Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number too. We had the
Land of Deep Dish Pizza home of one of my
cousins who lives in Chicago, Caleb Williams. He's a quarterback
and he says the coaching change in the Windy City
is a stepping stone for his career. How does that

(00:20):
sound to you? And Matt LeFleur, that's a head coach
in Green Bay, says the Packers will not gain any
advantage versus the Lions. This after Jamir Gibbs leaked all
of the Detroit Lions play calls for running backs. Is
that a yes, no? Or maybe so? We'll discuss that.
And former Giant star Eli Manning says he did something

(00:41):
this week he had never done before. He rode a
New York City subway for the first time ever. Do
you believe it or not? We'll get to that as well.
It's all come your way right now here. It is
our number two. All about the Stone. It's all about
the Stone. Welcome. In the beginning of another hour of

(01:02):
the Ben Maler Show. We are in the air everywhares
we babble on as your talk tonic coast to coast, border,

(01:49):
The way tire buying shoes be so our lead. This
hour is from the Continued to Fallout in hick Cock
Ghosts Home, Chicago. The Bears played the Niners this weekend.
They will have a new head coach, someone named Thomas Brown.
What can Brown do for you? Thomas Brown? Will you
be your head coach? He was promoted from the role.

(02:13):
Originally he got promoted offensive cornat they fired Shane Waldron,
so he took overs the offensive coordinator a couple of
weeks ago, and then the Bears got rid of their
head coach and so for the final five games, Thomas
Brown will be the interim temp coach. The temp coach
there now speaking for the first time since the Bears
decided to pull axe Matt Eberflus among the six game

(02:36):
losing streak, the Thanksgiving nightmare there where you had a
time out, you left the field with the timeout, you
were in range for a field goal, and the clock
ran away from you. So quarterback Caleb Williams has chimed
in on this and he is determined he is going
to be mister positive, mister positive stuff. You didn't hear

(03:00):
what he said, perhaps not the editing department here at
Fox Sports Rado deemed it not important enough to get
the audio. So I'll tell you what he said. Cayla
Williams says he's going to roll with the punches, is
what he said. And while he's not happy with what's
been going on with the coaching change, he said it
will be good in the long run. The actual quote
was quote I think Cala Williams said, I think it's

(03:23):
a stepping stone of development to be able to have
all of this in my first year, all of it
close quote. So that is the money, quote Caleb Williams.
It's a stepping stone. It's an absolute stepping stone. Yeah. Well,
Trevor Lawrence must be next level, right, he has had

(03:43):
many of those stepping stones, all right, So let us
discuss the question. Caleb Williams just laid it all out.
He's trying to put on a happy face, put on
a happy face about the coaching change in Chicago. Says
it is a stepping stone for his career. How does
that sound to you? So I've got County Fair homework

(04:05):
and Lucky Star and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to make a Deli
style pastrami sandwich, which sounds just amazing. Doesn't that sound good?
Deli style pastrami sandwich? Man? All right, son burh. Caleb

(04:25):
Williams is trying to turn chicken poop into chicken salad,
is what he's trying to do here. This is a
hot mess. The Bears have gone to a place they
have never ever visited, which makes this season of Chicago
Bears football the very first of Caleb Williams historical historical

(04:47):
in just about every way, a historical fall from grace.
The claim to fame for the Bears was that, no
matter how bad it got, they were always loyal. They
were always loyal. They didn't make any rational decisions during
the season. But here's Caleb Williams, despite that backdrop, working
at the County Fair Caleb Williams. He's in front of

(05:10):
the cotton candy machine and he's spinning sugar, is what
he's doing here. This is uncharted water out in Lake
Michigan for the Bears. Matt Iberflus the first coach in
the history of the Chicago Bears to be fired during
the season. The franchise has been around for one hundred
and five years. They had never done it. And I

(05:32):
promise you, just in my lifetime on this planet, the
Bears have had some really bad coaches, some real stiffs,
and they never fired him during the season. They didn't.
They let him play out the year, but not Matt Eberfless. Now,
it is fair to say that Caleb williams progression and
development were the driving force behind this decision. And while

(05:53):
the final blow was the loss to the Lions in
the game that should have could have would have continued
at the very least and likely was in the bag
for the team from Chicago. That aside. Listen the lack
of football IQ that kid Williams appears to have. Because
as much as Matt Eberflew screwed up, Williams, if he

(06:14):
had half a brain, would have realized I got a
hurry up. He's so slow, he takes so long, he
takes such time, and it just destroys you in situations
like that. And there's some serious blind spots in his game.
And Williams is he's still on the launching pat. He said,
the stepping stone. It's a launching pad. However, as we

(06:37):
know from rockets launching, from missiles launching, a lot of
those missiles never reached the atmosphere. They're duds. They fall
back into the ocean. And that's that. It just doesn't
work out a lot of duds, all right. Now, page two,
we pivot. We stay in the NFC North, but we
pivot now to the frozen tundra where the Green Bay

(06:58):
Packers are getting ready for a playdate in Michigan with
the Lions of Blood rivalry which has been renewed in
recent years because the Lions no longer blow. But Matt
LeFleur has chimed in the head coach of the Packers
regarding the big story of the week here and says
the Packers will not gain an advantage. He said, those

(07:19):
are his words, will not gain an advantage against Detroit.
This after running back Jamir Gibbs leaked all of the
Lions play calls for the running backs, all the verbiage
was leaked on a social media post. So I ask
you the esteem panel, Matt eberfuh says, no advantage gained

(07:41):
by the Packers despite having access to all of the
Detroit Lions information. Is that a yes no or maybe
so yes no or maybe so so? I will answer this.
It is a throw of the dice, which is a
maybe so docy doe. It's a throw that because Matt
Lafleur is while he's publicly downplaying this situation right, he's

(08:04):
downplaying nothing to see here. We know the deal, right,
The Lions are a better team than the Packers, and
they should win the game. And we talked about this
in a previous episode of the show. If the play calls,
I will amend my position by saying if the play
calls didn't matter at all, if they didn't matter, then
NFL teams would not be so paranoid about hiding that information.

(08:29):
But ultimately, this is in the head coach of the Lion,
Dan Campbell, heay coach of the Lions. Dan Campbell's in
his court, right, It's up to him how the team
handles this. Are they willing to do their homework? Do
they put their homework in? It is a nuisance, is
what it is. It's a nuisance. It's a headache having
to adjust the verbiage on the fly. You're not going

(08:51):
to change everything. You just have to change a few
things here and there. And if you get lazy, if
the Lions do not put the work in and they
think they can just show up and they don't have
to do it, they cut corners, the Packers will be
licking their chops. They're gonna have all kinds of knowledge
on what exactly the Lions are going to do, assuming
the players on the Packers they also do their job
and pay attention, and that would torpedo Jared Goff, absolute

(09:17):
torpedo right to the ankles, in the knees of Jared Goff.
So it should be a humdinger, humdinger of a game
unlike your normal late season Thursday NFL. Because of the
Thanksgiving schedule last week, the Packers played the Dolphins late
and the Lions played the early game, and so both
teams played last Thursday, so they're on full rest for

(09:40):
this game. The Lions, with little margin for error to
stay ahead of the Philadelphia football team, which is breathing
down their neck. All right, final point, We now go
outside the realm of normal to a man that we
nickname rightfully, so the Punk, a very average NFL quarterback who,

(10:00):
because of a couple of fluke things, people want in
the Hall of Fame. Former Giant Eli Manning. Elijah Manning.
Now he revealed randomly, Elijah Manning revealing this week that
he rode a New York City subway for the first
time in his life. He had never been on the

(10:24):
subway system in New York. Believe it or not. Believe
it or not, So I believe it's possible, right, I'm
confused as to At no point he didn't have to
ever shoot a commercial where they film it in a
subway station somewhere in Manhattan. That that part seems allowed

(10:45):
to me. But to never ride the subway? Is it possible? Sure? Now?
Why is it possible? Because Eli Manning was born under
a lucky star. He was born under a lucky star.
He was born on third base. He was the first
family of football, the man family. If you do the
calculus on this, Manning, Eli played sixteen years for the Giants,

(11:08):
sixteen years in the New York metropolitan area. He has
remained in that area since he stopped playing. And why
wouldn't you Everyone kisses your ass and says how great
you are and thank you, thank you, thank you. Of
course you'd stay there. What are you gonna move? Where
you're gonna go like North Dakota. No, you're gonna stay there.
So many played sixteen years there. And when he played
for the Giants, he lived in Jersey. The Giants practiced

(11:31):
in Jersey. Everything was nearby, everything was nearby. And now,
as I understand it, he lives out in the Hampton's
in a beach house and out there on Long Island,
and so he can if he wants to go into
the city, he can use a car service. So they
have a helicopter if he wants to dodge the traffic,

(11:52):
and he doesn't have to worry about it. So typically,
very wealthy people, people that are successful, people that come
from a lot of aristocrat status, they they do not
use subway. Subways are for the commoners, for the unwashed,
for the hoy PELOI. Those are those are what public
transportations for, not a not a person like Eli Manning.

(12:13):
Come on, What are you talking about? All right? Is
the Ben Mahler's Show. If you would like to talk
about any of this, or anything else for that matter,
you are more than welcome. It is an interactive show.

Big episode of Benny Versus the Penny will be coming
up later, working on that when I get done with
this radio program. So a wild story bouncing around that.

(12:56):
If you listen between the words, it sounds like the
NFL is okay with its players using fentanyl. Let me
repeat that. It sounds to me, based on what I
have read, that the NFL is embracing their players using fentanyl. Yeah,

Speaker 1 (23:09):
Sure? Why not?

Speaker 6 (23:11):
Okay? First complaint is uh, earlier you mentioned Bay City
Tony being a Bears fan and Curson and whatnot. You

Oh that's not you.

Speaker 6 (23:25):
I'm Bear Tony in the Bay Area.

named Tony?

Speaker 6 (23:33):
Yeah, Bay City Tony. I don't know where he's from.
I thought he was from Tampa Bay, but I don't know.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
I thought that was you. You're not on x No,
you're not. You sure about that?

Speaker 5 (23:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (23:46):
I can't be on there?

Speaker 1 (23:49):
Why can't you be on there?

Speaker 6 (23:50):
What happened just better for everybody. But so, do I
get a golden ticket for James for that one?

Speaker 1 (23:57):
No?

Speaker 6 (23:58):
Okay? So I was listening to a twenty seventeen podcasts
and you mentioned I think his name was Matt Barnes,
he was going to the Warriors, and you said, oh, well,
he's a crazy guy who punches people in the face.
So I went and looked him up, and I saw
a bunch of YouTube videos and he didn't punch anybody

(24:19):
in the face, So.

Speaker 5 (24:19):
What the hell?

Speaker 1 (24:21):
Yeah, well it's a seven year old take. And if
you know the story of Matt Barnes, he look up
Derek Fisher and Matt Barnes looked that up. There's no video.

Speaker 6 (24:35):
I don't get a golden ticket for that either, No,
because that's.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
A bad take. Matt Barnes punched Derek Fisher in the mouth.
They were fighting over some woman or something like. It
happened years ago.

Speaker 6 (24:46):
Was the was it on the court?

Speaker 5 (24:49):
No?

Speaker 1 (24:50):
Where it was it happened.

Speaker 8 (24:51):
They were Derek Fisher was was doing Matt Barnes's ex wife,
and Matt Barnes like drove over to the house that
he used to live in that Derek Fisher was at
and they got in a fight and that.

Speaker 3 (25:05):
Was the sounds exciting.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
Yeah. Always it's always women in drugs and money. It's
all Without women drugs and money, men would not get
in any trouble.

Speaker 6 (25:15):
Yeah, well that's warranted though. You made it seem like
he's just out on the court.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
Warranted, warranted, I don't was warranted. Who knows they were?
They weren't together anymore, right right, yeah they were. They
were broken up. You broke it up, your.

Speaker 6 (25:29):
Fair game, okay. And the other day you said that
it was my opinion that the bear's own uh the
colored blue and orange. But it's it's not my opinion,
it's a fucking fact.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
Okay. There you go. Appreciate you, Tony, not Bay City Tony.
He claims that's not him, that's somebody else. Impersonating him
as Bay City Tony. A lot of reaction to Gunner
and hollering James being on the air at the same time,
and people have some very strong opinions at that. One

(26:00):
of my radio friends points out, those are two of
the worst simultaneous phone calls I've ever heard. Both callers
had their radio up. It was fantastic, so bad it's good.
Ferg Dog writes and says, Gunner and hollering James at
the same time. Sign me up for that every night? Yeah,
that was that was really magic? Is what that was?

(26:23):
That was magic?

Speaker 5 (26:24):
One?

Speaker 1 (26:26):
Who else do we have page down? Can't read that?
On the air, Christopher says that I don't need melatonin
anymore after those phone calls. I'm good. Who else? Scrooge
said something about pineapple? Slim Tim said he was falling asleep,
and who else do we have? Page down? I can't

(26:48):
read that, Big Greg and Iowa writes and says on
the X machine at Ben Mallley says, what theF is
that hollering James calls usually are entertaining? This makes me
want to test out the seismic activity and see if
the local Richter scale goes off. Says Big Greg in iowall,
let's go to salsa. Who's up next? Hello, Salsa is

(27:09):
in Dallas. I believe he's home. He's in Dallas. He
might be working. Hello Salsa, No work yet, they're.

Speaker 5 (27:16):
No work yet. The first time I've been on hole
and her, the call get dropped. So herd F bomb. Uh.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
If you stay on hold long enough, you'll hear a
lot of bad words. If you stay on hold long enough.

Speaker 5 (27:29):
Okay, I got I want to tell Lorrain is something
that happened to me. I want to get her opinion.
So this lady that I was dating, I might talk
to you before. One night I was I was in
Chicago for work. She came to my house when I
wasn't here, and then she called me and said, hey,
where are you? I said, I'm in Chicago. So she's

(27:50):
looking around in my house and she found her night
down in the dirty close back. What would you think, Lelanda,
if you saw that?

Speaker 3 (27:59):
If I found my nightgown in your dirty clothes basket?

Speaker 5 (28:03):
Yes?

Speaker 6 (28:04):
After how long she was here the past weekend?

Speaker 3 (28:09):
Well, I don't know. I don't think I think if
I left it there, I don't know if I think
anything of it.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
What's the big deal? Who cares?

Speaker 4 (28:14):
Like?

Speaker 3 (28:14):
Were you was it a problem?

Speaker 1 (28:16):
Yeah, you weren't wearing it, salts right, so who cares?

Speaker 5 (28:20):
I was not? She thought that I had someone else
wearing it.

Speaker 3 (28:23):
Why would someone else wear her night? That's disgusting.

Speaker 1 (28:28):
I'm sorry, that's a great I gotta tell you those also.
I mean, she clearly thinks you're you got some some game.
She's worried about that, right, she said, she thinks that's
really weird.

Speaker 3 (28:38):
She came to your house when you're not home. She
then went through your house.

Speaker 1 (28:41):
And you found a woman that is the same exact
size as her to wear her clothing, right depend.

Speaker 3 (28:47):
And she's assuming you're cheating on her though all red flags,
I'd be very cautious moving forward.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
Well, that's why it's not with her anymore. That's why she.

Speaker 5 (28:56):
Proceeded to flip out and took all my clothes and
threw them off the hangers all over the floor, took
the sheets, built everything off the bed, just started knocking
stuff down. Fortunately she didn't break anything, she didn't bleach
my clothes or you know, make her complete. And she's
just kind of like a child having a tip of chancer.

Speaker 1 (29:16):
Oh my goodness, she must have had some baggage there something.
What did you do? What did he do? What are
you blaming him? Certain fault? Not his fault. Girls, Sometimes
you hit the up and she might have PTSD from
a past relationship. You don't know, but that's not his fault.

Speaker 5 (29:35):
It was.

Speaker 3 (29:35):
But taking your clothes and throwing them like that sounds
like like you know there was something something.

Speaker 1 (29:43):
Is Adler move it is. It's a fit Tdler move.

Speaker 5 (29:46):
Yeah, she she was just worried and thought I was cheating.
But I couldn't get her to see my point.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
And what are you supposed to do? You're in Chicago, man,
you know you're far away from Dallas. What you're supposed
to do? Man? Come on?

Speaker 5 (30:00):
I love this? So what do you say? The best
foot for?

Speaker 4 (30:05):
All? Right?

Speaker 1 (30:05):
Also, thank you any love questions, We're here for you.
They canceled the love lines, so we'll take love calls.

Speaker 3 (30:11):
Right, keep it spicy salsa.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
Doctor Drew's doing some podcasts or something there. Yeah, uh,
sportscaster church, He says, can we get the those two
bozos you had on to make a podcast? Well? Good news.
Gunner is an influencer now Gunner is planning on becoming
a YouTuber and is going to provide that kind of
content on a regular basis, and he will make more

(30:35):
money than I will. He will pass me by games begin,
and he'll be the new mister Beast, the Gunner. So,
the NFL announced an amendment to their drug policy, the
Joint Agreement in the NFL announced the agreement with the
players union. It involves lowering the punishment for performance enhancing drugs,

(31:03):
allowing players to enjoy more weed, reducing fines. The part
of this which has everyone rolling their eyes to the
back of their head trying to figure out the updated
drug policy, which kicks in tomorrow on Friday, says the NFL.
I'm reading this directly out of the verbiage, says the

(31:25):
NFL can test players for fentanyl if clinically indicated, but
no discipline for a positive fentanyl test other than a
possible fifteen thousand dollars fine, but only if the player
misses a mandatory meeting about fentanyl. So as long as

(31:45):
you're doing kidding me, no, I'm reading that's what it says.
I'm reading it right out of the thing that the
NFL sent out that has all the rules. So as
long as you show up to the meeting, you can
do your fentanyl and knock yourself out there boys have
a fine time. Pretty wacky, right, pretty crazy?

Speaker 3 (32:04):
That is crazy to hear.

Speaker 1 (32:06):
I've always I've never dabbled with the fentanyl, but I've
seen things online. I don't if it's true or not,
Like just a little bit and you're doing it lights out.

Speaker 3 (32:13):
I really had to go more cautious on my drug usage.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
Is that right? Everywhere you're worried that you might get Yeah,
you don't want to ch I had a buddy of mine,
actually his U his son. Unfortny that happened. He was
doing something else and somebody puts some of the fence
where it's cross laced.

Speaker 3 (32:30):
I do keep a car can in my car. I've
said this before. I keep it in my car.

Speaker 1 (32:33):
What else you have in your car? You have weapons?
You have?

Speaker 4 (32:36):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (32:36):
Yeah, I have a fish gutter, fish gutter. I have
a wand wand have a rapid radio rapid ray. Well,
of course you gotta have a rapid radio in case
the power goes out on you love wrappid radios. They're great,
perfect for the Hollis stocking stuffer rapid radio.

Speaker 3 (32:49):
My gosh, you could definitely stuck a stuffing.

Speaker 1 (32:54):
Are you taking some of your pharmaceuticals right now?

Speaker 2 (32:56):
Rada?

Speaker 1 (32:57):
Are you medicating yourself?

Speaker 3 (32:58):
Are you stoffe?

Speaker 1 (33:00):
It's okay, Uh yeah, I gotta read more about it though.
That that is wild to me, Like I don't, I mean,
in what world is that? Like? Okay, I mean there
must be a reason for it, right.

Speaker 3 (33:13):
You know, in other states like Oregon, drugs are becoming
more socially acceptable.

Speaker 1 (33:17):
No, I know that, I understand. But the NFL plays
the entire country. It's got to it's got to play
in Peoria, right, it's got to play also in the
Bible Belt, you know, and that kind of thing.

Speaker 3 (33:26):
There must be a reason in the Bible Belt too, Bens.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
Like my mom, it's not, I think because my mom
was very sick at the end of her life and
they gave her heroin for the pain, because that's what
it's But that's what it's for. Like heroin is for
people that are really sick and they're dying and to
make them feel better. That's what heroin's for. It's not
when you're going out, you know on a Friday night
you do a little heroin or whatever. Wow. Anyway, but

(33:52):
so like the fentanyl thing is that there must be
there must be something I'm missing. It's this, it's the
same type of situation.

Speaker 8 (34:00):
So players are assigned fentanyl, well I mean, I mean,
I just mean as far as like what happened with
your mom, Fentanyl's and opioid.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
So it's a it's a pain reliever. Yeah, but who's okay,
so players, there are players in the NFL that are
being uh prescribed fentanyl. Is that what we're supposed to
take away from that? Yeah?

Speaker 8 (34:16):
I guess okay, But I mean, you know, the the
stuff that you hear about where there's just a little
bit and you die, that's like illegally produced fentanyl, not.

Speaker 1 (34:27):
You know, not the legal Yeah, surprise pharmaceutical grade. That's
the worst business decision if you're a drug dealer.

Speaker 8 (34:33):
Well, that's why a lot of it's kind of bs
like when you hear like, oh, the cartel's like mixing
fentanyl in with.

Speaker 1 (34:41):
This or that. It's for repeat business exactly. Yeah, so
you want repeat business? Yeah, it's anyway, it is the
Ben Maler Show. That's our fentanyl talk. Was that better
or worse than hollering James and Gunner at the same time. Well,
you'll have to decide as the customer. We'll have Mallard
of a third degree. Here here is the Insta trivia.

(35:01):
So this week Jameis Winston. Jameis Winston joined Blank as
the only players in NFL history who have multiple games
in their career with four hundred and fifty plus passing yards,

have an answer? Lorraina.

Speaker 3 (38:04):
All I can think is Travis Kelcey Ben.

Speaker 1 (38:06):
To fine answer, but's completely wrong. My answer is a
man who had never ridden a subway until this week.
Eli mannas the answer to punk Here we go, Here
we go, but here we go.

Speaker 2 (38:24):
This is one Big Ben gets grilled.

Speaker 1 (38:28):
All right cool.

Speaker 8 (38:29):
During the Thanksgiving broadcast, Tom Brady tore into Daniel Jones
for asking to be released from the Giants after they
committed so much to him earlier in the week. Earlier
this week, however, Giants icon Tiki Barber ripped Brady, suggesting
that he lacked information because of the certain restrictions that
he faces as a broadcaster who is also an owner.

Speaker 1 (38:49):
Ben, who are you signing with on this one? Yeah,
so the answer is somewhere in the middle, because, like
it's just laziness by Brady, Like I don't have access
to coaches and things like that. But I am aware
that Daniel Jones was sent home and said I'd rather
just be released than sent home. That information was out there.
It just shows you Tom Brady was lazy, and you
know he didn't put the work in. He would have

(39:11):
found it. It's not that hard. It's not a matter
of having access. I have no access and I know that.

Speaker 8 (39:16):
Next, an unnamed rival executive spoke with reporters this week
and talked about how much Bryce Young has improved from
where he was a couple months ago.

Speaker 1 (39:25):
Yeah, Ben, as Bryce Young finally figuring out how to
be at an NFL quarterback. Well, here's the thing, low expectation.
Bryce Young was in Dante's Inferno. The way he was playing, right,
the guy looked like he should be delivering packages somewhere,
not playing quarterback in the NFL. At least now he
appears like there's hope, there's a light at the end
of the tunnel for Bryce Young, and we'll see this week.

(39:48):
And they got a big game with Philadelphia and they're
massive underdogs, and if he goes out and plays well
against the Eagles, then yeah, I mean, he's not terrible,
but by no means is Bryce Young good at this point.

Speaker 8 (40:01):
Darren Fox is an all NBA point guard for the
Sacramento Kings, but maybe not for long. It's being reported
that Fox turned down a one hundred and sixty five
million dollar extension from the Kings last month, and that
the team can consider moving him before the trade deadline
in a couple months.

Speaker 1 (40:14):
Benny, you buying this? Will you get traded? Well? My
understanding is he wants the super Duper Max, so he's
betting on that if they give him that, he'll stay.
How do we do he passes?

Speaker 5 (40:22):
That is a win.

Speaker 6 (40:23):
I run.

Speaker 1 (40:24):
I'm a winner, Lareda. I won the game. I'm the
all time wins game. I have more wins than anybody.
I'd better stop talking.
