Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our numb bert to we do the shuffle, the
quarterback shuffle? Can you explain what the Carson Wentz move
tells us about the Rams? They picked up Carson Wentz
off the waiver wire as he was unemployed. Not exactly
the greatest show on turf these days for the La Rams,
it's a boondoggle. Also, where does mar Tavius Bryant end

(00:26):
up in the Cowboys' hierarchy? As the Cowboys picked him
up in a pick up he had been out of
the NFL since twenty eighteen off the wire. Also, are
you surprised by the reaction of Miles Garrett picking Joe
Burrow as a better quarterback than Lamar Jackson. We'll toss
dirt on all of that and much more as we

(00:47):
stagger to the microphones here in.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
Our number two.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
The QB shuffle normally not something you get at this
point on the calendar, but we got it.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
We have a quarterback change.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Well come in the beginning of another hour of the
Ben Malors Show.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
We are in the air everywhere making life interesting as
we are between two fires trying to figure out which
one to put out coast to coast border, the border
and beyond on the mast and unfathomably powerful microphones of
fs are ambinating.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
Live from the room.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
As in the jury room where we deliberate the sporting
news of the day. We are broadcasting live from the
ti raq dot com studios.

Tyraq dot com. The Way Tire Buying show be headline
from life Shake up with the Rams Now. The Rams

(02:04):
aren't playing this weekend. They didn't play last weekend either,
although they were scheduled to play, chose to have an
extra bye week. At least their quarterback who started last week.
So shake up at the quarterback room. If you didn't
see this, maybe not. We learned at the La Rams
are signing free agent quarterback Carson Wentz, who had been

(02:27):
unemployed all off season and through the first nine weeks
of the NFL regular season. Carson Wentz joining the Rams
at the same time the Rams.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
Fired Brent Rippin among other roster moves.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
But we only care about the quarterbacks of Carson Wentz,
who is now going to join his fourth team in
four seasons. That's a four x four. You can get
that at In and out Burger. That's a four x
four with a side of animal style fries. And Carson
Wentz will have a chance to be the prime backup,
which means with Humpty dumpty at quarterback Matthew Stafford. It

(03:06):
is fair to say that Carson Wentz, if you gave
me one thousand dollars, I will bet he starts multiple
games for the Rams the rest of the season. But
after one start, the Rams said bye bye to Brent Ripping.
They got rid of Brent Rippin. They guys said, you're
out of here, Brent, get out of here, go away,
all right, So let us discuss the question. Explain what

(03:29):
the Carson Wentz move tells us about the Rams. So
I've got lipstick, Wiener mobile and song lyrics, and we're
gonna put all of these things together. We're gonna lock
them together like legos. Is what we're going to do now,
Number W. My first thought here, this tells you the

(03:55):
listener that the power of sports radio in the overnight
is alive.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
And well, I gave a sermon.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
A couple of days ago about how bad the Rams
quarterback was I said, you must treat this like a kicker.
If a kicker misses two or three field goals, what
do you do? You release the kicker and bring in
another kicker. And it turns out someone with power from

(04:25):
the Rams was listening and I am this show is
the Ben Malor show is the shadow general manager of
the La Rams. You see, Ripping was a puke in
your mouth type of quarterback against the green Bay Packers. Hey,
keep in mind, this is not a good team. The
Packers defense, green Bay's defense, they played like they had

(04:48):
Reggie White, Clay Matthews, Leroy Butler running around the reality
is that none of those people on the field. So
it is a good job by the Rams front off
as treating the nephew of Mark Rippin like a Kleenex.
Single use, blow your nose, get all that that snod,

(05:10):
all that mucus, all that puss out of your nose,
and dispose of the Kleenex. Now where do you see
Carson Wentz going with the Rams? Direct deposit? That's where
I see him go. He's getting paid again, right, This
is another salvage and recovery mission for Sean McVay. We're

(05:30):
in that era of Ram football, and I'm fine with it.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
I'm not upset by this.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
You know, there's a shiny trophy, the hardest super Bowl
ever won. You could argue a couple of years ago
by the LA Rams, and they have that, and so
that's why a couple of down years. I'm okay with that.
At least it's gonna be interesting. It was not interesting
with ripping. And Sean mcvay's running a quarterback school. You
know how, if you're a coach and you fall on

(05:57):
hard times, you go to Tuscaloosa because Nick Saban tries
to help you out. Well, if you're a quarterback you're
down on your lock, you go to Los Angeles to
play for Sean McVay.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
And McVeigh will attempt to do what he does with
all these quarterbacks.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Put lipstick on a pig, and he will be getting
a lot of lipstick to put on the pig. And
Carson Wentz see Baker Mayfield last season, and Baker wasn't
great with the Rams, but he did show out a
little bit enough to get him an opportunity in Tampa Bay.
And so now it is Carson Wentz turn. As he
goes into the proverbial batter's box. Wentz went two and

(06:33):
five as a starter for the Commanders. Last season, he's
broken down. He's a shell of what he had been.
I was there when Carson wentz career went off the tracks.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
I was at the game. I saw it. I was
a witness.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
It was the twenty seventeen season, the LA Coliseum, Big Game,
Rams in Philadelphia, Eagles, Snap Crackle, pop down, goes Carson Wentz.
He could not even walk up the tunnel at the
Coliseum in La. They needed a golf cart. The Rams
up were the opponent that day. The Eagle locker room
was like a more. They assumed their season was over.

(07:10):
Little did they know that Manna from heaven would drop
down as Nick Foles took over and led that team
to a championship. But that was the end of Carson
Wentz as we know it, and I'm glad anybody but
Brent ripping A warm body is all that is required.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
The Rams are on the bye week here, so Sean McVay.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
It is expected Matthew Stafford will be back for Week eleven,
but Carson Wentz will end.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
Up playing gear on teed.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
It would be a massive upset if he doesn't end
up starting a game.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
Or two the final part of the schedule. All right,
pace two headline.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
We go to Dallas, where we are told the Cowboys
have agreed to terms with wide receiver Martavius Bryant.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
He's gonna join their practice squad.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
But that's just a clerical move, expected to be on
the big boy roster soon enough. Does that name ring
a bell? Does the name Martavius Bryant ring a bell?
Depends how old you are, depends how close you follow
this stuff. But Bryant last played in the NFL in
twenty eighteen. He would have liked to have played in
twenty nineteen, in twenty twenty and twenty twenty one. In

(08:20):
twenty twenty two, but he was suspended. Now he last
played team football in the XFL. So where does Martavius
Bryant end up in the Cowboys hierarchy?

Speaker 1 (08:35):
I'm glad you asked.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
Bryant is in the the seat driving the Oscar Meyer
Wiener Mobile.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
He's driving the Wiener mobile.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
Because this is roster filler, just like you'd getting a
hot dog.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
Eat those filler ingredients, the byproducts.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
He's inexpensive of low quality, very little nutritional value to
fill out the roster. But there's a chance. I'm saying,
there's a chance this guy could be good.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
Now, that's it.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
Bryant is as thirsty as a fish taken from the
Gulf of Mexico, right, you very that water and played
a while big time football. Jerry Jones loves guys like this.
I loves picking up players like this, taking flyers on
random guys that have great.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
Measurables but have not played in a while. He did
this in twenty twenty.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
The Cowboys added Alden Smith after he had not played
in the NFL for four seasons, and Bryant gets a
fresh start. And it also tells you that Jerry is
concerned about the wide receivers for the Cowboys that he's
hoping to catch lightning in a bottle.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
Final point.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
We head now to the headline in Cleveland, where Brown's
defensive end Miles Garrett, has ruffled some feather.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
Say what now?

Speaker 2 (09:54):
Miles Garrett was asked which quarterback is better right now?
It's not some podcast he was at which quarterback is.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
Better right now? Between Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson. Did
you hear what he said?

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Perhaps not, Miles Garrett, He's a poet and he doesn't
even know it. Miles Garrett picked Joe Burrow, saying, when
he's healthy, he's one of those guys that can light
you up each and every night.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
Well, that's a generic quote. Of course, you have that
reaction and people are up in arms.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
Did Miles Garrett make a tactical error by naming Joe
Burrow as a better quarterback over Lamar Jackson? Should he
be worried? Should the Browns be worried they play Baltimore
this week? Survey says, what the damn do? That's what

(10:51):
the survey says, not at all. As the song lyrics go,
this is why we can't have nice things. We want honesty,
and then you get honesty and it's a inferno. It's
not days inferno. So for the seven people in the
back of the room that are a hyperventilating, I don't

(11:11):
think Ohio Ali is, but some of those other guys
from Cleveland that area stop hyper ventilate. Bulletin board material
is pointless. Now I have already debunked momentum. We proven
time and again there is no such thing as momentum. Finally,
people are coming around to the right side of history.
When it comes to momentum in sports, there is none

(11:33):
of that. Bulletin Board material is a cousin of Uncle Mo.
Now Uncle Mo does not exist. Mo in Brooklyn right,
who calls the show. He exists, but actual, the term
used in sports, does not exist. And bulletin board material,
it doesn't matter. It's how you do in the moment

(11:53):
that matters. I remember back of the old days when
Jim Rome was popular in radio and it smacked talk.
That was a big deal in the world, and people
made a whole lot about the players who were talking
smack and all that.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
And it doesn't matter how much you.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
Talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk
doesn't matter. Okay, it's not going to help you if
you don't get the job, if you don't play well right,
if your team goes there she blows, it doesn't matter.
If you don't have the talent, you're not ready to play,
it doesn't matter. So it's all nonsense. And by the way,

(12:31):
Miles Jarret's not wrong. Joe Burrow is better than Lamar Jackson.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
He didn't lie.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
It wasn't an outrageous statement. Joe Burrows on a burner
right now. In terms of production week after week. Now,
that doesn't guarantee that Burrow is gonna play well this week,
because there is no such thing as momentum. But for
the last month, Joe Burrow has been on an all
time great run at quarterback for the Cincinnati football team.
That's a fact, Jack, or whatever your name. It is

Len I direct tested rights, and he says, the only
Ohio judge I want to hear ray NFL quarterbacks is
Dick in Dayton. Of course, everyone is a distant second
to Bernie Kozar.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
That's about right. That's not wrong, Dixter.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
They called me for a guy that never won the
Super Bowl. Bernie Coozar is the gold standard for the
Cleveland Browns, for Dick and Dayton. Midnight Walker writes in
says hot hot dogs taste great, but what are they made.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
Of their chalk full of mystery meat?

Speaker 2 (15:45):
Martavius Bryant's an NFL hot dog and Dallas just plucked
this dude right off the street.

Speaker 1 (15:52):
I had a Glizzie in my mouth. Okay, good for you.

Speaker 2 (15:56):
Just Josh writes In says I can only think of
one time in my life where bulletin board material.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
Launched a team into the postseason.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
Hey, low, how'd you like to coach the Cleveland Indians
this year?

Speaker 8 (16:11):
Well?

Speaker 9 (16:11):
That did work.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
That's true in Hollywood. It works in Hollywood, it does work.
Who else do we have page Dawn Shane in Des
Moinese says that Mark, the full name guy, is the
caller of the year. He says, the whiney eyed Southern
boy is the worst caller of the year. All right,

(16:34):
let's find out. We call him Dad Gummett. Right now,
let's go to Dad Gummett who is in Arkansas driving around,
and Shane and the Moynes just said, you're the worst
caller on the show, Dad Gummett.

Speaker 10 (16:46):
You know, if I worried about shame, man, I'll be
here every day. Get me a roll of talk every
white my eyes out. I mean, he's a private message
to tell you about all his problems. Man, go get
some freaking help. But I got the ball team with
freaking criminals and drug addicts, and they got more sense.

(17:06):
But anyway, being of car talking about him, I called
and talked about sports. Besides are you gonna.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
Do a are you doing a sporty phone calls that
we were getting a sporty car.

Speaker 10 (17:17):
I know one thing being I got three bullet holes
in my driver's door right now. They came always to
my seat.

Speaker 1 (17:24):
That does not seem like a good thing here. When
did this happen?

Speaker 10 (17:27):
It must have happened. It must have happened Monday night
or or or Sunday night when I put my truck,
because I was like, oh god, man, I got bullet
holes my driver's door. But it's it's one of it.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
You were not in the You were not in the
rig when it got hit them.

Speaker 10 (17:43):
No, at this time, I wasn't. But I kind of
skoked every town I've been going through just if it
was there, you know what I mean. I just didn't
paint no tissues, I guess. But I tell you what,
I've been lucky twenty five years. It's been some knuckwebs
out here at my time, you know. But anyway, you
don't be able to tell you something about this Carson well,
you know Carson things. When I woke up and seen that,

(18:04):
I really wasn't mad and frustrated, because you know, there's
some real knuckleheads out there right now. Need a job.
I mean, the bill that the knee bender, he would
take a job. They give you more. But there's so
many guys at there right now.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
But he usually getting rid of Brett Rippon is a positive. Right,
Getting rid of ripping is is a good thing. So
I like the this guy can't play, ripping sucks, so
they fired him, and that's good. That's a good You know,
Carson Wentz can't play, but at least he's closer to

(18:36):
being decent than Brett Riffing is.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
How about that?

Speaker 10 (18:40):
Yeah, because you know we got we got Matt Stafford
and I think you might agree with this a little bit.
But you know, he's got a contract. It's kind of
killed us. You know, we can get rid of that
contract and show him somewhere else. I'm gonna tell you
right now.

Speaker 2 (18:54):
The contracts now, the rams will a couple of years,
will be fine. It's don't don't buy the the salary
kappus crap, the kap is crap.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
I'm one of those guys, Come on now.

Speaker 10 (19:05):
Yeah, yeah, had a bunch of times, you know, but
it just one of them. Thanks. It seem like we
always scret the bottom of buck We need to we
need a sound drop for that. It seems like we
always scret the bottle of bucket. Sometimes get these quarterbacks
and I don't know, Carson, I mean, look what he did.
You brought up, You brought up all of gold. What
he did back was you know what the equals a
few years ago.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
That's a long time ago as a long he's not
he's not good.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
It'll be better. All the Rams need is average. And
this is the thing and the real reason that the
Rams had to get rid of Brett Rippon. He had
two stud playmakers in Cooper Cup and Pooka Nakua. He
couldn't get him the ball. All Carson Wentz has to
do is run a rudimentary offense when he's in there,
and he will start some games with the Rams.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
Just run a rudimentary offense. Just throw the ball, short passes,
underneath passes.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
Get the ball to the receivers and let them create
play yards and all that and Ripping couldn't do it.

Speaker 1 (19:59):
I don't think whence is any good, but you should
be able to do that.

Speaker 10 (20:03):
I just think we're gonna keep going to nursing Home
getting all these broke down players. I mean, my god,
just go out here and get your popcorn vengers and
let him be the quarterback. Give him a chance. They
got a quarterback after that came from ar Tennessee balls
last year. I would love to give him a chance.
To rams a hooker, you know.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
But I know, man, thing, if there's one thing La needs,
it's another hooker.

Speaker 10 (20:27):
I'm all, I'm all in, all right, right man, But
I still think we need pick him with the alligator
man and put one battle man on there and let
him pick these things, because you got Paul now trying
to pick stuff and Poppy, bless his heart, him and
his chicken needs to go by the home.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
Yeah, we we were gonna, as you know, Dad, gummut,
you've listened every night, we.

Speaker 1 (20:48):
Were gonna do what we did with ab Abigail the
chicken from Michigan.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
We had Abigail to chicken and Poppy and then Poppy
had to screw it up. I would have I would
have done it every week. It would have been a
highlighted been the show. But Poppy had to do his
own thing. And I hope it's going well for him
on the internet.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
I'm sure it's going very well. He didn't need our show.
He's fine.

Speaker 10 (21:08):
Well, I appreciate you, man, and all right, all right
for the old days there, Sam, throw me a blow up,
sound out. I ain't heard that a long time, throwing
a blow up out there.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
He would like to be blown up.

Speaker 10 (21:19):
He would like, Sam, there you blowing up.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
Damn alligator, Damn alligator. We need Van the One Legged
Bama Man to call in. I hope he's all right,
Damn alligator.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
Van the one Legged Bamamn famously called up. And if
you remember, he had his leg bitten off by a
gator and then they ate the gator, which is the
most masculine thing you can possibly do, and Van the
One Legged Bamba.

Speaker 1 (21:52):
Man did it. But that that's for another time.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
So we have an NFL version of American Greed toreally
good documentary series American Greed, and this involves a former
NFL player, Earl Thomas. Is it true that Earl Thomas
lost almost two million dollars in identity theft scheme ran

(22:19):
by the lover of his ex wife. That his ex
wife found a new guy and she started hooking up
with a con artist who ripped off Earl Thomas of
one point nine million dollars. That's the allegation. What a

(22:40):
wild So I was reading about this earlier. It's crazy
and I don't want to get too far into the weeds.
But according to the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office, there was
an arrest made. This actually goes back a couple of months,
but this guy's accused of a number of offenses identity theft, forgery,
money honoring, credit card fraud, computer fraud, bank fraud, any

(23:04):
kind of fraud. Despite all of those charges, because we
live in the age where you cannot really be punished
for your crime anymore, this guy that did all that
stuff was released on bond. He got out and Earl
Thomas and his wife divorced in twenty twenty after she
accused Thomas of cheating and pulling a gun on him

(23:30):
after finding out about.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
Some interesting activities there.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
But Earl Thomas also a great SoundBite if you remember
back in the day the interesting story involving his brother,
which was a wild tale that apparently he and his
brother were enjoying how would you call it, I don't know,

(23:57):
their own version of the round robin.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
I guess in the bedroom. They were having a good
time there with some some other folks. Yeah, a tag team, Yeah,
they were a tag team. Yeah, there you go, tag team.

Speaker 9 (24:08):
Gross.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
It was a two on one situation, I think, well,
his brother, yeah, there was a third person person.

Speaker 9 (24:19):
In but I mean that's weird though, she was.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
She was. I guess you could call her the go between.

Speaker 9 (24:23):
Mommoys, but Mammoy said, share your toys like that.

Speaker 10 (24:30):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
We talked about that story for several weeks on the show.
It was quite quite the tail. All right, well, people
move on.

Speaker 4 (24:40):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
We had to the tabloid world where an NBA player.

Speaker 2 (24:49):
Has been asked about a wild rumor that he spent
five hundred.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
Thousand dollars on a single date with someone named Ice Spice.
Who is Ice Spice?

Speaker 11 (25:05):
Do we?

Speaker 1 (25:06):
I do not know who this person is? Who is
Ice Spice?

Speaker 12 (25:09):
A female wrapper? Okay, pop artist Ice Spice. She's relatively new,
but she's in a she was in a commercial ben
affleck recently.

Speaker 1 (25:16):
So let me let me look her up here.

Speaker 12 (25:18):
You know, you know she usually has like orangish reddish hair.
Any of her music have no idea?

Speaker 2 (25:25):
Okay, I typed her name into the search engine. The
first thing that came up was Ice Spice twerking. So
I think I might know why the rumor is out there.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
Uh yeah, every photo is.

Speaker 2 (25:36):
For shaking her her dairy air or it took us
right there. Her mother must be so proud, and her
father as well well. Jordan Poole of the Washington Wizards
has denied denied the rumor. During a meet and greet
a Wizards fan meet and greet, Pool said definitely not.

(25:59):
He was asked about the rumor, he said, it's cap.
The rumor's been going on for several months, and the
rumor was that Jordan Pole spent five hundred thousand dollars
on a single date with this young lady named Ice Spice.
And then there was some profanity in there, and the

(26:21):
guy was like, go back and figure it out there
you go, it looks crazy, you know.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
He said it's not true, So that doesn't mean he didn't.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
Spend four hundred thousand dollars or five hundred and fifty
thousand dollars. Anyway, let's go to the folds. Phil is
in Cleveland. Hello Phil, did you know who Ice Spice was?

Speaker 1 (26:41):
Phil?

Speaker 10 (26:42):
I have never heard of Ice Spie.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
Yeah, neither of.

Speaker 12 (26:45):
I kind of sounds like I spies like Ice Spice.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
I have no idea who that is. You like your
Ice Spicy, Ben, I'm sure, but I don't know, I
got no.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
Idea, and I'm usually, as you know, I'm very up
pop culture, but this one I did not know.

Speaker 1 (27:03):
Anyway, what's on your mind?

Speaker 10 (27:05):
I got it.

Speaker 8 (27:06):
I'll tell you what, Maggie, uh, And I just want
to give you guys praise and everything. You guys made
Maggie like feel like she was a real star. I mean,
she still talked about fake fans. She told me she
got a hold of you a couple of months ago,
Twitter and whatnot. I don't keep up with them, but
she wants us to call in here before the end

(27:28):
of the year. So I'm gonna take a night off
and we're gonna do that.

Speaker 1 (27:32):
But well, i'd love to I'd love to do that.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
Now, for those who don't know the story, Phil, you
would drive around I think was on on the weekend show,
and you would deliver newspapers.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
Right. Is that why you were awake late at night
on the weekend.

Speaker 10 (27:44):
That's correct.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
Yes, Phil would deliver newspapers.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
And he brought his little cute daughter around with him
and would drive around.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
And this was during a period of time.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
Lebron left the Calves to go to Miami and in
a very sweet, innocent little girl voice. Maggie got on
the radio show and let's flash back on the Hot
Tough Time Machine. Here's how it sounded back in the day.

Speaker 5 (28:18):
Wow, but I appreciate that.

Speaker 2 (28:23):
Yeah, but little little Maggie's all grown up now, right, Phil,
She's she's no longer a little kid.

Speaker 1 (28:28):
She's almost all grown up.

Speaker 8 (28:30):
She was eight years old when we called in. I
can't believe it's been thirteen years. But yeah, she's married
to a Ravens fan. Believed or not.

Speaker 1 (28:37):
Well, we always make right decisions. But that's all right,
you know, it happens.

Speaker 8 (28:42):
He's a good kids. I got a granddaughter now, Maggie
had a little one.

Speaker 1 (28:46):
So, oh my god, Maggie's had a kid. I unbelievable,
look at this.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
Yeah, now we got to get hurt like we it'd
be like a generational thing, Phil, Right, we gotta get
your granddaughter to call in in a couple of years.
Next next time Lebron does something to upset people and
we can we can.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
Have some fun with that.

Speaker 8 (29:02):
So I'll tell you what. I appreciate you, all man.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
All right, Well, thank you, Phil, say hi to to Maggie.
We will let us know, give us some advanced notice.
We'll have you, we'll have you on all right.

Speaker 8 (29:12):
Thank you, all right, I appreciate you guys, Thank you.

Speaker 1 (29:15):
All right, thank you Phil. Then, oh so good. I
can't believe it's been that long. We have the years
gone here. It's just nuts man. Things is fly fly bye.

Speaker 9 (29:32):
I'm assuming that was during an advice line.

Speaker 12 (29:35):
Yeah, that's what I was hearing some some William tell
in there.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:40):
Yeah, and then she she called she was on the
air a few times, but that was that particular drop
was from me instead advice line. It is the Ben
Mather Show. We're gonna have Mallard of the third degree.
That is right around the corner of time. Now for
the instant tribute though here it is Blank leads the
NFL with eight point eight passing yards per attempt when

(30:02):
under pressure this season.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
Again, Blank leads the entire NFL.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
Averaging eight point eight passing yards per attempt when under
pressure this season. That is the insta tribua the answer.
We'll get to it and we will.

Speaker 1 (30:18):
Do it next.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
This is by request.

Speaker 2 (30:57):
Djiosam playing this tune on request by listener Mason and
Huntington Beach.

Speaker 1 (31:04):
We are told, is that correct? That is correct? That
is correct?

Speaker 9 (31:08):
I love the oldies. I thought I'd slipped this in
here at some point.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
It's good tune. I like it this tune. How far
does this go back? This is an old time? I
don't know.

Speaker 12 (31:19):
That was probably like the nineteen fifties. Uh, you know
it's sorely missing in uh and I know.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
Really what if you want to be happy?

Speaker 9 (31:25):
Is that that's correct? It's Jimmy Soul if you it says.

Speaker 1 (31:29):
It was recorded in nineteen sixty three.

Speaker 12 (31:32):
Okay it was fears off, but yeah, I know it
really wouldn't fit in a lot of music in today's
music and how pop music sounds. But the saxophone solo
is sorely missing in a lot of music today.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
We don't get a lot of do wop in modern
music scene.

Speaker 12 (31:48):
You don't get an actual lot of like instruments being
played in today's music. So there's a lot of screaming,
there's a lot of uh, there's a lot of mumbling
and screaming and synth.

Speaker 9 (31:58):
Yeah, bad beats, back of.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
The old days. I like this. I don't think I've
heard the song before, so it makes me happy. Jimmy
Sole Nice.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
It is the Ben Maller Show, thanks to listener Mason Done.
Now for the always popular Insta trivia, we have Mallard
of the third degree. Blank leads the NFL with eight
point eight passing yards per attempt when under pressure this season.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
That is the question. What is the answer?

Speaker 2 (32:32):
Does anyone in the malin militia know the answer? Let's
see your page? Uh the artist Sports Talk going with
Troy Aikman as his answer. Benito the cowboy fan, says
the instat trivia winner. The answer is Charleston White and
that is the correct answer. Martine bro Dure from Shane
and de Wine. Ethan Zuckerman, creator of pop up ads

(32:56):
from alf the Alien opinter a not so fun fact.
So we can thank Ethan Zuckerman for inventing those pop
up ads.

Speaker 9 (33:04):
Wow, thanks a lot.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
A guy that created a horrific piece of advertising. And
he looks like someone who would do that to put
a imagine that being your legacy, that you have ruined
the Internet.

Speaker 1 (33:20):
That's Ethan Zuckerman right there. Congratulations Jimmy Jiminy Cricket from
Cowboy Killer. That is his answer. Brock Purty tossed out
by Matt the Warrior Raider fan. Who else do we have?

Speaker 2 (33:33):
Kirko chains from Midnight Walker and Syracuse. We've got Vladd
the Impaler, who is five hundred and ninety.

Speaker 1 (33:41):
Two years old today. Happy birthday, Ladd the Impaler.

Speaker 2 (33:44):
Pretty impressive that you've been dead for over five hundred,
almost six hundred years and people still know who you are.
Downtonio Wingfield from Bay City, Tony the Former Sonic.

Speaker 1 (33:57):
Here's a name we have not heard in some time.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
Reason it has to be Johnny manziel Our buddy Mark
in Santa Monica. Ernie the Great Ol' Piner guess by
just Josh. Ernie the Great O'piner quit the show in
a bluster, and one of the the legacies of Ernie
is alf the ambul Pine. We had the Muppet, we
had the Muppet invasion, the great Muppet takeover of the show,
which upset Ernie ed from spokanees going with Danny DeVito

(34:24):
as his answer. My man ed not afraid of any ladders,
double o, Mexican and San Diego, says C. J.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
Stroud.

Speaker 2 (34:32):
The correct answer, though Blank leads the NFL with eight
point eight yards pass per pass attempt went under pressure
this season. The answer la more Jackson, Lamar Jackson. If
your Baltimore Ravens, who played one of the top defenses
statistically the number one defensive dvoa the Cleveland Browns this

(34:53):
weekend and eight defensive struggle.

Speaker 3 (34:55):
Here we go, Here we go, Here we go.

Speaker 4 (35:01):
This is one big fan gets krill.

Speaker 1 (35:04):
And we bring in the coop the lou.

Speaker 11 (35:09):
It was announced on Monday that Kyler Murray will start
for the Cardinals this week barring any setbacks. Now, Ben,
we know you aren't a fan of Murray, but.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
Oh I'm fair when it comes to Kyler Murray. What
are you talking?

Speaker 9 (35:21):
Sure? But will he make the team better than they
have been?

Speaker 2 (35:25):
So the way I will answer this question, Alligator Arms
Murray is better than the tool bag they had playing
quarterback in Arizona last week against the Cleveland Browns.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
So yes, but you could put a bag of manure
from home depot under center and that would have been
better than who they had playing quarterback last week for
the Arizona football team. Kyler Murray will.

Speaker 2 (35:45):
Get some fantasy numbers because the Cardinals are behind in
most games, and the Cardinals will end up losing because
they're trying to lose.

Speaker 1 (35:53):
They're trying to get the number one overall pick.

Speaker 2 (35:55):
The main thing for Kyler Murray, though, Alligator Arms Murray
is he's got a showcase his miniature skill set for
the rest of the NFL because he will be on
the trading block as soon as the season ends. Teams
like Atlanta and Tennessee and teams that will be changing
quarterbacks after the year, we'll have to decide whether they
want to make a run at Kyler Murray the Patriots
as well.

Speaker 11 (36:15):
Next Steve Kerr revealed in an interview that he will
step down from coaching USA basketball after the twenty twenty
four Olympics, Ben, who could you see as the next
coach to take over that spot?

Speaker 1 (36:27):
So this comes down to popularity.

Speaker 2 (36:28):
Steve Kerr was part of the Popovich coaching tree and
in that circle, so he was the hot name the
afterglow of Golden State success.

Speaker 1 (36:37):
I'd go right now, among.

Speaker 2 (36:38):
Coaches you gotta have experience, I'd go Eric Spolstro of Miami.
I'd put him as my favorite with a wink and
a nod to Nick Nurse, well respected and Rick Carlisle.
Those would be my big three next.

Speaker 11 (36:51):
The finalists for baseball's MVPs were announced on Monday. Sho
Heyo Tani is a shoe in for the LMVP. But
foran LMVP, it's down to Mookie Bets, Freddie Freeman and
Ronald A. Kunaj Ben do either of those Dodgers have
a chance.

Speaker 2 (37:03):
They have a chance, but they're not gonna win. Ronald
Lacuna Junior is gonna be the MVP. He's got a
time shown time zone advantage. He had the great Fantasy
stat statistical domination year. He also turned into mister may
Alkuna in the playoffs like Mookie Bats, but Mookie and
Freddie are gonna split the vote, so I don't expect
them to win the electoral college.

Speaker 1 (37:21):
How did we do, Kubaloup?

Speaker 9 (37:22):
You pass this edition?

Speaker 2 (37:23):
That is another one the all times win king. Nobody's
won more of malor th third degree than the all
time wins King mal a third degree
