Speaker 1 (02:27):
Be big addition to ask Ben later this hour. But
we begin with the Malvin Monologue'll throw you a bit
of a curve ball. We're gonna talk about a team
we never talk about. People always say, why don't you
talk about this team? They get no media coverage at all.
The Dallas Cabas We start out in Dallas, your daily
fix of Drama Orama from Jerry's World prepackage delivered right
(02:52):
to your front door. The latest tangent who got on
a soapbox, Well, that would be George Pickens. That's right, Georgeickens,
who has received much criticism for his lackadaisical if you're
being kind, performances the last couple of games for the Cowboys,
Pickens was asked about it, and he didn't really want
(03:13):
to talk about it. I don't know if you heard
what he had to say when he was asked about
his lack of hustle.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Maybe not. He said, quote, I'm kind of more focused on.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
And he said the Chargers, honestly. He added, it's starting
to get kind of old. Honestly, So he decided he
wasn't going to talk about it, and then he got
worked up into a ladder and.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Talked about it.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
He then added, everybody has a job to do. Some
people's job is to do that. Pickens said, to tear
down character, see how many clicks they can get. And
Pickens then said, I'm just here to play football and
to help the team, and starting to get kind of.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Old, he said close. Quote all right, so.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
That is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss
the question for the esteem panel. Cowboys wide receiver George
Pickens says criticism of his effort is starting to get
kind of old. Can you put this into context on
what that means. So I've got Christmas tree, remote control,
(04:20):
and focus group, and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to roll snake.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Eyes unless we don't.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
So, first of all, George Pickens saying that criticism is
starting to get old. You know what's actually older than
that loafing on film during NFL games and then acting
shocked when people call you out on your bull crap. Okay,
it's like, come on, this is not a news story,
Believe it or not, George, I've been doing this since
before the Internet, and people goofed on athletes that didn't
(04:54):
hustle before the internet.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
It actually happened. There was rock.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Bottom before social media. This is not ancient history. By
the way, we're not looking at microfilm. It's fresh clips online.
It's still warm. It shows a wide receiver running roots
or routes depending on where you grew up. That looks
like he's literally dragging a Christmas tree behind him, not
just any Christmas tree. Remember that old classic the Vacation
(05:21):
Movies with it was an actor named Chevy Chase and
he went down to the forest and he cut down
the tree and then dragged it like an actual giantry.
That's essentially what George Pickens looks like when he's out
there in the field. Like he went out to the
woods with a chainsaw, he cut down the tree and
then he wrapped it around like they put a string
on it, wrapped it around his body and carried the
tree as he's running routes the mather Dakota Ring. Translation,
(05:47):
George Pickens is not offended by criticism. He's offended by
the a word accountability. George is bug eyed because he's
getting called out for running from the grind. He ran
from the grind and then ducking behind the velvet rope.
(06:08):
And what velvet rope is that the velvet rope of
victim hood, right, victim hood is that is that, that's
where it's at, And so everyone else is the problem.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Everyone else is the problem. The media.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
The clickity click that's out there, which is the way
the media works now.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
It's based on clicks. So everyone says it's just a clickbait.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Well, yeah, that's what it is, dummy, And if you
keep clicking on it, you're the reason people do that,
it's your fault, so don't be blaming someone else.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
But in this case, he's like the internet boogeyman, Buggy mugget,
Muggy Muggy mugget, Muggy buggy man.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
That is what he's saying. And so that's an Internet
boiler plate move. Blame the messenger, not the message. You
blame the messenger, not the message. Now, noticed that what
Pickens didn't say. He didn't say the clips were fake.
He didn't say the effort was misunderstood, didn't say it
was ai. He said people are making money off it
(07:06):
is what he said. Well, welcome to twenty twenty five.
Pal Laziness has resale value, and this is a reboot
from his Pittsburgh days, same software, same glitches. And when
you jog and you go have speed, people notice they
talk about it. And when you sulk, they talk louder.
(07:28):
And that's not tearing down character. That's a performance.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Review, is what it is. Right.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
So again, you don't need some kind of like a
focus group to figure that out. Just common sense. Now. Secondly,
the Cincinnati we go the latest stylings, and you know
we love our stylings.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
The latest stylings of the drama.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
That's going on there, not just in Dallas, but these
stylings from Joe Burrow, the Bengals franchise quarterback who continue
use to be peppered with questions every media availability. These
questions are there about his future in Cincinnati. Team sucks,
so he might as well ask questions about that. So
after complaining in recent weeks about not having fun, we're
(08:17):
not having fun. Then went out and the Bengals had
a knuckle sandwich given to them by the Ravens. So
after all that went down, implied he might leave the NFL. Well,
Joe Burrow declared, he said, I'm going to be playing
football for a long time, he said, and he added,
(08:37):
he feels like the outside people are trying to get
Joe Burrow to hang up the cleats and to leave
and all that. As you we have a little taste
of this. Here's Joe Burrow.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
In his own words.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Here he's getting peppered with questions about his situation.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
And let's take a listen. Let's go to the audio.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Tape in your mind when you're not the quarterback with
Bangles next year.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
I could, I couldn't, I can't see.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
It didn't get both thought about the possibility of not
being the quarterback here.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
During your career?
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Or do you think about a lot of things? Oh see,
that's the money quote. So if you didn't hear that.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
So Burrow was asked He's like, hey, do you think
about the possibility of not being the Bengals quarterback next season?
Speaker 2 (09:20):
And he said I can't see that.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
No.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
And then when he was asked, do you think about
possibly at any point not playing for the Bengals in
your career playing for another team? He said, you think
about a lot of things.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Close quote. Question.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Should Bengals fans feel encouraged or discouraged by Joe Burrow's
latest comments on his situation? All right, so I would
say think of this like a pot luck dinner. Everyone
shows up thinking there might be something good.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
That's probably a lot of bad stuffing. I'm hungry. I'm hungry.
You get there and there's a lot of mystery meat.
And it depends what you school. That's called pot luck.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Sometimes it's good luck, and sometimes it's bad luck, and
sometimes you end up on the toilet all night. On
one hand, though, Joe says he's playing football, he's playing
football for a long time and you can't imagine not
being the Bengals quarterback next season, So that's all positive.
And then on the other hand, he admits that he's
thought about playing for another team someday by saying, you
(10:25):
think about a lot of things. That is what's known
as a double tongued serpent. Double tongued serpent smiling with
one fang out, That's what that is. And Burrow is
talking like the franchise icon. And he's also a free
agent philosopher at the same time, so he's doing both.
He's he's spinning some plates. There Forever Bengal, but I'm
(10:46):
also window shopping, and I'm like, what do I look
like in purple? How would my helmet look if I
had ram horns on it?
Speaker 2 (10:53):
How would that go?
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Things that make you go hmmm, yeah, So forever windows shopping.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Now, this is not betrayal. It's the l word leverage.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Welcome to the zero sum game of the superstar quarterback. Yeah,
that's right, that's right. It is a zero sum game.
Burrow says he loves competition, don't we all, don't we all?
He also loves control, and this is him holding the
remote control. And if he wants out, he can turn
(11:28):
the volume up, make some noise, and then the Bengals
will be forced to change the channel and he can
go Carson Palmer and get out of there and force
the franchise's hand.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
And you can do that. So should the Bengals loyalist panic? No,
you don't panic. Who cares?
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Somebody be playing quarterback for the Bengals every year, whether
it's Joe Burrow, some other Jabebroni, some dingle Berry will
come in there, and if he can't find a Dingleberry,
they'll find a jackwagon. And if they can't find a jackwagon,
they'll find a Mama Loop. But someone will be out there.
Should they relax? No, This is Joe Burrow reminding every man,
woman and child, very politely, very calmly, that loyalty is conditional.
(12:11):
You want a franchise quarterback, This is the price of admission.
It's just the way it is. You're going to get in,
you gotta buy a ticket. And so encourage discouraged a
little bit of this, a little bit of that. And
it's kind of like Cincinnati's famous dish, the chili in Cincinnati,
as has been pointed out to me, like justin Boots
(12:32):
on the Ground, Justin and Cincinnati some other listeners over
the years. It just depends on how much you trust
the recipe and over the restaurant. That's really what it's about.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
All right.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Final thought to Nashville we go, birthplace of Bill Belichick,
where Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback cam Ward. Cam Ward revealed
this week that he hopes to be involved in the
search for the next head coach this offseason. Cam Ward
told reporters, I want to meet all of them, he said,
(13:05):
every coach who gets the opportunity to come here, meaning
to visit with the Titans. I want to have conversation
throughout the process with them.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
I'm going to be here for that whole time. Close quote.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Now Ward later added that the Titans front office has
spoken to him about the coaching search.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
So let's get into this the question.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Cam Ward would like a seat at the grown ups
table in the Tennessee Titans coaching search.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Good idea, bad idea.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
So it is the arrow is pointing towards bad idea,
as in hard pass. This is a bad idea wrapped
in worse timing. The timing could not be worse if
it was a year ago. You could make a more
compelling argument that cam Ward should have had a role
in this where they hired a coach before the draft,
so it wouldn't matter the coaches don't wait until after
(14:00):
the draft. But the point is, prior to cam Ward
getting to the NFL, the perception of cam Ward was
he was going to be pretty good. We have now
seen cam Ward play football. As we go back, you
don't need a focus group here. This is the NFL.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Rule number one.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Rule Number one is separation of powers. The players play,
the front office is higher.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
And when you.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Blur that line, that thin line, you get chaos with
a capital C. Mutiny on the Titans bounty and the
locker room smells that like a burned cast role. If
they figure out that the quarterback hand pick the coach,
the coach is the you know, the quarterback is the
(14:49):
coach is pat or vice versa, it becomes problematic. Now,
cam Ward was the top pick in the draft. He
got the golden ticked, he got the golden tick, he
got the shiny scratch off ticket. Instead, though of performing
to that level, he has been more like like a
(15:10):
champagne that doesn't pop. There's been no pop there. Ranked
thirty sixth among NFL quarterbacks. The only quarterback that sucks
more am unqualified quarterbacks J. J. McCarthy, who, even though
he plays for the Purple People Eaters, is not eating
anything other than mostly bad performances. And so you're hanging
(15:31):
about as low as you can hang in the basement.
And that's not influence worthy football as a rule of thumb.
And this is just my position because it's the Ben
Maler Show, So it's my position. I have long said,
even if it was Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen quarterbacks
(15:52):
of stature Lamar Jackson, I would not let my quarterback
hire the coach. I would not let my quarterback decide
who the coach. You're not in the NBA, you're in
the NFL. And so cam Ward, I would say, pump
the breaks. Now, you got to pump those breaks. And yeah,
I get the personalities there. We like the personality. It
(16:12):
pops Danny and Nashville. He likes it too big personality.
I though, we ask quote is an all time quote
cam Ward talking about the Titans, and we asked, and
that was only like week four. Unfortunately, right now that's
also the scouting report on cam Ward.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
It's he asked, and whoever takes the Titans job.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
There are some rumors in the last couple of weeks
about Mike McCarthy, which would be great news for the
restaurants there in Nashville if they hire Mike McCarthy. And
whoever it is again, maybe it is Mike McCarthy, a
mystery coach.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
All that stuff is not going to.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Go there to consult cam Ward. No, that would be
a rescue and recovery mission. Rescue mission. You bring your
jumper cables, check that box, you bring your duct tape.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
And a prayer.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Cam's job, show a spark before the light goes out.
All right, we have Mallardly third degree right now, let's
hit that button right now. Mallarly third degree by demand
time shifted.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Debt to the third degree. Yeah, this is one big vent.
Gets grilled all right?
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Cool.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
I've been this season seemingly more than other seasons. There
have been a lot of teams that have fallen way
below their high expectations. Which of those teams do you
think has been the biggest disappointment?
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Uh, well, I would say that the Baltimore Ravens, who
are looking like they're not going to make the playoffs
in Kansas City. Those are the top two teams. Kansas City.
Everyone'sho or Kansas City. Kansas City can.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
And they should be in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
It's embarrassing they've fallen this far where they're not going
to make the playoffs. But I to me Baltimore because
Kansas City, a lot of people expected them to have
a fall off because they didn't really improve the roster
and some guys got old there. But Baltimore, this was
still supposed to be their window. And Lamar Jackson miss
his practice all the time. He's not played very well
(18:09):
in these games. So I to me, Baltimore's got to
be high up there along with Kansas City. Neck and
neck as a mono abato if you, and with a
wink and a nod to the Detroit Lions that have
fallen off, they're no longer biting kneecaps.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
Next, a Warriors fan leaked an email between himself and
team owner Joe Lacub where Lacomb admitted his frustrations with
the team and cited complications such as coaches desires regarding players. Now,
Steve Kerr was asked about this, and he said it's
not a big deal. Is it a big deal?
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Ben, Yeah, I don't think he's that big deal. I
saw this. I didn't I was gonna mention it in a monologue.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
I didn't think it was that big a deal. I
think it's kind of cool that Joe Lacob broke back.
He didn't really say much I thought in the email,
but it does show you that he cares and he
is annoyed.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
He knows that the product's not good.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
The Warrior fans are having problems dealing with the fact
they're just they've fallen off.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Alamedahlu and those guys that love the Warriors. This is
what happens. It happens to all the teams that have
great runs.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
When the Lakers went through this, the Celtics when they've
had great teams, the Pistons. You're really good for a while,
and then you hold on to those veteran players and
it's you're not terrible, but you're not a legitimate championship
team and you're stuck in this twilight zone. And obviously
coaches have favorite players. That's not a secret. Steve Kerr
(19:32):
liked certain kind of players, just like whoever.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Your favorite coach does. That's the way it works next.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
Adam Silver said on Tuesday that the NBA will make
a decision on expansion in twenty twenty six, and he
specifically mentioned Las Vegas and Seattle, ben do you think
both of those cities will get a team?
Speaker 1 (19:48):
So I heard from a little birdie this was several
years back, Coop, that Seattle was definitely getting a team
and the plan was to go to Vegas. That was
in twenty nineteen. It's twenty twenty five. They had Now
the argument, the reason we have an ad expansion is
because we had the pandemic that delayed things, and then
(20:10):
the television contracts where now they're on Amazon and NBC
and all that.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
So that stuff's taken care of.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
The problem is, though, you got to cut up that
pie and the slices get a little bit smaller for
the Knickerbockers and the Timberwolves and the Rockets and all that.
But they're going to have two teams, and you got
to bring back the Sonic name. They did it with
the Hornets and Charlotte, bring back the SuperSonics, and have
(20:36):
a gambling name for the team in Vegas, having the
slot machines.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Or something like that, and they're going to lean into
the gambling, and why not Chauncey Phillips led it. He
leaned into the gambling. All right, there it is Mallard
of the third degree. How did we do you pass this?
Speaker 5 (20:49):
Editions?
Speaker 6 (20:49):
There's a whin I want?
Speaker 2 (20:52):
All right, we'll take your calls. We have asked Ben
later this our time. Now for a Mallard riddle of

off the air. Some of these guys you got to
hang up on them, like Jed who fled. They don't
shut up, Mike the leprechaon And the most amazing thing
about the Chicago Bears this year, Ben Johnson was brought
(35:12):
in to be the quarterback savior of Caleb Williams. And
Caleb Williams has worse numbers than justin fields this season
and the Bears have a great record. So the thing
you hired Ben Johnson for is not working.

Speaker 7 (37:27):
Hi.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
Gunner.
Speaker 5 (37:28):
Gunnar would like to know what's your favorite kind of
French fry.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
I like the kind of fries I eat after watching
the Carolina Panthers lose to the New Orleans Saints.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
Gunner, that's the kind of fries that I like a lot.
Those are really really good.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
No, I like curly fries, but they don't give you
enough in the little basket. And like RB's curly fries
are really good. McDonald's fries are solid. I'm a big
fry guy. I love fries. It's hard to f up fries.
I'll even eat soggy fries. I don't enjoy soggy fries,
but I'll eat them cause I love fries.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
What about you, Lorena. Oh, it's so.
Speaker 11 (38:02):
Hard with the fry because there is so many different varieties.
But I like the kind that kind of a shoe stringy,
but a little fatter than that, and you can leave
them in your steak juice and they soak up nicely.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
What about a potato wedge that's too big for you?
Speaker 11 (38:17):
It's too fat?
Speaker 2 (38:18):
Yeah, you're anti fat? I got it, I got you,
I coopleloop I.
Speaker 5 (38:23):
I'm kind of with Loraina. I do like just you know,
the regular.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
You know, the but basic with a fry.
Speaker 5 (38:30):
Yeah, but I also do enjoy a crinkle cut a lot.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
What about the curly? You don't like the curly? What's
wrong with the curly?
Speaker 5 (38:37):
It's not being wrong with the curly, it's just not,
you know, not my favorite. I do enjoy curly fries though.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
Okay, all right, fair enough, what's next here? It's ask Ben,
Your questions are answers.
Speaker 5 (38:50):
This question is just for you, Ben. It is from
Bill on Twitter.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
Hi Bill.
Speaker 5 (38:56):
He wants to know do you give Christmas gifts to
your non Jewish friends?
Speaker 1 (39:01):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (39:02):
Yeah, I mean I'm.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
My problem is I lose track of time. I'm just
so worried about the show. Every day I spend all
my time on that. I forget, like I don't even
know what day it is most.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
Of the time.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
But yeah, I'll give out stuff to random people. Usually
my wife handles most of that crap, though, but I don't.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
Uh yeah, the answer is yes, next, What's next? What
I got?
Speaker 5 (39:22):
This question is from Donkey Sausage.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
Hide Donkey Hie. Donkey wants to know.
Speaker 5 (39:27):
Do you have any allergies?
Speaker 2 (39:30):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (39:31):
Yeah, I am allergic to penicillin. That's about I think
that's the only one. I thought, like a year ago,
I was allergic to something else, but it turned out
I was not.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
I think that's the only one I really have at
this point. Loraina. Any allergies, Loraina?
Speaker 11 (39:46):
Well, I don't want anyone to go and put anything
in my food that might harm me. But uh, sometimes
I have allergic reaction to eating bread and I get
a weird rash on the top of my mouth.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
Also, you have a gluten analogy. I don't know if
it's a gluten analogy. Red's gluten.
Speaker 11 (40:00):
Yeah, but there's other things in bread too that could
cause it.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
What else is there?
Speaker 11 (40:05):
I don't know, but it doesn't always happen, that's the
weird part. So, like, I can have regular sandwiches, but
sometimes if I have like, like I've had a bagel
before that does it to my mouth. I don't know,
it's weird.
Speaker 5 (40:16):
But no medicine. I'm not allergic to medicine that I
know of.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
There's gluten and everything though, just about avoid the gluten.
Speaker 11 (40:22):
And that's the thing. If it was everything, then I
would wouldn't be able to eat anything.
Speaker 5 (40:27):
I wasn't thinking about medication, but since you brought it up,
I am allergic to doxy cycling that's a h a
type of a cyllin that's a you know, but antibiotic
or antibiotic and have to sneeze. Okay uh. And then
also I have a few different nut allergies like macadami nut,
(40:51):
hazel nuts. It's not that bad. I still bless you.
You have a mic.
Speaker 2 (40:55):
Thanks for not turning the MinC up. I appreciate that time.
Speaker 5 (40:58):
I still eat them. My throw just gets a little scratchy,
but you know they're delicious, so I still do it.
And then leechee that one I cannot eat.
Speaker 11 (41:05):
Don't I love a good leechee?
Speaker 4 (41:07):
All right?
Speaker 2 (41:08):
Fair enough? What's that is? Ask Ben?
Speaker 1 (41:09):
Your questions are answers for the rest of the hour.
Your questions hashtag.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
Ask Ben. If you like it, we do it every
weekend about this time. If you don't like it, we
do it once a week So who the hell care is?

the run around Here on the Ben Maler Show podcast,
we stayed up all night for this fresh pod. So
Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens says criticism of his lack
of effort is starting to get kind of old. Can
you put into context what Pickens means by this? Also,
(00:24):
should Bengal fans feel encouraged or discouraged by Joe Burrow's
latest comments about his status in Cincinnati and cam Ward
in Nashville? He would like a seat at the grown
ups table in the Tennessee Titans coaching search. Is that
a good idea or a bad idea? And is the
(00:48):
party over for the number one? Pick there, cam Ward
of the Tennessee Titans. We'll get to all of that
and much more right now. Also ask ban here in
our number three and it's all yours. Enjoy, very very

Tire i raq dot Com. The Way Tire Buying Show.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Be big addition to ask Ben later this hour. But
we begin with the Malvin Monologue'll throw you a bit
of a curve ball. We're gonna talk about a team
we never talk about. People always say, why don't you
talk about this team? They get no media coverage at all.
The Dallas Cabas We start out in Dallas, your daily
fix of Drama Orama from Jerry's World prepackage delivered right
(02:52):
to your front door. The latest tangent who got on
a soapbox, Well, that would be George Pickens. That's right, Georgeickens,
who has received much criticism for his lackadaisical if you're
being kind, performances the last couple of games for the Cowboys,
Pickens was asked about it, and he didn't really want
(03:13):
to talk about it. I don't know if you heard
what he had to say when he was asked about
his lack of hustle.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Maybe not. He said, quote, I'm kind of more focused on.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
And he said the Chargers, honestly. He added, it's starting
to get kind of old. Honestly, So he decided he
wasn't going to talk about it, and then he got
worked up into a ladder and.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Talked about it.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
He then added, everybody has a job to do. Some
people's job is to do that. Pickens said, to tear
down character, see how many clicks they can get. And
Pickens then said, I'm just here to play football and
to help the team, and starting to get kind of.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Old, he said close. Quote all right, so.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
That is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss
the question for the esteem panel. Cowboys wide receiver George
Pickens says criticism of his effort is starting to get
kind of old. Can you put this into context on
what that means. So I've got Christmas tree, remote control,
(04:20):
and focus group, and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to roll snake.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Eyes unless we don't.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
So, first of all, George Pickens saying that criticism is
starting to get old. You know what's actually older than
that loafing on film during NFL games and then acting
shocked when people call you out on your bull crap. Okay,
it's like, come on, this is not a news story,
Believe it or not, George, I've been doing this since
before the Internet, and people goofed on athletes that didn't
(04:54):
hustle before the internet.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
It actually happened. There was rock.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Bottom before social media. This is not ancient history. By
the way, we're not looking at microfilm. It's fresh clips online.
It's still warm. It shows a wide receiver running roots
or routes depending on where you grew up. That looks
like he's literally dragging a Christmas tree behind him, not
just any Christmas tree. Remember that old classic the Vacation
(05:21):
Movies with it was an actor named Chevy Chase and
he went down to the forest and he cut down
the tree and then dragged it like an actual giantry.
That's essentially what George Pickens looks like when he's out
there in the field. Like he went out to the
woods with a chainsaw, he cut down the tree and
then he wrapped it around like they put a string
on it, wrapped it around his body and carried the
tree as he's running routes the mather Dakota Ring. Translation,
(05:47):
George Pickens is not offended by criticism. He's offended by
the a word accountability. George is bug eyed because he's
getting called out for running from the grind. He ran
from the grind and then ducking behind the velvet rope.
(06:08):
And what velvet rope is that the velvet rope of
victim hood, right, victim hood is that is that, that's
where it's at, And so everyone else is the problem.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Everyone else is the problem. The media.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
The clickity click that's out there, which is the way
the media works now.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
It's based on clicks. So everyone says it's just a clickbait.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Well, yeah, that's what it is, dummy, And if you
keep clicking on it, you're the reason people do that,
it's your fault, so don't be blaming someone else.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
But in this case, he's like the internet boogeyman, Buggy mugget,
Muggy Muggy mugget, Muggy buggy man.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
That is what he's saying. And so that's an Internet
boiler plate move. Blame the messenger, not the message. You
blame the messenger, not the message. Now, noticed that what
Pickens didn't say. He didn't say the clips were fake.
He didn't say the effort was misunderstood, didn't say it
was ai. He said people are making money off it
(07:06):
is what he said. Well, welcome to twenty twenty five.
Pal Laziness has resale value, and this is a reboot
from his Pittsburgh days, same software, same glitches. And when
you jog and you go have speed, people notice they
talk about it. And when you sulk, they talk louder.
(07:28):
And that's not tearing down character. That's a performance.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Review, is what it is. Right.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
So again, you don't need some kind of like a
focus group to figure that out. Just common sense. Now. Secondly,
the Cincinnati we go the latest stylings, and you know
we love our stylings.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
The latest stylings of the drama.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
That's going on there, not just in Dallas, but these
stylings from Joe Burrow, the Bengals franchise quarterback who continue
use to be peppered with questions every media availability. These
questions are there about his future in Cincinnati. Team sucks,
so he might as well ask questions about that. So
after complaining in recent weeks about not having fun, we're
(08:17):
not having fun. Then went out and the Bengals had
a knuckle sandwich given to them by the Ravens. So
after all that went down, implied he might leave the NFL. Well,
Joe Burrow declared, he said, I'm going to be playing
football for a long time, he said, and he added,
(08:37):
he feels like the outside people are trying to get
Joe Burrow to hang up the cleats and to leave
and all that. As you we have a little taste
of this. Here's Joe Burrow.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
In his own words.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Here he's getting peppered with questions about his situation.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
And let's take a listen. Let's go to the audio.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Tape in your mind when you're not the quarterback with
Bangles next year.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
I could, I couldn't, I can't see.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
It didn't get both thought about the possibility of not
being the quarterback here.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
During your career?
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Or do you think about a lot of things? Oh see,
that's the money quote. So if you didn't hear that.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
So Burrow was asked He's like, hey, do you think
about the possibility of not being the Bengals quarterback next season?
Speaker 2 (09:20):
And he said I can't see that.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
No.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
And then when he was asked, do you think about
possibly at any point not playing for the Bengals in
your career playing for another team? He said, you think
about a lot of things.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Close quote. Question.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Should Bengals fans feel encouraged or discouraged by Joe Burrow's
latest comments on his situation? All right, so I would
say think of this like a pot luck dinner. Everyone
shows up thinking there might be something good.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
That's probably a lot of bad stuffing. I'm hungry. I'm hungry.
You get there and there's a lot of mystery meat.
And it depends what you school. That's called pot luck.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Sometimes it's good luck, and sometimes it's bad luck, and
sometimes you end up on the toilet all night. On
one hand, though, Joe says he's playing football, he's playing
football for a long time and you can't imagine not
being the Bengals quarterback next season, So that's all positive.
And then on the other hand, he admits that he's
thought about playing for another team someday by saying, you
(10:25):
think about a lot of things. That is what's known
as a double tongued serpent. Double tongued serpent smiling with
one fang out, That's what that is. And Burrow is
talking like the franchise icon. And he's also a free
agent philosopher at the same time, so he's doing both.
He's he's spinning some plates. There Forever Bengal, but I'm
(10:46):
also window shopping, and I'm like, what do I look
like in purple? How would my helmet look if I
had ram horns on it?
Speaker 2 (10:53):
How would that go?
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Things that make you go hmmm, yeah, So forever windows shopping.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Now, this is not betrayal. It's the l word leverage.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Welcome to the zero sum game of the superstar quarterback. Yeah,
that's right, that's right. It is a zero sum game.
Burrow says he loves competition, don't we all, don't we all?
He also loves control, and this is him holding the
remote control. And if he wants out, he can turn
(11:28):
the volume up, make some noise, and then the Bengals
will be forced to change the channel and he can
go Carson Palmer and get out of there and force
the franchise's hand.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
And you can do that. So should the Bengals loyalist panic? No,
you don't panic. Who cares?
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Somebody be playing quarterback for the Bengals every year, whether
it's Joe Burrow, some other Jabebroni, some dingle Berry will
come in there, and if he can't find a Dingleberry,
they'll find a jackwagon. And if they can't find a jackwagon,
they'll find a Mama Loop. But someone will be out there.
Should they relax? No, This is Joe Burrow reminding every man,
woman and child, very politely, very calmly, that loyalty is conditional.
(12:11):
You want a franchise quarterback, This is the price of admission.
It's just the way it is. You're going to get in,
you gotta buy a ticket. And so encourage discouraged a
little bit of this, a little bit of that. And
it's kind of like Cincinnati's famous dish, the chili in Cincinnati,
as has been pointed out to me, like justin Boots
(12:32):
on the Ground, Justin and Cincinnati some other listeners over
the years. It just depends on how much you trust
the recipe and over the restaurant. That's really what it's about.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
All right.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Final thought to Nashville we go, birthplace of Bill Belichick,
where Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback cam Ward. Cam Ward revealed
this week that he hopes to be involved in the
search for the next head coach this offseason. Cam Ward
told reporters, I want to meet all of them, he said,
(13:05):
every coach who gets the opportunity to come here, meaning
to visit with the Titans. I want to have conversation
throughout the process with them.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
I'm going to be here for that whole time. Close quote.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Now Ward later added that the Titans front office has
spoken to him about the coaching search.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
So let's get into this the question.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Cam Ward would like a seat at the grown ups
table in the Tennessee Titans coaching search.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Good idea, bad idea.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
So it is the arrow is pointing towards bad idea,
as in hard pass. This is a bad idea wrapped
in worse timing. The timing could not be worse if
it was a year ago. You could make a more
compelling argument that cam Ward should have had a role
in this where they hired a coach before the draft,
so it wouldn't matter the coaches don't wait until after
(14:00):
the draft. But the point is, prior to cam Ward
getting to the NFL, the perception of cam Ward was
he was going to be pretty good. We have now
seen cam Ward play football. As we go back, you
don't need a focus group here. This is the NFL.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Rule number one.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Rule Number one is separation of powers. The players play,
the front office is higher.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
And when you.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Blur that line, that thin line, you get chaos with
a capital C. Mutiny on the Titans bounty and the
locker room smells that like a burned cast role. If
they figure out that the quarterback hand pick the coach,
the coach is the you know, the quarterback is the
(14:49):
coach is pat or vice versa, it becomes problematic. Now,
cam Ward was the top pick in the draft. He
got the golden ticked, he got the golden tick, he
got the shiny scratch off ticket. Instead, though of performing
to that level, he has been more like like a
(15:10):
champagne that doesn't pop. There's been no pop there. Ranked
thirty sixth among NFL quarterbacks. The only quarterback that sucks
more am unqualified quarterbacks J. J. McCarthy, who, even though
he plays for the Purple People Eaters, is not eating
anything other than mostly bad performances. And so you're hanging
(15:31):
about as low as you can hang in the basement.
And that's not influence worthy football as a rule of thumb.
And this is just my position because it's the Ben
Maler Show, So it's my position. I have long said,
even if it was Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen quarterbacks
(15:52):
of stature Lamar Jackson, I would not let my quarterback
hire the coach. I would not let my quarterback decide
who the coach. You're not in the NBA, you're in
the NFL. And so cam Ward, I would say, pump
the breaks. Now, you got to pump those breaks. And yeah,
I get the personalities there. We like the personality. It
(16:12):
pops Danny and Nashville. He likes it too big personality.
I though, we ask quote is an all time quote
cam Ward talking about the Titans, and we asked, and
that was only like week four. Unfortunately, right now that's
also the scouting report on cam Ward.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
It's he asked, and whoever takes the Titans job.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
There are some rumors in the last couple of weeks
about Mike McCarthy, which would be great news for the
restaurants there in Nashville if they hire Mike McCarthy. And
whoever it is again, maybe it is Mike McCarthy, a
mystery coach.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
All that stuff is not going to.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Go there to consult cam Ward. No, that would be
a rescue and recovery mission. Rescue mission. You bring your
jumper cables, check that box, you bring your duct tape.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
And a prayer.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Cam's job, show a spark before the light goes out.
All right, we have Mallardly third degree right now, let's
hit that button right now. Mallarly third degree by demand
time shifted.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Debt to the third degree. Yeah, this is one big vent.
Gets grilled all right?
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Cool.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
I've been this season seemingly more than other seasons. There
have been a lot of teams that have fallen way
below their high expectations. Which of those teams do you
think has been the biggest disappointment?
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Uh, well, I would say that the Baltimore Ravens, who
are looking like they're not going to make the playoffs
in Kansas City. Those are the top two teams. Kansas City.
Everyone'sho or Kansas City. Kansas City can.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
And they should be in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
It's embarrassing they've fallen this far where they're not going
to make the playoffs. But I to me Baltimore because
Kansas City, a lot of people expected them to have
a fall off because they didn't really improve the roster
and some guys got old there. But Baltimore, this was
still supposed to be their window. And Lamar Jackson miss
his practice all the time. He's not played very well
(18:09):
in these games. So I to me, Baltimore's got to
be high up there along with Kansas City. Neck and
neck as a mono abato if you, and with a
wink and a nod to the Detroit Lions that have
fallen off, they're no longer biting kneecaps.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
Next, a Warriors fan leaked an email between himself and
team owner Joe Lacub where Lacomb admitted his frustrations with
the team and cited complications such as coaches desires regarding players. Now,
Steve Kerr was asked about this, and he said it's
not a big deal. Is it a big deal?
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Ben, Yeah, I don't think he's that big deal. I
saw this. I didn't I was gonna mention it in a monologue.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
I didn't think it was that big a deal. I
think it's kind of cool that Joe Lacob broke back.
He didn't really say much I thought in the email,
but it does show you that he cares and he
is annoyed.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
He knows that the product's not good.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
The Warrior fans are having problems dealing with the fact
they're just they've fallen off.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Alamedahlu and those guys that love the Warriors. This is
what happens. It happens to all the teams that have
great runs.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
When the Lakers went through this, the Celtics when they've
had great teams, the Pistons. You're really good for a while,
and then you hold on to those veteran players and
it's you're not terrible, but you're not a legitimate championship
team and you're stuck in this twilight zone. And obviously
coaches have favorite players. That's not a secret. Steve Kerr
(19:32):
liked certain kind of players, just like whoever.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Your favorite coach does. That's the way it works next.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
Adam Silver said on Tuesday that the NBA will make
a decision on expansion in twenty twenty six, and he
specifically mentioned Las Vegas and Seattle, ben do you think
both of those cities will get a team?
Speaker 1 (19:48):
So I heard from a little birdie this was several
years back, Coop, that Seattle was definitely getting a team
and the plan was to go to Vegas. That was
in twenty nineteen. It's twenty twenty five. They had Now
the argument, the reason we have an ad expansion is
because we had the pandemic that delayed things, and then
(20:10):
the television contracts where now they're on Amazon and NBC
and all that.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
So that stuff's taken care of.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
The problem is, though, you got to cut up that
pie and the slices get a little bit smaller for
the Knickerbockers and the Timberwolves and the Rockets and all that.
But they're going to have two teams, and you got
to bring back the Sonic name. They did it with
the Hornets and Charlotte, bring back the SuperSonics, and have
(20:36):
a gambling name for the team in Vegas, having the
slot machines.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Or something like that, and they're going to lean into
the gambling, and why not Chauncey Phillips led it. He
leaned into the gambling. All right, there it is Mallard
of the third degree. How did we do you pass this?
Speaker 5 (20:49):
Editions?
Speaker 6 (20:49):
There's a whin I want?
Speaker 2 (20:52):
All right, we'll take your calls. We have asked Ben
later this our time. Now for a Mallard riddle of

said she wasn't a sports fan, so she was testing
me out. And I looked into it and I found
out she was a sports fan. And she said. I

You very much, We thank you the D Block. Look

off the air, get my take on the a, get
off the air. Some of these guys you got to
hang up on them, like Jed who fled. They don't
shut up, Mike the leprechaon And the most amazing thing
about the Chicago Bears this year, Ben Johnson was brought
(35:12):
in to be the quarterback savior of Caleb Williams. And
Caleb Williams has worse numbers than justin fields this season
and the Bears have a great record. So the thing
you hired Ben Johnson for is not working.

Hi.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
Gunner.
Speaker 5 (37:28):
Gunnar would like to know what's your favorite kind of
French fry.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
I like the kind of fries I eat after watching
the Carolina Panthers lose to the New Orleans Saints.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
Gunner, that's the kind of fries that I like a lot.
Those are really really good.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
No, I like curly fries, but they don't give you
enough in the little basket. And like RB's curly fries
are really good. McDonald's fries are solid. I'm a big
fry guy. I love fries. It's hard to f up fries.
I'll even eat soggy fries. I don't enjoy soggy fries,
but I'll eat them cause I love fries.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
What about you, Lorena. Oh, it's so.
Speaker 11 (38:02):
Hard with the fry because there is so many different varieties.
But I like the kind that kind of a shoe stringy,
but a little fatter than that, and you can leave
them in your steak juice and they soak up nicely.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
What about a potato wedge that's too big for you?
Speaker 11 (38:17):
It's too fat?
Speaker 2 (38:18):
Yeah, you're anti fat? I got it, I got you,
I coopleloop I.
Speaker 5 (38:23):
I'm kind of with Loraina. I do like just you know,
the regular.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
You know, the but basic with a fry.
Speaker 5 (38:30):
Yeah, but I also do enjoy a crinkle cut a lot.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
What about the curly? You don't like the curly? What's
wrong with the curly?
Speaker 5 (38:37):
It's not being wrong with the curly, it's just not,
you know, not my favorite. I do enjoy curly fries though.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
Okay, all right, fair enough, what's next here? It's ask Ben,
Your questions are answers.
Speaker 5 (38:50):
This question is just for you, Ben. It is from
Bill on Twitter.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
Hi Bill.
Speaker 5 (38:56):
He wants to know do you give Christmas gifts to
your non Jewish friends?
Speaker 1 (39:01):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (39:02):
Yeah, I mean I'm.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
My problem is I lose track of time. I'm just
so worried about the show. Every day I spend all
my time on that. I forget, like I don't even
know what day it is most.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
Of the time.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
But yeah, I'll give out stuff to random people. Usually
my wife handles most of that crap, though, but I don't.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
Uh yeah, the answer is yes, next, What's next? What
I got?
Speaker 5 (39:22):
This question is from Donkey Sausage.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
Hide Donkey Hie. Donkey wants to know.
Speaker 5 (39:27):
Do you have any allergies?
Speaker 2 (39:30):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (39:31):
Yeah, I am allergic to penicillin. That's about I think
that's the only one. I thought, like a year ago,
I was allergic to something else, but it turned out
I was not.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
I think that's the only one I really have at
this point. Loraina. Any allergies, Loraina?
Speaker 11 (39:46):
Well, I don't want anyone to go and put anything
in my food that might harm me. But uh, sometimes
I have allergic reaction to eating bread and I get
a weird rash on the top of my mouth.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
Also, you have a gluten analogy. I don't know if
it's a gluten analogy. Red's gluten.
Speaker 11 (40:00):
Yeah, but there's other things in bread too that could
cause it.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
What else is there?
Speaker 11 (40:05):
I don't know, but it doesn't always happen, that's the
weird part. So, like, I can have regular sandwiches, but
sometimes if I have like, like I've had a bagel
before that does it to my mouth. I don't know,
it's weird.
Speaker 5 (40:16):
But no medicine. I'm not allergic to medicine that I
know of.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
There's gluten and everything though, just about avoid the gluten.
Speaker 11 (40:22):
And that's the thing. If it was everything, then I
would wouldn't be able to eat anything.
Speaker 5 (40:27):
I wasn't thinking about medication, but since you brought it up,
I am allergic to doxy cycling that's a h a
type of a cyllin that's a you know, but antibiotic
or antibiotic and have to sneeze. Okay uh. And then
also I have a few different nut allergies like macadami nut,
(40:51):
hazel nuts. It's not that bad. I still bless you.
You have a mic.
Speaker 2 (40:55):
Thanks for not turning the MinC up. I appreciate that time.
Speaker 5 (40:58):
I still eat them. My throw just gets a little scratchy,
but you know they're delicious, so I still do it.
And then leechee that one I cannot eat.
Speaker 11 (41:05):
Don't I love a good leechee?
Speaker 4 (41:07):
All right?
Speaker 2 (41:08):
Fair enough? What's that is? Ask Ben?
Speaker 1 (41:09):
Your questions are answers for the rest of the hour.
Your questions hashtag.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
Ask Ben. If you like it, we do it every
weekend about this time. If you don't like it, we
do it once a week So who the hell care is?

Speaker 5 (41:19):
Rory would like to know what is your favorite dairy product?
