Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Welcome, It's our numb bird two. Just
say the word, say the word the sum in substance
of our number two. Here it is. What is your
braction on to Eric b Enemy's dismissal from you see
La after only one year? Oh, he's not doing well
right now? Is there a lesson from Eric Beenemy's fall
from grace? He was a darling in Kansas City and
(00:23):
it's not gone so well since he left the Chiefs. Also,
Vikings Wide receiver Justin Jefferson says that he has not
spoken to Kirk Cousins once since Cousins left Minnesota in
free agency. Is this a big deal, a little deal
or no deal? Well answer that question. I mean you're
dying to know my answer. We'll get to it right now.
Here it is our number two. There is nothing bruin. No, really,
(00:47):
there is nothing bruin. Welcome. In the beginning of another
hour of the Ben Malors Show. We are in the
air everywhere, lathering on as we are the soundtrack to
your night right now, coast to coast, sport of the
(01:07):
border and beyond all the mast and noisily powerful microphones
of FSR ammating live from the shop the verbal butcher
shop of your favorite sports here as we're broadcasting live
from the tiraq dot com studios. Tiraq dot com will
help you get there an unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,
(01:31):
free road hazard protection, over ten thousand I recommended installers.
I know not a burner in Utah. Not a burner
likes the number ten thousand tract dot com the way
tirebine should be. I understand that not a burner is
leaving the dreaded graveyard shift to the horrible daytime shift.
(01:53):
We're losing not a burner, and the rule is not
a burner. When you leave the overnight shift to the
dreaded day shift, then have to get whoever replaces you
on the night shift to listen to the show, and
you have to then become a podcast listener to the program.
That's how we increase the audience. That we don't lose anyone.
We only have seven or eight people listening, so we
(02:13):
don't lose anybody. But our lead this hour is from football.
We'll certainly talk more later on about the Thursday night game.
As the Lions win on a last second field goal
over the Packers, So that game goes the way of
the Lions. The Packers a bad first half, good second half. Lions,
though dominated time of possession in Detroit despite some very
(02:36):
analytically driven play calls. They will pull it out. But
our lead this hour is from Westwood. Now, this is
not about the Wizard of Westwood. This is another you
do with UCLA basketball. I can't remember the last time
that we talked about uc LEA football, although than the
mockt when Brian Finley used to work here. But there
is you know, I'm nuts isn't working here anymore. He'd
(02:57):
be very proud of us. But there's of change howling
around the football world. It's coach change season, and the
wins have changed blue through the UCLA campus, much like
the football team blows over there. Now, normally that doesn't
even get a mention on this show. Why would it, right,
we do broadcasting, not narrow casting. But this rises to
(03:20):
the level of high crimes and misdemeanors on the Malard
monologue scale. So if you don't know by now why
I'm bringing this up, that means you haven't been paying attention.
Bad job by you. So if you don't know, let
me give you the thumbnail recap. So you see l Hey,
the gutty little Bruins of Westwood have fired offensive coordinator
(03:43):
Eric Bienemy after only one season, by bye, see you later.
The Bruins finished a dismal five and seven this season
and the Big Ten they failed to qualify for Bowl eligibility,
which is really hard to do. And and now is
this a massive deal? It depends on what side of
(04:05):
the aisle you're sitting on. The Enemy, with much fanfare,
joined new UC Dealer coach to Shaan Foster's staff after
calling plays has calling plays for the NFLS Commanders for
a season, but he's most known as the offensive coordinator
for Canzaw City and not one but two Super Bowl teams.
(04:29):
And so the Enemy the buyout worth more than one
point two million. He's also still getting paid by the
Washington Commanders, so he's like a Dodger player. He's getting
a lot of money to do nothing. But let us
discuss the question what is your riacshon your reaction to
Eric Benemy being dismissed from UCLA. So I've got phone booth,
(04:53):
staircase and sitcom experience, phone booth, staircase and sitcom experience,
and we'll lock all of these things together and we
are going to make a nice round of golf, which
Eric Banemy can play a lot of golf. Now he
doesn't have to worry about going anywhere to work because
(05:14):
he just can hang out and golf every day. So
Na Burn, that's right. Let me begin by pointing out
that Eric Banemy's agent is claiming that he was not fired.
Everyone else is saying he was fired, but enemy's agents
saying he just decided to quit on UCLA after one
year because he wanted to go back to the NFL. Now,
if you believe that you're a low information fan, you're
(05:37):
a low information fan. So Eric Benemy at this point
has to have that sinking feeling, that sinking feeling here.
This is in a masculating situation. And what he has
been able to do, I'm gonna talk to you in
cartoon terminology. He has done a reverse Superman. Now you
(05:58):
know what a reverse Robinhood is. I take from the
poor to give to the rich. But this is a
reverse Superman. He has gone into the phone booth, and
he was the NFL's whiz kid right up and coming coach.
He went into the phone booth, he exited as the
village idiot in no time at all. How bad is it?
(06:20):
The person in the back of the room mass, how
bad is it? Well, under Eric Banemy, you see, LA
ranked in the bottom percentile in every offensive category that matters.
They were one hundred and twenty six nationally among D
one schools in scoring one hundred and twenty six. They
averaged less than eighteen and a half points per game
(06:42):
this past season. They did not score more than twenty
points in their last four games. In any of those games,
they also the Bruins ranked one hundred and seventeenth in
total offense one hundred and seventeenth in total offense. They
also had the fifth worst running attack in collegiate football.
All Right, they sucked to the north, suck to the south,
they sucked to the west, they sucked to the east,
(07:03):
they sucked everywhere under Eric b Enemy. And so now
he does the walk of shame out of the UCLA
football program, and his agent is trying to spin spin, spin,
spin spin, working as a spin doctor, and that's what
an agent's supposed to do, and making it seem like, oh,
he just decided to quit after one year, which doesn't
look good. Even if that was true, that would make
(07:24):
him look terrible. I know gulible people will believe that,
But think how bad that looks like. You go to college,
like the whole point of is you're supposed to be
there and you make a commitment to the players, even
know the players are all taking nil money now and
bouncing around the country, But that doesn't matter. You're you're
the coach. You're supposed to be above that. You know,
you agree to be there, and you got to be
there for more than one year. And so either he
looks bad because he's lying through his agent, or he
(07:46):
looks bad because he quit on the UCLA football program
and should have never gone there if he only wanted
to be there for one year. Makes no sense right now?
Pitch two, Is there a lesson? Is there a lesson
from Eric b enemy and his path his journey on
the coaching circuit? So right this is a lesson plan
(08:10):
be careful what you wish for, Be careful what you
wish for the enemy. He had desigh on the prize,
and I remember we did monologues when he was in
Kansas City. If you go back to the archives, I
know Tony in the Bay Area loves listening to old shows.
So you go to listen to some of our old
shows on the podcast going back years, and people were
(08:31):
really upset that PI Enemy didn't get head coaching jobs.
And the argument was always, well, he's got to leave
Kansas City. He's got to prove that he is not
a byproduct of the coach he's under and the quarterback.
And so he goes and does what he's supposed to do.
He followed the advice. He left Kansas City to go
(08:53):
out and show the world that he's not a fraud,
that he can coach on his own, and he can
coach up players, polish some turns, make them better, and
that was the mission. But this guy was flying high
in Kansas City, and he was always the bride'smaid, never
the bride. And for head coaching jobs eighteen interviews turned
(09:14):
down for eighteen coaching jobs. Head coaching jobs eighth for eighteen,
oh for eighteen. Now I know the story about Abraham
Lincoln where Lincoln I think it was eight elections Lincoln
lost and then became such an important president that he's
he's immortalized on money. You know his history back in
(09:34):
the early days of America. But eighteen interviews no jobs,
I mean squadouche in terms of jobs. So the enemy,
he leaves Messouri, he follows the mallor advice, career advice.
He's going to prove to me, he's going to prove
to you, and he's going to prove to the NFL
that he's not just writing in the afterglow of Mahomes
(09:57):
and Andy Reid. He goes out and who goofed? I've
got to know. Ever since then, he's been bouncing down
a never ending staircase. Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce,
lower and lower and lower and lower and lower and lower.
Just like that, he bet on himself and he has
(10:19):
been betrayed by the man in the mirror. The man
in the mirror has betrayed him. The Washington football team
his one season was twenty fourth in offense, twenty where
they were worse with him than the year before, with
the same crappy players. They were worse with him than
(10:41):
the year before he arrived. And then we gave you
the numbers earlier on UCLA. They speak for themselves and
how terrible, terrible they are. All right, final point, We
now get in the plane and we're gonna fly to
Minnesota where Femi is the number one uber each driver.
(11:02):
We've got our buddy, you know, Eke there and Roseville, Minnesota,
Rob and Minnesota. Get a lot of our friends there
in Minnesota. So that is also where this weekend it's
the Kirk Cousins revenge game. Who the former Purple People
Eaters quarterback.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
He's back.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
He's returning to his old stomping grounds. He'll be wearing
different laundry. We'll be wearing different laundry, the Atlanta Falcon laundry.
And in lead up to this game, I thought this
was interesting. Steve, who lives in Saint Paul, sent this
to me. I did not see this, so thank you, Steve.
This interview with Justin Jefferson, the Vikings wide receiver. Justin
(11:39):
Jefferson was interviewed this week and says that he has
not spoken to Kirk Cousins one time, not spoken to
him one time since he left the Minnesota football team
in free agency to go to Atlanta. Not one conversation.
Is this a big deal, a little deal or no deal?
(12:02):
So I have this as I jotted down. No deal,
all right, it's to be expected and the reason it's
to be expected is because I'm an adult and I've
lived jobs, and I've you know, I work in radio.
They fire people all the time, as you guys learned,
unfortunately we all learned again, it's very unstable business. Uh,
the business I'm in. And so I've worked with a
(12:22):
lot of people that have come and gone to my
life and they're work friends. So the fact that all
is quiet on the Western Front is not a surprise
because in the real world, you're not getting what I
call the sitcom experience. Back in the when people sho
watch sitcoms, you watch the boob Tube and all those
old sitcoms. You know, people would work together. You go out, yeah,
(12:43):
you know, go have some Bruce Kis after work, you
go bowling with your buddies from work. You know, you're
like you live in the same building, you know, and
all that. That's the sitcom experience. In the real world,
you have work friends who are not real friends. They're colleagues, right,
they're not real friends. I'll give you alf I I
have a holiday party. It's actually coming up this weekend,
(13:04):
and I always make an effort to invite people that
I liked a lot, that I worked with. They were
my work friends, and the ones that show up tell
me that they're actually not just work friends. They actually
there's like a real friendship. Most of them don't show
up though, because they were work friends. I get it.
I totally get it because they're not real friends, because
a real friend will make an effort to be there
(13:25):
and show up, but fake friends, the colleagues, they will
not show up, and so there is a different in that.
And then the other thing is like Cousins is older
than Jefferson. There's a big age gap there. So they're
in different parts of the circle of life. And it's
like you chit chat with a co worker and you
talk about a lot of in a normal job, you
(13:46):
talk about stuff on the surface, right, so, hell, how
was your weekend? Hey, what are you doing this week?
And all that kind of stuff. But there's nothing really
deep going on there. And if you were really in trouble,
do you think you're the person you work with your
work friend would really help you? Probably not right. And
so the idea that Justin Jefferson is not buddy buddy
(14:08):
with Kirk Cousins, it would be surprising if they were friends,
because they were just work friends. They were colleagues. That's
all they were, all right, is the Ben Mahler Show.
If you want to comme out on any of that,
you are more than welcome to Joyce. Also the be
Enemy thing. Tough tough day for the race baders. There
were a lot of race baiders. I saw some of
(14:28):
these clips you guys were sending me. The people that
were convinced Eric Bienemy wasn't getting head coaching jobs because
he's black, and then now he's failed at an NFL
job and a college job, and so they were playing
some of these old clips and they were so so cringeworthy.
They were hilarious, like the race baiders in the media
that were just over the top. My god. All right, anyway,
(14:49):
if you want to be part of this eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven nine nine
six six three sixty nine, also on X at Ben Mahler,
that is at Ben Mahler, if you'd like to interact
with the live radio program, do it live here all night?
Do it live. What is the time of the year.
(15:11):
A lot of people at work through that secret Santa thing. Well,
holiday gift season is upon us. Even in professional sports.
They even do it and this is not a secret
Santa story, but I still thought it was amusing enough
to share with you. What is I'm very vague because
(15:31):
I will share that with you. We'll get to it,
and we will do it next.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Maler
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on

Speaker 4 (15:53):
Oh the weather outside is frightful, but Malor is so delightful,
So turn on your radio. Listen to the Ben Mahler Show. Wow,
Roberto Fines, Drops, Forge, Dropping, who to Loop always keeps
(16:15):
Things hopping, Classic Tune and Eddies a total pro.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
The names of Change. Listen to the shows. The show
is I Bill Miller reminding you to spread holiday joy
one single, one single message at a time on the
X machine. I send your message in and say hello
to Bend at Van Mallord. That is at Bean Mallard.
(16:42):
You say hi, you do, Cooper LOOFU may or may
not answer your calls at all, Bronco Fan and Loreina FSR.
Listen to Tech.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
Queen ben Man.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Show. And now back to that you almost hit the post. There,
Oh there it is o ho ho ho ho ho
ho ho. Well, Jason the Diamond Man rights in. He says, Ben,
do you believe that Scott Morris is giving the Yankees
the best last chance to match or beat any one
(17:19):
Soto offers? I have honestly no clue. Well, from what
I understand, Soto is going to go to the highest bidder.
So if that's the case, you have to have some
kind of deadline here. The Winter Meetings are coming up,
and the assumption this is gonna be done by the
Winter Meetings, as teams have to a they have to
(17:40):
spend that money elsewhere. They're not gonna wait forever on
one Sodo Right's I wouldn't pay him, but hey, it
ain't my money, and somebody's gonna payim a ton of money.
I hate I hate these huge contracts, and I realize
I'm I'm hypocritical. So the Dodgers do this with everybody,
like everyone's got a ten year contract. I just think
it's terrible, long run. But the Dodger have been able
to pull it off. They've won World Series with the
(18:01):
Mookie Bets contract. They won a World Series with Gough Tani.
As long as you win one World Series, I'm okay
with it. I don't love it, but I'm okay with it.
But you gotta win one World Series. That's the male rule.
The mal rule is, if you give out a ten
or fifteen year contract, you gotta get me one World
series at least one. And if I don't get one,
I'm not getting my money's worth. Like Mike Trout didn't
(18:22):
give the Angels their money's worth because he signed a
forever contract and the guy's a stiff. Those are rules
that he no, those are not those are my rules,
and those and those are the rules. Very simple. Now
get to Mike Trout's better at giving the weather than
he is playing baseball right now, and the Angel signed
him for one of those you know, forever contracts, and
he sucks, and so he didn't give them return on investment,
(18:44):
and no one's buying ticks to watch him play baseball.
But as far as to get to the point about
Juan Soto, if I'm Scott Boris, what do you do?
Who's got more money to burn? The Yankees and the Mets?
So I would The play here is to get the
final offer from the Yankees, say everyone submit final offers.
Then go to the Mets and say I'd like fifty
(19:05):
million dollars more than the other offer. There's a tax
you have to pay. It said that people call it
the suck tax. Now, the Mets don't suck, but in
New York sports, compared to the Yankees, they're you know,
they're the the lower level baseball team in New York, right,
They're the lower level team, and so it's got hobbies.
So if you're you're, you're like, I'll play for the Mets,
but you gotta pay me fifteen million extra, fifteen million extra.
(19:29):
Alf the alien Opiners says, I thought we were work friends. Yeah,
well we are. We are work friends. Though is Alf
coming to the holiday party?
Speaker 4 (19:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
There's a better chance he shows up than Coop. Though
I know that king Ry writes and says, since LA
sports teams love to hire podcast as as coaches, I
know just the guys UCLA should hire, or just the
guy rather. Brian Finley, Well, I know he's not working
here anymore, so he's available if you want to hire him,
and he would do about as well as JJ Reddick
(19:59):
is doing with the Lakers. I'm just saying about it.
We want to do it with Brian Fenley yeah, all right,
be wonderful. Who else Eugene in Chicago rights since has
been It looks like Eric Benemy isn't a race issue.
The enemy must have an attitude issue, must be a
complete jackass who is not willing to adopt to today's generation. Well, yeah,
(20:22):
who knows what's true? You hear stories. Who knows. There's
also supposedly some baggage in his past that would be
a problem. I don't know if that's still a problem, right,
And it depends. I guess who's investigating and whatnot. But
Eloy from Compton writes and says I can almost guarantee you.
Eloy says he's a Chiefs fan, almost guarantee you that
(20:43):
Eric Benemy returns to Kansas City as an offensive consultant.
When he was there, our offense was always top five
in the league. Maybe the missing piece to that three feet.
I think Tyreek Hill is on the other line. He'd
like to have a word with your Tyreek Hill. I'm
just saying Tyreek's online two. We'd like to talk to Eloy. Yeah.
Robin Minnesota says Kirk Cousins is a poopy head. Everyone
(21:08):
at the Viking Stadium will give him a long standing ovation.
But the bottom line is, poop the loop. We still
haven't won a Super Bowl, so Cousins can just go
away in my opinion, Yeah, well, and he'll get a
standing ovation. He's gonna get a standing ovation because of
the fact that that's uh, that's Minnesota nice, is what
(21:30):
that is? That's Minnesota nice. So he's gonna get a
standing ovation because of that. Uh, let's see who do
we have here? Well, mat Manuel's talking trash to Gunner
there in Minnesota, late night drug tester, right, since is uh,
don't think Andy Reid has enough room to rehab another
offensive coordinator. Also, I heard Doug Peterson has called about
potential openings. Yeah, they can line them up the Andy
(21:54):
Reid coaching tree, not the not the greatest tree that
does it? Not as bad as Belichick? Right, is not
as bad as the Belichick tree. It isn't that great.
Midnight Walker writes in from Syracuse. Although he's a Viking fan,
he says Kirk Cousin stole the Vikings money for many,
many years, such a fraud he nearly drove us Viking
(22:15):
fans to tears. Anything good and anything good about this
bum is just unfounded. Come Sunday. I can't just can't
wait for that loser to get pounded. Wow, all right,
ferg Dog writes in and says a plus plus on
the Malla monologue. My favorite part was the shout out
(22:35):
you gave to the numb nuts, Brian Finley. If you're
a Bruin Hank like me, you got to enjoy that
at Bruin Talk show. Well, I'm sure, and let me
guess it was saying how great all season? Eric Bman
he is and the enemy's a wonderful coach. And my
name is Brian Finley. I'm a jack sniffer, and I
approve of this message. All right, Let's go to Dave,
(22:58):
who is in the Commonwealth, and he is up next. Hello, Dave, welcome.
You were on Fox Sports Radius, the Ben mallor Showy
Ben Olia, Dave. If I was any better, Dave, I
would be I would be Juan Soto and I'd be
about to sign a six hundred million dollar contract. But
I'm not so.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
Yeah, signs with the with the batay. Speaking of that,
speaking of baseball in the heart, so how about this?
Speaker 6 (23:28):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (23:29):
I bumped into a Sir Peter Gammon yesterday at the
or Wednesday at the liquor store. I was standing behind
him and I said, hey, you know this guy, what
do you think Peter Gammons just drinking these days?
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Scotch? I think Peter Gammon is drinking scotch.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
Way off, way off. I'll tell you what it's. It's
pretty white. He's drinking. He's drinking sods, he's drinking beers.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Old I was. And now, Lorena, do you know who
Peter Gammons is? Lorena?
Speaker 7 (24:04):
No, I've never heard of Peter Dinklin.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
What who do you think Peter Gammons is, Lorena.
Speaker 7 (24:12):
Well maybe he's the inventor of backgammon.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Yeah, see, Dave, Lorena does not have the sports gene. Uh,
she's lacking that. But yeah, Gammons is really old. And
he was old when he was on TV. When I
was a kid, he was old. And now he's a
baseball guy. Baseball Insidia. I don't say, Coop. We want
to take a guess what Peter Gammons was drinking at
the according to Dave, And again we have no way
(24:38):
of verifying this, but I want to believe it. I
want to believe. Yeah. Yeah, but it's very random to right,
Why would you call up an overnight show with that
story about Peter Gammons of all people? Right, so I
say there must be some truth somewhere. There's got a
kernel of truth.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
What was this establishment?
Speaker 5 (24:56):
Uh, it's called North Founous Workers down in Cape Cod
in Massachusetts, a little peninsula, all right.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
So he's on the cape and that's where all the
rich people are hanging out in the Cape. Right, So
he's enjoying himself, living his greatest life. He made all
that ESPN money, so he's rich and whatnot. What do
you think he was drinking.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
I think he was having a long Island iced tea.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
No, it was beer. It was like perhaps about that
past was when it.
Speaker 8 (25:19):
Was that you're on the right track, damn.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Ben, I am on the right of no way. He's
still like bitter beer, face loo please lorraina? What kind
of beer? You don't know who this is. But he's
an old man and he used to talk about baseball
a lot. And he's on the Cape. So he's like rich,
and he's at a liquor store, a small liquor store.
What do you think he buys.
Speaker 7 (25:42):
Miller?
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Miller? She's a question mark. At the end of.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
Mister Gammon, and he was a very nice gentleman, very cordial,
said a load on me and everything he bought.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Move, Oh the blue what's wrong with that? I like
blue Moon? What's wrong with you? Got a problem with
blue Moon?
Speaker 3 (26:04):
No problem with that?
Speaker 5 (26:06):
I just I don't know. I just thought it was
kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
What did you expect him? What did you expect him
to be drinking?
Speaker 5 (26:12):
Drinking Blue Moon these days in a sixth pack? Cordial?
Speaker 1 (26:19):
That's nice, that's good. He was nice to you. That
was That was nice of him. And it's a nice
Belgium style beer. I am my rotation the Blue Moon. Yeah,
it was.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
Uh, I've enjoyed it.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Yeah, he was. He was a very nice no good
I bet you. I'll bet you know that. Now do
you live out there, Dave? Or you do you live
on the Cape? Is that where your your base?
Speaker 5 (26:41):
I worked on the Cape. I live off CA.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Okay, Okay, So so I'm assuming this is true there
because I know in l A. You know, there's a
lot of celebrities obviously live in l A, and people
go and they drive by their houses. But if you
really want to see celebrities in l A, there's a
Whole Foods grocery store where they all shop at right
near where we work the studio, and that's like they're
all hanging out there shopping, eating, you know, buying tomatoes
(27:06):
and stuff like that. And I bet you the same
thing on the Cape right probably there's like a local
market there and they're out there buying their their apples
or whatever, and they're enjoying themselves. So that's the way
to go. All right, A great story there. Who who
doesn't want to hear a story about Peter Gammon drinking
blue Moon at a small liquor store in the Cape.
That's a great story, Dave.
Speaker 8 (27:23):
You know, I thought a little bit you did.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
You know, I'm giving you a golden ticket. I need
more content like that. I need that in my life.
Speaker 5 (27:33):
I would like to talk about the holiday party, the
company holiday party.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
But yeah, okay, I called back for that. Please, we
don't have time for that. But thank you. They don't
want to bowguart all the time. That'd be wrong of you, Bogart.
Speaker 7 (27:46):
At the time, it was very festive, very festive.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Yeah, the big shots fluid on their private jets there, Lorena.
They were all hanging out.
Speaker 7 (27:55):
Yeah, they were there.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Get any FaceTime with the big powerful people there.
Speaker 7 (28:00):
Oh yeah, I spent some time with mister Shapiro.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Yeah, it's time there.
Speaker 7 (28:05):
And I saw the other ones, but I didn't really
talk to anyone.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
The other ones. That's what they're doing the other ones. Yes,
I often when I see them, I'll say, hey, you're
the other one, and.
Speaker 7 (28:15):
Yeah, other ones don I met in person again, there's
a name.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
My man. Yeah, great, Down. I love that. I've known
Down for a long time. Yeah.
Speaker 9 (28:26):
So they had the food set out really weird, normally
like a buffet.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Right, did they cut the appetizers in half or something
like that or no?
Speaker 9 (28:35):
But everyone was just sitting at the tables, and so
then they put the food at the tables, so it
looked like everyone had entrees, but they weren't entres, like
you were supposed to go up and take food off
of random tables.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Oh yeah, that's awkward.
Speaker 9 (28:51):
And I'm like, hi, people, I don't know, can I
have this chicken wing that's not yours?
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Were people giving you this think eye?
Speaker 4 (28:59):
Like what do you do?
Speaker 7 (29:00):
No one gave me the stinaky ben.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Of course not. I mean the rain. But if I
did that, if I was there, it would have been, oh,
look at this ugly man coming over here, trying to
take our food.
Speaker 9 (29:08):
It was so though, when they were bringing fresh stuff
out of the kitchen, I grabbed a whole plate of
chicken wings for myself.
Speaker 7 (29:13):
That's not I was like, out of your hand.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Man, all right? And did they consistently bring out the appetizers?
Speaker 7 (29:22):
Was we holiday currently bringing out?
Speaker 1 (29:25):
I suppose did they cut it off at a certain point,
did they say no more, we reached our quota of appetizers.
Speaker 9 (29:32):
Even when I was leaving, people were still getting nachos
and things.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Yeah, well, I will go to these holidays. I used
to go to them back in the old days, but
I will go to them again if they're ever at
a time I can actually attend them. But they're not
really convenient.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
For Yeah, I've never been to one of them.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
You've never gotten sleeping.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
I mean it's it's literally at the studio.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
At three pm, yeah, which is when when you do overnights.
It's that's not a good time. No.
Speaker 10 (30:00):
And then even if you were to just like go on,
you know, less sleep and go to the party, then
the party is over and there's still like five hours
before the show.
Speaker 7 (30:10):
Turn out the party is over.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
There's nowhere to sleep. It's not like they have a
sleep right exactly. You're stocked.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Actually that that's a great idea.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Tell Scott, put a sleep room in. Yes, And there's
a lot of empty offices up there. They got rid
of people, that's true. A sleeper room somewhere, you know,
put that in it. Put a bed in there.
Speaker 7 (30:27):
I brought my blow up mattress bend.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Oh you did. It's very nice. Did you put in
like Jim Rome's old studio or something like that?
Speaker 4 (30:34):
Whatever?
Speaker 5 (30:34):
One?
Speaker 1 (30:34):
The new studio is the new studio? What?
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Okay?
Speaker 7 (30:38):
What is the new studio the one that was renovated,
you know, the new.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
One, which is the old one?
Speaker 7 (30:43):
Right, just like this used to be the old one?
Announced the new one.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Well, no, this was never the old one. This was
the old The studio right now is the Limbaugh Studio,
the Steve Harvey limbost I.
Speaker 7 (30:51):
Don't know where I am.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Yeah. Limbaugh was so powerful at the Premiere Networks Rush.
Limbaugh made so much money for the company. He did
shows from La maybe two weeks a year, and Rush
at his own studio that no one could go in
with a golden microphone and nobody could mess with it, right,
and he only used it. Yeah, Golden Micra And I
remember with the years that Rush would show up, and
(31:12):
it was when it was limball week. You know, everyone
had to dress up. You know, we all just like
slobs and like everyone's got to dress up. You know,
kiss Rush sees you and all that stuff. And Rush
would come in. He'd get dropped off from a limo
and he'd walk in smoking a cigar. You know, he
didn't give a crap about ay that. I just wanted
to do a show and get the hell out of there.
But it was so funny how everyone was like paranoid
about you got to press Rush and all that stuff
back in the day show. Yeah, and your best behavior.
(31:36):
It's kind of like when you have a you have
an event at your house, right, you clean up the house.
You make sure it looks good. It's not how it
normally looks, but you make it look nice when people
are coming over out.
Speaker 9 (31:45):
Have you ever had all your coats out and you're
just show them in the closet?
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Oh yeah, well yeah that's why you Like you have
an extra room or garage or something like that, you
just throw stuff in the Yeah, and then when everyone leaves,
you bring it all back out, you return to being
a slob. And how it works. Let's go back to
the phones. We'll say hello to uh selleo. Michael, who's
in New York. Hello, Michael, welcome, Hey, hey, longtime blastener.
Speaker 8 (32:17):
Last time michaeled I told you my name, my full name.
I'm I'm the Cowboy's Curse. I'm the reason they haven't
done anything since the nineties. The Super Bowl.
Speaker 6 (32:25):
Yeah, you remember that. That's wild.
Speaker 8 (32:28):
So anyway, I wanted to pick the militia oath.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Tonight, I'd be more than happy to do that. And
this we want to thank our friend Skeeter in Montana
who is responsible for this oath. Skeeter, fine, gentleman in Montana.
Speaker 6 (32:42):
Out Skeeter.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Unfortunately, yeah he's not doing great right now. But Skeeter,
he demanded to be sworn in. We had the malon.
Lucia said I want to be sworn I said, there's
no way to swear in. I want to be sworn in.
So we came up with the malon Michelle oath and
here it is. So just repeat after me. Are you ready?
Are you prepared?
Speaker 5 (32:58):
There?
Speaker 8 (32:58):
Sir Michael, I am so prepared. It's gonna blow your mind.

I'll give you one. So that's awesome, amazing.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
Oh yeah, oh gas bags.
Speaker 8 (34:21):
They I'm a second shift guy. I listened to the
podcast I used to be the Overnight. That's how I
found you years ago. Overnight listen. I'll say this Overnight
you get like the music, the intro music, like it's
it's it's such a great experience to listen to the Overnights.
But the podcast you get to hear the square words.
So it's like the trade off.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Yeah, it's much like life, Michael. It's give and take.
But I'm glad thank you for still thank you for
still listening, Michael, even though you're not working the Overnight anymore.
I'm glad. You're awesome.
Speaker 8 (34:48):
Man.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Have a great week. Thank you, sir. Appreciate that. Yeah,
is Mike the man that is a living testimonial to
the nineteen nineties Dallas Cowboys. That is a great imagine.
Imagine when his parents were filling out the birth certificate
and the people are like me, are you sure about that? Yeah, Yeah,
that's the name. That's what the name we're going with,
(35:10):
all right, it is the Ben Mahlor Show. Straight Ahead.
We are going to have Mallard to the third degree.
Mallard of the third degree. Time now though for the
insta trivia, and here it is. This weekend, Eagles running
back Saquon Barkley can become the fifth player since the
year two thousand, year two thousand with at least sixteen
hundred rushing yards in his first thirteen games of a season.
(35:34):
He'll be the first player to do it since Blank. Again,
Sakwan Barkley can become just the fifth player since the
year two thousand to have at least sixteen hundred yards
rushing in his first thirteen games of a season, and
he'd be the first to do it since Blank. That
is the instant trivia, the answer, and we'll get to
that Mallard of the third degree, and we will do
it next.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows atisports radio dot

Speaker 1 (36:06):
Hey, it's Bill Miller here reminding you to support the podcast.
It's archived, every show saved for visterity's sake. It'll be
up shortly after we get done here. Also this weekend,
the fifth hour podcast with Ben and Danny g Radio
where they shamelessly promote bench TV show Benny Versus the Penny,
which will be on this weekend all over on Peacock
(36:27):
and Cable TV and whatnot. But let's get back to
the show. Make sure to download the podcast. All right,
thank you, Bill, all right, quickly quick, right time now
for the Insta Trivia and we go to the NFL
for the instant Trivia this weekend. Eagles running backs to
Kwon Barkley can become the fifth player since two thousand
with at least sixteen hundred rushing yards in the first
(36:48):
thirteen games of the season. He'd be the first to
do it since blank. That is the question. What is
the answer?
Speaker 4 (36:54):
And who do we have?
Speaker 1 (36:56):
Derek Henry guests by Rod the Ambassador of Bakersfield, Eddie Cheeseburger,
Lacy from Nick who Else, Paige Private Sham from Big
Reg and Iowa. Paul Bunyan from The Cowboy Killer. Late
Night Drug Tester says Stephanie Scott, who was twenty eight today,
that that is the answer. Jamal Charles from ekeon Roseville, Minnesota.
Great picture of Jamal Charles, mister nice guy. Going with
(37:17):
the most erratic closer in baseball history. Fernando Rodney as
his answer. Who else we have? Deshan Foster from ferg Dog.
All right, lorraina quick way.
Speaker 7 (37:27):
It is Rudolph Ben.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
It's the Marco Murray de Marco Murray. Here we go
to the third degree.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
This is one big Ben gets grilled.
Speaker 10 (37:44):
With one more win by the Buffalo Bills this season,
Sean McDermott will become only the fifth coach in NFL
history to have five straight seasons of at least eleven wins.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
Ben is McDermott underrated?
Speaker 1 (37:55):
No, No, he's I fired him two years ago, Coop,
I am, I am, alright, d a monologue. I fired
Sean McDermott. I think it was two years ago. I
might have fired him again last year. He's a fine
regular season coach. The Bills have managed to futs away
several big playoff games in this era with Josh Allen
and until they win, until they get to the super
Bowl and win the Super Bowl. I don't think he's underrated.
(38:19):
I think he's a good regular season coach. But they
got to win the big one next.
Speaker 10 (38:24):
Earlier this week, frequent FSR contributor Albert Breer predicted that
even if Russell Wilson were to make a nice playoff run,
the Steelers would not franchise tag him and actually let
him test the open market with a request that he
gives him the right to match any of any offer
that he gets. Ben, did you see it going down
this way?
Speaker 1 (38:40):
One hundred percent? There's no reason to pay Russell Wilson
a lot of money. He's not that good. Well, he
just had a big Gammigers the Beagles. Everyone has a
good game against the because they suck, all right, Russell
Wilson is he is an older quarterback. He's in his
mid thirties. You know, he doesn't throw the ball particularly
great to Mike Tommins credit and Arthur Smith. They've coached
(39:01):
him up. Good job by them, but he's replaceable. You
can find somebody else who's that level of quarterback and
not pay him all that much money. And so you know,
if it was me, I wouldn't pay him. But we'll see.
Speaker 10 (39:12):
Right next, it is being reported that the Yankees plan
B if they are unable to resign Juan Soto, is
to go after Willia Domas Ben, how would you grade
this backup plan?
Speaker 1 (39:23):
So I think they're better off getting a shovel and
digging up Joe Demagio. No, listen, I'm kidding. Obviously Willia
domas a fine player, but the Yankees, if they don't
bring back one Soto, they're gonna have to sound like
two or three guys to replace him. You know what
I'm saying. Like you have a convoy of people replacing
Juan Soto, not just Willi Adamas, who's a fine player
but not as good. How do we do, Kobbolo?
Speaker 7 (39:44):
You pass the decision that is a weird put it
on the board.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
I won the game. On the all time wins gig
I won again.
Here we go. Welcome, It's our numb bird two. Just
say the word, say the word the sum in substance
of our number two. Here it is. What is your
braction on to Eric b Enemy's dismissal from you see
La after only one year? Oh, he's not doing well
right now? Is there a lesson from Eric Beenemy's fall
from grace? He was a darling in Kansas City and
(00:23):
it's not gone so well since he left the Chiefs. Also,
Vikings Wide receiver Justin Jefferson says that he has not
spoken to Kirk Cousins once since Cousins left Minnesota in
free agency. Is this a big deal, a little deal
or no deal? Well answer that question. I mean you're
dying to know my answer. We'll get to it right now.
Here it is our number two. There is nothing bruin. No, really,
(00:47):
there is nothing bruin. Welcome. In the beginning of another
hour of the Ben Malors Show. We are in the
air everywhere, lathering on as we are the soundtrack to
your night right now, coast to coast, sport of the
(01:07):
border and beyond all the mast and noisily powerful microphones
of FSR ammating live from the shop the verbal butcher
shop of your favorite sports here as we're broadcasting live
from the tiraq dot com studios. Tiraq dot com will
help you get there an unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,
(01:31):
free road hazard protection, over ten thousand I recommended installers.
I know not a burner in Utah. Not a burner
likes the number ten thousand tract dot com the way
tirebine should be. I understand that not a burner is
leaving the dreaded graveyard shift to the horrible daytime shift.
(01:53):
We're losing not a burner, and the rule is not
a burner. When you leave the overnight shift to the
dreaded day shift, then have to get whoever replaces you
on the night shift to listen to the show, and
you have to then become a podcast listener to the program.
That's how we increase the audience. That we don't lose anyone.
We only have seven or eight people listening, so we
(02:13):
don't lose anybody. But our lead this hour is from football.
We'll certainly talk more later on about the Thursday night game.
As the Lions win on a last second field goal
over the Packers, So that game goes the way of
the Lions. The Packers a bad first half, good second half. Lions,
though dominated time of possession in Detroit despite some very
(02:36):
analytically driven play calls. They will pull it out. But
our lead this hour is from Westwood. Now, this is
not about the Wizard of Westwood. This is another you
do with UCLA basketball. I can't remember the last time
that we talked about uc LEA football, although than the
mockt when Brian Finley used to work here. But there
is you know, I'm nuts isn't working here anymore. He'd
(02:57):
be very proud of us. But there's of change howling
around the football world. It's coach change season, and the
wins have changed blue through the UCLA campus, much like
the football team blows over there. Now, normally that doesn't
even get a mention on this show. Why would it, right,
we do broadcasting, not narrow casting. But this rises to
(03:20):
the level of high crimes and misdemeanors on the Malard
monologue scale. So if you don't know by now why
I'm bringing this up, that means you haven't been paying attention.
Bad job by you. So if you don't know, let
me give you the thumbnail recap. So you see l Hey,
the gutty little Bruins of Westwood have fired offensive coordinator
(03:43):
Eric Bienemy after only one season, by bye, see you later.
The Bruins finished a dismal five and seven this season
and the Big Ten they failed to qualify for Bowl eligibility,
which is really hard to do. And and now is
this a massive deal? It depends on what side of
(04:05):
the aisle you're sitting on. The Enemy, with much fanfare,
joined new UC Dealer coach to Shaan Foster's staff after
calling plays has calling plays for the NFLS Commanders for
a season, but he's most known as the offensive coordinator
for Canzaw City and not one but two Super Bowl teams.
(04:29):
And so the Enemy the buyout worth more than one
point two million. He's also still getting paid by the
Washington Commanders, so he's like a Dodger player. He's getting
a lot of money to do nothing. But let us
discuss the question what is your riacshon your reaction to
Eric Benemy being dismissed from UCLA. So I've got phone booth,
(04:53):
staircase and sitcom experience, phone booth, staircase and sitcom experience,
and we'll lock all of these things together and we
are going to make a nice round of golf, which
Eric Banemy can play a lot of golf. Now he
doesn't have to worry about going anywhere to work because
(05:14):
he just can hang out and golf every day. So
Na Burn, that's right. Let me begin by pointing out
that Eric Banemy's agent is claiming that he was not fired.
Everyone else is saying he was fired, but enemy's agents
saying he just decided to quit on UCLA after one
year because he wanted to go back to the NFL. Now,
if you believe that you're a low information fan, you're
(05:37):
a low information fan. So Eric Benemy at this point
has to have that sinking feeling, that sinking feeling here.
This is in a masculating situation. And what he has
been able to do, I'm gonna talk to you in
cartoon terminology. He has done a reverse Superman. Now you
(05:58):
know what a reverse Robinhood is. I take from the
poor to give to the rich. But this is a
reverse Superman. He has gone into the phone booth, and
he was the NFL's whiz kid right up and coming coach.
He went into the phone booth, he exited as the
village idiot in no time at all. How bad is it?
(06:20):
The person in the back of the room mass, how
bad is it? Well, under Eric Banemy, you see, LA
ranked in the bottom percentile in every offensive category that matters.
They were one hundred and twenty six nationally among D
one schools in scoring one hundred and twenty six. They
averaged less than eighteen and a half points per game
(06:42):
this past season. They did not score more than twenty
points in their last four games. In any of those games,
they also the Bruins ranked one hundred and seventeenth in
total offense one hundred and seventeenth in total offense. They
also had the fifth worst running attack in collegiate football.
All Right, they sucked to the north, suck to the south,
they sucked to the west, they sucked to the east,
(07:03):
they sucked everywhere under Eric b Enemy. And so now
he does the walk of shame out of the UCLA
football program, and his agent is trying to spin spin, spin,
spin spin, working as a spin doctor, and that's what
an agent's supposed to do, and making it seem like, oh,
he just decided to quit after one year, which doesn't
look good. Even if that was true, that would make
(07:24):
him look terrible. I know gulible people will believe that,
But think how bad that looks like. You go to college,
like the whole point of is you're supposed to be
there and you make a commitment to the players, even
know the players are all taking nil money now and
bouncing around the country, But that doesn't matter. You're you're
the coach. You're supposed to be above that. You know,
you agree to be there, and you got to be
there for more than one year. And so either he
looks bad because he's lying through his agent, or he
(07:46):
looks bad because he quit on the UCLA football program
and should have never gone there if he only wanted
to be there for one year. Makes no sense right now?
Pitch two, Is there a lesson? Is there a lesson
from Eric b enemy and his path his journey on
the coaching circuit? So right this is a lesson plan
(08:10):
be careful what you wish for, Be careful what you
wish for the enemy. He had desigh on the prize,
and I remember we did monologues when he was in
Kansas City. If you go back to the archives, I
know Tony in the Bay Area loves listening to old shows.
So you go to listen to some of our old
shows on the podcast going back years, and people were
(08:31):
really upset that PI Enemy didn't get head coaching jobs.
And the argument was always, well, he's got to leave
Kansas City. He's got to prove that he is not
a byproduct of the coach he's under and the quarterback.
And so he goes and does what he's supposed to do.
He followed the advice. He left Kansas City to go
(08:53):
out and show the world that he's not a fraud,
that he can coach on his own, and he can
coach up players, polish some turns, make them better, and
that was the mission. But this guy was flying high
in Kansas City, and he was always the bride'smaid, never
the bride. And for head coaching jobs eighteen interviews turned
(09:14):
down for eighteen coaching jobs. Head coaching jobs eighth for eighteen,
oh for eighteen. Now I know the story about Abraham
Lincoln where Lincoln I think it was eight elections Lincoln
lost and then became such an important president that he's
he's immortalized on money. You know his history back in
(09:34):
the early days of America. But eighteen interviews no jobs,
I mean squadouche in terms of jobs. So the enemy,
he leaves Messouri, he follows the mallor advice, career advice.
He's going to prove to me, he's going to prove
to you, and he's going to prove to the NFL
that he's not just writing in the afterglow of Mahomes
(09:57):
and Andy Reid. He goes out and who goofed? I've
got to know. Ever since then, he's been bouncing down
a never ending staircase. Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce,
lower and lower and lower and lower and lower and lower.
Just like that, he bet on himself and he has
(10:19):
been betrayed by the man in the mirror. The man
in the mirror has betrayed him. The Washington football team
his one season was twenty fourth in offense, twenty where
they were worse with him than the year before, with
the same crappy players. They were worse with him than
(10:41):
the year before he arrived. And then we gave you
the numbers earlier on UCLA. They speak for themselves and
how terrible, terrible they are. All right, final point, We
now get in the plane and we're gonna fly to
Minnesota where Femi is the number one uber each driver.
(11:02):
We've got our buddy, you know, Eke there and Roseville, Minnesota,
Rob and Minnesota. Get a lot of our friends there
in Minnesota. So that is also where this weekend it's
the Kirk Cousins revenge game. Who the former Purple People
Eaters quarterback.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
He's back.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
He's returning to his old stomping grounds. He'll be wearing
different laundry. We'll be wearing different laundry, the Atlanta Falcon laundry.
And in lead up to this game, I thought this
was interesting. Steve, who lives in Saint Paul, sent this
to me. I did not see this, so thank you, Steve.
This interview with Justin Jefferson, the Vikings wide receiver. Justin
(11:39):
Jefferson was interviewed this week and says that he has
not spoken to Kirk Cousins one time, not spoken to
him one time since he left the Minnesota football team
in free agency to go to Atlanta. Not one conversation.
Is this a big deal, a little deal or no deal?
(12:02):
So I have this as I jotted down. No deal,
all right, it's to be expected and the reason it's
to be expected is because I'm an adult and I've
lived jobs, and I've you know, I work in radio.
They fire people all the time, as you guys learned,
unfortunately we all learned again, it's very unstable business. Uh,
the business I'm in. And so I've worked with a
(12:22):
lot of people that have come and gone to my
life and they're work friends. So the fact that all
is quiet on the Western Front is not a surprise
because in the real world, you're not getting what I
call the sitcom experience. Back in the when people sho
watch sitcoms, you watch the boob Tube and all those
old sitcoms. You know, people would work together. You go out, yeah,
(12:43):
you know, go have some Bruce Kis after work, you
go bowling with your buddies from work. You know, you're
like you live in the same building, you know, and
all that. That's the sitcom experience. In the real world,
you have work friends who are not real friends. They're colleagues, right,
they're not real friends. I'll give you alf I I
have a holiday party. It's actually coming up this weekend,
(13:04):
and I always make an effort to invite people that
I liked a lot, that I worked with. They were
my work friends, and the ones that show up tell
me that they're actually not just work friends. They actually
there's like a real friendship. Most of them don't show
up though, because they were work friends. I get it.
I totally get it because they're not real friends, because
a real friend will make an effort to be there
(13:25):
and show up, but fake friends, the colleagues, they will
not show up, and so there is a different in that.
And then the other thing is like Cousins is older
than Jefferson. There's a big age gap there. So they're
in different parts of the circle of life. And it's
like you chit chat with a co worker and you
talk about a lot of in a normal job, you
(13:46):
talk about stuff on the surface, right, so, hell, how
was your weekend? Hey, what are you doing this week?
And all that kind of stuff. But there's nothing really
deep going on there. And if you were really in trouble,
do you think you're the person you work with your
work friend would really help you? Probably not right. And
so the idea that Justin Jefferson is not buddy buddy
(14:08):
with Kirk Cousins, it would be surprising if they were friends,
because they were just work friends. They were colleagues. That's
all they were, all right, is the Ben Mahler Show.
If you want to comme out on any of that,
you are more than welcome to Joyce. Also the be
Enemy thing. Tough tough day for the race baders. There
were a lot of race baiders. I saw some of
(14:28):
these clips you guys were sending me. The people that
were convinced Eric Bienemy wasn't getting head coaching jobs because
he's black, and then now he's failed at an NFL
job and a college job, and so they were playing
some of these old clips and they were so so cringeworthy.
They were hilarious, like the race baiders in the media
that were just over the top. My god. All right, anyway,
(14:49):
if you want to be part of this eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven nine nine
six six three sixty nine, also on X at Ben Mahler,
that is at Ben Mahler, if you'd like to interact
with the live radio program, do it live here all night?
Do it live. What is the time of the year.
(15:11):
A lot of people at work through that secret Santa thing. Well,
holiday gift season is upon us. Even in professional sports.
They even do it and this is not a secret
Santa story, but I still thought it was amusing enough
to share with you. What is I'm very vague because
(15:31):
I will share that with you. We'll get to it,
and we will do it next.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Maler
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
Oh the weather outside is frightful, but Malor is so delightful,
So turn on your radio. Listen to the Ben Mahler Show. Wow,
Roberto Fines, Drops, Forge, Dropping, who to Loop always keeps
(16:15):
Things hopping, Classic Tune and Eddies a total pro.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
The names of Change. Listen to the shows. The show
is I Bill Miller reminding you to spread holiday joy
one single, one single message at a time on the
X machine. I send your message in and say hello
to Bend at Van Mallord. That is at Bean Mallard.
(16:42):
You say hi, you do, Cooper LOOFU may or may
not answer your calls at all, Bronco Fan and Loreina FSR.
Listen to Tech.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
Queen ben Man.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Show. And now back to that you almost hit the post. There,
Oh there it is o ho ho ho ho ho
ho ho. Well, Jason the Diamond Man rights in. He says, Ben,
do you believe that Scott Morris is giving the Yankees
the best last chance to match or beat any one
(17:19):
Soto offers? I have honestly no clue. Well, from what
I understand, Soto is going to go to the highest bidder.
So if that's the case, you have to have some
kind of deadline here. The Winter Meetings are coming up,
and the assumption this is gonna be done by the
Winter Meetings, as teams have to a they have to
(17:40):
spend that money elsewhere. They're not gonna wait forever on
one Sodo Right's I wouldn't pay him, but hey, it
ain't my money, and somebody's gonna payim a ton of money.
I hate I hate these huge contracts, and I realize
I'm I'm hypocritical. So the Dodgers do this with everybody,
like everyone's got a ten year contract. I just think
it's terrible, long run. But the Dodger have been able
to pull it off. They've won World Series with the
(18:01):
Mookie Bets contract. They won a World Series with Gough Tani.
As long as you win one World Series, I'm okay
with it. I don't love it, but I'm okay with it.
But you gotta win one World Series. That's the male rule.
The mal rule is, if you give out a ten
or fifteen year contract, you gotta get me one World
series at least one. And if I don't get one,
I'm not getting my money's worth. Like Mike Trout didn't
(18:22):
give the Angels their money's worth because he signed a
forever contract and the guy's a stiff. Those are rules
that he no, those are not those are my rules,
and those and those are the rules. Very simple. Now
get to Mike Trout's better at giving the weather than
he is playing baseball right now, and the Angel signed
him for one of those you know, forever contracts, and
he sucks, and so he didn't give them return on investment,
(18:44):
and no one's buying ticks to watch him play baseball.
But as far as to get to the point about
Juan Soto, if I'm Scott Boris, what do you do?
Who's got more money to burn? The Yankees and the Mets?
So I would The play here is to get the
final offer from the Yankees, say everyone submit final offers.
Then go to the Mets and say I'd like fifty
(19:05):
million dollars more than the other offer. There's a tax
you have to pay. It said that people call it
the suck tax. Now, the Mets don't suck, but in
New York sports, compared to the Yankees, they're you know,
they're the the lower level baseball team in New York, right,
They're the lower level team, and so it's got hobbies.
So if you're you're, you're like, I'll play for the Mets,
but you gotta pay me fifteen million extra, fifteen million extra.
(19:29):
Alf the alien Opiners says, I thought we were work friends. Yeah,
well we are. We are work friends. Though is Alf
coming to the holiday party?
Speaker 4 (19:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
There's a better chance he shows up than Coop. Though
I know that king Ry writes and says, since LA
sports teams love to hire podcast as as coaches, I
know just the guys UCLA should hire, or just the
guy rather. Brian Finley, Well, I know he's not working
here anymore, so he's available if you want to hire him,
and he would do about as well as JJ Reddick
(19:59):
is doing with the Lakers. I'm just saying about it.
We want to do it with Brian Fenley yeah, all right,
be wonderful. Who else Eugene in Chicago rights since has
been It looks like Eric Benemy isn't a race issue.
The enemy must have an attitude issue, must be a
complete jackass who is not willing to adopt to today's generation. Well, yeah,
(20:22):
who knows what's true? You hear stories. Who knows. There's
also supposedly some baggage in his past that would be
a problem. I don't know if that's still a problem, right,
And it depends. I guess who's investigating and whatnot. But
Eloy from Compton writes and says I can almost guarantee you.
Eloy says he's a Chiefs fan, almost guarantee you that
(20:43):
Eric Benemy returns to Kansas City as an offensive consultant.
When he was there, our offense was always top five
in the league. Maybe the missing piece to that three feet.
I think Tyreek Hill is on the other line. He'd
like to have a word with your Tyreek Hill. I'm
just saying Tyreek's online two. We'd like to talk to Eloy. Yeah.
Robin Minnesota says Kirk Cousins is a poopy head. Everyone
(21:08):
at the Viking Stadium will give him a long standing ovation.
But the bottom line is, poop the loop. We still
haven't won a Super Bowl, so Cousins can just go
away in my opinion, Yeah, well, and he'll get a
standing ovation. He's gonna get a standing ovation because of
the fact that that's uh, that's Minnesota nice, is what
(21:30):
that is? That's Minnesota nice. So he's gonna get a
standing ovation because of that. Uh, let's see who do
we have here? Well, mat Manuel's talking trash to Gunner
there in Minnesota, late night drug tester, right, since is uh,
don't think Andy Reid has enough room to rehab another
offensive coordinator. Also, I heard Doug Peterson has called about
potential openings. Yeah, they can line them up the Andy
(21:54):
Reid coaching tree, not the not the greatest tree that
does it? Not as bad as Belichick? Right, is not
as bad as the Belichick tree. It isn't that great.
Midnight Walker writes in from Syracuse. Although he's a Viking fan,
he says Kirk Cousin stole the Vikings money for many,
many years, such a fraud he nearly drove us Viking
(22:15):
fans to tears. Anything good and anything good about this
bum is just unfounded. Come Sunday. I can't just can't
wait for that loser to get pounded. Wow, all right,
ferg Dog writes in and says a plus plus on
the Malla monologue. My favorite part was the shout out
(22:35):
you gave to the numb nuts, Brian Finley. If you're
a Bruin Hank like me, you got to enjoy that
at Bruin Talk show. Well, I'm sure, and let me
guess it was saying how great all season? Eric Bman
he is and the enemy's a wonderful coach. And my
name is Brian Finley. I'm a jack sniffer, and I
approve of this message. All right, Let's go to Dave,
(22:58):
who is in the Commonwealth, and he is up next. Hello, Dave, welcome.
You were on Fox Sports Radius, the Ben mallor Showy
Ben Olia, Dave. If I was any better, Dave, I
would be I would be Juan Soto and I'd be
about to sign a six hundred million dollar contract. But
I'm not so.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
Yeah, signs with the with the batay. Speaking of that,
speaking of baseball in the heart, so how about this?
Speaker 6 (23:28):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (23:29):
I bumped into a Sir Peter Gammon yesterday at the
or Wednesday at the liquor store. I was standing behind
him and I said, hey, you know this guy, what
do you think Peter Gammons just drinking these days?
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Scotch? I think Peter Gammon is drinking scotch.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
Way off, way off. I'll tell you what it's. It's
pretty white. He's drinking. He's drinking sods, he's drinking beers.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Old I was. And now, Lorena, do you know who
Peter Gammons is? Lorena?
Speaker 7 (24:04):
No, I've never heard of Peter Dinklin.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
What who do you think Peter Gammons is, Lorena.
Speaker 7 (24:12):
Well maybe he's the inventor of backgammon.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Yeah, see, Dave, Lorena does not have the sports gene. Uh,
she's lacking that. But yeah, Gammons is really old. And
he was old when he was on TV. When I
was a kid, he was old. And now he's a
baseball guy. Baseball Insidia. I don't say, Coop. We want
to take a guess what Peter Gammons was drinking at
the according to Dave, And again we have no way
(24:38):
of verifying this, but I want to believe it. I
want to believe. Yeah. Yeah, but it's very random to right,
Why would you call up an overnight show with that
story about Peter Gammons of all people? Right, so I
say there must be some truth somewhere. There's got a
kernel of truth.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
What was this establishment?
Speaker 5 (24:56):
Uh, it's called North Founous Workers down in Cape Cod
in Massachusetts, a little peninsula, all right.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
So he's on the cape and that's where all the
rich people are hanging out in the Cape. Right, So
he's enjoying himself, living his greatest life. He made all
that ESPN money, so he's rich and whatnot. What do
you think he was drinking.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
I think he was having a long Island iced tea.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
No, it was beer. It was like perhaps about that
past was when it.
Speaker 8 (25:19):
Was that you're on the right track, damn.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Ben, I am on the right of no way. He's
still like bitter beer, face loo please lorraina? What kind
of beer? You don't know who this is. But he's
an old man and he used to talk about baseball
a lot. And he's on the Cape. So he's like rich,
and he's at a liquor store, a small liquor store.
What do you think he buys.
Speaker 7 (25:42):
Miller?
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Miller? She's a question mark. At the end of.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
Mister Gammon, and he was a very nice gentleman, very cordial,
said a load on me and everything he bought.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Move, Oh the blue what's wrong with that? I like
blue Moon? What's wrong with you? Got a problem with
blue Moon?
Speaker 3 (26:04):
No problem with that?
Speaker 5 (26:06):
I just I don't know. I just thought it was
kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
What did you expect him? What did you expect him
to be drinking?
Speaker 5 (26:12):
Drinking Blue Moon these days in a sixth pack? Cordial?
Speaker 1 (26:19):
That's nice, that's good. He was nice to you. That
was That was nice of him. And it's a nice
Belgium style beer. I am my rotation the Blue Moon. Yeah,
it was.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
Uh, I've enjoyed it.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Yeah, he was. He was a very nice no good
I bet you. I'll bet you know that. Now do
you live out there, Dave? Or you do you live
on the Cape? Is that where your your base?
Speaker 5 (26:41):
I worked on the Cape. I live off CA.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Okay, Okay, So so I'm assuming this is true there
because I know in l A. You know, there's a
lot of celebrities obviously live in l A, and people
go and they drive by their houses. But if you
really want to see celebrities in l A, there's a
Whole Foods grocery store where they all shop at right
near where we work the studio, and that's like they're
all hanging out there shopping, eating, you know, buying tomatoes
(27:06):
and stuff like that. And I bet you the same
thing on the Cape right probably there's like a local
market there and they're out there buying their their apples
or whatever, and they're enjoying themselves. So that's the way
to go. All right, A great story there. Who who
doesn't want to hear a story about Peter Gammon drinking
blue Moon at a small liquor store in the Cape.
That's a great story, Dave.
Speaker 8 (27:23):
You know, I thought a little bit you did.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
You know, I'm giving you a golden ticket. I need
more content like that. I need that in my life.
Speaker 5 (27:33):
I would like to talk about the holiday party, the
company holiday party.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
But yeah, okay, I called back for that. Please, we
don't have time for that. But thank you. They don't
want to bowguart all the time. That'd be wrong of you, Bogart.
Speaker 7 (27:46):
At the time, it was very festive, very festive.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Yeah, the big shots fluid on their private jets there, Lorena.
They were all hanging out.
Speaker 7 (27:55):
Yeah, they were there.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Get any FaceTime with the big powerful people there.
Speaker 7 (28:00):
Oh yeah, I spent some time with mister Shapiro.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Yeah, it's time there.
Speaker 7 (28:05):
And I saw the other ones, but I didn't really
talk to anyone.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
The other ones. That's what they're doing the other ones. Yes,
I often when I see them, I'll say, hey, you're
the other one, and.
Speaker 7 (28:15):
Yeah, other ones don I met in person again, there's
a name.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
My man. Yeah, great, Down. I love that. I've known
Down for a long time. Yeah.
Speaker 9 (28:26):
So they had the food set out really weird, normally
like a buffet.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Right, did they cut the appetizers in half or something
like that or no?
Speaker 9 (28:35):
But everyone was just sitting at the tables, and so
then they put the food at the tables, so it
looked like everyone had entrees, but they weren't entres, like
you were supposed to go up and take food off
of random tables.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Oh yeah, that's awkward.
Speaker 9 (28:51):
And I'm like, hi, people, I don't know, can I
have this chicken wing that's not yours?
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Were people giving you this think eye?
Speaker 4 (28:59):
Like what do you do?
Speaker 7 (29:00):
No one gave me the stinaky ben.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Of course not. I mean the rain. But if I
did that, if I was there, it would have been, oh,
look at this ugly man coming over here, trying to
take our food.
Speaker 9 (29:08):
It was so though, when they were bringing fresh stuff
out of the kitchen, I grabbed a whole plate of
chicken wings for myself.
Speaker 7 (29:13):
That's not I was like, out of your hand.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Man, all right? And did they consistently bring out the appetizers?
Speaker 7 (29:22):
Was we holiday currently bringing out?
Speaker 1 (29:25):
I suppose did they cut it off at a certain point,
did they say no more, we reached our quota of appetizers.
Speaker 9 (29:32):
Even when I was leaving, people were still getting nachos
and things.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Yeah, well, I will go to these holidays. I used
to go to them back in the old days, but
I will go to them again if they're ever at
a time I can actually attend them. But they're not
really convenient.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
For Yeah, I've never been to one of them.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
You've never gotten sleeping.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
I mean it's it's literally at the studio.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
At three pm, yeah, which is when when you do overnights.
It's that's not a good time. No.
Speaker 10 (30:00):
And then even if you were to just like go on,
you know, less sleep and go to the party, then
the party is over and there's still like five hours
before the show.
Speaker 7 (30:10):
Turn out the party is over.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
There's nowhere to sleep. It's not like they have a
sleep right exactly. You're stocked.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Actually that that's a great idea.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Tell Scott, put a sleep room in. Yes, And there's
a lot of empty offices up there. They got rid
of people, that's true. A sleeper room somewhere, you know,
put that in it. Put a bed in there.
Speaker 7 (30:27):
I brought my blow up mattress bend.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Oh you did. It's very nice. Did you put in
like Jim Rome's old studio or something like that?
Speaker 4 (30:34):
Whatever?
Speaker 5 (30:34):
One?
Speaker 1 (30:34):
The new studio is the new studio? What?
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Okay?
Speaker 7 (30:38):
What is the new studio the one that was renovated,
you know, the new.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
One, which is the old one?
Speaker 7 (30:43):
Right, just like this used to be the old one?
Announced the new one.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Well, no, this was never the old one. This was
the old The studio right now is the Limbaugh Studio,
the Steve Harvey limbost I.
Speaker 7 (30:51):
Don't know where I am.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Yeah. Limbaugh was so powerful at the Premiere Networks Rush.
Limbaugh made so much money for the company. He did
shows from La maybe two weeks a year, and Rush
at his own studio that no one could go in
with a golden microphone and nobody could mess with it, right,
and he only used it. Yeah, Golden Micra And I
remember with the years that Rush would show up, and
(31:12):
it was when it was limball week. You know, everyone
had to dress up. You know, we all just like
slobs and like everyone's got to dress up. You know,
kiss Rush sees you and all that stuff. And Rush
would come in. He'd get dropped off from a limo
and he'd walk in smoking a cigar. You know, he
didn't give a crap about ay that. I just wanted
to do a show and get the hell out of there.
But it was so funny how everyone was like paranoid
about you got to press Rush and all that stuff
back in the day show. Yeah, and your best behavior.
(31:36):
It's kind of like when you have a you have
an event at your house, right, you clean up the house.
You make sure it looks good. It's not how it
normally looks, but you make it look nice when people
are coming over out.
Speaker 9 (31:45):
Have you ever had all your coats out and you're
just show them in the closet?
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Oh yeah, well yeah that's why you Like you have
an extra room or garage or something like that, you
just throw stuff in the Yeah, and then when everyone leaves,
you bring it all back out, you return to being
a slob. And how it works. Let's go back to
the phones. We'll say hello to uh selleo. Michael, who's
in New York. Hello, Michael, welcome, Hey, hey, longtime blastener.

Speaker 8 (34:48):
Man.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Have a great week. Thank you, sir. Appreciate that. Yeah,
is Mike the man that is a living testimonial to
the nineteen nineties Dallas Cowboys. That is a great imagine.
Imagine when his parents were filling out the birth certificate
and the people are like me, are you sure about that? Yeah, Yeah,
that's the name. That's what the name we're going with,
(35:10):
all right, it is the Ben Mahlor Show. Straight Ahead.
We are going to have Mallard to the third degree.
Mallard of the third degree. Time now though for the
insta trivia, and here it is. This weekend, Eagles running
back Saquon Barkley can become the fifth player since the
year two thousand, year two thousand with at least sixteen
hundred rushing yards in his first thirteen games of a season.
(35:34):
He'll be the first player to do it since Blank. Again,
Sakwan Barkley can become just the fifth player since the
year two thousand to have at least sixteen hundred yards
rushing in his first thirteen games of a season, and
he'd be the first to do it since Blank. That
is the instant trivia, the answer, and we'll get to
that Mallard of the third degree, and we will do
it next.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows atisports radio dot
com and within the iHeartRadio app search FSR to listen live.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Hey, it's Bill Miller here reminding you to support the podcast.
It's archived, every show saved for visterity's sake. It'll be
up shortly after we get done here. Also this weekend,
the fifth hour podcast with Ben and Danny g Radio
where they shamelessly promote bench TV show Benny Versus the Penny,
which will be on this weekend all over on Peacock
(36:27):
and Cable TV and whatnot. But let's get back to
the show. Make sure to download the podcast. All right,
thank you, Bill, all right, quickly quick, right time now
for the Insta Trivia and we go to the NFL
for the instant Trivia this weekend. Eagles running backs to
Kwon Barkley can become the fifth player since two thousand
with at least sixteen hundred rushing yards in the first
(36:48):
thirteen games of the season. He'd be the first to
do it since blank. That is the question. What is
the answer?
Speaker 4 (36:54):
And who do we have?
Speaker 1 (36:56):
Derek Henry guests by Rod the Ambassador of Bakersfield, Eddie Cheeseburger,
Lacy from Nick who Else, Paige Private Sham from Big
Reg and Iowa. Paul Bunyan from The Cowboy Killer. Late
Night Drug Tester says Stephanie Scott, who was twenty eight today,
that that is the answer. Jamal Charles from ekeon Roseville, Minnesota.
Great picture of Jamal Charles, mister nice guy. Going with
(37:17):
the most erratic closer in baseball history. Fernando Rodney as
his answer. Who else we have? Deshan Foster from ferg Dog.
All right, lorraina quick way.
Speaker 7 (37:27):
It is Rudolph Ben.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
It's the Marco Murray de Marco Murray. Here we go
to the third degree.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
This is one big Ben gets grilled.
Speaker 10 (37:44):
With one more win by the Buffalo Bills this season,
Sean McDermott will become only the fifth coach in NFL
history to have five straight seasons of at least eleven wins.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
Ben is McDermott underrated?
Speaker 1 (37:55):
No, No, he's I fired him two years ago, Coop,
I am, I am, alright, d a monologue. I fired
Sean McDermott. I think it was two years ago. I
might have fired him again last year. He's a fine
regular season coach. The Bills have managed to futs away
several big playoff games in this era with Josh Allen
and until they win, until they get to the super
Bowl and win the Super Bowl. I don't think he's underrated.
(38:19):
I think he's a good regular season coach. But they
got to win the big one next.
Speaker 10 (38:24):
Earlier this week, frequent FSR contributor Albert Breer predicted that
even if Russell Wilson were to make a nice playoff run,
the Steelers would not franchise tag him and actually let
him test the open market with a request that he
gives him the right to match any of any offer
that he gets. Ben, did you see it going down
this way?
Speaker 1 (38:40):
One hundred percent? There's no reason to pay Russell Wilson
a lot of money. He's not that good. Well, he
just had a big Gammigers the Beagles. Everyone has a
good game against the because they suck, all right, Russell
Wilson is he is an older quarterback. He's in his
mid thirties. You know, he doesn't throw the ball particularly
great to Mike Tommins credit and Arthur Smith. They've coached
(39:01):
him up. Good job by them, but he's replaceable. You
can find somebody else who's that level of quarterback and
not pay him all that much money. And so you know,
if it was me, I wouldn't pay him. But we'll see.
Speaker 10 (39:12):
Right next, it is being reported that the Yankees plan
B if they are unable to resign Juan Soto, is
to go after Willia Domas Ben, how would you grade
this backup plan?
Speaker 1 (39:23):
So I think they're better off getting a shovel and
digging up Joe Demagio. No, listen, I'm kidding. Obviously Willia
domas a fine player, but the Yankees, if they don't
bring back one Soto, they're gonna have to sound like
two or three guys to replace him. You know what
I'm saying. Like you have a convoy of people replacing
Juan Soto, not just Willi Adamas, who's a fine player
but not as good. How do we do, Kobbolo?
Speaker 7 (39:44):
You pass the decision that is a weird put it
on the board.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
I won the game. On the all time wins gig
I won again.
