important of all, I got a TV show, and I

So check out Benny Versus the Penny here in our
number one talking foot Ball pick, we got right Jacksonville, Right,
(01:30):
Jacksonville beating the Saints. How do you digest Derek Carr's
lousy performance for the New Orleans football team? Are things
looking up or down for the Saints after the first
seven weeks of the season, And how are things for
Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars at this point as they
had a big lead and needed a late touchdown to
(01:51):
beat the Saints. We'll talk about all that and more
right now, give it up for our number one your
drive being a Galopi, You're driving a Jalopy. Well come,

Tyreckt the Way Tire Buying Show.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Bete.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
So I had an editorial decision to make and win
in doubt, go with football now. I love baseball. I'm
a baseball guy. I like baseball. We have plenty of time.
We got a blank canvas here to fill in pain,
a mosaic, a Bob Ross landscape, painting, four hours of
(03:27):
gibberish blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah,
the universal language of the sporting world. And so our
lead this hour coming from the Big Easy where it
was anything but easy, some Southern Fried football NFL style.
Al Michaels and Herbie. They were hanging out and the
(03:49):
Bayou watching a couple of teams that, let's face it,
don't really move the needle. The New Orleans Saints and
the Jaguars. Now probably watch this game. Maybe you didn't
watch the game. I don't know what's going on with you.
I can't I can't know for sure, So if by
chance you missed it, we had multiple televisions going.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Now.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
The good news is the baseball wasn't that good. The
late baseball game was garbage. The Devil Incarnate won the
late baseball game, and it was pretty much over midway through,
so we were just able to really focus in on
the football's Trevor Lawrence fighting Christian Kirk on a forty
four yard pitch and catch, touchdown, throw and run with
(04:34):
a little over three minutes left, and Jacksonville held on
by the skin on their chinny chin chin as. They
really just waited for New Orleans to destruct at the end,
and that's exactly what the Saints did. Bad teams find
ways to lose. That's what New Orleans did. Thirty one
to twenty four Jacksonville in the winner circle, they win
the game. The Saints failing to convert with a chance
(04:56):
to tie the game in the final seconds, they turned
the ball over on downs at the Jacksonville six yard line,
and so the Jags improved a five and two. That's
a very good record, considering a little shaky at the
start of the year. But they're five and two and
New Orleans drops to three and four. But the better
(05:17):
start continues to be in the losing locker room. So
that is where we are going to begin. We're gonna
start in the losing locker room. The question here is
how do you digest Derek Carr's performance on the Thursday
night game for the Saints. So I've got goosebumps, back splash,
and under belly, and we're gonna put all of these
(05:39):
things together and we're gonna make a Whoopie Pie. We
used to have this guy named Whoopee Pie Blair that
called the show. We haven't talked to him in a while,
so we're gonna make a whoopee pie. Now. First of all,
New Orleans was playing with matches the moment they signed
Derek Carr. I know we are flogging a dead horse,
but now they're getting the full Monty Okay, and bless
(06:03):
his heart, he's great for sports radio. Derek Carr. He's
so bad at his job it just makes my job easy.
Really do thank him for that. I don't know that
he understands how easy it is to do a job
like this when you have incompetence like that. Carr is
a heartbreaker, right, This performance was on brand. He attempted
double nickels fifty five passes in this game to get
(06:26):
over barely over three hundred yards and then at the
end ends up gagging on the Big Bowl of Jambalaya
and continues to be a volatile stock. And Derek Carr
is a nineteen nineties goosebumps book for New Orleans app
be careful what you wish for. Right, you knew what
(06:48):
you were getting into in free agency. The fact that
nobody else really wanted Derek Carr was a dead give
a way. That is a dead give way. With the
shortage the supply chain ordered your quarterbacks. There were not
people knocking down the door to bring Derek Carr in
because he's an open book in pressure situations. Derek Carr
(07:09):
is a klutz. He's an accident waiting to happen. And
you think about the different kinds of cars we have, Right,
you have a luxury car, you have a sporty car,
you have the the Tesla, the electric kind of car. Right,
Derek Carr is a beater car. Right, He's the car
that you just beat up and you kick and you
(07:30):
dent and you don't care, and that's it. And in
the quarterback hierarchy. He's made a lot of money. He's
also a laughingstock when when you look at big moments,
there sucking the joy from the fan experience. Now, there
are some quarterback defenders that will say, well, it's not
it's not his fault. Foster Moreau had butter fingers. And
(07:54):
it is true. Foster Moreau the tight end had butter fingers.
He dropped the pass, he got behind a couple of
Jacks single defenders on that final drive. But it's the
Karma Cafe, and these things always seem to happen to
Derek you know, you know, like certain quarterbacks are just
lucky devils and and things go their way. And then
there's guys like Derek Carr, who's sheep Rock slip Rock,
(08:17):
and it's just bad, bad crap seems to happen. Now. Secondly,
are things right now looking up or down for the Saints.
They did lose the game. They're three and four, So
are things looking up or down? The easy answer would
be down. The answer though, is not down. It is
not up. They are stuck in the middle and New Orleans.
(08:42):
I've seen this team play a lot. They absolutely blew
the doors off the Patriots which isn't saying much. And
I got this one right, and from the gambling perspective
and all that, we got the TV show that'll be
out here later on Friday, Benny versus the Penny. But
New Orleans is like backsplash, but not expensive Italian marble backsplash.
(09:04):
No way, Jose right that the Saints, coached by Dennis Allen,
are like that stick on vinyl backsplash. It kind of
looks like the real thing, but you just glue it
to the wall behind behind the kitchen wall there. They're
a middling team. The defense is averaged the slightly above average,
(09:27):
the offense is clueless. They're a faux contender. And the
only reason they're a fall contender is because location, location, location,
NFC South. It is a banana slug racing a garden snail.
You've got the Bucks, the Saints, and for now the Falcons,
three blind mice who currently are spitting in the wind.
(09:50):
One of these teams will go to the playoffs as
a division winner, and whoever that is, they will be
cannon fodder b cannon fodder for the forty nine Ers, Eagles,
and Lions in the postseason. So, needless to say, I'm
not I'm not very high on the New Orleans football team.
(10:13):
Now final five, let's go to the other side of
the room. Just a bunch of Jags. How are things
looking for Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars. So I am
abivalent at this point on the Jacksonville football team because
I spoke very kindly early in the year, very very
(10:37):
high conversation. I was giving them flowers on Benny versus
the Penny, and they went out and lost to the
Houston Texans. Earlier in the year maybe looked like a
total schmuck. And they've got a good record. Five and
two is a good record. But I look at them
and there's something still not right. One of the thing
(10:57):
of a Jigs is not quite right there. They were
working progress. There are some weak spots, which is the
perfect kind of team right as you come along for
the ride, if you're Doug Peterson, don't coaches love to
talk about how well we won that game, but we
have a lot of work to do. And you look
at Doug Peterson there and he needs to get some
claarox bleach to clean up the oozing goo which is
(11:20):
coming out of parts of the Jacksonville football team. There's
a lot there that needs to still be coached up,
to be schemed up. The Jacks were leading this game
twenty four to nine. They should have won this game
by three touchdowns, and they had New Orleans on the ropes.
And as Dennis Green would say, we let him off
the hook. We let him off the hook. You want
to crown him, crown the rasses, but we let him
(11:40):
off the hook.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
If you want to crowd them, they crown their ass.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Yeah, but they are who we thought they were, and
we let them off the hook. Damn.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
Right.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
And then I heard the voice of Fox Sports Radio
alumnus Jim Moore. But you know, Dennis Green worked here
too for like two days and then he got a
job at ESPN. But Jim mora, Jim Moore worked and
his greatest rant. We know we couldn't do Diddley pooh, Right,
And you see the soft underbelly of Jacksonville miscues galore.
They muffed the punt, there was a fumble that happened
(12:12):
back to back. They had eleven third down plays, they
converted just two of them. My computer like brain says, hot,
diggity dog, that's eighteen percent. Jacksonville's defense also allowed a
very vanilla Saints offense to have twenty five first downs
and over four hundred yards of offense in New Orleans
(12:34):
was able to slowly, methodically matriculate the ball down the
field for over thirty six minutes of game time. So
that ain't good even and you look down the line
and you look around. Buffalo's got five guys dinged up
on defense. They've got a malcontent wide receiver Stefon Diggs.
(12:55):
They've got a quarterback Josh Allen whose shoulder is starting
to park a little bit, so they've got issues. Kansas City,
their wide receivers all look like Lizzo the way they run,
So they've got they've got some issues in terms of
having after burners at the white opposition. Cincinnati's Joe Burrow
has been historically bad. So the teams that were supposed
(13:17):
to run away with everything in the AFC have not
exactly separated themselves from the field. And so Jacksonville's in
that mix, and they've got their own issues and their
own Michigan that they have to work through. But I
was just expecting more. This should have been a easier
when you should not have needed Derek Carr to screw
(13:38):
things up in Foster Moreau to f up at the
end of the game to beat the Saints. I know
it's a short week, it was a road game. I
get all that I get, But still, am I being unreasonable?
I don't think I'm being unreasonable. I'm going no, no,
I'm not unreasonable when it comes to that. That's just
(13:59):
the proper way to look at these these I have
high standards, damn it, I have. I have high standards
Dad Gummett and that and that's the way it is.
I mean, that's that's just it. So anyway, let's go
into the locker room. Here the better story in the
losing locker room Dennis Allen, who somehow got another coaching
job after being completely incompetent with the old Oakland Raiders
(14:21):
back in the day. Here is the head coach and
air quotes of the New Orleans football team pointing out
there is a bugaboo with the Saints. What would that be?
Coach Allen?
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Obviously disappointing veloss. I do think there are some things
that I saw in the game that was good to see.
I thought our offense kind of responded there in the
second twenty four nine. I think right now, I think
our team is too inconsistent right now. Oh yeah, and
that's you know what's causing us, you know, problems.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
All right, Derek Carr, let's move over to Derek Carr.
We'll do the sideway shuffle to Derek Carr. Carr, you're
not only a quarterback, you continue to be the epitome
of suck lad in games. Here is Derek Carr summing
up that he needs to add more of the L
word to his game.
Speaker 6 (15:07):
Take as I've been showing my motion a little bit
too much on my sleeve, you know, like I kind
of got chill out, you know, And that's me holding
myself accountable because that's not gonna help anything. And so
just trying to be a calming influence in those moments,
especially when there's been a couple of times it's happened
that heightened frustration. I could do a better job as
a leader to calm everybody down.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Oh see the L word leader, that's the L word leader.
All right. Yeah, here's one more from Derek Carr. He
was huffing and puffing, he was gonna blow the whole
locker room down there at the Super Dome. Here is
Derek Carr on what led to that fiery moment, actually
several fiery moments for the New Orleans football team. Let's
(15:47):
go to the audio tape. Take a listen.
Speaker 6 (15:49):
You know I'm not going to tell you, but there
are some things when today that led to some pretty
big negative plays that should never happen, and I think
that's where my frustration was coming from.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
There.

Fox Sports Radio Studios. It's Ben Maller.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Yeappin foodball is Jacksonville gets in the win column better
store in the losing locker room as all of the
media flambang Derek Carr. He's being charboiled for the performance
there in that game, really the entire game. There was
a little bit of a stretch in the second half,
in the third quarter where New Orleans made some plays,
(18:17):
but they were dreadful for the first half of the game.
Booed off the field super Dome, and then the screw
up late in the game. Griddles writes in he says, Hey, Ben,
can you take it easy on my guy, Iowa Sam?
Maybe one night a week. Yeah, you're overly nice to him.
(18:38):
Griddle says, us Iowans don't have a lot of internationally
famous people like Iowa Sam. He says, also, do you
have any nicknames? Am? Iowa Sam?
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Am?
Speaker 1 (18:51):
I Am? I excessively mean to you? Io Sam? Have
I crossed the line here? Sam?
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Is?
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Did I do something I shouldn't have done here?
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Not tonight at least, Oh not?
Speaker 1 (19:02):
But I have so the last couple of nights I've
been been a douche. No, No, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
No.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Twenty six minutes in We're good, so so far, so good,
so far, so great. Twenty six minutes in. That's not
even a full Iowa minute, not even not even half,
not even close, not at all. We'd have ways to go, ways,
ways and ways exactly never in never, never, never, never never,
(19:30):
Drew writes in He's got an update for us Cowboy Drew.
He says logging season has begun on Farming simulator for
adult Gummies and Ben Maller get me through the night.
God bless you.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
A lot of gummies, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Yeah, well those are magic.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Magic.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
It's a long night, Eddie. That's a good looking game
I got. I think I could do the logging thing.
I'd be a good logger. I could do that. I'd
be all right because if I drop a log, I
wouldn't kill anybody. It's a video game. Drop a log.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
What's that you said, drop a log?
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Well, we do that every day at you know, if
we were healthy, you know, you proper amounts of fiber.
You know it's good. The Bourbon Badger writes, you know
it's big. If the Bourbon Badgers are listening to the
show and writing, and he says, hey, minus on the
Mala monologue tonight Derek and the Saints. And then he
sent a photo of the Saints team bus and that's
(20:28):
quite the good looking clown car there for the Saints.
Yaphoemei and Chicago writes in here he says malor a
plus on the Mala monologue with some humble pie. Never
tell Al Michaels your transgressions or he will air it
out on national TV. Also, Derek Carr faked the groin
injury just like that phony Southern accent. No Bennet's for
(20:52):
car okay. Romeo writes in from parts on Known, and
he says, as a long Jaguar fan, your taking on
the game tonight was spot on. The jag should have
won by at least three touchdowns. They need a killer
instinct to put away lesser opponents. And Diddley Pooh is
what I call the Jags second half offense spot on.
(21:14):
And I'm invested Romeo in the Jags because I went
out early in the TV show and uh praised a
Matthew Warrior Raider fans has ten out of ten on
the Mala Monologue, while Raider fans are getting the full
Jimmy g experience. Saints fans are now getting the Derek
Carr experience, a couple losses away from him crying in
(21:35):
the postgame presser. Yeah, meanwhile, you have famous Jameis Winston
who's hanging out in the shadows. What about me?
Speaker 2 (21:45):
What?
Speaker 1 (21:46):
What about me?
Speaker 5 (21:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Go late night? Drug tester says. The only question that
needs to be answered after that win is does Trevor
Lawrence still head to the waffle house to celebrate? Well,
there's plenty of waffle houses if he wants one in
that area, not far away. Look, I don't know Jameis
Winston personally. Yes, seems like a fun guy. Though he
(22:12):
does he seems like a nice guy.
Speaker 7 (22:14):
But I feel bad saying I feel like it's a bean.
But I feel like anytime the camera shows him, he's
just got like the stupidest face.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Yeah, yeah, total, You're not wrong, like everything, the body
language just like like not just as like facial expressions
like the whole body full, the full monthy on that. Yeah,
he's absolutely got it. So I have an unpopular opinion
I want to share with the class here, and I
(22:46):
don't think i'm in the wrong. Here, uh, the end
of the Saints Jaggs game. If you're watching, there was
a pass by Derek Carr to the back of the
left side of the end zone to Foster Morele tight
end for New Orleans, who was behind the Jacksonville defense.
He was there. There were two Jacksonville defenders, but he
(23:06):
was behind the defense. The throw was not perfect, but
an NFL wide out or NFL pass catcher should catch
that throw. I don't think that's unrealistic to think that
if you're in the NFL you can make that catch.
And so they showed Foster Moreau on the bench crying,
just absolutely water works, just bawling tears. His teammates were
(23:31):
trying to console him as he was devastating for dropping
the touchdown against Jacksonville. And I heard the TV guys
and I've read several things on different media sites about it.
It's not his fault. It's not tight end Foster Moreau's fault.
He doesn't come down to one play. Here's my opinion. Okay,
(23:52):
how does it not come down to that play?
Speaker 5 (23:54):
Right?
Speaker 1 (23:54):
I mean, anything that happened before that gets erased. If
Foster Moreau makes that catch, it is absolutely his fault,
and I am sick and tired. It was no his fault.
Like when a kicker misses a kick like Moody for
the forty nine Ers missed the kick Jake Moody against
the Cleveland Browns, and he makes the kick, it totally
changes everything. Well, it's not his fault. You know the
(24:16):
other things that could have happened. That is the lamest
bull crap. All right, Foster moreufed up. He screwed up.
He cost the Saints the game by not making the catch. Period. Stop. Okay,
you don't have to give a laundry lizen lose that
and the other thing could have happened. No, No, he
should have been distraught. He's a pro football player. His
(24:38):
job is to make that play. And he had butterfingers,
and not the kind of delicious butterfingers you get on Halloween. No,
this is this is a different kind of butterfingers, a
different kind. And I got all this psychobabble. Well, it's
not his fault, Yes, it is. It's his fault. It
is absolutely his fault. It's no one else's fault. It's
(25:02):
his fault. He was behind the defense, he was there
the pass was catchable. He didn't catch the ball. That's it.
What are we doing? Boh, there's always next time. No,
there might not be in next time if you make
plays like that.
Speaker 5 (25:18):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Hi, this is Jay Glazer.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
And you may know me for the world of football
or fighting, or even shows like HBO's Ballers or you
don't know is for my entire life, I have lived
in something I refer to as the gray depression anxiety.
So now I'm coming out with a new podcast, Unbreakable,
a mental health podcast with Jay Glazer, where each week,
while we talk about mental health, I hope to describe it,
(25:46):
give it words. Listen to Unbreakable with Jay Glazer on
the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Now. I'm guessing we may have a malmur monologue on this.
It is a four hour show. We got f ball
obviously start the show. We've got two postseason baseball games
and maybe this will see but the college football where
the ndza A is investigating Michigan over allegations of signs stealing.
Uh they're saying the Wolverine's coaching staff that they scouted
(26:15):
future opponents and potential playoff teams UH to gather information
about the offensive defense by sending whoever, I don't know
if members of the staff to go to games and
UH and and observe the sidelines and who maybe record
things I don't know. In a statement Michigan had football
go schip Harbor denied that he had any knowledge of
sign stealing, added he never directed anyone to participate in
(26:38):
off site scouting of of teams.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Yeah, so this will not be a malea monologue. I
was reading about the story here. It's a it's a
good story, but it's not it's not close enough to
my home, like the Astro story.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Cheatings, cheating, cheating scandal being ignored by Ben Mallers.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
It is gonna be on Eddie's Hockey podcast this weekend. Eddie.
What's your name of your podcast? Eddie, what's the name
of it?
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Uh, the puk podcast.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Yeah, you'll be on the Puck Podcast.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Why would that be on there? It's college football. I
don't have a college football.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Don't have to just be a pigeonhole as a hockey guy.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Actually, you do because it's just a hockey podcast. It's
very weird.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
As long as you say, hey, Jim Harball went to
a Red Wings game in like nineteen ninety seven, that's
a hockey It makes no.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
Sense at all.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
It absolutely makes sense. I had a programm director early
in my radio career. He said, anything could be a
sports story. You just have to find a window sports
hockey story. Nobody can't be a hockey story.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
That makes it sense.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Jim Harball.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Covering up for Michigan and cheatings.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Covering up for Michigan.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
You're ignoring this is not You're only focusing on the
cheating Astros, but you're fine with that.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
The football team is did not beat the Dodgers in
the World Series if they had beaten the Dodgers, So.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Your average on shooting only is involves your teams?
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Yes, absolutely, yes, man. If the Astros had cheated against
I don't know the uh, you know, the.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Giants against any other team, you would be ignoring this.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
No, I wouldn't be ignoring it, but it would not
be my singular focus when I wake up every day
and when I go to bed. It would not be
my focus. Okay, but I want vengeance no justice, no peace.
We did not get justice for the a holes and
no peace, no people. I don't care if all these
(28:26):
other broadcasters sucked the toes of jose Al. I don't
want to hear because it pisses you off. I do
not want to hear all these broadcasters who are who
are marginalizing what happened and and and trying to change
the narrative about Altuve. I know you're in bed with
Major League Baseball. I'm not in bed with Major Leaguely listen,
(28:48):
they're all shills for Major League Baseball. It's embarrassing. There's
a lot of dumb I'm not done talking to any
There's a lot of dummies out there that are influenced
by these idiots. And it bothers me. Are you done?
Speaker 3 (29:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (29:03):
It is the Ben Malor Show. Hey, we're in the
final stretch to get tickets the horse racing's biggest moment
of the year. That's the world's best. They're headed to
Santa Anita for the Breeders' Cup World Championships. It's on
November third and fourth. The countdown begins now. Get tickets
today at Breeders Cup dot com and I believe I
(29:25):
will be out at said events. I think I will
be at one of those one of those two days,
I'll be out there hanging out. At least that's the
plan unless something changes. I know you're worried about my schedules.
Let you know, well, it's a weekly occurrence. Every Thursday,
there's an NFL game, and most of them al Michael's calls,
except for holidays, and Al he really upsets certain factions
(29:52):
of observers. Now, the great thing about the socials, about
the social media is at any moment you can tie
in a couple of words and find people upset about anything.
But Al Michaels is a popular target for many because
he's a boomer. He's old, and young people hate old people.
That's how we do things in America. You go to
(30:13):
other parts of the world and they love old people. America,
we hate our old people. Anyway, NFL fans grumbling, they're upset. Now,
what are the upset with Al Michael's about. In the past,
they've been upset because of Al's conversations about Taylor Swift.
He made a mistake about how many championships the forty
nine ers had won that pissed some people off. He
said the wrong name of the Eagles stadium. That upsets
(30:35):
some people. So this week the Al Michaels Complaint department
open for business. And it was the go ahead touchdown,
the catch and run from Christian Kirk of Jacksonville, that
late fourth quarter touchdown a little over three minutes ago,
Trevor Lawrence a short pass and Trevor throwing the Kirk,
(30:58):
who then turned the corner and zigged and zag through
forty four yards of real estate to get in the
end zone. He ran along the sidelines there got in
the end zone. But Al Michaels said Christian, here's how
he did it. Did the play boff? He said, Christian
Kirk inside the twenty goes and Christian Kirk takes the
ball all the way to about the one yard line. Yeah,
(31:24):
but it was actually it, it was a touchdown. So
people upset, very angry at Al. How dare you?
Speaker 8 (31:33):
Al?
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Yeah, okay, screw you, I said, I defend al Michaels.
I stand with Al Michaels, me and al me and
Al No one's perfect. And if you do the scoreboard,
al Michaels on the Jumbo Tron of Life, pretty good,
(31:56):
all right, pretty good print the pretty pretty good through
the hustle and bustle of the world. Anyway, it is
