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

Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our number too big and bold. Dak Prescott is
not walking through that door. Dak Prescott going to undergo
season ending surgery today. Maybe by the time you download
this podcast you will have had that surgery. Jerry Jones says,
the prognosis for the Cowboys star is wonderful. Is that

(00:22):
how you see it? Also, Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores
would love to be an NFL head coach again, is this.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
Possible or impossible?

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Also Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelcey, they both had their
Kansas City area houses burglarized back in October.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
What do you make of this real crime mystery.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
We'll talk about that as well, all of it right
here as we play hide and go seek in our
number two. A little snap, crackle, pop. It's good anytime,
not just in the morning. Welcome in, not be beginning
of another hour of the Benmlor Show.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
We are in the air eywhere benfellows as we talk
to express not to impress coast coast sport of the
motor and beyond on the mast and impressively powerful microphones

(01:24):
of FSR am monating live.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
From the Bonanza, the Bonanza of banter. We are broadcasting
live from the tyrack dot com studios.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
Tyract dot com will help you get there.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
Unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free road hazard protection and
over ten thousand recommended in stars. Tyraq dot com. The
Way Tire Buying Show be headline this hour from Big
d follow up to Injure NFL Quarterback. If you have

(02:02):
not been paying attention, maybe not. The Dallas Cowboys are horrific.
They suck, but they are good for what we do.
So Jerry Jones has given his latest State of the
Cowboy Union address as the sky is falling in Dallas.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Jerry had a positive outlook.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
Regarding the big news of the week here that Dakota
Prescott is down for the cown and as we anticipated,
the hamstring injury, which originally was said to be a
four week injury, will cost.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Him the rest of the season.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Which she could argue that the Cowboys season was over
weeks ago, but dak the hammy went whammy and now
dak is going bye bye as he will undergo season
ending surgery just hours from now on this Wednesday. Because remember,
if you've ever had a medical procedure, you want to

(02:58):
have that done early in the morning. They only really
do emergency stuff later in the day. But you want
to be the first one in, not the last one
in to the operating room. So Jerry, putting some spin
spin spin on this story, said it's a more common,
more common injury in hockey, and that he's got doctors

(03:20):
that are very familiar with how to repair it. Blah
blah blah blah blah, and one of his many sports
radio appearances, and his prognosis, according to Jerry Jones, is wonderful.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
It just means that we're not going to have him
the rest of the year. Close quote. So let us
discuss parsing the words. That's what we do, right, We
parse the words of different people. In this case it
is Jerry Jones. So as we discuss the question.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
Dak Prescott set to undergo season endering, season ending hamstring surgery,
but Jerry Jones says the Cowboys prognosis is wonderful for
Dak Prescott.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
Is that how you see it.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
I've got Missouri, Burger and Denzel and we will combine
all of these things together.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
And we're gonna make this monologue finger licking good is
what we're going to do. So Nam Burn that's right, Jerry.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Jerry Jones is serving up pies, polly Pies, because Jerry
is a Pollyanna is what he is when it comes
is he thinks this will be a made for TV
movie for Dak Prescott. At least that's what he wants
you to believe, working as a cock eyed optimist here
now from the cockpit as he rides around the vomit comet.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
Some thirty thousand feet in the sky that would be yours.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
Truly, we are agnostic on this one, all right, we
are agnostic on this the Skeptics Club of America. If
you will now, I was. I just had a great
weekend in Kansas City. People are so nice and right
there on the the Missouri Kansas Porter. But my favorite
state motto is the one from Missouri, and that applies

(05:05):
to Dak Prescott, meaning that it is a show me
state of mind. Right, I'm gonna show me state? Am
you gotta show me? Even if Dak comes back and
plays well in the regular season, Even if that were
to happen, you would still say.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
Okay, Fine's gonna play well in the regular zea. But
you don't trust him in big games, and you look
at the the comps.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
Dak's gonna be thirty two next summer, which again is
not old in the real world, but in the sports world,
you're very end of your athletic prime according to the
way the body deterrorates athletically. You mix in the fact
that he has been bruised and battered Dak Prescott, and
I'm not exaggerating. This is not a low mileage automobile.

(05:51):
Dakota has been kicked, knead elbowed and poked in the
eyes many many times. And also the old foot to
the nuts. Since COVID, I'll not even going before that,
but since COVID, dak has missed a significant amount of
time with a fractured ankle.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
Remember that that was the crack part, a mangled shoulder,
that was.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
The snap part, and had the leg calf strain, the
fractured thumb, and now the hammy went whammy coming off
the bone like you know that really well cooked chicken
where the chicken just falls off the bone. That was
the hamstring falling off the bone for Dak Prescott. So
you have to question the durability. Well, you shouldn't do that.

(06:35):
You shouldn't You shouldn't do that.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
Well, you have to do that.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
You have to question the durability as Dak piles on
the mileage. Now, he's not piling on any mileage right
now because he's not playing. However, however, Rehab is a
son of a something, a son of something all right. Now,
pitch you to the Twin Cities we go where Minnesota

(06:58):
defensive coordinator Brian Flores, sending a recent podcast interview, that
he would absolutely love to be an NFL head coach again.
He said, Look, there's only thirty two of these jobs,
so I would certainly want to be a.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
Head coach in this league. Again. I think this is
a quote from Brian Flores.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
I think a lot of people view the Miami experience
as if I see it all negative.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
I really don't, he said. Now again the key.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
Part of that Viking defensive coordinator Brian Flores would love
to be an NFL head coach again?

Speaker 1 (07:38):
Is this possible or impossible?

Speaker 2 (07:42):
So you're asking me today, We do the show today
and I give my opinion today and based on the
information I have today at this moment.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
This is a burger.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
It is not a nothing burger. It is an impossible burger,
is what it is right. It's just a plant based
meat that kind of tastes and cooks like real groundby,
but it's not real. It's not the real thing if.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
You look at it. Brian Flores is suing the NFL
and every single owner. They're all getting sued. Now.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
I work in radio, which has had better days, right,
But I've worked with a few people that have sued
radio companies, and the one thing they all have in
common is some of them got settlements, some of them
won their lawsuits, some of them lost their lawsuits, but
none of them worked for that radio company again who
they sued, right, And so the fact that Flora's is
even employed in the NFL is rather shocking. So I

(08:44):
would say, outside of dropping the lawsuit, it's kind of
obvious here that it is impossible.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
To see a scenario where Flores is hired.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
Even if the Vikings going to a run, which is
impossible now because Sam Donald's playing like Sam Donald from
The j and whatnot.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
But Brian Flores is toxic for head coaching.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
Jobs, even though he appears to be one of the
great defensive coordinators of this generation of coaches, and he
gave a great quote about attack is the best way
to defend and at which is not too shabby.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
The Vikings have gone from.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
Lightweights or middleweights defensively and they're playing like heavyweights. They
are absolutely playing like heavyweights and defense. But if you've
seen Sam Darnold play, the Sam slide is underway. So
in order for this to work out, the Vikings are
going to have to be the purple people eaters of
years gone by, and even that likely will not be enough.

(09:40):
Reality has now set. In my final point, we head
now to Cansau City, where Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelsey.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
Are living high on the hog.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
It's a barbecue hog and they both happen on a
lucky rabbits feed and a horseshoe. Homes and Kelsey in
the police blotter Police blotter this week.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
They did not commit a crime. They were apparently the
victims of crime. The story came out that their homes,
their Kansas City area homes.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
Were burglarized while they were playing in a game back
in October.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
That game against the Saints, remember the primetime game.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
Yeah, Mahomes and Kelsey their home was a burglar by
both their homes around that game.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
So what do you make of this one. What do
you make so I read the story Unless I read
it wrong, I don't think I did. It smells like
an old school.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
Denzel Washington flick Inside Man, right, that film is about
some bank heist they turns into a hostage situation on
Wall Street. But this is more of I said, an
inside job, an inside job, And that's definitely more of
a Los Angeles thing than in Midwest thing. That a

(11:02):
number of pro athletes in LA have had their homes
burglarized while they're playing in games.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
Happens are quite a bit, happens quite a bit. I
haven't heard a lot of that.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
I guess maybe in a few other states, but Kansas
City not one of those. It hasn't happened much in
the Midwest. But the crooks strike while you're on the clock,
and it didn't happen in both of those situations. But
around they knew that the people would not be there.
But I drove around Kansas. My friend Bob Fesco, the

(11:33):
Morning Guy, gave me a VIP tour, drove me all
over Kansas City and Kansas that part of you know,
the part right across the train tracks there, the Missouri
River and all that and the places these guys live
are massive, they have big security systems. They are private communities,

(11:55):
they're gated communities. Now that doesn't mean you can't break
into a gated house, but it's a lot harder. And
so if I read this right, like nobody detected the
breach until the bad actors were gone.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
So something smells a little fishy, right, just a little
little fishy. The amount of people that are there. It's
not just the people that live there. I mean there's security,
there's all kinds of things.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
It's something bizarre, something oh so bizarre happened. Will they
catch the bad guys that broke into the home, and
what do they take? We don't really know if they
took anything. Based on what I read, it's like, sure,
imagine having so much stuff somebody breaks into your home
and you're not sure what if they took anything? You know,

(12:42):
you're not exactly sure because you have so much stuff.
You're like, I don't know, maybe they did, but I'm
not sure. It's possible they did. But I mean, I
have a lot of stuff and I have no idea.

(14:51):
You can follow the cop blew me off the Coop
dal Loop better known as a Bronco fan uh Bronco
Fans Bronco nos at the end of Bronco Up Bronco Fan.
And you can also follow now it says here Iowa Sam,
which tells me this copy has not been updated in

(15:11):
a long time and no one's valuable to read the copy.
That is a disrespected lorena. I can't believe that the
copies Iowa Sam has been on the show has been on.
He was on the show for about two minutes and
then quit because you couldn't handle the hours.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
And then we've been here six months now.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
I believe, so it's it says follow Iowa Sam at
FSR tech queen.

Speaker 1 (15:34):
So apparently Iowa Sam's become a queen that I just yeah,
I see what happened. Yeah yeah. Or you can follow
the Rainau and there you go.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
Right now though, let's uh, this is Bill Miller sending
the show back to Ben Mallard.

Speaker 1 (15:53):
All Right, thank you, Bill, A good job on the
read there, you idiot. I don't know why you read
the Iowa Sam thing.

Speaker 2 (15:59):
It's a job by you late night drug tester writes in, says,
bad job by the criminals.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
In Cannes City.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
Mahomes and Kelsey have nothing as valuable as the secret
Mallard chicken finger recipe and the landing their kitchen. Let
me tell you something I had to and I'll talk
more about this on my podcast. I think we'll do
this on the Saturday pot. I'll have a Mallard travelog.
Very few people can enjoy the Mallard travelogue. They don't
get the Mallard travelogue only on the podcast. So at

(16:31):
the Mallard chicken fingers to the landing in Liberty. It's
it's a great location, tons of TVs everywhere, it's.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
Perfect to watch sports. But these things are and they
don't they're massive, but they don't. They don't charge that much.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
And as I I'm used to California prices like those,
the Mallard chicken fingers if they were in California would
be like thirty bucks, and they're like ten.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
Bucks at the land. They look beautiful. Oh, they're amazing.
The breading look crispy. Yeah, it was crazy. That big
pot of fries there and the honey mustard. Oh so Doc,
it was great. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
Now I did see some a holes, including my wife
eating ranch dressing. But there's bad people. Ferg dog rights
and says I hope the thieves stole a pair of
Taylor Swift shoes. They'd be a great addition to my
Swifty collection. Yeah, okay, who else do we have? Fased
King Roy, says Bobby Portos of the bucks at his
house robbed earlier this month. Like you said, Ben, I

(17:26):
would expect this to happen in the big towns like
la or Houston, not small Midwestern towns like little Old Milwaukee.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
Is this what the people voted for? I hope not. Well,
this is a crime.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
Syndicate, right, isn't that suppose I read that they're they're
targeting famous people they know athletes when they're when they're
at work.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
It's kind of a public thing. Yes week, Yeah, there
you go.

Speaker 3 (17:55):
Yeah, they double tapped them right like they knew they
were together, so they hit both houses.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
Uh yeah, I mean I don't know if it's exactly
the same night and all that stuff, but yeah, it
sounds like, yeah it was. Uh, you know, it was
clearly planned that this happened a lot with Dodger guys.
They would get robbed quite a bit.

Speaker 5 (18:13):
So kudos to Villians.

Speaker 1 (18:16):
Why would you give them kudos? Why?

Speaker 5 (18:18):
Because you know, you really have to be smart about it.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
They didn't get caught, did they, Well, not yet, not yet.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
Normally the only ones that got there's only two criminals
that have really gotten away with it, and that's the
Geezer bandit who robbed banks up and down the West Coast,
the Geezer banded uh and then the guy dB Cooper
that jumped out of the plane. One of my favorite stories,
and Art Bell used to talk about this over at
Coast to Coast.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
The Mystery of dB Cooper. I'm sure that George Nor's
done as well, that's all. It's wonderful story.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
I watched several documentaries I've read books about dB Cooper.

Speaker 1 (18:55):
He jumped out of a plane. You don't know that story, Lorraine.
Now I'm gonna have to lie. Could have been Oh it.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
Happened before you were alive, But happened before I was alive.
And it was it was in the Pacific Northwest. Yeah, yeah,
they they because of dB Cooper. They changed all the
airplanes in the world. Because airplanes at that time anyway,
you had to go out to exit the plane. Some
of the planes you walked out the back the uh,

(19:21):
the gate would come down and you could walk out
the back. There were some stairs that would come down.
And dB Cooper, they think it was a former military guy.
But he he hijacked the plane, held it for ransom,
got a ransom, then they took off and he got.

Speaker 1 (19:39):
A parachute and he jumped out of the plane. Wow
over like it was over.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
The Washington I think it was the Washington Oregon border.
And they never got him, They never got the money,
they never.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
Got him, and nobody knows, you know, who he was.

Speaker 2 (19:55):
And a bunch of people have claimed to be him,
and they're you know, some on their death they've said, Hey,
I'm dB Cooper, and it turns out no, I.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
Don't really know. Never found him.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
I'm very.

Speaker 1 (20:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:09):
All right, let's go to the phone, so I get
that dump button ready. We'll say hello to Angry Bill,
who's on the Ben Malor Show. Hello Angry Bill.

Speaker 6 (20:19):
That's text on nice Ben. They'd be ready to dumb button.
You will over exaggerate me. One thing I want to
talk about this morning. A couple of things happened the
last couple of days. People want to make big deals
and they want to get their nose into other people's business.
Michael Strahan is standing there doing the national anthemy, his
hands on his side. I don't know what the big

(20:40):
deal is. Come on, the guy's standing there listening to
national anthem. Okay, I don't get it. And then our
buddy for Jack del rio to the ex coach of
the Jaguars, decides he want us to have a couple
of drinks. Goes through a fence, it's a sign, winds
up in somebody's front one and again they want to
make a big deal about it. So bad day America work.

(21:00):
I can't go out snow it down whatever merit drinks
he wants that people don't leave them alone, you know,
I just I don't get. I don't get these people.

Speaker 2 (21:10):
You missed, you missed the you missed the good old days,
right when you drove drunk, and then the cops would
drive you home and say, sober up, you missed those exactly.

Speaker 6 (21:18):
My old man would go out to a bar have drinks.
The cops would see his station wagon there, Come on, Charlie,
let's go home. Pick him home. Been the best thing.
The next morning they pick him up and drive him back.

Speaker 7 (21:29):
In his car.

Speaker 1 (21:31):
That's very nice of them to do.

Speaker 3 (21:32):
You know, that is the picture perfect prime example of
a cop that's such a good one.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
That's how they do it in Jersey.

Speaker 2 (21:38):
Right there, that's Customer Nutley, New Jersey, Customer Service and Nutley,
New Jersey.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
Really that was people. Well that was the Uber before Uber.
Back then. You know that they would just give you
a ride.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
There was a ride sharing thing and I was just wonderful.
And that explains a lot about angry Bill. Yeah, angry Bill.

Speaker 6 (21:55):
I don't understand. This guy breaks into this guy's Kelsey's place. Yeah,
and it's true that he took a pair of hells
with shoes. Come on the way, if I broke into
your place, I take a pair of your pants.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
Yeah there, all right, school, I understand, all right, thank
you angry Bill, so so kind.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
Yeah, your calls are very predictable. You're waiting for that.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
You want to talk for as long as you can,
and then you know at some point you're going to
say something, and you're just waiting for the other shoe
to drop, and you know it's going to happen.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
You just just waiting for it.

Speaker 2 (22:32):
Let's go to the phones again. We'll say hello to Andrew.
Who's in Baker's Field, Caddie? Yeah, hello, Andrew.

Speaker 7 (22:43):
How's it going?

Speaker 1 (22:43):
Man? Oh, it's just wonderful, Andrew. I'm living the dream
all right.

Speaker 7 (22:50):
So I used to start listening to you in Fresno.
I used to be able to see and I was driving.
I used to get Wendy's and then going to the
Costco parking lot and I your name might be Ben
Mallard like a duck. Yeah, and then I found out anyways,
and I became blind and anyways, So for Eddie Garcia,

(23:12):
I think the higher ups need to take another look
and uh, you know the low gravelly voice. Eddie Garcia
is a legend and he's your only connection through through
all the shows to the NHL and Brian Finley is
good too, is that snipe?

Speaker 2 (23:34):
Well, let's not get carried away here. You keep that up,
I'm gonna drop a piano on you. If you keep
that up, I'll drop a piano.

Speaker 7 (23:46):
Well yeah, so I wanted to just say that, bring
Eddie back, baby.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
All right, Well, I'm sure the company is listening, and
they'll bring Eddie right back that you said that, and
they'll realize the mistake of their ways because Andrew and
Bakersfield called up and so now they're probably on the
phone right now with that.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
He trying to wake him up to get him to
come back. I'm sure that's going on.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
Because you know, if Andrew and Bakersfield that used to
eat Windy's at Costco said it, then that, I'm sure
they'll listen to you.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
Clearly, that's that's going to happen. There's no no debate,
no no debate at all.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
So it's not every day a athlete with a two
hundred million dollar contract gets ripped. In many ways, this
is a I would consider this a public censuring of
the player. Date line big a Anaheim, California and the

(24:46):
future of the malcontent malfeasant Anthony Wrendon a conversation this
baseball off season. The Angels coming off the season, they
were one loss so way they couldn't and I lose
one hundred.

Speaker 1 (25:01):
Games the right way.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
They only lost ninety nine and sucked at a time
you cannot suck. But the good news is they still
have Anthony Rendon under contract. They gave him years ago
a seven year, two hundred and forty five million dollar
contract to form to form a they thought was going
to be a murderer's row with Mike Trout and show

(25:23):
Hey Otani. The only murder that those guys committed was
against the Angel fan base, as Mike Trout and Rendon
got to be the dynamic duo and the injury tent.
And Otani also spent some time hurt with the age.
Wait place, you got to be kidding me very very well,
Well I get to the point.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
Please all right.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
So the Angels GM Perrymnesen will not he appeared on
some YouTube thing.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
I think it was on YouTube the Angel GM.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
Nobody else wants to interview Perry Madesen. The GM there
in Anaheim said.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
That Rendon is not guaranteed to be in the starting lineup.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
Ah yeah, he said, he has to show us he
can still play and earn the right to play every day.
The Angels GM said of Rendon, can you imagine giving
someone two hundred and forty five million dollars The contract
is not over yet.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
Now let me point out this is the right position.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
I credit the Angels because you shouldn't play the guy.
The guy is just bad for business. He doesn't like baseball,
he's not good at baseball. He's hurt all the time,
he's got a bad attitude. He's everything that is wrong
with modern professional sports is Anthony Rendon, right, thirty four

(26:46):
years old, dream job and all that looks like he's
working at a salt mine somewhere.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
Right working in the fact.

Speaker 2 (26:52):
I mean, I got we got guys on this show
that are listening to us right now. I met one
of them who spends all night by miss several them,
but one of the guys that stood out.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
He makes bullets all night. And he explained what it
was like. He's like, there's like it says, bullets on
the floor.

Speaker 2 (27:09):
There's bullets in the you know, everywhere because they're making
them and they're dropping on the floor and all this
like that. That's a hard ass job, right. Anthony Rendon
is expected to play baseball one hundred and sixty two
games a year or something close to that, and he
seems like the most unhappiest guy in the world. And
that for the Angels to say he's not guaranteed the

(27:30):
starting job when he's making thirty five million per year
and it's guaranteed money, I mean, that is that is insane?

Speaker 1 (27:41):
Are you crying? Crying?

Speaker 2 (27:44):
I mean, think about it. He's younger than Freddie Freeman,
who was just the World Series MVP for the Dodgers.
And Rendon is a net negative and he had one
you talk about a money grab when he was in Washington.
He actually a pretty good player, and he had that
ridiculous playoff run with the Nationals, that that whole natitude thing,

(28:06):
and you talk about planning for that, that big contract,
and the Angels were the suckers that gave him the contract,
and the Angel's not guaranteeing him he's starting by now.
Speaking of the Angels, they made a free agent signing.
I know Cooper Loops excited. He told me off the
air that he's going to be back on the Angel bandwagon.
Here in twenty twenty five.

Speaker 6 (28:26):
He a new Jersey.

Speaker 1 (28:28):
Yes, I always good business to sign catchers.

Speaker 2 (28:33):
You need a catcher, Travis Darnaul coop, Are you excited,
little horny on that?

Speaker 1 (28:37):
Travis Darnault now an angel, I'm thrilled. Yeah, two year.

Speaker 2 (28:41):
Contract was twelve million dollars. Now if I'm not mistaken,
Travis Darnaut, who he's seen a fing or two. He's
thirty five years old, So you signed a thirty five
year old catcher, now mine?

Speaker 1 (28:55):
Now mistaken? Don't catchers have to squad down? Isn't that
bad for your knees? Isn't that? And he's done this
a long time, but that is the latest.

Speaker 5 (29:04):
Edition to the Knees Man, All in the knees.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
A lot of squatting. There's a lot of squatting there
involved with the catching position.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
And I'm sure there is no decline, there is no
down down down down down?

Speaker 1 (29:19):
How low can you?

Speaker 2 (29:20):
Let's say hello to weed Man, hippie who's in Miami, Miami, Miami, Miami.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
And he is next star friend weed Man? Oh good,
how weed Man?

On your mind? Weed?

Speaker 7 (30:55):

Speaker 6 (30:55):
Oh I got funny.

Speaker 8 (30:57):
I thought there was a phone number.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
Well, there's probably a number, but they want you to
go to the website. And there might be a number
on there, but they want you to go to the website. Okay,
I'll do it, all right, there's no there's no there's
a better chance that's scratch off flies me, Coop and
Lorena to Arkansas for a meet and greet, which is

(31:20):
zero chance on that.

Speaker 1 (31:22):
Uh yeah, no chance.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
He couldn't even drive over to Kansas City. He's always
got issues anyway, But who cares about it?

Speaker 1 (31:29):
But what about you?

Speaker 4 (31:31):
Hi?

Speaker 1 (31:32):
Oh my god, get to the point. Please, my god,
you're wasting live.

Speaker 8 (31:37):
How Cleveland twelve and all? Why are they so Goodland basketball?

Speaker 1 (31:47):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (31:47):
I was like, I thought he was talking about football.
I was like, plays week, it's week eleven. Yeah, it's
early in the season. They're playing well, they've played some
bad teams and so good for them. But it doesn't
matter in the NBA. Yeah, you could go eighty one
and one and it wouldn't matter when.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
The playoffs come out.

Speaker 6 (32:04):
Yes, I guess, I mean, I.

Speaker 1 (32:08):
Mean let me say it doesn't matter.

Speaker 2 (32:09):
But at the same time, I do respect the fact
that in a sport where the there's the disease of
I don't want to I don't care about the regular season,
it doesn't matter, and that's the attitude. Well, at least
that team is demonstrating in Cleveland for now that they
do it does matter to them and they are trying
to win regular season games and that is fantastic, So

(32:31):
good for them to.

Speaker 8 (32:33):
Absolutely And I see the Knicks beast Philadelphia, and my
first response is did Joel and play?

Speaker 1 (32:41):
He did play, but he's a mister softy and he was.

Speaker 4 (32:46):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
I saw the first half of this game. He was
zero for three on the on the floor in the
first time.

Speaker 2 (32:54):
He made some shots from the foul line, but he
he only took three shots and he's very passive and
there's a lot going.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
On with that guy.

Speaker 8 (33:01):
Wow, I never thought I never thought that would be
true with him. And I mean, you know, his first.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
Game back, it was he was way he got suspended
and all that, and I guess he won't play in
the next game because he's only gonna play like one
game a week or something like that.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
I think is the know, you don't want to work
too hard.

Speaker 2 (33:19):
He's gonna treat Joel Andbeach streeting the NBA like it's
in the NFL, where you play once on Sunday, maybe Thursday,
maybe Monday.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
That that's it. Joel Andbi took Joel and Me took
eleven shots.

Speaker 2 (33:32):
Weed Man was two of eleven in his much ballyhood
return to the Philadelphia basketball team. No back to back,
no God forbid, you know, because but you don't work
back to backs either, so you shouldn't talk.

Speaker 1 (33:46):
We man, you do not work to backs.

Speaker 8 (33:48):
People got to send in jokes. Wow them up where
they send jokes to Ben.

Speaker 2 (33:53):
That's Ben Malors Show at gmail dot com. Benmallers Show
at gmail dot com. Lane Joe of the Week, which
will be coming your way.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
Not tomorrow, no, no, no, but the day after right
Friday morning, yeah, Thursday, and the Friday's our Friday show.

Speaker 8 (34:12):
I mean, I mean Benon Willison went to Tank, went
to the Pelicans, and he didn't exactly shit the Pelicans
on fire. I never hear.

Speaker 2 (34:23):
Yeah, well, and he's fat. Why don't we replace Lizzo
with Zion Williams. He's going to be out four to six,
he got hurt again. His fat ass is always getting hurt.
That guy can't stay in the court.

Speaker 8 (34:34):
Man he was such a big deal too, and now
he comes into the league and does nothing.

Speaker 2 (34:40):
I do like the fact that the Pelicans, because they're
such a minor league Bush League, got fit. They gave
Zion Williamson another contract, which he did not deserve, and
it's it's insane.

Speaker 1 (34:52):
At least Kawhi Leonard won a championship with another team,
but they gave Zion.

Speaker 2 (34:56):
They gave Zion one hundred and ninety three million dollars
max and the guys that complete zero when he just
doesn't play.

Speaker 1 (35:06):
He signed up through twenty twenty eight. It's insane. All right,
I gotta go. We've been all right, Thank you, go away.

Speaker 2 (37:15):
Deshaun Watson, Bryce Young and Blank are the only qualified
quarterbacks who do not have a touchdown pass on throws
outside the end zone this season.

Speaker 1 (37:28):
And that is the Insta trivia. What is the answer?
Let's see does anyone know the answer?

Speaker 2 (37:33):
We go to the as I like to say, the
great Unwashed here, the Holy Polloy the Yeah, all right, let's.

Speaker 1 (37:40):
See weed Man Hippie of the Reefers from malor prop Guy.
That's his answer.

Speaker 2 (37:46):
Dwayne something Something something something Camacho from Random Ryan in Carolina.
Cowboy Killer says it has to be Hercules guessed by
the as I mentioned Cowboy Killer.

Speaker 1 (37:57):
King Kong Bundy.

Speaker 2 (37:58):
Now that's a legend from Rob in Vegas, The Sultan
of Squat, weed Man Hippie from Milkman, Mike in Colorado,
Bobby Sheridan from alf the Alien o Piner.

Speaker 1 (38:09):
It's a good looking card right there. Who else do
we have? Page down? Bo Nicks from econ Roseville, Minnesota.

Speaker 2 (38:16):
Teddy Igaragus by mister nice guy, I forty ian says
Jim Daniels, is the answer of part of the Fox
Sports Radio Alumni Association. You're digging Deep by forty in
Spencer Rattler from Donkeys Sausage, Jack del Rio from King Rory.

Speaker 1 (38:33):
All right, Lorena, what say you? Lorena? I think it's
I think it's too a tongue of iloa.

Speaker 7 (38:38):
Ben.

Speaker 1 (38:39):
Wow, you said that named proper. That's impressive. No, you're wrong.
It is J Jayden Daniels of the Washington whatever they're called. Yeah,
the watching m the college in Washington. And here we
got in commanders. Oh I thought it was the Redskins
are here we go, we go.

Speaker 4 (38:57):
This is one big, Ben get.

Speaker 5 (39:01):
The Texans have lost three out of their last four games,
and C. J. Stroud hasn't looked particularly great over that stretch.

Speaker 1 (39:07):
That's an understatement.

Speaker 5 (39:08):
Well, Ben, do you think that this is a regression,
a sophomore slump, or something else.

Speaker 2 (39:13):
So at this point, it is a fifty to fifty raffle.
It could go either way. It's a small sample size.
The arrow is pointing towards a regression. Stroud was one
of the great rookies in NFL history. Last year he
had he has better players around him, we were told
this year, but he's performed worse the last month. He's
the thirty eighth ranked quarterback in the NFL. There's only
thirty two teams, and things should get better. They have

(39:36):
the hostess schedule if teams like Houston. Houston plays the Cowboys,
the Titans, and the Jaguars coming up. But he's not
playing well and you can lose to anybody with the
quarterback who sucks.

Speaker 1 (39:45):
Next.

Speaker 5 (39:46):
Now, Ben, let's say the Chiefs are sixteen to zero
heading into Week eighteen, and yeah, they have the number
one seed all locked up. Do you think Andy Reid
plays the starters to go for the undefeated season.

Speaker 2 (39:55):
Yes, because A, I've seen the script and b Andy
Reid appreciates history and he knows how big a deal
that would be for him, how big a deal that
would be for Mahomes. And you can't coach scared, you
can't play scared, So I say yes.

Speaker 1 (40:07):
Next.

Speaker 5 (40:08):
A few weeks ago, a report came out saying Drawn
Mayo was not guaranteed a second season leading the Patriots. Now,
a new report says that ownership remans solidly behind him.
And do you think Mayo's back next season?

Speaker 2 (40:18):
Why, I will guarantee one of those reports Koop is accurate.
One of those reports will be right. And there's still
time to f this thing up. The Pats have won
two of free. They beat the Bears of the Jets,
play the Rams. There's some more winnable games there. It's
there's a lot left in the season. It can go
really bad, but at this point he's okay.

Speaker 1 (40:37):
How we do he passes editions?

Speaker 4 (40:39):
That is it.
