Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number four. We head to Chicago,
where the pizza's good and the football's bad. How much
is Caleb Williams the number one overall pick to blame
for the Bears offensive woes? Also, Kevin O'Connell gave a
vote of confidence for Sam Darnold as Viking QB one.

(00:23):
Is this reality based? Also, coach Brian Dable non committal
on Daniel Jones as his QB one for the Giants?
How do you decode this? Is there any decoding needed?
We'll talk about that and a whole lot more right
now here it is say hello to my little friend.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
It's our number four. And here it is. So what
what do Bears do in the winter time?

Speaker 1 (00:50):
That's right, they hibernate. What are Chicago Bears do? They
hibernate at least the quarterback does.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Welcome.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
In the beginning of another hour of the Benmalor Show,
we are in the air everyway, working together. Let me
tell you something. We are like chips and salsa right now.
We're without the salsa, but we're still chips. We are
hanging out coast to coast, border to border and beyond

(01:21):
on the vast in abundantly powerful microphones of FSR emmating
live from the waters as we do a deep dive
in those dirty waters. We're broadcasting live from tyrac dot
com studios tyrect dot com. We'll help you get there
in unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free road hazard protection,

(01:45):
and over ten thousand recommended installers. Tyract dot com the
way tire buying. Show me in our lead this hour
from sweet Home Chicago. Great pizza, great food, good people,
bad football. That's Chicago, my entire life. When I was
a little kid, the Bears won a Super Bowl and

(02:06):
ever since then, hot pooh, that's the Bears not winning
the Pooh, hot poo. So our lead is in Chicago,
Caleb Williams, The downfall in front of her eyes continues.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
Now. The normal career arc for.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
A young quarterback is you struggle early on, and then
you get better as the season goes on. You progress,
You learn from your mistakes. You don't repeat the same
mistake twice. That's what good players do. I saw on Sunday,
I was in Kansas City. I saw bow Knicks. I
was very impressed. I thought, well, he looks pretty good. Now,
the Broncos didn't win the game because of divine intervention

(02:44):
by Kansas City. But bow Knicks played much better than
I thought he would after having some issues the previous
week against the Baltimore Ravens. I bring that up because
Caleb Williams and Chicago lost their third game.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
In a row.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
But this is not just your normal loss. They played
the patsis now New England. You said, well, I thought
the game would be close. I thought it would come
down to a late field goal when the Bears would
win it. It wasn't close. I handicapped the game a
little bit for the TV show The Patios won going
away nineteen to three was the final. And when you

(03:22):
JUDGTA posed the way that Caleb Williams played and Drake
May played, You're like, holy crap. Should Drake May have
been drafted aad of Caleb Williams?

Speaker 2 (03:33):
What's up with that?

Speaker 1 (03:34):
So I assume you know what this means. I would
think you do by now you pay attention. You're listening
to a sports talk radio show early in the morning.
I would assume you know. But everyone is playing the
game of games. It is Chicago Bear No, not Prices right,
not Jeopardy. It is the blame game. The Chicago Bears

(03:57):
blame game. Why did Caleb Williams complete just sixteen of
thirty passes for one hundred and twenty yards and of
course no touchdowns in the loss to New England.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Who's to blame?

Speaker 1 (04:10):
So let us discuss the question for the esteem panel
of judges, which you were part of. How much is
Caleb Williams to blame for the Bears offensive woes. So
I've got Goblin, post Malone and Geneva convention, three things

(04:32):
that have never been added together, and I'll put the
jigsaw puzzle pieces together and we'll make it all work.
So to kick off here, the buck stops with Caleb Williams,
and I don't want to hear it's Matt eber Flues.
It's the offensive coordinator. And I'm not, by any means

(04:52):
saying those guys know what they're doing. I'm not saying
that at all. But ultimately it's the player. He's out
there right. He wasn't taught how to play quarterback like this.
I believe, and this is gonna shock you. Accountability. I
believe in accountability. Do your job, As some old coach
of the Patriots used to say back in the day,
do your job.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
But if you are the number one.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Over very top of the draft, that means you are
supposed to be plug and play?

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Is that wrong? Does anyone think that's wrong?

Speaker 1 (05:25):
If you're drafted the very top of the NFL draft
of all the quarterbacks all over college football, you're drafted
number one overall, you are.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
A number one.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
You're a plug and play guy. Just add water your set,
that's it. Just add water your said. Well, the Bears
added water to Caleb Williams and he's melted, which is
very odd. He's gone into goblin mode as the season
has progressed.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
He's a goblin.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
He's been draggled, not just by good teams, by bad
team Arizona Cardinals, bad team right even the Washington game,
which the Bears lost on the Hail Mary. It's not
like Caleb Williams had a great game. He didn't, and
yet the Bears lost on the heartbreak hotel Hail Mary
to the Washington football team. The thing that I have
noticed from Afar is something that happens in other sports,

(06:14):
not so much in football. But it appears that Caleb
Williams has a version of the yips. Not yip buty yip,
but the yips.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
Let me spine, so er go. It is not physical.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
It is not a case where Caleb Williams's body is
falling apart and he can't play because of some kind
of ailment. It is mental. It's in the brain. It's
not in his fingernails that are painted nice colors. It's
not that this is something else. Now, what is my evidence?
Cale Williams was sacked? This blows me away. Was sacked
not once, not twice, not three times, not four, five,

(06:49):
not six, not seven, not eight? How about nine nine
times by the vanilla Patriot defense.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
Oh the Pats are go. They're on a row winning streak.

Speaker 3 (07:00):
Listen.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
New England coming into the game had sixteen total sacks.
Entering the game, they had nine nine nine. I'm yelling
nine in one game.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Nine.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
And as I've said from the very beginning, as a
defender of the fat Man, I know you're listening. I
know I know as a defender of the fat Man,
the sack is a quarterback stat, not the other offensive
line play, the offense a line.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
Oh you're so stupid.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
When I hear somebody say that, and I sitting there
at the Chiefs game on Sunday, and I heard some
fans in front of me and to my right and
they're like, Mahomes is getting killed. It's all the offense. Well, actually,
Mahomes didn't you know, he made some mistakes. He should
have gotten rid of the ball quicker several times and
got sacked in that game. But this is about the
Bears and the sack and kevib Williams. Most sacks, not all,

(07:58):
are on the quarterback, not the off line, which means
that the very basics, you have to feel pressure. You
have to have this sense to tell the aura of
defensive players are around you. You have to recognize when
to get rid of the ball, how much time you have.
You have to have the mental clarity to know what

(08:20):
is going on and the decisiveness to make the right
decisions when you need to make them. If you hold
the ball for too long, you will end up being
sacked nine times, nine effing times. But the quarterback defenders
club will So it's all the offensive line's fault.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
None of those are on killable way. No, he's been draggled.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
He's messed up, all right. Furthermore, it's being a messed up.
Well you knew this was coming, right, I mean there's.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
A humdingger, but you knew it was coming.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
Minnesota, we go the man Sada Vikings are seven and two,
seven and two Minnesota, and the sky is on fire,
raining down fire. They pulled out an ugly win over
the Jacksonville football team who was two and eight, and
they win twelve seven. Twelve seven was about Sam Donald,

(09:12):
remember him? Sam Donald had the worst performance of the year.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
In a Minnesota Viking uniform.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
But Minnesota they still won the game because Mac Jones
was the King of Suck Bowl, so different game than
the Rose Bowl Suck Bowl, so he was. But after
the humiliation, the Minnesota Vikings said coach Kevin O'Connell, he
got in front of the team and he addressed the

(09:40):
team and he gave a vote of conference endorsed his quarterback.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
He did in the media.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
Confidence here, there, and everywhere for Sam Donald. As the Vikings.
QB one is that based in reality? Is there any
reality in that? So it is not based in reality.
It is necess city based as O'Connell is humming bars
from an old Post Malone tune. There no option, meaning

(10:09):
that's kind of obvious. There are no other real options.
You've got to ride or die. The Sam Slide.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
Down down, down, down, down down down the Sam Slide.
Everyone's doing.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
All the kids at the playground are taking the Sam
Slide and they're going down. Yeah they are. But he
is who we thought he would be. It took a while,
but Donald had been on the wagon. He has now
fallen off the wagon. He has hey relapsed. Sam Donald
has relapsed into Garbagetown, USA. Yeah, later than expected.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
I didn't did. I didn't expect.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
Maybe you expected it to happen now. I thought it
would happen sooner. It's not surprising. And there's this thing
called patternicity. Is the term patternicity. Sam Donald's pattern as
a starting quarterback for the Jets and the Panthers. He
didn't start for the forty nights, so the Jets and

(11:02):
the Panthers has been I have a game or two
where he looks pretty good, game or two where he's
doing pretty well, performs well, and just when you think,
wait a minute, here, this guy's gone like a month, he's.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
Played good ball. Get all horny, you're like, I'm turned on.
I can deal with this. I like this. This guy's
arrived and he's got to the right team.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
He's got good players around him and good coaching, and
now he's figured it all out. You see a little light,
a little spark, and then you realize it is a
high speed locomotive, that a steam engine locomotive.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
Coming round the mountain.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
When she comes out, Yeah, coming right around the mountain,
and you are tied to the tracks, all right. Last thing,
we head now to Jersey, which is still called New
Jersey even though it's old anyway. That is where the coach,
Brian Dable, who will be an offensive coordinator somewhere next year,
was non committal, non committal on Daniel Jones as to

(12:05):
be King of the Hill as the starting QB there
for the Giants. This after the loss across the pond
as some like to say, we call it the Atlantic Ocean.
How do you decode this? The fact that Brian Dable
was noncommittal, So this is not foggy, it's not cloudy,
it's not overcast. Brian Dabele has consistently consistently shielded Danny Dimes.

(12:34):
It is fair to say the loss of the Panthers
in Germany was a violation of the football version of
the Geneva Convention. That was absolute torture app salute torture
early in the morning on Sunday for the Giant fan.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
If there's any Giant fans left.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
You got shut out in the first half by the
Carolina Panthers.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
You gotta be Joe. We played better than second half.
Food about the.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
Second Okay, well they lost the game, all right, And
Daniel Jones should have been benched long long ago.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
You know it and I know it now.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
He's a dog with fleas, and the good news is
they have other dogs in the kennel. They've got the
Drew Lock dog, They've got the Tommy de Veto Tommy
Cutlass Dog's.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
That's an option. Those are the options.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
It's not exactly strawberry and cream pancakes if you have
those guys. However, all right, to continue to play Vanilla
Vick out there. To put him out there is a
pointless exercise. Enough is enough should have happened long ago.
Brian Dable at this point's deciding, do I want to
go to the Patriots and coach Drake May Do I
want to be the offensive coordinator for Chicago? Do I

(13:45):
want to coach up Caleb Williams? Where do I want
to go? And Daniel Jones is like, where am I
gonna go? Maybe the Rams will get rid of Matthew
Stafford they lost to the Dolphins. I can go play
for Sean McVay. I could be a salvage job. Sean
McVay loves salvage quarterbacks. Maybe I'll go play there. If
not there, where where else where can I go? How
about Carolina?

Speaker 2 (14:03):
Why not?

Speaker 4 (14:04):
So?

Speaker 1 (14:04):
These guys will be in all different parts from Tim
buck to to Walla Walla, Washington and everywhere in between.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
It is the Ben Malor Show.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
If you want to be part you can join us
right now at eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox
eight seven seven nine nine six six three six nine.
I realized that this show is on all night long
and you listen. When you listen, the show is here
for you when you want to hear it. We had
a big, big announcement that we did not want to make.
I was hoping this would not happen.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
And it did.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
We we have lost one of our team. It's not
to death or anything like that. It's just, you know,
this is the time of the year a lot of
companies downsize, unfortunately, and one of the guys that at
our company, Fox Sports Radios won by iHeart, and they
made a move, and I do thank them for allowing
me to share this with you, because it's very awkward.
I've worked in radio a long time. I have unfortunately

(14:53):
had many of my co workers meet their demise. I
have met my demise, and usually you just have to
pretend like they didn't exist, which I think is the
most insensitive, cruel thing you could possibly do. And so
fortunately the company, realizing Eddie had been here for over
twenty years, I've grown up my entire adult life. I've
dealt with Eddie, He's dealt with me. We've been hemorrhoids

(15:16):
to each other. But Eddie's not working here anymore. So
we love Eddie. He's still gonna do his podcast. I
hope it blows up. I want to see him beat
Joe Rogan and those other podcasts. I don't think that's possible,
but I'd like to see it anyway. I want to
see a lot of success for Eddie in the podcast. Gman,
He's gonna do some other stuff, I'm sure down the line.
But you can follow Eddie on his social media channels.
Also send him an email Eddie on Fox at gmail

(15:38):
dot com. But we talked about Eddie quite a bit
throughout the overnight. I'm sure we'll talk more about him,
but you can hear that in the opening hour of
the podcast, which will be up a.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
Little bit later.

about it, because who wants to know how they make
the hot dogs? Nobody wants to know how they make
the hot dogs. But we'll get you behind the scenes,
a little inside radio stuff. What happens, how this stuff

All right? I know how you doing? Serious Sean? What
can we do for you?

Speaker 3 (18:50):
Man? Oh?

Speaker 7 (18:51):
I just wanted to say. I felt so devastated hearing
that news. I've known Eddie for like eleven twelve years now,
and I can't believe they would do something like that
to him. And I had a conversation with him a
little bit ago today and he told me, and I
was pretty upset. I was great a cry when I
heard that.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
No, I hear you, buddy. Uh.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
We love Eddie and he'll still be working. You'll still
be able to hear him and stuff. He's not gonna

stuff and WHATNOTU Sean.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
And you're still invited.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
I know you don't like us as much as Eddie,
but you're still invited to come hang out with us.

And you've been listening to this show for a long time.
We still love you. I know we're not as cool
as Eddie, but you can still hang out with us.

Speaker 6 (19:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (19:34):
I was talking to Coop a little bit ago. He said,
I asked him about it, and you said it was fine.

Speaker 2 (19:39):
Yeah, Cooper, Coop, Actually I hate you, you know, but
I like it. Yeah, I like you.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
I like you, all right, buddy. Well hang in there, Sean.
And you know you're still friends with Eddie and stuff.
You have a great relationship. You talk with him off
the radio. You're pretty lucky.

Speaker 7 (19:52):
So yeah, I was talking to him on that railroad
ride I was on, and me and him we're going
to we play on going to a hockey game and
a baseball game this next year.

Speaker 2 (20:01):
So all right, there you go. You can go on
the train with you. You can take Eddie on the train.

Speaker 3 (20:08):
Oh.

Speaker 7 (20:08):
I've already asked him about that. He said that's not
for him.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
That's no pro no, no part of the train. I
got you, all right, Well we're thinking of you. Sean
hanging there, buddy. It'll be all right. We'll help you out,
all right, you come you see us when you want.

Speaker 3 (20:20):
All right, all right, I will.

Speaker 7 (20:24):
I I gave Coop the date already. I don't know
if I want to know. You want to know, right well.

Speaker 1 (20:30):
I don't need to know on the air. That's a private,
off the air conversation. That's probably not on the air.
Nobody needs to know about that. But Coople let me know. Okay,
we'll get some dates and we'll figure it.

Speaker 7 (20:37):
Out, all right, yes, yeah, okay, yeah, that that'll work.
I just didn't want to tell you on Twitter because
I know you don't reply to everybody's message.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
Because normally I do not get a lot of people
are upset with me. They think I made this decision.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
I did not.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
But I'm honored that they think I run the company.
I'm flattered by that, thank you very much.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
I may may.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
I someday run the company. Uh So anyway, right, I
gotta go, Sean. Now let's say hello to Oh we
got Eddie in Charlotte. My guy, thumbs up, thumbs down, Eddie,
this is the other Eddie.

Speaker 8 (21:08):
Hello Eddie, Hello Ben, how y'all coming along.

Speaker 1 (21:12):
We're hanging in there. Considering the situation, Sean. As you
know Eddie, you've been through this in your day back.

Speaker 8 (21:18):
Well, i'd like to say that I wish mister Eddie
Goosie all the best and they help and success. He's
one of the good ones and I'm gonna miss him too.

Speaker 1 (21:28):
Absolutely, he's not dead. If you're just turning on the radio,
Eddie's very much alive. He's sleeping right now, but unfortunately
not working with us anymore. So I just want to
it's it's not his funeral. He will work many more
years if he wants. As long as he wants, he'll
find work.

Speaker 8 (21:43):
And if for clarity, I would like you to know,
I don't know if you remember, but I am a
fifty year fan of the New York football giant.

Speaker 1 (21:52):
Mike ndolences to you have it, But you didn't have
a good run for a while where every like ten
years you would win a Super Bowl, well even the eighties, nineties,
the two thousands, so you know your come up it's
is taking place right now. But you had for your
you know, your younger days, Eddie. You you saw some
tremendous moments there. But yeah, now now you're living the

(22:14):
life of a jetsman.

Speaker 8 (22:16):
Oh my goodness.

Speaker 9 (22:19):
Okay, I got one good one for you. Here, thumbs up,
thumbing all right?

Speaker 2 (22:22):
Are you ready our crew? Are you ready for thumbs up?
Thumbs down? Lorena, thumbs up, thumbs down? Are you prepared
for this?

Speaker 9 (22:27):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (22:29):
Prepared that I have two giant thumbs all right, Here we.

Speaker 9 (22:32):
Go, Here we go.

Speaker 8 (22:34):
Okay, Now, what does Eli Manning and Kobe Bryant have
in common?

Speaker 9 (22:38):
Wait for it, wait for it. They both refused to.

Speaker 8 (22:41):
You know, participate in the draft the right way. So
with that in mine, and now, since a lot of
these guys with the N I l is going to
have money in their pockets, are we gonna see more
of this refusing?

Speaker 9 (22:54):
Go to the garbage team and is it? Okay? Thumbs
up the thumbs down?

Speaker 2 (22:57):
All right? So I'm gonna go thumbs down. And here's why, becase, because.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
I think only a certain athlete is good enough where
that works right, you know what I mean it to
get away with it, and Eli Elijah's not like going.
He was able to get away with it because Arch
Manning and the Manning family had connections in the NFL.
Uh Kobe was a little different because people weren't completely
sure he was gonna be as good as he was,

(23:22):
and that was part of it. Otherwise he would have
been drafted, you know, the very number one pick in
the draft and all that, so they weren't convinced. But
those are unique situations and like chamb Williams could have
done some of that.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
He's not very good right now for the Bears.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
But I'm gonna go thumbs down because you're talking about
one percent, that one percent of the one percent coop
thumbs up, thumb there.

Speaker 2 (23:44):
Yeah, I think I have to agree with you.

Speaker 10 (23:45):
Thumbs down. I think it's I don't think that's gonna
have veneffense. It's gonna it's gonna be the same as
it's always been. You're gonna have that random you know,
once in a while guy that.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
That does that.

Speaker 1 (23:53):
Yeah, Loraine, I know your big NFL draft Nick, and.

Speaker 5 (23:57):
Surely disagree with you both I'm gonna go thumbs up.
I think everyone going to get really entitled these days
and assume that they also need to be paid the
big bucks, whether they're going to be on the big
team or the G League.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
Well, they want to just about like location, location, location, locations.
All right, look at that hot sports take by the
raina unbelievabr what's next the thumbs up thumbs down Eddie?
We're playing thumbs up thumbs down Eddie. This is a
fifty year Giant fan. Eddie's his name.

Speaker 8 (24:22):
I'm having trouble with these running backs and receivers when
they get to the keen yard line.

Speaker 9 (24:28):
They want to do the Superman thing in the end zone.

Speaker 8 (24:31):
And do we need to change that rule that the
ball goes out of bounds and the other team gets
it because these guys want to be Superman?

Speaker 1 (24:40):
Do we need to change? Yes, we It's the stupidest
rule in the world.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
It's dumb.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
Now, I'm all for not giving the other team the
ball but penalizing them by let's say, put the ball
back at the twenty or twenty five yard line. The
team that fumbles it out of the end zone, so
you punish them and you push the ball back. I
think it's the dumbest thing. And I know guys are
doing it because they think it's cool you get cloud
on social media. I understand why you're doing it, But

(25:05):
they did it before social media.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
They were idiots. As you know, you've been around the block, Eddie.

Speaker 1 (25:09):
There were guys before they could get cloud on Instagram
didn't even exist, and guys were doing this.

Speaker 2 (25:14):
So but I think it's been dumb.

Speaker 1 (25:15):
So I'm going, uh, they should get they should get
rid of that. What about you, Coop thumbs up? Thumbs there,
I'm gonna have to agree with you again. Oh thank god,
see Coop's now sucking up to me. That's absolutely not true. Finally,
but I will say, and this isn't exactly what you asked.
I do think there needs to be a new rule
implemented where if a player starts showboating and drops the

(25:38):
ball before they reach the end zone, that should be
immediate like wa wave from the team. They shouldn't even
go back to the locker room. You should just immediately
get kicked off the team if you do that.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
All right, that's a hot tay. What about you Rain?

Speaker 5 (25:52):
Yeah, same, get him out of there. There it's your job, bro.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
Coop Bolso told me off the air, Eddie.

Speaker 1 (25:59):
He said, if a team loses because they can't block
a chip shot field goal, everyone should lose their job.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
That's what he told me.

Speaker 10 (26:04):
So that's uh or that that one we asked, No,
there's there's a player on the Broncos. This guy was
getting like trucked every single kickoff or.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
Yes, like throughout the whole season.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
Shouldn't somebody have noticed that on the coaching staff, Rocos
you think you're doing on there Coop smoking weed watching
the game and he noticed it.

Speaker 2 (26:30):
You think maybe the coach would know anyway, Alex Forsyth,
you name the team.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
Coop, name names, Coop name names, Eddie he named names
Eddie thumbs up something down Eddie he named named Is
that Eddie got one more?

Speaker 2 (26:43):
Is that it? That's all we got on.

Speaker 9 (26:46):
I appreciate and you guys are a bit.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
No, we're better than that because the best music gives
all the us who were better than the Hey call
any time, Eddie. We love to give more often now
we get you know we got more, all right, But
there's our our friend fast Eddie. It is the Ben
Malers show. That's sot weed man, hippie quickly, no, no,
I let weed man, let it breathe.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
He's in Miami.

Speaker 6 (27:06):
I can't believe. I can't believe. And he's gone.

Speaker 9 (27:08):
That's crazy.

Speaker 6 (27:09):
I can't believe. I can't believe your station would do
that to anybody, right, what like right off the badge
just to sang you're fired, don't come in anymore. That's
not right.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
Well, that's normally how it works, weed man.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
In the working world, when they get rid of someone
you're not, they don't when you know, bring you back
and all that.

Speaker 2 (27:25):
You know, it's usually Yeah.

Speaker 1 (27:27):
By the way, Eddie text me he would like to
move in with you. Can he move in with you?

Speaker 6 (27:34):
That's for joke.

Speaker 9 (27:37):
I'm kidding.

Speaker 1 (27:39):
Obviously, lame jokes are on Friday, by the way, and
I cannot wait. I'm guessing that we will only read
two percent of this week's lame jokes on the air.

Speaker 6 (27:47):
But people send in jokes. Yes, okay, but before that
they were really we.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
Need a lot of joke, and we definitely need to
laugh this week because we're all bummed out, so we
need to laugh.

Speaker 2 (27:59):
Right, we need to laugh. This is this is our
friend there, it's not working anymore.

Speaker 1 (28:04):
So we need jokes and send that to Ben Maller
Benmallers Show at gmail dot com. Ben Mallor Show at
gmail dot com.

Speaker 6 (28:11):
Right, yes, you are a Rams fan, so I mean, god,
how did you deal with the Dolphins?

Speaker 1 (28:24):
I didn't play well the Dolphins. I didn't think the
Dolphins played that well, but the Rams were worse. They
the Dolphins only had two hundred and thirty eight yards
of offense and toa turned the ball over.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
They turned the ball over the Dolphins a couple of times.

Speaker 1 (28:37):
There were some passes that should have been intercepted that
weren't intercepted.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
It was a mess.

Speaker 1 (28:41):
If you watch the game, we man there was that
one tour through the interception and then the very next
play the Rams fumbled the ball back. Kyrin Williams fumbled
the ball back to the Dolphins. What is this Pop
Warner All Star Football?

Speaker 6 (28:55):
Oh they're trying to.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
Do Yeah, both teams were doing jokes.

Speaker 6 (29:01):
Then the Rams won the Super Bowl a couple of years.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
That was a couple of years ago. That's what doesn't matter.
This is a new year.

Speaker 1 (29:10):
You you were you were worth millions in the eighties
and ate the eighties.

Speaker 3 (29:18):
You own.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
You were the king of toys in Manhattan. Now you're
hanging out with us in Miami.

Speaker 1 (29:24):
I was the clause you went from Santa Claus to
Weed clause.

Speaker 6 (29:32):
You gotta get rid of your quarterback.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
Well, he didn't play well in this game. They will
likely get rid of him at the end of the year.
I'd be surprised if Stafford's back next year.

Speaker 6 (29:42):
So, hey, and Mike is fighting Friday Saturday?

Speaker 2 (29:48):
Right? Is in the fight on Saturdays? On Friday? I
thought it was on Saturday. Friday? Is it Friday?

Speaker 3 (29:53):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (29:53):
I thought it was on Saturday. Oh, I'm glad you
told me. I thought it was on Saturday.

Speaker 1 (29:57):
Oh God, I'm gonna have to what now, I'm gonna
change my Mike Tyson said he his intentions are to
hurt Jake Paul God I.

Speaker 6 (30:05):
Help, so, I would hope.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
So, yeah, Hey, what.

Speaker 6 (30:09):
Are they doing? They're having two minute rounds. I never
heard of that.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
They said it's a legit fight in meaning that if
Tyson loses, it'll be on his record.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
I don't know about that though, Yeah.

Speaker 6 (30:18):
But they shaid I heard somebody say two minute rounds
instead three.

Speaker 9 (30:24):
That's not right.

Speaker 2 (30:26):
Yeah, he did have different rules. I don't have him
in front of me. But Tyson, he's you know, he's
getting He's not.

Speaker 6 (30:33):
He's fifty seven years Yeah, come.

Speaker 1 (30:36):
On, we Man, you gotta Would you fight Mike Tyson
if they at age fifty seven? Would weed Man get
the ring with Mike Dyson for uh fifty dollars? For
fifty dollars? Would you Mike?

Speaker 3 (30:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (30:49):
Mike Tyson in the South Beach, he was smoking. He
was smoking weed.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
You're smoking weed with Mike Dyson. That's by smoking weed
with my weed man together two peas in a pod
right there.

Speaker 7 (31:03):
I marry Jane right now.

Speaker 2 (31:05):
I know you do it. I do too. But listen,
here's the thing, weed Man.

Speaker 1 (31:09):
You would fight Tyson if the money was right there, Tyson,
one punch, you'd fly out of the ring, though, I
would think, yeah, you'd be like a kite flying in
the sky if Tyson.

Speaker 6 (31:20):
Wow. You remember when Mikekryson was chasing Mike Michael Jordan's.

Speaker 9 (31:26):
Do you remember that?

Speaker 3 (31:27):
No?

Speaker 6 (31:27):
I don't remember Mike Tyson chasing Michael Jordan's.

Speaker 1 (31:32):
I remember when after the Holy Field fight, I covered
a Tyson fight and they were a police in the
middle of the ring.

Speaker 2 (31:38):
Because they were afraid he was going.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
To attack fran Botha, who was he was fighting in
Vegas and they had cops and that was that was crazy.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
I gotta go weed man, but thank you. No, there's
a weed man.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
Checking and Matt is in Wisconsin and he is up
next in the cheese.

mister Eddie. I'm gonna miss that guy. I love the
camaraderie that you guys have. And my favorite thing is
says Puck the World updates.

Speaker 2 (32:23):

to that and if you can fetch around with your
phone and figure that out. And he's on social media
Eddie and Eddie Garcia and also you can email him

Twin Cities.

Okay, I got you.

Speaker 11 (33:00):
I drive to the cities every day and we offload
bargeres off the Mississippi River.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
So, oh, that's pretty cool.

Speaker 1 (33:06):
Yeah, that was I was neat And when I was
in Minnesota, you had to, you know, walk across the
mighty Mississippi River.

Speaker 2 (33:11):
I thought that was pretty cool. But I'm from California,
you know, so for me it was like, you know,
it's a cool thing for you.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
You see that every day, You're like yeah, and Lrae
is looking at me like, wait, the Mississippi River goes
to Minnesota.

Speaker 5 (33:22):
I'm just wondering how like wide it is that you
could walk across it, Like, that's the Jesus stuff.

Speaker 1 (33:27):
I didn't walk on it. I wasn't walking on it.
There was a bridge in Minnesota. That's near the factories there.
Would you probably go to that right there, Matt, Right
in that area, I would think, yeah, something like that.

Speaker 11 (33:39):
I'm an industrial the city. Yeah, absolutely, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
You see that Pillsbury sign there in Minnesota? You do that?
You see that?

Speaker 11 (33:45):
Yeah, in Mineapolis. I just wanted to touch base real
quick about the Vikings. Where do you think Arnold's going
next year? Because he's definitely not sticking around.

Speaker 1 (33:55):
I don't think, yeah, he'll be a back up if
he plays the way he did on Sunday. That's obvious, right,
you know that. You don't need me to tell you
he'll be a backup somewhere. He will not start again.
That's it. He's done now. It's only just only one game.
But I was seeing signs that he was he was
the last couple of weeks. I thought he would play
well for a quarter and then suck for two and
then play alright and one. There was no consistency with that.

(34:18):
The overall numbers were not bad, but I didn't see
the consistency. But yeah, he's he's playing himself out of
a starting job somewhere else for sure. All Right, thank you, Matt.
Be safe out there, driving around. Dennis is up next
in Boston.
