Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's our dumb bird two as we run down the
clock here in our number two and it's week seven
of the NFL kicking off last night Broncos and Saints.
How do you categorize the performance by New Orleans rookie
quarterback Spencer.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
Ratler Spider alert? He sucked?

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Also, where does this loss leave the unbattled Dennis Allen
Or with the Saints as coach? And on the other side,
what's the vibe for Sean Payton he returned to the
Bayou with the Broncos. We'll discuss that as well. It's
all come your way right now here. It is our number.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
Two X communicated from the good teams.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Malor Show. We are in the air everywhere using pitchforks
as we are the real thing Coast stunt cooast, border,
the border and beyond on and candidly powerful microphones of

(01:03):
fs are amminating live from the nest as we hang

Speaker 1 (01:29):
I know, not a burner account, a fan of that.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
So we talking about the NLCS last hour, Dodgers one
went away from exterminating the Metropolitans from the playoffs. We'll
talk more about that later. We'll get to the Yankees later.
Our lead this hour.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
From football.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
It's all about the football, football and football football, football.
So on the on the shores of the Mighty Mississippi.
The curtain went up on week seven of the NFL season.
He had Al Michael's there Errick herb Street, Herbie. They

(02:07):
had the call on the Amazon, and I was flipping
all over the I mean this was I was trying
to watch three things at one time. I was attempting
to watch three sporting events at one time. So my
right hand was getting a workout. I was going from
the Yankees, Guardians, Dodgers met started. And then shortly after

(02:28):
that you had the Sunday night game, Sean.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
Payton leading the Broncos.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Riding in there on their horse of victory, a return
to the Bayou, a little playdate with his former team,
the Saints. Where you locked in on this game? Do
you hate baseball and only like about you know football?

Speaker 1 (02:47):
That's it. So we flipped around and around and around.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
We were here, there and everywhere thanks to our trusty
remote and Javante Williams and Stilly at eighty eight yards
and a pair of touchdowns and Denver cooked a big
bowl of gumbo for coach Sean Payton and his return
to New Orleans as they bludgeoned the Saints thirty three
to ten in a game that was not that close

(03:12):
on Thursday night. The Broncos are a winning team after
seven games. That hasn't happened in a fair amount of time.
Broncos are four and three, and they ran for over.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
Two hundred yards.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
They had two hundred and twenty five yards on the ground,
averaged almost six and a half yards per carry. And
while that is impressive, we'll get to them in a minute.
The better story is in the losing locker room, as
the team from Louisiana has been starting a young buck
at quarterback the last couple of games. So let us

(03:45):
discuss the question, how do you categorize the performance by
Saints rookie Spencer Rattler. All right, so I've got mop
and bucket, subtraction and Hannibal and we will come buying
all of these things together, and we are going to
have a hissy fit because Matt, the fan of the

(04:11):
Raiders and the Warriors and Tom Brady, he had a
hissy fit and turned off his social media.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
He's so distraught because he didn't like what he was hearing.
So number.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
To answer the question, how do you categorize the performance
by the rookie Spencer Rattler.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
It was saucy, as in weak sauce.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
Spencer Ratler got a chance, the chance of a lifetime,
to be the starting quarterback in the NFL to show
people you got a little something.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
He was in the big chair, right in the big chair,
except he needed a high chair.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
Averaging less than five yards per pass, fumbled not once,
but twice. He oversaw eleven drives. New Orleans had six punts,
two fumbles, one field goal, and.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
One turnover downs.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
Wow, when the other team runs the ball for a
yard and a half more than you complete passes, something
isn't working.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
But what do I know? That was a hot, gooey mess,
is what that was.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
Rattler was given the audition right there the casting couch,
and he suffered from extreme perspiration and he needed a
mop and a bucket.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
Is what he needed here.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
The flop sweat was in the air everywhere he went
out there, and he forgot his playbook.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
He was drawing a blank. Their stammering and stumbling that
never has a good defense.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
But they're not as good as they looked there. That
was more of incompetence by the quarterback. And I am
a believer that you either have it or you don't.
You show a little something. And we've seen Rattler now.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
In two games.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
He did leave the game early here at the end,
but for the most part two games, and he has
had one decent stretch which was mostly a byproduct of
Tampa Bay making mistakes the second quarter. Other than that
that last week. Other than that, there's just nothing there, right,
I mean, he doesn't have it. I guess he does
have constipation. You're not that guy, pal, You're not that guy.

(06:16):
Things are so bad for the Saints, How bad are they?
They're so bad that the fan base is calling for
Jake Hayner, who no one even knows who that is,
to take over next week as the starting quarterback in
New Orleans. All Right, now, pitchew, where does this loss

(06:36):
leave the in battled Dennis Allen, the coach of the Saints.
So this is a throwback. It is a paper bag
worthy performance. And let's do some math of matthew im
do some subtraction, because if you take the s away
from Saints, what do you get? You get that's right,

(06:57):
the Aints, and it is a percent. It is a
funeral procession at this point, from two and oh to
zero and five, that is hard to do.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
It is hard to go from two and oh to
oh and five.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
New Orleans had a bit of adversity, and the entire
house of cards came tumbling down, down, down, down down.
Now you know it's bad when broadcaster and noted coach
suck up Kirk Herbstreet Herbie is wallowing in victimhood as he.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
Listed a laundry list at the end of this game
of excuses.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
Well, Denas Allen's not going to make any excuses, but
I will. Near the end of the Amazon broadcast, oh boohoo,
who's it's a Greek tragedy.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
It's it's it's it's ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
And then Allen apparently did end up making a boatload
of excuses.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
Let's go to the audio tape. Take a listen. I
think guys are trying. I think guys are working.

Speaker 3 (07:55):
You know, we're dealing with a lot of injuries right now,
and that that's that's not an excuse. I don't is
to misconstrue that as an excuse, but it is. It is,
it is part of it. I mean, it is an
issue for us, and I think all of us are
trying to fight through that.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
So he said the word butt, and if you listen
to this show, you know we talk a lot about butts,
and the word butt means whatever you just said before,
the word but is a lie. So again, with that
is the context, we're gonna play this again. Okay, I
want to play this again, but remember you got to
listen for the word but listen closely. And whatever Dennis

(08:32):
Allen said before the word butt was a lie. Let's
go and play it again.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
Here we go.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
I think guys are trying. I think guys are working.
You know, we're dealing with a lot of injuries right now,
and that that's it's not an excuse. I don't want
anybody to misconstrue that as an excuse.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
But it is, it is part of it.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
I mean, it is an issue for us, and I
think all of us are trying to fight through that.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
Oh my god, someone and I don't know who.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
I maybe it was our old Barbara from New Orleans
who used to send us those delicious cakes from Louisiana.
Someone pulled the thread on the Saints hoodie and the
whole thing has.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
Completely unraveled here.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
And it does seem like you're following the team branded
hearse as the Saints go marching into the abyss of
the NFL.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
And I might be wrong on this. What do I know?
I just do the Overnight show.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
But I've always believed that good coaches keep their team
competing when injuries pop up. Like I'll give me the
Rams are a team that has been ravaged by injuries,
and they're not a good team, but they fight right.
They got a little fight in them. They haven't given up.
That Saints team that I saw, and maybe my TV

(09:44):
was broken, gave up right, they absolutely I did not
see the Warriors spirit.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
I did not.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
They felt bad for themselves. Now we recommend Dennis Allen
update his resume, and I've got a great sponsor expresspros
dot com. Right, go on there if you're looking for
wor because you will be looking for and if the
Saints want to hire a new coach, I recommend expresspros
dot com.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
This is not not a well coached team. It is not.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
I mean, this is the same thing that Dennis Allen
had when he coached the Oakland Raiders. And Dennis Allen
is one of those guys if you're upset the Raiders
left Oakland. In many respects, Dennis Allen is involved in
that he did such a terrible job coaching the Raiders
that it did not encourage the political hacks to give.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
The money to the Raiders.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
And there was a scenario where the Raiders had good
teams every year and everyone fell in love with the Raiders,
and they won, and they were in the Super Bowl
ever so often, and then people would have given them
the money.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
They didn't do that.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
Dennis Allen sucked at his job, and now the Raiders
are in Vegas and he'll be out of his job
in New Orleans. Who could have seen this coming? All right,
final point, So let's look at the winning locker room.
What is the vibe? Because you know when you think vibe,
you think middle aged overnight talk shows. What is the
vibe for Sean Payton's Broncos. So for Sean Paye, let's
start with Sean because this is personal strutting down the catwalk.

(11:05):
You got a pop boy in one hand and catfish
in the other, and your backpacks filled with gumbo, and
you do a little piro at and take a bow. Right,
Revenge is a dish best served with a blowout.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
And Teytan at this point.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
And there's a long way to go, and this could
certainly go the other way. However, Teyton is like John
Hannibal Smith, the iconic character from the A Team, and
you look at him on the sidelines say I love
it when a plan comes together.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
He was the village idiot last year when he was.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
Coaching Russell mister unlimited Wilson, and now doesn't have a
better quarterback.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
But yet the team looks like it knows what they're doing.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
They have an actual identity the Broncos, right, they've got
a bulldog mentality. Now they beat a tomato can here.
So you don't want to get too excited about it,
because the Saints quit on Dennis Allen. But those are
still games you have to win. Those are must win
games because you're not going to beat most of the
good teams. You might win a couple of games against
teams you're not supposed to, but as long as you

(12:08):
beat the crap bag teams, you can make the playoffs.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
And I saw what appear to be a little bit
of grit here.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
The defense appears legit, and from a gambling standpoint, you
love that because that travels everywhere. That keeps you in games.
And the Broncos likely will be underdogs quite a bit
because of their incompetent offense. But the defense is good
enough where if you just beat the crap bag teams
you can be playoff worthy. There's a little bit of
toughness there, ground and pounds. So so far, so good, now,

(12:38):
bo Nicks, this was not a masterpiece. This was a
pot mark the performance there by bow Knicks. He's a
work in progress, a couple of absolute.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
Terrible throws.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
Right, He's at best undercooked and needs more seasoning, more spice.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
But so the Broncos. Here we are Broncos four and three,
and they win a game where I thought they were
gonna win. I did picket.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
We had that on the The Benny Versus the Penny
Nott that it made the show because the show starts

Speaker 1 (15:38):
New Orleans is terrible. In Atlanta and New Orleans, are they.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
Legit like heavyweight contenders? Probably not, but looks like they'll
both be in the playoffs. Is that a premature take
at this particular point. Maybe it is. Maybe it is
all right.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
We'll take some calls.

Speaker 2 (15:56):
Let's say hello to uh, this is John in Phoenix
to the Hello John.

Speaker 6 (16:02):
Hello, Hey, any boy, are you back?

Speaker 2 (16:05):
You called yesterday? John, you wanted to do the oath.
You couldn't make it through the oath? Is that correct?

Speaker 6 (16:11):
Yeah? I felt really bad about that, and uh, you
know why is because I have so much respect for
the show and I'm like an eight plus year listener
podcast downloader. I sent last night's Messed Up to my buddies.
They laughed, Uh yeah, at the end of this, I'd
love to be part of the malor militia. But like, yeah,

(16:32):
last night, third Rail a man, I messed up.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
Yeah, well you did it. It made for a fun moment.
It made for a fun moment. A lot of people
enjoyed that the podcast. They love it when the cursings
on the podcast.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
Now, if you want to do it again, we purpose No, I.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
Know it was an honest mistake. Would you like to
do it now? You want to do it right now?

Speaker 6 (16:54):
I would? But can I just say that, you know,
can I just say that baseball like is you know
what they I know, it's not like the top of
the mind's sport year round, but like, there's a lot
of folks out there who love baseball, raising kids, families
like I took my kid to Cooper Stay on the
Top Summer Philly, Boston Red Sox game and Yankee Stadium.

(17:20):
Like baseball is America's past time. You can't go wrong
by talking baseball.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
Yeah, I like baseball. It does not lead itself to
great sports talk.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
Most of the year.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
When the playoffs come around, it's better to talk baseball
if there's some controversy in baseball, but during a random
day in May or June and not not so much.

Speaker 1 (17:43):
But let's do this.

Speaker 2 (17:44):
I want you to be sworning, John, Are you ready
to be sworning?

Speaker 6 (17:50):
I've been wanting this for years, Bro, that's great.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
Dreams are about to come through here. Maybe I'll believe
it when I see it. There's some doubts. There's some
doubters here, John. They don't believe the You've.

Speaker 6 (18:04):
Got fourth line got me confused last night. I just
want to make sure he talks.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
Yeah, all right, all right, I'll talk to you like
you're in kindergarten.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
That's a great idea, Ben, Thank you like.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
You're five years old. This is something if you're new
to the show. We have the Mallard Militia, which are
the super fans of the show. They always have my back.
They defend my honor. They are a non violent group
of super fans of the show that will defend my
honor no matter what. All right, other gas bags attack me,
and these people defend me. And they're spreading the doctrine

(18:39):
of the Malard Militia, getting other people to download the
podcast and forcing their cousins and grandparents to watch Benny
Versus De Penny on Peacock and their kids kids and
so anyway, right, this is malad militia. So here we
have an oath because of a guy named Skeeter in Montana.
Skeeter said, I want to be part of it. I said,
you're you're part of me said no, I need to
take an oath. I said, oh, ok, we'll come up

(19:00):
with the old. And so we came up with the oth.
And now John is in Arizona, but he's from Seattle.
And right, you're from the Seattle area. Is that corrected?
I remember that.

Speaker 6 (19:07):
Yes, yep, I'm from north Yeah, Port Angeles, Washington. If
I can put a start out.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
I'm beautiful Port Angels, Washington. But you wanted to get
out of the rain, so you move to Arizona to
enjoy the sun.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
All right, here we go.

Speaker 2 (19:21):
Just repeat after me, I state your name John, But.

Speaker 1 (19:27):
It says say I state your name.

Speaker 6 (19:29):
I state my name is John.

Speaker 4 (19:33):

Speaker 1 (19:36):
Funny, I John, do you solemnly swear?

Speaker 2 (20:45):
Most of our battles are on the cyber world, the
cyber playground. Make sure you pick up your regulation buzz light,
your astro blaster from Justin and Cincinnati. And Ferg Dog

tough guy, but John's a wrecking ball. Do you understand
that he will absolutely destroy anyone that dares cross me?

Speaker 4 (21:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (21:54):
I'm not making that up, No, not at all. All
right is the Ben Malors Show. As we are rolling along,
we have some great audio also working overtime or not
working at all. Richard Sherman, who knows a thing or
two about teams quitting. Richard Sherman saying that the Saints defense,
he said, it seems like they want to get their
coach fired. That's the effort they're playing with.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
I totally agree.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
With Richard Sherman. And it's not just this game. It's
been the last month. If you've watched the Saints the
last month and they played some big games, that is
a team that has played like they don't give a damn.

Speaker 1 (22:34):
And I don't know.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
What's going on internally there. Yeah, they got backup guys
playing and all that. However, the results the last month
they have given up twenty six points to the Falcons
twenty six to the Chiefs, fifty one the Tampa Bay
and thirty three to the Broncos.

Speaker 1 (22:57):
They blow, they blow.

Speaker 2 (22:59):
Great audio. We've got it. We'll play it for you,
amazing audio. We'll take some more calls. Also, we have
Mallard of the third degree. But right now, let's get
you caught up on everything going.

Speaker 1 (23:07):

You got that. There's like I think there's a fast
food restaurant.

Speaker 7 (23:38):
In your MA.

Speaker 4 (23:38):
It's all about Eddie World. Everyone knows that Kenny's a.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
Little expensive there, ed you might want to lower the prices.

Speaker 4 (23:43):
Not at all. It's worth every penny.

Speaker 5 (23:45):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific college.

Speaker 4 (23:51):
Oops. I guess so you're getting going here in a
little while. Not that anybody is really into that necessarily,
but at least as far as when the season starts,
but well known coach calling it quits. Virginia men's head
coach Tony Bennett has resigned retired effective immediately led the
Cavaliers to the twenty nineteen NCAA Championship. That was the

(24:12):
year after he was a number one seed and lost
to a sixteen seed. But spent fifteen years as head
basketball coach at Virginia, won almost seventy three percent of
his games. And he's said I'm done. He's out.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
Yeah, And it's been a tough couple of years for
Tony Bennett. You know, one died and the other one quit. Well,
did he VvE his heart in San Francisco?

Speaker 1 (24:32):
Is that why he's leaving?

Speaker 4 (24:33):
I was the other guy? I think?

Speaker 1 (24:34):
Oh, is that the other guy?

Speaker 4 (24:35):
He's leaving his heart in? What Charlottesville?

Speaker 2 (24:38):
Is Tony Bennett doing like the Autumn Waltz or something
like that?

Speaker 1 (24:41):
Is that?

Speaker 4 (24:41):
No, I'm not sure what that is.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
That's another Tony Bennett song. Thought, Oh, I only know one,
You only know one, Tony Bennett song. Yeah, the man
worked in music for like eighty years.

Speaker 4 (24:53):
I'm were but he had one hit.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
No, he had more than one hit.

Speaker 4 (24:57):
What was the name of the song?

Speaker 1 (24:58):
Again, you were not paying attention. I just said that
it was the Autumn Waltz.

Speaker 4 (25:04):
I never heard of it.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
The Autumn Waltz sounds lovely. Yeah, obviously about the Autumn
Waltz is a raider.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
Yeah, it's you guys disrespecting the great Tony Bennett out there.

Speaker 8 (25:18):
You know the San Francisco song, that's that so one?

Speaker 4 (25:21):
I know, yeah, everybody knows that one. The other one
not so much.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
It was a little bit of it.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
That's I Love my Heart in San Francisco. It's like,
if I remember, it's a slow start to it, right,
it's not. It doesn't really kick in like Sinatra's New
York New York. It's got a little razmataz to it,
like I Left my Heart in San Francisco. Kind of
lags a little bit, doesn't it at the beginning.

Speaker 4 (25:39):
Have you ever heard the La song that Sinatra did?

Speaker 2 (25:43):
No, but you know what the La song he used
to play at the Kings and the Lakers games.

Speaker 4 (25:47):
Back in the Yeah, of course, of course, I love LA.
But at the end of the at the end of
the Kings Games, it's like the last song they play,
kind of like Everybody Leave is a Sinatra LA song,
and it's definitely not New York. New York La is
My Lady is the name of it. It's not.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
I think I have heard that it's not my Lady.

Speaker 4 (26:07):
But he thought, you know what, I had this big
hit with the New York song. Let's go for an
l A song. Let's give it a shot.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
Yeah, if I was advising, like in the music business,
you do, uh songs about cities and holidays?

Speaker 4 (26:20):
Yeah, absolutely, yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
I mean every every holiday season the company Man Days,
we play holiday music all of December, so the same
songs get played every year. And there's there's like a
bunch of Christmas songs, but uh, those get played. There's
only a few Honica songs like Adam Sandler that gets played.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
You know, his songs get played a ton, and so yeah,
just do that.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
Boom, you're guarante you're guaranteed to get a lot of
downloads and people playing your music and whatnot.

Speaker 1 (26:43):
It is a Bane Malors show.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
We got great audio from a member of the Fox
Sports Radio Alumni Association.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
Now I don't want I don't.

Speaker 4 (26:52):
Want to over show me I might know this person.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
Yeah, well you probably do know those working a person
because we both worked with him.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
I did a few shows with him, and you were
here when he worked here.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
You remember Jim Mora, the old coach of the New Course. Yes,
one of the nicest people I ever met.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
What a great guy. I will never forget.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
Very tragic the situation the Hurricane Katrina when it came
through New Orleans and I was doing shows with Jim
Moore and we had the news on and they were
showing just the entire portions of New Orleans underwater, and
Jim would he was telling me, He's like, oh, yeah,
I used to go to that.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
There was a restaurant over there.

Speaker 2 (27:25):
I used to go to, and or there was a
place that he knew the whole area. So he lived
there for years when he coached the Saints back in
the in the eighties and the nineties. So anyway, Jim Mora,
who worked here at Fox Sports Radio for years and
hasn't been here a long time, but he is still
a commentator on the New Orleans Saints local TV station

(27:45):
in the Bayou and he got a little offended by
the TV people in New Orleans who said that the
team sucks. I forget exactly what they said, but let's
just play the audit. Here is Jim and listen to him,
the old ball coach Jim Moore from back in the
day who coaching the USFL at one point, damn right,

(28:08):
and listen to him unload on his position on a
terrible Saints team.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
Take a listen for the season.

Speaker 5 (28:14):
It is not over all right.

Speaker 6 (28:16):
If this is the kind of safte team that I'm
used to, the coaching.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
Staff that I'm used to, it's not over all.

Speaker 5 (28:22):
Right, That's what I got to say.

Speaker 8 (28:23):
All right.

Speaker 1 (28:24):
Let me let me, let me rephrase that.

Speaker 5 (28:26):
And I'm being critical.

Speaker 8 (28:27):
I'm being critical for you two can sit up there
and say the Saints season is over.

Speaker 6 (28:33):
It's not over. It's not over for the players.

Speaker 1 (28:36):
It's not over for.

Speaker 5 (28:37):
The coaches or anybody.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
Else connected to that football team.

Speaker 1 (28:41):
So excuse me, but that's the case. You're right, Let
me say it.

Speaker 4 (28:45):
All right, Well, he's right. In that day, we'll have
to continue to play games.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
Yeah, and coach, I just want to point out he's
eighty nine years old.

Speaker 4 (28:54):
Yeah, still got the fire.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
I love it. I love it eighty nine years old.
That was a courtesy of w D s U.

Speaker 2 (29:02):
I believe Channel six in New Orleans their postgame show,
the NBC affiliate.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
But just wonderful. Just Jim Mora, amazing, amazing, Love the man,
Love the man.

Speaker 7 (29:15):
And can I tell you my Jim Morris story when
you work here? If you want, we all have Jim Morris,
but go ahead, No, I just say when I first
started working here, I wasn't making any money, and we
you know, I didn't have the access to direct TV
as far as paying for it. So we I would
come into work and watch all the NFL games because
we had all the football games are and we used
to have that you know area upstairs where he had
offices and stuff, and there was you could go in

(29:37):
there and watch.

Speaker 4 (29:37):
There was a big TV, the bullpen. So buddy, a
high school buddy and mine, came to visit me, and
I'm like, let's go to work and watch the football games.
And we go up there and Jim Morris sitting there
watching the games before his shift. And we sat there
and watched NFL games with a former NFL coach and
he was telling us all kinds of stuff. It was
the coolest thing ever.

Speaker 1 (29:52):
Oh yeah, Jim was all.

Speaker 2 (29:53):
He would tell stories about like what guys would do
on the plane as that when he was coaching, and
like how he had to deal with people would get
on plans and bring things they shouldn't bring on planes
back before you know, before nine to eleven when they
checked all that stuff. But he was just awesome. I mean,
and the greatest rant is not the playoff rant. The
greatest rant by Jim Mora, you know it is. It

(30:13):
was the Yeah, I mean, that's much better than the
playoff rant. And it's really not even close. And he
got commercials out of it. And Jim lives out in
Palm Springs. I had him on my podcast I think
last was it last year or two years ago. I
had him on the podcast.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
And he was nice. He said say hi to everybody
over there. It was very nice.

Speaker 4 (30:31):
Season.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
He was wondering why I was bothering him. It was funny.

Speaker 4 (30:36):
Anyway.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
It is the Ben Mallord Show.

Speaker 2 (30:39):
As we roll along, we got Mallard of the third
degree warming up in the bullpen. Here's the Insta trivia.
There have been almost two thousand running backs. With fifty
or more rushing attempts through week six going back to
nineteen seventy, but only two have led all running backs
in rushing attempts, rushed yards, rushing touchdowns, and yards per rush.

(31:03):
They are Derrick Henry this year in Baltimore with the Ravens,
and Blank. That is the Insta Trivia the answer next.

That would be so cool. Ben, Yeah, good old we

Dick Van Dyke dance right now.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
They had the what was the Dad from Family Matters
is on this season? I know a time now for
the instead trivia.

There have been one hundred, two thousand, almost nine and
fifteen times a running back has said fifty or more
rushing attempts through week six goes back to nineteen seventy.
Only two of them have led the all running backs
in rushing attempts, rushing yards, rushing touchdowns, and yards for rush.
They are Derrick Henry with the Ravens this year and

his answer? The Shredder from Cowboy Killer. That's his answer.
Who else do we have? Alexa Bliss?

Speaker 1 (33:26):
Is it just Josh?

Speaker 2 (33:27):
I remember when just Josh was a regular show contributed.
That's from Shane in de Moyes, Zach Efron, who is
thirty seven today? From The Late Night Drug Tester? Who
else do we have?

Speaker 1 (33:37):

Speaker 2 (33:38):

Speaker 1 (33:43):

I'll try to get him next week. I'll see if
he's available. I'll put him on next week.

Speaker 1 (33:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (33:53):
I didn't realize it had been that long. Malibu Rubin
going with Freeman McNeil. I thought it was like a
year or two ago years? Wowait, what was four years?
I interviewed Jim Moore on my podcast. I thought it
was last year, but it was four years ago.

Speaker 1 (34:07):
Time be Flying Baby Man.

Speaker 2 (34:10):
Freeman McNeil from Malibu, Ruben polk Kai legend Al Bundy
guest by Tom from Fullerton, John Riggins guest by Ike
and roseuild Minnesota. Whoopee Pie Blair from our friend Spaccoli,
who wants blind? Scott banned from the show? Andy Gump
from Stuck in Sacramento, Jan Stenerude from JT the Wingman?

Speaker 1 (34:34):
Will JT make the next Mala Meat great? Stay tuned, Eddie?
Do you have an answer?

Speaker 4 (34:39):
Yes, it's former Cleveland Brown's legendary running back Peyton.

Speaker 1 (34:42):
Hillis no, I'll give you a clue.

Speaker 4 (34:46):
It is.

Speaker 1 (34:46):
See if you can get the name.

Speaker 2 (34:48):
It's Kooper Loop's all time greatest running back in his childhood.

Speaker 1 (34:51):
Oh, Terrell Davis, there you go nineteen ninety eight. Terrell
Davis is the old.

Speaker 4 (34:56):
Here we go, Here we go, about to.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
The third degree. This is one big event gets.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
Grilled and now a man that is beaming because his
Broncos look like they actually have a season.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
The Kouval Well.

Speaker 8 (35:15):
The NFL trade deadline is still nearly three weeks away,
but we've already seen a couple of big names get moved. Ben,
who do you think is the biggest name left that
we see change laundry.

Speaker 2 (35:24):
So I'm going with Max Crosby the Raiders. He doesn't
want to be part of a rebuild. The Raiders are
going to be in a rebuild, so I've got that.

Speaker 1 (35:31):
I also, depending on what happens.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
With the Rams the next couple of weeks, I would
say Matthew Stafford is also a possibility. And there are
others that teams would love to trade that they can't trade,
like Trevor Lawrence, Deshaun Watson, people like that. But of
the players that could be traded and likely will be traded,
I've got Max Crosby, and you've also got Matthew Stafford

(35:54):
and pretty much anybody on the Rams right now because
they're in a dark spot.

Speaker 8 (35:57):
Next TMZ caught up with Roberts at the grocery store
and when asked if people will see him on the
sidelines again soon, he said, God willing Ben, Do you
think Sala will get another shot at head coach?

Speaker 1 (36:08):
No, but he will be a defensive coordinator.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
I could see him going back to the Niners if
things don't turn around in San Francisco next year.

Speaker 1 (36:14):
And be part of that.

Speaker 2 (36:15):
And he did say he's living the dream and he
is because he's still getting paid not to work and
he's at Whole Foods. Who gets fired and shops at
Whole Foods? You can't afford it. But Robert Salah was
right there at Whole Foods because the Jets are still
paying his full salary and they'll get a defensive coordinator
job next year.

Speaker 1 (36:32):
But head coach, yeah, I don't see that next.

Speaker 8 (36:36):
So it was recently reported that Jerry Reinsdorf is quote
open to selling the White Sox. Ben, do you think
this could actually happen or is this an Arti Marino
type situation?

Speaker 2 (36:46):
Well, Arty Marino's old, but Jerry Reinsdorf is like knocking
on the pearly gates. So it's a different it's a
different situation, it's different dynamic. And Jerry Reinsdorff is trying
to shake down politicians in Chicago. They want another ballpark
and they want all these person of So if the
politicians in Chicago give him what he wants to probably
take the team off the market.

Speaker 1 (37:06):
But it does make sense to sell the team.

Speaker 2 (37:09):
He's had it long enough, he's got he can't take
it with you in the grave, So sell the team.
Let somebody else have the team, but make sure it
stays in Chicago.

Speaker 1 (37:15):
It's ridiculous to move the White Sox out of Chicago.
That would be terrible. But there it is Mallard to
the third degree. How did we know?

Speaker 4 (37:25):
Then you pass this edition.

Speaker 1 (37:26):
That is a win.

Speaker 2 (37:28):
Put it on the bar, the socturls that will say
I won the RAINA, I won, I'm a winner.
