of the Week, actual jokes from actual listeners. But our
lead this hour coming from college football. Now we're going
to talk about the Michigans scandal. Are we gonna do

(02:29):
a deep dive on what's going on with Jim Harbaugh? No, no, sorry,
keg drinking Steve who whined last hour, No, we're not.
But we do have a hum dinger, a hum dinger
of a story from the Southeastern Conference. The mantras that
we have we a lot of dopey mantras doing this show,

(02:52):
but one of the mantras that we've picked up over
the years is we go where the news of the
day takes us. And one of the neat things about
this oh are you're talking about the same things every day.

Speaker 5 (03:01):
No, we're not.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
No wake up and whatever's bouncing around the echo chamber,
we latch onto that catches my attention.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
We go there.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
For example, this humdinger of a story in the Southeastern Conference.
Attorneys for Lane Kiffin, that's a college football coach at
ol Miss, have filed legal papers to dismiss a pending lawsuit.
There was a player that filed the lawsuit, defensive tackle
Decento Rollins. Never heard of him, but this cat said

(03:36):
that he was kicked off the ole Miss team for
missing practices. Okay, his missing practices and meetings. He says
he had a mental health crisis. Now he's suing the university.
This seems pretty reasonable. He's suing Lane Kiffin for ten
million dollars in compensatory damages. He would also like thirty
million dollars impunitive damages. He's playing the race card from

(03:59):
the bottom of the Now the bombshell. Here the player
recorded and apparently in Mississippi you are allowed to do this.
You're not allowed to do this in a lot of states.
It depends on your jurisdiction. But in Mississippi, pparently this
is allowed. The player was wired and recorded Lane Kiffen
without the coach's knowledge, and the audio was leaked and

(04:22):
it's amazing.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
It's unreal audio.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
This is from front Office Sports, a sports business website.
They got the audio first and rather than me do
the play by play on this, just sit back and enjoy.
This is a private conversation between the head coach of
the Old Miss football team and a player named De
Santo Rollins.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
Let's go to the audio tape.

Speaker 6 (04:47):
If you would have come here when you kept getting
messages the head coach wants to talk to you, and
you saying I'm not ready to talk to him.

Speaker 7 (04:54):
I wasn't well where.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
Ald you live in oh So you got to be disrespectful.
Get out of here.

Speaker 6 (05:01):
Go go, You're off the team if you're.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Done see here, see you?

Speaker 5 (05:05):
Because I see you?

Speaker 6 (05:06):
Go go and guess what. We can kick you off
the team. Let just go read your rights about mental health.
We can kick you off the team for not showing
up when the head coach has to meet with you
and you don't show up for weeks. Okay, we can
remove you from the team. It's called me to hanging

(05:26):
behind and not showing up to work.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
Whoa spicy bam boom. Now what do you think the
reaction has been from the wakesters? Yes, they are out
rings right, this is Lane Kiffin has been barbecued.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
You're unsympathetic. You don't appreciate mental health. What's wrong with you?

Speaker 2 (05:49):
So I want to discuss the question old miss football
coach Lane Kiffin under fire for the leaked audio. Which
way are you leaning on this story? So I have
a bad poker face. I am smiling from ear to ear.

(06:09):
I have a cheshire cat smile for Lane Kiffin. I'm
on team Kiffen on this one. I've got Skunk, Sleepy Hollow,
and Sharonay and we will lock all of these things
together and we are going to make a stool pigeon?
Which is which is what this de Santo rollins is?

(06:30):
I give Lane Kiffen a major thumbs up on this.
I do number one. The player was trying to get
the dirt to win money from Lane Kiffin. The reason
that conversation was recorded. It was a money grab. And

(06:52):
while Lane Kiffin was loud, I say, bravo, this was
a breath of fresh air. I don't think he was
out of bounds on what he said over the years,
we have been very critical of Lane Kiffin on this show.
Really was upset when he coached sc We approved of
him being fired at the airport. But he's dropping in
on this conversation. The way it was handled, I thought

(07:14):
it was a masterclass. Lane Kiffin was the adult in
the room. There's there's zero accountability for so many people
in this world today, and here he's got an athlete
that didn't show up the practice, did not contact the
coach for multiple weeks. Can you imagine ghosting your head

(07:34):
coach and thinking that's not a problem, Like, even if
you've got some mental health issues you're dealing with, you
still have to communicate. You know, in what world, what
civilized world? Are you allowed to just vanish? And did
Lane Kiffin read him the riot Act? Absolutely, the full audio.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
We played a clip of it.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
But when he said, you know what, what in the
effing world? Old, what effing world do you live in?
It was wonderful, It was great. And then he I'll
clean up the language because we're on radio. There's a
lot of kids listening here in the middle of the night.
He said, it's called being a pussy cat, shall we say?
And then he said This is my favorite line. It's

(08:20):
called hiding behind poopy Yeah he said the S word
and not showing up to work. Lane Kiffin used his
schnazola on this one. If it smells like a skunk,
it's probably a skunk. And the mental health excuse is

(08:40):
the number one get out of any kind of accountability
in your life card.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
Today.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
We saw it with Ben Simmons in the NBA where
he took like two years off, couldn't play.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
And all that.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
You're never allowed to question it. It is verboten if
you question the credibility of someone who makes that claim.
And what Lane Kiffin did is he took his harpoon
gun out and said haha uh and I say for all,
miss give this man an extension. I loved it, especially
considering the player was trying.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
To bait him.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
It's like, it's like not the same example. But I
used to love this TV show I don't think so
anymore called bait. It was called Bait Car, and I
think it was fake, but I love the concept of it. Right,
they'd leave a car unlocked on the street and wait
for some dumb ass to go, you steal the car, and.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
Then they they'd follow them and arrest them anyway.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
Uh now, page two, Here we move away from Oxford, Mississippi.
We go headline Miami, Miami, Miami, where Tyreek Hill has
dropped a drive by hot take on his fledgling podcast,
The Cheetah has declared that the Dolphin's signal caller has.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
Become a franchise quarterback. Did you know that? I didn't know?

Speaker 8 (10:00):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (10:00):
Yes, Here we are November of twenty twenty three, and
Tua Tongue of Iloa is a franchise quarterback. Quote seeing
how much he, meaning Toua has taken ownership of that
position and not just quarterback, franchise quarterback.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
It's a beautiful thing.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
Close quote from Tua talking about Looa's number one fan.
Tyreek Hill, question, are you convinced that Tua Tongue of
Iloa is now the Dolphins franchise quarterback? And after a
minutes long, minutes long investigation, the answer here is.

Speaker 9 (10:40):
No.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
The answer is though Tua Tongue of Byloa is still.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
Floating around the twilight zone.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
It's a gray area. Like Tua's got some really sexy stats.
If you're into stats, if you get all horny over stats,
you're excited about to a tongue of biloa.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
I look at that, and I say, there's a lot
of empty calories here.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
He didn't validate it. I look at those numbers. I
say those are sleepy, hollow stats. They're sleepy and they're hollow.
And when he got the opportunity, He's had three games
against teams we assume are good.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
Now.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
Buffalo right now is a terrible team. They're not a
playoff team in the moment, but at the time they
were considered a heavyweight. And so the Dolphins have played
the Chiefs. They played them last week in Frankfurt, Germany,
played the Eagles in Philly and the Bills in Buffalo.
In those three games, big game hunting, big game hunting,

(11:35):
and Tua has been on a starvation diet tongue by
law against the Chiefs, Eagles, and Bills. Has a passer
rating below ninety, his average yards per attempt below seven,
which is average. He's just another JABBRONI that's all. He is,
garbage in, garbage out. And so to say, I understand

(11:58):
why the cheetah does it ice trying to pump the
tires on his guy and get him a little bit
of money. And all that, and tunguea by LAWA has
been able to avoid injury, which is a big upset.
If you told me before the year that we'd be
sitting here in weekend ten of the NFL season and
to a tongue of by LAO would not end up
in the injury ten missing games, I would have said, Oh,
you're a loser.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
I'll take that bet. He's going to miss some time.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
But he has it, so I will concede that that
is a surprise. But in this chapter of the book,
as I'm reading the book, to a turn, by Law
is in the Jared Goff category of quarterbacks, Rock Purty
system quarterback, not the epitome of a franchise guy. Final

(12:41):
point headline from the blog isphere. Several several eagle eyed
consumers of overnight talk radio reached out.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
To me, did you see? Have you seen?

Speaker 8 (12:53):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (12:53):
You've got to be embarrassed. We tried to tell you.
Why would they do this?

Speaker 2 (12:56):
All of this over a video which is claiming to
show James Harden partying hard after the Clippers lost in Brooklyn.
The video has gone viral on some of the NBA
social media sites, and it's bouncing all over the pinball machine.
So the question should the Clippers be worried about James

(13:17):
Harden partying after a loss? And the answer on this
one is a simple no for multiple reasons. The latest
video I did some investigating. The latest video is a shardonay.
The James Harden video is a shardenay. It's old wine

(13:37):
in a new bottle. That video is not recent. Now
that video is dated. It was repackaged for clicks click
and a click and clout. Now that being said, I
don't doubt that James Harden was out partying in New
York after losses because that's what he does.

Speaker 10 (13:56):
Right.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
Can a zebra change its stripes? No, you traded for
James Harden. You know what you're getting. It's kind of
like if you date a porn star. You can't be
shocked if the porn star is stooping around on you, right,
It's part of the Beard experience.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
So you gotta deal with it. Now.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
You gotta hope that Harden is not completely washed up.
He hasn't been good in the fourth quarter of these
first two games with the Clippers. That's small samples regular
season NBA. We're not gonna really pay attention to this
in full until the playoffs come around, which are in April.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
It's a long way away.

Speaker 2 (14:34):

Speaker 5 (14:47):
So.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
I did mention that the Jim Harbaugh story doesn't really
interest me that much, but there is one nugget from
the Hardened story. I heard about this and I laughed
my ass off. And if you don't laugh at this,
you do not have a sense of humor.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
You don't. We'll get to that, and also some museum madness.
We'll go there as well, and we will.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
It's Ben mallor just Josh Wright said from Cincinnati's a
Brigadier general long standing member. Dues have been paid in
the Mali molsit. She says, I'm I'm gonna stay in
my lane here and say mental.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
Health is no excuse. A darkness retreat would have been
the way to go here. I'm with you. I'm on
team Kiffin. The Sawman.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
Simon says, as a Mississippi resident and Mississippi State fan,
I listened to local radio throughout the day and this
is the first I've heard of the Lane Kiffin story.
No mention on my daily MSU podcast either, shocking. The
kid will probably get some hush money, but he won't

(17:27):
sniff forty million.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
I don't think he's gonna get money.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
I don't think he'll even get hush money because the
audio is already out there, So why would you pay
hush money. You pay hush money so the audio wouldn't
get out. The audio's out, so what's the point of
paying hush money. I don't think he's gonna get anything.
I don't think he's got a leg to stand on
on this. Chris writes in from Boston. He says eight
plus plus on the Malt monologue on Lane Kiffin, hundred

(17:50):
percent in the right kid wouldn't have made it anyways,
definitely tried to bait him. Oh yeah, he had dreams
of how much money he was going to get out
of this if he could just entrap Lane Kiffin to
say the wrong thing. And Jeff writes in from Oklahoma,
says ben I was diagnosed Jeff says, with anxiety, depression,

(18:13):
social anxiety, etc. As an adult, I was considered shy, bashful, etc.
As a kid, welcome, I was too, by the way,
I still am Anyway, I can't imagine using this for
an excuse for not showing up to work. And then
he says this this generation. So here's my position on this.
First of all, I think every generation, my generation, the

(18:36):
generation before me all tried to do this, but the
adults wouldn't let him do it. And now it's like, no,
dear relict, you try to get away with everything, you
get away with the problem is there are certain grownups
that are letting people get away with this bull crap.
And there's a few people that stand up and say
this is ridiculous, Like we can't have a civilized society

(19:00):
where you have you have certain rules you have to follow.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
You can't do that if you just decide to dip
out and not.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
Let people know. You have to communicate. It's just the
way of the world. And there's also a disconnect. I
notice I've met listeners all over the country here from
Maine to Seattle and all over and everywhere I've been.
I don't get the sense that social media is a
good reflection at least of the people that I've met
who listen to the show, like some of the things

(19:27):
that are popular on those platforms. Let's go to the
phones and let's say hello, you need me miney mall.
Let's say hello to Dad Gummet, who's in Arkansas? Hello, Dad, Gummet?

Speaker 4 (19:39):

Ben? Hang on to me? There we go?

Speaker 12 (19:44):
What's going on there? Gummet?

Speaker 1 (19:47):
No, I'm just there to myself?

Speaker 12 (19:51):

here in traffic about forty five minutes they've had a
bad record. I've got eighteen. Willard just racked up in
front of me, man, and I'm setting her listeners. Oh god,

He's just funny, man.

all life lessons you learned in kindergarten.

Speaker 12 (20:47):
Wash your he had a good looking.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
You.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
Would you remember your teacher was good looking? You were
home five years old.

Speaker 12 (20:57):
I you remind me of There's a on Twitter and
she does this walk and gives her gives her predictions.
Her name is Lucy. Oh my god, being she is fine.

Speaker 1 (21:09):
You are a lady. I have no idea. I don't
know who Lucy is. I remember, buddy, I love Lucy.
He sounds like you love Lucy.

Speaker 12 (21:20):
Oh she I love her. She's beautiful.

Speaker 10 (21:22):

Speaker 12 (21:26):

he ought to go out there and putting some shorts on,
up his button, shave his legs, and then you can
call him the stroking chicken down the sidewalk man. He
can give his pits and just walk in the shoes.

Speaker 2 (21:40):
Right, sexy lady, I gotta go, all right, I thank you.
Let's say hello to cool Hand. Cool Hand is next, Hello,
cool Hand.

Speaker 10 (21:50):
Hey, good morning, Ben. I want to say that two things.
One I thought about and you mentioned that Mississippi guy,
but Simon Files and how she bowed out of the Olympics,
and pretty much the same thing. She weak minded and
she decided she just couldn't handle it. And I want
to give an example of someone who should get have

(22:12):
gotten the mental health day. Back in fourth grade, I
just said I'd pushed somebody down and I shouldn't have
done that. And the principal came in the classroom and
picked me up on my side burns and carried me
all the way down to his principal's office and commenced
to whipping my ass with a wooden paddle he broke

(22:32):
in half. She opened up the drawer and pulled another
wooden paddle out, and I broke that paddle in half.
After getting my ass whipped, and then he used to
go back to class. I went back to class and
sat on my butt the entire day. It was on fire.
I think that'd be an example of getting someone who
should have gotten the mental health day.

Speaker 2 (22:54):
Another things, I did not expect to hear a childhood
story from a guy named cool hand. You must have
a corporate punishment there, very powerful ass that you broke
two wooden paddles. That's a big ass, he said, fourth grade, right,
and yes, that seems reasonable. Right.

Speaker 1 (23:13):
Maybe he might have a lot of testosterone. He was
a better man than us. I was a kid.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
He had big testosterone and all that.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
That's okay. H wow.

Speaker 4 (23:26):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

Speaker 5 (23:31):
Now, maybe this is the story you were teasing. I
do not know. You said this will put a smile
on your face. Maybe a smile for some a frown
for others. All right, Uh, did you see Lebron James
is opening up a museum to himself.

Speaker 1 (23:50):
So two things. Ay, this is not the story, but
this is a great story. Yes, this is a this
is a wonderful story.

Speaker 5 (23:57):
The Lebron James Foundation announcing that coming up later this month,
November twenty fifth, you can go to the Lebron James
Museum in Akron, Ohio. Yeah, and take a self guided
tour through the life of Lebron James. You will experience
a recreation of the apartment that he grew up in. Wow,

(24:20):
let's see. You can take a tour through through his life.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
Well, will they have the uh remember the car in
high school he was driving around in when he wasn't
supposed to be driving around in it?

Speaker 1 (24:30):
Was it a hummer?

Speaker 5 (24:31):
I believe it was? Yeah, they should.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
Will they have the Lebron's high school hummer?

Speaker 5 (24:35):
They should? Absolutely should. They're gonna have.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
Cut here's the car of Booster base. Yeah, Lebron.

Speaker 5 (24:42):
There will be original items from his time at Saint
Vincent Saint Mary's High School, including the rim and backboard,
the hoop there. Well that's exciting, is it true?

Speaker 10 (24:51):
Eddie?

Speaker 2 (24:52):
They will have the was it the Godfather book? When
people which book was it? They asked him about the book?
He said, he was reading and he was only on
the first page. Remember that that actually happened a couple
of times. Will they have those books there that he
never read?

Speaker 5 (25:04):
I hope so you read. I mean I'd want to
see that.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
Remember how flustered Lebron got when they asked him about.

Speaker 5 (25:09):
The well the man purse one of yes, that.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
Was great against the warriors when he uh, he grabbed
the purse and stood up and he walked off like
a diva. That was so good, And that's been immortalized
on the internet forever.

Speaker 9 (25:24):
Those were two separate things, by the way. Yeah, he
was reading a book and then he couldn't answer a
question about the book. And then he also said that
The Godfather is like his favorite movie and he's seen
it six times. And then they asked him what's your
favorite what's your favorite line from the Godfather?

Speaker 1 (25:37):
Okay, so I confused. I crossed these stories up. There's
so many great Lebron stories.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
So you could have a viewing of The Godfather movie
at the museum.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
You could have that and then you.

Speaker 9 (25:47):
Which book was he And he was like, he was like,
how could how could you pick a line? Like they're
all good classical moves to get out of a jam.

Speaker 5 (25:56):
I mean, they're all great.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
The book I think the book was. It was a
Malcolm X book, Okay, Yeah, And he.

Speaker 2 (26:03):
Would walk around with the book because you know, he
knows he's on cam when he watched in the arena,
so he'd have the book with him and he never
actually read the book.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
It's so good.

Speaker 5 (26:11):
Would anybody voluntarily go through the museum and look at it?
Would anybody on the staff?

Speaker 2 (26:19):
I believe, if I'm not wrong, this is the second
most famous thing in Akron, Ohio. It wasn't Alcoholics Anonymous
founded in Akron, Ohio.

Speaker 5 (26:28):
I did not know that.

Speaker 9 (26:29):
But if I happened to find myself in Akron, Ohio,
yeah i'd go.

Speaker 5 (26:36):
You know, why would I be in Akron, Ohio.

Speaker 13 (26:40):
To visit?

Speaker 1 (26:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (26:43):
Remember a few years ago from very This reminds me
of something in China. Remember when Stefan Marbury went to
China and became a big star there. They actually had
I don't know if they still have it, but they
had a Stefan Marbury museum in China. They a a
Marbury museum because you such a big deal there at
his own museum. And it reminds me of I had
a program director in radio who and I started in

(27:05):
radio when I was young, and he he pointed out
that young people don't make good talk show hosts. They
don't make they're just not because they don't have enough
life experience. Lebron, he's got life experience, but he's not
even forty years old. It's like trying to write a
book or something like that and you haven't really lived
the full life.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
Be Ben.

Speaker 13 (27:25):
You know, if you were going to Akron before two
thousand and eight, you could have visited the historic and
iconic Rubber Bowl. But they moved out of it and
tore it down in eight. So that's where the Zips
used to play, the Rubber Bowl, Akron Zips the Rubber Bowl.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
There you go by the way.

Speaker 5 (27:42):
I found out how the rubber Bowl.

Speaker 13 (27:44):
I found out how a Lebron got that hummer he
got bought it from coach.

Speaker 5 (27:49):
Oh you made a hummer?

Speaker 10 (27:52):
Tell him about it, Jojo.

Speaker 13 (27:54):
There you go throw back when Editors'ron sold Lebron.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
I was doing the when I was doing the Rumor
website and Lebron was in high school and I was
putting stories up, and I remember he that that story
of him driving.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
Around the Hummer was was what I remember the spin
because back then you weren't allowed like now you can.
You made a you can do whatever you want.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
I mean, you got Shade Sanders, Shadier Sanders of Colorados
driving around a four hundred thousand dollars Rolls Royce.

Speaker 13 (28:19):
Apparently he makes like five million dollars a year, or
he did this year.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
So there did you see that the campus police put
a boot on his car?

Speaker 1 (28:27):
One hundred thousand dollars they.

Speaker 13 (28:29):
Could like unpaid campus parking tickets. He has enough money
to buy that watch back five hundred times over and
pay for these parking tickets.

Speaker 1 (28:41):
How happy must that have camp, that campus cop.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
Have been when they put the boot on Suders Sanders car,
because you know that's his car, right, nobody else's car.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
It's got to be his car.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
Who else in Boulder, Colorado is driving around a car
like that. So here's the story that I absolutely love.
It involves Jim Harbaugh and the Michigan signs stealing scandal.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
And when I saw this, I laughed my ass off.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
So there's a letter from Jim Harbaugh's lawyer, and the letter,
according to people that have been following the story much
more closely than me. The attorney for Jim Harbaugh, the
letter that he wrote was plagiarized off a message board
post in a in the letter to the Big ten

(29:30):
the guy took a bunch of crap off a Michigan
message board in this ten page letter the attorney for
Harbaugh sent and it was off of a message board.
That is outstanding. That's that's good legal work. That is

(29:51):
good good legal work. Just go on Reddit and see
if you can find some interesting posts there and then
just boom, you're on your way.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
Hey, you're good to go in that one.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
How much you think Harbaugh's paying his attorney to take
crap off ready and repackaging?

Speaker 1 (30:08):
I don't know. Let's go to Let's go to Mike.
Who's next? It is the The Ben Maler Show. Do
I need to tell people about insurance? Iawa Sam? Do
I need to do this? Please? Yes?

Speaker 1 (30:44):
Hello Mike, Hello, Ben.

Speaker 8 (30:49):
I want to talk about Dano dogs contract for four
years for one d and sixty three million dollars. Now,
the guy on Sport three, yell before you. He just said,
before injury, Daniel Jones was the worst quarterback in the NFL.

(31:12):
What do you think, man?

Speaker 2 (31:16):
He wasn't the worst quarterback in the NFL, but he
was on the list. He was on like the short
list of worst.

Speaker 1 (31:22):
I like that.

Speaker 2 (31:23):
You've been listening to the Fox Sports radio for at
least three hours though.

Speaker 1 (31:28):
I like that. That's good time spent listening.

Speaker 10 (31:29):
Mike, are you there?

Speaker 1 (31:32):
No, he's gone, yeah, Okay, thank you now, Daniel Jones six.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
And the thing about the contract which blows me away
is the Giants, even though they won a bunch of
games last year, it was a fluke.

Speaker 1 (31:42):
They've been proved to be frauds this year. That last
year was a fluke.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
And then you look at the passing offense for the Giants,
which if I'm not mistaken, was twenty sixth in the NFL.
So you won games not because of your passing offense,
but you still rewarded your quarterback, who is the mitro,
the conductor of the passing offense, with a new contract
when everyone said, don't do it.

Speaker 1 (32:05):
But you were afraid of fomo. You were the fear
of missing out.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
You were worried that Daniel Jones was gonna run off
to some other team and become a star, and you
would have looked like schmucks, so you gave him the contracts.
That's what that is all about. Fomo fomo is a
very powerful thing. You cannot stop the fomo foe mo.

Speaker 1 (32:27):
It is the Ben Mahler Show. We are going to
have Mallard of the thirty degree.

time now for the install trivia the insta trivia and
Blank has the most losses for a quarterback in games

(34:45):
when his team scores thirty seven or more points. This
goes back to nineteen fifty and does anyone know the answer.
Let's see here, We'll go to the poll.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
The people.

Speaker 2 (35:01):
Just Josh had a brilliant idea for the Lebron Museum.
He said they should have a special wing dedicated to
a certain guard that used to play for the Cavaliers
Delonte West. I think that would be the most interesting
part of the Lebron Museum. Can you imagine that the
interactive part of that at Lebron's museum with the Delonte
West wing. Anyway, the answer is Alfie alien Ol Pinter

(35:23):
is going with mister t as his answer. Josh Allen
from Wally in Florida. Mister Peanut from Cowboy Killer Skeeter
in Montana was guested by Late Night drug tester Wayne
Twitchell from Mister Nice Guy in the Bay. Earl Morrile
from Voodoo head Lice, Michael Angelo, the teenage Mutant, Ninja

(35:43):
Turtle from Ferg Dog Back to being a Dog Master
Blaster from Donkey Sausage.

Speaker 1 (35:50):
Who else do we have?

Speaker 2 (35:51):
Page Down Warren Moon Guessed by Matt the Warrior, Raid
Rays Fan Eric Kramer from Eke in Rosvio, Minnesota.

Speaker 1 (35:58):
Rory's going with John Elway. Who else do we have?

Speaker 2 (36:02):
Josh Allen guess by Justin Also Chris Pronger Hartford Whaler
legend from Shane in Des Moines. Tim from so Callan
Fountain Valleys is Roman Gabriel? Is the answer here?

Speaker 5 (36:15):
In So Cal?

Speaker 4 (36:17):
Eddie?

Speaker 1 (36:17):
Do you have an answer?

Speaker 5 (36:19):
Eddie?

Speaker 1 (36:19):
Please?

Speaker 5 (36:19):
I do it? Is a former Akron legend and Cleveland
Brown's all time great quarterback, Charlie Frye.

Speaker 1 (36:26):
Charlie fry Is it Charlie Frye?

Speaker 4 (36:28):
Who No?

Speaker 5 (36:31):
No?

Speaker 2 (36:32):
The correct answer, Eddie, the man with the most loss.
There are three answers were acceptable. The one that's currently
playing is the one we were looking for is Baker Mayfield,
who has lost four games. He's tied for the all
time record with Carson Palmer and Drew Brees, but Baker Mayfield.
In eleven games where his team has scored thirty seven
or more, he's lost four of them, and the other

(36:54):
guy's had twenty or fifty games.

Speaker 1 (36:55):
Here we Go, Here we Go is one big gets
grilled Coolo.

Speaker 9 (37:06):
Packers guard John Runyon was called for an offside penalty
twice last Sunday against the Rams, both times during a
quarterback sneak. Runyan said later that the league is slowly
trying to phase out quarterback sneaks by calling off sides
differently than they ever have before. Ben, do you think
the league is trying to phase out quarterback sneaks?

Speaker 2 (37:23):
So my first thought is this is I normally would
say this is hearsay, there's nothing to this, But on
this one, I think there is something to it. I'll
tell you why if I'm not mistaken. John Runyan's old
man is the vice president of Rules and Regulations for
the NFL, So I'm guessing at a family dinner. This
came up in conversations, so I think there is actually

(37:43):
something to this. They're worried about concussions and lawsuits.

Speaker 9 (37:46):
Next, Lamar Jackson is on pace to accomplish something only
achieved by one quarterback since the AFL NFL merger. As
of now, Jackson leads all quarterbacks in completion percentage and
rushing yards.

Speaker 5 (37:57):
Only Steve Young led the league in both.

Speaker 9 (37:59):
Categories in the single season back in nineteen ninety four, Ben,
do you think he does it?

Speaker 5 (38:04):
No?

Speaker 1 (38:05):
No, smart money says no, Lamar. You've got the Browns
coming up.

Speaker 2 (38:09):
Also, the Ravens have to play the Niners, who should
get their act together, and Jacksonville.

Speaker 1 (38:15):
So there's some tougher opponents down the line.

Speaker 2 (38:17):
And you always bet against the record. You always bet
against the record because you have two ways to win.
You have injury or underperformance, and usually end up winning
in the end aka a slump.

Speaker 9 (38:27):
Next to Philadelphia, seventy six Ers are six and one
in the top of the Eastern Conference following a big
win against the Celtics on Wednesday, Ben, do you think
it is an addition by subtraction situation with James Harden
no longer in Philly?

Speaker 1 (38:39):
Well, so far it has.

Speaker 2 (38:40):
Been Harden looks like a stiff with the Clippers, and
Tyrese Maxie's been great in Philadelphia. It's small sample size though.
Is Philly gonna beat Boston in a seven game series? No,
but they're certainly looking pretty good with Nick nurse right now,
so I'll give him credit.

Speaker 1 (38:55):
How do we know that is a win?
