Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our n Bert too, our two
ready to go and where are you at? On Jerry
Jones giving votes of confidence to Dak Prescott and Mike McCarthy.
What's that all about after the loss of the forty
nine ers? Also, can you decode the messaging from Dion Sanders.
(00:25):
He commented on the state of the Cowboys as well,
and how are things looking for the Cleveland football team
and their quarterback room. With Deshaun Watson on the ropes
to play in the game this weekend against the Niners.
We'll talk about all that and more right now here.
It is our number two circling the wagons. Welme In
(00:49):
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malors Show.
We are in the air everywhere right next door as
weate the audio seas of knowledge and enlightenment unless we
don't coast to coast, border the order and beyond on
the mast and forcefully powerful microphones of FSR ammunating live

(01:41):
our lead this hour, coming from Dallas, I realized that
we spent a lot of time talking about the Cowboys,
but we're on the radio in Dallas and kind kind
of move the needle. Kind of moved the needle. So
Jerry Jones has given his weekly sermon State of the
Union address after the Cowboys were vaporized by the forty
(02:03):
nine ers and a made for TV matchup over the weekend.
If you didn't see this, perhaps not. Jerry Jones issued
votes of confidence, not a vote of no confidence. They
vote of confidence to both his coach and his quarterback
on his weekly radio show. And just to prove we
are not making this up, here is Jerry waxing poetic
(02:26):
about the brains and the quarterback of the Cowboy sticklas.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Do we have the quarterback?
Speaker 3 (02:32):
That?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
May be very affirmively, I completely believe that we have
the quarterback that can take us where we want to go.
Dak Prescott is a quarterback that can get us to
the super Bowl. That's the way that's going to be.
We have other quarterbacks on Matt roster and players that
certainly if something should happen to Dak, but I want
(02:52):
to be real clear, Dak's very capable of making this
team be where we want it to go.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
All right. And he also praised Mike McCarthy as well.
So listen, Jerry. At one point I heard the interview,
he said he is not panicked. Okay, so let us
discuss the question where are you at on Jerry Jones
giving the vote of confidence to Dak Prescott and Mike
McCarthy after getting run off the field by a much
(03:18):
better team. My observations, I've got nail polish, coastal Carolina,
and liquor cabinet, and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to make a wonderful
dinner of text mex. I don't know that Jerry likes
(03:40):
text mes. You know, he's from Oklahoma. I don't know
if it does the text Mex thing. So number w
Y Jerry Jones trying to tap dance. He's going to
tap dance around land mines here for the cowboys in
Jerry's world. Reserved reserved for radio purposes. Very good, right,
(04:01):
And trying to put that positivity out into the universe
there in the cosmos. But let's be honest here, we
know what's really going on behind closed doors here. Jerry
will not admit it right now because he doesn't want
anyone to think that he's not fully invested in this.
But that was a major reality check situation the Cowboys.
(04:23):
In Jerry's own words, that was a placement test. That
was a placement test, and you didn't pass. You don't
get to take it again. You failed the exam and
you're just not good enough. There's no ifs, hands or
butts about it. The standard was not met. And Jerry Jones,
because he's a carnival huckster and he's got a stammer
(04:45):
and stutter and all of that, that's the stick that
he has. He puts the ballerina shoes on and he
glides on his tippy toes. But to rephrase this, if
Jerry Jones believes truthfully, not what he says publicly, what
he actually believes in his heart of hearts, If he
believes that Dak Prescott is the one, he's on acid.
(05:06):
He's on an acid trip with visions of sugar plums
dancing in his head. Okay, you're not gonna find glory
hole with Dak Prescott. You're not. Dak is a stat bandito.
It's the equivalent of continuing to throw Dak out there
and say everything's fine, everything's fine. It's like putting nail
polish on a hangnail and saying they don't have a problem,
(05:27):
and I won't make some don't really work. Everything has
to be perfect for Dak. Now, under that set of guardrails,
anyone can get to a Super Bowl. And we've seen
inferior quarterbacks get to Super Bowls. They don't usually win
when they get there. Rex Grossman was the quarterback of
the Chicago Bears a year they got to the Super Bowl.
(05:48):
Jared Goff, who wasn't very good at the time with
the Rams, he was there when La got to a
super Bowl. We can go on on. There have been
other examples you can come up with. But in order
for that to work, here's what needs to go right.
All right, check all the boxes. Defense, elite, perfect special teams,
no mistakes, coaching, absolutely no turnovers, everyone catches the ball,
(06:09):
everyone runs, offensive line stays healthy. And also the opponent
must have a series of off days and major injuries.
If all of those things happened, Dak Prescott super Bowl quarterback.
If only a couple of those things don't happen, then
the same old song and dance for Dak Prescott. We've
seen how this plays out, We've seen the movie before.
(06:31):
We know how the script goes. It's not that hard now,
Page two. Dion Sanders, who last I checked, does not
work in the NFL, but he's good for ratings. So
he popped up on inside the NFL. I don't even
know what channel that's on this year. It's popped up
somewhere else. I don't know. Apparently it's still on the air,
(06:51):
but inside the NFL, which used to be a big
show back in the day, not anymore. But Dion must
have known someone on the show, so he popped up
there from Colorado. And he was asked about the Cowboy
forty nine er game, and he called out the Dallas
performance against the forty nine ers, and he didn't really
(07:11):
pull many punches. Take a listen to Deon Sanders. Let's
go to the audio tape. The Cowboys have guys.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
They're supposed to be dogs.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
The film. No, lie, I'd mean them. You remember when
we went to school and the.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Teacher called your name, you said here, Yeah, I need
you to say.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Here, all right, So he's having a fine time. So
d Code, here's the question on this one. From what
Deon said, D Code, the message from Dion Sanders on
the Cowboys. So here's what I took away from that
sound bite. Coach Prime going old school Coastal Carolina, be
(07:56):
a dog. We don't need no meAll, we don't need
no catch, we need more No, that's what he was doing.
That's one of the great quotes of all time. A
guy named David Bennett, who I don't think is coaching anymore,
but he was the guy at Coastal Carolina that went
on that epic rant. And how do you not show
up for that game? Like, I don't understand how you
(08:16):
don't show up for any a game. You only get
seventeen in the NFL during the regular season, so it
blows my mind. But it's human nature. People take days
off no matter what your job is. But still, this
is a game where everyone's watching, and all of your
contemporaries are checking it out, all your friends and family
are gonna watch that game. That's a game you don't
(08:38):
really put an honest effort in what happened to the
competitive spirit? Now? Prime also indirectly, and this is the
nuance on that SoundBite. When you say a team did
not show up, you're really calling out the coach. So
Prime is taking a shot at my Mike McCarthy, the
(09:01):
coach in Dallas. And what Prime is saying, He's implying
that the coach did not have his team ready to play.
The players didn't show up. That's on the head coach.
So is it true that Dion Sanders is looking to
usurp Mike McCarthy and replace him as head coach of
(09:22):
the Dallas Cowboys? Is that why he took a underhanded
shot at the rotund cowboy coach? Developing hot dot dot
dot Final point. Now we go to Cleveland. Why why not?
The Cleveland Browns are dealing with a quarterback dilemma ahead
(09:43):
of their Week six showdown with the perfectos from the
Bay Area, the forty nine Ers, that great System quarterback
Brock Party and the five and zero forty nine Ers. Now,
DeShawn Watson missed practice again this week. I know you're
very concerned about his right shoulder. The good news is
he knows plenty of people that will give him a
massage even when he's in the happy baby yoga pos so.
(10:06):
DeShawn was cleared to play two weeks ago against the Ravens.
He told his teammates he was going to play. He was,
as we said, cleared by the medical staff, and then
at the last minute, couple hours before the game, said
psych I'm not playing. No no, no, no, no no,
which upset a bunch of his teammates in Cleveland. And
now that was a big haul of baloo. The Browns
(10:28):
had a bye week last week, which means that I'm
told they didn't play, and we're also hearing that the
creepy quarterback possibly will miss the game on Sunday. It
certainly looks like that's going to be the case. The
Browns have pivoted to p J Walker former Carolina Panther
quarterback PJ Walker, and the news is that PJ Walker
(10:51):
would be activated from the practice squad. And the Browns
already have seen enough of former UCLA quarterback Dorian Tompson Robinson,
who was so bad when he barfed all over the
field that he will not get a do over should
Watson not be able to play this weekend against the
forty nine ers. So how are things looking for the
(11:14):
Cleveland football team in the quarterback room here? So this
is a Morton's fork situation. A Morton's fork situation that
is a choice between two equally unpleasant options. Right, you
have got Dorian Thompson Robinson, who need an oxygen because
hes suffocated, so he's out. You've got PJ. Walker, who
stinks but conceivably could be a game manager, and you
(11:37):
could try to win with defense and figure the forty
nine ers are going to be a little bit off
their game because typically after you win a big showcase game,
you don't put a masterpiece out the following week. But
either way, whether it's Walker or Dorian Thompson Robinson, the
Cleveland Brown fan is going to need the raid the
liquor cabinet. And they probably rather haven't out of PJ. Walker.
(12:01):
They'd rather have Johnny Walker Blue out there playing quarterback
for the Cleveland football team. Good luck, good because that's
absolutely reasonable. The Browns defense to I don't know, give
up twenty eight points to the forty nine ers. Do
you think that the forty nine ers are going to
allow a team led by PJ. Walker to put up
(12:23):
more than twenty eight points. Now, it is conceivable that
this could be the game that it all falls apart
for brock Purty and he has much interceptions and people
start questioning him saying, so you are told you so.
But that hasn't happened yet. Everyone's been saying it. Eventually
he will have a bad game. But I wouldn't go
gambling my money away betting that this is going to
(12:43):
be the weak that he has the bad game. Wouldn't
be doing that. Wouldn't advise that it is the Ben
Mallor Show. If you would like to be part, I
don't think we took a call last star. Yikes, all right,
but yeah, you can call up if you want. Maybe
we'll get you. Maybe we won't to Steve de Seger's

so when he's here, we just we just talked a

lot of bull crap. Anyway, you can be part of

It is the Ben mal short, a cowboy theme Malla monologue.
There to begin the hour, Jerry Jones giving a vote
of confidence. We also talked about the Cleveland Browns. Rory
(16:24):
says the Browns would be better off starting Brownie the
Elf at quarterback. Now. I'm upset because I have a
lot of hats. But years ago, when I used to
sell my NFL fan soul every year to the highest bidder, who.
Speaker 6 (16:37):
I recall, you would buy a new jersey every year.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
I did. I bought a new jersey, and then I
would buy a hat. That was my thing. And the
year that I became a Cleveland Browns fan, I had
the jersey and I had a listener actually sent the
hat and they found the ugliest hat they could find,
which was the Brownie the Elf hat. You didn't like that, No,
I liked it. But when I moved, and I've moved
(17:01):
a couple of times since then, it's been a long time, and.
Speaker 6 (17:03):
That's why you were underwater at one point.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Yes, I was underwater. Then I moved out to suburbia,
and now I've moved again, and I moved three times
that in that bit. But since I've moved so much,
that's one of the things that got lost in the all.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
So.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Yeah, it was such an ugly hat it had. It
was brown and orange, and it.
Speaker 6 (17:22):
Had well, those are the team colors.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
What are you expecting? Well, I know, but it had
the mask on there.
Speaker 6 (17:28):
Don't they have the elf on the field now?
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Well, yeah, now they do. But back then, I didn't
even know what this thing was. It was like a
monstros You look at all.
Speaker 6 (17:35):
The nineteen sixties football cards they put the elf in
the corner for the Cleveland Okay.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
But I didn't have nineteen sixties football cards to cigaret.
I didn't know what it was. I thought, this is
a gag gear. I'm not gonna why would I wear that?
But then it kind of grew on me. It was
it's like the mascot of the Flyers. It's so ugly
that it's like gretty. It was on you.
Speaker 6 (17:53):
Yeah, yeah, It's like when you brought up that the
Angels once had two Bears as maskots. I used to
go to the game games and did not remember that
were you at the game? Really made an impact.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Full disclosure. I've known Steve for my god, I don't
want to say how long I've known you, Steve.
Speaker 6 (18:08):
Since we were stealing oatmeal raisin cookies at the Ducks
press box before NHL games.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
It was a long time ago. And those sugar cookies
were really good too, like those sugar cookies.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
But they were so good. I remember a media member
taking a stack of seven cookies literally and ready to leave,
and the PR guy for the team literally stopped him
at the exit and said, we kind of need everybody
to have a cookie. Ye made him turn around.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Well at these NFL games though, to Sega, you've seen that.
I mean, it's a free for all there. They have
all you can well for you yeah, yeah, it's well
you're you know, you're doing the stats for the Chargers.
Speaker 6 (18:44):
But actually Sofi Stadium does not allow people who don't
have a seat to go in the press box at
all anymore.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Yeah, no, I know, is that right?
Speaker 6 (18:52):
That is correct? So, like when I saw you during
the preseason, that was my last visit, my last day.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
To the Oh they wouldn't let you.
Speaker 6 (18:58):
My seat is outside, is down the hall.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Oh well, I can get over to your side. Why
couldn't you get to my side?
Speaker 6 (19:05):
It literally says press box with a slash through it
on the credential. They won't let you through it. You
don't have a seat.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Yeah wow, Well that's why. Because I was allowed to
go where you guys were. They didn't have a problem
with that. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (19:17):
Yeah, nobody nobody cares where we are. Well, so you
got good food. That's why I think this is all
related to food. It's because, oh my goodness, not only
is Sofi Stadium where the Rams guy built the place.
Not only is the stadium itself palatial, the food is sensational.
It looks like a video Napkins and the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
When I go to Sofi, it looks like a video game.
I feel like it's not real. It's like some kind
of computer animation. It's so beautiful, it is, It's great.
So enjoy the food, is what I'm saying. So I
won't be able to see anymore.
Speaker 6 (19:49):
I got that charge. Not unless you're in the hallway,
Cowboy game. I'm supposed to be there Monday. Yes, I
just won't be in that room.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
I might be there Monday, but if I am there,
I'll have to I well, I wonder if they won't
let me where you are?
Speaker 6 (20:02):
And you know, I have been able to exit in
Englewood very well this year, unlike other seasons. I don't
know what's going on. The whole green light red light
situation still needs to be worked out by the city
of Englewood. It's as if they don't know they have
a stadium in their city and they haven't actually coordinated
the lights to get people out.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
It's just white. Probably what I meant to ask you
because you brought up the Angels and we used to
sit together at Angel games. That's when I first met
Steve back in the day. Yes, but were you out
of school? Were you at the game? This probably goes
back thirty years so long time ago. Were you at
the game? The Angels were playing a team called the
Cleveland Indians. I know that's for boten, but that's what
they were called long time ago. Yes, and the Cleveland
(20:40):
Indians had they had Albert Bell and Carlos by Erga
and all these great players.
Speaker 6 (20:45):
Oh, great team that decade, A really good team.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
They liked the top team in the American League and
it was a big game and the Angels actually had
a pretty good team that year, and some knucklehead climbed
the foul pole. Oh that's right, and delayed the game. Yes,
and that has been I've tried to find stories on
that and it's like, you can't find it anywhere. It's
hard to find details on it. And because it happened
so long ago, before the internet was really the Internet.
(21:09):
But it was one of the craziest things that nobody
knew what to do. The guy climbed the foul pole
and everyone's standing there, you know, you hold in there,
you know what They're like, I don't know what to do.
I mean, is he gonna climb up there and get
the guy down? And there was a big crowd, or
like what if we climb up there? What if the
guy falls down? You know, it was gonna witness this
guy killing himself. So they didn't know what to do.
Speaker 6 (21:26):
Not far from that, one Angel game, was it Charlie
Sheen bought out every seat in the left field stands.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Oh, yes, because was it? He wanted to Fiel.
Speaker 6 (21:36):
Wanted to get a home run, and yeah, he was
getting close to fifty Homers. I think that year he
brought his glove and was the only one sitting in
left field.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Had that work out?
Speaker 6 (21:46):
He did, not Homer. Yeah, but you know he hasn't
missed that money to say the least.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Yeah. Is he calmed down? Or was it ten fifteen
years ago he had that crazy just nutso period where
he's yeah yeah, Chip, the QS. Chip and the q's
writ that he says a plus monologue behind closed doors?
What did Jerry Jones get accused of unwanted groping and
grabbing by some woman? Again? Why doesn't he just hire
(22:15):
a professional? For gosh sakes? That's from Chip In the Ques,
Jason says that the Diamond Man says inside the NFL
was the reason I begged my parents to get HBO
back in the eighties. It was. It has since moved
to the c W. It's on the c W. Yes, yeah,
apparently it's on the c W.
Speaker 6 (22:33):
Gets a check your local listings.
Speaker 8 (22:35):
Oh my, there's college football in the c W now,
acc yeah, aw, what is the CW here in l A.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
I don't think k Channel five is the CW. How
far the Mighty.
Speaker 6 (22:48):
That's also a Clippers channel locally?
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Are the Clippers on Channel five of this day?
Speaker 6 (22:52):
They do have a few games, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Are they not on Bally's Sports.
Speaker 6 (22:56):
Some But I think it's like twenty or more are
on Channel five.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
By the way, isn't that odd that that's moving back
this SECA Like it's all going to regular TV again.
Speaker 6 (23:05):
Like the some of the local who's at the Suns
and somebody else have gone to local channels more. They
have no choice because of the regional network problems.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Well, yeah, my guys in San Diego Steve have pointed
out Steve that the Padre is one of the reasons.
The theory is the Podters are gonna have to unload
a couple of big money players. Is because their TV
deal fell apart and they're not They thought they had
a certain amount of revenue and they're not going to
have it because people funny enough want paying for Padre Baseball.
Speaker 6 (23:32):
Well, they sold out every game. They had a great,
great year of attendance, just not a great record, But
this tends to happen. When you give literally every free
as available a two hundred million dollars deal for.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
The next fifteen years, you're locked up.
Speaker 6 (23:46):
By the way, I don't want to skip your Clippers.
We mentioned the Ram Stadium across the street from there,
near La Airport. The Clippers are building their arena. They're
starting to put the roof.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Yes, it's the into it dome, and you will I
will be there. I will make sure I'm there, me
and Clipper Daryl to Christen the new ship, the toilet
clip christ and the toilets.
Speaker 6 (24:09):
It is one year away, is that correct?
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Yes, this is the last season for the Clippers at
that mausoleum in downtown LA, the heart of skid Row
where that arena is.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
Well, actually, the surrounding area of downtown LA is much
better since the Lakers slash La Kings built that place.
As you know, because didn't you park your car there
in the earthly day?
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Yes, I got my car broken into. Yes, Christmas you
remember that Christmas Day Lakers Blazers. I was at the game.
I go to my car. It was on funny enough
on Hope Street in downtown LA, where you hope your
car is there when you get back, And my car
was there. The window was smashed and a bunch of
(24:52):
stuff had been taken out of it. And then the
funniest part about that it was like a nineteen eighties comedy.
I took my car. I tried to find a cop.
It's Christmas Day. You know, there's not a lot of
cops working, and they really don't want to be bothered,
you know, they just want to get through the day.
And I don't blame them, but I needed to fill
out a police report, and so I tried to find
a like. I finally flagged one down and the guy's like, listen,
(25:12):
I don't have time for this. He hadn't told me
where this. He doesn't have time, he said, the police,
he said, no time for crime. He said the police
station was right there. He told me was a couple
of blocks away, and so okay, I was like, all right,
I'll go. And so I drove the cars in the
windows smashed right because they broke in the car. So
I then park right in front of the skid the
(25:34):
police station on skid Row, like literally right there in
skid row. So I parked. I go into the police
stations Christmas Day. There's nobody in the police station. It's
Christmas Day. But it was kind of a cool night,
cool evening. By the time the game had ended. The
Laker game with the blazer. So it was kind of
a cool night. There were a bunch of homeless people
out in front of police day.
Speaker 6 (25:53):
Yeah, so I'm not the case now.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
No, no, but he gets you there. So this this
was like there was a trash can and they had
started across the street. I'll never forget this. I can
close my eyes and see it. There was a trash
can and they had started a fire to kind of
warm up a little. It's like they thought they were
in Minnesota or something. It wasn't that cold, but they
had started a little fire to warm up. And then
so I got to the police station. I finally I
(26:15):
went to the desk and they're like, okay, I got
to go out and see the car to make sure,
you know whatever, it's true. So the cop comes out
with me. We go out to the I'm literally parked
in the front of the police station. The cop comes
out with the with me, and he's got a like
a clipboard to fill out the report. And there is
a homeless dude who's halfway in my car leaning in
(26:38):
to see if there's anything left take out of the car,
and the cops like screaming them get out of there.
So needless to say, my experience has not been been
the greatest with that.
Speaker 6 (26:51):
But yeah, it sounds odd, but for a city as
large as the Los Angeles, but LA downtown used to
shut down at five o'clock before anything like you know,
basketball or hockey.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
It was good for it has gotten worse though recently.
This is COVID all that. But anyway, all right, enough
of that, It is the Ben Malors Show as we
continue on through these late night hours that a grand
old timers.
Speaker 6 (27:16):
I just want to see a photo of the guy
halfway leaning into.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Your God, it was so good. I'm like, you gotta
be joking. I came out this no.
Speaker 6 (27:24):
Way, so I guess when it warmed up and the
trash cans weren't used anymore, then the astros got got
the extras.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
But I'm but I'm one, Yeah, there you go. But
I'm like, I'm trying to figure my head, like if
in La we're cold? Is what forty eight degrees is
cold in La?
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Like?
Speaker 1 (27:39):
What are they doing in Minnesota or Philadelphia? You know
somewhere it's at Boston we're talking football.
Speaker 6 (27:43):
Yeah, I guess right outside anymore, all right, anyway, enough.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
Of that, be sure to catch live editions of The

Speaker 1 (28:23):
Right, So, this is really cool. Bay City Tony. We
don't do shoutouts, but if we did, we'd give one
to BA City Tony. So Bay City Tony went back.
We told the story about the guy that climbed the
foulpole and he found he went through the newspaper archives
and found it. This happened Steve in nineteen ninety five.
Holy crap, that's a long time ago, and it was
in the La Times. They were forty three thousand peoples
(28:47):
a Tuesday night, angels and Indians, and the way this
was written was pretty good. Is the guy what's the
line here the human fly of Anaheim got as far
as the foul as far as the foul poles green
like thirty feet above the warning track. The crowd was
going wild, cheering as he went louder and louder, and
(29:07):
then he slid back down the pole batman style into
the waiting arms of two Burtley policemen. And that's pretty good.
I like that. Not seeing that good job.
Speaker 6 (29:18):
That was back in the era of the Pairwinkle uniforms. Roughly, yeah,
like a softball team.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Even today, that's a big card. Forty three thousand.
Speaker 6 (29:26):
Though for the Angels, Oh, absolutely it is.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Yeah, it is. A Ryan says it's forty nine degree.
Ryan's in Mane. He says, forty nine degrees right now.
And I'm wearing shorts headed to work. It's not pants
season until it's below twenty degrees for me for work. No,
I get it, I absolutely get it. All right, let's
see here, let's go to the phones, let's go to
let's say a lot to Eddie, who's in Charlotte. Will

Speaker 3 (30:08):
Hello everyone? How's everyone coming along?
Speaker 1 (30:11):
If I was any better, I would be a Dodger,
but not a Dodger starting pitcher, because they're the worst
in baseball history. But what do we have here? What
do we have on the agenda here? Eddie?
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Okay, this one here is in relation to the NFL,
and they call this what the brotherly shove with the
Toush push. Now, we've been having some injuries doing this play.
When the competition committy comes around next season, thumbs or
thumbs thumbs up or down? Are we keeping this play
(30:41):
all right?
Speaker 1 (30:41):
So we'll go around the room. Do round, robin. I'm
going two thumbs up. I witnessed the Toush push. I
was at the Rams Eagles game, and it's a wonderful play.
Everyone should be running it rather than ban it. Have
everyone run the play. I don't see what the problem is.
You didn't ban as one of my friends in the
TV show told me, they didn't ban this guy hook
because it was unstoppable. They shouldn't ban the touch push.
(31:03):
Originally I was like, band it, but now I'm keeping it,
Steve thumbs up, thumbs down.
Speaker 6 (31:07):
Thumbs keep it because they're the only ones that can
do it. So success Well that's.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Not the other team's doing it about eighty percent, which
is a really good success rate. Eighty percent. They're over
ninety percent. What about you? I was saying, thumbs up, thumbs.
Speaker 8 (31:19):
Down, thumbs up, keep it. Gotta get low. If you
want to stop them, gotta get low.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
I do that.
Speaker 8 (31:26):
Gotta get a little I.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Mean, listen.
Speaker 8 (31:27):
Yeah, it's just I don't there's nothing really illegal about
the play.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
I mean, it's not the most attractive play, but it
was when it was the bush push, it was illegal. Yeah, football,
Well cool? What about you? Cool? Thumbs up? All right? Next,
what's next? Eddy?
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
The NBA has instituted a few new rules this year.
One of them is the flopping rule. They say they're gonna,
you know, tighten up on that and the load management thing. Fellas,
is this here gonna make the NBA more entertained?
Speaker 1 (32:01):
No, no, because they're not gonna call flopping on Lebron
James because he's a Lebron James, right, they might do
it once or twice, so they're still gonna screw the
little guy and the superstar is gonna flop flop flop,
flop flop flop flop. And I don't believe the load
management thing because it's still it's still up to interpretation.
Are they going to hire a bunch of people that
are experts on on acting, you know, thespians come on.
(32:22):
So thumbs down on that, just Sager.
Speaker 6 (32:25):
Thumbs down. It will not make it more entertaining.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Yeah, it will not not the regular season? What about you, Iowa, Sam.
Speaker 8 (32:31):
This is thumbs up or down on flopping on the.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Rules, making the new rules, increasing the enjoyment of the NBA.
Speaker 6 (32:39):
Cracking down.
Speaker 8 (32:40):
I mean, I'm against flopping, So thumbs up on that.
Load management less load management, So thumbs up on that.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
But it's not all right. You didn't understand the question. Cope,
go ahead, that's okay.
Speaker 6 (32:51):
Lebron James never flops.
Speaker 7 (32:53):
Thumbs up.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Oh you didn't say that when he was in Cleveland
in Miami. What's next, Steady, what's next? Steddy?
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Okay, this is the last one.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Last one last. We'd like to under all the affiliates.
Last one. Here we go.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Okay, college playoffs is gonna be changed next season. Thumbs up,
the thumbs out. Do we really want it?
Speaker 2 (33:15):
You know?
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Yes, Well there's really only two. It's just gonna get
more Big ten and SEC teams, right, because those are
the only two conferences. So we're just gonna try to
try to squeeze more Big ten and SEC teams. But
I'll go I'm not I'm not tremendously accept I'll go
thumbs up the Seger.
Speaker 6 (33:30):
Absolute thumbs up because I want the top teams to
get a first round by.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Oh, you want to make it like baseball. Then they'll
complain it's not fair, it's not fair. What about you?
I was sam? Thumbs up to the moon, thumbs are up.
Speaker 8 (33:45):
Yes, do twenty fourteen playoffs?
Speaker 1 (33:47):
Cool? Thumbs up. All right, we're gonna have that. Good job, Eddie,
good job by you. I love the game. We need
to play the game more often. There's Eddie from Charlotte.
Love that game. It's a new game, and I have nothing,
I don't write any question and he just plays the
game all right. Time out for the instant trivia. Here
we go. DeAndre Hopkins is the fourth player in NFL
history to register a catch in each of his first
(34:08):
one hundred and fifty career games. He joins Pro Football
Hall of famers Marvin Harrison, Marshall Falk, as well as Blank.
That is the inst tribut the answer. We'll get to it,
We'll do it next.

Speaker 1 (34:48):
Yeah, see if I was so flustered by your appearance
here that I think I gave out yesterday's insta TRIBUTA
question again?
Speaker 6 (34:54):
Oh, I have a guess you want to.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
I can't believe I gave out yesterday's quiet shit. I've
never I don't think every mine. I uh, well, what
do you loans?
Speaker 6 (35:05):
Is this? Consecutive games with a reception to start the career, right.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he said it was actually Keishawn Johnson.
Really yeah.
Speaker 6 (35:15):
I would not have guessed that. I would I would
have guessed Harold Carmichael before Keishaw Johns.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Well, the good news is the bad news as I
fed up. The good news is because of that, we
can just get right to Mallard of the third degree.
So it worked out better that way. I don't know
what I was thinking.
Speaker 6 (35:29):
That's the first thing against you for the third degree.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
That is unreal that I did that. That is embarrassing.
All right. Anyway, well I get to it right now.
Speaker 6 (35:37):
Here happens when you skip the production meeting.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
I know, I know, all right, hit that button. It's Mallard.
How about that to the third degree?
Speaker 4 (35:47):
This is one gets grilled.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
Cool loop, go ahead, okay, you want to get yesterday's questions.
Speaker 7 (36:00):
Also, it is being reported that Tampa Bay manager Kevin
Cash is looking outside of Tampa for another team, most
notably the Cleveland Guardians.
Speaker 6 (36:11):
Ben are you buying this?
Speaker 1 (36:13):
I am buying it for financial reasons. Kevin Cash he
was part of Frankcona's staff. I believe he played in Clevelands.
So Cash, well, exactly, but I mean he's from like
northern Ohio. I mean he's lived there, so and plus,
even though the Cleveland baseball team doesn't spend a lot
of money, they spend more than the Rays. And so
(36:34):
at worst, he could probably squeeze some more money, some
more cash out of the team he's with Tampa, or
gets somebody else like the Mets need a manager. So
it's all about leverage, right. I was told the only
way to get more money just have somebody else want
to pay you more money. And it's maybe who you
work for now will pay you more money, all right,
So yes, I think there is something to it from
a financial perspective.
Speaker 7 (36:54):
Next, Michigan is pursuing a new contract for Jim Harbaugh
that would make him the highest paid coach in the
Big Ten? Ben, do you think Harbaugh finishes his career
with the Wolverines.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
So I've been consistent over this when you go back
over the years here, I know we used to have
a guy from Michigan, Rob in Vegas who went back
to Michigan and quit our show. But we've been very consistent.
I always said Harba was gonna Jim Harbaugh was gonna
go back to the NFL. It appears the Viking. He
thought he was getting the Vikings jobs a couple of
years ago. He assumed he was gonna get the gig
and it fell apart at the last minute, And that
(37:27):
he's really in a cross roads now because the more
time that has passed, the less likely he is to
get an NFL job. Harball is fifty nine. Jim Harbaugh's
fifty nine. That was the age, the same age Pete
Carroll left USC to coach the Seahawks. But if Jim
Harby's gonna be get Michigan for another five years or so,
they're gonna hire a Jim Harbaugh in his mid sixties.
(37:48):
Probably not so, But I still say he will coach
in the NFL. Why I'm stubborn next.
Speaker 7 (37:54):
Last week we talked about Christian McCaffrey as the favorite
for MVP, but now one of his teammates is getting
some support for his own MVP award. NBA player Tyrese
Halliburton tweeted out m V party in response to Brock's
game against the Cowboys. Ben, are you behind a party
for MVP movement?
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Well that as if. Tyrese Halliburton of the Indiana Pacers said,
this is going to be the NVP, then that's it.
Uh No, Listen, brock Perty is great. He's the greatest
system quarterback in the NFL right now. He's wonderful. But
he's also gonna split votes with Christian McCaffrey. Right, it's
the old thing. You're gonna split votes, so that becomes
a problem. It is going to be one of the
(38:32):
established quarterbacks like Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen somebody like
that will win the MVP Award. When it's all said
and done, how did we do? You pass? This edition
that is away? You can put on the ball. I
want the game.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
I want the game.
Hello and welcome. It's our n Bert too, our two
ready to go and where are you at? On Jerry
Jones giving votes of confidence to Dak Prescott and Mike McCarthy.
What's that all about after the loss of the forty
nine ers? Also, can you decode the messaging from Dion Sanders.
(00:25):
He commented on the state of the Cowboys as well,
and how are things looking for the Cleveland football team
and their quarterback room. With Deshaun Watson on the ropes
to play in the game this weekend against the Niners.
We'll talk about all that and more right now here.
It is our number two circling the wagons. Welme In
(00:49):
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malors Show.
We are in the air everywhere right next door as
weate the audio seas of knowledge and enlightenment unless we
don't coast to coast, border the order and beyond on
the mast and forcefully powerful microphones of FSR ammunating live
(01:15):
from the Pop Pop Fizz Fizz. Oh, what a relief
it is. It's the Ben Malin Show. We are broadcasting
live from the Tyraq dot com studios. Tyraq dot Com
will help you get there in unmatched selection, fast free shipping,
free road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommend an
installers tyraq dot com the way tire buying shoite in
(01:41):
our lead this hour, coming from Dallas, I realized that
we spent a lot of time talking about the Cowboys,
but we're on the radio in Dallas and kind kind
of move the needle. Kind of moved the needle. So
Jerry Jones has given his weekly sermon State of the
Union address after the Cowboys were vaporized by the forty
(02:03):
nine ers and a made for TV matchup over the weekend.
If you didn't see this, perhaps not. Jerry Jones issued
votes of confidence, not a vote of no confidence. They
vote of confidence to both his coach and his quarterback
on his weekly radio show. And just to prove we
are not making this up, here is Jerry waxing poetic
(02:26):
about the brains and the quarterback of the Cowboy sticklas.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Do we have the quarterback?
Speaker 3 (02:32):
That?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
May be very affirmively, I completely believe that we have
the quarterback that can take us where we want to go.
Dak Prescott is a quarterback that can get us to
the super Bowl. That's the way that's going to be.
We have other quarterbacks on Matt roster and players that
certainly if something should happen to Dak, but I want
(02:52):
to be real clear, Dak's very capable of making this
team be where we want it to go.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
All right. And he also praised Mike McCarthy as well.
So listen, Jerry. At one point I heard the interview,
he said he is not panicked. Okay, so let us
discuss the question where are you at on Jerry Jones
giving the vote of confidence to Dak Prescott and Mike
McCarthy after getting run off the field by a much
(03:18):
better team. My observations, I've got nail polish, coastal Carolina,
and liquor cabinet, and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to make a wonderful
dinner of text mex. I don't know that Jerry likes
(03:40):
text mes. You know, he's from Oklahoma. I don't know
if it does the text Mex thing. So number w
Y Jerry Jones trying to tap dance. He's going to
tap dance around land mines here for the cowboys in
Jerry's world. Reserved reserved for radio purposes. Very good, right,
(04:01):
And trying to put that positivity out into the universe
there in the cosmos. But let's be honest here, we
know what's really going on behind closed doors here. Jerry
will not admit it right now because he doesn't want
anyone to think that he's not fully invested in this.
But that was a major reality check situation the Cowboys.
(04:23):
In Jerry's own words, that was a placement test. That
was a placement test, and you didn't pass. You don't
get to take it again. You failed the exam and
you're just not good enough. There's no ifs, hands or
butts about it. The standard was not met. And Jerry Jones,
because he's a carnival huckster and he's got a stammer
(04:45):
and stutter and all of that, that's the stick that
he has. He puts the ballerina shoes on and he
glides on his tippy toes. But to rephrase this, if
Jerry Jones believes truthfully, not what he says publicly, what
he actually believes in his heart of hearts, If he
believes that Dak Prescott is the one, he's on acid.
(05:06):
He's on an acid trip with visions of sugar plums
dancing in his head. Okay, you're not gonna find glory
hole with Dak Prescott. You're not. Dak is a stat bandito.
It's the equivalent of continuing to throw Dak out there
and say everything's fine, everything's fine. It's like putting nail
polish on a hangnail and saying they don't have a problem,
(05:27):
and I won't make some don't really work. Everything has
to be perfect for Dak. Now, under that set of guardrails,
anyone can get to a Super Bowl. And we've seen
inferior quarterbacks get to Super Bowls. They don't usually win
when they get there. Rex Grossman was the quarterback of
the Chicago Bears a year they got to the Super Bowl.
(05:48):
Jared Goff, who wasn't very good at the time with
the Rams, he was there when La got to a
super Bowl. We can go on on. There have been
other examples you can come up with. But in order
for that to work, here's what needs to go right.
All right, check all the boxes. Defense, elite, perfect special teams,
no mistakes, coaching, absolutely no turnovers, everyone catches the ball,
(06:09):
everyone runs, offensive line stays healthy. And also the opponent
must have a series of off days and major injuries.
If all of those things happened, Dak Prescott super Bowl quarterback.
If only a couple of those things don't happen, then
the same old song and dance for Dak Prescott. We've
seen how this plays out, We've seen the movie before.
(06:31):
We know how the script goes. It's not that hard now,
Page two. Dion Sanders, who last I checked, does not
work in the NFL, but he's good for ratings. So
he popped up on inside the NFL. I don't even
know what channel that's on this year. It's popped up
somewhere else. I don't know. Apparently it's still on the air,
(06:51):
but inside the NFL, which used to be a big
show back in the day, not anymore. But Dion must
have known someone on the show, so he popped up
there from Colorado. And he was asked about the Cowboy
forty nine er game, and he called out the Dallas
performance against the forty nine ers, and he didn't really
(07:11):
pull many punches. Take a listen to Deon Sanders. Let's
go to the audio tape. The Cowboys have guys.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
They're supposed to be dogs.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
The film. No, lie, I'd mean them. You remember when
we went to school and the.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Teacher called your name, you said here, Yeah, I need
you to say.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Here, all right, So he's having a fine time. So
d Code, here's the question on this one. From what
Deon said, D Code, the message from Dion Sanders on
the Cowboys. So here's what I took away from that
sound bite. Coach Prime going old school Coastal Carolina, be
(07:56):
a dog. We don't need no meAll, we don't need
no catch, we need more No, that's what he was doing.
That's one of the great quotes of all time. A
guy named David Bennett, who I don't think is coaching anymore,
but he was the guy at Coastal Carolina that went
on that epic rant. And how do you not show
up for that game? Like, I don't understand how you
(08:16):
don't show up for any a game. You only get
seventeen in the NFL during the regular season, so it
blows my mind. But it's human nature. People take days
off no matter what your job is. But still, this
is a game where everyone's watching, and all of your
contemporaries are checking it out, all your friends and family
are gonna watch that game. That's a game you don't
(08:38):
really put an honest effort in what happened to the
competitive spirit? Now? Prime also indirectly, and this is the
nuance on that SoundBite. When you say a team did
not show up, you're really calling out the coach. So
Prime is taking a shot at my Mike McCarthy, the
(09:01):
coach in Dallas. And what Prime is saying, He's implying
that the coach did not have his team ready to play.
The players didn't show up. That's on the head coach.
So is it true that Dion Sanders is looking to
usurp Mike McCarthy and replace him as head coach of
(09:22):
the Dallas Cowboys? Is that why he took a underhanded
shot at the rotund cowboy coach? Developing hot dot dot
dot Final point. Now we go to Cleveland. Why why not?
The Cleveland Browns are dealing with a quarterback dilemma ahead
(09:43):
of their Week six showdown with the perfectos from the
Bay Area, the forty nine Ers, that great System quarterback
Brock Party and the five and zero forty nine Ers. Now,
DeShawn Watson missed practice again this week. I know you're
very concerned about his right shoulder. The good news is
he knows plenty of people that will give him a
massage even when he's in the happy baby yoga pos so.
(10:06):
DeShawn was cleared to play two weeks ago against the Ravens.
He told his teammates he was going to play. He was,
as we said, cleared by the medical staff, and then
at the last minute, couple hours before the game, said
psych I'm not playing. No no, no, no, no no,
which upset a bunch of his teammates in Cleveland. And
now that was a big haul of baloo. The Browns
(10:28):
had a bye week last week, which means that I'm
told they didn't play, and we're also hearing that the
creepy quarterback possibly will miss the game on Sunday. It
certainly looks like that's going to be the case. The
Browns have pivoted to p J Walker former Carolina Panther
quarterback PJ Walker, and the news is that PJ Walker
(10:51):
would be activated from the practice squad. And the Browns
already have seen enough of former UCLA quarterback Dorian Tompson Robinson,
who was so bad when he barfed all over the
field that he will not get a do over should
Watson not be able to play this weekend against the
forty nine ers. So how are things looking for the
(11:14):
Cleveland football team in the quarterback room here? So this
is a Morton's fork situation. A Morton's fork situation that
is a choice between two equally unpleasant options. Right, you
have got Dorian Thompson Robinson, who need an oxygen because
hes suffocated, so he's out. You've got PJ. Walker, who
stinks but conceivably could be a game manager, and you
(11:37):
could try to win with defense and figure the forty
nine ers are going to be a little bit off
their game because typically after you win a big showcase game,
you don't put a masterpiece out the following week. But
either way, whether it's Walker or Dorian Thompson Robinson, the
Cleveland Brown fan is going to need the raid the
liquor cabinet. And they probably rather haven't out of PJ. Walker.
(12:01):
They'd rather have Johnny Walker Blue out there playing quarterback
for the Cleveland football team. Good luck, good because that's
absolutely reasonable. The Browns defense to I don't know, give
up twenty eight points to the forty nine ers. Do
you think that the forty nine ers are going to
allow a team led by PJ. Walker to put up
(12:23):
more than twenty eight points. Now, it is conceivable that
this could be the game that it all falls apart
for brock Purty and he has much interceptions and people
start questioning him saying, so you are told you so.
But that hasn't happened yet. Everyone's been saying it. Eventually
he will have a bad game. But I wouldn't go
gambling my money away betting that this is going to
(12:43):
be the weak that he has the bad game. Wouldn't
be doing that. Wouldn't advise that it is the Ben
Mallor Show. If you would like to be part, I
don't think we took a call last star. Yikes, all right,
but yeah, you can call up if you want. Maybe
we'll get you. Maybe we won't to Steve de Seger's

Speaker 6 (15:12):
This is a toe tapper.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Yeah, this is great little duet. It's great, wonderful job.
It was a production by I believe this one if
I am I not mistaken here cool. I think this
one came from let me see you think here was
this from the Ambassador. This is from Tammy and the
Ambassador right, Oh yeah, Rod, Yeah yah Rod and Baker's
(15:35):
Field and Tammy Montana. Oh and uh we yeah. We

in Minnesota for a while a guy that quit the band,
but he quit the show so he doesn't make music
for us anymore. But yeah, we got some guys that are.
Speaker 7 (15:57):
The sound of Mallard is one of my favorites.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Like that all right, I like them all. I think
they're all great. I'm flattered. I'm honored that people have
taken the time out to write those and go into
music studios and record them. It's really, really, really cool.
It is the Ben mal short, a cowboy theme Malla monologue.
There to begin the hour, Jerry Jones giving a vote
of confidence. We also talked about the Cleveland Browns. Rory
(16:24):
says the Browns would be better off starting Brownie the
Elf at quarterback. Now. I'm upset because I have a
lot of hats. But years ago, when I used to
sell my NFL fan soul every year to the highest bidder, who.
Speaker 6 (16:37):
I recall, you would buy a new jersey every year.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
I did. I bought a new jersey, and then I
would buy a hat. That was my thing. And the
year that I became a Cleveland Browns fan, I had
the jersey and I had a listener actually sent the
hat and they found the ugliest hat they could find,
which was the Brownie the Elf hat. You didn't like that, No,
I liked it. But when I moved, and I've moved
(17:01):
a couple of times since then, it's been a long time, and.
Speaker 6 (17:03):
That's why you were underwater at one point.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Yes, I was underwater. Then I moved out to suburbia,
and now I've moved again, and I moved three times
that in that bit. But since I've moved so much,
that's one of the things that got lost in the all.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
So.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Yeah, it was such an ugly hat it had. It
was brown and orange, and it.
Speaker 6 (17:22):
Had well, those are the team colors.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
What are you expecting? Well, I know, but it had
the mask on there.
Speaker 6 (17:28):
Don't they have the elf on the field now?
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Well, yeah, now they do. But back then, I didn't
even know what this thing was. It was like a
monstros You look at all.
Speaker 6 (17:35):
The nineteen sixties football cards they put the elf in
the corner for the Cleveland Okay.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
But I didn't have nineteen sixties football cards to cigaret.
I didn't know what it was. I thought, this is
a gag gear. I'm not gonna why would I wear that?
But then it kind of grew on me. It was
it's like the mascot of the Flyers. It's so ugly
that it's like gretty. It was on you.
Speaker 6 (17:53):
Yeah, yeah, It's like when you brought up that the
Angels once had two Bears as maskots. I used to
go to the game games and did not remember that
were you at the game? Really made an impact.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Full disclosure. I've known Steve for my god, I don't
want to say how long I've known you, Steve.
Speaker 6 (18:08):
Since we were stealing oatmeal raisin cookies at the Ducks
press box before NHL games.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
It was a long time ago. And those sugar cookies
were really good too, like those sugar cookies.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
But they were so good. I remember a media member
taking a stack of seven cookies literally and ready to leave,
and the PR guy for the team literally stopped him
at the exit and said, we kind of need everybody
to have a cookie. Ye made him turn around.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Well at these NFL games though, to Sega, you've seen that.
I mean, it's a free for all there. They have
all you can well for you yeah, yeah, it's well
you're you know, you're doing the stats for the Chargers.
Speaker 6 (18:44):
But actually Sofi Stadium does not allow people who don't
have a seat to go in the press box at
all anymore.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Yeah, no, I know, is that right?
Speaker 6 (18:52):
That is correct? So, like when I saw you during
the preseason, that was my last visit, my last day.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
To the Oh they wouldn't let you.
Speaker 6 (18:58):
My seat is outside, is down the hall.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Oh well, I can get over to your side. Why
couldn't you get to my side?
Speaker 6 (19:05):
It literally says press box with a slash through it
on the credential. They won't let you through it. You
don't have a seat.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Yeah wow, Well that's why. Because I was allowed to
go where you guys were. They didn't have a problem
with that. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (19:17):
Yeah, nobody nobody cares where we are. Well, so you
got good food. That's why I think this is all
related to food. It's because, oh my goodness, not only
is Sofi Stadium where the Rams guy built the place.
Not only is the stadium itself palatial, the food is sensational.
It looks like a video Napkins and the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
When I go to Sofi, it looks like a video game.
I feel like it's not real. It's like some kind
of computer animation. It's so beautiful, it is, It's great.
So enjoy the food, is what I'm saying. So I
won't be able to see anymore.
Speaker 6 (19:49):
I got that charge. Not unless you're in the hallway,
Cowboy game. I'm supposed to be there Monday. Yes, I
just won't be in that room.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
I might be there Monday, but if I am there,
I'll have to I well, I wonder if they won't
let me where you are?
Speaker 6 (20:02):
And you know, I have been able to exit in
Englewood very well this year, unlike other seasons. I don't
know what's going on. The whole green light red light
situation still needs to be worked out by the city
of Englewood. It's as if they don't know they have
a stadium in their city and they haven't actually coordinated
the lights to get people out.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
It's just white. Probably what I meant to ask you
because you brought up the Angels and we used to
sit together at Angel games. That's when I first met
Steve back in the day. Yes, but were you out
of school? Were you at the game? This probably goes
back thirty years so long time ago. Were you at
the game? The Angels were playing a team called the
Cleveland Indians. I know that's for boten, but that's what
they were called long time ago. Yes, and the Cleveland
(20:40):
Indians had they had Albert Bell and Carlos by Erga
and all these great players.
Speaker 6 (20:45):
Oh, great team that decade, A really good team.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
They liked the top team in the American League and
it was a big game and the Angels actually had
a pretty good team that year, and some knucklehead climbed
the foul pole. Oh that's right, and delayed the game. Yes,
and that has been I've tried to find stories on
that and it's like, you can't find it anywhere. It's
hard to find details on it. And because it happened
so long ago, before the internet was really the Internet.
(21:09):
But it was one of the craziest things that nobody
knew what to do. The guy climbed the foul pole
and everyone's standing there, you know, you hold in there,
you know what They're like, I don't know what to do.
I mean, is he gonna climb up there and get
the guy down? And there was a big crowd, or
like what if we climb up there? What if the
guy falls down? You know, it was gonna witness this
guy killing himself. So they didn't know what to do.
Speaker 6 (21:26):
Not far from that, one Angel game, was it Charlie
Sheen bought out every seat in the left field stands.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Oh, yes, because was it? He wanted to Fiel.
Speaker 6 (21:36):
Wanted to get a home run, and yeah, he was
getting close to fifty Homers. I think that year he
brought his glove and was the only one sitting in
left field.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Had that work out?
Speaker 6 (21:46):
He did, not Homer. Yeah, but you know he hasn't
missed that money to say the least.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Yeah. Is he calmed down? Or was it ten fifteen
years ago he had that crazy just nutso period where
he's yeah yeah, Chip, the QS. Chip and the q's
writ that he says a plus monologue behind closed doors?
What did Jerry Jones get accused of unwanted groping and
grabbing by some woman? Again? Why doesn't he just hire
(22:15):
a professional? For gosh sakes? That's from Chip In the Ques,
Jason says that the Diamond Man says inside the NFL
was the reason I begged my parents to get HBO
back in the eighties. It was. It has since moved
to the c W. It's on the c W. Yes, yeah,
apparently it's on the c W.
Speaker 6 (22:33):
Gets a check your local listings.
Speaker 8 (22:35):
Oh my, there's college football in the c W now,
acc yeah, aw, what is the CW here in l A.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
I don't think k Channel five is the CW. How
far the Mighty.
Speaker 6 (22:48):
That's also a Clippers channel locally?
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Are the Clippers on Channel five of this day?
Speaker 6 (22:52):
They do have a few games, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Are they not on Bally's Sports.
Speaker 6 (22:56):
Some But I think it's like twenty or more are
on Channel five.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
By the way, isn't that odd that that's moving back
this SECA Like it's all going to regular TV again.
Speaker 6 (23:05):
Like the some of the local who's at the Suns
and somebody else have gone to local channels more. They
have no choice because of the regional network problems.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Well, yeah, my guys in San Diego Steve have pointed
out Steve that the Padre is one of the reasons.
The theory is the Podters are gonna have to unload
a couple of big money players. Is because their TV
deal fell apart and they're not They thought they had
a certain amount of revenue and they're not going to
have it because people funny enough want paying for Padre Baseball.
Speaker 6 (23:32):
Well, they sold out every game. They had a great,
great year of attendance, just not a great record, But
this tends to happen. When you give literally every free
as available a two hundred million dollars deal for.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
The next fifteen years, you're locked up.
Speaker 6 (23:46):
By the way, I don't want to skip your Clippers.
We mentioned the Ram Stadium across the street from there,
near La Airport. The Clippers are building their arena. They're
starting to put the roof.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Yes, it's the into it dome, and you will I
will be there. I will make sure I'm there, me
and Clipper Daryl to Christen the new ship, the toilet
clip christ and the toilets.
Speaker 6 (24:09):
It is one year away, is that correct?
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Yes, this is the last season for the Clippers at
that mausoleum in downtown LA, the heart of skid Row
where that arena is.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
Well, actually, the surrounding area of downtown LA is much
better since the Lakers slash La Kings built that place.
As you know, because didn't you park your car there
in the earthly day?
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Yes, I got my car broken into. Yes, Christmas you
remember that Christmas Day Lakers Blazers. I was at the game.
I go to my car. It was on funny enough
on Hope Street in downtown LA, where you hope your
car is there when you get back, And my car
was there. The window was smashed and a bunch of
(24:52):
stuff had been taken out of it. And then the
funniest part about that it was like a nineteen eighties comedy.
I took my car. I tried to find a cop.
It's Christmas Day. You know, there's not a lot of
cops working, and they really don't want to be bothered,
you know, they just want to get through the day.
And I don't blame them, but I needed to fill
out a police report, and so I tried to find
a like. I finally flagged one down and the guy's like, listen,
(25:12):
I don't have time for this. He hadn't told me
where this. He doesn't have time, he said, the police,
he said, no time for crime. He said the police
station was right there. He told me was a couple
of blocks away, and so okay, I was like, all right,
I'll go. And so I drove the cars in the
windows smashed right because they broke in the car. So
I then park right in front of the skid the
(25:34):
police station on skid Row, like literally right there in
skid row. So I parked. I go into the police
stations Christmas Day. There's nobody in the police station. It's
Christmas Day. But it was kind of a cool night,
cool evening. By the time the game had ended. The
Laker game with the blazer. So it was kind of
a cool night. There were a bunch of homeless people
out in front of police day.
Speaker 6 (25:53):
Yeah, so I'm not the case now.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
No, no, but he gets you there. So this this
was like there was a trash can and they had
started across the street. I'll never forget this. I can
close my eyes and see it. There was a trash
can and they had started a fire to kind of
warm up a little. It's like they thought they were
in Minnesota or something. It wasn't that cold, but they
had started a little fire to warm up. And then
so I got to the police station. I finally I
(26:15):
went to the desk and they're like, okay, I got
to go out and see the car to make sure,
you know whatever, it's true. So the cop comes out
with me. We go out to the I'm literally parked
in the front of the police station. The cop comes
out with the with me, and he's got a like
a clipboard to fill out the report. And there is
a homeless dude who's halfway in my car leaning in
(26:38):
to see if there's anything left take out of the car,
and the cops like screaming them get out of there.
So needless to say, my experience has not been been
the greatest with that.
Speaker 6 (26:51):
But yeah, it sounds odd, but for a city as
large as the Los Angeles, but LA downtown used to
shut down at five o'clock before anything like you know,
basketball or hockey.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
It was good for it has gotten worse though recently.
This is COVID all that. But anyway, all right, enough
of that, It is the Ben Malors Show as we
continue on through these late night hours that a grand
old timers.
Speaker 6 (27:16):
I just want to see a photo of the guy
halfway leaning into.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Your God, it was so good. I'm like, you gotta
be joking. I came out this no.
Speaker 6 (27:24):
Way, so I guess when it warmed up and the
trash cans weren't used anymore, then the astros got got
the extras.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
But I'm but I'm one, Yeah, there you go. But
I'm like, I'm trying to figure my head, like if
in La we're cold? Is what forty eight degrees is
cold in La?
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Like?
Speaker 1 (27:39):
What are they doing in Minnesota or Philadelphia? You know
somewhere it's at Boston we're talking football.
Speaker 6 (27:43):
Yeah, I guess right outside anymore, all right, anyway, enough.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
Of that, be sure to catch live editions of The
Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
Right, So, this is really cool. Bay City Tony. We
don't do shoutouts, but if we did, we'd give one
to BA City Tony. So Bay City Tony went back.
We told the story about the guy that climbed the
foulpole and he found he went through the newspaper archives
and found it. This happened Steve in nineteen ninety five.
Holy crap, that's a long time ago, and it was
in the La Times. They were forty three thousand peoples
(28:47):
a Tuesday night, angels and Indians, and the way this
was written was pretty good. Is the guy what's the
line here the human fly of Anaheim got as far
as the foul as far as the foul poles green
like thirty feet above the warning track. The crowd was
going wild, cheering as he went louder and louder, and
(29:07):
then he slid back down the pole batman style into
the waiting arms of two Burtley policemen. And that's pretty good.
I like that. Not seeing that good job.
Speaker 6 (29:18):
That was back in the era of the Pairwinkle uniforms. Roughly, yeah,
like a softball team.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Even today, that's a big card. Forty three thousand.
Speaker 6 (29:26):
Though for the Angels, Oh, absolutely it is.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Yeah, it is. A Ryan says it's forty nine degree.
Ryan's in Mane. He says, forty nine degrees right now.
And I'm wearing shorts headed to work. It's not pants
season until it's below twenty degrees for me for work. No,
I get it, I absolutely get it. All right, let's
see here, let's go to the phones, let's go to

Speaker 3 (30:08):
Hello everyone? How's everyone coming along?
Speaker 1 (30:11):
If I was any better, I would be a Dodger,
but not a Dodger starting pitcher, because they're the worst
in baseball history. But what do we have here? What
do we have on the agenda here? Eddie?
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Okay, this one here is in relation to the NFL,
and they call this what the brotherly shove with the
Toush push. Now, we've been having some injuries doing this play.
When the competition committy comes around next season, thumbs or
thumbs thumbs up or down? Are we keeping this play
(30:41):
all right?
Speaker 1 (30:41):
So we'll go around the room. Do round, robin. I'm
going two thumbs up. I witnessed the Toush push. I
was at the Rams Eagles game, and it's a wonderful play.
Everyone should be running it rather than ban it. Have
everyone run the play. I don't see what the problem is.
You didn't ban as one of my friends in the
TV show told me, they didn't ban this guy hook
because it was unstoppable. They shouldn't ban the touch push.
(31:03):
Originally I was like, band it, but now I'm keeping it,
Steve thumbs up, thumbs down.
Speaker 6 (31:07):
Thumbs keep it because they're the only ones that can
do it. So success Well that's.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Not the other team's doing it about eighty percent, which
is a really good success rate. Eighty percent. They're over
ninety percent. What about you? I was saying, thumbs up, thumbs.
Speaker 8 (31:19):
Down, thumbs up, keep it. Gotta get low. If you
want to stop them, gotta get low.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
I do that.
Speaker 8 (31:26):
Gotta get a little I.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Mean, listen.
Speaker 8 (31:27):
Yeah, it's just I don't there's nothing really illegal about
the play.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
I mean, it's not the most attractive play, but it
was when it was the bush push, it was illegal. Yeah, football,
Well cool? What about you? Cool? Thumbs up? All right? Next,
what's next? Eddy?
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
The NBA has instituted a few new rules this year.
One of them is the flopping rule. They say they're gonna,
you know, tighten up on that and the load management thing. Fellas,
is this here gonna make the NBA more entertained?
Speaker 1 (32:01):
No, no, because they're not gonna call flopping on Lebron
James because he's a Lebron James, right, they might do
it once or twice, so they're still gonna screw the
little guy and the superstar is gonna flop flop flop,
flop flop flop flop. And I don't believe the load
management thing because it's still it's still up to interpretation.
Are they going to hire a bunch of people that
are experts on on acting, you know, thespians come on.
(32:22):
So thumbs down on that, just Sager.
Speaker 6 (32:25):
Thumbs down. It will not make it more entertaining.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Yeah, it will not not the regular season? What about you, Iowa, Sam.
Speaker 8 (32:31):
This is thumbs up or down on flopping on the.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Rules, making the new rules, increasing the enjoyment of the NBA.
Speaker 6 (32:39):
Cracking down.
Speaker 8 (32:40):
I mean, I'm against flopping, So thumbs up on that.
Load management less load management, So thumbs up on that.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
But it's not all right. You didn't understand the question. Cope,
go ahead, that's okay.
Speaker 6 (32:51):
Lebron James never flops.
Speaker 7 (32:53):
Thumbs up.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Oh you didn't say that when he was in Cleveland
in Miami. What's next, Steady, what's next? Steddy?
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Okay, this is the last one.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Last one last. We'd like to under all the affiliates.
Last one. Here we go.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Okay, college playoffs is gonna be changed next season. Thumbs up,
the thumbs out. Do we really want it?
Speaker 2 (33:15):
You know?
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Yes, Well there's really only two. It's just gonna get
more Big ten and SEC teams, right, because those are
the only two conferences. So we're just gonna try to
try to squeeze more Big ten and SEC teams. But
I'll go I'm not I'm not tremendously accept I'll go
thumbs up the Seger.
Speaker 6 (33:30):
Absolute thumbs up because I want the top teams to
get a first round by.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Oh, you want to make it like baseball. Then they'll
complain it's not fair, it's not fair. What about you?
I was sam? Thumbs up to the moon, thumbs are up.
Speaker 8 (33:45):
Yes, do twenty fourteen playoffs?
Speaker 1 (33:47):
Cool? Thumbs up. All right, we're gonna have that. Good job, Eddie,
good job by you. I love the game. We need
to play the game more often. There's Eddie from Charlotte.
Love that game. It's a new game, and I have nothing,
I don't write any question and he just plays the
game all right. Time out for the instant trivia. Here
we go. DeAndre Hopkins is the fourth player in NFL
history to register a catch in each of his first
(34:08):
one hundred and fifty career games. He joins Pro Football
Hall of famers Marvin Harrison, Marshall Falk, as well as Blank.
That is the inst tribut the answer. We'll get to it,
We'll do it next.

Speaker 1 (34:48):
Yeah, see if I was so flustered by your appearance
here that I think I gave out yesterday's insta TRIBUTA
question again?
Speaker 6 (34:54):
Oh, I have a guess you want to.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
I can't believe I gave out yesterday's quiet shit. I've
never I don't think every mine. I uh, well, what
do you loans?
Speaker 6 (35:05):
Is this? Consecutive games with a reception to start the career, right.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he said it was actually Keishawn Johnson.
Really yeah.
Speaker 6 (35:15):
I would not have guessed that. I would I would
have guessed Harold Carmichael before Keishaw Johns.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Well, the good news is the bad news as I
fed up. The good news is because of that, we
can just get right to Mallard of the third degree.
So it worked out better that way. I don't know
what I was thinking.
Speaker 6 (35:29):
That's the first thing against you for the third degree.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
That is unreal that I did that. That is embarrassing.
All right. Anyway, well I get to it right now.
Speaker 6 (35:37):
Here happens when you skip the production meeting.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
I know, I know, all right, hit that button. It's Mallard.
How about that to the third degree?
Speaker 4 (35:47):
This is one gets grilled.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
Cool loop, go ahead, okay, you want to get yesterday's questions.
Speaker 7 (36:00):
Also, it is being reported that Tampa Bay manager Kevin
Cash is looking outside of Tampa for another team, most
notably the Cleveland Guardians.
Speaker 6 (36:11):
Ben are you buying this?
Speaker 1 (36:13):
I am buying it for financial reasons. Kevin Cash he
was part of Frankcona's staff. I believe he played in Clevelands.
So Cash, well, exactly, but I mean he's from like
northern Ohio. I mean he's lived there, so and plus,
even though the Cleveland baseball team doesn't spend a lot
of money, they spend more than the Rays. And so
(36:34):
at worst, he could probably squeeze some more money, some
more cash out of the team he's with Tampa, or
gets somebody else like the Mets need a manager. So
it's all about leverage, right. I was told the only
way to get more money just have somebody else want
to pay you more money. And it's maybe who you
work for now will pay you more money, all right,
So yes, I think there is something to it from
a financial perspective.
Speaker 7 (36:54):
Next, Michigan is pursuing a new contract for Jim Harbaugh
that would make him the highest paid coach in the
Big Ten? Ben, do you think Harbaugh finishes his career
with the Wolverines.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
So I've been consistent over this when you go back
over the years here, I know we used to have
a guy from Michigan, Rob in Vegas who went back
to Michigan and quit our show. But we've been very consistent.
I always said Harba was gonna Jim Harbaugh was gonna
go back to the NFL. It appears the Viking. He
thought he was getting the Vikings jobs a couple of
years ago. He assumed he was gonna get the gig
and it fell apart at the last minute, And that
(37:27):
he's really in a cross roads now because the more
time that has passed, the less likely he is to
get an NFL job. Harball is fifty nine. Jim Harbaugh's
fifty nine. That was the age, the same age Pete
Carroll left USC to coach the Seahawks. But if Jim
Harby's gonna be get Michigan for another five years or so,
they're gonna hire a Jim Harbaugh in his mid sixties.
(37:48):
Probably not so, But I still say he will coach
in the NFL. Why I'm stubborn next.
Speaker 7 (37:54):
Last week we talked about Christian McCaffrey as the favorite
for MVP, but now one of his teammates is getting
some support for his own MVP award. NBA player Tyrese
Halliburton tweeted out m V party in response to Brock's
game against the Cowboys. Ben, are you behind a party
for MVP movement?
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Well that as if. Tyrese Halliburton of the Indiana Pacers said,
this is going to be the NVP, then that's it.
Uh No, Listen, brock Perty is great. He's the greatest
system quarterback in the NFL right now. He's wonderful. But
he's also gonna split votes with Christian McCaffrey. Right, it's
the old thing. You're gonna split votes, so that becomes
a problem. It is going to be one of the
(38:32):
established quarterbacks like Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen somebody like
that will win the MVP Award. When it's all said
and done, how did we do? You pass? This edition
that is away? You can put on the ball. I
want the game.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
I want the game.
