Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Hello and welcome into the audio dojo. It's the Ben
Mahler Show podcast recorded overnight so you have fresh audio
content on demand. We start with the big Baffosco Monday
night football game. And who gets to wear the shamebell
for the Bills? Is Josh Allen failing as the franchise
(00:23):
quarterback in Buffalo? And true or false? This loss on
Monday Night for all intensive purposes eliminates the Bills from
the playoff race in the AFC. And how has Sean
Payton been able to turn the Broncos fortunes around of late.
We'll talk about that and more right now here. It
(00:46):
is our number one singing the Buffalo Blues.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Well come, in.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
The beginning of another edition of the Ben Malors Show.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
We are in the air.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Everywhere chewing the rag as we know these takes, these
hot takes, we're about to serve up our finger licking
good coast to coast.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Border, the border and beyond.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
On the mast and fantastically powerful microphones of fs are
ambating live from the wittle as we whittle the overnight
hours down. We are broadcasting live from the tire rack
dot Com Studios tyrat dot com well help you get
there at unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard
(01:39):
protection and over ten thousand recommended in stars tyro ract
dot com. The way tire buying shoe me in our
lead this hour, coming from just down the road from
Niagara Falls where the Buffalo roam and don't win. Well,
(02:00):
they were trying to win. We assume plausibly they were
trying to win. But that was the scene for Monday
night football in Western New York where Russell Wilson, the
rotting carcass of Russell Wilson, the Denver Broncos, a team
that gave up seventy points to the Miami Dolphins, and
they were apparently trying to tackle, although they weren't in
that game. Broncos traveling Rhodes Circus heading into Western New
(02:22):
York for a date with Josh Allen the Bills. Surely
the Bills were going to eat that cupcake and enjoy
a nice, easy win. And we saw the Fox refugees,
Joe Buck and Troy Aikman, who sold out for the money.
They were there hanging out broadcasting the game. Now, if
you saw it, you know what happened, But maybe not,
Maybe you were not watching fumble, interception, an interception here,
(02:47):
a fumble there, a well time penalty over there, and
in the end, Will Wutts, he's not a Putts, Will
Lutts getting it done. He had a duel over he
got a mulligan because the Bills couldn't even have the
right number of players on the field for the game
winning field goal attempt. He had missed the initial kick
(03:07):
and then a thirty six yard field goal as time
expired was good. So Denver wins their third straight. They
rallied back after giving up a late touchdown. They had
also two extra points that were botched the Broncos, which
is why they were down by one, but they end
up getting the victory their third consecutive win. And the
(03:28):
Broncos are in that log jam of teams in the
AFC where you don't think any of them are really
playoff teams, but if a team ahead of them falls down,
then they will be in position to climb back up.
But the Bills had three fumbles, two interceptions, five penalties,
the most egregious one at the end though the twelve
(03:50):
men on the field, Although you could argue the pass
interference penalty which set up a very makeable field goal.
Also on that list, better story is in the losing
locker room, So that is where we will go. We'll
start out on the side where the Buffalo play, and
let us discuss the question. The question is who gets
(04:13):
to wear the shame bell for the Buffalo Bills as
they lose to a bad Denver team on their home field?
What happened to that home field advantage and all the greatness? Oh,
it's so hard to play in Buffalo, Okay, apparently not
for the not for the Denver Broncos. So I've got
peasant looney tunes and serendipity, and we will combined all
(04:38):
of these things together and we are going.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
To make a bug on the rug.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
They couldn't even hand the ball off the Buffalo Bills
in this game.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
At points it was that bad.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
So we start You're playing the blame game, and who
gets to wear the shame bell?
Speaker 1 (04:55):
You start with Josh Allen?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Is it fair or unfair to say Josh Allen is
failing as a franchise quarterback.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
That's fair.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
He's supposed to be the franchise guy. Is he playing
like the franchise quarterback right now? No, anybody with common
sense would say that he's not playing as the franchise quarterback,
so we start with him now. We tried to point
some of this stuff out earlier in the year. The mistakes,
of course, the Bill's Mafia, and some of the guys
that call the show were part of Bill's Mafia. They
(05:28):
wear ear muffs, and when they're not wearing ear muffs,
they work for the Buffalo Bill's PR department. In fact,
they champion Josh Allen more than the actual Bill's PR
people who are paid to do it. But man a man,
they just sit there and sing no, no, no, no no,
I'm not listening. Da da da. That's how they say.
See you look at this, and we've played ten games.
(05:51):
Is that a fair amount of time to judge? Fair
amount of time? We do the show today. We don't
do the show at the end of the year. We
do the show today and today as we break apart
the Buffalo Bills ten games in the Bills are five
and five?
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Is their record? Five and five? That's the record? That's it?
Is that good?
Speaker 3 (06:13):
No?
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Is that bad? Yes? Yes, when you have.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
The expectations the Buffalo Bills have, and Josh Allen, who
has been paid like a King has performed like a
mere peasant in so many of these games. Twenty seven
years old. He's not washed up by any means. He's
just playing like he's washed up. And I know the
usual excuses will pop up. It's not his fault, it's
(06:40):
the coaching, it's the offensive line, it's Joe, it's this guy,
it's that Guy's saying one guy or another. There's never
the quarterback's fault. We live in the age of no accountability.
If the New York Jets are defending Zach Wilson, of
course the Buffalo Bills are going to defend Josh Allen.
But he's been guilty of malfeasans at the quarterback position
(07:04):
on a regular basis, and so he's paid a lot.
He's playing like a peasant right now, and that's the
way it is now. Is he the only reason the
Bills are losing? Though he's not the only reason, but
he is the central figure in bad football? Ten games
in you know how many clean games Josh Allen has
had too too, eight dirty ones, two clean ones, turnovers
(07:27):
in eight of the ten games, eight of the ten
games he's turned the ball over in and overall eighteen
touchdown passes, eleven interceptions and four fumbles. Now for Josh Allen,
and he is headed down the Expressway off ramp stumblebum.
That's where he's heading. And the Bills are all in.
(07:47):
So if he doesn't play better, then you fire the coach. Right,
That's usually how this works. Now true or false?
Speaker 1 (07:55):
We turn the page. True or false in every practical sense.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
The Buffalo Bills of twenty twenty three are now out
of the playoffs. That this loss eliminates them from serious
consideration for the postseason, and.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
The arrow points to true.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
That is the gospel at the Buffalo Bills turnout the
las the parties over.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Buffalo not a playoff team.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
They are getting ready for the NFL Draft in late April.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Not a playoff team. They're not, And it is absolute.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Now we hurt a rumor, and I can't confirm this
as an internet rumor that the Buffalo Bills team bus
they all got off the team bus, they walked under
a ladder as a team, so they walked under a ladder,
and then a Looney Tunes character, Sylvester the black Cat,
was right there crossed their path. And then after that,
(09:04):
somehow they broke a mirror all those things happened to
the Mighty Buffalo Bills, the epitome of a mid franchise.
And you take all the hype and you put that
on one side, and then you take the results on
the other and you peel back the onion, and you
want to cry when you peel back the onion. Josh
(09:26):
Allen is trash. The defense is not wonderful. Sean McDermott
has done a piss poor coaching job. There's too many
men on the field. The field goal attempted, Hey, how
do you do that? It's basic math? How's that an issue?
It's not week one you said, wow, we didn't have
training camp.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
No, no, no, it's week ten.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Too many men on the field, just a mistake filled,
sloppy team with all the turnovers and all that and
practicing strategic incompetence. And McDermott is squad on the hot seat.
I don't care what kind of extension he got, and
he's locked in, and the Bills ownership loves him. No, no, no,
(10:09):
this is the Goldilocks zone of the Buffalo Bills these years,
and they are being wasted.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Like they're being wasted. They don't even make the playoffs.
This year the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
If you don't make the playoffs and your expectation is
Super Bowl or bust, do you keep the coach? I'm
asking for a friend, do you keep the coach? Because
in the dimension I'm living in, this side of reality,
you don't keep the coach. McDermott is mcgon as coach
in Buffalo. And even if they were to make the
playoffs somehow by an act of God, and now I
(10:41):
have them eliminated on my big board, they're eliminated. Still,
what are they gonna lose on wild card weekend? Buffalo
has the same record. You are what your record says
you are. They have the same record as the Raiders
and Colts. Now one of the Raiders and Colts have
it in common. They both are playing backup quarterbacks. The
Raiders five. We heard their coach a couple weeks ago.
(11:02):
That's where you are. Those are your contemporaries. You're not
on the same level with Kansas City.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
You're not. Okay, you can pretend you are. You're not.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
You're not a playoff team. That's that's the reality, all right.
Last word here. So we head over to the winners side,
and many people now will raise up Sean Payton and
the Broncos. They have now won three games in a
row and Denver is out of the Abyss. They have
traveled away from Dante's Inferno, which is where they were
(11:33):
when they played the Miami Dolphins. He gave up a
seventy burger, which, as we pointed out at the time
and as our belief, the reason they gave up seventy
points is because they quit. You don't give up seventy
points if you're trying they quit. But they're not quitting
right now. And so let's address the Komodo dragon in
the room. How has Sean Payton been able to navigate
(11:57):
the rough waters for the Broncos and get them back
into at least a competitive state. So the easy answer
would be Elmer's glue, that this is a spit and
glue job with a little duct tape and scotch tape
and you put that all together. But they're still making
plenty of mistakes. It gets covered up because of the
fresh aroma of a victory, But the Broncos actually had
(12:20):
twice as many penalties as the Bills did in this game.
But the reality of what's going on in Denver It
is serendipity. And as many have pointed out wise beyond
my years, people who are older than me that have
taught me over the years, and I bring this up
all the time.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
I brought it up here earlier.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Most games are lost, they're not won, and the Denver
Broncos have been in the right place at the right time.
Let me make my pitch. Week seven, Green Bay Packers,
Jordan Loves got the football to drive down win the
game for the Packers. He ain't Aaron Rodgers, He's not
Brett Farve. He goofed up.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
He screwed up.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Packers lose that game. Broncos get the win. Patrick ball
Holmes got the creeping crud, doesn't play well.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
And the Chiefs.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Are able to lose that game to the Bronco So
they lose that That was in week eight. Week nine
Broncos didn't lose because there was a bye week. And
here in week ten, Josh Allen on a room service
delivery cart says, here you go, boys, we like you.
I like those Rocky Mountain oysters and enjoy the win.
And so there you go. I did have a hot
(13:27):
take epiphany I would like to share with the class
watching that final throw by Russell Wilson that set up
the field goal where he clearly has a Fetichini alfredo
arm and is unable to throw the football where it
needs to go. Is that not the most lethal weapon
that you can have. It's his fearsome like a barracuda,
(13:47):
as lethal as an anaconda. That the underthrow is the
most amazing play in football because defensive backs one hundred
percent of the time bite on the underthrow. The guy
for Buffalo date he had right, he ran back and
the play was the ball should have gone over his head.
(14:09):
The defensive back for the Bills. The receiver comes back
to fight for the football and the defensive back gets
stuck in the middle, and then you get a pass
interference call. And normally that's a twenty five to thirty
yard chunk play, and in this case, it's set up
the game winning field goal, which the Denver Broncos were
able to get two takes at it because the Buffalo
Bills don't know basic math, how many players.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
On the field. It is the Ben Malors Show.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
If you want to comment on anything related to Monday Night,
I'm sure there'll be plenty of opportunities because the Bill's
mafia as they normally do, the coward as they are,
they will run into hiding. But for the rest of you,
the lines are open. Speakeasy rules are in effect. Yes,
I'm no. People want to they want to do another
newby Night. We should do another newby Night. We haven't
done one of those in a few weeks, so maybe
we'll do a newby Night tomorrow. But right now, speakeasy

rules are in effect. You can give us a call, scream,
shout all that. Also on X at Ben Mahlor. You

one thing had happened.

We'll go there as well. We'll do it next.

Speaker 2 (17:03):
Talking Monday Night Football. The Buffalo Bills go down to
the Broncos. And you look at your AFC standings after
ten weeks of the season, and the Buffalo Bills are
the tenth team in the American Football Conference and they
have the same record Buffalo as Indianapolis, who is ahead
(17:25):
of them, and the Raiders at five and five. Yeah,
just how they planned it before the season. The Buffalo
Bills in despair of the Broncos at four and five.
They have the same record as the Chargers. How embarrassing
is that? If I owned the Chargers, I'd fire they're
(17:46):
coach today because you have the same record as the Broncos,
the team they gave up seventy points earlier this season,
Cowboy Killer writes, and he says he plus on the
Maley monologue, Broncos didn't have an identity when they season started.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Now they do. They are giant.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Killers, says the Cowboy Killer. Alf the Alien Opiner says,
there's only one play available to the Bills mafia in
this situation. It's time to blame the girlfriend. Yeah, isn't
Josh Allen dating some actress I've never heard of, or
something like that. We talked about that some woman who's
in Hollywood. I guess it's got to be the curse
(18:22):
of Hollywood. Got to be her fault. It's not that
Josh just thinks inca terror who's in that region. He
knows all about the Buffalo Bills. He's been in studio.
He says, I hate to admit it, but a plus.
On the Mall monologue, Inka Terra says, five is my
favorite number, but this sucks. I'm so tired of people
talking about how great the Buffalo defense is. Is Dick
(18:45):
and Dayton would say, you need good defense, good offense,
and good everything else to be a good team.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
That's right. That's a Dick and Dayton line. One of
the funniest things ever. We asked him.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
I think he was about the Cleveland Indians and or
the Reds. We asked him what they have to do,
and he said, the good pitching, good defense, good good offense.
I think all three in some combination of that, they'll
be in good shape. Eugene or Buddy in Chicago rights
since says Ben will any football team in New York
make it to the playoffs, Jets, Giants or Bills. Well,
there's only one team, Eugene. If you look at your map,
(19:15):
there there's only one team that plays in New York.
The other teams play in New Jersey. So there will
be no teams from New York in the playoffs. Chip
and the Q's rights and says, hey, plus on the
Mally monologue, did the Bills also step on cracks and
break their mother's backs? I didn't see that, but it's possible.
It's conceivable that that also happened. I'm not totally dismissing
(19:39):
that that was the part of the situations. Anthony and
Anaheim rights in. I think he wants a shout out.
But Anthony, we can't do shoutouts. He says, Lauren and
he are having another baby tomorrow. Upon he says, can
you please play the lebron drop? Not one, not two,
not three, not four, but five.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Not two, not three out four.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
Not five?
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Anthony and Anaheim, man won to cut back a little bit. Man,
that's a lot. That's that's a five pack right there, Anthony.
I didn't know Anthony was rich when I met him.
I had no idea he was well yeah, man alive.
Well good for you, Mozletom. We can't do shoutouts. We
don't do we don't do the shoutouts. A GM manage
in Chicago Rights since says that penalty called against the
(20:24):
Bills is a week as the NBA, which one the
twelve men on the field or the pass interference call?
Which one of those? And this is how pathetic Russell
Wilson is. Though people are praising Russell Wilson for his
amazing play, he had less than two hundred yards passing
in the game. He's a game manager and this is
(20:45):
what we we thought the Broncos were gonna do. But
it's it's fine, it's working right now for the Broncos.
But you're paying a guy forty million dollars to be
a game manager? Is there any other Has there ever
been a game manager let's go to koop our Broncs.
Has there ever been a game manager coup that's been
paid forty two million dollars a year to just manage
(21:05):
the game?
Speaker 1 (21:08):
I don't know, was that throw to Courtland Sutton just
managing the game? That was managing the game? Oh okay,
that was managing the game? Gotcha? Yeah? Managing the game.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
I've been the best throw of the seasons.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Coops drinking the orange cool? That was awesome an throw?
What about the underthrow? That an awesome cat That was
a good underthrow. Did you like that? You're so negative?
I know that's like that this one point one. I
didn't bring that up. You brought that up.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
I was just pointing out to me the most impressive
throw was the one where he showed he has no
arm strength despite being paid forty two million dollars. And
I'm crediting him. You think I'm being negative. That's the
most lethal playing football is the underthrown football. You get
called every time you get every time. They should sign
him to an extension, coup. I agree, that's he's back.
(21:57):
Russ is back. He's underpaid, paying give a new contract.
Got to turn around and find the football. Okay, all right? Anyway,
we press on here, and the trending topic on social
media was fire Sean McDermott. Fire Sean McDermott. The trending
(22:19):
topic as the smoldering rubble around the Bills. And I'm
not gonna say the Buffalo Bills fan base is the
biggest front running band base out there.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Oh, I just tell you. I mean a lot of
Bill's Mafia guys strutting around. We hear from Andy the
comic book.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Oh god no, And he'll have some fugeci excuse why
he can't call in and all that, and when he
does call up, he'll blame it all on the coaching staff.
None of it will be on Josh Allen, not a
single one of those terrible throws.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
And being even.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Unable to hand the foot he dropped out of your
watching the game. He fumbled the handoff, He dropped the
handoff before he hit the guy in the chest, the
running back for the Bills in the chest.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
He dropped. Man, what's going on there?

good idea at the time. Dion Dawkins, who's that. That's
a buffalo bill. He's a football player who and he
arrived at the game wearing a very interesting outfit. Now
he's an offensive lineman, Dion Dawkins. He's a rather large
(23:49):
human being. And we really care in the modern times
how our athletes enter the arena. It's very important. This
is because of Originally it was because of boxing. I
remember I'm old enough when I was covering the NBA
as a radio reporter and somebody got a bug up
their butt at the NBA to try to make it
(24:11):
a bigger deal when they had big NBA games on
NBC at the time, and so they decided, you know,
in boxing, when the boxers arrived at the arena, they
put them on camera like it's.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
A big deal. They've arrived in the stadium.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
So then they started doing that in the NBA, and
they originally only did it for big games. It was
like when the Chicago Bulls and Michael Jordan back in
those days would show up and then eventually they just
do it for every effing game. It's like you show
up to work and there's a camera following you around.
But it's originally boxing. But then the NBA stole that idea.
Now everyone else is like, hey, they do it. It's
(24:49):
good enough for them, We're gonna do it too. But
Dion Dawkins showed up. Was he wearing a onesie? Did
he have his under rus on?
Speaker 1 (24:57):
What was he wearing?
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Deon Dawkins offensive tack over the If you didn't see this,
he made quite the entrance on the catwalk at absolutely
naked right now, Well it wasn't absolutely naked, but he
did not have a shirt on. He arrived shirtless prior
to the game. I like that they say he's a
star offensive line. How are you a star offensive line?
(25:20):
If I went out, but if I went out with
like a microphone and I did a man on the
street interview, I said what sport does Deon Dawkins play?
Some people might say football, and I say, what position
does Deon Dawkins play? You think If I asked ten people,
do you think one of them would be able to
know what sport he plays, what position he plays.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
I mean people on the street can't point out the
state of Texas on a map.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
So I mean, yeah, okay, if I asked one hundred people,
one hundred people, random people, do you know what position
don Dawkins play, they wouldn't. Yeah, he had some baggy
pants and.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
When's the last time you were shirtless in public? Oh,
I'd be arrested immediately. Not a lot that. I don't
think that's I don't think that's no. But I have
a theory on this.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
If you saw the video of him walking in like
he's probably got I'm not great at this. Maybe somebody
who's in this world can can update it. But watching
Dion Dawkins walk in down the runway there at the
bill Stadium, I'm thinking he's got about fifteen twenty thousand
dollars worth of body art on his chest and his arms.
(26:24):
So if you spend that kind of money on tattoos,
don't you have to show that off. What's the point
of getting tattoos if you're gonna hide them. I don't
get that. Seriously, I'm not a tattooed person, and I
know people. We've had people who worked to here that
have a bunch of tattoos. But if you're gonna have tattoos,
shouldn't you want the world to see the test, shouldn't you?
(26:45):
If you have them all over your chest, you would
have to be shirtless a good.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Amount of time. I'm just pointing that Outlet's go to
the phones, and I'm looking at it right now. That
is an interesting look. You like this? No, I don't really.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
You think you just got out of bed and he's like,
I overslept, like sweatpants too. You know that's how you
would go to Walmart to buy some milk. You'd go
to Walmart dress like that, wouldn't you. I've seen people
at Walmart dressed like that.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
I don't. I don't go to Walmart, to be honest
with it. Oh you're too elite for that. Yeah. I
love Walmart cheap. I love it.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
I love Walmart. I love the terrible lighting, I love
all the deals. It's Americana. You go to Walmart, you
see the pulse of America right there, the great unwashed
literally unwashed the Walmart. Here's a fun fact.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
They're getting an argument in a fight.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
The Walmart near my house. There was a little cart
out in front of the Walmart near my house, and
a woman was selling you know, those balloons that light
up you get like outside Disneyland. Sure was selling balloons
that light up and those necklaces that light up to
the kids going into Walmart.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Isn't that wonderful? It's like an amazing What other place
do you see that? You don't see zoos? You don't
see that at Costco.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
I've never seen someone sell those light up loons and
necklaces outside Costco or Target.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
No, that's a Walmart thing. It's a wonderful thing for
the kids.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Let's go to the phones now, against my better judgment,
we'll get him out of the way right now. Let's
go to San Diego and a man who had his
own segment on a national radio show five hundred stations
and then blew it our friend Poppy in San Diego.
Speaker 6 (28:27):
Ben Malory's gonna do an amahag you know, like you
know Bronco nowhere, Amma, you know like Broncos, the Broncos
country lives right, you know, Amaha.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
You know, have a gather chicken, you know, saying that.
Speaker 6 (28:45):
Boor chicken his own case up all day, but Michigan,
you know, only time the chicken gets out of.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
That's not that's not right.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
I'm calling.
Speaker 6 (28:57):
That segment was born anyway.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
You better all Peta.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Those people at PETA are not going to be happy.
You're you're a real animal you're a real animal rights
activist with PETA.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Yes, of course, you know.
Speaker 6 (29:14):
Picking what that? That was just a throw away you know,
idea for a throwaway show that's dying.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Man, So like I'm taking wait, wait what what? What?
What is dying? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (29:26):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (29:27):
What is what? Explain that again? You you you mumbled?
What is dying?
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Oh? You know?
Speaker 4 (29:33):
You know?
Speaker 6 (29:33):
Picking with the Chicken was just a throwaway idea for
you know, for a throwaway show that's dying.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
You know, so what what show? What are you saying?
This show is dying?
Speaker 4 (29:43):
Of course?
Speaker 1 (29:44):
All right, you are baying.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
From calling your show goodbye? Why would you want to
call the show you're that's dying. You're never getting on
the air again, Poppy, You're dead to me? All right,
I'm gonna block you on X.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
You're done.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
It's all over, you loser, all right, go hang out
with your other loser friends.
Speaker 7 (30:03):
You moron, you blew it. It's all done, Poppy, You're dead.
It's over, and I stand with Abigail the Chicken and Petta.
That's right, that's how. But we finally limited him as
a caller. He did it himself. Jason Pierre Paul. Did
you see this story? We turned the pets. Jason Pierre Paul.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
You blow up the other hand. No, no, no.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
So last week he leaked to one of his friends
through his agent in the media that he wanted to
come back and play with a legitimate Super Bowl contender,
so he signed a contract. He agreed to it to
join the New Orleans Saints. Are the New Orleans Saints
on anyone's big board, I don't. I mean maybe if
you're on Bourbon Street and you're at Pat O'Brien's and
(30:49):
you're completely sloshed, maybe then you're like, Okay, I got
New Orleans at five and five as a legitimate super
Bowl team.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
But no, now that that is not the case. They're
not a real contender.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
But Jason Pierre Paul has agreed to a deal to
join the New Orleans Saints. Of course, the Saints were
eliminated before the season even started, because you know, football
with Derek Carr as their quarterback. They had no mathematical
chance to get it done, no mathematical chance to get
it done. A plot twist in a crime story for
(31:27):
the ages, A who done it? We now know who'd
done it, and it's going to get someone in a
whole lot of trouble. We'll get to that time now
for the who am I?
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Game? This is where we pretend to be somebody else else.
We call it the who am I? Game?
Speaker 2 (31:40):
And here it is. Forty nine Ers quarterback Brock Purty

that's a good name.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
Masshole Mickey says Abigail the Chicken. Here's the answer, Anthony
and Anaheim.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
I think my.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
Theory on Anthony's he's just he keeps having kids because
that's an excuse he can get off work and listen
to the show when he's.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
On maternity leave with this not a very good reason.
Probably not.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Anthony's going with Radios. Hey, Anthony, you're having so many kids.
You can name one after me, one after Eddie, one
after Coop. You know, you just go down the list there,
easy e going with al Bundy Milkman. Mike says, bling, Bling,
Poppy's dead.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
Here's what he says.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Pete Metzilars from Big Lou in the LBC. I just
love hitting the name Pete Metzlars.

That's a great name.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
Frank the Tank and Iowa from Shane in Des Moines.
Seneca Wallace from Eke in Roseville, Minnesota. Scott says, it's
the dead deer that I just ran over on I

That'd be dinner for a week, or at least a
couple of days. Sean Shelby UFC matchmaker was guest Joe

Namath from Sean in Portland. Steve Burline guest by Double
O Mexican. The main trucker says, Poppy's prison Buddy Foghorn.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Leghorn is the answer.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Alf the Alien Opiner, says the former caller that we
will not name, spreading fake news. Bag Dad Bob is
the answer. Cowboy Killer says Garfield. Who else do we

I need an answer.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
I do.
Speaker 5 (36:18):
It's former Jets and Dolphins quarterback Chad Pennington, the.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
Great Chad Pennington. Is that the correct answer to the
who am I game? No, the correct answer would be
current broadcaster and Pro Football Hall of.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
Famer Kurt Warner. Kurt Warner.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
Back in the day with the old Saint Louis Rams
greatest show on turf.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
So we had a who done it? That's been so?
Speaker 2 (36:42):
Remember that story involving Colorado football and a bunch of
jewelry was stolen out of the locker.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
Room with the rose bowl. I do remember that.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
So now the police have revealed the people that stole
the jewelry were kids who UCLA was recruiting to play
for the Bruins on a recruiting visits. So now guess
who's in trouble Chip Kelly, the coach at UCLA. Chip,
you're recruiting players that are stealing jewelry audi recruiting trip.
(37:12):
What what kind of moral compass does UCLA have? So
now Chip Kelly's getting shrapnel as a result. Yeah, apparently
the kids were there, and I was told by somebody
who works in college football this happens all the time,
not where they steal jewelry, but they steal crap. Kids
on recruiting visits will steal stuff all the time. But
this is next level. No, God, please, no, no. I
(37:33):
assume they're not gonna be charged with a crime because
I'll turn the stuff.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (37:38):
The players from Colorado got the stuff back, But that
is wild man. Chip Kelly and UCLA put on blast
you certain players and they can bite you in their talks.
Chips are no, no, no, yeah, yes, yes,
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Hello and welcome into the audio dojo. It's the Ben
Mahler Show podcast recorded overnight so you have fresh audio
content on demand. We start with the big Baffosco Monday
night football game. And who gets to wear the shamebell
for the Bills? Is Josh Allen failing as the franchise
(00:23):
quarterback in Buffalo? And true or false? This loss on
Monday Night for all intensive purposes eliminates the Bills from
the playoff race in the AFC. And how has Sean
Payton been able to turn the Broncos fortunes around of late.
We'll talk about that and more right now here. It
(00:46):
is our number one singing the Buffalo Blues.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Well come, in.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
The beginning of another edition of the Ben Malors Show.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
We are in the air.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Everywhere chewing the rag as we know these takes, these
hot takes, we're about to serve up our finger licking
good coast to coast.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Border, the border and beyond.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
On the mast and fantastically powerful microphones of fs are

(01:39):
protection and over ten thousand recommended in stars tyro ract
dot com. The way tire buying shoe me in our
lead this hour, coming from just down the road from
Niagara Falls where the Buffalo roam and don't win. Well,
(02:00):
they were trying to win. We assume plausibly they were
trying to win. But that was the scene for Monday
night football in Western New York where Russell Wilson, the
rotting carcass of Russell Wilson, the Denver Broncos, a team
that gave up seventy points to the Miami Dolphins, and
they were apparently trying to tackle, although they weren't in
that game. Broncos traveling Rhodes Circus heading into Western New
(02:22):
York for a date with Josh Allen the Bills. Surely
the Bills were going to eat that cupcake and enjoy
a nice, easy win. And we saw the Fox refugees,
Joe Buck and Troy Aikman, who sold out for the money.
They were there hanging out broadcasting the game. Now, if
you saw it, you know what happened, But maybe not,
Maybe you were not watching fumble, interception, an interception here,
(02:47):
a fumble there, a well time penalty over there, and
in the end, Will Wutts, he's not a Putts, Will
Lutts getting it done. He had a duel over he
got a mulligan because the Bills couldn't even have the
right number of players on the field for the game
winning field goal attempt. He had missed the initial kick
(03:07):
and then a thirty six yard field goal as time
expired was good. So Denver wins their third straight. They
rallied back after giving up a late touchdown. They had
also two extra points that were botched the Broncos, which
is why they were down by one, but they end
up getting the victory their third consecutive win. And the
(03:28):
Broncos are in that log jam of teams in the
AFC where you don't think any of them are really
playoff teams, but if a team ahead of them falls down,
then they will be in position to climb back up.
But the Bills had three fumbles, two interceptions, five penalties,
the most egregious one at the end though the twelve
(03:50):
men on the field, Although you could argue the pass
interference penalty which set up a very makeable field goal.
Also on that list, better story is in the losing
locker room, So that is where we will go. We'll
start out on the side where the Buffalo play, and
let us discuss the question. The question is who gets
(04:13):
to wear the shame bell for the Buffalo Bills as
they lose to a bad Denver team on their home field?
What happened to that home field advantage and all the greatness? Oh,
it's so hard to play in Buffalo, Okay, apparently not
for the not for the Denver Broncos. So I've got
peasant looney tunes and serendipity, and we will combined all
(04:38):
of these things together and we are going.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
To make a bug on the rug.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
They couldn't even hand the ball off the Buffalo Bills
in this game.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
At points it was that bad.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
So we start You're playing the blame game, and who
gets to wear the shame bell?
Speaker 1 (04:55):
You start with Josh Allen?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Is it fair or unfair to say Josh Allen is
failing as a franchise quarterback.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
That's fair.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
He's supposed to be the franchise guy. Is he playing
like the franchise quarterback right now? No, anybody with common
sense would say that he's not playing as the franchise quarterback,
so we start with him now. We tried to point
some of this stuff out earlier in the year. The mistakes,
of course, the Bill's Mafia, and some of the guys
that call the show were part of Bill's Mafia. They
(05:28):
wear ear muffs, and when they're not wearing ear muffs,
they work for the Buffalo Bill's PR department. In fact,
they champion Josh Allen more than the actual Bill's PR
people who are paid to do it. But man a man,
they just sit there and sing no, no, no, no no,
I'm not listening. Da da da. That's how they say.
See you look at this, and we've played ten games.
(05:51):
Is that a fair amount of time to judge? Fair
amount of time? We do the show today. We don't
do the show at the end of the year. We
do the show today and today as we break apart
the Buffalo Bills ten games in the Bills are five
and five?
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Is their record? Five and five? That's the record? That's it?
Is that good?
Speaker 3 (06:13):
No?
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Is that bad? Yes? Yes, when you have.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
The expectations the Buffalo Bills have, and Josh Allen, who
has been paid like a King has performed like a
mere peasant in so many of these games. Twenty seven
years old. He's not washed up by any means. He's
just playing like he's washed up. And I know the
usual excuses will pop up. It's not his fault, it's
(06:40):
the coaching, it's the offensive line, it's Joe, it's this guy,
it's that Guy's saying one guy or another. There's never
the quarterback's fault. We live in the age of no accountability.
If the New York Jets are defending Zach Wilson, of
course the Buffalo Bills are going to defend Josh Allen.
But he's been guilty of malfeasans at the quarterback position
(07:04):
on a regular basis, and so he's paid a lot.
He's playing like a peasant right now, and that's the
way it is now. Is he the only reason the
Bills are losing? Though he's not the only reason, but
he is the central figure in bad football? Ten games
in you know how many clean games Josh Allen has
had too too, eight dirty ones, two clean ones, turnovers
(07:27):
in eight of the ten games, eight of the ten
games he's turned the ball over in and overall eighteen
touchdown passes, eleven interceptions and four fumbles. Now for Josh Allen,
and he is headed down the Expressway off ramp stumblebum.
That's where he's heading. And the Bills are all in.
(07:47):
So if he doesn't play better, then you fire the coach. Right,
That's usually how this works. Now true or false?
Speaker 1 (07:55):
We turn the page. True or false in every practical sense.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
The Buffalo Bills of twenty twenty three are now out
of the playoffs. That this loss eliminates them from serious
consideration for the postseason, and.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
The arrow points to true.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
That is the gospel at the Buffalo Bills turnout the
las the parties over.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Buffalo not a playoff team.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
They are getting ready for the NFL Draft in late April.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Not a playoff team. They're not, And it is absolute.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Now we hurt a rumor, and I can't confirm this
as an internet rumor that the Buffalo Bills team bus
they all got off the team bus, they walked under
a ladder as a team, so they walked under a ladder,
and then a Looney Tunes character, Sylvester the black Cat,
was right there crossed their path. And then after that,
(09:04):
somehow they broke a mirror all those things happened to
the Mighty Buffalo Bills, the epitome of a mid franchise.
And you take all the hype and you put that
on one side, and then you take the results on
the other and you peel back the onion, and you
want to cry when you peel back the onion. Josh
(09:26):
Allen is trash. The defense is not wonderful. Sean McDermott
has done a piss poor coaching job. There's too many
men on the field. The field goal attempted, Hey, how
do you do that? It's basic math? How's that an issue?
It's not week one you said, wow, we didn't have
training camp.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
No, no, no, it's week ten.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Too many men on the field, just a mistake filled,
sloppy team with all the turnovers and all that and
practicing strategic incompetence. And McDermott is squad on the hot seat.
I don't care what kind of extension he got, and
he's locked in, and the Bills ownership loves him. No, no, no,
(10:09):
this is the Goldilocks zone of the Buffalo Bills these years,
and they are being wasted.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Like they're being wasted. They don't even make the playoffs.
This year the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
If you don't make the playoffs and your expectation is
Super Bowl or bust, do you keep the coach? I'm
asking for a friend, do you keep the coach? Because
in the dimension I'm living in, this side of reality,
you don't keep the coach. McDermott is mcgon as coach
in Buffalo. And even if they were to make the
playoffs somehow by an act of God, and now I
(10:41):
have them eliminated on my big board, they're eliminated. Still,
what are they gonna lose on wild card weekend? Buffalo
has the same record. You are what your record says
you are. They have the same record as the Raiders
and Colts. Now one of the Raiders and Colts have
it in common. They both are playing backup quarterbacks. The
Raiders five. We heard their coach a couple weeks ago.
(11:02):
That's where you are. Those are your contemporaries. You're not
on the same level with Kansas City.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
You're not. Okay, you can pretend you are. You're not.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
You're not a playoff team. That's that's the reality, all right.
Last word here. So we head over to the winners side,
and many people now will raise up Sean Payton and
the Broncos. They have now won three games in a
row and Denver is out of the Abyss. They have
traveled away from Dante's Inferno, which is where they were
(11:33):
when they played the Miami Dolphins. He gave up a
seventy burger, which, as we pointed out at the time
and as our belief, the reason they gave up seventy
points is because they quit. You don't give up seventy
points if you're trying they quit. But they're not quitting
right now. And so let's address the Komodo dragon in
the room. How has Sean Payton been able to navigate
(11:57):
the rough waters for the Broncos and get them back
into at least a competitive state. So the easy answer
would be Elmer's glue, that this is a spit and
glue job with a little duct tape and scotch tape
and you put that all together. But they're still making
plenty of mistakes. It gets covered up because of the
fresh aroma of a victory, But the Broncos actually had
(12:20):
twice as many penalties as the Bills did in this game.
But the reality of what's going on in Denver It
is serendipity. And as many have pointed out wise beyond
my years, people who are older than me that have
taught me over the years, and I bring this up
all the time.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
I brought it up here earlier.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Most games are lost, they're not won, and the Denver
Broncos have been in the right place at the right time.
Let me make my pitch. Week seven, Green Bay Packers,
Jordan Loves got the football to drive down win the
game for the Packers. He ain't Aaron Rodgers, He's not
Brett Farve. He goofed up.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
He screwed up.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Packers lose that game. Broncos get the win. Patrick ball
Holmes got the creeping crud, doesn't play well.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
And the Chiefs.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Are able to lose that game to the Bronco So
they lose that That was in week eight. Week nine
Broncos didn't lose because there was a bye week. And
here in week ten, Josh Allen on a room service
delivery cart says, here you go, boys, we like you.
I like those Rocky Mountain oysters and enjoy the win.
And so there you go. I did have a hot
(13:27):
take epiphany I would like to share with the class
watching that final throw by Russell Wilson that set up
the field goal where he clearly has a Fetichini alfredo
arm and is unable to throw the football where it
needs to go. Is that not the most lethal weapon
that you can have. It's his fearsome like a barracuda,
(13:47):
as lethal as an anaconda. That the underthrow is the
most amazing play in football because defensive backs one hundred
percent of the time bite on the underthrow. The guy
for Buffalo date he had right, he ran back and
the play was the ball should have gone over his head.
(14:09):
The defensive back for the Bills. The receiver comes back
to fight for the football and the defensive back gets
stuck in the middle, and then you get a pass
interference call. And normally that's a twenty five to thirty
yard chunk play, and in this case, it's set up
the game winning field goal, which the Denver Broncos were
able to get two takes at it because the Buffalo
Bills don't know basic math, how many players.
Speaker 1 (14:30):

Speaker 2 (17:03):
Talking Monday Night Football. The Buffalo Bills go down to
the Broncos. And you look at your AFC standings after
ten weeks of the season, and the Buffalo Bills are
the tenth team in the American Football Conference and they
have the same record Buffalo as Indianapolis, who is ahead
(17:25):
of them, and the Raiders at five and five. Yeah,
just how they planned it before the season. The Buffalo
Bills in despair of the Broncos at four and five.
They have the same record as the Chargers. How embarrassing
is that? If I owned the Chargers, I'd fire they're
(17:46):
coach today because you have the same record as the Broncos,
the team they gave up seventy points earlier this season,
Cowboy Killer writes, and he says he plus on the
Maley monologue, Broncos didn't have an identity when they season started.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Now they do. They are giant.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Killers, says the Cowboy Killer. Alf the Alien Opiner says,
there's only one play available to the Bills mafia in
this situation. It's time to blame the girlfriend. Yeah, isn't
Josh Allen dating some actress I've never heard of, or
something like that. We talked about that some woman who's
in Hollywood. I guess it's got to be the curse
(18:22):
of Hollywood. Got to be her fault. It's not that
Josh just thinks inca terror who's in that region. He
knows all about the Buffalo Bills. He's been in studio.
He says, I hate to admit it, but a plus.
On the Mall monologue, Inka Terra says, five is my
favorite number, but this sucks. I'm so tired of people
talking about how great the Buffalo defense is. Is Dick
(18:45):
and Dayton would say, you need good defense, good offense,
and good everything else to be a good team.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
That's right. That's a Dick and Dayton line. One of
the funniest things ever. We asked him.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
I think he was about the Cleveland Indians and or
the Reds. We asked him what they have to do,
and he said, the good pitching, good defense, good good offense.
I think all three in some combination of that, they'll
be in good shape. Eugene or Buddy in Chicago rights
since says Ben will any football team in New York
make it to the playoffs, Jets, Giants or Bills. Well,
there's only one team, Eugene. If you look at your map,
(19:15):
there there's only one team that plays in New York.
The other teams play in New Jersey. So there will
be no teams from New York in the playoffs. Chip
and the Q's rights and says, hey, plus on the
Mally monologue, did the Bills also step on cracks and
break their mother's backs? I didn't see that, but it's possible.
It's conceivable that that also happened. I'm not totally dismissing
(19:39):
that that was the part of the situations. Anthony and
Anaheim rights in. I think he wants a shout out.
But Anthony, we can't do shoutouts. He says, Lauren and
he are having another baby tomorrow. Upon he says, can
you please play the lebron drop? Not one, not two,
not three, not four, but five.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Not two, not three out four.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
Not five?
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Anthony and Anaheim, man won to cut back a little bit. Man,
that's a lot. That's that's a five pack right there, Anthony.
I didn't know Anthony was rich when I met him.
I had no idea he was well yeah, man alive.
Well good for you, Mozletom. We can't do shoutouts. We
don't do we don't do the shoutouts. A GM manage
in Chicago Rights since says that penalty called against the
(20:24):
Bills is a week as the NBA, which one the
twelve men on the field or the pass interference call?
Which one of those? And this is how pathetic Russell
Wilson is. Though people are praising Russell Wilson for his
amazing play, he had less than two hundred yards passing
in the game. He's a game manager and this is
(20:45):
what we we thought the Broncos were gonna do. But
it's it's fine, it's working right now for the Broncos.
But you're paying a guy forty million dollars to be
a game manager? Is there any other Has there ever
been a game manager let's go to koop our Broncs.
Has there ever been a game manager coup that's been
paid forty two million dollars a year to just manage
(21:05):
the game?
Speaker 1 (21:08):
I don't know, was that throw to Courtland Sutton just
managing the game? That was managing the game? Oh okay,
that was managing the game? Gotcha? Yeah? Managing the game.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
I've been the best throw of the seasons.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Coops drinking the orange cool? That was awesome an throw?
What about the underthrow? That an awesome cat That was
a good underthrow. Did you like that? You're so negative?
I know that's like that this one point one. I
didn't bring that up. You brought that up.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
I was just pointing out to me the most impressive
throw was the one where he showed he has no
arm strength despite being paid forty two million dollars. And
I'm crediting him. You think I'm being negative. That's the
most lethal playing football is the underthrown football. You get
called every time you get every time. They should sign
him to an extension, coup. I agree, that's he's back.
(21:57):
Russ is back. He's underpaid, paying give a new contract.
Got to turn around and find the football. Okay, all right? Anyway,
we press on here, and the trending topic on social
media was fire Sean McDermott. Fire Sean McDermott. The trending
(22:19):
topic as the smoldering rubble around the Bills. And I'm
not gonna say the Buffalo Bills fan base is the
biggest front running band base out there.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Oh, I just tell you. I mean a lot of
Bill's Mafia guys strutting around. We hear from Andy the
comic book.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Oh god no, And he'll have some fugeci excuse why
he can't call in and all that, and when he
does call up, he'll blame it all on the coaching staff.
None of it will be on Josh Allen, not a
single one of those terrible throws.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
And being even.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Unable to hand the foot he dropped out of your
watching the game. He fumbled the handoff, He dropped the
handoff before he hit the guy in the chest, the
running back for the Bills in the chest.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
He dropped. Man, what's going on there?
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
And we continue on. It is the Ben Malor Show.
We know you have options, not good ones. Most of
the crap overnight sucks, and that's why we're here because

say at progressive dot com. So it seemed like a
good idea at the time. Dion Dawkins, who's that. That's
a buffalo bill. He's a football player who and he
arrived at the game wearing a very interesting outfit. Now
he's an offensive lineman, Dion Dawkins. He's a rather large
(23:49):
human being. And we really care in the modern times
how our athletes enter the arena. It's very important. This
is because of Originally it was because of boxing. I
remember I'm old enough when I was covering the NBA
as a radio reporter and somebody got a bug up
their butt at the NBA to try to make it
(24:11):
a bigger deal when they had big NBA games on
NBC at the time, and so they decided, you know,
in boxing, when the boxers arrived at the arena, they
put them on camera like it's.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
A big deal. They've arrived in the stadium.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
So then they started doing that in the NBA, and
they originally only did it for big games. It was
like when the Chicago Bulls and Michael Jordan back in
those days would show up and then eventually they just
do it for every effing game. It's like you show
up to work and there's a camera following you around.
But it's originally boxing. But then the NBA stole that idea.
Now everyone else is like, hey, they do it. It's
(24:49):
good enough for them, We're gonna do it too. But
Dion Dawkins showed up. Was he wearing a onesie? Did
he have his under rus on?
Speaker 1 (24:57):
What was he wearing?
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Deon Dawkins offensive tack over the If you didn't see this,
he made quite the entrance on the catwalk at absolutely
naked right now, Well it wasn't absolutely naked, but he
did not have a shirt on. He arrived shirtless prior
to the game. I like that they say he's a
star offensive line. How are you a star offensive line?
(25:20):
If I went out, but if I went out with
like a microphone and I did a man on the
street interview, I said what sport does Deon Dawkins play?
Some people might say football, and I say, what position
does Deon Dawkins play? You think If I asked ten people,
do you think one of them would be able to
know what sport he plays, what position he plays.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
I mean people on the street can't point out the
state of Texas on a map.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
So I mean, yeah, okay, if I asked one hundred people,
one hundred people, random people, do you know what position
don Dawkins play, they wouldn't. Yeah, he had some baggy
pants and.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
When's the last time you were shirtless in public? Oh,
I'd be arrested immediately. Not a lot that. I don't
think that's I don't think that's no. But I have
a theory on this.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
If you saw the video of him walking in like
he's probably got I'm not great at this. Maybe somebody
who's in this world can can update it. But watching
Dion Dawkins walk in down the runway there at the
bill Stadium, I'm thinking he's got about fifteen twenty thousand
dollars worth of body art on his chest and his arms.
(26:24):
So if you spend that kind of money on tattoos,
don't you have to show that off. What's the point
of getting tattoos if you're gonna hide them. I don't
get that. Seriously, I'm not a tattooed person, and I
know people. We've had people who worked to here that
have a bunch of tattoos. But if you're gonna have tattoos,
shouldn't you want the world to see the test, shouldn't you?
(26:45):
If you have them all over your chest, you would
have to be shirtless a good.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Amount of time. I'm just pointing that Outlet's go to
the phones, and I'm looking at it right now. That
is an interesting look. You like this? No, I don't really.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
You think you just got out of bed and he's like,
I overslept, like sweatpants too. You know that's how you
would go to Walmart to buy some milk. You'd go
to Walmart dress like that, wouldn't you. I've seen people
at Walmart dressed like that.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
I don't. I don't go to Walmart, to be honest
with it. Oh you're too elite for that. Yeah. I
love Walmart cheap. I love it.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
I love Walmart. I love the terrible lighting, I love
all the deals. It's Americana. You go to Walmart, you
see the pulse of America right there, the great unwashed
literally unwashed the Walmart. Here's a fun fact.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
They're getting an argument in a fight.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
The Walmart near my house. There was a little cart
out in front of the Walmart near my house, and
a woman was selling you know, those balloons that light
up you get like outside Disneyland. Sure was selling balloons
that light up and those necklaces that light up to
the kids going into Walmart.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Isn't that wonderful? It's like an amazing What other place
do you see that? You don't see zoos? You don't
see that at Costco.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
I've never seen someone sell those light up loons and
necklaces outside Costco or Target.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
No, that's a Walmart thing. It's a wonderful thing for
the kids.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Let's go to the phones now, against my better judgment,
we'll get him out of the way right now. Let's
go to San Diego and a man who had his
own segment on a national radio show five hundred stations
and then blew it our friend Poppy in San Diego.
Speaker 6 (28:27):
Ben Malory's gonna do an amahag you know, like you
know Bronco nowhere, Amma, you know like Broncos, the Broncos
country lives right, you know, Amaha.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
You know, have a gather chicken, you know, saying that.
Speaker 6 (28:45):
Boor chicken his own case up all day, but Michigan,
you know, only time the chicken gets out of.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
That's not that's not right.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
I'm calling.
Speaker 6 (28:57):
That segment was born anyway.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
You better all Peta.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Those people at PETA are not going to be happy.
You're you're a real animal you're a real animal rights
activist with PETA.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Yes, of course, you know.
Speaker 6 (29:14):
Picking what that? That was just a throw away you know,
idea for a throwaway show that's dying.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Man, So like I'm taking wait, wait what what? What?
What is dying? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (29:26):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (29:27):
What is what? Explain that again? You you you mumbled?
What is dying?
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Oh? You know?
Speaker 4 (29:33):
You know?
Speaker 6 (29:33):
Picking with the Chicken was just a throwaway idea for
you know, for a throwaway show that's dying.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
You know, so what what show? What are you saying?
This show is dying?
Speaker 4 (29:43):
Of course?
Speaker 1 (29:44):
All right, you are baying.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
From calling your show goodbye? Why would you want to
call the show you're that's dying. You're never getting on
the air again, Poppy, You're dead to me? All right,
I'm gonna block you on X.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
You're done.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
It's all over, you loser, all right, go hang out
with your other loser friends.
Speaker 7 (30:03):
You moron, you blew it. It's all done, Poppy, You're dead.
It's over, and I stand with Abigail the Chicken and Petta.
That's right, that's how. But we finally limited him as
a caller. He did it himself. Jason Pierre Paul. Did
you see this story? We turned the pets. Jason Pierre Paul.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
You blow up the other hand. No, no, no.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
So last week he leaked to one of his friends
through his agent in the media that he wanted to
come back and play with a legitimate Super Bowl contender,
so he signed a contract. He agreed to it to
join the New Orleans Saints. Are the New Orleans Saints
on anyone's big board, I don't. I mean maybe if
you're on Bourbon Street and you're at Pat O'Brien's and
(30:49):
you're completely sloshed, maybe then you're like, Okay, I got
New Orleans at five and five as a legitimate super
Bowl team.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
But no, now that that is not the case. They're
not a real contender.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
But Jason Pierre Paul has agreed to a deal to
join the New Orleans Saints. Of course, the Saints were
eliminated before the season even started, because you know, football
with Derek Carr as their quarterback. They had no mathematical
chance to get it done, no mathematical chance to get
it done. A plot twist in a crime story for
(31:27):
the ages, A who done it? We now know who'd
done it, and it's going to get someone in a
whole lot of trouble. We'll get to that time now
for the who am I?
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Game? This is where we pretend to be somebody else else.
We call it the who am I? Game?
Speaker 2 (31:40):

That's a hot take from Double ow Mexican.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
World's find a city.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
Yeah, it's beautiful there. Unfortunately, some of the people that
call from there not great. Let's see the the question,
the who am I? Game question where we blatantly try
to get you to listen a little bit longer. Brock
Party is the second quarterback in NFL history with three
games with three or more touchdown passes and a passer
rating of one hundred and forty or higher in his
(34:27):
first two seasons. He joins me, who am I? Masshole? Mickey,
that's a good name.

I like that.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
Masshole Mickey says Abigail the Chicken. Here's the answer, Anthony
and Anaheim.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
I think my.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
Theory on Anthony's he's just he keeps having kids because
that's an excuse he can get off work and listen
to the show when he's.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
On maternity leave with this not a very good reason.
Probably not.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Anthony's going with Radios. Hey, Anthony, you're having so many kids.
You can name one after me, one after Eddie, one
after Coop. You know, you just go down the list there,
easy e going with al Bundy Milkman. Mike says, bling, Bling,
Poppy's dead.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
Here's what he says.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Pete Metzilars from Big Lou in the LBC. I just

Speaker 2 (35:14):
Frank the Tank and Iowa from Shane in Des Moines.
Seneca Wallace from Eke in Roseville, Minnesota. Scott says, it's
the dead deer that I just ran over on I

Gummett would go out there and pick that thing up.
That'd be dinner for a week, or at least a
couple of days. Sean Shelby UFC matchmaker was guest Joe
(35:35):
Namath from Sean in Portland. Steve Burline guest by Double
O Mexican. The main trucker says, Poppy's prison Buddy Foghorn.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Leghorn is the answer.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Alf the Alien Opiner, says the former caller that we
will not name, spreading fake news. Bag Dad Bob is
the answer. Cowboy Killer says Garfield. Who else do we
page down? I can't read that great cup on Sunday
from Late Night Drug tester Kramer, the ex service dog
says it is Poppies walking dead. Poppies walking Dead. Todd
(36:14):
war El guests by mister Niska. Do you have an answer? Aady,
I need an answer.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
I do.
Speaker 5 (36:18):
It's former Jets and Dolphins quarterback Chad Pennington, the.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
Great Chad Pennington. Is that the correct answer to the
who am I game? No, the correct answer would be
current broadcaster and Pro Football Hall of.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
Famer Kurt Warner. Kurt Warner.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
Back in the day with the old Saint Louis Rams
greatest show on turf.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
So we had a who done it? That's been so?
Speaker 2 (36:42):
Remember that story involving Colorado football and a bunch of
jewelry was stolen out of the locker.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
Room with the rose bowl. I do remember that.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
So now the police have revealed the people that stole
the jewelry were kids who UCLA was recruiting to play
for the Bruins on a recruiting visits. So now guess
who's in trouble Chip Kelly, the coach at UCLA. Chip,
you're recruiting players that are stealing jewelry audi recruiting trip.
(37:12):
What what kind of moral compass does UCLA have? So
now Chip Kelly's getting shrapnel as a result. Yeah, apparently
the kids were there, and I was told by somebody
who works in college football this happens all the time,
not where they steal jewelry, but they steal crap. Kids
on recruiting visits will steal stuff all the time. But
this is next level. No, God, please, no, no. I
(37:33):
assume they're not gonna be charged with a crime because
I'll turn the stuff.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (37:38):
The players from Colorado got the stuff back, But that
is wild man. Chip Kelly and UCLA put on blast
you certain players and they can bite you in their talks.
Chips are no, no, no, yeah, yes, yes,
