Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. It's like Mojoe Rising in our number
three of the Ben Mahler Show or Minder Benny Versus
the Penny, available today. A new episode will be up
a little bit later today. All the big NFL games
against the spread. You're going to check that out. Expert analysis,
some good times, never before told stories only available on

(00:22):
YouTube at Benny Vspenny and also the Ben Maler Show page.
For Mallard monologues, you can see what an ugly radio
guy looks while doing a monologue that would be yours truly.
Here in hour three, buy or sell forty nine Ers
defensive coordinator Robert salah yep, the former Jets coach getting
interviews for head coaching gigs in the news cycle on

(00:42):
the coaching carousel. Do you agree with Lawrence Taylor's assessment
of Abdul Carter needing to wake up with the Giants?
And would Klin de Boor to Penn State that's the
Alabama coach to Penn State make any sense at all?
As he denied anything about that story, we'll go there
as well. Here it is. Buckle up, don't forget fifth

(01:06):
hour Benny Versus the Penny. But here's our number three. Well,
one man's trash is another man's treasure. Wel come in
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Maler Show.
We are in the air a reware under the sheets

(01:29):
as we have sizzle and spice. Oh so nice coast
coast border to border and beyond on the vast and
snazzily powerful microphones of fs are ammating live from the Genesis,
say Fronto Genesis snowing down from the world famous Fox

(01:53):
Sports Radio studios as approved by fats in Philadelphia, Milkman
Mike and Collar Rodo and Texas Jack. They all approve
that message and they know this portion of Ben mally
Show made possible in part by our friends at tire
Rack That's right, ti Iraq. For over forty years, Tyraq

(02:13):
has been helping customers like Trucker Shane and Bozo the
District Attorney find the right tires for how, what and
where they drive. Ship fast and free back by free
road hazard protection which Matt Jack likes a lot, with
convenient installation options which Strip Club John in Cleveland and
Ohio I give the thumbs up to like mobile tire installation,

(02:34):
tire rac dot com, the way Tirebink showy. So our
lead this hour is from the carousel. The coaching carousel
is one name. One name is already gaining some real
traction across the NFL. We didn't have a game last night.
The Detroit Lions mollywopped the Dallas Cowboys. That was a

(02:56):
mollywop situation there in that particular game. But our ore
lead this hour not from that, from the coaching carousel.
So the name that is picking up some steam here.
If you didn't see this, pay me not, that would
be forty nine or defensive coordinator Robert Salah. Yes, that
is the same guy that coached the Jets, and it

(03:17):
was the same old sorry ass Jets, the Jets, the
forty six year old Robert Sala back at the cool
kids table. If you believe the noise, that's a good
jumping off point. So let us discuss the question on
this one. Are you gonna buy or sell forty nine

(03:38):
ers defensive coordinator Robert Salah getting interviews for head coaching gigs.
So my views on this, I've got Eskimo's Ikea and
Jungle Jim, and we will combine all of these things
together and we are gonna make the Babaganos. We're gonna

(03:59):
make the baba Ganouosh is what we're gonna make. Yeah,
I know, I know. Zoom zoom, watch out, watch out indeed.
Oh yeah, that's good times, good times. All right. So,
first of all, I absolutely am buying this. I'm not
selling it. I'm buying that Robert Salad is going to
be getting some interviews here and maybe more, maybe more.

(04:22):
And here's why. Because the NFL, the Annual Coaching Cattle Auction,
that is the NFL in that world, Robert Salas suddenly
looks like Kobe beef and he is surrounded by that
fake vegetarian beef, that non meat stuff. Yeah, and there's
a little dollar store Hamburger over there, but it's mostly

(04:43):
it's mostly the vegan meat, which is not real meat.
And Robert Salad is a silver tongue devil, a master
salesman who could hawk ice cubes to Eskimos and he'd
be riding on the Siberian Express and he said, hey,
would you like some ice cubes. No, I'm an escabo.
I don't need ice cubes. I've got plenty of cold
snow all that stuff. But these are really good ice cubes.

(05:03):
But I don't need them. Trust me, you need them.
They're magical ice cubes. But I have plenty of ice.
I don't need them. I'm an Eskimo. It doesn't matter.
Robert Salas says, you have to get them, and then
you get them and you pay for them, and on
the I'll tell you what the difference was for me.
The pivot point was on that recent Monday night game

(05:25):
forty nine Ers and Carolina believe it was a couple
weeks ago. On the broadcast Joe Buck and Troy Aikman,
it was almost indecent. They gave him a bubble bath,
a sponge bath, a full body spa treatment. They showed
him more love on that broadcast than Kyle Shanahan, who's

(05:46):
the actual, you know, head coach. Now, when the National
TV megaphone starts giving you a sponge bath, that is
the NFL's version of, Hey, let's get this guy a
job again. It's gotta be the most I'd love to
be a fly in the in the room here. And

(06:06):
because Robert salam must be like the coolest guy in
the world, every broadcaster just gets They just they get
knee pads on and they get they get a chubby.
When they talk about Robert salads wild for a guy
that was an abject failure as a head coach. He's
got he's got this personality, this magnetic personality, and he
showed with the Niners when he's had good personality. They

(06:29):
Niners don't even have great personnel this year. Their top
two defensive players are out in Fred Warner and Bosa.
Those guys are out, and yet you know, still looks good.
And when Robert Salas coached inferior players as a head coach,
he's attack as in TAC total average coach. He's totally
average as a coach. And with the Jets, regardless, right

(06:50):
that that is not going to stop desperate teams from
talking themselves in, from convincing themselves that he's the next
defensive savant. And you know, ask for Robert sala I'm
you know, saying I'm focused. Now you give this quote,
I'm focused on the now and I want to help
these players win a Super Bowl and all that stuff.

(07:12):
Take a deep breath. That quote is capital I irrelevant.
It is capital M meaningless and capital B boiler plate.
All right, that's imb irrelevant, meaningless boilerplate. Every coach. Every
coach says that. Well, they say that while they're keeping
their suitcase half zipped just in case the private jet

(07:35):
shows up. And if the right offer pops up, which
is pretty much any offer. If you took the Jets job,
you would take any job, wouldn't you If the right
offer pops up. Let's say I don't know, Tennessee or
Tampa Bay ends up flaming out and they get rid
of their coaching staff in Tampa and that job or

(07:55):
Atlanta that's more of a possibility, then Robert Sally will
be gone faster than a blackjack dealer wiping the table
after you bust out at the table. Now, secondly, we
now go to Gotham. More chatter, more chatter on everyone's
sleepy NFL player, The Giants sleepy time star guy drafted

(08:19):
near the very top of the NFL draft because he
has elite sleeping ability. We're talking about edge rusher Abdul Carter,
who has been guilty of not showing up on time.
Abdual Carter has regularly arrived late to team meetings, has
even fallen asleep during sessions. There's a video that's gone

(08:40):
around of him dozing off and that has led to
multiple punishments, internal punishments. There have been now a couple
of benchings that have gone public for Abdul Carter up
into this point. Up until this point, he has been
a major disappointment. Not a total buzz, but a major disappointment.

(09:01):
You drafted a guy thinking he was going to be
one way and he hasn't been that way, especially considering
the level of expectations, the amount of hype that this guy,
much of it he put on himself. And so Giants legend,
Lawrence Taylor, I heard he was pretty good at football
and loved cocaine. So Lawrence who doesn't Lawrence Taylor, the

(09:22):
Giants Legend, has entered the chat. He was asked about
Abdull Carter's issues and lt said, wake up. He says,
this is what you worked for, this is where you
want to be, So now you are there, let's wake up.
That's a quote from Lawrence Taylor to the tabloid newspaper,

(09:45):
the New York Post there in the Big Apple. So
the question do you agree with Lawrence Taylor's assessment that
Abdulla Carter needs to wake up with the Giants. So
the obvious thing is, yeah, he needs to wake up
because he fell asleep in team meetings. Like LT's acting
like the thunderbolt of truth here. And he did not

(10:08):
sugarcoat it. He could have gone a little stronger. He
didn't sprinkle cinnamon on it. He said, wake up, literally
and figuratively. You asked for greatness. Start acting like a
guy who actually wants Now. Remember Abduall Carter came in
making all kinds of noises. He was like, I want
to wear number fifty six. Well you can't wear number
fifty six. It's retired. Well I want to wear it. Well, yeah,

(10:30):
it was retired. Well they shouldn't retire. Well we agree
they shouldn't retire, but they retired it. That's LT's number.
We got to ask Lawrence Tail. Okay, ask Lawrence Ted. Okay,
I'll ask Lawrence Tail. Hey, LT, can this guy, Abdull
Carter wear your number? No, he can't. Okay, that's it.
Oops a daisy, oopsidaisy. Abdul Carter was hyped out of
college as a plug and play assassin for the Giants,

(10:54):
Like this is just plug him in and forget about him.
Set it and forget it. Like Ron Pole Peele said
back in the day, the great infomercialman Ron pop Peele
said it and forget it, and you'll have an elite
pass rusher for the next five years. And Abdul Carter
showed up and right out of the box, and he

(11:15):
was missing half the parts, and there were no instructions
and there were no YouTube videos to watch. And this
guy was sold as ready made terminator, Abdul Carter, ready
made terminator, and instead he's the Ikea bookshelf wobbling in
the corner because somebody, somebody skipped step three right. The

(11:40):
giants thought they were drafting instant impact. What they got
was a player who needs a wake up call and
apparently a babysitter, possibly a butler to drag his ass
into the meeting room before he faced plants into dreamland again.
And I guess he'll find his mom or something. You know,

(12:00):
when your mom can't go to work with you, but
maybe you need your mom to go to work. And
right now, Abdol Carter is the NFL's version of a
Jack in the box that never pops up. Not the
actual restaurant jack in the box. I'm talking about jack
in the box that never pops up. Expectation without payoff
and so in that regard, lt he nailed it. Two words,

(12:21):
wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up,
wake up? All right, final fhe to Tusca Loosa, we
go college football. Kaylin de Boor putting the Moore in
Deboor Alabama. We'll see what happens here. But Alabama's still
right in the mix for all the goodies and all

(12:42):
the joy and all that in college football, even though
they haven't been that great by Nick Saban Alabama standards.
But he's not there anymore. So Kleem de Boor has
been the head coach of the Crimson Tide for two
seasons now, two seasons and there's already chatter that he's out.
Quote now, last year there was some speculation that Caleb

(13:06):
deb Or, Kaylen de ber rather was going to be
let go on his own. Now it is he's going
to leave, and he's looking at him now. None of
you believe him, because Klen de Bor vehemently denied those
rumors that popped up for like an hour, like an
hour that he could end up at Penn State, and

(13:28):
he said, quote, we are extremely happy at Alabama. This
is a quote from Kln de Boor. We are extremely happier,
love the challenge, love the grind, love this place. And
there's never been any link. There's never been any conversation.
There's never been any interest either way with Penn State,

(13:49):
Debor said as they got ready for the SEC championship
match up there in his news conference, so he said, so,
I'm glad we can put that to bed right now.
You want to bet he actually added some fire there, dummy,
He had a little fuel through the fire. So the question,

(14:10):
would Kalin de Boor to Penn State make any kind
of sense? We know what he said, right, we know,
But would it make any sense? That's the question. So
let's slice this blooney sandwich and we'll slice it in half.
And we made sure that blooney was cut real thin,
thin cut baloney, and Kalein de Bor to Penn State.

(14:32):
It actually does make sense if you're looking for a
lifeboat off Carnival's infamous poop cruise ship where the DJ
is still insisting everything's fine while there's feces floating around
the floor. There, Debor walked into Alabama replacing the football
version of the Mona Lisa. Well, we don't have the

(14:54):
Mona Lisa anymore. Okay, you don't have it. Who do
we have, Kalen de boor you're following Nick Saban, knowing
full well he'd never be adored, cherished and canonized and
lionized like the man whose shoes he's temporarily borrowing. At

(15:15):
this point, I don't care how many doors you knock on,
how many babies you kiss, and how many photos you take.
It doesn't matter. That's Mount Everest level, climbing the thin air,
frostbite Sherpa's side, eyeing you the whole way. Now, if
you were to go to pensate again, this is all hypothetical.
It's talk radio. That's not Mount Everest. That's not Mount Everest.

(15:37):
That in comparison to following Nick Saban, that is jungle
gym behind the YMCA, where the only danger is slipping
on a melted fruit roll up from back in July.
It's still there. I don't know why it's still there,
but that's it. The difficulty level drops faster than a

(15:58):
piano in a cartoon. And let's be honest, Happy Valley
is chasing rainbows. La la la la la la la
la la la la. They've been turned down more times
than a cyclops at a speed dating event, blinking furiously
for a Yes, it just is not going well, not

(16:21):
going well, and reporters now are essentially throwing darts in
a blackout, praying one accidentally hits the bullseye. We had
the BYU coach, and then the crumble cookie guy came
in and said, we'll charge eighty five dollars for our cookies,
but we want to keep the BYU coach. Okay, we'll

(16:42):
keep the BYU coach and he won't go to Penn State.
We'll pay him ten million dollars a year or whatever
it is and for debor though Penn State would be
a lateral move. However, if he has the same success
he's had at Alabama and wins a few big games,
that would be better than the guy that Penn State
just got rid of. He'd be treated like Springsteen walking

(17:03):
into an open mic night? Now is it likely?

Speaker 2 (17:06):
Know?

Speaker 1 (17:06):
In fact, the latest rumor has already popped up here
Iowa State coach Matt Campbell from the Cyclones, not the Cyclopsis,
the Cyclones. He has emerged as the latest flavor of
the week for Penn State's head coaching search. We'll keep
an eye on that, but it's all a speculation stew,

(17:27):
extra spicy with lots of chili pepper on top, a
lot of chili pemper. Let me tell you something right there,
a lot of a lot of chili paper. It is

M a rci Oh and the Coop de Loop, the
long suffering Coop the loop at a Bronco fan apparently

(21:09):
likes the Broncos. A Bronco fan there for Coop a Loop,
back to it, back to it and time now for
the Malor Riddle of the day. Here's the Mallor Riddle
of the day. So the Spurs I used to know
their radio guy. Yess he retired. He's doing college basketball
stuff now. But Bill Shoning, longtime voice of the Spurs.

(21:33):
Good dude, good music guy. Hey, what the current Spurs
broadcaster is? Somebody named Jacob Toby used blank live on
the air. Many people were very surprised by this when
they were watching the Spurs broadcast. All seven of them
were very, very surprised that. I can't believe that is
what is up with that? I don't understand. So that

(21:54):
is the mallor riddle of the day. Let's see hear
Paul got it right obviously. Mike the Leprechaun says, sunblock
lotion shocked everyone. Truck or Joe says he used his
pronouns that was remember that was big a couple of
years ago. Oh my god. Let's see here, Black and

(22:15):
Blum says, some kind of vibrating device. You might you
might say, is that's the answer. What else do we have?
Let's see page down. I can't read that on the air.
All right, That's that's I mean, some of these are
so I don't know what's the word offensive? I guess

(22:38):
would be the you know, I mean, you guys understand,
I know we're all friends. Here and it's the middle
of the night, and I think we should all say
whatever we want to say. But for some reason there's
government oversight that I have to deal with. What I
have to deal with the government over that makes no
sense anyway. The correct answer is a Spurs broadcaster Jacob
Toby used smelling so live on the air, Live on

(23:03):
the air, he use smelling salts. I don't recall ever
using smelling salts. Did they actually work? Because every once
in a while doing the overnight shows, sometimes I'll be sleepy,
like you know, and there's a couple of ways you
can go. You could just do cocaine. I don't want
to do that. How much do smelling salts cost? They

(23:26):
can't cost that much, right, you know, Buy some smelling
salts and I'll use for entertainment purposes only. I'll get
some smelling salts. I'll just kind of see what we
can do with those. Yeah, maybe yeah, use it on
the air. People like, well, wow, that's kind of crazy.
What do you do because at the time they might
have known what that was.

Speaker 5 (23:44):
All.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
Let's go to the phones and let's see any meenie
miney moe. You got the doc. He's back baby, Doc
Mike from the Valley of the Sun, Mister Chicago in Arizone. Nah,
don't you get.

Speaker 5 (24:00):
It, pal, how you're doing, buddy?

Speaker 1 (24:04):
Doc? Has been too long, Doc Mike. We miss you.

Speaker 5 (24:09):
I know. I've been sleeping like a baby in Chicago
every night, working hard all summer. Now I'm back in
the Valley of the Sun. I'm in Phoenix right now.
I'll be in Tucson Sunday night for the next four months.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
For four months, You're going to be in Tucson. That's
a long time.

Speaker 5 (24:29):
Well, I just wait for the snow to melt in Chicago,
then I head back here.

Speaker 1 (24:34):
I missed the days when you went to Ecuador. Remember
those days back in Ecuador.

Speaker 5 (24:38):
Oh that was that was the That was the valley
over there, all at camel Toe and so on. It's
a real blast down there.

Speaker 1 (24:49):
I bet you did. Yeah, all right, Well you called it.
You're just doing a check in. Just you call, I call.
I talked to you the other day off the air.
We had a conversation. We caught up a little bit
on the life and times of Doc Mike. And you
look like you're about twenty five years old, Doc, And
it's all because of the fruit smoothie or something like that.
I don't know. It's whatever. The urine, it's the urine therapy, right,

(25:11):
the urine therapy.

Speaker 5 (25:12):
You're in therapy. And we got camel urine now.

Speaker 1 (25:16):
And is what is so special about camel urine.

Speaker 5 (25:20):
It's a real high pH right from the camel. You
don't have to age the urine to have the pH spike.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
So that's a top. Now, what's what's the number two
behind a camel? What would it be like a donkey
or something like that. What what urine is behind the camel?

Speaker 5 (25:37):
Would it be uh second place?

Speaker 1 (25:40):
Yeah, like an elephant urine?

Speaker 5 (25:43):
No cow cow six new cow urine. Well, the Hindus
have been drinking.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
That must be. That must be so cheap because there's
so many cows. They Imagine how much when a cow
goes to the bathroom. Imagine how much that must take
half hour for them to go to the bathroom.

Speaker 3 (26:02):
Right, and then you can immediately wash it down with milk.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
There's six perfect and have a steak.

Speaker 5 (26:11):
Take. There's six new patents in Washington, d C. The
FDA for cow urine curing cancer. Wait till that pops
up with Kennedy.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
Imagine all our all our issues saved by the urine.
That would be the way to go.

Speaker 5 (26:27):
NK.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
I'm all for it, toy. You can fix cancer with urine.
I'm there, man, sign me up for that. I'll be
drinking urine right and left. Come on now.

Speaker 5 (26:34):
Yeah, I've been doing it since nineteen sixty five and
then my clinics ninety.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
Eight, ninety eight. All right, so nineteen that's.

Speaker 5 (26:45):
When I opened my clinics. Yeah, I'll tell you what
you know you've got. You've got a M nine ten
here in Phoenix, and I listened to you all day long,
to Fox, and I think there's a good thank you
in Tucson, another Fox there. Why don't the wallet and

(27:08):
get a affiliate in Chicago?

Speaker 1 (27:11):
What what?

Speaker 5 (27:12):
What?

Speaker 1 (27:12):
Doc? I've tried to explain. I know you're of a
previous generation, but we are on people. We have many
listeners in Chicago now, Doc, we're on satellite radio in Chicago.
We have the iHeart app, which is massive, it's a monster,
and we're on that. And so people's listening habits have changed, Doc,
And and so people, can you want to hear the show?

Speaker 5 (27:33):
You were?

Speaker 1 (27:35):
They were?

Speaker 5 (27:36):
We were?

Speaker 1 (27:36):
We were that. That's how I know we were on
the score in Chicago, and that's how I found you
and you found me. And don't Doc, I don't make
those decisions. Doc. I don't know what to tell you, buddy.
You've been home, but I know I'm well aware of
your history, Doc, and I gave you. I gave you

(27:58):
my number and and you've called me ever since. But
I love you, man, You're my guy. And during the pandemic,
you booked the show, Doc, remember you were booking guests
for the show that you're a guy from Colorado. You
booked on the show.

all right, Well some more for you too, if you
want me to. I'm good Chicago.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
Well you could buy a radio station. They only couple
three million dollars and then well you've got the money obviously,
so that's no problem. I listen, I gotta go. Doc
will catch up. You're a man. We love you. Be
safe in Arizona. There the great Doc Mike, who's been
with me for pretty much the full journey here on
Fox Sports Rader Me and Doc Mike. We go way, way,

(28:48):
way way back. I mean it has been pretty and
pretty well, Tom says, didn't you try smelling salts before
the initials game on k Fan. I should have, Tom,
I should have done smelling salts. I couldn't have done
much worse. Although I did get one right. Although some
of you guys who listened to the Power Chips said
it's well, it doesn't really count because it was the
bonus time. But I count that I didn't get shut out,

(29:10):
and really the goal was to not get shut out.
We go from Doc to the Dick, Dick in Dayton,
the greatest caller from the state of Ohio, which is
really a country, right Dick and Dayton in many respects,
Ohio is like his own sovereign country.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
Tha, good morning, Happy holidays, then everybody.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
Happy holidays, Happy holidays, Happy holidays.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
Will Saturdays is going to tell about the Buck guys.
What is season Ryan day had And I'm predicting them
to win, maybe thirty four to twenty to win. That's
the champion.

Speaker 1 (29:49):
You're calling your shot right now. That's a that's a
big time game. And they've got you know what they have, Dick,
They have championship pedigree. Yeah, the Buck guys, right, I
get that championship pedigree. Now are you going to be
able to watch the game or are you going to
be busy?

Speaker 2 (30:04):
No, I'll be able to watch the game. Now. I'm
thinking the Pigles with Joe Burrow back. They've always played
pretty good in Buffalo. But if Bill Burrow gets a
hot hand, I think they can upset Buffalo. I really do.
I do.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
Yeah. I think the Bengals are on the right side
in terms of gambling. I have that game on Benny
versus the Penning this weekend. Ohio State is a four
point favorite over the Hoosiers a four point favorite there, Dick,
So the Buckeys are favorite to win that game. Isn't
it crazy? Your entire life? The Indiana Hoosiers have been
terrible at football, and the last couple of years have

(30:44):
actually been good. It's very odd, isn't it When a
team's bad that long and then all of a sudden
they become good at something. It's like that, doesn't they
don't belong there? What's up with that? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (30:52):
And you know, it's just there's only five games left.
But I think heads are good at Rowling Cleveland though.
It's just such a bad year for them, you know.

Speaker 5 (31:02):
And I say.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
We get Bernie Bernie or Mark, Well, you know, call
your back because it's just over and over. They just
keep losing, you know, and it's not good.

Speaker 1 (31:15):
That's not good. Would you would you consider a front
office for all, Dick? If they called you up and say, hey, Dick,
we need you, would you consider that?

Speaker 2 (31:22):
Yeah? I wondered too. I'm booked. Uh, I'm playing today
with the String Benders, and then.

Speaker 1 (31:29):
Uh John, that's wonderful, man, I got a show with
h John my friend, and probably meet a lot of people.

Speaker 2 (31:38):
We're going to try to get the Banjo group, and
then I'm playing in this group of bamba.

Speaker 1 (31:43):
Wait wait, wait, wait time. Are you talking about the
Kettering Banjo Society?

Speaker 5 (31:47):

the Beatles forming again. That are you serious? No, that
is unbelievable. That's like the Stones getting together. Mike got
