Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our name Bird two and here.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
An hour two the sky is falling in Sinn City.
How ugly have things gotten for the unbattled Josh McDaniels
in Viva Las Vegas? Also what happened to Dalvin Cook
and that supposed honeymoon with the Jets?
Speaker 1 (00:22):
And is it true that.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Dolphin stars to a Tunguebayla and others are hyperventilating over
absolutely nothing with their upcoming appearance on Hard Knocks. We'll
talk about that and who knows what else? Right now
here it is our number two. The sequel is the
equal welmeme. In the beginning of another hour of the
(00:51):
Ben Mahlor Show, We are in.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
The air everywhere.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Comrades as we know you are what you eat, coast
to coast, border the water and beyond on the vast
and groovily powerful microphones of FSR AMMA, neating live from
the trail, the vapor trail that we leave behind, hanging
(01:17):
out with you as we are broadcasting live from the
Tyraq dot com studios. Tyraq dot com will help you

The wait tire bind should be we time shifted the
(01:39):
NFL pick them. We'll do that coming up after the
Mala monologue, but right now we begin with this, the
headline from Lost Wages Nevada. I've said for many years
the better story is in the losing locker room. So
from all corners of the earth we point not to Carolina.
Now we go to as we said, Lost Wages, Nevada,
(01:59):
where the silver and black. What's a word you could
describe the Raiders? How about flaccid? The Raiders have been
flaccid all season and now things are taking a turn
to the wild side. If you have not been following,
maybe not bad job by you. But there are multiple
anonymous Raider players that have said to have had a
(02:24):
meltdown and are spilling their minds thoughts regarding the tenure
of Josh McDaniels. We are talking about malcontent players who
are grumbling and they're not happy, upset with the way
Josh McDaniels airs them out. Watching film, one of the
(02:47):
players told a reporter that we're gonna go watch film
and have the coaches blame us again for the loss,
he said. Another player was upset about the old school offense,
saying that it's not up to date compared to teams
like the forty nine Ers, the Eagles, and the Dolphins
who used the entire field. He also said those teams
(03:09):
are having fun playing ball. For us, it's a job
that little violin out that tiny violin. Also, the claim
being made by a different Raiders player is that they
are running the same blank.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
For the last twenty years.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Josh McDaniel's offense is the same offense the Patriots ran
some twenty years ago. He said, it's hard to win
when you're too damn predictable. This anonymous Raider player also
claimed that the Chicago defense, this is kind of funny,
would call out what play the Raiders were running before
they ran the play, that they knew exactly.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
What the Raiders were going to do because they didn't
change anything.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
So let us discuss the question how ugly are things
getting for Josh McDaniels in Viva Las Vegas. So I've
got grand theft, auto, animal shelter, and Instagram, and we're
gonna combine all of those things together and we are
going to make a jackpot. Now number one Josh McDaniels
(04:20):
has gone from saint to center. Now he's still revered
as the offensive genius. Some of you find find ful
find people you know who you are, who regularly send
me messages in Boston in that area, like, oh, if
the Patriots had Josh McDaniels, then mac Jones would be
(04:42):
so good, and they, oh, he misses he misses him
so much, which is quite the juxtaposition when you look
at what's going on in Vegas where the Raiders are
one of the worst offensive teams in football, and this
guy was a wizard, Josh McDaniels, apparently with the Patriots
when he comes to EXAs and o's proving that one
man's gold is another man's rubbish.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
And if you look at how.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Things are going with the Raiders, you take three steps
back and you look across the landscape. He's essentially playing
Grand Theft Auto and there's smoke that is flowing up
from the hood as the car takes on the damage
there and it's the Josh McDaniels glapi. He's taken a
lot of shrapnel from all sides. Now, some of this
(05:24):
you could say is just soft players, right, You could say, well, oh, boooooo,
the coaches are blaming us for losing. Well, the coaches
aren't playing, You're the ones playing. Who else are they
going to blame for losing? Right, So tell me you're
a wuss without telling me you're a wuss. So some
of that is just you blame it on the player.
But in general, there's a bit of a rule here.
(05:46):
Casey Stango came up with it so eloquently, old Baseball
Hall of Famer for many years back that the secret
to being successful as a coach is to keep the
five guys who hate your guts away from the four
guys who haven't made their mind up. And it sounds
to me like shiver me timbers that that has not
(06:07):
happened with the Raiders, that the guys that hate you,
Josh McDaniels have been able to work their way over
to the guys that haven't made their minds up yet.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
And it's a problem.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
And McDaniels has a worse winning percentage with Vegas than
he did in Denver when everyone said what a disaster
he was with the Broncos.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
And the team is boring. Now you've got malcontent players.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
You don't need me to do the Malorman. Yeah, you
don't need me, and things are going great.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
If you're looking to change jobs, things are looking great
all right now? Page two here headline from Jersey where
veteran running back Dalvin Cook has now admitted that he's
fit to be tied here. He's annoyed, he's frustrated, he's
agitated because he is a bus rider. He is a
(07:01):
backup buried on the depth chart for the Jets. He
spoke about this this week and said that he is
planning to talk to his agent and the GM Joe
Douglas about entering the transfer portal as the trade deadline
is next week on Halloween. So here's the question, what happened?
What happened to Dalvin Cook with the Jets. I remember
(07:24):
when Dalvin Cook was going on the free agent tour
and the Neanderthal Jet fan was chanting his name. Remember
that they were chanting Dalvin Cook's name, rhythmic chanting, trying
to convince him to sign with the Jets. And if
you look at what he's done here, he has not
been able to do Diadley Pooh with Gangree.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
He is not.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
I think we have audio on this. I'm told all right, Well,
let's go to the audio tape. Here's Dalvin Cook. You
can take a little listen, take a listen.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
I know, have you watched my career, and you know
the tope of back I am, and I get better
and better as the game go, more touches, you know,
filling the defense out. Just the more touches I get,
the better I get. That's the game go. So it's
still kind of adjusting to that. But you know, but
the carriers I get. I do what I can. I
try to be explosive, uh situation or I try to
(08:14):
do what the team need to be done. And you
know that's what yet, so of course it's frustrated. I'm
an honest person, man, like I work, I want, I
want to I want to play. That's just that's just anybody.
And yeah, it's frustrating because it's new for me. Like
I come from getting the ball twenty times a game
will happen many times, you know, I come from that.
But yeah, of course it's frustrating, and it's something that
(08:35):
I've been adapting to. And like I said, the people
that's close to me, you know, helping me, you know,
get the way I need to be.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Okay, where he needs to be is somewhere else it
would appear. But it is a case of bait and switch.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Right, the Jets thought they were getting a Westminster Kennel
Club dog ribbon winning situation.
Speaker 6 (08:55):
Right.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
They thought they were getting a dog that was gonna
win a dog show. And instead they went to the
animal shelter for an adopter pet, and they got a
dog covered in flees and ticks.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
And this is where the Vikings were right.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Minnesota punted on Dalvin Cook and people said, you're nuts,
what are you doing now? It's not like the Vikings
have a great running game this year, but they were
correct that Dalvin Cook was losing it. And Dalvin Cook
was let go in Minnesota because he had crossed the
fifteen hundred touches threshold, crossing the rubicon. And the analytics
(09:29):
claimed that when a running back crosses fifteen hundred touches,
their productivity craters.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Check mate.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
So far.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
And as for the idea that another team is going
to trade for Dalvin Cook, what kind of pipe dream
is that? Right the Jets, here's where Dalvin Cooks can
ended up. If the Jets want, they're gonna try to
trade him. I'm sure they will talk to some teams.
No one will trade for him. So then what the
Jets will do is they'll go down to one of
those red kettles from the Salvation Army and they'll leave
(10:00):
a donation. Dalvin Cook will be put into the waiver wire.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
And then he can go somewhere. All right, final point, We.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Head to Miami, Miami, Miami, Miami. You know who's heading
to Miami? Hard Knocks. Yeah, in season Hard Knocks. It
was announced this week coming to the Dolphins locker room
near you, the signature vehicle of HBO will have cameras
and microphones canvassing the team facility. And how do you
(10:29):
think that was met? Well, let's see to a tongue
of by Law. Not happy, Zavon Howard, really not happy.
They are among the name brand Dolphin players complaining, complaining. Now,
the one that complained the loudest was Zavion Howard. He said,
Hard Knocks is bull pucky. I am shocked that he
(10:50):
quote our friend from the Ukraine Jay Scoop, but he
appears to have done that hard Well. I think he
might have said different words, but we cleaned it up
for the radio. Edited Hard Knock is Bullpucky, especially during
the season.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Howard moaned. He said, I am serious, I'm not a fan.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
To a tongue of by lawa said he prefers to
go about his work in a private matter. And there
were a bunch of other players that you've never heard
of that also complain. Is it true the Dolphin stars,
to a tongue of by Law and Zab and Howard
are hyperventilating over absolutely nothing?
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Ding ding ding ding ding.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Yes, this has become, over the years, a timeless storyline.
Here's how it works. I'll give you the abcson the
one two three.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
So a Hard Knocks picks a team B player X
or coach X rips the show.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
See nothing happens all that bad? Why? I'll tell you why.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
NFL films, which produces this Hard Knocks. They turn on
the Instagram filter, you know those beauty and augmented reality
facial filters on the social media like Instagram.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
It's magic or TV magic. In this case, Hard Knocks
will deliver the Dolphin players modelesque looks.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
They'll they'll sharpen them, they'll make them look skinnier. If
they're fat, they'll enhance their appearance. They'll if they need
to recolor some stuff. They'll do that and reshape their bodies.
It's the prov the news service. Anything negative, anything that
puts the NFL product in a bad light, gets left
on the editing floor. And yet we still have these
conversations about I don't like it.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
I can't stand it. It's so bad. What are you dumb?
Speaker 2 (12:36):
There's nothing to this now if you're gonna tell me
in a different dimension that they actually share the stuff
where the players are making obscene jokes to each other
and they're not remembering plays and they're upset with the
coaches and if that happens, okay, none of that will happen. Now,
all of that will happen, but none of it will
(12:56):
make the show.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
So what is that?
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Well, I know what this is. It is the Ban
Mahlor Show. And if you would like to be part
of this program, you can do that.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Speakeasy rules are in effect, but we would love to
take your calls. We call up, scream, shout.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Yell, all of that. You are more than welcome from the.
Speaker 2 (13:15):

the ships at sea, on the American Forces Network where
we are carried as well.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
So be part of the show.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Now, I promised we were gonna time shift this for
ratings purposes, so I think we should do this.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Now, what is this?
Speaker 2 (13:43):
That would be the NFL pick them and then don't
forget I was him after the NFL pick them. The'll
be a live read, but it will not sound like
a live read. It will not sound like a live read.
So let's get to it. It is NFL Pickham time.
We're gonna pick a quarterback, a running back, two wide receivers,
and a tight end, and whoever ends up getting the
(14:05):
most Fantasy points for Week eight will be declared the
winner of the Week eight NFL schedule. I am told
a voice in my head, okay, I think means I
have some kind of mental illness. Tells me that Cooper
Loop will be going first, and you're on the board.

on television Week eight. I've been doing Benny Versus the
Penn I did it on radio for many years. They
picked up picked up my NBC Sports and I've had
the worst season I've ever had doing it. So, I mean,
that was great last year. I don't know what's gone on.
(19:48):
This year it's gone. I'm doing the same thing I
did last year, and this year it's gone completely to hell.
But there's still time, a.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Lot of football left, a lot of football left.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
I did win the Thursday night game. For what it's worth,
I had Tampa Bay. I got a backdoor cover. It's
happy about that. That's seventeen play, seven and a half
minute drive by the Buccaneers when they were down by
two scores, methodically going down the field, but it was
good enough to cover the inflated point spread in that.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
So all right, let's go to the phones.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
We'll say hello to ed in Arlington.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
It is a big night for ed In Arlington, as
his Texas Rangers on Fox.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Will begin the World Series against the d Backs.
Speaker 11 (20:29):
Hello, ed In Arlington, just I got to plant a
thought in your head. Just remember that every minute spent
talking about football.
Speaker 12 (20:43):
Or any's putting us all to sleep with his hockey
news and scores, is one last minute it could be
spent glorifying the Texas Rangers and their march history.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Well Ed, I was very happy the other night when
the clinching moment happened for you.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Congratulations. Now you've been with the Rangers a long time.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
I think you've liked the Rangers more than the Rangers
themselves have liked the Rangers.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
So congratulations.
Speaker 11 (21:12):
Well, I appreciate the uh, the the thanks there. I
guess I was a little surprised to hear that you
haven't done a whole week of shows related to the
World Series, in particular Texas Rangers. Yeah, I mean I'm not.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Now I would like to alert Edin, Arlington and all
the affiliates down the line. The next hour, I will
have the most coveted block of radio airtime all week,
Malors World Series Pick. Nobody else has that edit Arlt,
Will I pick your Rangers or am I going to
go with the upstart Arizona Diamondbacks developing? Next hour It's
(21:55):
on Fox Game one of the World Series.
Speaker 11 (22:00):
And Edward got me on the You got me on
the edge of my seat. Now I'll have to listen
to that, but better listen. The Rangers are going to
be making a mistake if they take the Snakes lightly.
The Snakes are I don't care that they are only
three games above five hundred in the regular season. They've
(22:20):
got some talent, some under the radar talent. In fact,
their whole roster is under the radar talent. And uh yeah,
they they their record suns kind of mediocre, but that
just means that it took them a while, took them
longer than usual to get their acts together.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
And let's not get carried away here. They're a mediocre
baseball team that's played well for a month.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
That's all they are.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
And that's in this business that you get a trophy.
You can be mediocre for six months and then for
one month you're not mediocre, and if you're able to
make the playoffs being mediocre and eighty four wins is mediocre,
you know, that's a large sample size. They're not a
great team, but they've played well for a month, so congratulations,
(23:04):
but does not get carried.
Speaker 11 (23:05):
Away well that month is that month is months and
everybody else their competition was running out of gas from
the long season, as baseball is notorious for. But uh,
I think the Rangers will be all right. But uh
I wouldn't as long as they they bring their a
game and they don't they don't go to sleep on
(23:28):
the snake. Well, they got to take they.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Used to have to take you.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
One inning at a time, one pitch at a time.
That's what they gotta do it.
Speaker 11 (23:34):
Yeah, let's work some more cliches in there, that's right.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
Surprised her by renting out an entire waffle house, And

Speaker 1 (32:07):
Sierra's favorite restaurant is waffle House. She's just wonderful.
Speaker 8 (32:13):
She's a woman of the people. Wow. Yeah, I like
a lot of terrible food, but even I would not
pick waffle house to be Have you been to watch
I have. Yeah, when I went to Ohio and the
Pro Football Hall of Fame, I said, I said, we
got to go to waffle house. I gotta try that.
And then I really did not like the waffle I
liked it.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
I thought it was good.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
It's all right.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
It's it's diner, you know, diner food. They got a
little bit of everything on the menu there. It's so
it's open forever.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
At least when I was in first time I saw
waffle house, I was in Florida for spring training doing
stuff with the Dodgers, and I was like, I was
just like, I took photos of it, you know, I
was like, this is great. I've never seen a waffle
house before.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
And then you go in. It's like, you know, that's fine.
Speaker 8 (32:51):
I've never eaten at a waffle house.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
Missing out. Yeah, they're not around here though, there's none.

When I went to my my rock show where I
got COVID. I was. We were in a lot of lines,
and so, you know, you chit chat with folks, where
are you from? All that kind of thing. And there's
a couple from Texas and they're like, should we should
we make the effort for in and out? Because every
you know, every time we go by there, the line
is I'm like, you know what, I would say, yes,
it's it's yeah. I think it's a little lower rated personally,
(33:35):
but still give it a shot. It's worth it.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
It's worth it, all right, Furthest. West waffle House? You
want to take a guest Furthest. West waffle House?
Speaker 8 (33:43):
I'll say Vegas, Arizona. Yeah, we say Arizona.

It's fifteen or fifteen waffle houses in Arizona. See, Arizona
is the it's like in the South Arizona.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
You know, Southern United States, and it's like it's like
being you might as well be in mississippif you're in Arizona.
Fifteen pretty good. There are two hundred and thirty waffle
houses in Mississippi.
Speaker 12 (34:03):
I believe.
Speaker 8 (34:04):
Well, a lot of crazy fights.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
There's no way that can be right, right, There's no way,

That's great. Do you want to hear my waffle house
story or no?
Speaker 3 (34:24):
Well if you can tell it in thirty seconds.
Speaker 8 (34:27):
Uh. There were two young ladies working at the waffle house.
They had some sort of a squabble and it was
clear express it was clear that they were very upset
with each other. And there was an old gentleman who
was the cook, and I remember him just just kind
of giggling and saying, it's just waffle house. You know,
they were having but they were having like work drama.
And he's like, it ain't worth it, ladies.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
But any of those places open twenty four hours.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
I was at a Denny's in Palm Springs and we
were eating Denny's and at like, you know, two in
the morning, and a fight broke out and they knocked
the table over next to us.

Lillard thirty nine points in his Bucks debut says nineteen
eighty five. That is the second most points in a
player's debut behind blank.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
That is the question. What is the answer, And let's
see here does anyone know the answer? Page Dan, We've
got the great Eric Piatkowski guest by Steve in Arizona,
Cleat Boyer from Mister Nice Guy, Punky Brewster from Cowboy Killer,
(37:24):
Geno Petralia with a winking or nod to Edit Arlington
from Alf the Alien O Piner could reference there, Elmore
Spencer the Clippers Late Night to Rockchester, Big Lou He's
like you, He's.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
On number two from Brad in Montana. Eddie, do you
have an answer quickly, Eddie?
Speaker 8 (37:41):
Please? Yes, it's former Charlotte Hornet legend Raymond Felton, the
great Raymond Felton.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
That is incorrect.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
The correct answer is Kyrie Irving. He had fifty points
in his Brooklyn Nets debut way.
Speaker 8 (37:55):
Back in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
I barely remember that.
Speaker 13 (38:01):
It's maller.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
How about that?
Speaker 13 (38:02):
To the third degree, this is one big Ben gets
grilled the.
Speaker 6 (38:09):
Cupolou Duc Rivers said in an interview on Wednesday that
his honest relationship with James Harden is probably the reason
he's doing TV right now.
Speaker 7 (38:18):
Ben, Is he right?
Speaker 2 (38:19):
No, the reason he's doing TV is consistency of performance.
Whether he coached James hard He sucked before he coached
James Harden. His team's found new and creative ways to
lose NonStop. And now we got a We're being punished
by watching him on TV.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
And he'll be back.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
I'll bet you he gets another head coaching job because
he's on TV. He's very verbose, but it's it's not
James Harden's fault.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
Harden was bad, but Doc Rivers is bad.
Speaker 3 (38:42):
Also.
Speaker 6 (38:42):
Next, speaking of James Harden, the Clippers have reportedly put
their trade talks about the seventy six ers on hold.
In definitely they will instead of to see how the
team plays to begin the season. Ben, do you think
we've heard the last of harden to La.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
No, this is a vampire story. It will not die.
Speaker 2 (38:58):
It's a zombie story. It's gonna continue because he hasn't
been traded. Until he's traded, that's when the story's gonna end.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
Next.
Speaker 6 (39:05):
In the wake of the Michigan sign stealing scandal, Nick
Saban is advocated for college football to implement the use
of helmet communicators to eliminate the need for signs at all.
Speaker 7 (39:14):
Ben, do you think it'll happen.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
No, because not all schools are gonna spend the money
that is gonna be required to have that kind of technology.
It's nice of Nick to say that from a top
the mountain. Plus, that's an open book test. Football's gonna
have a little degree of difficulty. You can't spoon feed everyone.
How did we know you pass this edition?
Speaker 1 (39:32):
That is a weed?
Speaker 8 (39:33):
You could put it on the bar.
Speaker 2 (39:35):
I won Iowa saying nice, and I got to read
it nice.
Hello and welcome. It's our name Bird two and here.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
An hour two the sky is falling in Sinn City.
How ugly have things gotten for the unbattled Josh McDaniels
in Viva Las Vegas? Also what happened to Dalvin Cook
and that supposed honeymoon with the Jets?
Speaker 1 (00:22):
And is it true that.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Dolphin stars to a Tunguebayla and others are hyperventilating over
absolutely nothing with their upcoming appearance on Hard Knocks. We'll
talk about that and who knows what else? Right now
here it is our number two. The sequel is the
equal welmeme. In the beginning of another hour of the
(00:51):
Ben Mahlor Show, We are in.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
The air everywhere.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Comrades as we know you are what you eat, coast
to coast, border the water and beyond on the vast
and groovily powerful microphones of FSR AMMA, neating live from
the trail, the vapor trail that we leave behind, hanging

The wait tire bind should be we time shifted the
(01:39):
NFL pick them. We'll do that coming up after the
Mala monologue, but right now we begin with this, the
headline from Lost Wages Nevada. I've said for many years
the better story is in the losing locker room. So
from all corners of the earth we point not to Carolina.
Now we go to as we said, Lost Wages, Nevada,
(01:59):
where the silver and black. What's a word you could
describe the Raiders? How about flaccid? The Raiders have been
flaccid all season and now things are taking a turn
to the wild side. If you have not been following,
maybe not bad job by you. But there are multiple
anonymous Raider players that have said to have had a
(02:24):
meltdown and are spilling their minds thoughts regarding the tenure
of Josh McDaniels. We are talking about malcontent players who
are grumbling and they're not happy, upset with the way
Josh McDaniels airs them out. Watching film, one of the
(02:47):
players told a reporter that we're gonna go watch film
and have the coaches blame us again for the loss,
he said. Another player was upset about the old school offense,
saying that it's not up to date compared to teams
like the forty nine Ers, the Eagles, and the Dolphins
who used the entire field. He also said those teams
(03:09):
are having fun playing ball. For us, it's a job
that little violin out that tiny violin. Also, the claim
being made by a different Raiders player is that they
are running the same blank.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
For the last twenty years.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Josh McDaniel's offense is the same offense the Patriots ran
some twenty years ago. He said, it's hard to win
when you're too damn predictable. This anonymous Raider player also
claimed that the Chicago defense, this is kind of funny,
would call out what play the Raiders were running before
they ran the play, that they knew exactly.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
What the Raiders were going to do because they didn't
change anything.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
So let us discuss the question how ugly are things
getting for Josh McDaniels in Viva Las Vegas. So I've
got grand theft, auto, animal shelter, and Instagram, and we're
gonna combine all of those things together and we are
going to make a jackpot. Now number one Josh McDaniels
(04:20):
has gone from saint to center. Now he's still revered
as the offensive genius. Some of you find find ful
find people you know who you are, who regularly send
me messages in Boston in that area, like, oh, if
the Patriots had Josh McDaniels, then mac Jones would be
(04:42):
so good, and they, oh, he misses he misses him
so much, which is quite the juxtaposition when you look
at what's going on in Vegas where the Raiders are
one of the worst offensive teams in football, and this
guy was a wizard, Josh McDaniels, apparently with the Patriots
when he comes to EXAs and o's proving that one
man's gold is another man's rubbish.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
And if you look at how.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Things are going with the Raiders, you take three steps
back and you look across the landscape. He's essentially playing
Grand Theft Auto and there's smoke that is flowing up
from the hood as the car takes on the damage
there and it's the Josh McDaniels glapi. He's taken a
lot of shrapnel from all sides. Now, some of this
(05:24):
you could say is just soft players, right, You could say, well, oh, boooooo,
the coaches are blaming us for losing. Well, the coaches
aren't playing, You're the ones playing. Who else are they
going to blame for losing? Right, So tell me you're
a wuss without telling me you're a wuss. So some
of that is just you blame it on the player.
But in general, there's a bit of a rule here.
(05:46):
Casey Stango came up with it so eloquently, old Baseball
Hall of Famer for many years back that the secret
to being successful as a coach is to keep the
five guys who hate your guts away from the four
guys who haven't made their mind up. And it sounds
to me like shiver me timbers that that has not
(06:07):
happened with the Raiders, that the guys that hate you,
Josh McDaniels have been able to work their way over
to the guys that haven't made their minds up yet.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
And it's a problem.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
And McDaniels has a worse winning percentage with Vegas than
he did in Denver when everyone said what a disaster
he was with the Broncos.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
And the team is boring. Now you've got malcontent players.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
You don't need me to do the Malorman. Yeah, you
don't need me, and things are going great.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
If you're looking to change jobs, things are looking great
all right now? Page two here headline from Jersey where
veteran running back Dalvin Cook has now admitted that he's
fit to be tied here. He's annoyed, he's frustrated, he's
agitated because he is a bus rider. He is a
(07:01):
backup buried on the depth chart for the Jets. He
spoke about this this week and said that he is
planning to talk to his agent and the GM Joe
Douglas about entering the transfer portal as the trade deadline
is next week on Halloween. So here's the question, what happened?
What happened to Dalvin Cook with the Jets. I remember
(07:24):
when Dalvin Cook was going on the free agent tour
and the Neanderthal Jet fan was chanting his name. Remember
that they were chanting Dalvin Cook's name, rhythmic chanting, trying
to convince him to sign with the Jets. And if
you look at what he's done here, he has not
been able to do Diadley Pooh with Gangree.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
He is not.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
I think we have audio on this. I'm told all right, Well,
let's go to the audio tape. Here's Dalvin Cook. You
can take a little listen, take a listen.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
I know, have you watched my career, and you know
the tope of back I am, and I get better
and better as the game go, more touches, you know,
filling the defense out. Just the more touches I get,
the better I get. That's the game go. So it's
still kind of adjusting to that. But you know, but
the carriers I get. I do what I can. I
try to be explosive, uh situation or I try to
(08:14):
do what the team need to be done. And you
know that's what yet, so of course it's frustrated. I'm
an honest person, man, like I work, I want, I
want to I want to play. That's just that's just anybody.
And yeah, it's frustrating because it's new for me. Like
I come from getting the ball twenty times a game
will happen many times, you know, I come from that.
But yeah, of course it's frustrating, and it's something that
(08:35):
I've been adapting to. And like I said, the people
that's close to me, you know, helping me, you know,
get the way I need to be.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Okay, where he needs to be is somewhere else it
would appear. But it is a case of bait and switch.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Right, the Jets thought they were getting a Westminster Kennel
Club dog ribbon winning situation.
Speaker 6 (08:55):
Right.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
They thought they were getting a dog that was gonna
win a dog show. And instead they went to the
animal shelter for an adopter pet, and they got a
dog covered in flees and ticks.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
And this is where the Vikings were right.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Minnesota punted on Dalvin Cook and people said, you're nuts,
what are you doing now? It's not like the Vikings
have a great running game this year, but they were
correct that Dalvin Cook was losing it. And Dalvin Cook
was let go in Minnesota because he had crossed the
fifteen hundred touches threshold, crossing the rubicon. And the analytics
(09:29):
claimed that when a running back crosses fifteen hundred touches,
their productivity craters.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Check mate.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
So far.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
And as for the idea that another team is going
to trade for Dalvin Cook, what kind of pipe dream
is that? Right the Jets, here's where Dalvin Cooks can
ended up. If the Jets want, they're gonna try to
trade him. I'm sure they will talk to some teams.
No one will trade for him. So then what the
Jets will do is they'll go down to one of
those red kettles from the Salvation Army and they'll leave
(10:00):
a donation. Dalvin Cook will be put into the waiver wire.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
And then he can go somewhere. All right, final point, We.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Head to Miami, Miami, Miami, Miami. You know who's heading
to Miami? Hard Knocks. Yeah, in season Hard Knocks. It
was announced this week coming to the Dolphins locker room
near you, the signature vehicle of HBO will have cameras
and microphones canvassing the team facility. And how do you
(10:29):
think that was met? Well, let's see to a tongue
of by Law. Not happy, Zavon Howard, really not happy.
They are among the name brand Dolphin players complaining, complaining. Now,
the one that complained the loudest was Zavion Howard. He said,
Hard Knocks is bull pucky. I am shocked that he
(10:50):
quote our friend from the Ukraine Jay Scoop, but he
appears to have done that hard Well. I think he
might have said different words, but we cleaned it up
for the radio. Edited Hard Knock is Bullpucky, especially during
the season.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Howard moaned. He said, I am serious, I'm not a fan.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
To a tongue of by lawa said he prefers to
go about his work in a private matter. And there
were a bunch of other players that you've never heard
of that also complain. Is it true the Dolphin stars,
to a tongue of by Law and Zab and Howard
are hyperventilating over absolutely nothing?
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Ding ding ding ding ding.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Yes, this has become, over the years, a timeless storyline.
Here's how it works. I'll give you the abcson the
one two three.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
So a Hard Knocks picks a team B player X
or coach X rips the show.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
See nothing happens all that bad? Why? I'll tell you why.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
NFL films, which produces this Hard Knocks. They turn on
the Instagram filter, you know those beauty and augmented reality
facial filters on the social media like Instagram.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
It's magic or TV magic. In this case, Hard Knocks
will deliver the Dolphin players modelesque looks.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
They'll they'll sharpen them, they'll make them look skinnier. If
they're fat, they'll enhance their appearance. They'll if they need
to recolor some stuff. They'll do that and reshape their bodies.
It's the prov the news service. Anything negative, anything that
puts the NFL product in a bad light, gets left
on the editing floor. And yet we still have these
conversations about I don't like it.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
I can't stand it. It's so bad. What are you dumb?
Speaker 2 (12:36):
There's nothing to this now if you're gonna tell me
in a different dimension that they actually share the stuff
where the players are making obscene jokes to each other
and they're not remembering plays and they're upset with the
coaches and if that happens, okay, none of that will happen. Now,
all of that will happen, but none of it will
(12:56):
make the show.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
So what is that?
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Well, I know what this is. It is the Ban
Mahlor Show. And if you would like to be part
of this program, you can do that.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Speakeasy rules are in effect, but we would love to

Now, I promised we were gonna time shift this for
ratings purposes, so I think we should do this.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Now, what is this?
Speaker 2 (13:43):
That would be the NFL pick them and then don't
forget I was him after the NFL pick them. The'll
be a live read, but it will not sound like
a live read. It will not sound like a live read.

on television Week eight. I've been doing Benny Versus the
Penn I did it on radio for many years. They
picked up picked up my NBC Sports and I've had
the worst season I've ever had doing it. So, I mean,
that was great last year. I don't know what's gone on.
(19:48):
This year it's gone. I'm doing the same thing I
did last year, and this year it's gone completely to hell.
But there's still time, a.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Lot of football left, a lot of football left.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
I did win the Thursday night game. For what it's worth,
I had Tampa Bay. I got a backdoor cover. It's
happy about that. That's seventeen play, seven and a half
minute drive by the Buccaneers when they were down by
two scores, methodically going down the field, but it was
good enough to cover the inflated point spread in that.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
So all right, let's go to the phones.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
We'll say hello to ed in Arlington.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
It is a big night for ed In Arlington, as
his Texas Rangers on Fox.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Will begin the World Series against the d Backs.
Speaker 11 (20:29):
Hello, ed In Arlington, just I got to plant a
thought in your head. Just remember that every minute spent
talking about football.
Speaker 12 (20:43):
Or any's putting us all to sleep with his hockey
news and scores, is one last minute it could be
spent glorifying the Texas Rangers and their march history.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Well Ed, I was very happy the other night when
the clinching moment happened for you.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Congratulations. Now you've been with the Rangers a long time.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
I think you've liked the Rangers more than the Rangers
themselves have liked the Rangers.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
So congratulations.
Speaker 11 (21:12):
Well, I appreciate the uh, the the thanks there. I
guess I was a little surprised to hear that you
haven't done a whole week of shows related to the
World Series, in particular Texas Rangers. Yeah, I mean I'm not.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Now I would like to alert Edin, Arlington and all
the affiliates down the line. The next hour, I will
have the most coveted block of radio airtime all week,
Malors World Series Pick. Nobody else has that edit Arlt,
Will I pick your Rangers or am I going to
go with the upstart Arizona Diamondbacks developing? Next hour It's
(21:55):
on Fox Game one of the World Series.
Speaker 11 (22:00):
And Edward got me on the You got me on
the edge of my seat. Now I'll have to listen
to that, but better listen. The Rangers are going to
be making a mistake if they take the Snakes lightly.
The Snakes are I don't care that they are only
three games above five hundred in the regular season. They've
(22:20):
got some talent, some under the radar talent. In fact,
their whole roster is under the radar talent. And uh yeah,
they they their record suns kind of mediocre, but that
just means that it took them a while, took them
longer than usual to get their acts together.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
And let's not get carried away here. They're a mediocre
baseball team that's played well for a month.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
That's all they are.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
And that's in this business that you get a trophy.
You can be mediocre for six months and then for
one month you're not mediocre, and if you're able to
make the playoffs being mediocre and eighty four wins is mediocre,
you know, that's a large sample size. They're not a
great team, but they've played well for a month, so congratulations,
(23:04):
but does not get carried.
Speaker 11 (23:05):
Away well that month is that month is months and
everybody else their competition was running out of gas from
the long season, as baseball is notorious for. But uh,
I think the Rangers will be all right. But uh
I wouldn't as long as they they bring their a
game and they don't they don't go to sleep on
(23:28):
the snake. Well, they got to take they.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Used to have to take you.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
One inning at a time, one pitch at a time.
That's what they gotta do it.
Speaker 11 (23:34):
Yeah, let's work some more cliches in there, that's right.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Uh. They's got to play hard. That's all they got.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Just play hard exactly one second at the time.
Speaker 11 (23:45):
And win, win one for the team.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Yeah, yeah, all right, Well, ed, enjoy the game tonight
and all weekend long, and then we'll be back all
our coverage. I don't think we'll do any World Series
on Sunday night and the Monday because of football.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
But Monday night there's another game, so we'll talk about
it then.
Speaker 8 (24:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (24:03):
I got some advice for who handles the drops? Is
that that that's me? I always say, Iowa, So uh
play play not dead yet, I think is the title
by Lord Huron in honor of the Rangers bullpit work.
That in.
Speaker 8 (24:22):
Is that a song?
Speaker 11 (24:24):
Yeah? Okay, title is not dead yet and the artist
is Lord Huron. A lot of radio plays. Okay, we'll
see if we get of the Rangers bullpit.
Speaker 8 (24:34):
There you go.
Speaker 10 (24:35):
We'll see we got our we got our sandstorm coming
back at now you're getting well, we'll see if we
can weave it in there.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
But Ed's authentic. I mean, some of these guys are
like fake Ranger fans. But my god, Ed has been
calling when they were terrible and you would still call it.

of giggling and saying, it's just waffle house. You know,

Spencer the Clippers Late Night to Rockchester, Big Lou He's
like you, He's.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
On number two from Brad in Montana. Eddie, do you
have an answer quickly, Eddie?
Speaker 8 (37:41):
Please? Yes, it's former Charlotte Hornet legend Raymond Felton, the
great Raymond Felton.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
That is incorrect.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
The correct answer is Kyrie Irving. He had fifty points
in his Brooklyn Nets debut way.
Speaker 8 (37:55):
Back in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
I barely remember that.
Speaker 13 (38:01):
It's maller.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
How about that?
Speaker 13 (38:02):
To the third degree, this is one big Ben gets
grilled the.
Speaker 6 (38:09):
Cupolou Duc Rivers said in an interview on Wednesday that
his honest relationship with James Harden is probably the reason
he's doing TV right now.
Speaker 7 (38:18):
Ben, Is he right?
Speaker 2 (38:19):
No, the reason he's doing TV is consistency of performance.
Whether he coached James hard He sucked before he coached
James Harden. His team's found new and creative ways to
lose NonStop. And now we got a We're being punished
by watching him on TV.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
And he'll be back.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
I'll bet you he gets another head coaching job because
he's on TV. He's very verbose, but it's it's not
James Harden's fault.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
Harden was bad, but Doc Rivers is bad.
Speaker 3 (38:42):
Also.
Speaker 6 (38:42):
Next, speaking of James Harden, the Clippers have reportedly put
their trade talks about the seventy six ers on hold.
In definitely they will instead of to see how the
team plays to begin the season. Ben, do you think
we've heard the last of harden to La.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
No, this is a vampire story. It will not die.
Speaker 2 (38:58):
It's a zombie story. It's gonna continue because he hasn't
been traded. Until he's traded, that's when the story's gonna end.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
Next.
Speaker 6 (39:05):
In the wake of the Michigan sign stealing scandal, Nick
Saban is advocated for college football to implement the use
of helmet communicators to eliminate the need for signs at all.
Speaker 7 (39:14):
Ben, do you think it'll happen.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
No, because not all schools are gonna spend the money
that is gonna be required to have that kind of technology.
It's nice of Nick to say that from a top
the mountain. Plus, that's an open book test. Football's gonna
have a little degree of difficulty. You can't spoon feed everyone.
How did we know you pass this edition?
Speaker 1 (39:32):
That is a weed?
Speaker 8 (39:33):
You could put it on the bar.
Speaker 2 (39:35):
I won Iowa saying nice, and I got to read
it nice.
