Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number three, our three, ready
to go, and we head to the NFL the Pacific Northwest.
Why is Pete Carroll still unwilling to admit he made
the wrong play call in Super Bowl forty nine, that
famous pass play at the goal line against the Patriots.
(00:23):
Malcolm Butler thinks he made the right call. Also, what
do you take away from the forty nine ers muddled
backup quarterback situation? And how upset is James harden over
his one hundred thousand dollars fine for calling the Sixers
GM a liar. I we'll talk about all that and
(00:43):
more right now here. It is our number three, not
budging an inch, not even an inch. Welcome and the
beginning of another hour of the Ben Show. We are
in the air everywhere, me here, you there, as we
(01:05):
are the Quicker Talker upper Coast, the coast, border, the
Motor and beyond on the beast and bodaciously powerful microphones
of fsre emminating live from the shop, the verbal butcher
shop of your sporting heroes. We are broadcasting live from

(01:48):
added here in our third hour of overnight nocturnal nonsense,
and our lead this hour comes from the wayback machine.
Consider this a classical Malard monologue, a story that got
a lot of play on these airways. We were here
when it happened in real time. But a rather notorious
(02:09):
Super Bowl momentt the Lombardi Trophy changing hands because of
a decision at the goal line, and that has returned
to the front burner of conversation. You see Seahawks coach
Pete Carroll, at age seventy one, still going strong there.
Pete Carroll recently joined former NFL star Richard Sherman's Fledgling
(02:33):
podcast and they talked about the glory days. Look at
old days when Seattle was on top of the NFL mountain,
the legion of Boom, and all the glory that came
to that Seattle Seahawks team. Now, Carol, it is interesting
to note refused to admit that the team made a mistake,
(02:57):
and he made a mistake that you should never have
emptied the pass play at the goal line when you
had a guy like Marshawn Lynch on your team. So
if you didn't hear this, maybe not. We're gonna play
a decent size clip of Pete Carroll and Richard Sherman
going back and forth talking about the Super Bowl forty
nine play, which resulted in Malcolm Butler becoming an all
(03:21):
time iconic Super Bowl hero for the New England Patriots.
But let's go to the audio tape.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
You know, you guys are so mad at me and
so pissed hurt. I wish I could feel it the
way I should feel it, But you know you got
to keep that play just happened. It wasn't like by design.
It wasn't there was no agenda. That play just happened.
You guys couldn't hear it for years. But when we
got down there, if I remember, we had one time out,
and so as soon as we got there, I said,
one of these plays, we're gonna have to throw it
(03:48):
to get all four plays, because I'm always in make
sure that we have a chance to get all four shots.
So we run the first play and I think what
happened is Bill's late he sends in the goal. Land
team and we had already said it in eleven right,
that went through the play callers, and that's what led
them to throw it on that down. It had nothing
to do with anything else. We've practiced it a million times.
It was just the way we had prepared. So I
(04:10):
was rock solid on the philosophy of it. It just
was the worst play that could ever happen. And the
guy makes a play of a career for everybody's career.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
All right, all right, So there's Pete Carroll there. He
said he was rock solid on the philosophy of the
play there in super Bowl forty nine. So the question is,
why is Pete Carroll still unwilling all these years later
to fully admit that he is the dummy in the
room on that particular play in the Super Bowl loss
(04:42):
for the Seahawks. So I've got Moscow washer Repairman and
the coodb Index, and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to make a Mallar riddle,
which we're going to have coming up later this hour.
The Mallor Riddle of the Day will be coming your
way just mere minutes away when we get done with
(05:04):
this Mallard monologue. So, first, of all, you talk about Seattle,
New England, Super Bowl forty nine, there's a lot of
moving parts to this story. So my theory is Pete
Carroll does not want to own that particular play call
because in his head, he's not even though he was
the head coach, the captain of the ship. Other people
(05:24):
were involved, Daryl Beble, the offensive coordinator, for example, Russell
Wilson ultimately is the one that telegraphed the pass. Malcolm
Butler of the Patriots made a great play on it.
He anticipated what was going to happen, as the Patriots said,
apparently scouted that if you've read some of the stories
since then, that Belichick and the Patriot coaching staff had
(05:45):
an idea of what the Patriots' opponent, the Seattle, was
going to do at the goal line. And so Pete
Carroll looks at all of this, He's like, well, Russell
Wilson shouldn't have thrown the pass the way he threw it,
and if Daryl Bevill hadn't done this, that and the
other thing. So he's heading to Moscow for a nice
Moscow mule, extra vodka and extra lime. He's stubborn, he's uncompromising.
(06:09):
Would be the way I would look at this. Now. Secondly,
let's go to northern California, San Francisco. With brock Party
locked in as the starter, the old Iowa state quarterback. There,
brock Party, the attention has turned to number two, who
is no Number two Underson, but the number one for
(06:31):
number two understand now, So it's competition between Trey Lance.
The Dolphins traded seven thousand first round picks to get
Trey Lance and Sam Darnald, the notorious Sam Darnold. Those
are the options at the number two quarterback behind brock
Perty Now. Kyle Shanahan said the team's backup plan has
(06:53):
not been locked in and that they don't even know
who the backup quarterback is going to be. They will
not aim a backup quarterback until prior to the Week
one game and the regular season opener against the Pittsburgh
Steelers in a pretty good matchup there now. Shanahan also
confirmed that quarterbacks number two and number three will rotate.
(07:16):
They will go back and forth like a seesaw when
the season gets going on. So when the regular season
gets going here in a couple of weeks. So what
do you take away from the forty nine ers muddled
backup quarterback situation. What do you take away from that?
So I've got man, I've got a headache, is what
I've got thinking about. Is because Kyle Shanahan on this
(07:37):
particular topic, he's a smooth operator that people says a
quarterback whisperer and all that, but he's really working as
a washer repairman. He's the doctor of the spin cycle
on this one. Because Shanahan, he's part of that brain
trust that went all in on Trey Lance, and they
(07:59):
don't want you would admit that they screwed it up. Now,
there's also possible scenario where this is all gamesmanship and
the forty nine ers do not want Trey Lance to
be his name to be besmirched because they're planning on
trying to trade him just before the regular season. There
have been some rumblings that the Niners would love to
(08:20):
unload Trey Lance just to have Sam Donald as the
backup and send Trey Lance to Minnesota or somewhere else,
and then the Vikings could have him as the heir
to the throne. He's from Minnesota and they could have
him as the heir to the throne to Kirk Cousins.
But either way, right, I mean, this guy Trey Lance
is such a such a nothing burger for the forty
(08:41):
nine ers. There's a lot of people that ners have
been fine. They're in the NFC Championship Game every other year,
they're in the Super Bowl every other year, so they've
been fine. But man, all right, now, final thought, let's
go to the NBA briefly into the NBA on the
same day that the news broke that the NBA play
and to find James Harden talked about this earlier in
(09:03):
the show. If you were listening, you might have heard it.
Maybe not. Maybe you were listening but only listening with
half an ear. So the seventy six er star James Harden,
who loves China and he's a big fan of China,
and he was over there in China and Beijing and
he body slamm. He actually gave the atomic elbow. Wasn't
a body slam, it was atomic elbow to Darryl Moore.
(09:23):
And so he was fired one hundred thousand dollars for
saying the team president of basketball ops was a liar.
Now the NBA Players Association has entered into the chat.
The NBAPA. They have filed a grievance. You see this
against the league on behalf of James Harden. Now cord
to the story, the Players Association is disputing the NBA's
(09:47):
position here. The NBA is claiming that Harden violated the
CBA prohibiting public trade demands. So the Union is like, well,
he didn't demand a trade. He just said Darren Moore
is a liar, and Moore's a liar. Of course, the
way I interpreted that based on what Harden said all inclusive,
(10:08):
he absolutely was demanding a trade, saying he would never
play for Darryl Moray again because he's a liar. And
so he's either like, you gotta fire Darryl Mory or
I'm out of here, see you later. He did that
on August fourteenth in Beijing. While he was selling merchandise
on one side of the room, he was body slamming
(10:29):
the seventy six ers on the other. So how upset?
How upset is James Harden over the one hundred thousand
dollars fine for ripping the Sixers? President of Basketball Ops.
So this is a COODB Index situation for James Harden,
(10:49):
which means he's not upset at all. This is the
cost of doing business index. For Harden, he wants to trade.
The way to get traded is to scream, shout all
about pound the table, Go gaga. Harden in his career
has cleared just on the court, not including endorsements. He's
got a bunch of those. But Harden has cleared three
(11:11):
hundred million dollars and that does not include his time
as a sneaker salesman, which he's also done a lot of.
So in other words, one hundred thousand dollars is chicken feed.
It's chump change, it's a pittance. It's nothing to worry
about for James Arden. And as we've mentioned all night long,
(11:33):
the real concern is for the ballet dancer that could
have gotten a year's tuition paid for by James Harden,
but instead that money will go directly to the Internal
Revenue Service as a nice donation, a tax deductible donation
there to the IRS. It is the Ben Maler Show.

Wah Wahs is not BUCkies.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
It's not it's like a It's like more like a
little grocery store.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
Yeah, they got a little Hogi stand. I've never been
to a Bucky, so I'd like to check it out.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
This is a great idea. How about I start. You
know how they have in La they have like the
Hollywood tours. I could do a truck top a truck
stop tour and I could hit a wah Wahs and
then we drive the bus down to BUCkies and then
there's a big one. What's the one in Iowa. The
big one in Iowa.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
Well, so we got the I eighty truck stop in Walcott,
which is just like one off. But then they got
the Come and Go.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Which is come and go, so you go to come
and go.
Speaker 5 (23:06):
Yeah, with the Iit truck stop, they say it's the
world's biggest truck stop. But there's one, they say in
Russia that's bigger.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Okay, so that I can fly, I have an international
I could take my people to Russia to see eleven
time zones there. I was getting a visa would be
a bit of a problem.
Speaker 8 (23:20):
You know.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Any time zones there are in China?
Speaker 5 (23:21):
How many one right?
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Right?
Speaker 5 (23:23):
That's in it one time crews with people. It really
you gotta take a gotta take an exam at like
one in the morning. It's called like the people's Communist
time zone. And then in Russia there's eleven. At least
they're doing that right. When you google world's biggest truck stop,
the Iowa eighty truck stop does come.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Not BUCkies.
Speaker 5 (23:44):
Eighty eight truck stops be there's even a trucking museum there,
which I've never been inside, despite uh living or growing
up close to there, not too far now now I'm
interested though, is that Are they just claiming that?
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Are they?
Speaker 5 (23:56):
Is that a false claim? There's one in Texas, a big.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
It says nine hundred parking spots. Pretty ball cot facility.
Speaker 5 (24:04):
Yeah, it's pretty big.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
Is Bucky's mascot? Is that like chipmunk?
Speaker 5 (24:09):
Yeah, it's like a beaver, bround squirrel, Bucky ground squirrel, beaver.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 7 (24:17):
Now.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
The flying j is all over the place. You're flying

Speaker 5 (25:34):
Did you see?
Speaker 4 (25:34):
Reggie Bush has filed a defamation lawsuit against the NCAA.
The lawsuit says it is based on the incaa's malicious
attacking of the character of Reggie Bush by completely submitting
false and highly offensive statements that were widely reported in
the media and substantially and irreparably damaged his reputation.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
I support Reggie the Bush push. This is the bushbrush.
So I guess they've stopped paying for the billboards. Now
they're just gonna pay for lawyers?
Speaker 4 (26:02):
Is that the I don't know the billboard. I think
the billboards still I still love Yeah. Reggie Bush has
a news conference for Wednesday morning at the LA Memorial Coliseum.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Oh, right there at the fifty yard line of the Colisseum.
Or we would be in front of the flame out
in front of the coliseum. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (26:17):
I might be there this Saturday for that San Jose
State game. If you want to meet Iowa Sam Me
and Bo Benson, we might go Wow dropping Bo Benson's
name is. Tickets are dropping, the prices are dropping. They're like,
but I think they're about like thirty nine right now.
We want them to dropped about twenty nine.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Is Fresno State coming to play USC or UCLA this year?
Speaker 3 (26:35):
Not this year?
Speaker 5 (26:35):
Not this year? I did see.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
I got an email from Pete Arbogast.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Oh, the voice of the Trust right the Men of Troy.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
He apparently is giving out free tickets to the USC
Nevada game for those in the media.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Really, Yeah, how come I didn't get that email? Maybe
I would use this, I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
Cook forward it to you if you'd like, Yeah, send.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Me the email.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
If Vada was really bad last year, so maybe that's
because of the opponent or something.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
I don't know. I spend a day at the Policseum,
it'll be a nice hundred and twenty degrees sixty three
to seven. One of the hottest days ever at the
Coliseum was years ago. I think it was Carson Palmer
who was playing quarterback for the Trojans against Purdue and
Drew Brees.
Speaker 5 (27:14):
That would have been like two thousand and one, two.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Long time ago. The heat, the heat index for that
game must have been like one hundred and seventy. It
was so freaking hot, insane.
Speaker 5 (27:23):
The game this Saturday is at five o'clock, so if
we do go, hopefully it's kind of cool and down
a little bit.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Oh yeah, you'll be fine.
Speaker 5 (27:29):
Yeah, I don't think this week's not supposed to be scorching.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
No, but you got a tailgate. I was Sam, there's
a lot there's a lot of scenery you want to
check out at the tailgate of the USC game. Oh yeah,
there's a lot of first round draft picks walking around.
Some lottery picks. Also.
Speaker 5 (27:42):
I went to my first USC game last year when
they played Colorado. I actually had a pretty good time.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Yeah, and those people, like the usc people are so rich,
like they don't tailgate like the common man. They like
hire people to tailgate for him. Right, you've been ready,
you've seen the chefs to cook for being here.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
Very interesting how it's kind of It's just it's like
along the walk to the coliseum, they just like set
up on the sidewalk. I have a delegate there. It's
not like it's in a big field or anything. It's
just kind of wherever they set up there on the
road to walk in the stye.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
So it's different. Like the u cl A crowd. They
have like the in and out truck or something like
that out the u c ol A game. It's a
different situation. But I was at an Oklahoma football game
years ago and we drove into the stadium like seven
in the morning and they had the tall cans of beer.
They were already pounding the beer. Norman, Oklahoma.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
So they do it there. I have an update Tall
Boys before before I get like five more phone calls
on this matter.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Truck stop talk.
Speaker 5 (28:43):
Yes, BUCkies is not a truck stop. Yes, oh it's
a gas station. Is that it's a it's a convenience store.
But they do not allow trucks. I've had I've had
three truckers called to tell me that. Now it's a
big okay, so grand.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
I would like to I would like to retract my
statement from a previous segment of the show regarding BUCkies.
I just assumed anything with gas and food as a
truck stop. But I went out and met him at
a truck stop.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Name.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Do you think Colin Coward's ever gone out to me
to listener to truck stop?
Speaker 4 (29:15):
God?
Speaker 5 (29:15):
No, No, he probably disappear. We'd be worried about him.
He end up at a burlapsed sack somewhere.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Up at a truck stop in Riverside or not Riverside.
Where was sand I forget where? It was San Bernardino somewhere.
I was far away with moving man Matt and hung
out there and he educated me and they had a
burger king at that truck stop. That was not a
great truck stop. Was that it's your biggest fan? Well,
he happens to have the Malord branding on the side
(29:41):
of his truck, the mobile malle or billboard that I
love him some, Ben, he's a big fan of the show. Yes,

(30:07):
there is nobody better in the greater Cleveland area when
it comes to providing a nice experience there. And I wondered,
I thought, maybe this guy's calling because the Dodgers are
in town. Maybe the crowd's gonna be a little amped
up there. Strip Club John from Cleveland, Hello, Strip Club John.
Speaker 5 (30:26):
Uh huh?
Speaker 7 (30:27):
All right, he cost me some money tonight.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
I did. How did I cost you money?
Speaker 6 (30:32):
Well?
Speaker 7 (30:33):
I figured the great Ben Maller would want me to
bet with him and take the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
I listen. I didn't feel very good about it either.
I was watching the game and I was like, oh,
I got the lead. They're up three to one. Then
then it's three, it's three to two, and I think
it was rayis the shortstop box. They had a double
play ball, he didn't get the double play. And then
after that the Roof caved in.
Speaker 7 (30:59):
Yeah, well they go I'm gonna double up tomorrow because
they got Kershaw going against a minor leaguer who is
a bullpen player. He was an opener.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Yeah, but there's gonna be a big number on Kershaw though.
That's the problem, right, there's gonna be a no.
Speaker 7 (31:13):
These are these are friendly bets with customers.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Okay, well if that's the case, then yeah, you're gonna
do great. Yes, if they are friendly, Beck, come on please,
but Kirshaw is probably gonna be like a minus four
hundred favorite five hundred or like that. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (31:27):
Now these are like I lost to five, I lost
to see. I want twenty five customers that are true believers.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
See.
Speaker 7 (31:35):
I like to pick on the true believers, Like the
the main thing I did actually up on Sturdy football
season because I bet the overunder and everybody in the
true believers in Cleveland think they're gonna WUK fifteen games
every every year.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
Well yeah, and that's you're you're proving as you know,
it's trip clip John. That is how the sports books
make all their money, the true believers. They want as
many true believers as they can get because that's what
pays the Bills, the true believer. And I remember years
ago I was in Vegas and this grandma went up
to the sports book in front of me and dropped
like ten thousand on the Saints to win the Super Bowl.
(32:11):
By the way, it was the year they didn't win
the Super Bowl. But it was ridiculous, like this old
woman's been ten grand on the Saints to win the
Super Bowl. But she was a true believer. Strip Club John, No, tryan.
Speaker 7 (32:22):
Jay is a truck stop. That's our owner of the Browns.
That's his business.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Yes, and of course you can.
Speaker 7 (32:30):
Chase me. He did. What's that his name is Kay.
What's the name of the Brown's owner? Oh?
Speaker 1 (32:37):
What is his name? Oh no, it's Jimmy Haslm. He's
the guy that God told him the draft Johnny Manziel, right,
or no, a bum a bomb a bomb my bum
told him to draft Johnny Manziel.
Speaker 7 (32:49):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but he's a flying he's a flying owner.
Speaker 5 (32:54):
Oh yeah, Jimmy, and he got in Jimmy has them.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
He got in some trouble to with the line Jay right,
he was able to know he's rich. So when you're rich,
you don't go to jail.
Speaker 7 (33:04):
No, you don't go to jail. No, no.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
I had been watching this documentary that Cooper recommended, the
Telemarketing documentary, and it's pretty fascinating how those people embezzled
a bunch of money, took a bunch of money, and
then none of them went to jail, at least so far.
I think there's another episode, so maybe they did go
to jail.
Speaker 7 (33:21):
At the club. There was a big crowd afterwards.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Good, all right, well it should be. Yeah, the Dodgers
travel very well too, so if it should be a
lot Dodger apologistic, All right, everything good with you?
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Everything.
Speaker 7 (33:37):
The Browns got a shot to win the division this year.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
If you're drunk and playing a video game, sure they
have a chance to win the division.
Speaker 7 (33:46):
Fantastic MultiMate looks good and Cincinnati they staying the Super
Bowl BI.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
If the Browns. If the Browns don't finish in last place,
they should have a parade for the Browns for the
finishing in last place. But yeah, another I think Stefanski
is going to be coming to your to your establishment
strip club, John because he will not be employed by
the Browns at the end of the season, so I
think he'll be He'll be drowning his sorrows, and he'll
(34:15):
need a little ballet therapy to help him feel better.
Speaker 7 (34:18):
You know, it's the best place whether you whether.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
You're yeah either way or in the middle. You just
need to pick me up either way. All right, thank you, John,
I gotta go call more off in there you go
the great Strip Club, John, who's been calling this show
for years, giving us the inside skinny from inside the clubland.
Speaker 5 (34:37):
Yes, I was saying I'd be remiss if I did
not mention Casey's General Store, which is uh yes, thank
you to the caller called in in their pizza. It's
he's a good grab and they are expanding into the
Midwest or sorry, into the South. They have a very
ambitious plan to stretch this.

Speaker 1 (39:03):
You gotta right, the part that stave you gotta ride
good drap by you. I don't believe a whole novel
name I know, I've never seen that. Well, I actually
have seen that, but that's it was impressive. It was impressive.
Hello and welcome. It's our number three, our three, ready
to go, and we head to the NFL the Pacific Northwest.
Why is Pete Carroll still unwilling to admit he made
the wrong play call in Super Bowl forty nine, that
famous pass play at the goal line against the Patriots.
(00:23):
Malcolm Butler thinks he made the right call. Also, what
do you take away from the forty nine ers muddled
backup quarterback situation? And how upset is James harden over
his one hundred thousand dollars fine for calling the Sixers
GM a liar. I we'll talk about all that and
(00:43):
more right now here. It is our number three, not
budging an inch, not even an inch. Welcome and the
beginning of another hour of the Ben Show. We are
in the air everywhere, me here, you there, as we
(01:05):
are the Quicker Talker upper Coast, the coast, border, the
Motor and beyond on the beast and bodaciously powerful microphones
of fsre emminating live from the shop, the verbal butcher
shop of your sporting heroes. We are broadcasting live from
(01:28):
the tyraq dot com studios. Tyraq dot com will help
you get there and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping free,
road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended installers tyraq
dot com, the way tire buying should be and back
(01:48):
added here in our third hour of overnight nocturnal nonsense,
and our lead this hour comes from the wayback machine.
Consider this a classical Malard monologue, a story that got
a lot of play on these airways. We were here
when it happened in real time. But a rather notorious
(02:09):
Super Bowl momentt the Lombardi Trophy changing hands because of
a decision at the goal line, and that has returned
to the front burner of conversation. You see Seahawks coach
Pete Carroll, at age seventy one, still going strong there.
Pete Carroll recently joined former NFL star Richard Sherman's Fledgling
(02:33):
podcast and they talked about the glory days. Look at
old days when Seattle was on top of the NFL mountain,
the legion of Boom, and all the glory that came
to that Seattle Seahawks team. Now, Carol, it is interesting
to note refused to admit that the team made a mistake,
(02:57):
and he made a mistake that you should never have
emptied the pass play at the goal line when you
had a guy like Marshawn Lynch on your team. So
if you didn't hear this, maybe not. We're gonna play
a decent size clip of Pete Carroll and Richard Sherman
going back and forth talking about the Super Bowl forty
nine play, which resulted in Malcolm Butler becoming an all
(03:21):
time iconic Super Bowl hero for the New England Patriots.
But let's go to the audio tape.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
You know, you guys are so mad at me and
so pissed hurt. I wish I could feel it the
way I should feel it, But you know you got
to keep that play just happened. It wasn't like by design.
It wasn't there was no agenda. That play just happened.
You guys couldn't hear it for years. But when we
got down there, if I remember, we had one time out,
and so as soon as we got there, I said,
one of these plays, we're gonna have to throw it
(03:48):
to get all four plays, because I'm always in make
sure that we have a chance to get all four shots.
So we run the first play and I think what
happened is Bill's late he sends in the goal. Land
team and we had already said it in eleven right,
that went through the play callers, and that's what led
them to throw it on that down. It had nothing
to do with anything else. We've practiced it a million times.
It was just the way we had prepared. So I
(04:10):
was rock solid on the philosophy of it. It just
was the worst play that could ever happen. And the
guy makes a play of a career for everybody's career.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
All right, all right, So there's Pete Carroll there. He
said he was rock solid on the philosophy of the
play there in super Bowl forty nine. So the question is,
why is Pete Carroll still unwilling all these years later
to fully admit that he is the dummy in the
room on that particular play in the Super Bowl loss
(04:42):
for the Seahawks. So I've got Moscow washer Repairman and
the coodb Index, and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to make a Mallar riddle,
which we're going to have coming up later this hour.
The Mallor Riddle of the Day will be coming your
way just mere minutes away when we get done with
(05:04):
this Mallard monologue. So, first, of all, you talk about Seattle,
New England, Super Bowl forty nine, there's a lot of
moving parts to this story. So my theory is Pete
Carroll does not want to own that particular play call
because in his head, he's not even though he was
the head coach, the captain of the ship. Other people
(05:24):
were involved, Daryl Beble, the offensive coordinator, for example, Russell
Wilson ultimately is the one that telegraphed the pass. Malcolm
Butler of the Patriots made a great play on it.
He anticipated what was going to happen, as the Patriots said,
apparently scouted that if you've read some of the stories
since then, that Belichick and the Patriot coaching staff had
(05:45):
an idea of what the Patriots' opponent, the Seattle, was
going to do at the goal line. And so Pete
Carroll looks at all of this, He's like, well, Russell
Wilson shouldn't have thrown the pass the way he threw it,
and if Daryl Bevill hadn't done this, that and the
other thing. So he's heading to Moscow for a nice
Moscow mule, extra vodka and extra lime. He's stubborn, he's uncompromising.
(06:09):
Would be the way I would look at this. Now. Secondly,
let's go to northern California, San Francisco. With brock Party
locked in as the starter, the old Iowa state quarterback. There,
brock Party, the attention has turned to number two, who
is no Number two Underson, but the number one for
(06:31):
number two understand now, So it's competition between Trey Lance.
The Dolphins traded seven thousand first round picks to get
Trey Lance and Sam Darnald, the notorious Sam Darnold. Those
are the options at the number two quarterback behind brock
Perty Now. Kyle Shanahan said the team's backup plan has
(06:53):
not been locked in and that they don't even know
who the backup quarterback is going to be. They will
not aim a backup quarterback until prior to the Week
one game and the regular season opener against the Pittsburgh
Steelers in a pretty good matchup there now. Shanahan also
confirmed that quarterbacks number two and number three will rotate.
(07:16):
They will go back and forth like a seesaw when
the season gets going on. So when the regular season
gets going here in a couple of weeks. So what
do you take away from the forty nine ers muddled
backup quarterback situation. What do you take away from that?
So I've got man, I've got a headache, is what
I've got thinking about. Is because Kyle Shanahan on this
(07:37):
particular topic, he's a smooth operator that people says a
quarterback whisperer and all that, but he's really working as
a washer repairman. He's the doctor of the spin cycle
on this one. Because Shanahan, he's part of that brain
trust that went all in on Trey Lance, and they
(07:59):
don't want you would admit that they screwed it up. Now,
there's also possible scenario where this is all gamesmanship and
the forty nine ers do not want Trey Lance to
be his name to be besmirched because they're planning on
trying to trade him just before the regular season. There
have been some rumblings that the Niners would love to
(08:20):
unload Trey Lance just to have Sam Donald as the
backup and send Trey Lance to Minnesota or somewhere else,
and then the Vikings could have him as the heir
to the throne. He's from Minnesota and they could have
him as the heir to the throne to Kirk Cousins.
But either way, right, I mean, this guy Trey Lance
is such a such a nothing burger for the forty
(08:41):
nine ers. There's a lot of people that ners have
been fine. They're in the NFC Championship Game every other year,
they're in the Super Bowl every other year, so they've
been fine. But man, all right, now, final thought, let's
go to the NBA briefly into the NBA on the
same day that the news broke that the NBA play
and to find James Harden talked about this earlier in
(09:03):
the show. If you were listening, you might have heard it.
Maybe not. Maybe you were listening but only listening with
half an ear. So the seventy six er star James Harden,
who loves China and he's a big fan of China,
and he was over there in China and Beijing and
he body slamm. He actually gave the atomic elbow. Wasn't
a body slam, it was atomic elbow to Darryl Moore.
(09:23):
And so he was fired one hundred thousand dollars for
saying the team president of basketball ops was a liar.
Now the NBA Players Association has entered into the chat.
The NBAPA. They have filed a grievance. You see this
against the league on behalf of James Harden. Now cord
to the story, the Players Association is disputing the NBA's
(09:47):
position here. The NBA is claiming that Harden violated the
CBA prohibiting public trade demands. So the Union is like, well,
he didn't demand a trade. He just said Darren Moore
is a liar, and Moore's a liar. Of course, the
way I interpreted that based on what Harden said all inclusive,
(10:08):
he absolutely was demanding a trade, saying he would never
play for Darryl Moray again because he's a liar. And
so he's either like, you gotta fire Darryl Mory or
I'm out of here, see you later. He did that
on August fourteenth in Beijing. While he was selling merchandise
on one side of the room, he was body slamming
(10:29):
the seventy six ers on the other. So how upset?
How upset is James Harden over the one hundred thousand
dollars fine for ripping the Sixers? President of Basketball Ops.
So this is a COODB Index situation for James Harden,
(10:49):
which means he's not upset at all. This is the
cost of doing business index. For Harden, he wants to trade.
The way to get traded is to scream, shout all
about pound the table, Go gaga. Harden in his career
has cleared just on the court, not including endorsements. He's
got a bunch of those. But Harden has cleared three
(11:11):
hundred million dollars and that does not include his time
as a sneaker salesman, which he's also done a lot of.
So in other words, one hundred thousand dollars is chicken feed.
It's chump change, it's a pittance. It's nothing to worry
about for James Arden. And as we've mentioned all night long,
(11:33):
the real concern is for the ballet dancer that could
have gotten a year's tuition paid for by James Harden,
but instead that money will go directly to the Internal
Revenue Service as a nice donation, a tax deductible donation
there to the IRS. It is the Ben Maler Show.

Then I saw something on twitter X. It was like
pay how much you can make an hour working at BUCkies?
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (22:16):
And I was like, wow, you could be like one
hundred and fifty k for like a store manager. I

Speaker 1 (22:33):
Wah Wahs is not BUCkies.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
It's not it's like a It's like more like a
little grocery store.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
Yeah, they got a little Hogi stand. I've never been
to a Bucky, so I'd like to check it out.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
This is a great idea. How about I start. You
know how they have in La they have like the
Hollywood tours. I could do a truck top a truck
stop tour and I could hit a wah Wahs and
then we drive the bus down to BUCkies and then
there's a big one. What's the one in Iowa. The
big one in Iowa.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
Well, so we got the I eighty truck stop in Walcott,
which is just like one off. But then they got
the Come and Go.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Which is come and go, so you go to come
and go.
Speaker 5 (23:06):
Yeah, with the Iit truck stop, they say it's the
world's biggest truck stop. But there's one, they say in
Russia that's bigger.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Okay, so that I can fly, I have an international
I could take my people to Russia to see eleven
time zones there. I was getting a visa would be
a bit of a problem.
Speaker 8 (23:20):
You know.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Any time zones there are in China?
Speaker 5 (23:21):
How many one right?
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Right?
Speaker 5 (23:23):
That's in it one time crews with people. It really
you gotta take a gotta take an exam at like
one in the morning. It's called like the people's Communist
time zone. And then in Russia there's eleven. At least
they're doing that right. When you google world's biggest truck stop,
the Iowa eighty truck stop does come.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Not BUCkies.
Speaker 5 (23:44):
Eighty eight truck stops be there's even a trucking museum there,
which I've never been inside, despite uh living or growing
up close to there, not too far now now I'm
interested though, is that Are they just claiming that?
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Are they?
Speaker 5 (23:56):
Is that a false claim? There's one in Texas, a big.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
It says nine hundred parking spots. Pretty ball cot facility.
Speaker 5 (24:04):
Yeah, it's pretty big.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
Is Bucky's mascot? Is that like chipmunk?
Speaker 5 (24:09):
Yeah, it's like a beaver, bround squirrel, Bucky ground squirrel, beaver.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 7 (24:17):
Now.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
The flying j is all over the place. You're flying

Did you see?
Speaker 4 (25:34):
Reggie Bush has filed a defamation lawsuit against the NCAA.
The lawsuit says it is based on the incaa's malicious
attacking of the character of Reggie Bush by completely submitting
false and highly offensive statements that were widely reported in
the media and substantially and irreparably damaged his reputation.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
I support Reggie the Bush push. This is the bushbrush.
So I guess they've stopped paying for the billboards. Now
they're just gonna pay for lawyers?
Speaker 4 (26:02):
Is that the I don't know the billboard. I think
the billboards still I still love Yeah. Reggie Bush has
a news conference for Wednesday morning at the LA Memorial Coliseum.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Oh, right there at the fifty yard line of the Colisseum.
Or we would be in front of the flame out
in front of the coliseum. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (26:17):
I might be there this Saturday for that San Jose
State game. If you want to meet Iowa Sam Me
and Bo Benson, we might go Wow dropping Bo Benson's
name is. Tickets are dropping, the prices are dropping. They're like,
but I think they're about like thirty nine right now.
We want them to dropped about twenty nine.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Is Fresno State coming to play USC or UCLA this year?
Speaker 3 (26:35):
Not this year?
Speaker 5 (26:35):
Not this year? I did see.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
I got an email from Pete Arbogast.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Oh, the voice of the Trust right the Men of Troy.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
He apparently is giving out free tickets to the USC
Nevada game for those in the media.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Really, Yeah, how come I didn't get that email? Maybe
I would use this, I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
Cook forward it to you if you'd like, Yeah, send.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Me the email.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
If Vada was really bad last year, so maybe that's
because of the opponent or something.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
I don't know. I spend a day at the Policseum,
it'll be a nice hundred and twenty degrees sixty three
to seven. One of the hottest days ever at the
Coliseum was years ago. I think it was Carson Palmer
who was playing quarterback for the Trojans against Purdue and
Drew Brees.
Speaker 5 (27:14):
That would have been like two thousand and one, two.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Long time ago. The heat, the heat index for that
game must have been like one hundred and seventy. It
was so freaking hot, insane.
Speaker 5 (27:23):
The game this Saturday is at five o'clock, so if
we do go, hopefully it's kind of cool and down
a little bit.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Oh yeah, you'll be fine.
Speaker 5 (27:29):
Yeah, I don't think this week's not supposed to be scorching.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
No, but you got a tailgate. I was Sam, there's
a lot there's a lot of scenery you want to
check out at the tailgate of the USC game. Oh yeah,
there's a lot of first round draft picks walking around.
Some lottery picks. Also.
Speaker 5 (27:42):
I went to my first USC game last year when
they played Colorado. I actually had a pretty good time.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Yeah, and those people, like the usc people are so rich,
like they don't tailgate like the common man. They like
hire people to tailgate for him. Right, you've been ready,
you've seen the chefs to cook for being here.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
Very interesting how it's kind of It's just it's like
along the walk to the coliseum, they just like set
up on the sidewalk. I have a delegate there. It's
not like it's in a big field or anything. It's
just kind of wherever they set up there on the
road to walk in the stye.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
So it's different. Like the u cl A crowd. They
have like the in and out truck or something like
that out the u c ol A game. It's a
different situation. But I was at an Oklahoma football game
years ago and we drove into the stadium like seven
in the morning and they had the tall cans of beer.
They were already pounding the beer. Norman, Oklahoma.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
So they do it there. I have an update Tall
Boys before before I get like five more phone calls
on this matter.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Truck stop talk.
Speaker 5 (28:43):
Yes, BUCkies is not a truck stop. Yes, oh it's
a gas station. Is that it's a it's a convenience store.
But they do not allow trucks. I've had I've had
three truckers called to tell me that. Now it's a
big okay, so grand.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
I would like to I would like to retract my
statement from a previous segment of the show regarding BUCkies.
I just assumed anything with gas and food as a
truck stop. But I went out and met him at
a truck stop.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Name.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Do you think Colin Coward's ever gone out to me
to listener to truck stop?
Speaker 4 (29:15):
God?
Speaker 5 (29:15):
No, No, he probably disappear. We'd be worried about him.
He end up at a burlapsed sack somewhere.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Up at a truck stop in Riverside or not Riverside.
Where was sand I forget where? It was San Bernardino somewhere.
I was far away with moving man Matt and hung
out there and he educated me and they had a
burger king at that truck stop. That was not a
great truck stop. Was that it's your biggest fan? Well,
he happens to have the Malord branding on the side
(29:41):
of his truck, the mobile malle or billboard that I
love him some, Ben, he's a big fan of the show. Yes,
Why don't need to mock him for that. This portion

I thought, maybe this guy's calling because the Dodgers are
in town. Maybe the crowd's gonna be a little amped
up there. Strip Club John from Cleveland, Hello, Strip Club John.
Speaker 5 (30:26):
Uh huh?
Speaker 7 (30:27):
All right, he cost me some money tonight.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
I did. How did I cost you money?
Speaker 6 (30:32):
Well?
Speaker 7 (30:33):
I figured the great Ben Maller would want me to
bet with him and take the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
I listen. I didn't feel very good about it either.
I was watching the game and I was like, oh,
I got the lead. They're up three to one. Then
then it's three, it's three to two, and I think
it was rayis the shortstop box. They had a double
play ball, he didn't get the double play. And then
after that the Roof caved in.
Speaker 7 (30:59):
Yeah, well they go I'm gonna double up tomorrow because
they got Kershaw going against a minor leaguer who is
a bullpen player. He was an opener.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Yeah, but there's gonna be a big number on Kershaw though.
That's the problem, right, there's gonna be a no.
Speaker 7 (31:13):
These are these are friendly bets with customers.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Okay, well if that's the case, then yeah, you're gonna
do great. Yes, if they are friendly, Beck, come on please,
but Kirshaw is probably gonna be like a minus four
hundred favorite five hundred or like that. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (31:27):
Now these are like I lost to five, I lost
to see. I want twenty five customers that are true believers.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
See.
Speaker 7 (31:35):
I like to pick on the true believers, Like the
the main thing I did actually up on Sturdy football
season because I bet the overunder and everybody in the
true believers in Cleveland think they're gonna WUK fifteen games
every every year.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
Well yeah, and that's you're you're proving as you know,
it's trip clip John. That is how the sports books
make all their money, the true believers. They want as
many true believers as they can get because that's what
pays the Bills, the true believer. And I remember years
ago I was in Vegas and this grandma went up
to the sports book in front of me and dropped
like ten thousand on the Saints to win the Super Bowl.
(32:11):
By the way, it was the year they didn't win
the Super Bowl. But it was ridiculous, like this old
woman's been ten grand on the Saints to win the
Super Bowl. But she was a true believer. Strip Club John, No, tryan.
Speaker 7 (32:22):
Jay is a truck stop. That's our owner of the Browns.
That's his business.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Yes, and of course you can.
Speaker 7 (32:30):
Chase me. He did. What's that his name is Kay.
What's the name of the Brown's owner? Oh?
Speaker 1 (32:37):
What is his name? Oh no, it's Jimmy Haslm. He's
the guy that God told him the draft Johnny Manziel, right,
or no, a bum a bomb a bomb my bum
told him to draft Johnny Manziel.
Speaker 7 (32:49):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but he's a flying he's a flying owner.
Speaker 5 (32:54):
Oh yeah, Jimmy, and he got in Jimmy has them.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
He got in some trouble to with the line Jay right,
he was able to know he's rich. So when you're rich,
you don't go to jail.
Speaker 7 (33:04):
No, you don't go to jail. No, no.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
I had been watching this documentary that Cooper recommended, the
Telemarketing documentary, and it's pretty fascinating how those people embezzled
a bunch of money, took a bunch of money, and
then none of them went to jail, at least so far.
I think there's another episode, so maybe they did go
to jail.
Speaker 7 (33:21):
At the club. There was a big crowd afterwards.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Good, all right, well it should be. Yeah, the Dodgers
travel very well too, so if it should be a
lot Dodger apologistic, All right, everything good with you?
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Everything.
Speaker 7 (33:37):
The Browns got a shot to win the division this year.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
If you're drunk and playing a video game, sure they
have a chance to win the division.
Speaker 7 (33:46):
Fantastic MultiMate looks good and Cincinnati they staying the Super
Bowl BI.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
If the Browns. If the Browns don't finish in last place,
they should have a parade for the Browns for the
finishing in last place. But yeah, another I think Stefanski
is going to be coming to your to your establishment
strip club, John because he will not be employed by
the Browns at the end of the season, so I
think he'll be He'll be drowning his sorrows, and he'll
(34:15):
need a little ballet therapy to help him feel better.
Speaker 7 (34:18):
You know, it's the best place whether you whether.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
You're yeah either way or in the middle. You just
need to pick me up either way. All right, thank you, John,
I gotta go call more off in there you go
the great Strip Club, John, who's been calling this show
for years, giving us the inside skinny from inside the clubland.
Speaker 5 (34:37):
Yes, I was saying I'd be remiss if I did
not mention Casey's General Store, which is uh yes, thank
you to the caller called in in their pizza. It's
he's a good grab and they are expanding into the
Midwest or sorry, into the South. They have a very
ambitious plan to stretch this.
