Speaker 2 (01:41):
Be.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
So I know it's awkward. You probably think this show
has been recorded. I mean, I'm a big TV star now,
I can't be doing overnight radio on Thanksgiving. What kind
of loser would work on Thanksgiving? Right? But it might
be live. I don't know, who knows, I have no idea.
We'll we'll figure this out together. But here we are
in our number three. I'm told of the big radio program.
(02:06):
So our lead this hour in our three is from
Jerry's World. In the middle game of today's Turkey Day
triple header. Whoooo the Cowboys, How about them Cowboys? They're
going to play host to the Higantes, the football version
of the Higantes that is in the again the middle game. Now,
this is not a highly anticipated matchup. This is not
(02:29):
a must see matchup. It's just not. It will get
a good rating because people do not want to spend
time with their relatives, and we'll watch the game. It
will be on at many a Thanksgiving feast, but it's
not a game that you're all jones up to watch.
Cooper Rush will be under center. Dakota Prescott will be
(02:49):
watching from the booth upstairs. Now. Speaking of that, former
Cowboy coach Jimmy Johnson had a lot to say about
the damaged quarterback. If you did not hear, perhaps perhaps now.
So Jimmy Johnson appeared on Fox Sports Radio with the
guy that's on when I'm sleeping, Colin Cowherd. He's my
(03:10):
overnight guy. And so Jimmy Johnson was on with Colin
Cowherd and said that he would have never ever given
Dak Prescott a new contract before the season, instead having
Dak Prescott play out the season. Now, Jimmy Johnson also
went on to say that Dak Prescott, being the highest
(03:31):
paid player in the league, he's not the best player
in the league. He went on to groan about how
financially strapped the woebegone Cowboys are now because of this
move and said that a coaching change really wouldn't matter
because of that. He implied all of the salary cap problems.
So let us discuss the question. Jimmy Johnson on the
(03:55):
radio ripping Jerry Jones for paying Dak Prescott. Is that
fair or foul? So I've got Old Country ticketed and cosplay,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make some pecan pie, which is
(04:19):
an underrated pie. The pecan pie. In fact, on my
big board, pecan pie ahead of pumpkin pie. That's a shock.
That's a shock, Jock take. I know, I like the
pecan pie. All right. Now, First of all, this is
it's fair. It's not foul. It's fair, it's wise. It
passes the smell test. Jerry Jones royally screwed up. I
(04:43):
remember talking about this story during the off season. We're
getting choked up now talking about it, but I remember
talking about it during the off season, and I remember
praising if you remember we talked about we were praising
Jerry Jones for not bending over and signing Dak Prescott,
for we're hiding out, being on the down low. And
they waited till the eleventh hour to sign Dak Prescott.
(05:05):
And at the very end, Jerry Jones did the thing
you can't do at the time, you can't do it,
and he let Fomo rule the day. The fear of
missing out, and as Jimmy Johnson laid out here that
if the Cowboys had gone on this year to win
the Super Bowl, Dak Prescott's not going to leave the Cowboys.
He would be able to get the contract he got,
(05:27):
probably even more money, and if he got hurt, which
ended up happening, he would get less money. If he
played well but the Cowboys didn't win, then it's at
the discretion of the Cowboys to negotiate a contract. But
if he didn't win in the playoffs, you're not really
hurt that much if he leaves. But Jerry got a
little temporary dopamine hit and now he's stuck with a
(05:49):
diminishing asset in Dak Prescott for years to come. And
Jimmy Johnson is from the old country. You kids call
him a boomer. He's got this outlook that is antiquated
by the modern NFL. Imagine a world it's gonna blow
you away. Imagine a world where players actually had to
earn the money. They were not paid on what they
(06:11):
might do. They were paid on what they have done
and then what they can continue to do. And there
was a world that existed like that. It's a bygone era.
It's from a very far away time called the nineties
and the early two thousands. But now you get stiffs
like Trevor Lawrence, Alligator Arms, Murray Dak Prescott, among others
(06:37):
who were paid essentially on a wish and a prayer.
It's a lot of wishful thinking, a lot of wishful thinking,
and you're just hoping, You're just hoping everything kind of
comes together and just give them a big pile of money,
because we all know people when they get a lot
of money, they continue to work as hard. All right. Now.
Secondly to the d MV, we go not that DMV
(06:59):
the other, but over recent weeks, there has been a
lot of chatter about the Washington football team. They go
by the nickname the Commanders. It's a dopey name. They
used to be called the Redskins, and a senator from Montana,
senator named Steve Danes is the name, and he spoke
(07:21):
publicly about the possibility this week of the old name return.
You might have seen it. It's made the rounds around
social media. The honorable center from senator from Montana claims
that negotiations surrounding the logo and nickname have gone quite well.
(07:42):
He had a rant and the senator from Montana said
censorship of the former commander's logo was a case of
woke gone wrong. I don't know that many would argue
with that. Yeah. He then said, I applaud the commanders
in the NFL for their commitment to ever censor the
logo again and for working with the family to restore
(08:06):
I guess he's the families in Montana to restore the
logo and the nickname into a place of prominence and
honor to benefit the Indian community Indian country. He stated,
all right, so there is noise that the NFL. There's
a couple of a couple of rumors bounce around in
the echo chamber. One is the NFL will just allow
(08:28):
the merchandise to be sold and they're not going to
put up a fight or anything like that. They're not
going to hide it. Another is that the Redskins nickname
will come back. That now that Trump's president, you're allowed
to have the Redskins nickname and the logo will return.
So the NFL allowing the Redskins' logo and nickname as
(08:54):
it was to return to the league, believe it or not.
So I'm gonna go first. I am not a believer.
I am agnostic on this. Now. To me, seeing is believing,
And if I see it fine, And I understand the
political climate has changed and things got really really crazy
for a couple of years. We all lived through it.
(09:15):
Things got a little wonky, a little bit wonky. And
so now we're going back to the Trump and all that.
It's not a political show. But within being re elected.
To me, it doesn't change things too much. Here's why.
Because the NFL, they don't they can still be ticketed
(09:36):
by the Woke police. So they don't want to get
that ticket. They want to avoid being ticketed by the
Wolk police. And as we understand it, and I've talked
about this with you in the past, I love this
information that was given to me that for several years
the Washington commanders have had think tanks among market research,
(09:57):
among their season ticket holder and just fans in general
in the market in the DMV right in the district
of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia where the fan base is,
and they've asked the customers, listen, this is a temporary name, commanders,
we're going to change the name. What name would you like?
And the overwhelming majority that have responded have said, we
(10:22):
like the Redskins nickname. We would like that as the Moniker.
We want that back. We want that as the name
of the team. That's the people's choice, the Redskins name,
and they've kept it on the down low. It hasn't
gotten too much attention. But it makes sense, right because
a lot of the people they're asking, people that can
afford season tickets, are older. They grew up with the
Redskins name. That's what they know. It's part of their childhood,
(10:45):
it's part of their life as a sports fan. So
it makes sense that they would want that back. But
the NFL to this point has rejected the thought of
bringing back the Redskins nickname. They're worried about being attacked
by the Snowflakes and they don't want that, so they're
they're on guard. Now will that change? It'll change a
(11:08):
little bit. But I'll believe it when I see it.
I'll believe it when I see it. And I used
to take calls. I took a few of them from
people that lived on reservations that loved the name, and
this story. I do the story once once a year
or twice a year would come up. You know they're
(11:28):
gonna get rid of the Redskins name or they Cleveland
Indians name, and I remember getting phone calls from people
that are in that world, that live in that world
on reservations and they're like, oh yeah, people love it
here wherein they wear the logo is it's a thing
of pride, and you know certain certain people say no,
it's not. And then I gotta get rid of it.
Now we move on final thought to the Bay Area
(11:51):
we go, and after that blowout loss at lambeau Field
forty nine or Star Wide receiver Deebo Samuel did not
speak to the media. Boo hoo hoo, no media for me. Well,
I didn't even say that. He just scar daddled out
of the locker room. Now a lot of people found
(12:11):
that puzzling. But now Deebo is giving the rest of
the story, as the late great Paul Harvey would say,
you know the news and now the rest of the story.
So Deebo Samuel swears that he was not approached by
a single member of the media after he got dressed,
and therefore he was allowed to leave the locker room
(12:35):
per NFL guidelines. Now, Deebo Samuel the very public claim
that listen, I did not bail on the forty nine
er media. Those reports are not true. They're simply not true.
Where do you stand on this one? Well, I'm actually sitting.
(12:56):
I'm not standing, but I believe this is what's known
as cosplay. That Deebo Samuel was acting like Hussein Bolt
and sprinted out of the locker room. The flag is
up and off to the races. That Deebo changed as
fast as he could possibly change and ran out of
(13:18):
the locker room. No accountability. Deebo Samuel had the most
disappointing performance, the worst game of his NFL career at
lambeau Field. If you saw the game, you know exactly
what I'm talking about. Now. Deebo caught just one pass
for twenty one yards, but he had two critical booboos,
(13:46):
one of them that led to a deflected interception on
a Brandon Allen pass, and according to the nerds at
Pro Football Focus, Deebo Samuel had the worst ever offensive
grade in his NFL career and dollars to donuts. Just
(14:07):
between me and you, let's imagine that the Niners win
that game, and they won that game on a Brandon
Allen touchdown pass in the back of the end zone
to Deebo Samuel. Do you think that Deebo Samuel would
have talked to the media. Do you think he would
have made sure he waited around for the media to
ask him questions or do you think he would have
(14:29):
run away and said, well, I'm done, I don't need
to do this anymore. I've moved on all right. Time
now for the Malor Riddle of the Day. Now you
can call up. There is a line open. I don't
know why you'd be listening. It's Thanksgiving, but if you
are and and you're lonely and you want to call in,
we're here for you. For some reason. We're doing it
(14:50):
live eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. That's eight
seven seven nine nine six sixty three sixty nine. Also
on x at Bean Mallor and that is where you
can answer the Mallor Riddle of the Day. And here
is the Mallor Riddle of the Day. We'll do a
(15:11):
crossover story. Here's the Mallor Riddle of the day. Taylor
Swift recently made some victory blank for Chiefs players. Now
obviously not this week because they lost to Buffalo, but
Taylor Swift made some victory blank for Chiefs players. And
(15:31):
that is the Mallor Riddle of the day, and of
course they beat Carolina this week. I'm talking about the
after the Buffalo game. This is this past week. So again,
mallor riddle of the day, Taylor Swift made some victory
blank for Chiefs players, and that is the riddle of
the day. The answer, We'll get to it. We'll take
(15:52):
your calls and we will do it all and we
will do it. Next it is I Bill Miller forced
to work on Thanksgiving against my wishes. We'll get back
to Oh no, hell, Bill Miller, Bird Brain, Benny in
a moment. This is the part of the program that
I beg you to promote the Pirate Ship. There is
(16:14):
no budget on this show for advertising, as you might
tell by listening, so we need you to spread the gospel.
To go out and contact people, friends, enemies. Let them
know about the show. Tell them off the podcast they
work the dreaded day Shift. Let them know they can
download the podcast and help the show continue for years
(16:39):
and years to come. I'm with you. We never go away.
It's how depressed would you be if we went away?
Oh my god, you'd be so depressed until somebody else
was here and then you'd love them. Well, let's get
back to the show all right. Time out for the
thank you you just said my name again, Bill, that's
a bad job by your timing out for the Insta trivia,
(16:59):
and it is. Caleb Williams has been sacked forty four
times through eleven games. That's the most by any quarterback
this year. But since two thousand, only David Carr in
that infamous twenty oh five season and Blank had had
forty four sacks in eleven games with the lower yards
per attempt average than Caleb Williams in Chicago this season.
(17:24):
And you got to fill in the blank on the
Insta Tribua. Let's see, does anyone know the answer? Steve
the misplaced San Diegan says fran Tarkington is the answer.
Who else do we have? Page down? Can't read that,
Mo Vaughn guessed by Nick that's a good answer. Whoopee
pie Blair bitch from a milkman Mike, I didn't know
(17:46):
that was his new name. Grizzly Adams from mister nice guy.
Who else do we have? King Eddie Montana from not
a Burner, Ty detmertuss dot by the King Roy Fats
from Philadelphia as it's helmet man is the answer. Let's
gonna know Fats is up with in Philly listening. That's
one of the iconic Phillies fan, an Eagles fan Fats
(18:08):
in Philadelphia. Joe Turkey Jones from Ike and Roseville, Minnesota,
Tim Ratta from Dante. Who else do we have? Page
down blind? Scott guests by not a Burner, the Great
Martin Weiss going with Ryan Fitzpatrick. All right, do you
have an answer quickly though? Ray?
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Now? Yeah, you think it's bratty Quinn.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Oh, I've heard of him, he does some morning show. No,
that is unfortunately correct. The correct answer is Carson Wentz
Eagles his last year in Philadelphia. Carson Wentz. It's Mallard.
How about that? To the third degree, this is one
big gets grilled. I'm ready and I better win. If
(18:49):
I don't win, heads are gonna roll. We bring in Bree.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
Hello, Rea, Hello, Okay.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
So a report on Monday suggested that the Browns may
give to Shawn Watson one more season to prove his worth. Ben,
it's been in disasters so far. So are you buying
that Cleveland will give it one more try?
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Yes? Because what other options he's going to be on
the payroll. There's a giant chunk of guaranteed money on
Deshaun Watson's contract. He's not going away, right, I mean,
he's going to be there. He's going to be the
highest pid quarterback on the team, and so they don't
have any other option. He can't play. The guy stinks,
(19:30):
he's the creepy quarterback and all that, and they cannot
get out of the contract until twenty twenty six. So
he's going to be there in twenty twenty five and
twenty twenty six. So yeah, I believe he will be
back as the starter next year and we will be
able to goof on him again next.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
The Raiders fell to two and nine over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
In lot Right ratings.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
The Raiders fell to two and nine over the weekend
and lost Gardner Minshew for the season. Ben, when you
think the chances aren't that the Raiders end up bushe
Der Sanders or cam Orr, well.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
They're very good. The Raiders suck, and when you suck,
you end up with a topic. Right now, the Raiders
would have the third pick in the draft. Jackson would
be going number one, the Giants will be going number two,
and the Raiders, if they're in the top three. It's
more likely than not they'll either be able to draft
one of those guys or trade trade off a couple
of picks to get one of them. And from the
sound of it, Shooter Sanders and Dion Sanders are conspiring
(20:24):
for reasons beyond my understanding, to try to play for
the Raiders. I guess it's a Vegas thing. So it
is absolutely a possibility, all right.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Next, Okay, So the Milwaukee Bucks have won five in
a row and seven of their last eight to get
back to five hundred.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Ben report to the Bucks. Demise premature.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
No, you know who their coach is? Doc Rivers? Okay, Doc,
well they make the playoff. Sure, they're in the Eastern Conference.
Just by having a pulse. You make the playoffs if
you're trying in the Eastern Conference. And I love dam Lillard,
big fan Giannis. But Doc Rivers, Okay, this guy screwed
(21:02):
up Lob City. He will f up the Bucks. No
chance they're done. How did we do?
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Happy Thanksgiving?
Speaker 3 (21:11):
You pass?
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Oh, you'll be allowed to fill it again, Drew, You'll
be allowed. I passed. That's a winner. I won. Bill
Miller here, we're writing dirty, so so dirty. Oh my god,
we need showers. Very dirty podcast. The podcast. I can't
(21:35):
think of a better way to spend Thanksgiving than with
earphones on, ignoring your family and friends and just listening
to the podcast. It is available shortly after we get done.
If there are any problems with the podcast, Ben tells me,
(21:55):
you can blame Brie. It's her fault and it'll be
in the order. It'll be perfect, it'll be amazing, it'll
be the most wonderful podcast you've ever heard. But right now,
let's get to Oh. It says you're ask Ben. Oh,
all right, all right, well, here we go. It's now
time for time for ask bad. Twitter said this is
(22:20):
your questions on Twitter now, and away we go and
is asked, Ben, your questions are answers for the rest
of the hour, and we go over to Rihanna who
is in the coop chair, and she has the reading
of the questions as sent in on social media.
Speaker 5 (22:39):
This is my favorite segment, Ben. I was actually thinking
about it on the way in tonight. I was like,
I'm so excited for ask Ben.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
You are easily impressed.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
People ask the best questions.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Some some do they all do a lot of them
are terrible, But that's fine. You but you have to
edit through them and you have to decide which is
which is good and which is bad. So what do
we have? Rady?
Speaker 4 (23:01):
This is from the grill sergeant for the crew white
meat or dark meat.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
That sounds like a.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
Yes, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Yeah, well you know I usually I get it now
the white meat there normally, but.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Lorena dark meat baby all day long?
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Look at you breathe.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
Yeah, I'm a white meat girl.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
All right, there you go?
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Do you guys smother it in gravy though, like you should?
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Yeah? Are you really into the food here? The gravy, Yeah,
turkey gravy I love.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
I usually just mix it up with the giblets.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Oh god stuff. Yeah, all right, come back, what is next?
Speaker 4 (23:44):
What are you okay? And so this is from Alf
the Alien opiner.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Elf. I know Alf's a big fan of show. Alf.
He's always I fill in sometimes at local stations. Alf
always listens I have filled in there. Yeah, yes, for
Rogan Road Winter for ye would it be rude?
Speaker 4 (24:04):
So he's asking what it be?
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Route install a TV in the dining room so not
to miss any football today?
Speaker 1 (24:09):
No, you should already. That's a rookie mistake out you
should already have a TV in the dining room. Bad
job by you come out here. You're around my age.
Al these are things that have to be done. You
reach a certain point, you don't talk to your loved ones.
You just watch TV anyway, That's why TV was invented.
But yeah, yeah, I mean you just have it on
and you can say, hey, I'm on the Mallor payroll
(24:30):
and I need to watch the I need to watch
the NFL for work because I'm a paid contributor to
the Mallor show. And I'm sure that your your children
and your your family there, your wife, they'll be fully
supportive of that. Absolutely. But you agree, right, Bri, You
you should be able to have the TV there in
the dining room. Right.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
I actually have three TV, three TVs in my dining room.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
You have more. You have more. That's a humble brag.
And I have more than me, that is fine. Crazy.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Yeah, it's two thirty two inches on one wall, and
then I have a fifty five.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Well now you're bragging about the size. Well, I understand
I don't have a big TV. What about you, Lorena.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
I don't think it needs to be in the dining room,
but at least visible from the dining room, because it
should still be family focused when you're actually sitting and
eating at the Thanksgiving table, but while while people are cooking,
feel free to sit in the surrounding areas and watch
the game in converse with people.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
You know. Yeah, that's a that's a bad take. What
is next year? What do we have here? It's ask
being Your questions are answers for the rest of the hour.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
Okay, so this is from ferg Dog. What product do
you use in your hair?
Speaker 1 (25:38):
What product do I use my hair? I trim all
my hair away. I don't use so any product. What

Oh that's a humble brag. Man, you're just very low
maintenance apparently. Okay, I wash my hair room. Wow, so
at least that.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Yeah, I use some leaving conditioner, a little heat protectant.
I also use like a extra texturizing spray, and then
I'll finish off with some hair spray.

So our lead this hour in our three is from
Jerry's World. In the middle game of today's Turkey Day
triple header. Whoooo the Cowboys, How about them Cowboys? They're
going to play host to the Higantes, the football version
of the Higantes that is in the again the middle game. Now,
this is not a highly anticipated matchup. This is not
(02:29):
a must see matchup. It's just not. It will get
a good rating because people do not want to spend
time with their relatives, and we'll watch the game. It
will be on at many a Thanksgiving feast, but it's
not a game that you're all jones up to watch.
Cooper Rush will be under center. Dakota Prescott will be
(02:49):
watching from the booth upstairs. Now. Speaking of that, former
Cowboy coach Jimmy Johnson had a lot to say about
the damaged quarterback. If you did not hear, perhaps perhaps now.
So Jimmy Johnson appeared on Fox Sports Radio with the
guy that's on when I'm sleeping, Colin Cowherd. He's my
(03:10):
overnight guy. And so Jimmy Johnson was on with Colin
Cowherd and said that he would have never ever given
Dak Prescott a new contract before the season, instead having
Dak Prescott play out the season. Now, Jimmy Johnson also
went on to say that Dak Prescott, being the highest
(03:31):
paid player in the league, he's not the best player
in the league. He went on to groan about how
financially strapped the woebegone Cowboys are now because of this
move and said that a coaching change really wouldn't matter
because of that. He implied all of the salary cap problems.
So let us discuss the question. Jimmy Johnson on the
(03:55):
radio ripping Jerry Jones for paying Dak Prescott. Is that
fair or foul? So I've got Old Country ticketed and cosplay,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make some pecan pie, which is
(04:19):
an underrated pie. The pecan pie. In fact, on my
big board, pecan pie ahead of pumpkin pie. That's a shock.
That's a shock, Jock take. I know, I like the
pecan pie. All right. Now, First of all, this is
it's fair. It's not foul. It's fair, it's wise. It
passes the smell test. Jerry Jones royally screwed up. I
(04:43):
remember talking about this story during the off season. We're
getting choked up now talking about it, but I remember
talking about it during the off season, and I remember
praising if you remember we talked about we were praising
Jerry Jones for not bending over and signing Dak Prescott,
for we're hiding out, being on the down low. And
they waited till the eleventh hour to sign Dak Prescott.
(05:05):
And at the very end, Jerry Jones did the thing
you can't do at the time, you can't do it,
and he let Fomo rule the day. The fear of
missing out, and as Jimmy Johnson laid out here that
if the Cowboys had gone on this year to win
the Super Bowl, Dak Prescott's not going to leave the Cowboys.
He would be able to get the contract he got,
(05:27):
probably even more money, and if he got hurt, which
ended up happening, he would get less money. If he
played well but the Cowboys didn't win, then it's at
the discretion of the Cowboys to negotiate a contract. But
if he didn't win in the playoffs, you're not really
hurt that much if he leaves. But Jerry got a
little temporary dopamine hit and now he's stuck with a
(05:49):
diminishing asset in Dak Prescott for years to come. And
Jimmy Johnson is from the old country. You kids call
him a boomer. He's got this outlook that is antiquated
by the modern NFL. Imagine a world it's gonna blow
you away. Imagine a world where players actually had to
earn the money. They were not paid on what they
(06:11):
might do. They were paid on what they have done
and then what they can continue to do. And there
was a world that existed like that. It's a bygone era.
It's from a very far away time called the nineties
and the early two thousands. But now you get stiffs
like Trevor Lawrence, Alligator Arms, Murray Dak Prescott, among others
(06:37):
who were paid essentially on a wish and a prayer.
It's a lot of wishful thinking, a lot of wishful thinking,
and you're just hoping, You're just hoping everything kind of
comes together and just give them a big pile of money,
because we all know people when they get a lot
of money, they continue to work as hard. All right. Now.
Secondly to the d MV, we go not that DMV
(06:59):
the other, but over recent weeks, there has been a
lot of chatter about the Washington football team. They go
by the nickname the Commanders. It's a dopey name. They
used to be called the Redskins, and a senator from Montana,
senator named Steve Danes is the name, and he spoke
(07:21):
publicly about the possibility this week of the old name return.
You might have seen it. It's made the rounds around
social media. The honorable center from senator from Montana claims
that negotiations surrounding the logo and nickname have gone quite well.
(07:42):
He had a rant and the senator from Montana said
censorship of the former commander's logo was a case of
woke gone wrong. I don't know that many would argue
with that. Yeah. He then said, I applaud the commanders
in the NFL for their commitment to ever censor the
logo again and for working with the family to restore
(08:06):
I guess he's the families in Montana to restore the
logo and the nickname into a place of prominence and
honor to benefit the Indian community Indian country. He stated,
all right, so there is noise that the NFL. There's
a couple of a couple of rumors bounce around in
the echo chamber. One is the NFL will just allow
(08:28):
the merchandise to be sold and they're not going to
put up a fight or anything like that. They're not
going to hide it. Another is that the Redskins nickname
will come back. That now that Trump's president, you're allowed
to have the Redskins nickname and the logo will return.
So the NFL allowing the Redskins' logo and nickname as
(08:54):
it was to return to the league, believe it or not.
So I'm gonna go first. I am not a believer.
I am agnostic on this. Now. To me, seeing is believing,
And if I see it fine, And I understand the
political climate has changed and things got really really crazy
for a couple of years. We all lived through it.
(09:15):
Things got a little wonky, a little bit wonky. And
so now we're going back to the Trump and all that.
It's not a political show. But within being re elected.
To me, it doesn't change things too much. Here's why.
Because the NFL, they don't they can still be ticketed
(09:36):
by the Woke police. So they don't want to get
that ticket. They want to avoid being ticketed by the
Wolk police. And as we understand it, and I've talked
about this with you in the past, I love this
information that was given to me that for several years
the Washington commanders have had think tanks among market research,
(09:57):
among their season ticket holder and just fans in general
in the market in the DMV right in the district
of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia where the fan base is,
and they've asked the customers, listen, this is a temporary name, commanders,
we're going to change the name. What name would you like?
And the overwhelming majority that have responded have said, we
(10:22):
like the Redskins nickname. We would like that as the Moniker.
We want that back. We want that as the name
of the team. That's the people's choice, the Redskins name,
and they've kept it on the down low. It hasn't
gotten too much attention. But it makes sense, right because
a lot of the people they're asking, people that can
afford season tickets, are older. They grew up with the
Redskins name. That's what they know. It's part of their childhood,
(10:45):
it's part of their life as a sports fan. So
it makes sense that they would want that back. But
the NFL to this point has rejected the thought of
bringing back the Redskins nickname. They're worried about being attacked
by the Snowflakes and they don't want that, so they're
they're on guard. Now will that change? It'll change a
(11:08):
little bit. But I'll believe it when I see it.
I'll believe it when I see it. And I used
to take calls. I took a few of them from
people that lived on reservations that loved the name, and
this story. I do the story once once a year
or twice a year would come up. You know they're
(11:28):
gonna get rid of the Redskins name or they Cleveland
Indians name, and I remember getting phone calls from people
that are in that world, that live in that world
on reservations and they're like, oh yeah, people love it
here wherein they wear the logo is it's a thing
of pride, and you know certain certain people say no,
it's not. And then I gotta get rid of it.
Now we move on final thought to the Bay Area
(11:51):
we go, and after that blowout loss at lambeau Field
forty nine or Star Wide receiver Deebo Samuel did not
speak to the media. Boo hoo hoo, no media for me. Well,
I didn't even say that. He just scar daddled out
of the locker room. Now a lot of people found
(12:11):
that puzzling. But now Deebo is giving the rest of
the story, as the late great Paul Harvey would say,
you know the news and now the rest of the story.
So Deebo Samuel swears that he was not approached by
a single member of the media after he got dressed,
and therefore he was allowed to leave the locker room
(12:35):
per NFL guidelines. Now, Deebo Samuel the very public claim
that listen, I did not bail on the forty nine
er media. Those reports are not true. They're simply not true.
Where do you stand on this one? Well, I'm actually sitting.
(12:56):
I'm not standing, but I believe this is what's known
as cosplay. That Deebo Samuel was acting like Hussein Bolt
and sprinted out of the locker room. The flag is
up and off to the races. That Deebo changed as
fast as he could possibly change and ran out of
(13:18):
the locker room. No accountability. Deebo Samuel had the most
disappointing performance, the worst game of his NFL career at
lambeau Field. If you saw the game, you know exactly
what I'm talking about. Now. Deebo caught just one pass
for twenty one yards, but he had two critical booboos,
(13:46):
one of them that led to a deflected interception on
a Brandon Allen pass, and according to the nerds at
Pro Football Focus, Deebo Samuel had the worst ever offensive
grade in his NFL career and dollars to donuts. Just
(14:07):
between me and you, let's imagine that the Niners win
that game, and they won that game on a Brandon
Allen touchdown pass in the back of the end zone
to Deebo Samuel. Do you think that Deebo Samuel would
have talked to the media. Do you think he would
have made sure he waited around for the media to
ask him questions or do you think he would have
(14:29):
run away and said, well, I'm done, I don't need
to do this anymore. I've moved on all right. Time
now for the Malor Riddle of the Day. Now you
can call up. There is a line open. I don't
know why you'd be listening. It's Thanksgiving, but if you
are and and you're lonely and you want to call in,
we're here for you. For some reason. We're doing it
(14:50):
live eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. That's eight
seven seven nine nine six sixty three sixty nine. Also
on x at Bean Mallor and that is where you
can answer the Mallor Riddle of the Day. And here
is the Mallor Riddle of the Day. We'll do a
(15:11):
crossover story. Here's the Mallor Riddle of the day. Taylor
Swift recently made some victory blank for Chiefs players. Now
obviously not this week because they lost to Buffalo, but
Taylor Swift made some victory blank for Chiefs players. And
(15:31):
that is the Mallor Riddle of the day, and of
course they beat Carolina this week. I'm talking about the
after the Buffalo game. This is this past week. So again,
mallor riddle of the day, Taylor Swift made some victory
blank for Chiefs players, and that is the riddle of
the day. The answer, We'll get to it. We'll take
(15:52):
your calls and we will do it all and we
will do it. Next it is I Bill Miller forced
to work on Thanksgiving against my wishes. We'll get back
to Oh no, hell, Bill Miller, Bird Brain, Benny in
a moment. This is the part of the program that
I beg you to promote the Pirate Ship. There is
(16:14):
no budget on this show for advertising, as you might
tell by listening, so we need you to spread the gospel.
To go out and contact people, friends, enemies. Let them
know about the show. Tell them off the podcast they
work the dreaded day Shift. Let them know they can
download the podcast and help the show continue for years
(16:39):
and years to come. I'm with you. We never go away.
It's how depressed would you be if we went away?
Oh my god, you'd be so depressed until somebody else
was here and then you'd love them. Well, let's get
back to the show all right. Time out for the
thank you you just said my name again, Bill, that's
a bad job by your timing out for the Insta trivia,
(16:59):
and it is. Caleb Williams has been sacked forty four
times through eleven games. That's the most by any quarterback
this year. But since two thousand, only David Carr in
that infamous twenty oh five season and Blank had had
forty four sacks in eleven games with the lower yards
per attempt average than Caleb Williams in Chicago this season.
(17:24):
And you got to fill in the blank on the
Insta Tribua. Let's see, does anyone know the answer? Steve
the misplaced San Diegan says fran Tarkington is the answer.
Who else do we have? Page down? Can't read that,
Mo Vaughn guessed by Nick that's a good answer. Whoopee
pie Blair bitch from a milkman Mike, I didn't know
(17:46):
that was his new name. Grizzly Adams from mister nice guy.
Who else do we have? King Eddie Montana from not
a Burner, Ty detmertuss dot by the King Roy Fats
from Philadelphia as it's helmet man is the answer. Let's
gonna know Fats is up with in Philly listening. That's
one of the iconic Phillies fan, an Eagles fan Fats
(18:08):
in Philadelphia. Joe Turkey Jones from Ike and Roseville, Minnesota,
Tim Ratta from Dante. Who else do we have? Page
down blind? Scott guests by not a Burner, the Great
Martin Weiss going with Ryan Fitzpatrick. All right, do you
have an answer quickly though? Ray?
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Now? Yeah, you think it's bratty Quinn.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Oh, I've heard of him, he does some morning show. No,
that is unfortunately correct. The correct answer is Carson Wentz
Eagles his last year in Philadelphia. Carson Wentz. It's Mallard.
How about that? To the third degree, this is one
big gets grilled. I'm ready and I better win. If
(18:49):
I don't win, heads are gonna roll. We bring in Bree.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
Hello, Rea, Hello, Okay.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
So a report on Monday suggested that the Browns may
give to Shawn Watson one more season to prove his worth. Ben,
it's been in disasters so far. So are you buying
that Cleveland will give it one more try?
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Yes? Because what other options he's going to be on
the payroll. There's a giant chunk of guaranteed money on
Deshaun Watson's contract. He's not going away, right, I mean,
he's going to be there. He's going to be the
highest pid quarterback on the team, and so they don't
have any other option. He can't play. The guy stinks,
(19:30):
he's the creepy quarterback and all that, and they cannot
get out of the contract until twenty twenty six. So
he's going to be there in twenty twenty five and
twenty twenty six. So yeah, I believe he will be
back as the starter next year and we will be
able to goof on him again next.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
The Raiders fell to two and nine over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
In lot Right ratings.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
The Raiders fell to two and nine over the weekend
and lost Gardner Minshew for the season. Ben, when you
think the chances aren't that the Raiders end up bushe
Der Sanders or cam Orr, well.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
They're very good. The Raiders suck, and when you suck,
you end up with a topic. Right now, the Raiders
would have the third pick in the draft. Jackson would
be going number one, the Giants will be going number two,
and the Raiders, if they're in the top three. It's
more likely than not they'll either be able to draft
one of those guys or trade trade off a couple
of picks to get one of them. And from the
sound of it, Shooter Sanders and Dion Sanders are conspiring
(20:24):
for reasons beyond my understanding, to try to play for
the Raiders. I guess it's a Vegas thing. So it
is absolutely a possibility, all right.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Next, Okay, So the Milwaukee Bucks have won five in
a row and seven of their last eight to get
back to five hundred.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Ben report to the Bucks. Demise premature.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
No, you know who their coach is? Doc Rivers? Okay, Doc,
well they make the playoff. Sure, they're in the Eastern Conference.
Just by having a pulse. You make the playoffs if
you're trying in the Eastern Conference. And I love dam Lillard,
big fan Giannis. But Doc Rivers, Okay, this guy screwed
(21:02):
up Lob City. He will f up the Bucks. No
chance they're done. How did we do?
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Happy Thanksgiving?
Speaker 3 (21:11):
You pass?
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Oh, you'll be allowed to fill it again, Drew, You'll
be allowed. I passed. That's a winner. I won. Bill
Miller here, we're writing dirty, so so dirty. Oh my god,
we need showers. Very dirty podcast. The podcast. I can't
(21:35):
think of a better way to spend Thanksgiving than with
earphones on, ignoring your family and friends and just listening
to the podcast. It is available shortly after we get done.
If there are any problems with the podcast, Ben tells me,
(21:55):
you can blame Brie. It's her fault and it'll be
in the order. It'll be perfect, it'll be amazing, it'll
be the most wonderful podcast you've ever heard. But right now,
let's get to Oh. It says you're ask Ben. Oh,
all right, all right, well, here we go. It's now
time for time for ask bad. Twitter said this is
(22:20):
your questions on Twitter now, and away we go and
is asked, Ben, your questions are answers for the rest
of the hour, and we go over to Rihanna who
is in the coop chair, and she has the reading
of the questions as sent in on social media.
Speaker 5 (22:39):
This is my favorite segment, Ben. I was actually thinking
about it on the way in tonight. I was like,
I'm so excited for ask Ben.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
You are easily impressed.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
People ask the best questions.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Some some do they all do a lot of them
are terrible, But that's fine. You but you have to
edit through them and you have to decide which is
which is good and which is bad. So what do
we have? Rady?
Speaker 4 (23:01):
This is from the grill sergeant for the crew white
meat or dark meat.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
That sounds like a.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
Yes, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Yeah, well you know I usually I get it now
the white meat there normally, but.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Lorena dark meat baby all day long?
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Look at you breathe.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
Yeah, I'm a white meat girl.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
All right, there you go?
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Do you guys smother it in gravy though, like you should?
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Yeah? Are you really into the food here? The gravy, Yeah,
turkey gravy I love.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
I usually just mix it up with the giblets.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Oh god stuff. Yeah, all right, come back, what is next?
Speaker 4 (23:44):
What are you okay? And so this is from Alf
the Alien opiner.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Elf. I know Alf's a big fan of show. Alf.
He's always I fill in sometimes at local stations. Alf
always listens I have filled in there. Yeah, yes, for
Rogan Road Winter for ye would it be rude?
Speaker 4 (24:04):
So he's asking what it be?
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Route install a TV in the dining room so not
to miss any football today?
Speaker 1 (24:09):
No, you should already. That's a rookie mistake out you
should already have a TV in the dining room. Bad
job by you come out here. You're around my age.
Al these are things that have to be done. You
reach a certain point, you don't talk to your loved ones.
You just watch TV anyway, That's why TV was invented.
But yeah, yeah, I mean you just have it on
and you can say, hey, I'm on the Mallor payroll
(24:30):
and I need to watch the I need to watch
the NFL for work because I'm a paid contributor to
the Mallor show. And I'm sure that your your children
and your your family there, your wife, they'll be fully
supportive of that. Absolutely. But you agree, right, Bri, You
you should be able to have the TV there in
the dining room. Right.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
I actually have three TV, three TVs in my dining room.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
You have more. You have more. That's a humble brag.
And I have more than me, that is fine. Crazy.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Yeah, it's two thirty two inches on one wall, and
then I have a fifty five.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Well now you're bragging about the size. Well, I understand
I don't have a big TV. What about you, Lorena.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
I don't think it needs to be in the dining room,
but at least visible from the dining room, because it
should still be family focused when you're actually sitting and
eating at the Thanksgiving table, but while while people are cooking,
feel free to sit in the surrounding areas and watch
the game in converse with people.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
You know. Yeah, that's a that's a bad take. What
is next year? What do we have here? It's ask
being Your questions are answers for the rest of the hour.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
Okay, so this is from ferg Dog. What product do
you use in your hair?

What product do I use my hair? I trim all
my hair away. I don't use so any product. What

maintenance apparently. Okay, I wash my hair room. Wow, so

Yeah, I use some leaving conditioner, a little heat protectant.
I also use like a extra texturizing spray, and then
