This is the best of the Ben Malor Show on
Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Singing the Buffalo Blues. Well come, in the beginning of
another edition to the Ben Malors Show. We are in
the a everywhere chewing the rag as we know these takes,
these hot takes, We're about to serve up our finger

(00:52):
licking good coast to coast, border to border and beyond.
On the mast and fantastically powerful craphones of FSR ambating

(01:15):
there and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard
protection and over ten thousand recommended in stars. Tire rack
dot Com The Way tire Buying. Shoot me in our
lead this hour, coming from just down the road from

(01:35):
Niagara Falls where the Buffalo Rome and don't win. Well,
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

(01:59):
that game. Ronco's traveling Rhodes circus heading into Western New
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

(02:20):
you saw it, you know what happened. But maybe not,
maybe you were not. Watch fumball interception an interception here
at fumble there a well time penalty over there. And
in the end, Will Lutts, 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

(02:42):
right number of players on the field for the game
winning field goal attempt. He had missed the initial kick
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

(03:02):
is why they were down by one, but they end
up getting the victory their third consecutive win. And the
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.

(03:23):
But the Bills had three fumbles, two interceptions, five penalties,
the most egregious one at the end though the twelve
men on the field, although you could argue the past
interference penalty which set up a very makeable field goal
also on that list. The better story is in the
losing locker room, so that is where we will go.

(03:45):
We'll start out on the side where the Buffalo play
and let us discuss the question. The question is who
gets 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

(04:05):
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 were
combined all of these things together and we are going
to make a bug on the rug. They couldn't even

(04:27):
hand the ball off the Buffalo Bills in this game.
At points it was that bad. So we start You're
playing the blame game, and who gets to wear the
shame bell? You start with Josh Allen. Is it fair
or unfair to say Josh Allen is failing as a
franchise quarterback? That's fair. He's supposed to be the franchise guy.

(04:50):
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 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 wear ear muffs, and when they're not wearing ear muffs,

(05:11):
they work for the Buffalo Bills PR department. In fact,
they champion Josh Allllen more than the actual Bills PR
people who are paid to do it. But man a man,
they just sit there and sing no, no, no, no,
I'm not listening. Nod da da d that's how they say. See,
you look at this, and we've played ten games. Is

(05:31):
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?
Is their record? Five and five? That's the record. That's it?

(05:52):
Is that good?

Speaker 3 (05:53):
No?

Speaker 1 (05:54):
Is that bad? Yes? Yes, when you have 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

(06:15):
like he's washed up and I know the usual excuses
will pop up. It's not his fault, it's the coaching,
it's the offensive line, j it's this guy, it's that
guy 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

(06:35):
Buffalo Bills are going to defend Josh Allen. But he's
been guilty of malfeasans at the quarterback position 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

(06:58):
how many clean games, Josh Allen has had two two,
eight dirty ones, two clean ones, turnovers 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

(07:20):
headed down the Expressway off ramp stumblebum. That's where he's
head and the Bills are all in so if he
doesn't play better, then you fire the coach. Right. That's
usually how this works. Now true or false, we turn
the page true or false in every practical sense. The

(07:44):
Buffalo Bills of twenty twenty three are now out of
the playoffs, that this loss eliminates them from serious consideration
for the postseason, and the arrow points to true. That
is the gospel at the Buffalo Bills. Turn out the las,

(08:07):
the parties over Buffalo. Not a playoff team. They are
getting ready for the NFL Draft in late April. Not
a playoff team, they're not. And it is absolutely now
we hurt a rumor, and I can't confirm this as
an Internet rumor that the Buffalo Bills team bus they

(08:29):
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,
somehow they broke a mirror. All those things happened to

(08:50):
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
Allen is trash. The defense is not wonderful. Sean McDermott

(09:13):
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, oh, we didn't have
training camp. No, no, no, it's week ten. Too many
men on the field, just a mistake filled, sloppy team
with all the turnovers and all that and practicing strategic incompetence.

(09:38):
And McDermott is squarely 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,
this is the Goldilocks zone of the Buffalo Bills these years,
and they are being wasted, right, They're being wasted.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
Now.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
Ain't you gonna make the playoffs this year? Bills? 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 mcgonn as coach in Buffalo.

(10:18):
And even if they were to make the playoffs somehow
by an act of God and I 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 fired their

(10:41):
coach a couple of weeks ago. That's where you are.
Those are your contemporaries. You're not on the same level
with Kansas City. You're not. Okay, you can pretend you are,
you're not. You're not a playoff team. That's the reality,
all right, last word here. So we head over to
the winner's side, and many people now will raise up

(11:02):
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 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

(11:22):
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 the rough waters for the Broncos and get
them back into at least a competitive state. So the

(11:43):
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 twice as many penalties as the Bills did
in this game. But the reality of what's going on

(12:06):
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. I brought it up here earlier.
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,

(12:29):
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. He screwed up. Packers lose
that game. Broncos get the win. Patrick Mahomes got the
creeping crudd doesn't play well, and the Chiefs are able
to lose that game to the Bronco So they lose that.

(12:49):
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 draw the win, and so there you go.
I did have a hot take epiphany I would like

(13:09):
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, as lethal as an anaconda.

(13:30):
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 did he had right,
He ran back and the play was the ball should
have gone over his head the defensive back for the Bills.

(13:51):
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 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 on the field.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Malor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
It is not a jaguarre, It is a haywire. What happened?
So one of the darling young quarterbacks in the NFL
welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Mahlor show. We are in the a everywhere as we

(14:43):
hang out blathering and we know it's the craziest trap
you'll ever see. The audio trap coast to coast border,
the moat in beyond on the mast and blisteringly powerful
microphones of fs are amminating live from the cosmos as

(15:03):
we hang out on a little blue marble spinning around
the Milky Way. We are broadcasting live from the Tyraq
dot com studios. Tyraq dot com will help you I
get there and unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free roadhazard
protection and over ten thousand recommending it installers. Tyer rack
dot com The Way Tire Buying showbe in our lead

(15:28):
this hour. Coming from football, but not not a stunner
from Monday Night football. The Bills have favored heavily at
home against the Broncos and Denver on a Mulligan field
goal after too many men were on the field, they
get the last chance, last second field goal is good
and the Broncos have exterminated the Buffalo Bills. And if

(15:52):
you're keeping track at home, we have so far had
zero feedback from Bill's mafia other than inca terror inco
Terror did send a message, but other than that bupkus
in terms of the regular Bill's mafia people that call
the show. But with that being said, we head to Jacksonville,
another lopsided game. Over the weekend, the Jags were trucked

(16:14):
by the forty nine ers in a game that was
highly anticipated that was over early in the second half.
A lopsided game, but it's a story that still has legs.
And the reason it still has legs if you've not
been following along, and maybe not, Richard Sherman, who is
a proprietor of the hot take these days, the mouth

(16:37):
of the legion of boom back in the day recently unloaded.
He just annihilated, went scorched earth on Trevor Lawrence failing
to live up to the hype that he was given
coming out of college and when he was a rookie
in the NFL, how the expectations were amazing, and how

(16:57):
he has not lived up to set expectation. He said.
The following quote is said, here's a quote from Richard Sherman.
So when I make an assessment that Trevor Lawrence hasn't
been the generational talent he was billed to be coming
out of Clemson, Jags fans were up in arms. Sherman moaned.

(17:17):
He says, the tape doesn't lie the team has won
because the defense has gotten turnovers. At this point, Trevor
Lawrence has more turnovers than touchdowns on the season, despite
that his team has been winning. He has all the
talent in the world. However, he has not showcased, not
been showcased consistently. So not been showcased consistently. The money quote,

(17:39):
So let us discuss the question Richard Sherman quote we
just gave you Richard Sherman saying that Trevor Lawrence has
not been a generational talent. Is that inbounds or out
of bounds, and there's no need to go to instant
replay that is inbounds, fair ball inbounds. I've got peeping

(18:01):
eulogy and Pokemon, and we will combine all of these
things together and we're gonna make a cheesy reality TV show,
which if the quarterback in Jacksonville keeps playing like this,
he should be on a cheesy reality TV show. So
number one, let's set the record straight. If you followed

(18:30):
this show, if you watch me on the TV show
Benny Versus the Penny on Regional cable television every weekend
all football season long. You know that I am on
the che train with Trevor Lawrence and the Jacks. I am,
but here's the issue. He has not been a generational talent.
And both these things can be true simultaneously. Where I

(18:52):
am on the Jags Chuo Choo train of hype and
Trevor Lawrence has not been the man. He's had stretches
where he's been the man, but not consistently. And those
that are saying it's unfair because he was given the
hex at Clemson when he was coming out of college,
the curse of high expectations. The reality is this, Trevor

(19:14):
Lawrence has been what we call a peeping Tom quarterback.
You're probably asking what is a peeping Tom quarterback? A
peeping Tom quarterback is one that only shows flashers. They'll
flash greatness, but they will not consistently perform on a
high level. The expectation was this is the next Drew Brees,
Tom Brady, Peyton Manning somewhere on that level. He has not.

(19:38):
Trevor Lawrence been that guy. He has not. Occasionally he'll
have a game where he plays Pink a boo and
he looks really good, and people get all excited and
they're like, here we go, here we go, and then
it turns out no. And so that is what separation.
Here we go, It's what separates the wheat from the shaft, right,

(20:00):
I mean that's the situation. Trevor Lawrence has nine touchdowns,
six interceptions, He's fumbled the ball seven times. Butter Fingers
ought to be his sponsor. Butter Fingers all right now,
turning the page headline from Gotham, we go, well, just
outside Gotham in Jersey, where Robert Salah is not just

(20:22):
doubling down, he is tripling down, down, down, down, down, down,
down down with Zach Wilson love. Another game where the
Jets failed again in the end zone, another game where
Zach Wilson makes the big mistake, and another game where
after the game his head coach gets his knee pads

(20:42):
on to take care of Zach Wilson, make sure he's alright.
It's wild, It is absolutely wild. Based on what the
coach of the Jets said, Robert Salad two reporters. He's
made it pretty clear here that he is not going
to change quarterback. He is not going to change offensive coordinator,
None of that's going to happen. In fact, the quote
he gave he said, quote this is Robert Salad, coach

(21:04):
of the Jets. He said, it is hard to make
changes just to make changes, just to pacify something, especially
when something is not deserving. If he was deserving of it,
I got you. Let's change something close. Quote. So here
we are again. How do you dissect parsing the words

(21:27):
of Robert Salad, coach of the Jets, saying saying here
that he will not bench Zach Wilson to pacify the
naysayers of the Jets. So Robert sal after a minutes
long contemplation of the situation with the Jets, Robert Salad

(21:48):
picked the wrong hill to plant a flag. And it's
Zack Wilson Mountain. It's not a very big mountain. It's
not a piece of valuable real estate. Some would say
it's a volcano and it's about to blow. There she blows, there,
she blows. Wowser's Robert sala writing his own coaching eulogy,

(22:08):
he is, he is going to die on Zach Wilson Mountain.
But God forbid, we make the naysayers correct and we
get rid of Zach Wilson. You're writing your own eulogy,
you dumb dumb, and you don't even realize height. The
kid can't play. The guy sucks. How many performances does
he have to have? And I'm not even a Jets fan,

(22:31):
but it's ridiculous, it's patently absurd what has gone on.
And the fact that Robert Salah, chief dumb dumb, is
out there every week making his shues and now last
week he got caught in the trap and he said,
I take the fifth. This week he's back planting his
flag on Zach Wilson Mountain. Not a place you want

(22:53):
to be, Not a place you want to be.

Speaker 4 (22:55):
Right.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
Final point headline from Seine City Lost Wages NAVA where
the Raiders or the toast of the NFL beating up
a couple of nobody's pathetic franchises, the Jets and Giants.
But Antonio Pierce, something he said following the game with
the Jets has been hotly debated. What dead He's tight? Now,

(23:15):
if you didn't see this following the win, it's possibly
you missed it. Antonio Pierce gave a very direct, very
blunt response about his usage of Devonte Adams and making
sure that that is a point of emphasis for the Raiders,
that the football gets in Devonte Adams hands and they

(23:36):
want to get him involved early and off and and
all that stuff. And the wise guys who follow the
NFL said, oh, he did he did, he did it,
and Tonio Piers dead it that he trolled. He trolled
the guy that he replaced in, Josh McDaniels. And when
he said, here's the quote, when you've got one of

(23:57):
the best receivers in the game, I'm not stupid, Antonio
Pierce declared, I know who to get the ball to.
Now that quote has been put into the megaphone Mega
Mega Mega Mega megaphone, and some pundit's pointing out that
that is bad decorum. That's bad decorum for Antonio Pierce.

(24:19):
So let us discuss is Antonio Pierce. Is Antonio Pierce
messing with the football god just like that by trolling
Josh McDaniels. The answer is no, okay, And anyone that
thinks that has something shoved up their keyster, okay, this

(24:39):
is not messing with the football gods. What Antonio Peers
is doing is playing pokemon. He's poking the fired coach
he's playing Pokemon Pokey the coach is what he's doing,
and I'm fine with it. And Josh mcdummy, it's fair game.
And I'll tell you what right now. If Josh McDaniels
had thrown the ball more often and made it a

(25:00):
point of emphasis to throw the ball to his star receiver,
he'd likely still be coaching in the NFL. He would
not have been fired before the ten week mark of
the season. But mcdummy couldn't do it, and so he
went away. And it's not messing with karma. There's no
Karma involved in this now. Regardless, things are about to

(25:21):
get real. I'm gonna guarantee you what's gonna happen now.
I don't believe karma's involved with this at all for
the Raiders and Antonio Piers. But the Raiders have had
a nice soft launch. It's kind of like when you've
opened up a restaurant for lunch and you're a sandwich shop,
and the first day you're open, there's three people that
come into the sandwich shop. Everyone gets their sandwich perfectly made,
the right toppings, everything's perfect, and then after that, like

(25:44):
two days later, you then have a rush of five
hundred people that come into your sandwich shop. Suddenly you
don't have the ability to complete the orders properly, and
some people are missing items and they're complaining and they're
grumbling and all that, and so that becomes an issue.
The Raiders are about to play real NFL opponents, starting
with the Miami Dolphins upcoming, and they're likely to lose

(26:06):
a bunch of these games. And then I will guarantee
you the column has already been written. If it hadn't
been for Antonio Pierce coofing on Josh McDaniels, the Raiders
would have won this game video at eleven.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
It's Mallard. How about that?

Speaker 2 (27:30):
To the third degree, this is one thing that gets grayed.

Speaker 5 (27:37):
With the Falcons lost to the previously one and eight
Cardinals on Sunday, they're a speculation that Arthur Smith is
firmly on the hot seat. Ben, do you think he
goes mid season? I do not believe they will fire
him midseason. But every week Arthur Smith is closer and
closer to the doomsday clock ticking and back working for
his pops at FedEx and all that. But the Saints

(27:59):
don't play a good team the rest of the year.
They played the Saints, Jets, Box, Panthers, Colts, and Bears
that there's not a good team that's on that schedule.
But losing the Joshua Dobbs, who didn't even know his teammates' names,
and then following that up by losing the Alligator Arms Murray,

(28:19):
a team trying to tank and a quarterback that hadn't
played in eleven months. That is a fireable offense, just demoralizing.
Atlanta doesn't have a quarterback. But I'll be the first.
I want to be the first to start the rumor.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
Dion Sanders prime coach, prime to Atlanta. But they got
a fire Arthur Smith. They will not do that until
after the season. He will be relieved of his duties next.

Speaker 5 (28:42):
The Celtics blew out the Raptors on Saturday, and a
lot of the Raptors players were upset with Joe Mizzoula
after the game. Missoula challenged they played with less than
four minutes left in the game and his team up
twenty seven points. Dennis Schroeder called it disrespect was it
Ben Well? Joe Missoula, It's like a five pound on
breakfast burrito. It's hard to deal with, right. Joe Mizzoula

(29:03):
is hard to deal with. He's he's a hard oh guy.
He's a different cat Missoula. We saw that in the
playoffs last year. He does not follow the traditional orthodoxy
of the NBA when he was letting him play, let
him play, Joel Mizzoula while the Celtics were flexing around
at the end of playoff games and all that, But
the typical decorum is not there. And I am on

(29:23):
the side of the Toronto Raptors right the game's already decided.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
What are you doing? Okay, what are you you trying
to the flex to say how you're into it and
all that. No, you play the game out. That's it.
These NBA guys wish they had a running clock at
the end of these games when they're blowouts. It is
U've been to I've been to many of these over
the years, and they don't want anything to do with it.
Joe mizzoul will be fine until the playoffs start. That's
when he will be judged again. The Celtics have a

(29:48):
loaded roster and will they get to the NBA finals.
Developing hot do dot dot next.

Speaker 5 (29:55):
It's been reported that the Angels have strong interest in
former White Sox Star team Anderson.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
That's nice, strong interest, yeah.

Speaker 5 (30:03):
Ben, Do you think a change in scenery could reignite
Anderson who sucked last year? Or was last season a harmonder?
Of things to come.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
Well, I would say a trip to a pharmacy in
Tijuana could reignite Anderson. Tim Anderson, But he is what
do we always say, He's a falling star. Don't let
a falling star fall on you. He's thirty years old,
where you're still in your prime. But his numbers have
gone down the last three years. His power numbers have
gone down the last four years. So there's all kinds
of red flags here. Plus the guy compared himself to

(30:32):
Jackie Robinson. Then when people said, hey, you're Jackie Robinson,
he got offended. So the guy's a douchebag. I wouldn't
want him on my team. But how'd we do? Koopo op?

Speaker 5 (30:42):
He passes ation.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
That is a win. You can put it on the bar.

welcome in our contestants. Let's see who do we have.
We've got Uncle Mo, who's in Brooklyn. Hello, Uncle Mo?

Speaker 4 (31:32):
Good morning, Ben, Hey Eddie, what's up?

Speaker 4 (31:37):
Oh my gosh, A regular season. We're we're, we're, we're we're.
This is a regular year. We're in regular territory.

Speaker 1 (31:43):
We're all that. Excepting you did win the offseason though,
Uncle Moe. You have that championship, the Aaron Rodgers offseason championship,
So I hope you celebrated.

Speaker 6 (31:53):
You have a good time in the suite.

Speaker 1 (31:54):
At least time you're in a suite. You're an elitist,
Uncle Moe, hanging out a sweet.

Speaker 4 (32:00):
You know, it's not who, it's not, it's not what
you have it to, you know.

Speaker 1 (32:05):
No, all right, how much free food did you eat
in the sweet?

Speaker 7 (32:09):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (32:09):
Too much?

Speaker 1 (32:10):
Too much? I got you. You gotta live life, right Mo,
You gotta enjoy it.

Speaker 4 (32:13):
But Ben, just know I'm toward territory right now.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
Oh no, really, okay, all right, Wow, you're riding a
train back through the desert like Sirias Sean.

Speaker 4 (32:26):
No, no, no, no, no, not that.

Speaker 1 (32:28):
Yeah. All right, Well, hold on a sec and we
have a Nick in Montana. I believe he's he's still there.
He's gonna play Hello Nicky, Nick? You ready to do this?
Oh yeah, no goodness, I'm a huge fan. Oh God
bless you? All right, very nice? All right, we'll play
the game. Hold on, say, let's go back to Mo. Mo,

(32:49):
who would you like to partner up with? I think
I already know the answer.

Speaker 4 (32:53):
I'm gonna go with Eddie.

Speaker 1 (32:55):
Wow, this is pathetic. I mean, this is embarrassing.

Speaker 6 (32:57):
It's my guy uncle Moe.

Speaker 1 (32:59):
I mean Mo, would he buy you a beer or something?

Speaker 7 (33:02):
Mo?

Speaker 1 (33:02):
Or a hot dog or something?

Speaker 4 (33:04):
Well? He waited in the battles of met Life Stadium
for ten minutes while he went to a place I've
never been before. So I allegedly have been at that
stadium ten times and I still couldn't find my way down.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
Gotcha? All right, hold on a second, and let's go
back to Nick. Nick, who do you want to partner
up with?

Speaker 3 (33:21):
You?

Speaker 1 (33:21):
Got me Ben? Iowa Sam or koopba Loop.

Speaker 6 (33:25):
I have to take Ben.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
I have to take that, damn right.

Speaker 8 (33:28):
But no, I'm no disrespect, no respect.

Speaker 1 (33:32):
And let me tell you something that we're going to
slay the dragon here, okay, is what we're going to
do with Uncle Mo. He's going down. He's a he
picked Uncle Ma, picked the wrong team, Uncle Ma. He's
gonna have to lose. All right, Hold on, what are
the categories here, Coop? Let's get that out of the way,
so we get back who who do we get it?
That's a bad sign. That's a bad sign, Nick, that's

(33:54):
a bad sign. So we play the game, Nick, and
then I'll give you clues. You have to say who
the person is. When we got he said he's heard
the game before, he knows how it works. It sounded
like he didn't say no, yeah, no, I'm sorry. I
thought was it just two teams? You sure he knows
the game, Coop, because it certainly doesn't sound like it
a Maya does.

Speaker 5 (34:11):
All right, gentlemen, this is Malars. This is Mallards Mount
of Money, the Justin Cooper Edition.

Speaker 1 (34:17):

yourself as the category of the name. Here, go ahead, Nick,
which category do you want?

Speaker 2 (34:48):
Liar?

Speaker 6 (34:52):
It should be pretty easy after me and give all
the answers.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
Unfortunately, as much as I would love to both through
the same category, you have to pick one of the
other categories that our friend coop there drop.

Speaker 5 (35:08):
Do you want full house, the boys are back? Or
the Magnificent Seven?

Speaker 1 (35:15):
All right, the boys are back? Okay, the boys are back.
That's great. Everyone's don't hang up? Do not hang up?
A well, what are we doing? Are we gonna let
him play? All right? You can't say that, Nick, I mean,
I think we should be able to say that, but

(35:35):
you can't say that. Anyway. We will have Mallard's amount
of money, assuming Nick keeps his mouth clean. We'll get
to that and we will do it next.
