Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Welcome as we get cracking an our number wad of
the original recipe podcast now here in our number one,
it's all about the storyline involving Caleb Williams, an NFL player.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
Didn't put his name on it, but came out.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
And said, Kayler Williams has to be Patrick Mahomes level
good to live up to the hype.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
Is that fair or not fair?

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Also, Aaron Rogers not seen as a top fifty NFL
player by an anonymous executive, the executive saying he doesn't
move as he used to. Do you agree or disagree
with that analysis of Rogers? And Jerry Jones recently said
that nobody could run the Cowboys better than him? How

(00:44):
do you assess that one? What a humdinger of a quote,
that is. We'll get to all of it and much more.
We're just getting started here. It's our number one, the.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
Deep dish of expectations.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
Welcome in um peginning of another night of the bag
Maler Show. We are in the air everywhere, taking up
bandwidth as we are overnight buddies coast, the coast, border,
the border and beyond on the mast and bluntly powerful

mister nice guys saw that the other day. Better lead
this hour from the Second City. A lot of buzz
as we have the calm before the storm. No NFL

(02:14):
action on the field this week. We've got to wait
till a.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
Week from tomorrow. This will being our Wednesday show. I
know it's that weird time.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
It's still late on Tuesday on the West Coast, but
we're heading into Wednesday, and a week from tomorrow the
NFL season begins, and so we count down to that.

Speaker 4 (02:35):
Now.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
One of the storylines, if you've been paying attention here
is Caleb Williams, who has been given the gate code
to the Chicago Bears Jamboree.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
When the season begins.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
Now, the Bears play on that first Sunday at September
eighth against the Tennessee Titans, and it's on, like, don't
get on for the Chicago Bears. Caleb Williams will be
calling the shots in the huddle.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
And I have read a.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Number of glowing reviews from Putnan's about Caleb Williams, but
this has also led to the other side. Not only
is he getting his toes tickled, there is extreme pressure. Now,
if you haven't heard this part of the story, maybe not.
I think that's the more interesting part of the story.
An anonymous NFC South player, all right, we know who,

(03:24):
but some random NFC South player said that if Caleb
Williams does not come out of the gates playing at
Patrick Mahomes like levels, that he is going to be
a bust in everybody's eyes. That's a pretty good quote.
We agree on that that's a pretty good quote. So
let us discuss the question. Caleb Williams has to be

(03:47):
Patrick Mahomes level two point.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
Zero if you will to live up to the hype.
Fair or not fair?

Speaker 2 (03:57):
I've got Marvel Comics handwriting and braggadocio, and we will
combine all of these things together and we're gonna make
the Gabba gool.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
We're gonna make the Gabba goool.

Speaker 5 (04:08):
So numb burn.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Yeah, after an expedited Malard Booth review, this is both
feet in bounds.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
The call is fair.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
It's not not not fair. It's fair now for me.
It's not that complicated. It's not it. It's just the
way it is. It's Marvel comics. It's my spidy like senses. Say,
with great power comes great responsibility. It's part of the bundle.
When you're the number one over, you're in the caffird scene,

(04:47):
get the extra money. You also get the sky high expectations.
It's a package deal. It's a package deal. It's part
of the bundle. And Patrick Hoolmes is the measuring stick.
He's way out in front of everyone else. And so
you look at the Bears. This is an opportunity. There
a chance to seize the opportunity for Caleb Williams. But

(05:10):
the Bears my entire life, the Bears have had a
good team maybe four times my entire li I'm getting old.
The Bears have not had greatness at quarterbacks since before
I was around, I got named Sid Luckman. Okay, which
just sounds like an old time name, right, Sid Luckman,
That's an old name. Williams has all the tools, He's

(05:32):
got the skill set for greatness. However, as we have
learned to slay the dragon of expectations, it takes more
than just having the tools to do it. And based
on what I have seen of Caleb Williams, this is
a guy that strikes me as thin skin. Is that

(05:52):
a correct call or is that an incorrect call? I
I'm just going by what I've seen in his days
in college.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
He was coddled at Oklahoma.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
He is even more coddle th s see in his
penthouse apartment in the sky there overlooking all of the
south Land. So does he have enough scar tissue under
those amazing nails? I don't know what color they are,
but but does he have enough scar tissue to be
able to withstand the immense criticism?

Speaker 6 (06:22):
Right?

Speaker 2 (06:23):
Because having your ass kissed is a gateway drug to
being soft and so in order to overcome at first
in which everyone will have, right, that's just part of
the human condition. We all have adversity, no matter whether
you're an NFL player, or you're you're delivering packages for Amazon,
doesn't matter. Whatever you're doing cleaning toilets, you come to

(06:44):
that one toilet, which is disgusting, you're like, oh man,
that's adversity. So we'll see how it plays out. Now,
page two. Here to the voice of the people, or
at least some random voice in pro football and another
anonymous NFL person This is the time of the year
where the anonymous become very synonymous with sports radio. So

(07:08):
an NFL personnel director an evaluator, we don't know who
behind a paywall at the Old Gray Lady, the Athletic
The New York Times bought it. So this NFL personnel
evaluator to be named later or not, is pushing back
on the idea that Eerit Ragers.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
Will be a top fifty player in the league this year.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
The personnel evaluator does not believe that he will be
that because.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
He has lost his mobility over the last couple of years.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
Now, Rogers not seen as a top fifty player by
this anonymous executive who actually gave this quote saying he
doesn't move.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
As he used to.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
Do You agree or disagree, So I'm gonna agree with
this unnamed person, I'm gonna agree without seeing Rogers play
at all. This resonates with me because he hadn't played
in these who Gays the exhibition games. Even if he
did play, it wouldn't really tell us a lot. But

(08:15):
to me, I look at Rogers and the handwriting is
on the wall. We're gearing up for the maiden voyage
of Benny Versus the Penny season two here, and as
we get ready for that first show, we've been kicking
around with the producers some of the storylines. We're gonna
be talking about it, and I'm sure Aaron Rodgers' name
will come up when that show debuts. And you're looking

(08:36):
at some of the numbers for the year, it's impossible
to argue to me.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
The other way.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
If you look at all of the variables. Rogers is
going into his age forty one season. He's coming off
a shredded achilles. But wait, there's more. If you circle
back to the last days at lambbow Field. People don't
like to talk about this, but Rogers was doing some yoga.
He was doing the downward dog with the Packers. Now,

(09:03):
what is my evidence in his final season with the
Green Bay Packers, way back in twenty twenty two. I
barely remember his last year there in Wisconsin, Rogers was
the seventeenth ranked quarterback. You can do the math on
that seventeenth r en quarterback Daniel Jones, who blows, was
slightly better than Aaron Rodgers's last year. So the idea

(09:26):
that Roger's going to get better now when you're playing
with the Jets. When you play with the Jets, it's
like a ten yard holding penalty when you get possession
of the ball.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
All right, final point. We head to Dallas.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
Why I am contractually obligated for the obligatory Mallard monologue
to annoy you with the Cowboys deep in the heart
of Texas. Now, we can't go more than an hour
without bloviating about our favorite octagenarian Jerry Jones in his
early eighties here now, Jerry recently said that nobody could

(10:03):
run the Cowboys better than him.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
He said it. I saw the quote.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
He told one of his buddies, one of the beat
writers for the Cowboys, So how do you assess this one?

Speaker 1 (10:14):
So the easy answer.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
Would be, all right, this is just Jerry being Jerry,
But it really is the essence of the Cowboy way.
It is an extreme helping of braggadocia, right, being braggadocious.
Everything is bigger in Texas, especially the bombastic bluster of
good old Jerry, and Jerry Jones is admitting by saying

(10:38):
no one could be better, nobody could run the Cowboys
better since the late eighties, Jerry Jones is admitting the
Cowboys are just snake bit that nobody can win with
the Cowboys because there's some kind of hex, there's some
kind of spell that has been put and they need
a seance to remove whatever demons are haunting the Dallas Cowboys.
But we continue to have a love hate relationship with

(10:59):
your I've got no skin in the game, not a
cowboy person, I'm not. He's great for what I do,
and as long as I have a job like this,
I'm very happy.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
With Jerry Jones. He's good for commerce. He moves the needle.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
There's not a lot of those type people in sports
left that move the needle across the board, but he's one.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
Of them, and we will miss him when he's gone.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
He's a character and it's great and so we'll enjoy
these final years, the twilight years of Jerry Jones in
Dallas and not many others would say nobody else could
run a team that hasn't won anything since before social
media back, I mean way before.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
So social media the cowboys last one of the mid nineties.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
Social Media didn't really become a thing until the early
odts when it became a thing. So there's a lot
going on there. It is the Ben Malord Show, and
we are open for business. In fact, we never close.
Fox Sports Radio is a twenty four to seven operation.
It's our bodega. So if you want a turkey sandwich,

(12:04):
you can get that. You want some booze cigarettes, whatever
you need, we got everything you need right here to
one stop shop and we're open all night.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
Don't steal anything. Be polite, Be polite.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
We do have a bathroom, but you must buy something
to use the bathroom, So you can't just come in
here without using without buying something, you can't use the bathroom.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
That's just the way the way it is. Unfortunately.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
All right, straight ahead, we'll take your calls also on
X at Ben Malard we read a lot of comments,
high volume, high volume social media interaction, so.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
Follow me on there. More likely to read your comment
than none.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
I probably will ignore you if you don't follow me
because you don't care enough about the show to follow me,
So screw you. But we'll read some delicious commentary from
the mald malicious social media wing of the show on
x at Ben Mahler and straight Ahead. An NFL quarterback
has gone viral because of a side hustle of soort worts.

(13:00):
We'll get to that, and we will do it next.

Speaker 5 (13:07):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maler

As everybody knows, we're the hosts of the award winning
Polly and Tony Foodsco.

Speaker 5 (13:22):
Show. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (13:22):
But instead of us telling you how great we are,
here's how Dan Patrick described us when he came on
our show.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
Quick, knowledgeable and funny, opinionated.

Speaker 5 (13:32):
What are you doing?

Speaker 1 (13:32):
We were interrupting our promo.

Speaker 5 (13:34):
Yeah, you wasn't talking about you. You took those clips
totally of context.

Speaker 7 (13:39):
Oh yeah, Well, after this promo, I'm gonna take you
out and beat you.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
Let me put this into context. Shut up.

Speaker 7 (13:45):
Yeah, anyway, just listen to the Polly and Tony Fosco
Show on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts for wherever you get your podcasts.

Speaker 8 (13:52):
Ye, the Ben Malor Show is a collaborative effort. You're
invited to communicate with those of us on this side
of the microps. You can follow your host on x
he's at Ben Mallor and you can post that and
follow me. Eddie Garcia, your humble sidekick, the voice of Reason,
your news guy. You're announcer guy. I'm at Eddie on Fox.

(14:12):
I feel like smoking some Mary Jane right now and
alive from litiract dot com, Fox Sports Radio Studios.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
It's Ben Mallor, Big Night Ahead. We're just getting started.
It is a smooth flight, no turbulence. Well maybe a
little turbulence from when we get to our three and
the Queen of Hearts with Lorena, But up until there
it should be a smooth flight. And then later on
we'll have password the word Game of the Stars. Texas

(14:42):
Trucker rights since as being in the heart of Cowboy Country.
If they ever win a.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
Super Bowl, I'm going to have to move.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
The Texas Trucker says he's from the Pacific Northwest. He
is a relocation situation to Texas. He says, their fans
are just as delirious as their owner. We got a
little taste of that starting next Sunday, Cowboy Dan. If
the Cowboys beat the Browns and the opener, Cowboy Dan
will call up, how about them?

Speaker 1 (15:10):
Cowboy Yeah?

Speaker 5 (15:13):
Ay.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
Shannon de moyne is still stuck on yesterday's show, he says,
the talking about the program yesterday, great third hour monologue
yesterday about Jordan Montgomery already already has a world series ring,
So if he doesn't mind losing, I'd welcome him to
my Mariners. He may never be heard from again after that, though, Yeah,

(15:35):
it'd be cool. I wouldn't live in downtown Seattle. I'd
live out in the suburbs. Beautiful outside Seattle, downtown Seattle, Craple,
but outside the suburbs, beautiful around there, wonderful Mickey.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
In state forty eight, which I think means Arizona. He says.
I wish we had surgeons and pilots call into the show.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
Instead, we have the likes of Jed who fled and
spokes weed.

Speaker 9 (16:00):
I'm the doctor.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
Yeah, we actually do have a lot of really smart
people that like to show they don't like to admit
They don't like to admit it. In fact, when I
was at the meet and greet in Charleston, a couple
of the guys, the older guys, they came up to
me and they're.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
Like doctors I've met.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
We were at one in Syracuse, and Chip and the
Q's can back me up on this. One of the
guys that showed up at the meet and greet we
did in Syracuse was a professor at Syracuse. So those
are the people that don't usually call in. They just
like the train wreck aspect of the show meeting.

Speaker 1 (16:36):
They enjoy that super market.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
Steve, giving us tales from the market, says, I would
love to visit the Ben Malor convenience store with their
bathroom policy. I'm sure the walking into the store is
filled with nothing but pea stains and PCs from all
the homeless people that you didn't let use the bathroom.
He says.

Speaker 1 (16:58):
People are savages.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
Hell yeah, he claims, so when they have to use
the bathroom. I've seen a lady dress to the nines
as squat on a TP aisle and then go to
the bathroom because both restrooms were occupied and she had.

Speaker 6 (17:15):
To go in My opinion that suck.

Speaker 2 (17:18):
Now, Steve does point out supermarket Steve that the story
does have a happy ending. She bought the package of
toilet paper that she used right there in the middle
of the aisle, so that was nicer. Now I gotta say, classy,
you don't want to be rude. Chip and the cues
I just mentioned him, He says a plus on the
mal of monologue. Whether or not Caleb Williams is going
to be the next Patrick Mahomes or just another player

(17:39):
with the million dollar body and the ten cent head,
Only time will tell. Josh Wright, since says a plus
on the monologue, safe to say Mahomes has been anointed
as the baby goat if he already has been placed
on a seemingly impossible bar to reach for Killer Willods
correct me if I'm wrong. Every team in the NFL

(17:59):
has reached the championship game since nineteen ninety five. I'd
have to go back. I don't think that doesn't sound
right to me. I'm sure there's a one or two that,
if not, the Lions were like the last So you're
maybe you're right.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
I have to go back and look.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
Chris in the Moines, says Jamis is available for a
seventh round pick and three pounds of crab legs. Chris
and de Moines says, those are extra crispy krab legs.
Extra crispy. Yeah, tell me Miami Danny, who used to
be Nashville Danny says, you're bearing the lead, my man
carrying the water for the rams worst trade of all time. So,

(18:37):
Miami Danny has no concept of broadcasting. He wants to
do narrow casting. He lives in Miami, He's from Nashville.
He would like me to dedicate valuable national airtime on
over six hundred affiliates a global audience on iHeart and
We're all over the place. He wants me to spend
time talking about a linebacker that no one's ever heard of,

(18:59):
traded from them to the Tennessee Tights.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
You doun't say so.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
In other words, Miami Danny would like to get me fired,
because if I do that and my boss is here,
I will be humiliated, I will be emasculated, and I
will be kicked out of the building.

Speaker 4 (19:15):
This concludes broadcast.

Speaker 2 (19:18):
I've already triggered Andy the comic book guy, and I
haven't even gotten to my hour four. Mallard monologue, which
will be about the false idol the quarterback there the
Buffalo Bills.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
We'll save that for later.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
Yeah, exactly, unbelievable. All right, it is the Ben Malor Show,
as we are.

Speaker 1 (19:40):
A rolling, rolling, rolling.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
On here, and we'll get to the NFL quarterback that
has gone viral for a bit of a side hustle.
We'll get to that as well, and we'll take some calls.
In fact, why don't we start out and we'll say
hello to Big Daddy in Memphis, Hello, big Daddy?

Speaker 1 (19:59):
What's going on on?

Speaker 6 (20:00):
To all my fans and all my petition? Only I'm
kind of disappointed as the right. I mean, she's likes
the teams and get a couple of them, like, come on, right,
he got that. You gotta do better than that. I'm
gonna call in Wain lose the draw. You already know that.
I'm calling in Wain lose the draw. And I hope
we gained more than six games this year.

Speaker 1 (20:23):
Yeah, maybe seven? Maybe maybe seven? Things are breaking right?

Speaker 2 (20:27):
Oh, The issue is never the regular season. It's always
the playoffs that's the issue. Unless somebody gets hurt. Outside
of somebody getting hurt, the Cowboys should be fine.

Speaker 5 (20:36):
Right.

Speaker 6 (20:36):
You know, you know Tom doing our game. How many
times you think he's gonna mess up in his debut?
You know he broadcasting the Cowboys and the Browns game.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
Yeah, well it doesn't it doesn't matter. That's gonna be
the top rated NFL game on Sunday.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
So with the first every every Cowboy game. So Brady,
I'm guessing, based on what I've heard from media puns,
Tom Brady is going to have his toes licked no
matter what he says. That he's already being worshiped and
he hasn't done anything like I I I thought he's
I heard I heard his podcast with Jim Gray.

Speaker 1 (21:12):
I thought it was horrible. It was boring, there was
nothing entertaining about it. But people were like, oh, this
is wonderful.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
It's so good it is it must be great to
not have any like a lot of these jock podcasts
are terrible.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
They're unlistenable, garbage, and.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
Yet and yet and yet people I don't get it.
I mean, there's nothing there, there's no there there. I
don't understand, but people seem to love him.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
I guess you would think.

Speaker 6 (21:37):
About them playing the game, they will have a little
bit more, you know, to go with it.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
Well, it is a it is a different skill set,
as you know, Big Daddy, it's a little bit different.
To play and to talk about something are two different things,
and sometimes you're.

Speaker 1 (21:52):
Able to pull it out.

Speaker 2 (21:52):
Charles Barkley, greatest broadcaster in sports, he pulled it off.

Speaker 6 (21:58):
Retired, come back get it.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
Well, for every char every Charles Barkley, there's ten thousand
Emmett Smith or Joe Montanas who are terrible as broadcasters.

Speaker 1 (22:09):
So that's the problem.

Speaker 6 (22:09):
Yeah, man, all right, man, you.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
Week one, we'd like to alert all the electorate that
week one. Big Daddy will check back in not until
week one, so you have to You'll have to wait
till that and and then that'll be fine. So an
NFL player going viral for a very awkward situation. Roster
cut down time, NFL teams cutting down from ninety man

(22:35):
rosters to fifty three man rosters always a big day
at my house.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
I don't know about your house, but man, we always
look forward to this.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
We get out our our bingo cards and we start
filling things out. So one of the roster moves, which
likely did not resonate with you, the Aerozon Cardinals who
are barely an NFL team.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
They fired Desmond Ridder.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
Now in sports, they don't say you're fired, they say
you're cut, but you're really fired. So they fired him.
He was fighting for the backup spot with the Cardinals.
Now he was the starter last year for the Atlanta Falcons,
was a third round pick in twenty twenty two, and
now he lost the backup battle to Clayton Tooney in Arizona.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
Who good thought it was just tune?

Speaker 8 (23:23):
Is it, tony hoo?

Speaker 1 (23:24):
Goof? It's more fun when you say tune. Okay, God,
you screw up all my jokes. Eddie, my god. Anyway,
it's a joke.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
Yes, I was going, oh, my god, you have no
sense of humor or comic timing at all.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
Terrible joke.

Speaker 2 (23:38):
That's the whole point of the show, and you're just
figuring it out.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
My god.

Speaker 2 (23:46):
He got fired right, they said we'll get out of here.
And immediately after that he went viral. He went viral
because of a advertisement that he shot last year when
he was the starter for the Atlanta Falcons. You and

(24:07):
this is a bit, And in fact, they did it
again this year, some of the advertisers, but Desmond Ridder
of the commercial, if you didn't see it, shows him
when he was the quarterback of the Atlanta Falcons and
he was working as a door Dash delivery person and
dropping off different products or whatever. And so of course

(24:27):
the the interweb pointing out, well, now he can go
back to his day job and work for the for
the door Dash, you got to hustle to make any money.
We got our guy in Minnesota who's the number one
Uber eats in Minnesota, and so I mean, you got
a hustle. You can't just be lazy and make any money.

(24:48):
If you're lazy, you're not gonna make any money.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
Anyway.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
That was that was the music the h Maybe the
tenth time I saw the commercial, I was like, okay,
I've seen it on off I I don't think it's
that funny anymore.

Speaker 5 (24:59):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller

couple other names you might know. Bailey Zappi was cut
by the Patriots, Kadarius Tony waved by the Kansaity Chiefs.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
There's a shock.

Speaker 2 (25:55):
Or didn't he rip Andy Reid before the playoff or

is not related to my podcast at all, the Fifth
Dollar Podcast, Travis and Jason Kelsey cashing in. They got
a contract for their podcast worth more than one hundred
million dollars.

Speaker 1 (26:38):
Damn.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
I text a buddy of mine who is close to
the NFL. I said, how much do you think that
podcast is worth? If Jason Kelsey is dating a kindergarten teacher?
And he started classing sent a response back, but boy,
he you talk about writing the Taylor Swifty train and

(27:01):
they've got to be banging. I guess the Amazon group
bought it, a wing of Amazon Podcasting bought it for
ad sales and distribution rights. Oh okay, well good for them,
and uh yeah, I don't think that's gonna Do you
think I can get maybe? Uh, I don't know one

(27:22):
percent of that one hundred million?

Speaker 1 (27:24):
Could I get that? Probably not? Probably not. Yeah, there's no.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
Way to make that money back, right, I mean, there's
no you're not. That's that's gonna be a lost leader.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
There's no way you're gonna be able to make that
money back. But hey, it's not my money.

Speaker 2 (27:41):
And you know Amazon, we all buy that Amazon, most
of us buy that Amazon Prime.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
I don't know. I'm always getting packages at the house. Uh,
the wife orders there.

Speaker 10 (27:50):
So it's like, hey, money, money, money, money, money, money,
It's all about the money.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
Let's go back to the calls and we'll say hello
to Eenie meenie miney mo. Let's say hello to tiger
Man in Utah. Hello, tiger Man, Hey, you know.

Speaker 9 (28:38):
I just want to apologize because, yeah, I know that
you and Lincoln Riley of the Buddies, you know, living
in that really small town of LA. And yeah, I
think after we beat them by forty two on Sunday,
I don't know how long he's going to be in
LA for after that. So yeah, I just want to
apologize and hopefully you guys know, I can out and

(29:00):
do all that good stuff before he leaves LA.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
You're slightly excited there, Tiger Man you're a little little
too excited, a little bit, a little bit.

Speaker 9 (29:12):
They county down the hours for this for for a
long time, and you know, yeah, like it's gonna be
a great game football season.

Speaker 1 (29:24):
It's if it's are you ready for some football?

Speaker 2 (29:26):
If it's a great game, it's not going to be
a forty point a game. And I would say the
value is on on SC that's the getting four and
a half points, that's the value play there. SC's problems
with Lincoln Riley happen usually later in the year. They
don't happen early in the year. As the year goes on,
they're soft. His teams are soft, and they wear down

(29:46):
and they fall apart, especially when the weather gets cold.
But the weather will be fine and it won't be
a factor. So put that you're piping stroking here. That's
so you know, we are they.

Speaker 5 (29:58):
Playing the game.

Speaker 2 (29:59):
They're not playing the game there, They're not playing the
game in your backyard, Tiger, I get it.

Speaker 9 (30:06):
I get it. Then you know, hey, like look, damn,
I'm just excited. Like the weather's cold, ski seasons around
the corner. We got football Florida State TWI.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
I'm pretty sure that if it if it's thirty nine
in Vegas in late August. That game is being played
at the Legion Stadium this weekend, one of those kickoff games.

Speaker 1 (30:26):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (30:26):
Then there's a lot of problems. There's a lot of
problems in the word if it's thirty nine. So I
think we'll be okay. It's a dome, so what's that?

Speaker 5 (30:36):
Who are you looking for?

Speaker 6 (30:37):
Though?

Speaker 9 (30:38):
I mean, you know, you know, man, I think I'm
you know, a decent collar, and I just want to
know that you're backing us, and and then I'll be fine.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
You know, my I don't I bet on Saddleback College,
And then whoever I bet on, I have no bet
on that game.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
So I really don't have much much interest in it.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
So we tell you something. You want me to suck
up to you, but it's going to be. By the way,
the forecast in Vegas this for this game.

Speaker 1 (31:09):
Let's see you. Let's see forecast. This is Sunday.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
So the high in Vegas on Sunday one hundred and four,
one hundred.

Speaker 1 (31:16):
And four, so very cold. And it's a dome, all right?
Thank you?

Speaker 2 (31:23):
Hang up on yourself, please go away? Can you explain
the picture? See d lamb, He's buying dinner. Ceedee Lamb
is buying dinner. He also attempted to explain the viral
spider Man spider Man spider Man photo.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
That popped up.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
You might remember that we wasted valuable talk radio time
discussing the photo and breaking it down during an award
winning Malle monologue. Well, CD, now that he has paid
or gotten paid, he has announced the Cowboy Wide Receiver
that that.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
Meant he is out for vengeance, just like Spider Man.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
That's why he posted the Spider Man photo on the
GRAM during the contract negotiation seed he say that is
his favorite superhero and he's entering.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
His villain arc and coming back for vengeance. So that's
what that.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
Bider Many spider Man spider just like guys, knockout a
real web slinger until the playoffs start. Then he loses
his spider webs and it all falls apart. But up
until then, things are going very well. Things are going well,

(32:50):
very well for him. I timed out for the who
Am I Game? And we'll go to the NFL for
the who Am I Game. Bill's quarterback Josh Allen has
the most touch downs and turnovers in the NFL since
twenty twenty. That makes Josh Allen the first quarterback to
pull this elusive feed off in a four year period

(33:11):
since me. It is very rare that you can lead
the NFL in both categories. So again, Josh Allen the Bills.
He's got the most touchdowns and the most turnovers in
the NFL since twenty twenty. That makes him the first
quarterback to pull this off over a four year period
since me.

Speaker 1 (33:32):
Who Am I? The answer? We'll get to it. We
will do it next.

Speaker 1 (34:14):
Here's the who Am I?

Speaker 2 (34:15):
Game?

Speaker 1 (34:17):
A one man band named Josh Allen.

Speaker 2 (34:21):
That's the Bills quarterback who was worshiped by a group
called Bill's Mafia.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
Josh Allen has.

Speaker 2 (34:27):
The most touchdowns and the most turnovers in the NFL
since way back during the pandemic in twenty twenty, making
him the first quarterback to pull off that very elusive
feat over a four year period. Since me, who am I?
That is the question? What is the answer? And let's

(34:49):
see it as anyone I know the answer? I did
want to point out Matthew Warrior Raider fan says, since
nineteen ninety five, the Dolphins, Texans, Browns, and Commanders have
not been to a conference championship.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
That came up earlier.

Speaker 2 (35:01):
Ferg Dog also says Clayton Tooney, you are so funny, Ben,
unlike Stick in the Mud Eddie exactly, Fergy Jack, that's
my point.

Speaker 1 (35:10):
Let's see here. Who's got the answer?

Speaker 2 (35:12):
Miami Danny's going with Ernest Jones his new favorite Tennessee Titan.
Try to keep your pants on you talk about him?
Marcus Spears got it otherwise known as Da Boy, Malcolm
Stan Humphries from Kyle JaMarcus Russell guests by Chip in
the Ques HBK, Shawn Michaels from Slim Tim, Peter Parker

(35:33):
from Random, Ryan in Carolina, Billy White Shoes, Johnson from
the Fat Daddy.

Speaker 1 (35:38):
Who else do you have?

Speaker 2 (35:39):
Areak in Minnesota says you are Dante Tiny Hands Culpeper
Wally in Florida going with Joe Namath, Mark says Ryan Fitzpatrick.
The Amish rifle is the way to go. Josh got
it right. Bad job by him, Phil n I E
K r O. That's a knuckleball pitcher from the Arabs.

(36:00):
Back in the Vegas by Terry in England. Page down
Supermarket Steve says, how could this not be mister thirty touchdowns,
thirty turnovers Jamis Winston. By the way, you misspelled his name,
Supermarket Steve.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
Bad job by you.

Speaker 2 (36:17):
Bruce Gradkowski from Double Ow, Mexican doing the Carnival dot
Carnivore diet right now, Joe going with the iconic Babel Offenburg.

Speaker 1 (36:25):
That's a great name. Who else do you have?

Speaker 2 (36:27):
Page down, mister unlimited the obvious answer from Andy of
Lion o' Lakes. We've got Trucker, Joe, says the caller
formerly known as Real Talk.

Speaker 1 (36:37):
Boom Boom boom, boom boom. What's up Ben, my dude?

Speaker 2 (36:42):
Yeah, Jennifer Lopez from the Texas Trucker Clayton Tooney from
ferg Dog. Very funny there, Eddie. Do you have an answered?
Is not sid vicious? Rest in peace? From Rob in Vegas.

Speaker 8 (36:55):
I'm gonna go with another Buffalo Bill's quarterback. That would
be E. J. Manuel the Great Manual. Fine answer, it
is incorrect. Bad job by you. Eloy from Compton got
it right. The correct answer would be none other than
Brett Farve in.

Speaker 5 (37:09):
The late nineties.

Speaker 1 (37:12):
The only difference.

Speaker 2 (37:12):
Between Farv and Allen is that when Brett Farv went
four years leading the NFL in touchdowns and interceptions, he
won not one but two Super Bowls and one two
League MVP. So slightly different experience than the Bills fans
are getting from Josh Allen.

Speaker 1 (37:27):
But what do I know? Let's say hello to Andre
and the Commonwealth. Hello Andre, Welcome.

Speaker 4 (37:35):
Hello Ben, very very good to be with you this evening.
I have to say you started off the conversate to
the show talking about what Caleb Williams is experiencing, and
he's a guy with a lot of confidence.

Speaker 3 (37:47):
Ben.

Speaker 4 (37:48):
You know, coming to the NFL trying to dictate the
terms term on which team he's going to play for.
Has his whole like fashion style thing. He wants to
kind of be the maestro to master of ceremony. But
I got to say the expectations on him a little
bit overstated, a little bit frankly outlined. If he doesn't
come in like gangbusters like Patrick Mahomes and he's a

(38:09):
bus folks. Let's remember, first of all, thinking about this
the other day, Patrick Mahomes was a diamond in the
rock bend, right Andy Reid spotted him. Knew that's the
storyline in and of itself. How I know miss Trubisky
was the second pick, was the creepy quarterback number one
in that's raft. I'm not sure, but you know what
I mean. Patrick Mahomes there in the middle.

Speaker 1 (38:30):
Of the first Well you do, Andre, I mean you
will leave it there. You do bring up a great
point that Mahomes. Nobody thought Mahomes was going to be Mahomes.

Speaker 2 (38:37):
In fact, people were questioning why the Chiefs made that
move because they had Alex Smith at the time, and like,
what are they doing in Kansas City. I don't understand
what's going on with Andy Reid. He had too much
for lunch or something that day of the draft.
