,
(16:12):
so you take the job. It's attempt job, So you
don't want to really lock in, you gotta rent, maybe
do a Verbo or something like that. Airbnb it you
don't buy a place because you're not gonna be there
that long, and then you take the bag of money
and you move on down the yellow brick road somewhere
else and get another coaching job down the line. It

Machine at ben mallor if you would like to be part.
Fami writes in, says, brandon Ia just might be Le'Veon
(19:57):
Bell two point zero, throwing away generation wealth. He's on
that path. Leveon's next level though, like this guy. I
guess he showed up some of the season Randon and
then decided at some point he wanted to ghost the
forty nine ers and just stop returning messages and all that.
(20:21):
And Le'Veon Bell was in Miami, remember that season, and
he had the franchise tag and he did want to
play for it, and so he just sat there on
the beach and had like Mike ties and hung out
with girls in bikinis on jet skis, which doesn't sound bad,
but he was turning down a lot of money, a
lot of money. Ferg Dog writes in from the Winter
Wonderland of Fullerton. He says, I happened to suffer from
(20:45):
electromagnetic hypersensitivity, so I can assure you what's happening to
the Niners is real. Ferg Dog says, I can't leave
the house without feeling ill with all those electric waves
and whatnot, which is why I listened to the Ben
Maler Show on a loop all day. That sounds very healthy.
Sounds very very healthy. Now, Joe the ghost Hunter writes in.
(21:10):
He says, I have studied EMF for about twenty years.
I know high EMF can make a person sick and
see things or hear things that are not there. It
is part of paranormal investigating. I deal with that all
the time, says Joe the ghost Hunter. Late Night Drug
Tester writes in and says, I'm sure the Niners are
getting the best experts to study the electromagnetic forces. They
(21:33):
are currently listening over to Coast to coast with mister
Norri there right now to start a panel discussion. In fact,
they may ask you for Doc Mike's number, Late Night
Drug Tester says, to help out the training staff. Yeah,
we'll go west of the Rockies. Or is it east
of the Rockies? Eileen writes and says, something happened to
(21:54):
Brandon Iock. The pgn E substation clearly poisoned him. Yes,
I'm sure that's exactly what happened. Now, mister irrigation from
the Great State of Texas and Houston writes in, and
let's see here, what do we have, page Dan, do
you find it odd? That I found AFL West versus
(22:15):
AFL East Patriots versus Proncos game has never occurred. Interesting
fun AFL history. What are the odds been? What are
the odds that you would look it up? The odds
you would look it up are like ninety nine percent.
The odds that they didn't play each other. I guess
that would be below ten percent, that would be where
that was. And Kathy and Madison's very excited. She says
(22:38):
she literally heard Kathy and Madison the moment she tuned in. Well,
you're admitting, Kathy that you were not listening last hour.
It's a bad job by you. You were not listening
last hour. That's it. That's the admission. Shame on you,
Shame on you. Mikey says that he thinks that the
Air Force alien technology is involved with the forty nine ers,
(22:58):
that there's some lizard people in all that. All right,
let's go to the phones. It is a call in show,
and we'll start out with bring it homes your room
in Charleston. Hello, bring it homes your room. Welcome.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
Hey, I got a couple of things, got to get
off from my chairs. The NFL is becoming as corrupt
as baseball and basketball. They don't call traveling in basketball
then go off three seconds. They don't call offensive fouls. Okay,
that will passing the faience cole commit cut that touchdown pass.
(23:32):
I've watched that play and means four times maybe five?
Did you see the guy learch for it? And they
commit catches the task that's not passing appears, and Chris
Consvert and Mike to Rico down two of the biggest sellouts,
along with certain people on Fox. That was offensive passing
(23:54):
offense because you see the other defensive guy from RAMS.
He's throwing his arms up like, hey, he pushed off.
How the hell can you catch your pass? I mean
to pass that far and the guys standing right next
to you when the past's in there, and all of
a sudden, you're standing there by yourself and he's like
at least two steps away from you.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Know, you know, you know what I loved Jerome. You're
all worked up into it. You worked up into a ladder.
Here it's Thursday. This happened on the weekend. You're still
very angry. I love that.
Speaker 5 (24:25):
This.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
I hate corrupt you. Okay, I'm easy. Hold.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Second, the NFL would argue all these sports leagues. This
is how they get out of this. You know what
they get out of jail free card for these sports
leagues is you know what it is, no one word subjective.
They will argue that officiating. That's what they'll tell you.
It's subjective.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Horse crap it. I don't know if bull crap it.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
There's my horse craft because horse crap that's the big chunks. Okay, Stephi, doesn't.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
That horse trap? Also, I read about this because I
was wondering what the world was like before cars and
people used horses to get around because horses would just
go to the bathroom whenever they wanted. And I read
this online and I don't know if it's true. Maybe
somebody with horses can back this up. So horse crap
it kind of evaporates pretty quickly, like it doesn't, it
doesn't keep its form. It Well, you brought up, you
(25:19):
brought it up. I'm just I just thought of that.
And that's all.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
By the way, I gotta tell you, I gotta tell
you and Cooper Shuble about Denver. I went to military
school there for a couple of months and I lived
there for three years. Outside of uh Denver call so
as far as knowing Denver, he doesn't even know anyway,
know as much about Denver as I do. Okay, I
(25:43):
was all all of that place.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Man, are you bragging? Now you're being You're just bragging.
Nobody wants a bragger. Cooper's in Cooper's in Denver, Jerome.
I want you to know. He was in Denver and
some thug stole his backpack. Some losers stole his backpack
from the train there and Denver.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Can't you always keep the stuff close to you whenever
you travel.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Always, always you're always blaming you Coop for having you.
Speaker 6 (26:08):
I mean, I mean it is kind of it is
kind of my fault.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
But man, there's look, there's stealing stuff out of people
in cemeteries. Okay, you can't trust anybody anymore. That's why
I don't trust. I trust. I trust people as far
as I can throll. Okay, That's how I feel about that.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Good luck, A great way to live your life.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
Great way to Denver, good luck to Denver.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
All all right, thank you, all right, take you take
your meds.
Speaker 6 (26:36):
Horsemen who were decomposes relatively quickly, especially in warm, moist,
well aerated conditions, breaking down in weeks to a few months.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
That's right. Uh, I rememberous because I was like went
back before cars, people had horses going around to think
about cities in the Old West and over and then
be horse crap everywhere, So like what do you how
do you deal with that? Well, it kind of goes
away pretty quick on its own, although imagine me in
the there must have been somebody that had to go
clean the roads of the horse crap. That must have
(27:05):
been a fun job. That's someone's job at Disneyland. Oh yeah,
when they have you're right, yeah, they have the parades
and stuff like that, big beautiful horses. There's even still
the carts that carry you up and down Main Street
that are carried by horses. When I did suffer the
Dodgers years ago, they had every once a year they
had the Budweiser Clydesdale's, you know, those massive beautiful horses,
(27:28):
and they parade the Clydesdale's around the field, right because
it was a promotion for the beer. And a couple
times those horses apparently had too much for lunch and
just unloaded on the warning track at Dodger Stadium. It
was majestic, big giant piles right there, and the people
were running from the ground street to try to clean
(27:49):
it up.
Speaker 6 (27:49):
It was for me to feel like you should time
their meals better, you know, like, oh, maybe not feed
them an hour and a half before the show.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Well, the great thing about being a horses when you
don't really hold they sometimes people will hold it in
because you know, you don't have to wait till you
go to the bathroom. You gotta find a nice place
to go. And then the horse is just like, no,
I gotta go. I'm gonna go, and that's what I'm
gonna do. Let's go to Mikey the insomniac who's in
Tampa and slowly becoming a regular. Hello, Mike, welcome, I.
Speaker 7 (28:17):
Am becoming a regular, Ben Maller and listen, is there
any chance that Lorena could say, hello, Mikey.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
That's actually a cameo request. That'll be fifty dollars through
my website.
Speaker 7 (28:30):
I don't have fifty dollars.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
I don't have and I don't have time to say
your name.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Comes through? Here we go? Everyone quiet, everyone quiet, here
we go? What was your name? Loraino? Come on, he's
Mike's Mike. Lorea is about to do it I'm listening.
Speaker 7 (28:52):
Hi, Mike, that's pretty close. That's pretty close.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Well, well, you look you wanted Mike the insomniac. Is
that what you wanted, Mikey the insomniac?
Speaker 2 (28:59):
What do you know?
Speaker 7 (29:00):
No, I just wondered to say, hello, Mikey.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
That's it. Oh, hold on, let's hello Mikey.
Speaker 7 (29:07):
Ah, there it is that hold everything?
Speaker 4 (29:09):
I thought it was going to be.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
All right, now, let's talk sports. What what? What?
Speaker 7 (29:14):
Listen? I'm sitting here in Tampa, and there's Sean McDermott,
there's Mike Tomlin, and I still have to live with
Todd Bowles. He's a very nice man. I've met him
a hundred times.
Speaker 5 (29:30):
He's great.
Speaker 7 (29:31):
We need something different in Tampa. Sean McDermott and Mike
Tomlin are sitting right there, and we're still with Todd Bowles.
We fired everybody else on the staff, everybody else but.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
The head coach.
Speaker 7 (29:47):
I don't know what the Glaciers are doing. They fired
their soccer coach.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Why not, Mike? Listen, here's what okay? All right, you
gotta go on like Amazon and get some some foodoo
bugaaloo or whatever they're And as long as Tomlin and
McDermott don't get jobs and they're still available. Just that's fine,
because then you just wait and then the Bucks will
have another middling season next year. Most likely there'll be
(30:14):
somewhere around five hundred. Then you get rid of the
coach and then you can hire whoever you want at
that point. So you just got to just gotta make
sure that these guys don't get hired in the next
week or so.
Speaker 7 (30:25):
I don't have that much longer to wait.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
What do you what are you in a hurry for?
What do you play on going somewhere?
Speaker 5 (30:33):
Because we're gonna win eight or nine games next year,
just like you said, I don't want it. I want
to win ten games. If we went one in seven
down the stretch, one in seven, we win one more game,
we're in the playoffs. We're not having this three way
freaking Shenanigans.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Yeah, no, I hear it, I understand, I know, but
it's not like McDermott did much in neither one of those.
Every time I say I like Tomlin because I'm a
Tomlin fan, this guy's holy, this schmuck. He always oh
you like Tom and Tomlin sucks, you know, And I'm
like I like Tom. I'd hire him if I owned.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
It in a row losing sea.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
I know, I'm aware that's a long time, nineteen years.
Speaker 5 (31:20):
Yeah, thank you, Lorena.
Speaker 7 (31:22):
I appreciate it any time you did it.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
All right, Okay, all right, thank you. Calm down now, Lorrain.
If you want, I'm on cameo, So if you want,
I can send you a thing. You can get on
there if you're interested, and then you get points for
getting me on cameo. Yes, oh my gosh, totally do that,
do you. I'll send you a link. And I for
stuff all the time, like Lorain, make you night.
Speaker 6 (31:45):
And I'm like, what, I.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Have a feeling that you'll do much better than I do.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
I need it.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
I need it.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
I do.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Maybe I don't promote it because I don't know whatever.
It's just I have it. And I did say I
was going to raise my price actually, and they gotta
do that. I was supposed to raise man, I'll do that,
you know. They all send it. I'll send you link,
you'll send you link. Let's go to Johnny in Rochester.
What's going on? Hello Johnny? Hello? Jo Oh, Johnny's gone?
How dear Johnny? What a schmuck let's go to Trent
(32:13):
in wichital Hello, Trent, welcome, Hey, what's.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
Going on the man? Hi?
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Trent?
Speaker 4 (32:20):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (32:21):
That Mikey did probably rub the one out already to that.
Speaker 6 (32:25):
That's what I said, But I just you know, I
brilliant respect.
Speaker 8 (32:34):
You know, I wanted to call someone who's opinion I
really respect and highly regarded it as the the one
of the greatest minds in our generation, Ben Mallor.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
And can you save that, Lorena for me? Can you
save that? Because you know whatever Mikey's doing that to me,
what you just said is as good as what my god,
I mean, the holy crap.
Speaker 6 (32:56):
I thought he was about to say something like but
I couldn't get.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Through to Dan Patrick. I couldn't get ahold oft or something.
Speaker 8 (33:07):
Yes, all right, So so the Buffalo owner, Okay, I
want to know, do you think that he is I mean,
he's a billionaire, so you would think he's not stupid, right, No,
But so what that would make him just completely oblivious
to like social cues or anything like that. I mean
(33:31):
when the guy, the guy he's throwing under the bus
the most is the receiver you know, and he you know,
on the team. So how do you even face that guy, Like,
how does that even work?
Speaker 4 (33:43):
Like that? Did he not?
Speaker 8 (33:44):
I mean, do you think it was planned out for
him to go out there and stand up for the
for that GM, or did you think it was like
just for the moment he just started popping off, thinking
he was going to make you know, I'm gonna save
save the GM's face. But I didn't realize that he
was just gonna do murder the wide receiver.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Yeah, well he promoted Brandon Bean. That's the thing. Like
the guy that created the roster and didn't complete the roster,
he gave her a promotion to So my theory is
that it's he's just an old man that has no
filter no matter. You know how, I don't know how
old you are, but I hope we all get to
the age where we live long enough we can just
be the old guy that doesn't care anymore, right, the
(34:22):
truth teller. And I don't even know if he was
telling the truth. Like I think he just loves this guy,
Brandon Bean, the GM, and he was just out there
just defending him no matter what. They got to get
rid of Keon Coleman. Though he's done, he can't beat
the bills next year, he's gonna be traded. They avoided
the warranty on him, so he's out and he's gone
(34:43):
and all that. Well, it's funny because Pagola hasn't he rarely,
He rarely talks like he doesn't talk to the media
very much at all. I guess we know why. We
know why Trent he doesn't talk to the media. When
I was a kid, my grandfather, one of my grandparents,
we hung a lot. He lived in the neighborhood and
my grandma. He's the guy I learned Yiddish from. He
(35:03):
spoke a lot of Yiddish, and because he would curse
in front of the kids, but he'd speak Yiddish, so
we had to learn the Yiddish curse words so we'd
know what the bad words were. And he we go
to restaurants and he would just be vicious. He had
no filter, you know, he is like, I don't get
It's like I can get to a point you just
like that, and hey, I love it, man, I got
a show to do every day. I thought Pegoulu was great,
(35:24):
but I gotta leave it there. Thank you for calling there.
The great trenton Wichita. It is the Ben Maler Show.
We got Mallard to the third degree. By the way,
Aman ross Aint Brown ripping those that are criticizing Drew Petsing,

Aman Rob Saint Brown. We'll circle back to that in
a bit time. Now for the inch to trivia. Broncos
quarterback Jared Stidham will be the seventh quarterback since nineteen
fifty to start his first game of the season in
the playoffs. Blank was the last to do it. Again,
Jared Stidham will become the seventh quarterback since nineteen fifty
(36:10):
to make his first start of a season in the postseason.
Blank was the last to do it. That's the insta trivia.
The answer. We'll get to it. We'll do it next.

will be the seventh quarterbacks since nineteen fifty to make

was the last to do it. That is the question.
What is the answer? We have Mallardly third degree coming
up here in a moment. Connor Cook guest by Shane
and Melbourne says Derek carn the Raiders would have gone
close that year. Who else? John Woolford from Eke in Roseville, Minnesota?
(37:36):
Who else do we have? Page down? The WNBA's number
one fan don Imus from Bobby in Florida. George Washington
guests by Nick. Great answer there who else do we
have Ryan Lindley, who's guest by Femi Carlos Beltron very
funny from alf the ilan O Pinter. They should put

(37:57):
A lot of people goofing on Mikey in tam Agent

My favorite to me more er, No, it's the great
(38:20):
Taylor Heineke during the pandemic played with the Washington team.
At least we called the Redskins. Here we go, Here
we go, In we go degree.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
This is one big Ben gets grilled.
Speaker 6 (38:36):
Coobelo, a Steelers insider, gave his thoughts on Aaron Rodgers'
future Tuesday, saying he believes there's a forty percent chance
he retires, thirty five percent chance he plays for the Vikings,
and a twenty five percent shot that he's back with
the Steelers. Ben, what do you think about those odds?
Speaker 1 (38:52):
Uh? No, he's not going back to the Steelers. I
think that door is closed with Tomlin being out there.
I think there's a forty percent chance he does PODC
with Joe Rogan, there's a thirty percent chance he plays.
I don't know the Colts they need a quarterback that
it seems like Daniel Jones gonna be out for a while.
What about Kansas City? If Mahomes isn't ready to go
at the beginning of the year, there's options. If he
(39:13):
wants to play, someone will give him a job. I
don't think he's gonna retire though. He just wants to
keep playing.
Speaker 6 (39:18):
Next, with Miami losing to Indiana, Carson Beck now turns
his attention to preparing for the NFL Draft. Ben, what
do you think Beck's NFL future will be?
Speaker 1 (39:29):
He has a chance to be on a practice squad
in the NFL. I don't think. It didn't look like
a great NFL player to me. I wasn't impressed.
Speaker 6 (39:35):
Next, it was supported earlier this week that the Knicks
have discussed a Karl Anthony Towns trade with the Grizzlies,
Magic and Hornets, among others. Ben, do you think the
Knicks move Towns before the deadline?
Speaker 1 (39:45):
Well? They should. I know they beat the Knicks, or
the Knicks beat the Nets by like fifty something points
in a blowout and all that, but Carl. Every time
I watched Carl any Towns, I'm like, hey, this guy
just he annoys people. He does things that cause you
to lose when even if you're a good player, he's
a really good player, he's just there's something a little
off with Carl Anthony. Tech. If they can get somebody
(40:06):
to take him, absolutely unload Carl Anthony Task. How did
we do? Koopa Loop? You pass this edition on the board,
number one, number one,
Boom, shaka laka. It's our numb ber two. Our number
two is ready for you. And we go to the
Bay Area where general manager John Lynch says that wide
receiver Brandon Ayuc has played his last snap with the Niners.
So where does he end up? And how likely are
(00:21):
the Niners to find an injury smoking gun with the
electromagnetic field conspiracy that's going around. Also buy or sell
the Eagles offensive coordinator job not being attractive? Say what
I'll talk about all that as well. We have Mallard
of the third degree. It is coming your way right
(00:42):
now here.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
It is.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Sometimes you're the windshield and sometimes you're the bug. Welcome
in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahler Show.
We are in the air Evy where bede as we
are your portable audio waves coast to coast, porter to

like mobile tire installation tirerac dot com. The way tire
buying shoo be now chipping the cues, He says, Ben again,
(01:56):
what's that that dude white thing. I'll tell you what
that dude white thing is. If you've ever wiped with
a piece of that dry toilet paper and questioned everything
in the history of humanity and said things have to
be better than this. This cannot be as good as
it gets. Well, switch to life changing wet extra large
flushable dudewipes because wetter just cleans better. Available at Amazon
(02:20):

and our friend from the Great State of Illinois, Tree
in Chicago says, how about that Express Employment Well, facing
a peak season, looking for a team a new team member.
Workforce solutions from Express Employment Professionals make hiring easier. Visit

see how Express can help you hire smarter and faster,
So our lead this hour. We start out in northern California,
fresh off getting their lunch handed to them by the
Seattle Seahawks and a no show effort, The forty nine
ers gave the State of the team address Kyle Shanahan
(03:06):
and John Lynch. The star of the show would be
John Lynch, the GM there who confirmed that the Niners
are about to decommission wide receiver Brandon Iuck this offseason.
So if you didn't see this or hear it, maybe
not a Lynch. He announced that it's it's time, not
(03:26):
quite yet, but in due time the wins of change
will be blowing. Let's go to the audio tape. Here's
John Lynch. Take a listen.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
You know the plan in terms of the transaction that
will come in due time. I think it's safe to
say that he that, you know, he's played his last
snap with the Niners. It's unfortunate situation that just went awry,
and I will look long and hard at you know,
what could have been done differently, but sometimes just doesn't
work out, and I think that this was this was
(03:53):
a case where that happened.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
All right, So played his last snap with the Niners
will come in due time. Didn't work out, blah blah
blah blah blah. Now keep in mind, this is not
just your run of the mill roster move like this
is like a lot of what this guy held in
during training camp in twenty twenty four and then signed
a four year contract for one hundred and twenty million dollars.
(04:15):
Now you'd think with that kind of extension you'd be
putting on a happy face. Not this guy. No, No,
this is next level hutzba. He appeared in just seven
games before he had a big bowl of rice crispy
snap crackle pop, and then the injury, and so the
Niners now finally they could have moved him even though
he didn't play this past season. They if he'd gone
(04:38):
to another team, he likely would have been able to play.
But they held on to him, and so now they're
gonna trade him or who knows, release him. It's all
a good jumping off points. So let us discuss as
you heard the Niners GM there John Lynch saying that
Brandon Iyack has played his last snap with the forty
nine ers, So where does he end up? Let's play
the speculation game. So I've got jim Nance, miss Stream
(05:00):
Machine and Philly Pops, and we'll combine all of these
things together, and we're gonna make birthday cake with great
frosting and milk is what we're gonna make. That's that's
what we're doing. Put those things together. Yum yum to
your tomb tumb So a Brandon Ayuck is more than
just damaged goods. He is completely covered from head to
(05:21):
toe with moles and warts. He's got more warning labels
on him than a bottle of draino at this particular point. Now,
he did the Niners dirty. He did the Niners dirty,
the whole a wall thing and all that. And John Lynch,
and some of this is on the Niners. You got
to know your employees, right. They clearly misread the room.
(05:41):
They thought Brandon Ayuk had the fighting spirit. They thought
he was a competitor. They thought he wanted to win,
wanted to play hard, wanted to do his job. Clearly
he wasn't all of those things. Otherwise you wouldn't be
in this particular situation. And so John Lynch got the
jim Nance Breakfast special. Burnt toast is what he got.
He got burned burn, baby burn and does he even
(06:03):
does the player even want to play football? Or the
question must be asked, is Brandon Ayuck looking for a
team to go to to bankroll his sabbatical so he
can continue to make a lot of money and do nothing. Now,
Brandon iok becomes the ultimate high end reclamation project. There's
a lot of people in the NFL that believe in
(06:24):
the father Flannagan mantra. But he's got flashing warning labels
that are that they're popping up everywhere. However, again, I
go back to the NFL mantra. Talent trumps all. It's
the never give up on talent thesis that the NFL
runs by, and so spinning the malor wheel of speculation
(06:44):
for Brandon Ayuk and round and round and round, big money,
big money, no womys stop. All right, So you've got
the Steelers, the Bills and the Chiefs all lined up.
It's like speed dating at a dive bar, is what
it is at two in the morning before the bar clos.
There's no risk it, no biscuit. That was Bruce Arians
line from back of the day. All of those teams,
(07:06):
the Steelers, Bills, and Chiefs obviously pop up on the
malar wheel of speculation. They are devoid of elite level
playmakers at the wide receiver position. All of them are
in the American Football Conference, and all of them are
at the point now where they'd be willing to take
a player who's tarnished and he's got cooties like Brandon
Aya because they're desperate, right, They're desperate, and so they
(07:28):
need the player. They need a talent upgrade. You're willing
to overlook things like people that don't want to do
their job now. Meanwhile, we stay in the Bay Area
where forty nine ers GM. John Lynch also confirmed during
the end of season news conference that the team is
going to investigate the viral ticktalk theory linking electromagnetic fields
(07:54):
from a nearby electrical substation to the persistent in problems.
You might remember any previous episode, we discussed this very topic,
and we pointed out that the science on this has
been been done over the years because there's people that
just live near these substations and they think that something's happening,
and so they studied it and they determined that they're
(08:16):
and who knows whether you believe this or not, but
they determined that there was nothing there there anyway. Here's
John Lynch talking about the forty nine ers investigating tike
a list.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
You have to look into everything, and so our guys
have been We've been reaching out to anyone and everyone
to see does a study exist other than a guy
sticking an apparatus underneath the fence and by coming up with
a number that I have no idea what that means.
That's what we know exists. We've heard that debunked, you know,
So yes, we will look into it.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
We have and we'll always be cognizant of things.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
I know that a lot of games have been won
at this facility, you know, since it opened. But yeah,
we aren't going to turn a blind eye.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
We'll look into everything. Okay. So the question how likely,
just between us, how likely are the forty nine ers
to find in a smoking gun an injury smoking gun
with the electromagnetic field conspiracy that popped up on social media.
So in the cartoon bubble above my head on the
(09:17):
right side of my head, right you can't see because
it's radio, but above my head, John Lynch is out
there driving the mystery machine. He's sniffing around and right
around the electromagnetic field conspiracy like Scooby Dooby doo ret row.
Somebody get that man some Scooby snacks right now. Next,
(09:37):
they're gonna blame what. They're gonna blame our friend Andrea,
the astrology insider. They're gonna say, the reason the forty
nine ers keep getting hurt is because mercury is in retrograde.
They're gonna investigate that, and then maybe after that the
moon phase pulled a hamstring or something like that. This
is a first class ticket to Bakersville, is what this is.
(10:01):
You've got the low frequency EMF turning ligaments into what
pulled pork? Is that what's going on here? And so
okay delicious put some barbecue sauce on it showed me
the science. Of course, there is no science to back
this up. Zero zilch, not a bupkus, whatever word you
want to use. It's kind of like blaming the popcorn
(10:23):
burning because of the Wi Fi football has been a
demolition derby. It's car crashes with shoulder pads, and there's
also this thing called randomness and variance involved in it.
And say, well, this wasn't great and we've had some injuries.
That's the way the cookie crumbles and people are looking
(10:45):
desperately for both engagement and to try to find a
fall guy, because you got to have a fall guy,
very important, have a fall guy. So, like, I know
what it is. It's not that these guys just are
injury prone or it's just bad luck. It's the substance man. Yeah,
that's the ticket. It's the substanc Well, good luck. Here's
the other problem with this. Now, I've pointed out that
(11:07):
there's some things that have been done over the year,
peer reviewed studies that have said that this is not true. However,
even if you think there is something there, Even if
there is something, don't you believe that the Niners would
be better off bearing it? Like Jimmy Hoffef, you know
who that is. Back in the day, this would be
Pandora's box by the bay Let's Workshop. This like, what's
(11:30):
in the box? What do you think this means? So
if the Niners came out and said, you know what,
the players were right, The players were absolutely right, and
these gamma rays what you might call it's coming from
the do hickey and it's causing these injuries. So you
open that box up and you have billboard lawyers circling
(11:53):
like seagulls. When you drop a French fry at the beach, right,
they will be everywhere there is there is, you know
they're there. And if there is a there there, you
can't admit it because then then you've got some issues
like that. Not the Gamma ray thing, not the Tampa
Bay ray thing. It's just it's bad luck. It's a
violent sport. And then but you can put the X
(12:14):
Files music on if you want. If you're into the
X Files, you know that will show back in the day.
You can put that on all right. Now, last word
to fill at Delphia we go where the Eagles are
having no luck getting an offensive coordinator despite winning a
Super Bowl a couple of years ago and being a
consistent playoff team. We are told the Eagles have interviewed
now former Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Naggi, who was let
(12:38):
go by Andy Reid for the offensive coordinator vacancy in Philadelphia. Now,
Naggy exploring any kind of a job you can get
as Andy Reid's replaced him with Eric b Enemy and
the job that he was in line to get. The
assumption was he was going to get the Tennessee Titans job.
And then they talked the Robert Salad talked the socks
(12:59):
off the front office, and so Sala's now the coach,
and so Naggie's scrambling to find a job. This comes
amid reports recently claiming that Philadelphia has a problem that
coach Nick Sirianni is having legitimate issues when Howie Roseman
filling the Eagles offensive coordinator vacancy. Now the reporting claimed
it's an unappealing job to candidates due to the intense
(13:23):
pressure of coaching in Philadelphia. So I'd like to address
that the question do you buy or sell? Do you
buy or sell the Eagles offensive coordinator job being unattractive? Right,
is not attractive at all, unappealing, whatever word you want
to use. So this is to me, it's not a
(13:45):
coaching search. It's a game of who's left at this
particular point. So I am buying the fact that the
job is unattracted to think of it like Quasimoto from
The Hunchback of Notre Dame. That being said, I do
not buy the pressure part of it. I think that
is a load of hot poo poo is what I think.
Don't give me the Philadelphia is a hard place to coach. Garbs.
(14:06):
If you're a coach, it doesn't matter. Like the Mallard diagnoses.
I believe the reason the Eagles are having problems getting
that job filled it's the JH factor. What is the
JH factor? It's Jalen Hurts. Yes, he's a two hundred
and fifty five million dollar quarterback. He's also the platypuss
in the room, is what he is. Jalen Hurts for
(14:27):
all the good things that he does, like the tushy push,
the leadership, the quotes. It's like back in the day
you used to have these calendars with motivational quotes. He's
liked that. Jalen Hurts is the conductor of the Eagles offense,
but he's the conductor who cannot read the music sheet.
He only knows a few notes. He's really good at
those notes, but he only knows a few notes. He's
(14:48):
the star of the Philly Pops. However, he cannot hit
the high notes. That's a problem. You want a deep ball,
it's a It's a total eclipse, lunar eclipse, rare, dark
and leaves everyone staring at the sky wondering where the
light went. And then you've got Nick Sirianni, the Rock
paper scissors guy who's presiding over the three ring circus
(15:09):
in Philadelphia and the tents on fire. There's no water.
It's organizational instability. It's not because of the pressure though,
it's this is a Sirianni special. Where you change coordinators,
you got to have someone to blame. You always blame
the offensive coordinator. They changed coordinators in Philadelphia, as we
(15:31):
talked about when Jalen hurts at the end of the
Eagles season. They got rid of the offensive coordinators. Like
they change coordinators more than a lot of us change sacks.
And you're not an offensive coordinator in Philadelphia. You're a
human shield. So the coach can blame someone, and the
quarterback can blame someone when they fail at their job.
(15:51):
And it's like, do you really want to pilot a
plane when the engines are sputtering and there's no mechanic
to fix it and the pilot is busy there arguing
with the flight attendant and you're the assistant pilot and
you're like, what's going on? You're the co pilot and
so yeah, the other thing, you're gonna get good money,
(16:12):
so you take the job. It's attempt job, So you
don't want to really lock in, you gotta rent, maybe
do a Verbo or something like that. Airbnb it you
don't buy a place because you're not gonna be there
that long, and then you take the bag of money
and you move on down the yellow brick road somewhere
else and get another coaching job down the line. It

coming up in a couple of minutes on the X
Machine at ben mallor if you would like to be part.
Fami writes in, says, brandon Ia just might be Le'Veon
(19:57):
Bell two point zero, throwing away generation wealth. He's on
that path. Leveon's next level though, like this guy. I
guess he showed up some of the season Randon and
then decided at some point he wanted to ghost the
forty nine ers and just stop returning messages and all that.
(20:21):
And Le'Veon Bell was in Miami, remember that season, and
he had the franchise tag and he did want to
play for it, and so he just sat there on
the beach and had like Mike ties and hung out
with girls in bikinis on jet skis, which doesn't sound bad,
but he was turning down a lot of money, a
lot of money. Ferg Dog writes in from the Winter
Wonderland of Fullerton. He says, I happened to suffer from
(20:45):
electromagnetic hypersensitivity, so I can assure you what's happening to
the Niners is real. Ferg Dog says, I can't leave
the house without feeling ill with all those electric waves
and whatnot, which is why I listened to the Ben
Maler Show on a loop all day. That sounds very healthy.
Sounds very very healthy. Now, Joe the ghost Hunter writes in.
(21:10):
He says, I have studied EMF for about twenty years.
I know high EMF can make a person sick and
see things or hear things that are not there. It
is part of paranormal investigating. I deal with that all
the time, says Joe the ghost Hunter. Late Night Drug
Tester writes in and says, I'm sure the Niners are
getting the best experts to study the electromagnetic forces. They
(21:33):
are currently listening over to Coast to coast with mister
Norri there right now to start a panel discussion. In fact,
they may ask you for Doc Mike's number, Late Night
Drug Tester says, to help out the training staff. Yeah,
we'll go west of the Rockies. Or is it east
of the Rockies? Eileen writes and says, something happened to
(21:54):
Brandon Iock. The pgn E substation clearly poisoned him. Yes,
I'm sure that's exactly what happened. Now, mister irrigation from
the Great State of Texas and Houston writes in, and
let's see here, what do we have, page Dan, do
you find it odd? That I found AFL West versus
(22:15):
AFL East Patriots versus Proncos game has never occurred. Interesting
fun AFL history. What are the odds been? What are
the odds that you would look it up? The odds
you would look it up are like ninety nine percent.
The odds that they didn't play each other. I guess
that would be below ten percent, that would be where
that was. And Kathy and Madison's very excited. She says
(22:38):
she literally heard Kathy and Madison the moment she tuned in. Well,
you're admitting, Kathy that you were not listening last hour.
It's a bad job by you. You were not listening
last hour. That's it. That's the admission. Shame on you,
Shame on you. Mikey says that he thinks that the
Air Force alien technology is involved with the forty nine ers,
(22:58):
that there's some lizard people in all that. All right,
let's go to the phones. It is a call in show,
and we'll start out with bring it homes your room
in Charleston. Hello, bring it homes your room. Welcome.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
Hey, I got a couple of things, got to get
off from my chairs. The NFL is becoming as corrupt
as baseball and basketball. They don't call traveling in basketball
then go off three seconds. They don't call offensive fouls. Okay,
that will passing the faience cole commit cut that touchdown pass.
(23:32):
I've watched that play and means four times maybe five?
Did you see the guy learch for it? And they
commit catches the task that's not passing appears, and Chris
Consvert and Mike to Rico down two of the biggest sellouts,
along with certain people on Fox. That was offensive passing
(23:54):
offense because you see the other defensive guy from RAMS.
He's throwing his arms up like, hey, he pushed off.
How the hell can you catch your pass? I mean
to pass that far and the guys standing right next
to you when the past's in there, and all of
a sudden, you're standing there by yourself and he's like
at least two steps away from you.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Know, you know, you know what I loved Jerome. You're
all worked up into it. You worked up into a ladder.
Here it's Thursday. This happened on the weekend. You're still
very angry. I love that.
Speaker 5 (24:25):
This.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
I hate corrupt you. Okay, I'm easy. Hold.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Second, the NFL would argue all these sports leagues. This
is how they get out of this. You know what
they get out of jail free card for these sports
leagues is you know what it is, no one word subjective.
They will argue that officiating. That's what they'll tell you.
It's subjective.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Horse crap it. I don't know if bull crap it.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
There's my horse craft because horse crap that's the big chunks. Okay, Stephi, doesn't.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
That horse trap? Also, I read about this because I
was wondering what the world was like before cars and
people used horses to get around because horses would just
go to the bathroom whenever they wanted. And I read
this online and I don't know if it's true. Maybe
somebody with horses can back this up. So horse crap
it kind of evaporates pretty quickly, like it doesn't, it
doesn't keep its form. It Well, you brought up, you
(25:19):
brought it up. I'm just I just thought of that.
And that's all.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
By the way, I gotta tell you, I gotta tell
you and Cooper Shuble about Denver. I went to military
school there for a couple of months and I lived
there for three years. Outside of uh Denver call so
as far as knowing Denver, he doesn't even know anyway,
know as much about Denver as I do. Okay, I
(25:43):
was all all of that place.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Man, are you bragging? Now you're being You're just bragging.
Nobody wants a bragger. Cooper's in Cooper's in Denver, Jerome.
I want you to know. He was in Denver and
some thug stole his backpack. Some losers stole his backpack
from the train there and Denver.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Can't you always keep the stuff close to you whenever
you travel.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Always, always you're always blaming you Coop for having you.
Speaker 6 (26:08):
I mean, I mean it is kind of it is
kind of my fault.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
But man, there's look, there's stealing stuff out of people
in cemeteries. Okay, you can't trust anybody anymore. That's why
I don't trust. I trust. I trust people as far
as I can throll. Okay, That's how I feel about that.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Good luck, A great way to live your life.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
Great way to Denver, good luck to Denver.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
All all right, thank you, all right, take you take
your meds.
Speaker 6 (26:36):
Horsemen who were decomposes relatively quickly, especially in warm, moist,
well aerated conditions, breaking down in weeks to a few months.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
That's right. Uh, I rememberous because I was like went
back before cars, people had horses going around to think
about cities in the Old West and over and then
be horse crap everywhere, So like what do you how
do you deal with that? Well, it kind of goes
away pretty quick on its own, although imagine me in
the there must have been somebody that had to go
clean the roads of the horse crap. That must have
(27:05):
been a fun job. That's someone's job at Disneyland. Oh yeah,
when they have you're right, yeah, they have the parades
and stuff like that, big beautiful horses. There's even still
the carts that carry you up and down Main Street
that are carried by horses. When I did suffer the
Dodgers years ago, they had every once a year they
had the Budweiser Clydesdale's, you know, those massive beautiful horses,
(27:28):
and they parade the Clydesdale's around the field, right because
it was a promotion for the beer. And a couple
times those horses apparently had too much for lunch and
just unloaded on the warning track at Dodger Stadium. It
was majestic, big giant piles right there, and the people
were running from the ground street to try to clean
(27:49):
it up.
Speaker 6 (27:49):
It was for me to feel like you should time
their meals better, you know, like, oh, maybe not feed
them an hour and a half before the show.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Well, the great thing about being a horses when you
don't really hold they sometimes people will hold it in
because you know, you don't have to wait till you
go to the bathroom. You gotta find a nice place
to go. And then the horse is just like, no,
I gotta go. I'm gonna go, and that's what I'm
gonna do. Let's go to Mikey the insomniac who's in
Tampa and slowly becoming a regular. Hello, Mike, welcome, I.
Speaker 7 (28:17):
Am becoming a regular, Ben Maller and listen, is there
any chance that Lorena could say, hello, Mikey.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
That's actually a cameo request. That'll be fifty dollars through
my website.
Speaker 7 (28:30):
I don't have fifty dollars.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
I don't have and I don't have time to say
your name.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Comes through? Here we go? Everyone quiet, everyone quiet, here
we go? What was your name? Loraino? Come on, he's
Mike's Mike. Lorea is about to do it I'm listening.
Speaker 7 (28:52):
Hi, Mike, that's pretty close. That's pretty close.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Well, well, you look you wanted Mike the insomniac. Is
that what you wanted, Mikey the insomniac?
Speaker 2 (28:59):
What do you know?
Speaker 7 (29:00):
No, I just wondered to say, hello, Mikey.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
That's it. Oh, hold on, let's hello Mikey.
Speaker 7 (29:07):
Ah, there it is that hold everything?
Speaker 4 (29:09):
I thought it was going to be.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
All right, now, let's talk sports. What what? What?
Speaker 7 (29:14):
Listen? I'm sitting here in Tampa, and there's Sean McDermott,
there's Mike Tomlin, and I still have to live with
Todd Bowles. He's a very nice man. I've met him
a hundred times.
Speaker 5 (29:30):
He's great.
Speaker 7 (29:31):
We need something different in Tampa. Sean McDermott and Mike
Tomlin are sitting right there, and we're still with Todd Bowles.
We fired everybody else on the staff, everybody else but.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
The head coach.
Speaker 7 (29:47):
I don't know what the Glaciers are doing. They fired
their soccer coach.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Why not, Mike? Listen, here's what okay? All right, you
gotta go on like Amazon and get some some foodoo
bugaaloo or whatever they're And as long as Tomlin and
McDermott don't get jobs and they're still available. Just that's fine,
because then you just wait and then the Bucks will
have another middling season next year. Most likely there'll be
(30:14):
somewhere around five hundred. Then you get rid of the
coach and then you can hire whoever you want at
that point. So you just got to just gotta make
sure that these guys don't get hired in the next
week or so.
Speaker 7 (30:25):
I don't have that much longer to wait.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
What do you what are you in a hurry for?
What do you play on going somewhere?
Speaker 5 (30:33):
Because we're gonna win eight or nine games next year,
just like you said, I don't want it. I want
to win ten games. If we went one in seven
down the stretch, one in seven, we win one more game,
we're in the playoffs. We're not having this three way
freaking Shenanigans.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Yeah, no, I hear it, I understand, I know, but
it's not like McDermott did much in neither one of those.
Every time I say I like Tomlin because I'm a
Tomlin fan, this guy's holy, this schmuck. He always oh
you like Tom and Tomlin sucks, you know, And I'm
like I like Tom. I'd hire him if I owned.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
It in a row losing sea.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
I know, I'm aware that's a long time, nineteen years.
Speaker 5 (31:20):
Yeah, thank you, Lorena.
Speaker 7 (31:22):
I appreciate it any time you did it.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
All right, Okay, all right, thank you. Calm down now, Lorrain.
If you want, I'm on cameo, So if you want,
I can send you a thing. You can get on
there if you're interested, and then you get points for
getting me on cameo. Yes, oh my gosh, totally do that,
do you. I'll send you a link. And I for
stuff all the time, like Lorain, make you night.
Speaker 6 (31:45):
And I'm like, what, I.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Have a feeling that you'll do much better than I do.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
I need it.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
I need it.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
I do.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Maybe I don't promote it because I don't know whatever.
It's just I have it. And I did say I
was going to raise my price actually, and they gotta
do that. I was supposed to raise man, I'll do that,
you know. They all send it. I'll send you link,
you'll send you link. Let's go to Johnny in Rochester.
What's going on? Hello Johnny? Hello? Jo Oh, Johnny's gone?
How dear Johnny? What a schmuck let's go to Trent
(32:13):
in wichital Hello, Trent, welcome, Hey, what's.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
Going on the man? Hi?
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Trent?
Speaker 4 (32:20):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (32:21):
That Mikey did probably rub the one out already to that.
Speaker 6 (32:25):
That's what I said, But I just you know, I
brilliant respect.
Speaker 8 (32:34):
You know, I wanted to call someone who's opinion I
really respect and highly regarded it as the the one
of the greatest minds in our generation, Ben Mallor.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
And can you save that, Lorena for me? Can you
save that? Because you know whatever Mikey's doing that to me,
what you just said is as good as what my god,
I mean, the holy crap.
Speaker 6 (32:56):
I thought he was about to say something like but
I couldn't get.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Through to Dan Patrick. I couldn't get ahold oft or something.
Speaker 8 (33:07):
Yes, all right, So so the Buffalo owner, Okay, I
want to know, do you think that he is I mean,
he's a billionaire, so you would think he's not stupid, right, No,
But so what that would make him just completely oblivious
to like social cues or anything like that. I mean
(33:31):
when the guy, the guy he's throwing under the bus
the most is the receiver you know, and he you know,
on the team. So how do you even face that guy, Like,
how does that even work?
Speaker 4 (33:43):
Like that? Did he not?
Speaker 8 (33:44):
I mean, do you think it was planned out for
him to go out there and stand up for the
for that GM, or did you think it was like
just for the moment he just started popping off, thinking
he was going to make you know, I'm gonna save
save the GM's face. But I didn't realize that he
was just gonna do murder the wide receiver.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Yeah, well he promoted Brandon Bean. That's the thing. Like
the guy that created the roster and didn't complete the roster,
he gave her a promotion to So my theory is
that it's he's just an old man that has no
filter no matter. You know how, I don't know how
old you are, but I hope we all get to
the age where we live long enough we can just
be the old guy that doesn't care anymore, right, the
(34:22):
truth teller. And I don't even know if he was
telling the truth. Like I think he just loves this guy,
Brandon Bean, the GM, and he was just out there
just defending him no matter what. They got to get
rid of Keon Coleman. Though he's done, he can't beat
the bills next year, he's gonna be traded. They avoided
the warranty on him, so he's out and he's gone
(34:43):
and all that. Well, it's funny because Pagola hasn't he rarely,
He rarely talks like he doesn't talk to the media
very much at all. I guess we know why. We
know why Trent he doesn't talk to the media. When
I was a kid, my grandfather, one of my grandparents,
we hung a lot. He lived in the neighborhood and
my grandma. He's the guy I learned Yiddish from. He
(35:03):
spoke a lot of Yiddish, and because he would curse
in front of the kids, but he'd speak Yiddish, so
we had to learn the Yiddish curse words so we'd
know what the bad words were. And he we go
to restaurants and he would just be vicious. He had
no filter, you know, he is like, I don't get
It's like I can get to a point you just
like that, and hey, I love it, man, I got
a show to do every day. I thought Pegoulu was great,
(35:24):
but I gotta leave it there. Thank you for calling there.
The great trenton Wichita. It is the Ben Maler Show.
We got Mallard to the third degree. By the way,
Aman ross Aint Brown ripping those that are criticizing Drew Petsing,
the offensive coordinator hired by the Lions, and a'man ross
Aint Brown sucking up to his new boss said, most
fans don't know ball. They don't know ball, according to
(35:47):
Aman Rob Saint Brown. We'll circle back to that in
a bit time. Now for the inch to trivia. Broncos
quarterback Jared Stidham will be the seventh quarterback since nineteen
fifty to start his first game of the season in
the playoffs. Blank was the last to do it. Again,
Jared Stidham will become the seventh quarterback since nineteen fifty
(36:10):
to make his first start of a season in the postseason.
Blank was the last to do it. That's the insta trivia.

will be the seventh quarterbacks since nineteen fifty to make
his first start of a season in the playoffs. Blank
was the last to do it. That is the question.
What is the answer? We have Mallardly third degree coming
up here in a moment. Connor Cook guest by Shane
and Melbourne says Derek carn the Raiders would have gone
close that year. Who else? John Woolford from Eke in Roseville, Minnesota?
(37:36):
Who else do we have? Page down? The WNBA's number
one fan don Imus from Bobby in Florida. George Washington
guests by Nick. Great answer there who else do we
have Ryan Lindley, who's guest by Femi Carlos Beltron very
funny from alf the ilan O Pinter. They should put
that up there. Who else do we have Page Down?
(37:57):
A lot of people goofing on Mikey in tam Agent
ninety nine from King Rory John Denver tossed up by
Milkman Mike Jeff Rutledge of the Rams from Ryan and
San Diego. Who else do we have Haja Clinton Dix
from JT the Wingman? All right, do you have an answer? Lorraine?
My favorite to me more er, No, it's the great
(38:20):
Taylor Heineke during the pandemic played with the Washington team.
At least we called the Redskins. Here we go, Here
we go, In we go degree.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
This is one big Ben gets grilled.
Speaker 6 (38:36):
Coobelo, a Steelers insider, gave his thoughts on Aaron Rodgers'
future Tuesday, saying he believes there's a forty percent chance
he retires, thirty five percent chance he plays for the Vikings,
and a twenty five percent shot that he's back with
the Steelers. Ben, what do you think about those odds?
Speaker 1 (38:52):
Uh? No, he's not going back to the Steelers. I
think that door is closed with Tomlin being out there.
I think there's a forty percent chance he does PODC
with Joe Rogan, there's a thirty percent chance he plays.
I don't know the Colts they need a quarterback that
it seems like Daniel Jones gonna be out for a while.
What about Kansas City? If Mahomes isn't ready to go
at the beginning of the year, there's options. If he
(39:13):
wants to play, someone will give him a job. I
don't think he's gonna retire though. He just wants to
keep playing.
Speaker 6 (39:18):
Next, with Miami losing to Indiana, Carson Beck now turns
his attention to preparing for the NFL Draft. Ben, what
do you think Beck's NFL future will be?
Speaker 1 (39:29):
He has a chance to be on a practice squad
in the NFL. I don't think. It didn't look like
a great NFL player to me. I wasn't impressed.
Speaker 6 (39:35):
Next, it was supported earlier this week that the Knicks
have discussed a Karl Anthony Towns trade with the Grizzlies,
Magic and Hornets, among others. Ben, do you think the
Knicks move Towns before the deadline?
Speaker 1 (39:45):
Well? They should. I know they beat the Knicks, or
the Knicks beat the Nets by like fifty something points
in a blowout and all that, but Carl. Every time
I watched Carl any Towns, I'm like, hey, this guy
just he annoys people. He does things that cause you
to lose when even if you're a good player, he's
a really good player, he's just there's something a little
off with Carl Anthony. Tech. If they can get somebody
(40:06):
to take him, absolutely unload Carl Anthony Task. How did
we do? Koopa Loop? You pass this edition on the board,
number one, number one,
