Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number three, our three. We
start out in the press box. We're longtime broadcaster Joe
Buck recently called Jerry Jones the NFL's biggest star, said
he wanted to call every Cowboys game. How do you
react to that? Patrick Mahomes says, winning all these close

(00:22):
games keeps the Chiefs focused. Does that vibe with you?
And wide receiver Davonte Adams says he has no regrets.
He said it again, no regrets about joining the Jets,
even though the Jets are terrible. Are you gonna upvote
or down vote?

Speaker 2 (00:37):
That?

Speaker 1 (00:37):
From Devonte Adams? Will go there and we'll also have
ask Ben coming your way right now here. It is
our number three, saying the quiet part out loud. Welcome
in the beginning of yet another hour of the Ben
Malors Show. As we are hanging out with you in

(00:59):
the air everywhere, as we jabber on providing sonic bliss
coast to coast, border, the border and beyond on the
mast and resoundingly powerful microphones of fsr ammating live from
deep in the Cave, the Bat Cave, same Bat time,

(01:22):
same Bat channel. Every single night we're broadcasting live from
the Tier rack dot com, studios Tyraq dot com, We'll
help you get there and unmatched selection, fast free shipping,
free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers.
John not John and Justin in Cincinnati gave a high

(01:42):
five when they heard that number. Ten thousand, amazing number.
Tiraq dot com the Way Tire Buying Show'd be so
our lead. This hour is from the broadcast booth. We
are heading into Week fourteen kicks off tonight. Good one.
We got a we got a humdinger humdinger game the
Lions and Packers. Me, oh my. But when you look

(02:04):
ahead on the week fourteen card, the week ends on
Monday Night, the Cowboys, how about them Cowboys? The Cowboys
playing the Ben Gals that closes out the Week fourteen
card on Monday Night football. Now, remember this is the
game that would have, could have should have been flexed. However,
Bart Simpson, Homer Simpson, and Krusty the Clown said no,

(02:26):
they said, can't do it. Not gonna happen, and so
the game's being held hostage. The NFL made a deal
They're gonna have a Simpson's Alt broadcast. So if you
smoke a lot of weed, you'll probably enjoy that a lot,
and boy, that'd be very entertaining. So anyway, if you
didn't hear what Joe Buck had to say regarding the game,

(02:46):
now Joe Buck is calling the main broadcast. He will
have the traditional NFL broadcast where he and Troy Aikman
just spit out cliches for three and a half hours.
But the words of Joe Buck fox refugee who left
to go to the Evil four letter in Bristol, Connecticut.
And Joe Buck was asked on Dallas radio this week

(03:09):
about having such a dog food game. Those are my words,
dog food, but a bad match. I'm not an aesthetically
pleasing matchup. Did you hear what he said? Did you
hear the words of Joe Buck? Maybe not so. Joe
Buck said that he lovess calling Dallas Cowboy games, and
he said that he would call Cowboy games every damn

(03:31):
week because they get eyeballs. Buck stated he said this
on the home of the Ben Malers Show in Dallas.
We are booming. I'm one of the great sports talk
radio stations in America, ninety six to seven the Ticket,
and he was on there, Joe Buck, and he said
the Cowboys are. They're a team that gets the most eyeballs,

(03:54):
but they also have the biggest star in the NFL.
You see this, now, who do you think Joe Buck
said was the biggest star in the NFL on the couch?
You think it was a Dak Prescott, b Micah Parsons
or c Cedee Lamb or d none of the above?
All right? The answer that would be d none of

(04:16):
the above. He said that Jerry Jones is the biggest
star in the NFL. So let us discuss the question
for you. I'll go first, longtime NFL broadcaster Joe Buck
calling Jerry Jones the NFL's biggest star. How do you

(04:36):
react to that? So I've got Elevator, Captain Crunch and
Santa Anita. Oh flag us up. All right, so we'll
put all these things together and we'll make sense of
the nonsensical, is what we're going to do. So, first
of all, on one level, I believe in the multiverse.
On one level of the multiverse, Joe Buck is just keeping

(04:59):
it real. He's keeping it real. And there's a saying
we had back home that you got to know which
side of your bread is buttered. And it's very important
Joe Buck knows which side of his bread is being buttered,
and he is genuflecting. He is doing a little hoctua here,
he's kissing the ring. And Jerry Jones is omnipresent, omni

(05:25):
present when it comes to the NFL. He's all knowing,
all powerful and all that, and he wields great power.
We know that. But Jerry's of the age. He pays
attention to what is now known as old media, which
I guess we're part of, although we're doing a podcast
also live and then on demand on the podcast. However, listen,

(05:46):
Jerry loves his television, he loves his newspapers, he loves
his radio, God bless him, and he monitors all of
those things. He's always keeping his ear to the ground
to hear what people are saying about him. And he's
looking wandering around. He gets up and when he's not
circumcising a mosquito or looking for some glory hole, he's

(06:09):
trying to figure out what's going on. And so Joe
Buck was wearing officially branded knee pads with the Star
logo on them. That being said, though, right when when
you take a couple of steps back, the part that
I thought was more interesting than Joe Buck's sucking up
to Jerry Jones was when Joe Buck admitted that he
would call every Cowboy game all season. That was a

(06:32):
dead give away, dead giveaway what we've been saying for years.
People call up from time to time and they rant
and rave and they can, well, do you talk about
certain teams all the time? I don't understand. I don't
please talk about the Memphis Grizzlies, you know, things like that.
And so Joe Buck what he's saying for those of
you a little slow because it's a weird time of

(06:54):
the night of the morning. Here Joe Buck is telling
you that his job is music, right. Not is he
praising the Dallas Cowboys, but he's also explaining to you
that even though he gets paid a lot of money
to go on television every single week and blow VI
eight about football for three and a half hours on

(07:16):
a Sunday or in this case, a Monday, but the broadcaster,
the broadcaster doesn't move the needle. Now, we learned, without
a shadow of a doubt a couple of years ago
from Joe Back and Troy Aikman that they don't matter
at all. They don't which makes the networks paying all

(07:37):
this money for Tony Romo and Tom Brady and all
these people ridiculous when you consider the fact that it
doesn't matter. It's elevator music. Now, we learned that when
Joe Back and Troy Aikman left Fox to go to ESPN,
and they were replaced by what was considered in comparison
no names, Kevin Burkhard who knows what he is, and

(08:01):
Greg Olsen, and so they were the ones that took
over on the Fox main broadcast. And something happened that
was very surprising to many, not to us. It was verification,
validation of a take we had years ago. The ratings
didn't go down. The ratings did not go down, and

(08:21):
people tuned in. When the Cowboys played on Fox Or
there was a good match up, and when the Cowboys
didn't play on Fox Or it was a bad match up.
The audience wasn't there, and it didn't matter whether Greg
Olsen or Troy Aikman was there. If you build it,
he will come, meaning the viewer. And if you build it,

(08:42):
he showed up, meaning a good match up, and if
you didn't, Nelly didn't show up. All right, Now, turning
the page. We go to Cansas City where the chicken
fingers are great there in Liberty, Missouri, still regaling in
that wonderful mall or meet and greet where I was
able to meet so many of you there in the
Kansas City are. It was awesome at the landing and
Liberty the mouth of chicken fingers. So I bring this

(09:04):
up because the Chiefs have been winning by the skin
on their chinny chin chin. Here Patrick Mahomes, he was
commenting this week about the status the situation the Chiefs
find themselves in. They have set an NFL record for
most wins, most consecutive wins in one score games. It's

(09:24):
insane to the membrane right now. So Mahomes says, winning
close games is keeping the Chiefs focused, right, keeping them focused?
Does that vibe with you? Does that vibe with you?
So that is a big bowl of captain crunch, all right?
What do I mean by that? It is sugarcoated because

(09:47):
Mahomes working as a contortionist, if you will. Mahomes here
trying to rationalize the situation. And so who is the
real Mahomes? Because I recall after the game against Carolina,
didn't Mahomes come out and make a statement something I'm
paraphrasing here, it'd be nice to blow somebody out once

(10:07):
in a while. And now a few days later, Mahomes
is now back and he's like, well, you know, these wins,
it's really really good for us. It keeps us focus.
He's singing a different tune about motivation and Kansas City
can't start coasting. YadA, YadA, YadA. And while it is true,
and I have said this for many years, it is

(10:28):
one of the pillars of my life in sports media.
That could teams win close games, bad teams lose close games.
I learned that when I covered the LA Clippers in
the nineteen nineties and they lost a lot of close
games and people thought they were not that far away,
but they actually sucked. And I remember it was back

(10:51):
to back games against the Jordan Bulls and the Larry
Bird Celtics. They went to overtime against both of them
at the LA Sports Arena. I was there. I was
at those games. Read it didn't exist anymore, and they
lost close games overtime game and people thought, well, they're
not that far away. No, they sucked. Bad teams lose

(11:11):
close games. Good teams find a way to win close games,
and just because you're a good team does not mean
that you're gonna win every game by a lot. However,
there's a caveat to that you do have to win
some games by a lot. The Chiefs don't do that.
They don't and a pretty good indicator of how your
season is going, although not the end all be all,
is the gambling market and is someone that likes to

(11:34):
wager from time to time on the pig skin. I
look at those numbers and are you meeting expectations? There
is no one that matters more when it comes to
expectations than the point spread. Because the people that make
the points spread from those smoke filled rooms in Vegas.
The people that set the point spread mostly nerds. Now

(11:55):
they've got skin in the game. There's money to be
lost if they get it wrong. They have to get
it right now. They want equal money. But if you
have done well, you have covered the spread. So, for example,
the Chiefs are eleven and one straight up. That means
without the point spread. When you bring the points spread
into the equation, the arithmetic changes. The Chiefs are an

(12:18):
under five hundred team. They're five and seven against the spread.
They have a losing record. They have been unable to
meet expectations with the gambling market in seven of the
twelve games that they've played. They're not living up to
those expectations. Now, just to compare that, the Detroit Lions,
who are also eleven and one. Their record against the

(12:39):
spread is nine and three. So that's a team that
is meeting expectations. The Detroit Lions and those some big numbers.
You're a good team. You're favored by a fair amount
in most games, home, road doesn't matter. And the Lions
are nine and three, same overall record as Kansas City,
but against the spread nine and three, the Chiefs are

(12:59):
five and seven. All right, final thought, We now go
to Jersey yet again, because if it loses, it leads
on this show. Not if it bleeds, it leads. If
it loses, it leads, it leads. And so we start
with Devonte Adams wide receiver Davonte Adams who says he
has no regrets, no regrets joining the Jet Now he

(13:24):
has said this in the past, he has now doubled
down on this again. The wide receiver came over from
the Raiders. He says he has no regrets joining the Jets.
Even though the team is terrible. Are you going to
upvote or down vote this comment by Devonte Adams? So
I am going to downvote this. I'm gonna downvote this

(13:45):
particular comment. It is okay to admit. It is perfectly
fine to admit that a mistake was made. You were
at Santa Anita, the flag is up, and you bet
the wrong horse. You bet the wrong horse. Bad job
by you. Adams demanded out of Vegas. Remember he made
a big, big deal about this. There was a back

(14:06):
and forth with Antonio Pierce, the coach of the Raiders,
and Antonio Peers had made a comment on the X
machine that blew up, and then shortly after that, DeVante
Adams said, I got to get out of here. I'm
persona non grata. I went out and so that happened,
and at that point hit the pause button. You're Devonte Adams.

(14:28):
The Raiders are willing to trade you. You can go
anywhere you want in the NFL other than an AFC
West team. You can't really go to the broncos of
the Chargers because the the Raiders wouldn't send you there.
But outside of that, so you have options behind door
number one, Number one door number one, you've got who what,
You've got the Jets, Door number two you have you've

(14:54):
got Buffalo, and door number three Baltimore. Those are the
three teams out there, not AFC West teams. Obviously, Kansas
City not not a possibility. So those are the three teams.
And you picked the Jets, you picked door number one.
You picked the cow. You didn't pick the thorough Member.
They didn't pick the Thoroughbred horse. You picked the cow.

(15:17):
Why would you pick the cow. It's a bad job
by You shouldn't pick the cow. You pick the cow,
and now you're trying to you're trying to win a
race with the cow, and the cow just wants to
eat grass and that's all the cow wants to do.
That's it. So instead of picking the team that would
go on and have success and nobody knows for sure,
but you pick the team that has fired their coach

(15:37):
and their general manager and has Aaron Rodgers who's apparently
more concerned about promoting his Netflix docu series about going
out to the Amazon and doing some weird stuff out
there in the jungle. It is the Ben Mallor Show.
If you would like to be part, this is an
interactive program. You can be part of the show very

(15:59):
so give us a bus eight seven seven ninety nine
on Fox. I did get an email from a guy,
so what are you gonna do a Nuby Night?

Speaker 3 (16:06):
And I would.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
I'm almost fascinated by this because you can call you
tell me what. You don't need to wait for a
Newby Night that will They don't understand, but some people need.
They feel threatened by people like Gunner and hollering James
and blind Scott and Manuel and Guardina. People like this right,
so they're like, oh, hey, I can only call in

(16:27):
a Nuby night. So I'll tell you what. We will
do a Newby Night. We'll do it sometime next week.
Pick a random night next week, we'll do a Nuby
Night and we'll have some fun.

Speaker 4 (16:37):
All right.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
I'm giving out the number I stopped for for months.
I didn't give out the number. We'd stop doing that.
We had speak easy rules and effect where we didn't
take as many calls. You know, since the company decided
Eddie needed some time off, we've we've had more time
to take calls, so there's more opportunity for you to
get on and stuff like that. So anyway at eight seven,

Hello Tom, Hello Ben, How are you, sir?

Speaker 1 (23:14):

I'm not. I'm here talking and it's wonderful. How can
I help you, Tom?

Speaker 6 (23:23):
Well, look, I want.

Speaker 5 (23:24):
To let you know that it's the first time I've
heard you, and I have been enjoying your whole show.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
Thank you.

Speaker 5 (23:33):
I also also, at some point in my life, I'm
a journalism major. I did radio, so I get what
you're doing and I really appreciate what you do and
stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
So you understand the art of radio. You understand the
ancient lost art of audio communication, the theater, the mind
that is radio.

Speaker 4 (23:55):
You get it exactly, exactly, exactly get it.

Speaker 5 (23:57):
I understand it. I've done it.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
Now what Well, I got a question. We did a
Malard meet and greet before you were listening in South
Carolina because my niece went to a school in Charleston.
What part of South Carolina?

Speaker 5 (24:09):
A in Greenville, South Carolina. That's where I was born
and raised. But I lived in Columbia, South Carolina, because
I went to the University of South Carolina.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
Okay, I I drove through there. We drove all the
way across the state there to go to the BUCkies,
which is over across the state there. And fine, fine,
establishment yeah, it was worth it.

Speaker 5 (24:30):
I know exactly where you're talking about. I will have
to say real quick. You brought up that I had
no idea about this, Thomas Brown being the interim head
coach with the Chicago Bears. He was the running backs
coach at USC when I was down in Columbia.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
So small. It's a small world. Look at that now.
And he also said, Thomas Brown, he claimed in the
last couple of weeks he's lost twenty two pounds because
he hasn't had time to eat because he's coaching the
Chicago Bears. Twenty two pounds. That's a great diet. We
should all get jobs as coaches in the NFL. We'll
lose a lot of weight.

Speaker 5 (25:03):
Tom right, we'll lose a lot of exactly exactly well, look,
I and everything, but you know, I just wanted to
I don't really have a full question. My whole point
is just making a point. You know, you were talking
about Deontay Johnson. I saw the news today about what
happened my dad from Pittsburgh. I'm a Steelers fan and

(25:27):
everything like that, And I guess my whole deal is,
it's just very interesting to me whether they go somewhere
else or it happens in Pittsburgh.

Speaker 7 (25:38):
It just seems like in the last.

Speaker 5 (25:39):
Few years it's been very hit or miss on some
of these wide receivers. You know that they're very good
for Pittsburgh, but then it's like a couple of years
and then we let them go because of I don't know,
different things.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
I'm not yeah, I mean, and Antonio Brown's the gold
standout was a few years ago when he left and
then he remember he froze his feet, he burned his feet.
I had frostbite on his feet with the Raiders. That
was outstanding. That was that was a great moment in
NFL history. But thank you, we're here five nights a week.
I got a podcast on the weekend. Tom so if
you're ever up late, come by and say hello, all right.

Speaker 5 (26:17):
Thanks, I definitely will well.

Speaker 6 (26:18):
I appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
Very clear. There's Tom look at that salo to not
a doctor who's in Michigan. Hello, not a doctor, Ben,
I just.

Speaker 2 (26:31):
Had a comment on the narcan. I mean, I'm sorry
the substance policy at for the NFL. The As a
Lions fan, I'm very excited that Jamison Williams.

Speaker 7 (26:43):
Will have more chances than.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
Lower threshold to do his thing and not get suspended.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
I'm the doctor said, fine advice, fine advice. You're looking
for the you're looking for the positive, the silver lining.

Speaker 7 (26:57):
Looking for the positive.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
We get to keep him on the field as much.
Bustle my My only thought with.

Speaker 7 (27:04):
That theory, uh that you guys were talking through. There's
an idea called harm reduction, and it's like carrying nar
can your car, which says like, if something's going to
kill someone, let's make him.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
Make it easy for them to do the right thing.

Speaker 7 (27:19):
And with the fentanyl fentanyls powerful enough stuff that if
you have it in your system, you're either using it
the right way or you're about to kill yourself, and.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
So making it but you again you're not a doctor,
but you have studied the I'm a doctor.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
I worked for a hospice company.

Speaker 7 (27:36):
So your mom was on morphine and not heroin would.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
Be my I was trying to think of I couldn't
put the words. It's like a cousin of heroin. But
it sounded it sounded tougher when I said my mom
was on heroin. That sounded more impressive. Yeah, trying to
look out for my mom.

Speaker 7 (27:59):
I thought it the NFL is doing farm reducts, it
would be my guy.

Speaker 1 (28:02):

It is the Ben maler So. Hello a blind Scott.
We have asked Ben coming up in a moment. Hello
blind Scott on the North End there in Boston.

Speaker 6 (28:18):
Damn, I missed that segment about drugs. Dude that was
at an AA meeting once and a guy he couldn't walk,
he was like paralyzed. He did heroin to walk again.
It powered him so much where he was able to
know he was in a bad accident. It gave him
the confidence to walk. I tried Heroin a couple of times.
It makes you feel like you're a million bucks. I'll
recommend anybody tries it out. They had that fednel on it.

(28:39):
Feedanel is so cheap it will kill you so quick.
You can buy a bag of it for like five bucks,
and all you need to do is the tiny little amount,
and it's terrible. Nobody wants to do that. You can't
even do any type of recreational drugs anymore because it's
in there and you won't realize it, and it puts
you to sleep immediately. So if you ever feel like
you have your eyelids are real heavy and you're doing speed,
call and a going immediately. But dude, then what.

throw him a little bit right now. You know, like
I met him in the nineties. Once. He pretends to

off the grid, Isn't that the thing? Yeah, that's what.

game of pool? Well, back when I was a single
man and I was I was called Mallard Fats is
what I was called. I was a pool hustler back
in the day. And uh, very good. You know. I played.
I used to play pool. We we actually I played
pool one time with Bruce Bochie when he was the
manager of the podres at the National Sports Grill in Anaheim.

(35:55):
We used to play pool all the time, the boys.
I man, I had a great lie. I'd go cover
baseball games or basketball games, and then we'd go out
to like bars and hang out and just complain about
our lives and say how we were gonna be successful.
But I used to play pool. I haven't played in
years though the old I used to live the old
spot in Lincoln Heights, there was a pool table I played.
I played there sometimes, but it's been been a while.

(36:16):
Been a minute.

Speaker 3 (36:17):
What about you, Lorena, I was on a pool hall

I got a par of Christmas, she kept the present
that was yours, and she kept it.

Speaker 8 (36:58):

pool table to a new house is kind of a
kind of a hassle.

Speaker 1 (37:04):

I was kind of bitter about it. But anyway, my
skills have waned. But I did play uh fairly. I
