Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number four, hour four of
our radio program, and we asked the question which Super
Bowl matchup would bring the most juice? Who's gonna bring
the most juice to the Super Bowl? Also which player
(00:23):
can cash in the most from leaning on Championship Sunday
and getting to the Super Bowl. We'll look at the
endorsement world and who has won the trash talk battle
that has been going on this week between the Chiefs
and the Bengals. We discuss all that and a whole
lot more. It is a super Bowl edition, will also
(00:45):
have the Coop Scoop on entertainment and many more surprises here.
It is our number four. They call it the Super Bowl.
But what is the most super matchup available? We only
have four teams? Laugh. We'll talk about that. Welcome. In
(01:05):
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Maller Show.
We are in the air everywhere comrades in insomnia as
we slip into vacation mode unless we don't coast the
coast border to order and beyond, all the vast and
ludicrously powerful microphones of fs are emanating live from the image,
(01:31):
the spitting image of the good shows. We are broadcasting
live from the tirerac dot Com studios ti iraq dot com.
We'll help you get there and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,
free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers.
Tirerac dot com the way tire buying should be. So
(01:53):
our lead this hour coming from championship weekend in the NFL.
It's always a depress time of the year around these
parts in sports radio because we just have three games left,
two on Sunday, and then we got to wait a
couple of weeks for Super Bowl Sunday. And that's all
she wrote on the twenty twenty two season. As we
are in twenty twenty three now and we're down to
(02:15):
the final four. Just that's it. Super Bowl fifty seven
two weeks from Sunday, and the NFC title game on
Fox has the forty nine Ers visiting the Eagles, and
that game Eagles favored by two and a half points
in that game in the NFC. The AFC game, which
(02:37):
is the late game, matches up the Bengals and the Chiefs,
and that line has gone all over the place. It
started out the Chiefs were favored by two and a half.
Then Cincinnati was favored by a point, and now it's
gone back the other way and Kansas City is favored
by a point and a half at Chili Arrowhead Stadium
(02:59):
on Sunday, Sunday Sunday, and so only two will be
left standing by the time we get back behind these microphones.
The weekend ends late Sunday night early Monday morning, depending
on which time zone you're in, And you probably know
the storylines going into this weekend, but maybe not. In
(03:21):
the NFC, it's the Unwashed brock Purty, the great Unwashed,
trying to knock the Mighty Eagles nest down and down, down, down,
down down, and spoil the coronation of the dual threat
quarterback Jalen Hurts, who's had a remarkable breakthrough season in Philly.
He's become elites. And if you get to the Super Bowl,
(03:44):
then you're like extra double scoops of elite. If you
can get to that Super Bowl, and that would be
the number one seed Philadelphia Eagles now in the AFC,
it would be the official passing of the baton from
Patrick Mahomes to Joe Burrow. I realized what happened last year.
But if you do it back to back, years. If
the Bengals are able to slay the dragon, that is
(04:05):
the Chiefs for the second consecutive year. Man, And that's something.
And you have the subplot, the juicy subplot. The injured
Mahomes didn't look that injured in the video that's popping
up on the internet with the high ankle sprain. So
let us discuss the question going into the championship weekend,
which super Bowl matchup would bring the most juice? What
(04:31):
is the sexiest matchup? So the only possibilities are Chiefs
forty nine ers, Chiefs Eagles, Bengals Eagles, Bengals forty nine ers,
some combination of one of those four matchups will take place.
So I've got the abominable Snowman, bean stock, and fire hose,
and we will combine all of these random things together
(04:54):
and we are going to make the Babaganosh is what
We're gonna make easy on your stomach, like this show
is easy on the ear unless it's not. So to
kick off the festivities here, we preface this by pointing
out the obvious that the super Bowl is a bulletproof
event that the teams do not matter. In my lifetime,
(05:19):
I have seen, believe it or not. The Arizona Cardinals
playing a super Bowl. I've seen the Carolina Panthers playing
a super Bowl. It hasn't damaged the magical powers of
captivating a massive audience. It is not a sporting event.
It is a cultural event. On the counter, so we
(05:41):
know that this is an event. The Super Bowl were
people that aren't like us we're sports people. People that
don't have the sports gene will watch. So that disclaimer
out of the way. Now from the marketing sound, put
my marketing hat on on Benny's big board. The matchup
that would trump all other matchups based on the team's
(06:03):
remaining I've got the Chiefs and forty nine Ers, a
rematch of a couple of years ago as the end all,
be all matchup. That would be the abominable Snowman, the
Yetti of matchups. Grandios. And let me tell you why,
let me make my elevator pitch. Why that would be
from a marketing standpoint, the matchup because you'd have Patrick Mahomes,
(06:25):
the gold standard of NFL quarterbacks this generation. It would
be his third Super Bowl appearance, overcoming the big injury
with a greedy, gutty performance in the Super Bowl or
in the AC Championship game to get to the super Bowl,
the stuff of legends. The Chiefs the big bad, number
(06:46):
one seed in the AFC. That's the better conference in
football right now. And then on the other side, you'd
have Cinderella, brock Purty, mister Irrelevant left for dead at
the NFL Draft, the last player picked from Sleepy Iowa,
stay off the grid, a new generation's Kurt Warner, although
Kurt Warner was a better story, but you. But you
(07:08):
also have two massive fan bases. The Chiefs kingdom. They
have their tentacles spread outward from Kansas City all over
that region. The forty nine Ers are a blue blood
of the NFL that's been passed down from grandfather, father
and son, going back to Bill wallsh Joe Montana, Cats
like Roger Craig and Jerry Rice and people along those lines,
(07:30):
Ronnie Lott, the legends of that era. So that's that's
the top matchup for some some juice in the NFL.
With a wink at a night. I know the Eagles
have a large fan base, but not as large as
the forty nine Ers. Now. Furthermore, from an individual standpoint,
who's the player? This is a quiz who's the player
(07:51):
who will be able to cash in the most from
winning and getting back to the Super Bowl. So it's
always a quarterback, right, It's always quarterback. And many people
are saying it's jam It hurts because that will solidify
and verify and validate that this guy is the real deal.
But I'm going the other direction on this one, and
(08:12):
it's a guy that has already played in the Super Bowls.
Not Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow. I'm going Joe Burrow, all right,
that's the guy, period stock. Now we have it on
good authority that by the time the NFL storytellers get done,
should Cincinnati win at Arrowhead on Sunday, that Burrow will
(08:32):
be a parabolic figure part of a pig skin fairy tale.
And we mentioned the passing of the baton Mahomes to Burrow,
Burrow to Mahomes back to back years and sorry Jack,
this would be Joe and the bean Stock. A young
Joe trading the family's only cow for a handful of
(08:56):
magical beans, and when a giant bean stock sprouts overnight,
Joe seizes the opportunity. He climbs the giant up to
the giant castle there and steals the Lombardi Trophy with
all the magical possessions. Fe fi fo fum. I think
that's how it goes. I haven't heard that a long time,
(09:16):
but but we have already seen this legend play out
on social media. We mentioned this earlier in the program.
It is our understanding. We're not in this world, but
it is our understanding that Joe Burrow's name has been
one of the top trends on the app TikTok. Why
(09:38):
because the ladies, the women on the TikTok there are
making thirst trap videos for him. They're like, hey, Joe,
look what my mama gave me, and so please keep
your panties on. I guess that's the algorithm on TikTok
right now. Joe Burrow, who knew all right? Party shot.
(09:59):
So these these teams this week have used different degrees
of diplomacy, shall we say? Like I would say the
Eagles have had the least amount of trash talk based
on a minute's long review. The forty nine ers have
had a little bit Deebo Samuel goofing a bid on
the Eagle fan. But most of the noise, for our
(10:21):
purposes has come from the AFC, God bless them right,
political correctness is not the theme of the week. The
Bengals started taking shots at the Chiefs before the clock
hit zero in their divisional playoff game against the Bills.
You probably saw the video or heard the video the audio.
You had Mike Hilton, the defensive back in Cincinnati who
(10:43):
can be heard as saying, we'll see you all in
burrow Head or at Burrowhead. And that was actually before
the game was over. It was a route buffalo was
getting smoked and where the Buffalo roam off the cliff,
and before the game was finally had Eli Apple dancing
for the camera and then goofing on Damar Hamlin on Twitter.
(11:04):
And for those who are in the back of the
room who are a little slow, that obviously is a
play on Arrowheads Stadium. And the reference to Joe Burrow,
who has yet to lose. He's not gonna be unbeaten
forever against the Chiefs. Willie lose on Sunday, but since
being drafted way back in twenty twenty during a global pandemic,
he has been unbeaten against the Chiefs. Now, that's mostly
(11:28):
Cincinnati trash talk, which we love. How about Kansas City.
Now they're linebacker Willie gay Junior. That's right, Willie gage you.
He was asked about all the noise. You don't know
who Willie Gay Jr. Is. You never met his father,
Willie Gay c in your bad job by you anyway.
Willie Gaye Jr. Pretty good player. Was asked about the
(11:49):
trash talk, and he pulled out a butcher knife right now.
He started out generic. He started out, well, you know,
I'm just excited to play for up and all that.
He quoted his quote coach and then listen, we have
the audio on this. He unloads a haymaker. When a
reporter asked, what about the Bengals offense impressed him the most?
(12:12):
Let's go to the audio tape. Here's Willie gay the
Chiefs linebacker. I'm just excited to be playing football. Man.
That's done. Just what comes with the game. You know,
we like goes resay. We don't do it an talk about.
We just go handle business when it's time. Ago, what
is it about that Bengals offense? And maybe impresses you
the host few times? That is fair. Like, we don't
(12:35):
do the we don't do the talking, no talking. We
just go out and handle our business when it's time
to go, And the next thing he says is a
trash talk. Now you know how I feel. If you've
been with me a long time, you know I do
not believe that this will decide the outcome of the game.
I'm not your typical hacks sports media guy. Oh my god,
bulletin Boardmaorial, I don't believe in home field advantage. Other
(12:59):
than whether I don't believe in bulletin board material. Veteran
experience a lot of that stuff right momentum, I don't
believe in that either. But that was pretty good by
Willie Gay. I laugh when I heard that, as I
carved him up pretty good there. So who's won the
trash talk battle? Chiefs and Bengals. The scales on this
one are leaning towards Cincinnati right most of the time.
(13:23):
Whoever punches first, we'll end up winning, right the sucker punch.
It's like that. The guys from Cincinnati have have had
a fire hose in their repartee right. They are connoisseurs quips,
rips and dips, and the Bengals have certainly overpowered Kansas
(13:44):
City with waves of rambunctious smack. They can win that
Jim Rome smack off there grab a hind none. None
of that, of course, will impact the game. It's it
just it really sucks because it's only who plays better
on Sunday. Like, if Patrick Mahomes comes out and needs
a cane, then the Bengals are gonna win. If Mahomes,
(14:05):
if this is all a ruse and this is some
kind of deep fake and Mahomes didn't actually have a
high ankle sprain, it was like a mild sprain, not
a high ankle sprain, and it was misdiagnosed and he's fine,
then the Chiefs will win by three touchdowns. So we
will find out this coming weekend and we'll all find
out together. Wonderful. All right. It is the Ben Mallers Show.
(14:26):
If you would like to be part eight seven seven
ninety nine on Fox. Is the number eight seven seven
nine nine six sixty three six nine. We'll take your

(14:46):
the Mallor Madhouse NFC edition, which was a victory by
no Show for Alamie de Loo representing the forty nine
ers because Fats and Philly didn't show up. But this
guy in Kansas City's trying to find a Bengal fans.
So we can find a Bengal fan that would like
to take on in Maller's Madhouse and represent their squad.

was a tire builder for what at the time was
the largest tire plan in the world. It's now been
shutter two years later. But building tires is not romantic
or man show. It's hard ash water. Oh no, no, no, no, no.
(18:07):
I I'm just like I'm talking about from the consumer perspective,
Like you walk into a store and they've got to
smell on the tire. Yeah, yeah, I'm sure the smells
were terrible, and you probably got a lot of talks
inso your body right then, and a lot of stuff
that you seahing and all that. You don't have many pounds.

One leg and man the one that man had his
leg eating off by an alligator and then he ate
(19:12):
the alligator true story. At least he says it's a
true story, and we have no read. He did send
me photos of his amputated legs, so I do believe
him because I don't think someone would go that far
to pretend to do that. Let's go to Dick in Dayton.

him off for the game. You tell him he's gonna
be fine. I want to see that, Eddie. What stands out?
(25:29):
What are you looking forward to here, Eddie? In the
championship games on Sunday, I want to see if the
Cinderella story can continue against the top team in the NFL,
brock Purty. Can he go into Philadelphia and make some
plays to help the forty Ninders beat the Eagles? And
Eddie also he this is his first East Coast road game.
He's only played two road games all these wins. Most
(25:51):
of the games were at home. He only played at
Seattle and at Vegas. That's it. Everything else was a
home game for brock Purty. What about you, Roberto on
the round, I've been Joe burrow Man, Joe cool is
the man. Man. He reminds me of watching football back
in the day, Joe Montana. Man. The way he just

that I have not been to a movie theaters since COVID,
(28:46):
so it's been multiple years I've not gone. Well, so
part of the fun of this segment is going through
the ten moneies and seeing if you've seen any of them.

from that is Short Round. Oh okay, yes, um um

all of the all of the Awards leading up to
the Oscars for Best Supporting Actor. It's a it's a
pretty cool story. Actually, he's he's pretty awesome. But and

But yeah, I gotta murder, gotta go
Hello and welcome. It's our number four, hour four of
our radio program, and we asked the question which Super
Bowl matchup would bring the most juice? Who's gonna bring
the most juice to the Super Bowl? Also which player
(00:23):
can cash in the most from leaning on Championship Sunday
and getting to the Super Bowl. We'll look at the
endorsement world and who has won the trash talk battle
that has been going on this week between the Chiefs
and the Bengals. We discuss all that and a whole
lot more. It is a super Bowl edition, will also
(00:45):
have the Coop Scoop on entertainment and many more surprises here.
It is our number four. They call it the Super Bowl.
But what is the most super matchup available? We only
have four teams? Laugh. We'll talk about that. Welcome. In
(01:05):
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Maller Show.
We are in the air everywhere comrades in insomnia as
we slip into vacation mode unless we don't coast the
coast border to order and beyond, all the vast and
ludicrously powerful microphones of fs are emanating live from the image,
(01:31):
the spitting image of the good shows. We are broadcasting
live from the tirerac dot Com studios ti iraq dot com.
We'll help you get there and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,
free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers.
Tirerac dot com the way tire buying should be. So
(01:53):
our lead this hour coming from championship weekend in the NFL.
It's always a depress time of the year around these
parts in sports radio because we just have three games left,
two on Sunday, and then we got to wait a
couple of weeks for Super Bowl Sunday. And that's all
she wrote on the twenty twenty two season. As we
are in twenty twenty three now and we're down to
(02:15):
the final four. Just that's it. Super Bowl fifty seven
two weeks from Sunday, and the NFC title game on
Fox has the forty nine Ers visiting the Eagles, and
that game Eagles favored by two and a half points
in that game in the NFC. The AFC game, which
(02:37):
is the late game, matches up the Bengals and the Chiefs,
and that line has gone all over the place. It
started out the Chiefs were favored by two and a half.
Then Cincinnati was favored by a point, and now it's
gone back the other way and Kansas City is favored
by a point and a half at Chili Arrowhead Stadium
(02:59):
on Sunday, Sunday Sunday, and so only two will be
left standing by the time we get back behind these microphones.
The weekend ends late Sunday night early Monday morning, depending
on which time zone you're in, And you probably know
the storylines going into this weekend, but maybe not. In
(03:21):
the NFC, it's the Unwashed brock Purty, the great Unwashed,
trying to knock the Mighty Eagles nest down and down, down, down,
down down, and spoil the coronation of the dual threat
quarterback Jalen Hurts, who's had a remarkable breakthrough season in Philly.
He's become elites. And if you get to the Super Bowl,
(03:44):
then you're like extra double scoops of elite. If you
can get to that Super Bowl, and that would be
the number one seed Philadelphia Eagles now in the AFC,
it would be the official passing of the baton from
Patrick Mahomes to Joe Burrow. I realized what happened last year.
But if you do it back to back, years. If
the Bengals are able to slay the dragon, that is
(04:05):
the Chiefs for the second consecutive year. Man, And that's something.
And you have the subplot, the juicy subplot. The injured
Mahomes didn't look that injured in the video that's popping
up on the internet with the high ankle sprain. So
let us discuss the question going into the championship weekend,
which super Bowl matchup would bring the most juice? What
(04:31):
is the sexiest matchup? So the only possibilities are Chiefs
forty nine ers, Chiefs Eagles, Bengals Eagles, Bengals forty nine ers,
some combination of one of those four matchups will take place.
So I've got the abominable Snowman, bean stock, and fire hose,
and we will combine all of these random things together
(04:54):
and we are going to make the Babaganosh is what
We're gonna make easy on your stomach, like this show
is easy on the ear unless it's not. So to
kick off the festivities here, we preface this by pointing
out the obvious that the super Bowl is a bulletproof
event that the teams do not matter. In my lifetime,
(05:19):
I have seen, believe it or not. The Arizona Cardinals
playing a super Bowl. I've seen the Carolina Panthers playing
a super Bowl. It hasn't damaged the magical powers of
captivating a massive audience. It is not a sporting event.
It is a cultural event. On the counter, so we
(05:41):
know that this is an event. The Super Bowl were
people that aren't like us we're sports people. People that
don't have the sports gene will watch. So that disclaimer
out of the way. Now from the marketing sound, put
my marketing hat on on Benny's big board. The matchup
that would trump all other matchups based on the team's
(06:03):
remaining I've got the Chiefs and forty nine Ers, a
rematch of a couple of years ago as the end all,
be all matchup. That would be the abominable Snowman, the
Yetti of matchups. Grandios. And let me tell you why,
let me make my elevator pitch. Why that would be
from a marketing standpoint, the matchup because you'd have Patrick Mahomes,
(06:25):
the gold standard of NFL quarterbacks this generation. It would
be his third Super Bowl appearance, overcoming the big injury
with a greedy, gutty performance in the Super Bowl or
in the AC Championship game to get to the super Bowl,
the stuff of legends. The Chiefs the big bad, number
(06:46):
one seed in the AFC. That's the better conference in
football right now. And then on the other side, you'd
have Cinderella, brock Purty, mister Irrelevant left for dead at
the NFL Draft, the last player picked from Sleepy Iowa,
stay off the grid, a new generation's Kurt Warner, although
Kurt Warner was a better story, but you. But you
(07:08):
also have two massive fan bases. The Chiefs kingdom. They
have their tentacles spread outward from Kansas City all over
that region. The forty nine Ers are a blue blood
of the NFL that's been passed down from grandfather, father
and son, going back to Bill wallsh Joe Montana, Cats
like Roger Craig and Jerry Rice and people along those lines,
(07:30):
Ronnie Lott, the legends of that era. So that's that's
the top matchup for some some juice in the NFL.
With a wink at a night. I know the Eagles
have a large fan base, but not as large as
the forty nine Ers. Now. Furthermore, from an individual standpoint,
who's the player? This is a quiz who's the player
(07:51):
who will be able to cash in the most from
winning and getting back to the Super Bowl. So it's
always a quarterback, right, It's always quarterback. And many people
are saying it's jam It hurts because that will solidify
and verify and validate that this guy is the real deal.
But I'm going the other direction on this one, and
(08:12):
it's a guy that has already played in the Super Bowls.
Not Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow. I'm going Joe Burrow, all right,
that's the guy, period stock. Now we have it on
good authority that by the time the NFL storytellers get done,
should Cincinnati win at Arrowhead on Sunday, that Burrow will
(08:32):
be a parabolic figure part of a pig skin fairy tale.
And we mentioned the passing of the baton Mahomes to Burrow,
Burrow to Mahomes back to back years and sorry Jack,
this would be Joe and the bean Stock. A young
Joe trading the family's only cow for a handful of
(08:56):
magical beans, and when a giant bean stock sprouts overnight,
Joe seizes the opportunity. He climbs the giant up to
the giant castle there and steals the Lombardi Trophy with
all the magical possessions. Fe fi fo fum. I think
that's how it goes. I haven't heard that a long time,
(09:16):
but but we have already seen this legend play out
on social media. We mentioned this earlier in the program.
It is our understanding. We're not in this world, but
it is our understanding that Joe Burrow's name has been
one of the top trends on the app TikTok. Why
(09:38):
because the ladies, the women on the TikTok there are
making thirst trap videos for him. They're like, hey, Joe,
look what my mama gave me, and so please keep
your panties on. I guess that's the algorithm on TikTok
right now. Joe Burrow, who knew all right? Party shot.
(09:59):
So these these teams this week have used different degrees
of diplomacy, shall we say? Like I would say the
Eagles have had the least amount of trash talk based
on a minute's long review. The forty nine ers have
had a little bit Deebo Samuel goofing a bid on
the Eagle fan. But most of the noise, for our
(10:21):
purposes has come from the AFC, God bless them right,
political correctness is not the theme of the week. The
Bengals started taking shots at the Chiefs before the clock
hit zero in their divisional playoff game against the Bills.
You probably saw the video or heard the video the audio.
You had Mike Hilton, the defensive back in Cincinnati who
(10:43):
can be heard as saying, we'll see you all in
burrow Head or at Burrowhead. And that was actually before
the game was over. It was a route buffalo was
getting smoked and where the Buffalo roam off the cliff,
and before the game was finally had Eli Apple dancing
for the camera and then goofing on Damar Hamlin on Twitter.
(11:04):
And for those who are in the back of the
room who are a little slow, that obviously is a
play on Arrowheads Stadium. And the reference to Joe Burrow,
who has yet to lose. He's not gonna be unbeaten
forever against the Chiefs. Willie lose on Sunday, but since
being drafted way back in twenty twenty during a global pandemic,
he has been unbeaten against the Chiefs. Now, that's mostly
(11:28):
Cincinnati trash talk, which we love. How about Kansas City.
Now they're linebacker Willie gay Junior. That's right, Willie gage you.
He was asked about all the noise. You don't know
who Willie Gay Jr. Is. You never met his father,
Willie Gay c in your bad job by you anyway.
Willie Gaye Jr. Pretty good player. Was asked about the
(11:49):
trash talk, and he pulled out a butcher knife right now.
He started out generic. He started out, well, you know,
I'm just excited to play for up and all that.
He quoted his quote coach and then listen, we have
the audio on this. He unloads a haymaker. When a
reporter asked, what about the Bengals offense impressed him the most?
(12:12):
Let's go to the audio tape. Here's Willie gay the
Chiefs linebacker. I'm just excited to be playing football. Man.
That's done. Just what comes with the game. You know,
we like goes resay. We don't do it an talk about.
We just go handle business when it's time. Ago, what
is it about that Bengals offense? And maybe impresses you
the host few times? That is fair. Like, we don't
(12:35):
do the we don't do the talking, no talking. We
just go out and handle our business when it's time
to go, And the next thing he says is a
trash talk. Now you know how I feel. If you've
been with me a long time, you know I do
not believe that this will decide the outcome of the game.
I'm not your typical hacks sports media guy. Oh my god,
bulletin Boardmaorial, I don't believe in home field advantage. Other
(12:59):
than whether I don't believe in bulletin board material. Veteran
experience a lot of that stuff right momentum, I don't
believe in that either. But that was pretty good by
Willie Gay. I laugh when I heard that, as I
carved him up pretty good there. So who's won the
trash talk battle? Chiefs and Bengals. The scales on this
one are leaning towards Cincinnati right most of the time.
(13:23):
Whoever punches first, we'll end up winning, right the sucker punch.
It's like that. The guys from Cincinnati have have had
a fire hose in their repartee right. They are connoisseurs quips,
rips and dips, and the Bengals have certainly overpowered Kansas
(13:44):
City with waves of rambunctious smack. They can win that
Jim Rome smack off there grab a hind none. None
of that, of course, will impact the game. It's it
just it really sucks because it's only who plays better
on Sunday. Like, if Patrick Mahomes comes out and needs
a cane, then the Bengals are gonna win. If Mahomes,
(14:05):
if this is all a ruse and this is some
kind of deep fake and Mahomes didn't actually have a
high ankle sprain, it was like a mild sprain, not
a high ankle sprain, and it was misdiagnosed and he's fine,
then the Chiefs will win by three touchdowns. So we
will find out this coming weekend and we'll all find
out together. Wonderful. All right. It is the Ben Mallers Show.
(14:26):
If you would like to be part eight seven seven
ninety nine on Fox. Is the number eight seven seven
nine nine six sixty three six nine. We'll take your
calls also on Twitter at Ben Maller. I still got

the Mallor Madhouse NFC edition, which was a victory by
no Show for Alamie de Loo representing the forty nine
ers because Fats and Philly didn't show up. But this
guy in Kansas City's trying to find a Bengal fans.
So we can find a Bengal fan that would like
to take on in Maller's Madhouse and represent their squad.

smell attires. Yeah, you know, I do. I like the
smell of absolutely. Back in the day, old Van here
was a tire builder for what at the time was
the largest tire plan in the world. It's now been
shutter two years later. But building tires is not romantic
or man show. It's hard ash water. Oh no, no, no, no, no.
(18:07):
I I'm just like I'm talking about from the consumer perspective,
Like you walk into a store and they've got to
smell on the tire. Yeah, yeah, I'm sure the smells
were terrible, and you probably got a lot of talks
inso your body right then, and a lot of stuff
that you seahing and all that. You don't have many pounds.
I calculated you'd left building those old bias fly tires
on those real old machines in a in an eight
(18:29):

One leg and man the one that man had his
leg eating off by an alligator and then he ate
(19:12):
the alligator true story. At least he says it's a
true story, and we have no read. He did send
me photos of his amputated legs, so I do believe

That's understandable. All right, It is the Bane Mallers Show.
(23:41):
As we continue on, and let's do the whip around?
Do you want to do the rip around? He let's
do the whip around? Here we go the round robin.
It's championship weekend, the conference championship games in the NFL,
and a quick thought on what we are most looking
forward to? An opinion? Do you want to give a pick?
I'll give my picks out on Benny versus the penny
(24:03):
which will be available today. What's that? What do you
call this? What did I call the the whip around robin?
What do you think? I said? No? No, no, no no, no,
no, no no them round robin. That's what we have been
calling it. Yeah, it was a round robin. There's different
ways you can it's the same. It's the same thing.

and I want to see if we're getting sold to
bill of goods here on Patrick Mahomes ankle and a
(25:06):
handicapping game. Assuming Mahomes is damaged Goods. I saw some
video of him hopping around That scares me a little bit,
but a high ankle spring my entire life. This is
a one month injury, a month and a half injury.
Are you telling me in Mahomes? I know they'll drug
him off for the game. You tell him he's gonna
be fine. I want to see that, Eddie. What stands out?
(25:29):
What are you looking forward to here, Eddie? In the
championship games on Sunday, I want to see if the
Cinderella story can continue against the top team in the NFL,
brock Purty. Can he go into Philadelphia and make some
plays to help the forty Ninders beat the Eagles? And
Eddie also he this is his first East Coast road game.
He's only played two road games all these wins. Most
(25:51):
of the games were at home. He only played at
Seattle and at Vegas. That's it. Everything else was a
home game for brock Purty. What about you, Roberto on
the round, I've been Joe burrow Man, Joe cool is
the man. Man. He reminds me of watching football back
in the day, Joe Montana. Man. The way he just
(26:13):
just like doesn't get rattled. Man, he's a yeah, he
just doesn't get rattled. Reminds me of reminds me of
Joe Montana a lot in that way. You know, he
moves on. He he like runs, but he like he
runs to get receivers open. You know, he runs to
throw and he doesn't run to run. It's like, let's
like old school Joe Montana right there. Man. Yeah. He
also like the Instagram would you like to make a
(26:37):
thirst trap video for things? Uh? Does he have a girlfriend?

thousand if you hit it. Yea. So, so what I'm
gonna look at. I'm gonna look at Jalen or Hurts
to score the first touchdown in that game in the
NFC Championship, rushing touchdown. And then I'm gonna look at
(27:22):
Jamar Chase to score the first touchdown in the AFC Championship.
And then I'll throw in like a you know, Jamar
Chase over one hundred yards receiving, and then let's see
Jalen Hurts. I feel like you're just throwing things out now, group,
are you there? These are real These are real things.
