Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we are. Wel come in. It's our number one,
our one of the Ben Malors Show podcast, an award
winning podcast, not that we've ever actually won any awards
from iHeart or anyone associated with broadcasting, but since you
have sent me some nice emails, some of you on
(00:20):
a regular basis, about how much you enjoy the podcast
and it's part of your daily routine, that makes me
feel like I've won an award. So take that, big
corporate media. So here in hour number one is Brandon
Staley in the danger zone with the Chargers. Also, what
does the Steve Wilkes move to the sidelines tell us
about the forty nine ers mindset? And how does the
(00:42):
future look for Ryan Tannehill after being benched in Tennessee.
We go down all of those avenues and more right
now here it is our number one, another night and
more gossip and innuendo from the NFL world about a
certain coach or two, the moving and the shaking. Welcome
(01:08):
in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show.
A brand Smanking new edition. As we are in the
air everywhere using audio frequency. As we say, a mind
is a terrible thing to waste coast to coast, sport
of the border and beyond on the mass and monolithically
(01:30):
powerful microphones of fs are amminating live from the wave,
the microwave of hot takes. You give us thirty seconds,
we will give you marginal hot takes. In the world
of sports. We'll do it all night long. As we
(01:54):
are hanging out in our lead this hour, calling from
the electric company, we parse the news of the day.
We pars the news of the day. Story bouncing around
cross my radar from La La Land. You got my attention,
so I thought we'd start with this. It involves the Bolts.
(02:16):
Now you might have seen this, maybe nine. There's some chatter,
you know. I love chatter. I live for the chatter.
I'm all about the chatter. I need the chatter in
my veins, in my veins, I need the chatter. So
the chatter that the Chargers, who are four and four,
they have a coach, Brandon Staley, who has apparently been
(02:39):
given some kind of ultimatum. At least that's the noise
that there's an ultimatum for Brandon state they know what
would that be? The belief within NFL circles. I love
that is that Brandon Staley. I was reading this. He
needs to lead a winner in year three or higaw,
he will not survive as the head coach of the Chargers. Now,
(03:02):
if you look at your NFL standings right now, at
five hundred record, the Chargers are on pace to not
make the postseason, and if that were to happen, they
would miss the Plaoffs for the second time in three
seasons with Brandon Staley at the helm. And when they
did make the playoffs, it was a hum dinger, a
hum dinger of an exit. All right, So let us
discuss the question. We'll keep it simple. This is not
(03:25):
that hard. Is Brandon Staley in the danger zone when
it comes to the Chargers? That's the noise, right, there's
people already connecting Bill Belichick to the Charger job. The
Belichick's gonna exit New England and then fly on a
private jet across the country land in LA and I
guess he's gonna go surf and then maybe we'll walk
(03:46):
around Venice Beach and then take over the Chargers job.
So is Brandon Staley in the danger zone for the Chargers?
I got meow mix, boom box and meat balls, and
we will combine all of these things together, and we
are going to make some chicken nuggets. Why not the
(04:06):
chicken nugget the great creation. I had no idea that
chicken had nuggets, but just wonderful, all right, So ah,
I will believe that Brandon Staley is going to lose
his job. When Brandon Staley loses his job, we already
fired him on this show. So we have the bully
pulpit as far as workers ser he's already lost his job.
(04:27):
We fired Brandon Staley. But turns out the chargers are
operated differently, and the report that is bouncing around is
fuel filled with weasel terminology. They a lot of weasel
pop goes to weasel, a lot of weasel terminology. For example,
you're telling me an NFL coach is expected to put
(04:47):
a winning team on the field. That is a shocking ultimatum.
What teams don't have that ultimatum? Well, what are the
lists of teams? But we don't really care if you
have a winning product on the field. That is the
epitome of edgy reporting. What was your source on that?
My god? But Brandon Staley, in all seriousness, is snacking
(05:09):
on mew mix meow he's eating meal mixed and I'll
tell you why. He's a kiddy cat with nine lives,
a pussy cat with nine lives he is. And just
like a cat, he's got the he's got those reflexes.
He can twist around in mid air and escape danger.
But the fact that he's still coaching shows you the
(05:32):
lack of commitment by the Charger franchise that he's still
the head coach. They had a twenty seven nothing lead
in a playoff game to Jacksonville and gave it all away.
And he's supposed to be a defensive whiz kid, defensive
James my fat ass, and he kept his job. It's embarrassing.
And the reason he kept his job is because the
(05:53):
ownership class in the Chargers organization. They're cheap, they're the
frugal franchise, and so the idea that they're gonna get
rid of Staley, he should have already been let go.
But then they're gonna go and h like Belichick, who
I'm assuming is not going to work pro bono if
he were to be hired by a team other than
(06:13):
the Patriots. It's just it's it's complete nonsense. Staley should
be be like Oh, he's not doing a good job.
You don't get credit for beating the Jets, who blow,
and the Chicago Bears, who suck. Uh, let's see it.
Let's see him beat the Lions. That's a real team,
the Detroit Lions this weekend. All right, now, Pat Due,
we head now to chaos in the Bay. Chaos in
(06:36):
the Bay. What does the Steve Wilkes move.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Do?
Speaker 1 (06:43):
What does it mean?
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Now?
Speaker 1 (06:44):
If you didn't see this, many set this up before
we get to that. So Kyle Shanahan is cranking up
the volume. He's cranking up the volume there in San Francisco.
Steve Wilks, and the defensive coordinator for the Niners has
been pushed down to the field, no longer hanging out
in the coach's box. So what does it mean that
defensive coidinator Steve Wilkes has been put on the field?
(07:07):
What does that tell us about the forty nine or mindset?
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Right?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
So, it tells us that the volume on the boom box,
which is playing Indigo Girls, Shame on You, has been
cranked up. Shame on you, pointing the finger of shame,
a scathing indictment of Steve Wilks. And also a tell
and you don't need me to tell you, but I'll
do it anyway for those that are heavily inebriated or
(07:34):
trying to sleep. So every man, woman and child with
an IQ above thirty would be able to tell you
that the forty nine Ers coaching staff, the head coach,
and the front office are placing responsibility on Steve Wilks,
that they are giving a mulligan to their quarterback Rock Purty.
(07:57):
They're blaming the defense. And so yes, the finger of
blame I'm pointing at you. The finger of blame has
been put on Steve Wilkes. And from the outside you
look at the Niner defense and they got the big names,
Fred Warner, total stud Nick Bosa, Hall of Fame player,
other big names. You know. The last month, as the
(08:19):
Niners have lost three games in a row, their defense
is ranked in the last month thirty first in the NFL.
There's only thirty two teams the thirty first in the NFL,
and so that is where the blame is right now.
So Wilkes is being tasked with, like you gotta go
down there and fix this. This is on you. That's
(08:40):
on you, tough guy, and that is the Mike Tomlin punishment.
Remember Tomlin, we talked about this, I think it was
last week we discussed this, that the Steelers offense had
been the quality of fertilizer, and so what did Tomlin do.
Tomlin punished Matt Canada by putting him on the sidelines
(09:02):
and did that work. No Steelers won, but their offense
sucked in that game. Also against Tennessee, it went very good.
It was pretty bad. So San Francisco now they got
a date with Jacksonville this weekend. That that is an
awesome game because Jacksonville's on the come right now, they've
been kicking some ass and then you got the Niners
(09:23):
who are going the other direction and the Niners getting
their guys back. So does that mean everything's fine now?
And brock Party is a system quarterback? We've all we
were right about that take. We win that take that
brock Party is a system guy and so now he's
got the guys back, so he can play in the
system and be fine.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
All right?
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Last word headline. We go to Tennessee, the music city
where the Titans. We talked about this earlier in the week.
They have elevated Will Levis as QB one and they
benched Ryan Tannehill. He has been dismissed as these darding
corpa like it'sh me be the backup now. Tannehill was
not thrilled about this latest development, as you might have guessed.
(10:07):
You didn't need really him to tell you. But he
said it hit hard. That was the quote. It hit hard.
He said, He's never been in this situation before, never
a situation anyone wants to be in it, but he's
in it. So how does the future look, Almighty sous Sayer,
the one with the crystal ball, distant relative of no
(10:28):
stre Dama's friend of Nostrudina's, how does the future look
for Ryan Tannehill after being benched in Tennessee. So the
forecast is cloudy with a chance of meat balls. That's
the forecast right now. And it's a gummy situation. The
reason it's a gummy situation Ryan Tannehill has let his
(10:51):
play do the talking. And he's playing like someone that
should be playing golf, not football. That's a problem. And
by any reasonable measurement, whether it's statistically or watching highlights
or watching him just play in general, it does not
(11:12):
just whisper, It screams washed up, washed up, and so
the future for Ryan Tannehill if he chooses to keep
playing after this year, we assume he will. There's a
lot of money to be a backup quarterback in the NFL,
but he will go on the quarterback Merry go round,
round and round and round and round goes the quarterback
(11:35):
Mary go round. Ryan Tannehill can be the Kabata boy
for Patrick Mahomes if he wants to back up next
year in Kansas City, or he can maybe even start
the Patriots. Why not, they have no quarterback there in
New England. But his days as a bona fide QB
(11:55):
one Ryan Tannehill on a team that can sniff play
contention is over. And it's a great indictment of the
entire Tennessee Titans franchise that they wasted what had been
some pretty good teams with a total stiff at quarterback
in Ryan Tannil. Can you tell me when Tannehill played
(12:16):
well in big games. I'll sit back and I'll take
your comment off the air because I don't recall it.
I don't recall every time I remember Tannehill in a
playoff game. He was the problem. He was the problem,
and so Tennessee bet on the wrong horse. They bet
on the wrong horse, and that's the fact. All right.
It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you would like
to be part of this speakeasy, rules are still in effect,
(12:40):
but you can call up, scream, shout, yell all that
give us a bus. Operators are standing by and you
can be part of the fun. Part of the fun.
You know, I am a absolute sucker for rhythmic chanting. We
got that. And also later this hour, at some point,
(13:00):
we'll get to it. Some very powerful sports executives have
been writing the vomit comment this week, and we'll explain
what that is all about. It's hilarious in my head.
It's just one of the great stories of all time.
We'll get to that. We will do it next.

whether you're here or not. Show goes on. Drew Ri says,
cutting logs and drinking paps blue ribbon in the Mile
High City. Well, good luck through. Here's that by you? Yes, exactly.
So I do love rhythmic chanting, and we got some
(15:31):
rhythmic chanting. We got a little bit of rhythmic chanting.
It happened in the NBA. It was the second act
for James Harden. A system. He doesn't fit into a system.
He is the system, James Harden. And the people see
the Clippers playing a disheveled Brooklyn Nets team. And I
(15:54):
did not watch all of this game. I have somewhat
of a life, but I did watch the key parts
of it, the second half and for the second consecutive game.
James Harden and the Clippers did a vanishing act in
the fourth quarter. It's a two point game going to
the fourth quarter against a NETS team that was without
(16:14):
a couple of the big big bazoukas. And so you've
got Kawhi Leonard, Hall of Famer, Paul George Hall of famer,
You've got Zubat's Hall of Famer, James Harden, hall of famer,
Russell Westbrook hall of famers. Got five Hall of famers
on the court in the fourth quarter of an NBA game.
And what happens. The Clippers commit seven turnovers. Harden had
(16:41):
three of them by himself. Pished a shutout in the
fourth quarter, and the three amigos Paul George, Kawhi Leonard,
and James Harden combined in that quarter basketball. He took
nine shots and they made two of them, two of
(17:02):
nine from the flour and they were outscoring. They lost
the game. But that's not the story. Don't bear the lead,
my man, all right, we won't bear the lead. So
the lead here was the Brooklyn fan, the very wealthy
Brooklyn fan, Because you can't get into a NETS game
unless you're uber rich or you know somebody is so
James Harden, an ex Brooklyn nite, making his return there.
(17:25):
The fans welcomed him to the Barclay Center there as
they decided to serenade him. Now I love a good serenade.
And in the first quarter, early on in the game,
James Harden's at the foul line and the crowd what
do you think they chanted? You think it was like
f Harden? What do you think boot him? Nah? Well
(17:51):
this is pretty good Harden. As he was at the
charity stripe, the crowd at the arena there in Brooklyn
started chanting, Oh Mary darro Mary. Yeah. Now that's that's hilarious.
That is just wonderful. That is great. I love it.
(18:14):
I don't know who started it, but good job by them.
You might remember James Harden. Over the last about a year,
James Harden has spoken many times about Darryl Mory being
a liar as compared to a bad marriage. And so
there were the fans of the Nets serenading James Hard.
(18:37):
I tried to find a clean copy because I don't
want the the stupid idiot announcers for the Yes Network
to ruin my chant because we have a chant I'll
tell you what a good like urban mayry, the urban
Meyer chant clean, loud, there's no announcers talking over Urban right,
(19:00):
it's a great chance. But we don't need the announcers
talking over. So I tried to find I cannot find.
If anybody has a copy of that, let us know.
I would like to save that. I have a collection
of rhythmic channing. It's in fact my name. I was
lucky enough at a mallor event we did in Seattle
(19:20):
several years back. Our buddy Ed and Spokane had a
bullhorn and was chanting, chanting my name, both as we
were walking around the streets of Seattle, but also we
went to the the Seahawks Stadium, which now has a
different name than it did then, and there was a
big crowd out in front of people tailgating and schmoozing
(19:41):
and drinking and all that, and he was doing some
chance right there, and it was it was wonderful. That
was right there. That's it, right there, Yeah there, you
can see that right there. He did the he did
the whole like that thing. What is that called the
(20:02):
in between? Ah? What is that? Play it again? Verbal percussion?
Speaker 8 (20:07):
This is our friend, I think there's actually like a
button on there you can or you can just click
the trigger and it'll do that.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Far that's a profession. That's my hype guy. I had him.
I had Jay Scoop who's now in the Ukraine. And
Robbie the Mariner fan was at that event. I mean
some big name people in the Mallard militia, some huge
names that were there in the Northwestern contingent, and it
was it was awesome. But so the rhythmic chanting is
my thing, and so I need a copy and you might.
(20:41):
So you're probably upset because it was ripping James Harden. No,
James hard is not a clipper til he wins a game.
I mean he's a loser. Oh and two, right now.
Speaker 9 (20:50):
What about this from a few weeks ago?
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Ben, what's that? It's not one of mine? You know,
like the rhythm of it. No, it's not loud enough
and not passionate enough.
Speaker 9 (21:05):
That those Minnesota fans they hited Iowa. What if we sing?
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Uh? Darryl Moury over that some more by Dean Martin,
Daryl Morey. Everybody now coople loops asking to a shift
to the day. Shift in your face Harden and your face, Harden.
(21:34):
That makes Arrah Moore let the record show. No participation
for Cooper Loop or Eddie the Party Poopers. Why do
you lose only I? And I was saying, I'm an
ideas guy. I want ideas, I want new things. I
want to keep the show fresh.
Speaker 9 (21:52):
Fresh, like a This is.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
A serious radio show, and I like good content and
that I think that was good content. And the fact
certain people chose not to participate says it says more
about them. It's a you problem. You got a meat problem.
You're gonna find a good meat.
Speaker 9 (22:05):
The ball when you go to Brooklyn. You know you'll
find a Google the spicy meat the Ball.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Unpopular opinion. I've eaten at the two most popular pizza
places in Brooklyn. Not good. Was not impressed. It was
not impressed. Brooklyn pizza overrated. Unpopular opinion, but true. I've
had it. My brother lives in New York. I've gone
there for twenty plus years, probably closer to thirty years.
I've gone to New York and didn't think it was
that great. Now there's a couple of pizza places in
(22:31):
Manhattan I thought were pretty good, but the Brooklyn ones
not that much. And the one that really got me
in trouble. I think the reason we're banned from local
New York radio is because I pointed out that Kirkland
brand pizza better than Brooklyn Pizza. A Kirkland brand pie
from Costco from Washington. Yeah, in Washington.
Speaker 8 (22:49):
Yeah, I know, I know, we all know that maybe
maybe the maybe the cooks originated it there, the chefs.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
It's an assembly line, the Costco pizza thing. That's the
way to go.
Speaker 8 (23:01):
I'd like to believe there's still some old mobsters in
New York who are like ninety years old and passols
recipes down from their mothers and grandmothers. I'd like to
believe that there's still some good, you know, pizza in Italian.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
I'm sure there are. My friends from New York always
say they say it's the water. They say it's the
water and light New York limestone or something. I look
at the water, like in the Hudson River, I say,
that's disgusting. I don't want anything to do with that.
Bodies have been tossed into those rivers, the East River,
and it means disgusting. That's so horrible.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
My mom found three bodies growing up. What's that is
that my mom found three bodies growing up as a kid.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Where did she grow up Brooklyn? Oh?
Speaker 9 (23:38):
She did really, so that's trumaticy and not all at
the same time.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Was this in the like the seventies? When was that?
Speaker 9 (23:50):
Eighties? Sixties?
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Seventies, seventies Okay, yeah, I heard seventies. I heard it
was wild in New York, Like it was just Sopranos,
like real life, like guys were getting gunned down on
right and left and it was you know.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
That's That's actually how it came up in conversation with
my mom because I just rewatched The Sopranos and just
just yesterday.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
And I love that.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
And I was talking to her and she was like,
She's like, yeah, I love that show. That was my
life like growing up, like.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
I have four gobba ghol drops.
Speaker 7 (24:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Like the Mob. I wish the Mob. I don't want
him in New York, but I wish they ran Vegas.
Still you get free, free parking and be great. The
Mob really knew how to run Vegas. I don't get
who he's connected to.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Tell him to take his feet off the table. What
do you think this is a sawdust joint?
Speaker 9 (24:37):
Have to worry about cheaters exactly.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
These take you downstairs, they give you the baseball bat
to the knees, they take carry there, but they drop
you in the what's that dam out there in the desert.
They take you out to the hoober Dam. Yeah, they're
dropping on the hoober dam out there. I think.

to Tillio in Florida. Hello, TiO, Hey man, tell you
if I was any better, I would be a dolphin,
but not a Miami Dolphin because they don't play well
(26:11):
against good teams.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Yeah, you're right. I'm not a Dolphins Sam, I'm a
New Jersey transplant, so I still loop it up.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
I just had to take a shot at the Dolphins.
Are you're a Giants fan?
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Yeah, I grew up in New Jersey.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Mike, Mike and Dolens.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Oh please, it's it's it's it's horrendous. But listen, this
is funny. I don't know what it is, but my radar.
I wake up right around three am and I put
the radium on it. Bernie frandles on, Well, Bernie's running
the contest, and guess who calls in? Your boy Poppy.
The first thing he says to Bernie is Bernie, can
(26:48):
you please call Ben and have him let me play
picking with the chicken. It was just terrible, but he
wasn't like the scumback from Arkansas. I heat wine and Bernie,
Bernie is a ment. He said, he loves you. He
said nothing but praise for you. And I'm thinking Bernie
has no clue. What the hell is fock o?
Speaker 4 (27:09):
Dare you?
Speaker 7 (27:09):
That was?
Speaker 1 (27:10):
That was the greatest take Bernie ever had right there.
I take you I didn't hear it, but from what
you've described, that's an amazing take by Bertie.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
And well, the funny thing is Poppy calls in because
he's in and he was in the running for the
to win the contest. Well, the one time they asked
him was they give him a softball question. What sport
do you use a shuttle cock in? It was the
only time I heard Poppy speech was it was like
you can see it to the radio if you're court
in the headline.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Well, I don't if you know this, Tillio, but our
guy Eddie's that's one of his nicknames. The shuttle cock
of sports Talk. That's one of his nicknames.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Yeah, yes, but oh I didn't want to tell you
a quick story if you have time about Grabba Hole.
I was a kid. I'm Italian. I grew up in
north Well. We're in the local corner market where they
sell stuff, and me and my friend I was about
ten years old and looking up at the list of
co coach and I said to my friend, what is Capacola?
So the older guy behind us says, that's.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
What is that.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
We just looked at each other and we're like, it
doesn't it's not still that way. We couldn't figure right out.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
That's great. I love that. The life of a kid
learning the world from old dudes just sticking it to you.
That's just great.
Speaker 9 (28:27):
It's delicious, that's what it is.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Yeah, it is very good. You have to have it
on your Italian subs.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
There you go, all right, then you tell you all right,
all right, go away, there you go. It's the Ben Marshall.
So some sports executives writing the vomit comment we take
you down to the Valley of the Sun. Is more
than thirty of the three hundred or so officials who
(28:53):
were in attendance at the General Manager meetings. Came down
with some kind of ailment at the GM meetings, and
it was so bad Baseball canceled the remainder of the
GM meetings. And I'm not sure if this happened the
way it sounds to me in my head in the
(29:14):
cartoon bubble in my head, I imagine the GM meetings
at some swanky Scottsdale resort and the GM of the
Twins on one side, the assistent general manager of the
Phillies over there, the analytical guy of the Cincinnati Reds,
(29:35):
and they're all puking. They're all riding the vomit common.
That's that's pretty good. Now. The rumor was it was
like some kind of food problem. They were serving some
food there that had some kind of issue. But now
they're claiming that it's a virus rather than a food
(29:56):
born illness. But how do they know for sure? I
don't know for sure. So yeah, a lot of I
guess it wasn't uh picking with Poppy. It was picking
with Poopy. It would be what they were playing there
at the GM meetings. But they've ended those early, so
quite the quite the same. Well, let's talk tray, No,
I gotta leave here. I gotta I gotta go a vomit.
(30:19):
I can I bring a bucket with me? Yeah, it
makes me want to. They did say there was a
lunch buffet and that that was the meal they all shared,
so maybe it might have been the But now they're
saying it might it might have been something else. Sounds
like they don't know. Baseball was asked for comment. They
took a line comment, I wonder why. All right, it
is the Ben Malor Show as we continue on and
(30:43):
the Gut Show on the loose. We'll get to that
in a bit time. Now for the who am I? Game?
Jimmy Garoppolo, Jimmy Garoppolo and I have missed the most

Jimmy Garoppolo and I have missed the most career starts
to do danger among all active quarterbacks in the NFL
(31:05):
as of this moment, Who am I? The answer next?
And I literally almost threw up. Yeah, it's really bad.

I put me and Gene up there with al Michaels
and Vince Scully the mount. Not that we do Mount Rushmore,
but if you were to do a Mount Rushmore, you'd
have to put me and Gene Oakland on there, who

Speaker 1 (33:51):
Who else we have Scott and Rhode Islands going with
Judge Judy Jeff Passing. Who Yeah, I saw that report
that he said Ron Washington gets another. I think he
said ship. Well, he might have said something else that
ends with a T. But yeah, that was pretty good.
That's good journalism, you know. I guess he can't afford
(34:14):
the to edit. Alligator Arms Murray guests by double Ow Mexican.
There's a good photo of alligator Arms Murray, Sidney Crosby
from Shane in Des Moines. Joe Theisman guessed by Rob

We won't read that on the air. He's very happy
that the caller mentioned his name. Eddie. Do you have
(34:35):
an answer Eddie to the who am I? Game? Jimmy
Garoppolo and I have missed the most career starts due
to injury among all active QBS.
Speaker 7 (34:43):
Let's go with Tyrod Taylor.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Tyrod Taylor, fine answer, but that is incorrect. Incorrect answer.
You can ram it all day, you can ram it
all night, but you can't play every game. Matthew Stafford.
Matthew Stafford, Jimmy Garoppolo if each missed thirty six games.
Aaron Rodgers is at thirty four. Ryan Tannehill is at
thirty two. Now, as far as the gaucho on the loose,
(35:08):
we are told that Travis Kelcey chiefs not playing this weekend,
but Travis Kelcey will be flying the Friendly Skies heading
to Argentina to watch Taylor Swift the Era's tour. So
I guess he's a real gaucho. Rai's an Argentinian cowboys
out there, Kelsey and good food I hear in Argentina.
I've never been, though good stake
Here we are. Wel come in. It's our number one,
our one of the Ben Malors Show podcast, an award
winning podcast, not that we've ever actually won any awards
from iHeart or anyone associated with broadcasting, but since you
have sent me some nice emails, some of you on
(00:20):
a regular basis, about how much you enjoy the podcast
and it's part of your daily routine, that makes me
feel like I've won an award. So take that, big
corporate media. So here in hour number one is Brandon
Staley in the danger zone with the Chargers. Also, what
does the Steve Wilkes move to the sidelines tell us
about the forty nine ers mindset? And how does the
(00:42):
future look for Ryan Tannehill after being benched in Tennessee.
We go down all of those avenues and more right
now here it is our number one, another night and
more gossip and innuendo from the NFL world about a
certain coach or two, the moving and the shaking. Welcome
(01:08):
in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show.
A brand Smanking new edition. As we are in the
air everywhere using audio frequency. As we say, a mind
is a terrible thing to waste coast to coast, sport
of the border and beyond on the mass and monolithically
(01:30):
powerful microphones of fs are amminating live from the wave,
the microwave of hot takes. You give us thirty seconds,
we will give you marginal hot takes. In the world
of sports. We'll do it all night long. As we
(01:54):
are hanging out in our lead this hour, calling from
the electric company, we parse the news of the day.
We pars the news of the day. Story bouncing around
cross my radar from La La Land. You got my attention,
so I thought we'd start with this. It involves the Bolts.
(02:16):
Now you might have seen this, maybe nine. There's some chatter,
you know. I love chatter. I live for the chatter.
I'm all about the chatter. I need the chatter in
my veins, in my veins, I need the chatter. So
the chatter that the Chargers, who are four and four,
they have a coach, Brandon Staley, who has apparently been
(02:39):
given some kind of ultimatum. At least that's the noise
that there's an ultimatum for Brandon state they know what
would that be? The belief within NFL circles. I love
that is that Brandon Staley. I was reading this. He
needs to lead a winner in year three or higaw,
he will not survive as the head coach of the Chargers. Now,
(03:02):
if you look at your NFL standings right now, at
five hundred record, the Chargers are on pace to not
make the postseason, and if that were to happen, they
would miss the Plaoffs for the second time in three
seasons with Brandon Staley at the helm. And when they
did make the playoffs, it was a hum dinger, a
hum dinger of an exit. All right, So let us
discuss the question. We'll keep it simple. This is not
(03:25):
that hard. Is Brandon Staley in the danger zone when
it comes to the Chargers? That's the noise, right, there's
people already connecting Bill Belichick to the Charger job. The
Belichick's gonna exit New England and then fly on a
private jet across the country land in LA and I
guess he's gonna go surf and then maybe we'll walk
(03:46):
around Venice Beach and then take over the Chargers job.
So is Brandon Staley in the danger zone for the Chargers?
I got meow mix, boom box and meat balls, and
we will combine all of these things together, and we
are going to make some chicken nuggets. Why not the
(04:06):
chicken nugget the great creation. I had no idea that
chicken had nuggets, but just wonderful, all right, So ah,
I will believe that Brandon Staley is going to lose
his job. When Brandon Staley loses his job, we already
fired him on this show. So we have the bully
pulpit as far as workers ser he's already lost his job.
(04:27):
We fired Brandon Staley. But turns out the chargers are
operated differently, and the report that is bouncing around is
fuel filled with weasel terminology. They a lot of weasel
pop goes to weasel, a lot of weasel terminology. For example,
you're telling me an NFL coach is expected to put
(04:47):
a winning team on the field. That is a shocking ultimatum.
What teams don't have that ultimatum? Well, what are the
lists of teams? But we don't really care if you
have a winning product on the field. That is the
epitome of edgy reporting. What was your source on that?
My god? But Brandon Staley, in all seriousness, is snacking
(05:09):
on mew mix meow he's eating meal mixed and I'll
tell you why. He's a kiddy cat with nine lives,
a pussy cat with nine lives he is. And just
like a cat, he's got the he's got those reflexes.
He can twist around in mid air and escape danger.
But the fact that he's still coaching shows you the
(05:32):
lack of commitment by the Charger franchise that he's still
the head coach. They had a twenty seven nothing lead
in a playoff game to Jacksonville and gave it all away.
And he's supposed to be a defensive whiz kid, defensive
James my fat ass, and he kept his job. It's embarrassing.
And the reason he kept his job is because the
(05:53):
ownership class in the Chargers organization. They're cheap, they're the
frugal franchise, and so the idea that they're gonna get
rid of Staley, he should have already been let go.
But then they're gonna go and h like Belichick, who
I'm assuming is not going to work pro bono if
he were to be hired by a team other than
(06:13):
the Patriots. It's just it's it's complete nonsense. Staley should
be be like Oh, he's not doing a good job.
You don't get credit for beating the Jets, who blow,
and the Chicago Bears, who suck. Uh, let's see it.
Let's see him beat the Lions. That's a real team,
the Detroit Lions this weekend. All right, now, Pat Due,
we head now to chaos in the Bay. Chaos in
(06:36):
the Bay. What does the Steve Wilkes move.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Do?
Speaker 1 (06:43):
What does it mean?
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Now?
Speaker 1 (06:44):
If you didn't see this, many set this up before
we get to that. So Kyle Shanahan is cranking up
the volume. He's cranking up the volume there in San Francisco.
Steve Wilks, and the defensive coordinator for the Niners has
been pushed down to the field, no longer hanging out
in the coach's box. So what does it mean that
defensive coidinator Steve Wilkes has been put on the field?
(07:07):
What does that tell us about the forty nine or mindset?
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Right?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
So, it tells us that the volume on the boom box,
which is playing Indigo Girls, Shame on You, has been
cranked up. Shame on you, pointing the finger of shame,
a scathing indictment of Steve Wilks. And also a tell
and you don't need me to tell you, but I'll
do it anyway for those that are heavily inebriated or
(07:34):
trying to sleep. So every man, woman and child with
an IQ above thirty would be able to tell you
that the forty nine Ers coaching staff, the head coach,
and the front office are placing responsibility on Steve Wilks,
that they are giving a mulligan to their quarterback Rock Purty.
(07:57):
They're blaming the defense. And so yes, the finger of
blame I'm pointing at you. The finger of blame has
been put on Steve Wilkes. And from the outside you
look at the Niner defense and they got the big names,
Fred Warner, total stud Nick Bosa, Hall of Fame player,
other big names. You know. The last month, as the
(08:19):
Niners have lost three games in a row, their defense
is ranked in the last month thirty first in the NFL.
There's only thirty two teams the thirty first in the NFL,
and so that is where the blame is right now.
So Wilkes is being tasked with, like you gotta go
down there and fix this. This is on you. That's
(08:40):
on you, tough guy, and that is the Mike Tomlin punishment.
Remember Tomlin, we talked about this, I think it was
last week we discussed this, that the Steelers offense had
been the quality of fertilizer, and so what did Tomlin do.
Tomlin punished Matt Canada by putting him on the sidelines
(09:02):
and did that work. No Steelers won, but their offense
sucked in that game. Also against Tennessee, it went very good.
It was pretty bad. So San Francisco now they got
a date with Jacksonville this weekend. That that is an
awesome game because Jacksonville's on the come right now, they've
been kicking some ass and then you got the Niners
(09:23):
who are going the other direction and the Niners getting
their guys back. So does that mean everything's fine now?
And brock Party is a system quarterback? We've all we
were right about that take. We win that take that
brock Party is a system guy and so now he's
got the guys back, so he can play in the
system and be fine.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
All right?
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Last word headline. We go to Tennessee, the music city
where the Titans. We talked about this earlier in the week.
They have elevated Will Levis as QB one and they
benched Ryan Tannehill. He has been dismissed as these darding
corpa like it'sh me be the backup now. Tannehill was
not thrilled about this latest development, as you might have guessed.
(10:07):
You didn't need really him to tell you. But he
said it hit hard. That was the quote. It hit hard.
He said, He's never been in this situation before, never
a situation anyone wants to be in it, but he's
in it. So how does the future look, Almighty sous Sayer,
the one with the crystal ball, distant relative of no
(10:28):
stre Dama's friend of Nostrudina's, how does the future look
for Ryan Tannehill after being benched in Tennessee. So the
forecast is cloudy with a chance of meat balls. That's
the forecast right now. And it's a gummy situation. The
reason it's a gummy situation Ryan Tannehill has let his
(10:51):
play do the talking. And he's playing like someone that
should be playing golf, not football. That's a problem. And
by any reasonable measurement, whether it's statistically or watching highlights
or watching him just play in general, it does not
(11:12):
just whisper, It screams washed up, washed up, and so
the future for Ryan Tannehill if he chooses to keep
playing after this year, we assume he will. There's a
lot of money to be a backup quarterback in the NFL,
but he will go on the quarterback Merry go round,
round and round and round and round goes the quarterback
(11:35):
Mary go round. Ryan Tannehill can be the Kabata boy
for Patrick Mahomes if he wants to back up next
year in Kansas City, or he can maybe even start
the Patriots. Why not, they have no quarterback there in
New England. But his days as a bona fide QB
(11:55):
one Ryan Tannehill on a team that can sniff play
contention is over. And it's a great indictment of the
entire Tennessee Titans franchise that they wasted what had been
some pretty good teams with a total stiff at quarterback
in Ryan Tannil. Can you tell me when Tannehill played
(12:16):
well in big games. I'll sit back and I'll take
your comment off the air because I don't recall it.
I don't recall every time I remember Tannehill in a
playoff game. He was the problem. He was the problem,
and so Tennessee bet on the wrong horse. They bet
on the wrong horse, and that's the fact. All right.
It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you would like
to be part of this speakeasy, rules are still in effect,
(12:40):
but you can call up, scream, shout, yell all that
give us a bus. Operators are standing by and you
can be part of the fun. Part of the fun.
You know, I am a absolute sucker for rhythmic chanting. We
got that. And also later this hour, at some point,
(13:00):
we'll get to it. Some very powerful sports executives have
been writing the vomit comment this week, and we'll explain
what that is all about. It's hilarious in my head.
It's just one of the great stories of all time.
We'll get to that. We will do it next.

cutting logs and drinking paps blue ribbon in the Mile
High City. Well, good luck through. Here's that by you? Yes, exactly.
So I do love rhythmic chanting, and we got some
(15:31):
rhythmic chanting. We got a little bit of rhythmic chanting.
It happened in the NBA. It was the second act
for James Harden. A system. He doesn't fit into a system.
He is the system, James Harden. And the people see
the Clippers playing a disheveled Brooklyn Nets team. And I
(15:54):
did not watch all of this game. I have somewhat
of a life, but I did watch the key parts
of it, the second half and for the second consecutive game.
James Harden and the Clippers did a vanishing act in
the fourth quarter. It's a two point game going to
the fourth quarter against a NETS team that was without
(16:14):
a couple of the big big bazoukas. And so you've
got Kawhi Leonard, Hall of Famer, Paul George Hall of famer,
You've got Zubat's Hall of Famer, James Harden, hall of famer,
Russell Westbrook hall of famers. Got five Hall of famers
on the court in the fourth quarter of an NBA game.
And what happens. The Clippers commit seven turnovers. Harden had
(16:41):
three of them by himself. Pished a shutout in the
fourth quarter, and the three amigos Paul George, Kawhi Leonard,
and James Harden combined in that quarter basketball. He took
nine shots and they made two of them, two of
(17:02):
nine from the flour and they were outscoring. They lost
the game. But that's not the story. Don't bear the lead,
my man, all right, we won't bear the lead. So
the lead here was the Brooklyn fan, the very wealthy
Brooklyn fan, Because you can't get into a NETS game
unless you're uber rich or you know somebody is so
James Harden, an ex Brooklyn nite, making his return there.
(17:25):
The fans welcomed him to the Barclay Center there as
they decided to serenade him. Now I love a good serenade.
And in the first quarter, early on in the game,
James Harden's at the foul line and the crowd what
do you think they chanted? You think it was like
f Harden? What do you think boot him? Nah? Well
(17:51):
this is pretty good Harden. As he was at the
charity stripe, the crowd at the arena there in Brooklyn
started chanting, Oh Mary darro Mary. Yeah. Now that's that's hilarious.
That is just wonderful. That is great. I love it.
(18:14):
I don't know who started it, but good job by them.
You might remember James Harden. Over the last about a year,
James Harden has spoken many times about Darryl Mory being
a liar as compared to a bad marriage. And so
there were the fans of the Nets serenading James Hard.
(18:37):
I tried to find a clean copy because I don't
want the the stupid idiot announcers for the Yes Network
to ruin my chant because we have a chant I'll
tell you what a good like urban mayry, the urban
Meyer chant clean, loud, there's no announcers talking over Urban right,
(19:00):
it's a great chance. But we don't need the announcers
talking over. So I tried to find I cannot find.
If anybody has a copy of that, let us know.
I would like to save that. I have a collection
of rhythmic channing. It's in fact my name. I was
lucky enough at a mallor event we did in Seattle
(19:20):
several years back. Our buddy Ed and Spokane had a
bullhorn and was chanting, chanting my name, both as we
were walking around the streets of Seattle, but also we
went to the the Seahawks Stadium, which now has a
different name than it did then, and there was a
big crowd out in front of people tailgating and schmoozing
(19:41):
and drinking and all that, and he was doing some
chance right there, and it was it was wonderful. That
was right there. That's it, right there, Yeah there, you
can see that right there. He did the he did
the whole like that thing. What is that called the
(20:02):
in between? Ah? What is that? Play it again? Verbal percussion?
Speaker 8 (20:07):
This is our friend, I think there's actually like a
button on there you can or you can just click
the trigger and it'll do that.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Far that's a profession. That's my hype guy. I had him.
I had Jay Scoop who's now in the Ukraine. And
Robbie the Mariner fan was at that event. I mean
some big name people in the Mallard militia, some huge
names that were there in the Northwestern contingent, and it
was it was awesome. But so the rhythmic chanting is
my thing, and so I need a copy and you might.
(20:41):
So you're probably upset because it was ripping James Harden. No,
James hard is not a clipper til he wins a game.
I mean he's a loser. Oh and two, right now.
Speaker 9 (20:50):
What about this from a few weeks ago?
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Ben, what's that? It's not one of mine? You know,
like the rhythm of it. No, it's not loud enough
and not passionate enough.
Speaker 9 (21:05):
That those Minnesota fans they hited Iowa. What if we sing?
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Uh? Darryl Moury over that some more by Dean Martin,
Daryl Morey. Everybody now coople loops asking to a shift
to the day. Shift in your face Harden and your face, Harden.
(21:34):
That makes Arrah Moore let the record show. No participation
for Cooper Loop or Eddie the Party Poopers. Why do
you lose only I? And I was saying, I'm an
ideas guy. I want ideas, I want new things. I
want to keep the show fresh.
Speaker 9 (21:52):
Fresh, like a This is.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
A serious radio show, and I like good content and
that I think that was good content. And the fact
certain people chose not to participate says it says more
about them. It's a you problem. You got a meat problem.
You're gonna find a good meat.
Speaker 9 (22:05):
The ball when you go to Brooklyn. You know you'll
find a Google the spicy meat the Ball.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Unpopular opinion. I've eaten at the two most popular pizza
places in Brooklyn. Not good. Was not impressed. It was
not impressed. Brooklyn pizza overrated. Unpopular opinion, but true. I've
had it. My brother lives in New York. I've gone
there for twenty plus years, probably closer to thirty years.
I've gone to New York and didn't think it was
that great. Now there's a couple of pizza places in
(22:31):
Manhattan I thought were pretty good, but the Brooklyn ones
not that much. And the one that really got me
in trouble. I think the reason we're banned from local
New York radio is because I pointed out that Kirkland
brand pizza better than Brooklyn Pizza. A Kirkland brand pie
from Costco from Washington. Yeah, in Washington.
Speaker 8 (22:49):
Yeah, I know, I know, we all know that maybe
maybe the maybe the cooks originated it there, the chefs.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
It's an assembly line, the Costco pizza thing. That's the
way to go.
Speaker 8 (23:01):
I'd like to believe there's still some old mobsters in
New York who are like ninety years old and passols
recipes down from their mothers and grandmothers. I'd like to
believe that there's still some good, you know, pizza in Italian.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
I'm sure there are. My friends from New York always
say they say it's the water. They say it's the
water and light New York limestone or something. I look
at the water, like in the Hudson River, I say,
that's disgusting. I don't want anything to do with that.
Bodies have been tossed into those rivers, the East River,
and it means disgusting. That's so horrible.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
My mom found three bodies growing up. What's that is
that my mom found three bodies growing up as a kid.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Where did she grow up Brooklyn? Oh?
Speaker 9 (23:38):
She did really, so that's trumaticy and not all at
the same time.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Was this in the like the seventies? When was that?
Speaker 9 (23:50):
Eighties? Sixties?
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Seventies, seventies Okay, yeah, I heard seventies. I heard it
was wild in New York, Like it was just Sopranos,
like real life, like guys were getting gunned down on
right and left and it was you know.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
That's That's actually how it came up in conversation with
my mom because I just rewatched The Sopranos and just
just yesterday.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
And I love that.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
And I was talking to her and she was like,
She's like, yeah, I love that show. That was my
life like growing up, like.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
I have four gobba ghol drops.
Speaker 7 (24:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Like the Mob. I wish the Mob. I don't want
him in New York, but I wish they ran Vegas.
Still you get free, free parking and be great. The
Mob really knew how to run Vegas. I don't get
who he's connected to.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Tell him to take his feet off the table. What
do you think this is a sawdust joint?
Speaker 9 (24:37):
Have to worry about cheaters exactly.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
These take you downstairs, they give you the baseball bat
to the knees, they take carry there, but they drop
you in the what's that dam out there in the desert.
They take you out to the hoober Dam. Yeah, they're
dropping on the hoober dam out there. I think.

No.
Speaker 1 (25:04):

the balls to hire him. We're gonna talk more about
that later. But Ron Washington, it's an old guy's game.
Eddie Well, Bruce Bochie, Well, old dude wins the World Series.

Baker won the World Series, but that's not true. That's

the phones and eenie meenie, miney moe. Let's say hello
to Tillio in Florida. Hello, TiO, Hey man, tell you
if I was any better, I would be a dolphin,
but not a Miami Dolphin because they don't play well
(26:11):
against good teams.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Yeah, you're right. I'm not a Dolphins Sam, I'm a
New Jersey transplant, so I still loop it up.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
I just had to take a shot at the Dolphins.
Are you're a Giants fan?
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Yeah, I grew up in New Jersey.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Mike, Mike and Dolens.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Oh please, it's it's it's it's horrendous. But listen, this
is funny. I don't know what it is, but my radar.
I wake up right around three am and I put
the radium on it. Bernie frandles on, Well, Bernie's running
the contest, and guess who calls in? Your boy Poppy.
The first thing he says to Bernie is Bernie, can
(26:48):
you please call Ben and have him let me play
picking with the chicken. It was just terrible, but he
wasn't like the scumback from Arkansas. I heat wine and Bernie,
Bernie is a ment. He said, he loves you. He
said nothing but praise for you. And I'm thinking Bernie
has no clue. What the hell is fock o?
Speaker 4 (27:09):
Dare you?
Speaker 7 (27:09):
That was?
Speaker 1 (27:10):
That was the greatest take Bernie ever had right there.
I take you I didn't hear it, but from what
you've described, that's an amazing take by Bertie.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
And well, the funny thing is Poppy calls in because
he's in and he was in the running for the
to win the contest. Well, the one time they asked
him was they give him a softball question. What sport
do you use a shuttle cock in? It was the
only time I heard Poppy speech was it was like
you can see it to the radio if you're court
in the headline.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Well, I don't if you know this, Tillio, but our
guy Eddie's that's one of his nicknames. The shuttle cock
of sports Talk. That's one of his nicknames.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Yeah, yes, but oh I didn't want to tell you
a quick story if you have time about Grabba Hole.
I was a kid. I'm Italian. I grew up in
north Well. We're in the local corner market where they
sell stuff, and me and my friend I was about
ten years old and looking up at the list of
co coach and I said to my friend, what is Capacola?
So the older guy behind us says, that's.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
What is that.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
We just looked at each other and we're like, it
doesn't it's not still that way. We couldn't figure right out.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
That's great. I love that. The life of a kid
learning the world from old dudes just sticking it to you.
That's just great.
Speaker 9 (28:27):
It's delicious, that's what it is.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Yeah, it is very good. You have to have it
on your Italian subs.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
There you go, all right, then you tell you all right,
all right, go away, there you go. It's the Ben Marshall.
So some sports executives writing the vomit comment we take
you down to the Valley of the Sun. Is more
than thirty of the three hundred or so officials who
(28:53):
were in attendance at the General Manager meetings. Came down
with some kind of ailment at the GM meetings, and
it was so bad Baseball canceled the remainder of the
GM meetings. And I'm not sure if this happened the
way it sounds to me in my head in the
(29:14):
cartoon bubble in my head, I imagine the GM meetings
at some swanky Scottsdale resort and the GM of the
Twins on one side, the assistent general manager of the
Phillies over there, the analytical guy of the Cincinnati Reds,
(29:35):
and they're all puking. They're all riding the vomit common.
That's that's pretty good. Now. The rumor was it was
like some kind of food problem. They were serving some
food there that had some kind of issue. But now
they're claiming that it's a virus rather than a food
(29:56):
born illness. But how do they know for sure? I
don't know for sure. So yeah, a lot of I
guess it wasn't uh picking with Poppy. It was picking
with Poopy. It would be what they were playing there
at the GM meetings. But they've ended those early, so
quite the quite the same. Well, let's talk tray, No,
I gotta leave here. I gotta I gotta go a vomit.
(30:19):
I can I bring a bucket with me? Yeah, it
makes me want to. They did say there was a
lunch buffet and that that was the meal they all shared,
so maybe it might have been the But now they're
saying it might it might have been something else. Sounds
like they don't know. Baseball was asked for comment. They
took a line comment, I wonder why. All right, it
is the Ben Malor Show as we continue on and
(30:43):
the Gut Show on the loose. We'll get to that
in a bit time. Now for the who am I? Game?
Jimmy Garoppolo, Jimmy Garoppolo and I have missed the most
