Speaker 1 (00:16):
It is the twenty seventh day of the.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Month of November, and this hour we start with the
Yinsers and the Skyline Chillies. What are your initial reactions
to the Steelers' offense going over four hundred yards without
matt Ocdada? Also, the Patriots played the Giants, Did Mac
Jones play his final game for the Patriots? And Jacksonville

(00:41):

the playoffs? With rookie c J. Stroud, we talk about
that and much more in a zoomtastic our number four.
Have a wonderful start your week here on this Monday.

(01:02):
Here it is our number four. A case of Canadian
bacon sizzling.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
The former coach.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Welcme in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Malors Show. We are in the air everywhere right nearby
as we generate new ideas coast to coast, border the
border and beyond on the mast and grandiosely powerful microphones

(01:34):
of FSR emmating live from the Dash, the Nocturnal Mad Dash.
We are broadcasting live from the tyrack dot com studios
tyraq dot com.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
We'll get you there.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
All they will fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection

Speaker 2 (01:54):
The Way Tire Buying should be our lead this hour,
coming from Ohio since Cincinnati.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
Or northern Kentucky, depending how you look at at the.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Ben Gals beginning life without Joe Burrow, and that went
about as well.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
As you would have expected.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
They played host to the Steelers, who played their first
game since they got rid of their offensive guru. So
those are the storylines coming in. That was the setup.
That was the lead up to the match up between
the Cincinnati football team and the Pittsburgh football team. And
I don't know if you saw this game or not,
maybe not, but we watched so you would not have to.

(02:34):
Kenny Peckett. Kenny Peckett, he threw for a season high
two hundred and seventy eight yards and the Steelers did
something that hasn't happened since we were all little kids.
The Pittsburgh Steelers actually showed a pulse. They showed that
they have a ticking heart in this particular game as

(02:57):
the first game since whacking Matt oh God the offensive coordinator,
beating the Joe burrowless Bungals sixteen to ten on Sunday,
the final score the Steelers totaling four hundred twenty one
yards of offense. Four hundred and twenty one yards of

(03:19):
offense for Pittsburgh. That seems like a lot, right, That
seems like a fair amount, and it was. It was
a fair amount because that is the first time in
fifty eight games, fifty eight games that the Steelers had
gained four hundred yards had been that long, and the

(03:40):
Steelers moving the ball around Pat Fryarmuth a tight end
a career high hundred and twenty yards receiving the Steelers
out gaining their opponent for the first time this season
under the interim offensive coordinator someone named Eddie Faulkner. We
don't know who that is, but he's calling the plays
now in Pittsburgh. So discuss the question, what are your

(04:03):
initial reactions to the Steelers offense without Matt Canada as
the offense recording to Pittsburgh's a playoff team right now.
So I've got Dave Ramsey, Mushroom, and Wendy's and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make a Christmas carol. So when I came

(04:23):
into work, Iowa, Sam said, do we have to start
playing the holiday music? And I say, well, we have
not gotten the memo from corporate, and until we get
the memo from corporate, we do not have to. But
I'm warning you that memo is likely going to come
down once people show up to work here later on Monday.
So this might be the final show of the year
without NonStop Christmas Carols.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
You've got mail, so you might just don't check your mail,
you know.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
All Right, anyway, let us discuss the question again your
initial reactions to the Steelers offense without mag Canada. So
I'll start with this, the Pittsburgh offense.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Was it better? Yes? Was it great?

Speaker 3 (05:07):
No?

Speaker 2 (05:09):
I see all these glowing reviews and oh they're so god,
oh man, all.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
They had to do was get rid of Matt Canada.
I am not ready.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Maybe I'm just a douche, but I am not ready
to announce that the Pittsburgh Steelers offense has arrived.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
I'm not, and I'll tell you why. Look at the opposition.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
The Cincinnati football team is not only a defense, they're dreadful.
How bad are in terms of total defense? They entered
the game ranked thirtieth in the NFL, and over the
last month, the Bengals are allowing four hundred and twenty
two yards of offense per game. So if you look

(05:53):
at this and say, well, the Steelers had four hundred
and twenty one yards of offense, that is actually below
by one yard the normal defensive effort of the Cincinnati
football team. The typical defensive effort, that's about where they've been.
So it's not like they exceeded what the Cincinnati defense
has allowed Pittsburgh go was right where most teams are

(06:15):
that play. The Bengals and Kenny Pickett and friends also
missed golden opportunities to actually score points, which is the
most important stat yard is just nice. Points is what
wins games, though, And four hundred and twenty one yards
of offense but only sixteen points, that's not good in

(06:36):
the goldielock zone. In the red zone, they had four trips,
Pittsburgh did one for four. That's a twenty five percent
conversion rate. The object of the game is the score points.
The Steelers put up sixteen points in this game, sixteen,
and over the last month, the Cincinnati Bengals defense was

(06:57):
allowing twenty seven points per game. So that Bengal defense
held Pittsburgh eleven points below what they've typically.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
Done over the last month.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
And yet they're ready to have a parade in Pittsburgh,
like right through mister Rogers neighborhood. They're so excited that
the Steelers put up four hundred yards of offense but
only sixteen points. And I understand why people are going
to excited. I get it. It's like the Dave Ramsey,
the guru radio guru, Dave Ramsey, who has his money

(07:31):
management right. He talks about baby steps, so it's a
baby step. It's like, Oh, things are looking up. The
reason that things are looking up is because of the schedule.
If you look at the schedule, it's what we call
the hostess schedule. You've got fruit pie, you've got Twinkie
and ho hos. That's what's ahead for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

(07:53):
Here they've got the Cardinals, the Patriots, the Colts, and
they also play the Bengals again, still looking up. But
let's hear from Kenny Pickett, and everyone wants to know
what was so different about the Steelers office now that
he got rid of that dead weight Matt Canada.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
Go ahead, rip him, Kenny, rip him, rip him. What
was different?

Speaker 4 (08:11):
Let's find out cut flow of calls, like how coach
Solely loves to call games and our communication long one
is great, which he's been there with you know, my
right hand man since I got here. So the communication
has always been great with Coach Solely, and it's just
now that he has to call the plays. It obviously
it's just an adjustment. But felt like we handled it
really well. It's a lot of a lot of adversity,
a lot of things go on adversity parts, but like

(08:31):
I said, it was it was felt like a short
week almost because you know when we got the news
and how quickly we all had to kind of react
to what happened and flush and move on and get
ready to go this week. So, you know, hats off
to our guys in our locker room that did that.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
So if I'm writing a column in Pittsburgh, the headline
is that Kenny Pickett rips Matt Canada's communication. It says,
the lack of communication is why the Steels offense fizzled
before we've got that. I love the adversity thing. Oh adversity.
Does anyone else do that at their job? Like, you know,
we have things that happen here. I have people that

(09:07):
work with me that take nights off to go to
football games. That's adversity. But I come in here and
I still do the show. We still do the show.
It's a fascinating thing, dealing with the adversity. Do I
get like we get medals? Do we get medals for that?

Speaker 5 (09:18):
Oh? No?

Speaker 1 (09:19):
All right?

Speaker 2 (09:20):
Anyway, moving on, we head now to exit sixteen W
on the Jersey Turnpike.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
That is where if you get off at sixteen W.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
There you can find your way to MetLife Stadium where
the Giants were playing host to the Patriots. They were
wrangling and this game came down to a defensive place.
Xavier McKinney with the big interception. He sets up Randy
Bullock to go ahead forty two yard field go midway

(09:51):
through the fourth quarter, the third interception of the wicked
bad Patriot quarterbacks.

Speaker 6 (09:58):
Man do they blow?

Speaker 1 (10:00):
And yikes, I don't get it. I do not.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
This must be intentional, right, this must be intentional. The
Giants win consecutive game for the first time this season.
They beat the Patsy's ten to seven. They are back
to when I was a kid, he used to call
them the Patsies. They're back to being the Patsis man?

Speaker 1 (10:17):
Are they bad?

Speaker 2 (10:18):
New England did have a chance to win the game
in the final minute, but they didn't go for the win.
They went for the tie and someone named Chad Ryland
were told that's a kicker. He was wide left on
a thirty five yard field goal attempt with three seconds
to go in the game.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
Good afternoon, good evening, and good.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
Night, and so the Patriots lose. The question here is
at the quarterback position for New England, Mac Jones, who
we thought had been benched.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
We thought wrong. He started the game for the Patriots.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
So the question is did mac Jones after this performance
he got benched after the first half? Did mac Jones
play his final game with the Patriots? And the answer
it's probably not. But what more does one have to do?
What more does mac Jones have to do to announce
that his middle name starts with an S and ends

(11:10):
with a k It suck that. That's what this guy is, right?
What more must mac Jones do? How many more stinkers
does he have to have? We know it's not three
strikes are out because he's way past three strikes. He's
way past three strikes at this point. He's not even
a pussy cat with nine lives. He's beyond nine lives.

(11:31):
He's had more than nine crappy performances for the Patriots
and any stranglers left in the Mac Jones marching and
showder society should vacate the premises in a timely and
orderly manner at this point, because you can literally see
off on the horizon the mushroom cloud. There's a big

(11:52):
mushroom cloud there of toxicity that is all around mac Jones.
Just in case you thought.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
Maybe he'd be okay and he'd.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
Be better, mac Jones went out against a pretty bad
Giants defense twelve of twenty one in the first half
for eighty nine yards, and that just stinks anyway you
slice it. Averaged a little over four yards per past
two interceptions, and the Giants did not get into the
end zone, or the Pages did not, but the Giants

(12:20):
did by the way the Giants did get in the
end zone complements of Mac Jones. The one of those interceptions.
Max's passer rating was twenty seven point eight. We always
loved to point out that if a quarterback takes a
snap every single snap and just spikes the ball on
the ground, they would have a thirty nine point eight
passer rating, one of the great stats in football. So
if you have a passer rating below that, you would
have been better off just spiking the ball into the

(12:42):
ground every single time. Now, to rephrase all of this,
and not in pig Latin, but to rephrase it, Bailey
Zappi was no better. So Mac Jones has shown he
can't play. Bailey Zappi appears to have shown he can't play,
and we got a refresher course in all this. I

(13:03):
don't believe this is charity. I don't think it is charity.
Is this all part of a master plan? Are we
gonna see stories pop up that the Patriots were incahoots
or the front office, the Craft family and Bill Belichick.
The goal was to get the number one pick. The
Patriots right now would have the number three pick. There
is still time. They need the Cardinals to win a game.

(13:27):
That's the big one. They need the Cardinals to win
a game. Carolina has only got the one and that's problematic,
right if you're talking about getting the.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
Number one overall pick.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
But at this moment, New England and Carolina are New
Land and Arizona rather the two win teams. Arizona's played
one more game, so New England has one last loss,
and it'll come down if they finish with the same record.
It'll come down to strength of schedule at this point,
opponent's strength of schedule, and at this point, the Patriots

(13:59):
have a strength of schedule than the Cardinals, so they
would be ahead of the Cardinals if they finished with
the same wreck.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
There'll be a quiz on this later, I am.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
Told all right, Now, parting shot, we go to Houston,
where Trevor Lawrence had three hundred and sixty four yards
passing and a touchdown that Jaguars escaped with a.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
Twenty four to twenty one win.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
They escaped with the hair on their chinny chin chin
as the Texans idiot kicker Matt Ammandola.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
He missed.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
It was a long fueld goal, fifty eight yard field goal,
not a chip shot field goal. Fifty eight yard no
good bounced off the crossbar with thirty four seconds left,
and Jacksonville, who had absolutely been snookered by the Houston
Texas no more. The Jacks eight and three. They avenge
a twenty point home loss earlier this season. And if
you look at recent years domination situation for Houston over

(14:54):
Jacksonville and now there is a little bit of separation,
it's like a horse race and a couple lengths ahe
down the Jacksonville football team.

Speaker 7 (15:02):
C J.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
Stroud, the second overall pick who should have been the
number one overall pick, three hundred yards again over three
hundred yards, a couple of touchdown passes, and Houston thill loss.
Their three game winning streak is caput done. Bupkis see
you later. The question on this one does Houston Does
Houston have enough to get in the playoffs with c J.

(15:26):
Stroud at this moment they are now out of the
playoffs as they slip down with this loss. So on
this side of the microphone, the answer is n plus.
Oh no, they're not right, and Houston they drop into
the eighth spot out of the playoffs. Indianapolis the last
team in and they're going to be in every game

(15:48):
the rest of the way because of c. J. Stroud,
because he's pretty good. He's got a little gumption, little moxie.
You can play, right, I mean just big words. That
guy can play. And so they'll be in every game.
And the problem is it's at the end. It's like
the Windy's slogan from back in the day, where's the
beef and I'm looking around here.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
They don't really run the ball all that well.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
There's not a lot of meat on the bone, and
in order to win these games, you gotta have a
little bit of that. So even with a Cupcase schedule,
we do not have the Texans in the playoffs. It
is the Ben Malord Show. If you lucky, part speakeasy

FORO sportsman. You're a longtime Ohio State backer? Do you

Speaker 5 (20:02):
Oh, breaking news, breaking news.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
Dick and Date tweet that out lead a lap.

Speaker 2 (20:07):

Oh she was at least oh the last fifty five
or sixty years.

Multiple generations Dick and Dayton. He says he does not
want a new Day. He likes the old day, the
Ryan Day to continue on his coach.

Speaker 7 (20:38):
I'm just hoping, you know, they can get a maybe
a small bull bit, maybe like the Beach Bowl or
a Cotton Bowl.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
Yeah, but I think they'll be okay in that department
Dick and Day. And I think they'll go to a
bowl game. I'm pretty sure.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
No unbelievable okay, all right, thank you. I gotta hang
up on you. I can't wait for that. I'm counting
down the seconds unless I'm not.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
Let's say hello to Jed who fled somewhere wandering around
the backwoods the red Neck.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
Riviera in Florida. Hello, Jed who fled?

Speaker 3 (26:03):

Speaker 1 (26:14):
How dare you?

Speaker 5 (26:15):
No? No, dude, He's like he's like a band aid dude.
Ripped him all simply the love of God.

Speaker 1 (26:20):
How about that?

Speaker 2 (26:21):
Well you would do, Jed, if you did the updates here,
you would do seven minutes of content in forty five seconds.

Speaker 3 (26:28):
But if you're you're under selling.

Speaker 2 (26:29):

Speaker 3 (26:30):
I mean I'm not going I'm like a mock.

Speaker 7 (26:31):
Wait, but you can just put start butte more time,

Speaker 5 (26:55):

Speaker 3 (26:56):
Is that the guy in Alabama?

Speaker 5 (26:57):
What is that? Dude?

Speaker 3 (26:58):
I don't. I got to hear more about that later.
Much luck to go?

Speaker 2 (27:01):
Okay, thank you, Okay, let's go to Joe damn alligator
Joe's and Jackson?

Speaker 5 (27:08):
Is it? No?

Speaker 1 (27:09):
This is probably angry Bill. I'm guessing. I don't think
he's putting the angry Bill. Hello, sir, you're on the air. Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Yeah,
it's angry Bill calling up is Joe? Why would you
call up as Joe? You're angry Bill?

Speaker 3 (27:21):
Call I didn't call up his Joe. Talk to your
guy because from Jackson, that.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
Says Joe and jack back Bill say, man, he doesn't.
He spits a loogie at you. He tells me he
hates you, is what he tells me.

Speaker 3 (27:33):
Who hates me?

Speaker 1 (27:34):
Nobody hates everyone hates you. No, no, no, no no,
the listeners hate.

Speaker 3 (27:39):
You hate me. Let's get onto this brilliant guy from Ohio.
They must grow ants under rocks in Ohio for this
coach that coaches Ohio. How do you have the best receiver,
the best college player and probably the best professional receiver, okay,
in all of sports, you use him one touch in

(27:59):
the third quarter when you're losing. Just somebody, let me
give you an idea of where this guy's brains were. Okay,
and must match all the other people in Ohio. It
is absolutely stupid what this guy did. Insane. Okay, then
he starts using in the fourth quarter when it's nine
minutes left. Where and on the pregame show these brilliant

(28:23):
guys that are sitting there laughing around and joking saying,
this guy is the best thing since bread and butter.

Speaker 2 (28:30):
It would also help if occasionally, and I want to
be a negative, the Ohio State defense would like stop
Michigan in the second half.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
That would I think, Well.

Speaker 3 (28:39):
If you can't control that, he's the guy that's his
best offensive weapon. One touch in the third quarter when
you're losing. But this guy should be fired. The best
coaching college coach in the country, Well, you got to
be kidding me. This guy couldn't change a pair of diapers.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
So you're of.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
The mindset dad right day who has a eight eighty
nine winning percentage.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
But because he can't be Michigan lately that he's done.

Speaker 6 (29:08):
No, how about how about.

Speaker 3 (29:09):
He's beaten people thirty five to ten against Saint Mary's
Home of the Blind.

Speaker 1 (29:15):
What's what's wrong with sam May Blind? They got a
good team Sat Mary's Home with the Blind.

Speaker 3 (29:20):
These college teams run up scores against pushover button, barely
could beat high school teams. This is ridiculous to schedules
in colors.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
Okay, yeah, tell me, tell me, come on, Yes, I'm
an expert. I'm a g I have a microphone and headphones.
I'm immediately an expert. All the answers, But the Ohio
State defense, this is a stat in the second half
the last couple of games Michigan against Ohio State, they've
had I think twelve touchdowns, three field goals, second half drives. Here,

(29:54):
it's like a ridiculous stat that Ohio State's only stopped
Michigan I think twice in the second half last couple
of years on drives, and three of those drouts were
just running out the clock for Michigan because the game
was in the victory formation and all that. It is
the Ben mal Show, so we need some contestants before
we get to that though, floating on the lazy river

(30:16):
and it's more of a visual thing. Deontay Johnson of
the Pittsburgh Steelers. Now, we've seen guys over the years
randomly not make any effort and just be complete just
I can't say what I want to say because we're
on the radio by that, but just not hustling. But
Deontay Johnson made absolutely no effort. There was a fumble
ball down fumble and the Bengals recovered right in front

(30:41):
of him. But Deondrey Johnson, who's been griping with other
members of the Steelers family, who's not even that good
Deontay Johnson. He was a third round pick out of Toledo.
But this is like a new level of laziness. And
we'll find out. If I was Mike Tomlin and I
had a player do that who wasn't that great a player,
I would just release the guy. But something tells me

(31:04):
the Steelers are not going to do that because they
still think Deontay Johnson's God's gift to the receiver position
and he's gonna be great.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
But you tell me, the boss fumbled right in front
of you, right in front of you and you make
no effort. I gets fascinating.

Speaker 2 (31:19):
Like you play one game a week, you're on the
field half the time. If that as a wide receiver
and you can't make any effort, that's next level.

Speaker 1 (31:28):
Like I know lazy. I work in radio. There's a
lot of lazy people on radio. They like one report,
do it all night. They're lazy.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
But that is like, my god, what are you doing?
You play a certain number of snaps, you can' hustle anyway.
The video is amazing. Deontay Johnson will see the fallout
of that coming up here the next day or so.
Straight ahead the Malor Militia Feud. If you'd like to
play eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox, we need
two contestants. Eight seven seven nine nine six six threes

(31:56):
six ' nine. We will get to the Malor Militia
feud and we will.

Speaker 1 (31:59):

Speaker 5 (34:30):
Air conditioning that is that is yes, that is correct.

a time people did not have air conditioning in cars.
And Nathan, you get to go again, name something?

Speaker 6 (34:46):

Speaker 5 (34:47):
