Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Welcome, It's ourn.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
B four.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Our four is at your door. It's your ears door.
And here it is on this Thursday, the twelfth day
of December, Little Thursday Night, NFL Tonight, the Rams and
the forty nine ers. But our lead story is from
Joe Burrow going public with his advice to the Bengals
to extend Jamar Chase and t Higgins putting pressure on ownership.
(00:31):
How much weight does this have? Also, Brown's owner Jimmy
Haslam as we stay in Ohio express support for Kevin
Stefanski and Andrew Barry. What level of importance do you
give this? And do you expect Al Michaels to have
one of those goodbye tours when he's done broadcasting on
(00:51):
the Amazon. We'll get to all that and more. It
is a Newbie Night. Hooray for Newbie Night. Have a
wonderful Thursday. Here it is our number for a call
to action, But will the call be answered? Welcome in
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malors Show
(01:14):
on a Newbie Night. That's right. We are in the
air everywhere, fellow townspeople. As we are. We're sports and
suspense collide coast the coast border the voter and beyond
on the mast and outspokenly powerful microphones of FSR emminating
(01:38):
live from the dream. So we're living the dream. We're
broadcasting live from the tyraq dot com studios. Tyraq dot
com will help you get there and unmatched selection, fast
free shipping, free road has a protection over ten thousand
recommended and stars. A guy Ohio Al has said about
ten thousand songs in over the years. Ty raq dot
(01:59):
com the way tire buying should be. Now we do
that Mallard meet and greet. We hope do one in
Ohio in twenty twenty five. Lord Willin and Dick and
Dayton big star call. But we gotta give ohio Al
some love as well. Man, this guy has sent so
many songs and jingles and whatnot. He loves the show
and he's a very talented musician and a lot of
these parody songs have come from Ohio Al. So I'm
(02:22):
going to make sure that he shows up if we
make that happen next year. But our lead this hour now,
it's not about Bill Belichick again, although we will take
your calls. The big news of the night in the overnight,
people reacting all night long. Bill Belichick for now, for
now agreeing to coach North Carolina the official official announcement.
(02:43):
Everything has to be signed and the tea's cross the
eyes dotted later today and by the time I wake up,
that should be all done in Belichick will go off
on his merry way to North Carolina and start paying
players with nil money. So we'll see how that goes.
But our lead this hour is from a different football story,
(03:06):
but it also involves money. It also involves money, and
so that's a good thing. That's a good thing. How
about the story involving the Natty That would be Northern
Kentucky slash Southern Ohio Cincinnati to be exact. A decree
has come down yet again, for the second time in
as many days, from a quarterback Joe Burrow. If you
(03:28):
did not hear the initial decree, maybe you missed it.
Joe Borrow, Joe Burrow, quarterback of your Cincinnati Bengals, is
looking to crack the whip. He wants that whip. He's
cracking the whip on the Bengal ownership over their plans
to keep the band together. And the Bengals are a
(03:49):
bad team. They are a bad basketball team, the Cincinnati Bankals, right,
we know that or a basketball team football team, they'd
be a bad basketball team too, But they're a bad
football team. And yet Burrow's demanding that these guys come back.
He's publicly advocated for T Higgins. Now he has added
Jamar Chase, making it very clear that he is expecting
(04:11):
both of them to be signed long term before next
NFL season kicks off. So let us discuss the question
Joe Burrow going public with free advice, free advice to
the Cincinnati ben Gals to extend Jamar Chase and T Higgins,
both of them, wants both there. How much weight does
(04:35):
this have? How much weight does all of this have?
That is the question. What is the answer, And we
will throw together. Now we have on this one a
hodgepodge of goodness. We've got not only cigarette lighter, we've
(04:56):
got human Shield and Metallica. So again, Joe Burrow going
public giving advice to the Bengals ownership to extend Jamar
Chase and T Higgins this week. How much weight does
that have? So combine all these things together and we
are going to make a wish and a prayer, because
that's about as good a chance as this has of happening,
(05:19):
so to kick off the amount of weight that it has.
Joe Burrow is the franchise quarterback of the Cincinnati ben Gals,
and he's doing everything he can to air out some
dirty laundry here. However, it's a lightweight. There's not a
lot of weight now. Joe Burrow weighs about two hundred
and twenty pounds, give or take, and it doesn't weigh
(05:42):
that much. We file this one under the guise of
constructive criticism by Joe Burrow. He clearly does not understand
who he is dealing with. The evil forces in charge.
The Ben Gals are a mom and pop operation. We
always talk about old family in sports and how it's
(06:02):
much different than somebody knew that buys a team. For example,
the New York Metropolitans in baseball, Steve Cohen, he made
his money on the backs of hedge funds. That's new money.
He's spending all of it he can on the Mets.
If it was old money, that would not be the case.
And the same thing goes in football with the Cincinnati Bengals.
(06:22):
There it's old family money. The ownership group does not
flash their jewelry they keep their family jewels in a
safety deposit box. That's what they do here. And in
the cartoon bubble above my head, in the cartoon bubble
but my head, Joe Burrow is holding a cigarette lighter
and he's trying to light a fire under the tukas
(06:46):
of the ownership. And this has a very high whiff rate.
So a wing badah saw wing on a whiff a
very high a whiff weight rate. And listen, I give
Burrow a little puffy I'll gi him a little puffy
sticker near his name for trying new cores action, so
I know he's trying. Unfortunately, you're not that guy, Pal,
(07:09):
I don't care how good a quarterback you are. You're
not that guy. Right. You gotta pick your poison. You
can have one, you can't have both. You keep Jamar Chase,
you keep Ti Higgins. I think we know the answer.
The Chase is on that. That's the guy. That's the guy.
Can't have both. One of them's gone, t Higgins, Gonzo Gonzo.
(07:30):
All right, Now furthermore we stay in Ohio, but we
go now a little bit further north, well actually much
further north, in the Roust Belt where the Cleveland Browns
owner Jimmy Haslam has made his own statement about the
future of the franchise. Jimmy Haslam, the truck stop mogul,
said that he has support for both coach Kevin Stefanski
(07:53):
and the general Manrew Andrew Barry. So I asked the
question of the esteem panel, what level of importance do
you give Jimmy Haslam, the owner of the Cleveland football team,
coming out and saying, oh, yeah, I support these guys.
I support these guys. So I give this one the circle.
(08:15):
I give it to the old circle there because as
in Jimmy Haslam, the owner there in Cleveland, also said
that he plans to quote look at everything close quote
after the season, which where I come from. If you
say you're going to look at everything, that means you're
going to circle. You're going to circle back and examine
(08:37):
the GM and examine the coach again, and watch out
for the dreaded vote of confience. Now does this count
as a vote of confidence? That's helping to interpretation. But
the outlook, you know, I'm not a weather man. I'll
tell you more about that in a minute. I'm not
a weather man. But the forecast for the Browns is gloomy, gloomy, gloomy, gloomy, gloomy, gloomy, gloomy, gloomy.
(08:57):
Now here's the thing. Things are going so terribly from
a football perspective that the owner has to come out
and clear clear the message to everyone in the public that,
you know, I'd rather not look for a new coach.
You're not doing a good job. But I don't really
want to. I don't feel like looking for a new coach.
(09:18):
I don't really feel that. Not feeling that that's kind
of the kind of the way it is. But but
things are at the point now where Jimmy Haslam with
Stefanski and the GM there in Cleveland, they both work
as human shields. They run interference, they run the naked
bootleg to protect him and he's insulated and the owner's insulates.
(09:41):
I said, well, listen, this is what Andrew Berry wanted,
the GM and Kevin Stefanski I was in my call.
I'm just the owner. I'm a hands off owner. That's
how I operate. Pulling the strings. Mean, why is the
puppeteer behind the scenes pulling the strings? Jimmy Haslam and
Haslam has these cats again, they're human shields is what
they are. They are human shields. I go back to
(10:03):
that he made a faustian bargain to get to Shaun
Watson from Houston, and it has gone about as poorly
as you possibly go. Outside of Deshaun Watson actually being
arrested with a crime or committing some kind of higher crime.
They still owe him another two years guaranteed by two years.
(10:23):
And the number on that is I think it's over
forty six million or around forty six million every year
guaranteed money for the next two years. All right, Now,
last thing, last thing again, you're gonna look at everything.
That means you're looking at the coach, You're looking at
the gym. Now we move on from that to the
broadcast booth. Tonight is a NFL night tonight on this Thursday,
(10:44):
the Niners and the Lrims an old school NFC West
Brew haha, and they are locking horns in the Bay
Area and that game will be broadcast on the Amazon.
And I bring that up because Legend play by play
announcer Al Michaels is expected to return next season to
(11:08):
the broadcast booth. He will be part of Amazon Primes
NFL coverage in twenty twenty five. It was revealed this week.
Now we are told that Michael's three year contract with
the Amazon concludes at the end of this season. Is
only a couple of weeks ago, but both he and
the muckety MUCKs at the Amazon believe he will be
(11:31):
back in the same exact role, same time, same streaming
platform next season. Michaels is eighty years old, he's earning
fifteen million dollars a year under the current broadcast agreement,
must be nice, and he plans to take things year
by year, year by year, not day by day, not
(11:55):
week by week, not month by month, year by year
in terms of his podcasting. So that got us thinking,
just throwing this out there. When the time does come,
do you expect Al Michaels to have one of those
hokey good buy tours where you go around and people
kiss your ass and give your gifts. Do you think
(12:19):
he'll be that guy? You're that guy, Pal, You're that
So I'm gonna go no, maybe I'll be wrong, Maybe
I'll be wrong with this. Al does not strike me
as the look at me guy, even though he stays
at luxury hotels and he certainly loves to hear himself talk,
as many people do who are broadcasters. I don't look
at Al Michaels as the kind of guy that's gonna
(12:42):
be out there saying, okay, all right, I need you
to give me my flowers. No, no, he is more Metallica,
as in the tune fade to Black, that he's just
gonna kind of that's it, that's all disappear and see
(13:03):
you later when you cross the rubicon at age eighty.
Everything is on the table, right, everything is on the table.
While your young punks like to rip. I guarantee you
during the broadcast tonight, people be ripping Al Michaels. But
for me and I only really care about myself like
(13:25):
everyone else. You care about you, I care about me.
Al Michaels is nostalgia. It's a bit of a dopamine
hit with Al Michaels, and he keeps going. No, not
as good, so good guys out with his guts and guyle.
He doesn't have that heater, doesn't have that fastball anymore.
He can paint the quarters and deliver body blows, body blows,
(13:46):
body blows in the broadcast. So I'm all for it.
Another year of Al Michaels way to go? Why not?
Speaker 3 (13:54):
All right?
Speaker 1 (13:55):

X machine at Ben Mahlor. That's at Ben Mahler if
you want to be part of the program. So Bill
Belichick is heading off to North Carolina, supposedly, and there's
another NFL coaching job that is getting closer and closer
(14:59):
to opening up. Let's just say there's an NFL coach
twisting in the wind, and based on the commentary of
said NFL coach's owner, things are not looking particularly good.
Things are not looking particularly good. We'll get to that,
and we will.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Do it.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Next.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Watch out the Now we don't cry, the now We're
down't pouch. I'm telling you why the left broock Con
is coming down. He's making you all listen, be checking
it twice. He's gonna find out if Florena is nice.
The le brock Con is coming down.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
He really needs music. I've noticed that there needs to
be some kind of music underneath.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
It's because again that's the wrong lyric.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
We need to take that lyric out. Coop pounce all
the time. Come on, you're a liar. I've never seen
the lepreg You never met the leprecaun. I met the
left ground. It's I Bill Miller. And a reminder to
interact with the live radio show, even on a newbie night.
All men, women and children are welcome to interact and
(16:34):
do nothing. Kids love more than overnight talk radio. But
you can say a lot of Ben at Ben Maller
Coop do Loop A Bronco fan and Loraina f SR
Tech Queen all that on X and and now we
get back to bloviating Benny. Well Bill, it's actually it's
Benny and part of Benny Versus Benny, which we have
(16:55):
a new episode later today. I know you're I love
you don't really love me, weed man. You know he's
never watched the show because I don't think he can
find a stream to watch it on. I think that's
why he doesn't watch the show. I think that's part
of the problem. So an NFL coach twisting in the
wind will get to that it is a newbie night.
Also a clerical move will go there as well. Cowboy
(17:18):
Drew writes in from the farm in Minnesota, where he
is keeping track of the cow named Mallard. There's the
malar cow and Cowboy Drew, I need regular photos of
my my heifer. Not touch my cow. Okay, that's my heifer. Yeah,
that's not your half, that's mine. It's like those infomercials
(17:39):
where you like, send money and they send you photos
of the sick children and all that stuff. I want
photos of my cow. I want every week. I want
a new photo of my cow. I want to see
how my cow is doing. I want to make sure
my cow doesn't have all flies all over it and
it's all disgusting and all that. I'm worried about my cow.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
You know, cows are supposed to have flies on them,
are they that? I think it helps them smell good.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Flies help them smell. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
Eat the turns, they eat the tur so the cows
eat the turds. Is that what you're saying? The flies
heat the thurds. How come everyone wants to be the
goat in sports? And I brought this up before, but
when I was a kid, I remember going to a
farm or zoo and they had goats and they were disgusting.
There was slobber all over their mouths. They were flies
(18:23):
and bugs circling around. You go to be the goat.
You got to be the goat.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
You know?
Speaker 1 (18:27):
I have a flies in saliva all over the place everywhere. Anyway,
Cowboy Drew, says al Michaels is a legend. He brings
me back to the good old days when Monday night
football was a huge deal. Are you ready for some football? Yeah? Sure?
Why not? Patrick aka DJ Spin says Benjamin A rad
way to talk about al Michaels. He's oj awesome, well,
(18:48):
said j T. The wingman says, it kind of sounds
like you wear your perfume the same way that Lamar
Jackson does. No, No, I don't, that's false alarm. Now,
the podcast boys, the Wired podcast guys, Wired Access, they say,
what's the furthest flight that you've done there and back
(19:09):
within forty eight hours as we currently these guys are
heading to the Bahamas to deliver baseball bats for some
home run derby thing, and then they leave at five am.
They get back tomorrow at eleven pm. Yeah, couldn't you
have just like sent them via I don't know ups
(19:31):
or something like that.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
Yeah, why do you have to hand deliver them?
Speaker 1 (19:35):
I don't know, it's a long way to do. You
at least get to go out and go in the
water in the Bahamas or something like that. I mean,
what's it? You imagine what a tease that would be.
We're gonna fly you to the Bahamas, but you can't
actually go in the water. You just get right back
on the plane and head back to the States. That
would be terrible, that'd be absolute punishments. That would be
let's go to Jersey. We'll say a lot to Rex,
(19:56):
who's in New Jersey? What's going on? Rex?
Speaker 6 (20:01):
Hey, man, I love the show.
Speaker 7 (20:03):
I wanted to let you know I'm throwing my hand
in the ring.
Speaker 6 (20:05):
For the Jets fat coaching program.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Oh really, what's what's your sales pitch?
Speaker 6 (20:12):
Uh? So I wanted to top one that Lorena on
her pretty feet.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
When have you seen my feet? This is see? This
is Rex right here, this is your See. Lorainer doesn't understand.
Loraina is not familiar. She doesn't have the sports gene.
She's lacking the sports gene. But but Rex is a
big fan of feet. Love's feet Lorraine. Oh, is that
the one coach? Yeah? I remember when Rex was on
(20:42):
was it Hardball staff in Baltimore? I remember that back
in the day. Are you there? Are you there? Rex?
Speaker 4 (20:53):
No?
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Fairly Rex song. Oh that's a shame. Maybe was offended.
Rex was offended that you did not know? Oh his
history with defeat. Yeah, let's say hello to do we
have here? Nate is in Seattle? What's going on? Nate? Welcome?
It's a newbie night by the way, eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox All new callers, all the time. Hello, Ben,
(21:18):
Hello on a shoe, Thank you for calling the show.
What's going on?
Speaker 7 (21:23):
Yeah, just wanted to chat with you real quick about
your thoughts on the Heisman race and what media attention
has done with that race. You know, Travis Hunter has
had a phenomenal season playing both sides.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Of the ball.
Speaker 7 (21:37):
I'm personally a fan of ash gen t you know,
being up from Boise State, but was wondering in terms
of Jill.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Yeah, well as you as you as as you know,
as you know, Nate. This is typically a popularity contest.
The people that vote for these things, uh not all
of them are paying attention every week, even though they're
supposed to pay attention every week. So it's whoever gets
the most publicity, and nobody has gotten more publicity than
Travis Hunter, although your guy from Boise State has closed
(22:12):
the gap, and I think, based on I know, the
odds say that Travis Hunter, Travis Hunter rather is is
an overwhelming favorite to win. I think the number that
I saw, I don't know if this has been updated
or not. It was the other day and it was
it was minus two thousand for him to win, which
is like a ninety five chance that Travis Hunter is
(22:33):
gonna win the Heisman Trophy.
Speaker 7 (22:35):
So pretty pretty crazy.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
But I think you know just what Ashon Genty has done.
I went to the one game I've went to this
year was the Oregon Boise State game. Pretty pretty awesome
game to go to, you know, for Oregon being you know,
still undefeated and Boise State being that only loss, still
giving that you know, first round play.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And and your your guy, Gent's gonna
he's gonna make himself some money at the next level, right,
I mean, he's the way he's played here, he's he's
gonna and with the renaissance also you combine that with
the renaissance of the running back in the NFL and
how Sequon Barkley and Derek Henry and these guys have
played played well. I mean, he's he's looking as you know,
(23:19):
he's gonna be a first or a second round pick,
which is you know, I don't know about first maybe
second round because running backs are always downgraded. But he's
he's gonna make himself some money.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Yep, certainly the tail end of that first I think
it should be interesting to see where he lands.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
But all right, Nate, thank you, all right, there's Nate
on a newbie night. There he is, there's Nate. Let's
say hello, eeny meenie, miney mo. Let's see who's next.
Let's go to Nate. Different Nate, not the same name.
There's a different name. We had a Nate earlier. Nate
is in Minnesota. Hello, big night for guy's name Nate. Hello, Nate,
Ben How the hell are you, buddy, Nate? If I
was any better, I'd be a twin, but not a
(23:52):
Minnesota twin because they're not playing right now.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Walk I got to ask you question, who do you
think deserves the NFL Coach of the Year?
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Well, John Payton obviously that that's Coop Sean Payton Cooper,
who's wearing.
Speaker 6 (24:09):
John Payton my ass?
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Yes, that you're calling from Minnesota? Who do you Who
do you want me to say? Who? Could it possibly
be Nate that you want me to say? Is the
coach of the year In the end of the formula?
Speaker 6 (24:23):
You know what what I would say?
Speaker 1 (24:26):
KOC I don't know, Oh yeah, all right, yeah O'Connell,
Kevin O'Connell. Yeah, Well, the formula is pretty simple, right,
The formula is done.
Speaker 7 (24:35):
Way better than Mike Tomlin, be way better.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Than Mike Ter, Well, I know, I think Sean Payton is.
Speaker 7 (24:42):
The great.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Quarterback.
Speaker 7 (24:49):
What we don't like Sean Payton?
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Well, I know, but you won that game though, the
Minnesota Miracle. You won that game though, so you shouldn't
you shouldn't be upset, right, He's a he's a schmuck.
You want to call him a schmuck. Yeah, he's a schmuck.
He's a schmuck. Yeah. Well it's it's listen, you got
the the way the formula works, you know this. It's
(25:15):
take a team that was supposed to suck and they
don't suck anymore or have a dominant team. Like there's
a lot of love for Dan Campbell. He's getting a
lot of love. Yeah, and the Lions of the top
record in the NFC.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
And who do you think?
Speaker 6 (25:28):
Who do you?
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Who do you?
Speaker 5 (25:29):
What's your opinion on?
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Well, I go back to what we talked about with
the Heisman. It's uh, at this point, it's I think
it's Dan Campbell or Kevin O'Connell, one of those two guys. Yeah,
there you go. Because you liked my take, that's take.
I got take approval from Nate and that means a lot.
I need thank you. Not good evening, It's it's kind
(25:52):
of not evening, but I'll have a good day. Yeah,
thank you, Yeah, good morning. There you go. Anyway, all right,
it is the Ben Mauch so interesting story out of
Vegas Andtonio Pierce. Antonio Pierce, head coach of the Raiders.
Is he going to be a one and done? Very rare?
Does that happen? The Raiders have been horrific. They're they're
(26:12):
two and eleven this year and they have been down
by double digits and seemingly every game. I bring this
up because Raiders owner Mark Davis was asked to assess
where things stand for Antonio Pierce. He did not give
a vote of confidence to his coach, despite the coach
certainly needing that. He said, Mark Davis he wants to
(26:36):
see progress in the final four games. He said he
is not in a position to evaluate what the future
holds until the off season of Rodge, which certainly sounds like, Hey,
I'm planning on firing this guy, and I don't want
to say anything right now, but we're gonna make a change. Yeah.
(26:57):
So if you look at the Raiders in the offseason,
when Antonio Pierce was hired he said, Hey, I need
a better quarterback and I gotta I gotta improve the
running game. And as I understand it, the GM of
the Raiders kind of forced the offensive coordinator, Luke getsy
on him, who's been fired. Didn't know what he was doing.
(27:17):
So if you want to get rid of Antonio Piers
because Tom Brady owns like a small percentage of the Raiders,
and hire one of Brady's buddies. Okay, but I think
they all have jobs now with North Carolina. That Belichick's
going to hire all his guys at North Carolina. Let's
say hello to Eric, but Antonio Pierce hanging on by
a thread in Vegas. We'll see if they can beat
(27:38):
the Falcons on Monday night, and that would actually probably
upset people more because that would the Raiders right now
would have the number one pick in the draft. Eric
is in New Hampshire. What's going on? Eric? Welcome by
Good morning, Morning Morning.
Speaker 6 (27:51):
No, I'm just curious on how Barcel came on the show.
So I listen every morning. Don't a word and Italian
he really means stands like, like how did that even happen?
Like how did you guys stumble across that.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll tell you the brief,
the truncated version. So Marcel started calling the show years ago,
and I thought he was fake. I didn't think Marcel
was real. I thought this is a phony phone call.
And he kept calling and he had nothing to say
on the show, Eric, he had nothing to say. So
(28:30):
one night I was filling in. I was doing stuff
actually at the the station I was. I was moonlighting
at or I guess daylighting at the State, the other
station in Boston, and Marcel called me up on that station,
and I just he had nothing to say. So I
was like, hey, Marcell, what's you at for dinner? And
so he said yeah, so he said I had I
(28:50):
had Chef boyar d is what he said he had
for dinner. And so I said, Marcel, that's like really
great Italian food that's directly out of Italy, like the
top rests in Italy, the finest chefs will serve Chef party.
And Marcel of course agreed with me, and so that
was how we started food Picks, because it was Yeah,
it was so ridiculous that he agreed with me. But
(29:12):
Marcell's harmless, and you understand, Eric, he really has nothing
going on. We're the highlight of his life. So the
two minutes, even though he annoys you, Eric, the two
minutes he's on the show. For him, that's the most
important two minutes of his day. All right.
Speaker 6 (29:27):
I thought about going into work at a different time
just so I don't get it to work angry.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Oh no, is it that bad? All right? Oh my god?
All right, all right, listen, I understand. You know, everyone
has their different tastes. You know, you had to play along.
You had play the bid is to play along with Marcel,
because Marcel will repeat anything. In fact, somebody told I
think it was Robin Vegas told Marcel to report the
(29:54):
Titanic had crashed, and Marcel reported it as breaking news
that the Titanic had crash. And if you can't laugh
at that, I mean, come on, that's very funny. Yeah,
that's funny. Right, all right, Well he makes me agree there,
I laugh at him. All right, So there you go.
You're in on the joke. I got ya. I we'll
be safe air and he's not calling in today, so
(30:14):
you don't have to worry about it. You're fine.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
News.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
While everyone has slapped the RMS Titanic has reportedly hit
an Iceberg.
Speaker 6 (30:24):
London from New York.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
Can I get it right?
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Yeah, you got it right, Marsa, all right, thank you.
I just want to point out that when the Titanic
crashed radio did not exist. There was no radio. So
the first radio show to report live as breaking news
that the Titanic could hit an Iceberg was the Ben
Maler Show, and the first journalist the Edwin R. Murrow,
(30:51):
The Edward R. Murrow of the Overnight Marcel and Brooklyn,
the first one ever to report that amazing news that
the un sinkable Titanic had had the problem. Have you
seen the drawing and drawings, I mean there's graphics online
(31:13):
they show what the Titanic look like compared to those
massive cruise liners they have now that go out on
the other and it's like just like a rowboat. Yeah,
it looks like a dinghy compared to the modern ships
that they have out in the Atlantic and the Pacific.
It's pretty wild when you think at the time that
was like the coolest, biggest, baddest ass ship in the world,
and now you're like, whoa, what is that all about.
Speaker 5 (31:33):
Well, if you go on the Queen Mary Ben they
have handmade replicas of all the different cruise liners back
in the day, So the Titanic is one of them.
I took pictures of all the different boats because they're
so big and so intricate.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Yeah, the Queen Mary here in La you can go
walk through it. It's haunted. There's ghosts. Yes, you're seeing
any ghosts in there.
Speaker 5 (31:56):
No, But I have multiple friends who work there and
have had experience and what kind of experiences. My two
favorite ones that I've been told is one of my
friends is working during the Halloween event and they stay
on the boat. He did security, and so he stays
on the very very bottom where they keep all the crewmates, right,
(32:17):
and he said when he got down, it's what three
o'clock in the morning, when he's done on his shift,
he's down on the very bottom. He opens the elevator
door and he just feels like this chill go down
his spine.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Right.
Speaker 5 (32:28):
He walks out and he looks down the hallway and
there's this man. There's just a dark shadow of a
man standing at the very end of the hallway with
a cane. Doesn't move the whole time that Eric walks
all the way down to his room at the end
of the hallway, said it was the creepiest thing. And
if you've been on those boats, they're so like the
walkway down to your room. Yeah, it is not bright,
(32:50):
it is not cute. It's very dingy and creepy.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Now, when you die someday, would you like to come
back and haunt people? I would love to come back,
and that'd be fun. That be fun one of the
I don't know. We'll find out when we die. But
what are the other options? You know, what else is there?
I'd rather be active, would be active? Be a good ghost?
Would you be a friendly ghost or an evil ghost?
Maybe a friendly one, friendly ghost for most people, for
most people. Every once in a while, though, you'd mess
(33:16):
friendly ghost or the other theory. I remember watching those
old ghost hunter shows. We have a ghost hunter, a
guy in Ohio that's a ghost hunter, but don't like
Sometimes the ghosts get trapped. They don't make it to
the other side, so they get trapped.
Speaker 5 (33:28):
I want to be here by my own, your own choice, Yes,
all right, Ricardo writes and says, I second that guy
in New Hampshire.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Marcel worst minute of radio, nothing funny about it. I
would rather watch daily and listen to him talk about anything.
All right, big fan, shut your yeah, you've clearly never
heard Gunner call the show. Mister nice guy in the

Speaker 1 (00:07):
Our four is at your door. It's your ears door.
And here it is on this Thursday, the twelfth day
of December, Little Thursday Night, NFL Tonight, the Rams and
the forty nine ers. But our lead story is from
Joe Burrow going public with his advice to the Bengals
to extend Jamar Chase and t Higgins putting pressure on ownership.
(00:31):
How much weight does this have? Also, Brown's owner Jimmy
Haslam as we stay in Ohio express support for Kevin
Stefanski and Andrew Barry. What level of importance do you
give this? And do you expect Al Michaels to have
one of those goodbye tours when he's done broadcasting on
(00:51):
the Amazon. We'll get to all that and more. It
is a Newbie Night. Hooray for Newbie Night. Have a
wonderful Thursday. Here it is our number for a call
to action, But will the call be answered? Welcome in
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malors Show
(01:14):
on a Newbie Night. That's right. We are in the
air everywhere, fellow townspeople. As we are. We're sports and
suspense collide coast the coast border the voter and beyond
on the mast and outspokenly powerful microphones of FSR emminating
(01:38):
live from the dream. So we're living the dream. We're
broadcasting live from the tyraq dot com studios. Tyraq dot
com will help you get there and unmatched selection, fast
free shipping, free road has a protection over ten thousand
recommended and stars. A guy Ohio Al has said about
ten thousand songs in over the years. Ty raq dot
(01:59):
com the way tire buying should be. Now we do
that Mallard meet and greet. We hope do one in
Ohio in twenty twenty five. Lord Willin and Dick and
Dayton big star call. But we gotta give ohio Al
some love as well. Man, this guy has sent so
many songs and jingles and whatnot. He loves the show
and he's a very talented musician and a lot of
these parody songs have come from Ohio Al. So I'm
(02:22):
going to make sure that he shows up if we
make that happen next year. But our lead this hour now,
it's not about Bill Belichick again, although we will take
your calls. The big news of the night in the overnight,
people reacting all night long. Bill Belichick for now, for
now agreeing to coach North Carolina the official official announcement.
(02:43):
Everything has to be signed and the tea's cross the
eyes dotted later today and by the time I wake up,
that should be all done in Belichick will go off
on his merry way to North Carolina and start paying
players with nil money. So we'll see how that goes.
But our lead this hour is from a different football story,
(03:06):
but it also involves money. It also involves money, and
so that's a good thing. That's a good thing. How
about the story involving the Natty That would be Northern
Kentucky slash Southern Ohio Cincinnati to be exact. A decree
has come down yet again, for the second time in
as many days, from a quarterback Joe Burrow. If you
(03:28):
did not hear the initial decree, maybe you missed it.
Joe Borrow, Joe Burrow, quarterback of your Cincinnati Bengals, is
looking to crack the whip. He wants that whip. He's
cracking the whip on the Bengal ownership over their plans
to keep the band together. And the Bengals are a
(03:49):
bad team. They are a bad basketball team, the Cincinnati Bankals, right,
we know that or a basketball team football team, they'd
be a bad basketball team too, But they're a bad
football team. And yet Burrow's demanding that these guys come back.
He's publicly advocated for T Higgins. Now he has added
Jamar Chase, making it very clear that he is expecting
(04:11):
both of them to be signed long term before next
NFL season kicks off. So let us discuss the question
Joe Burrow going public with free advice, free advice to
the Cincinnati ben Gals to extend Jamar Chase and T Higgins,
both of them, wants both there. How much weight does
(04:35):
this have? How much weight does all of this have?
That is the question. What is the answer, And we
will throw together. Now we have on this one a
hodgepodge of goodness. We've got not only cigarette lighter, we've
(04:56):
got human Shield and Metallica. So again, Joe Burrow going
public giving advice to the Bengals ownership to extend Jamar
Chase and T Higgins this week. How much weight does
that have? So combine all these things together and we
are going to make a wish and a prayer, because
that's about as good a chance as this has of happening,
(05:19):
so to kick off the amount of weight that it has.
Joe Burrow is the franchise quarterback of the Cincinnati ben Gals,
and he's doing everything he can to air out some
dirty laundry here. However, it's a lightweight. There's not a
lot of weight now. Joe Burrow weighs about two hundred
and twenty pounds, give or take, and it doesn't weigh
(05:42):
that much. We file this one under the guise of
constructive criticism by Joe Burrow. He clearly does not understand
who he is dealing with. The evil forces in charge.
The Ben Gals are a mom and pop operation. We
always talk about old family in sports and how it's
(06:02):
much different than somebody knew that buys a team. For example,
the New York Metropolitans in baseball, Steve Cohen, he made
his money on the backs of hedge funds. That's new money.
He's spending all of it he can on the Mets.
If it was old money, that would not be the case.
And the same thing goes in football with the Cincinnati Bengals.
(06:22):
There it's old family money. The ownership group does not
flash their jewelry they keep their family jewels in a
safety deposit box. That's what they do here. And in
the cartoon bubble above my head, in the cartoon bubble
but my head, Joe Burrow is holding a cigarette lighter
and he's trying to light a fire under the tukas
(06:46):
of the ownership. And this has a very high whiff rate.
So a wing badah saw wing on a whiff a
very high a whiff weight rate. And listen, I give
Burrow a little puffy I'll gi him a little puffy
sticker near his name for trying new cores action, so
I know he's trying. Unfortunately, you're not that guy, Pal,
(07:09):
I don't care how good a quarterback you are. You're
not that guy. Right. You gotta pick your poison. You
can have one, you can't have both. You keep Jamar Chase,
you keep Ti Higgins. I think we know the answer.
The Chase is on that. That's the guy. That's the guy.
Can't have both. One of them's gone, t Higgins, Gonzo Gonzo.
(07:30):
All right, Now furthermore we stay in Ohio, but we
go now a little bit further north, well actually much
further north, in the Roust Belt where the Cleveland Browns
owner Jimmy Haslam has made his own statement about the
future of the franchise. Jimmy Haslam, the truck stop mogul,
said that he has support for both coach Kevin Stefanski
(07:53):
and the general Manrew Andrew Barry. So I asked the
question of the esteem panel, what level of importance do
you give Jimmy Haslam, the owner of the Cleveland football team,
coming out and saying, oh, yeah, I support these guys.
I support these guys. So I give this one the circle.
(08:15):
I give it to the old circle there because as
in Jimmy Haslam, the owner there in Cleveland, also said
that he plans to quote look at everything close quote
after the season, which where I come from. If you
say you're going to look at everything, that means you're
going to circle. You're going to circle back and examine
(08:37):
the GM and examine the coach again, and watch out
for the dreaded vote of confience. Now does this count
as a vote of confidence? That's helping to interpretation. But
the outlook, you know, I'm not a weather man. I'll
tell you more about that in a minute. I'm not
a weather man. But the forecast for the Browns is gloomy, gloomy, gloomy, gloomy, gloomy, gloomy, gloomy, gloomy.
(08:57):
Now here's the thing. Things are going so terribly from
a football perspective that the owner has to come out
and clear clear the message to everyone in the public that,
you know, I'd rather not look for a new coach.
You're not doing a good job. But I don't really
want to. I don't feel like looking for a new coach.
(09:18):
I don't really feel that. Not feeling that that's kind
of the kind of the way it is. But but
things are at the point now where Jimmy Haslam with
Stefanski and the GM there in Cleveland, they both work
as human shields. They run interference, they run the naked
bootleg to protect him and he's insulated and the owner's insulates.
(09:41):
I said, well, listen, this is what Andrew Berry wanted,
the GM and Kevin Stefanski I was in my call.
I'm just the owner. I'm a hands off owner. That's
how I operate. Pulling the strings. Mean, why is the
puppeteer behind the scenes pulling the strings? Jimmy Haslam and
Haslam has these cats again, they're human shields is what
they are. They are human shields. I go back to
(10:03):
that he made a faustian bargain to get to Shaun
Watson from Houston, and it has gone about as poorly
as you possibly go. Outside of Deshaun Watson actually being
arrested with a crime or committing some kind of higher crime.
They still owe him another two years guaranteed by two years.
(10:23):
And the number on that is I think it's over
forty six million or around forty six million every year
guaranteed money for the next two years. All right, Now,
last thing, last thing again, you're gonna look at everything.
That means you're looking at the coach, You're looking at
the gym. Now we move on from that to the
broadcast booth. Tonight is a NFL night tonight on this Thursday,
(10:44):
the Niners and the Lrims an old school NFC West
Brew haha, and they are locking horns in the Bay
Area and that game will be broadcast on the Amazon.
And I bring that up because Legend play by play
announcer Al Michaels is expected to return next season to
(11:08):
the broadcast booth. He will be part of Amazon Primes
NFL coverage in twenty twenty five. It was revealed this week.
Now we are told that Michael's three year contract with
the Amazon concludes at the end of this season. Is
only a couple of weeks ago, but both he and
the muckety MUCKs at the Amazon believe he will be
(11:31):
back in the same exact role, same time, same streaming
platform next season. Michaels is eighty years old, he's earning
fifteen million dollars a year under the current broadcast agreement,
must be nice, and he plans to take things year
by year, year by year, not day by day, not
(11:55):
week by week, not month by month, year by year
in terms of his podcasting. So that got us thinking,
just throwing this out there. When the time does come,
do you expect Al Michaels to have one of those
hokey good buy tours where you go around and people
kiss your ass and give your gifts. Do you think
(12:19):
he'll be that guy? You're that guy, Pal, You're that
So I'm gonna go no, maybe I'll be wrong, Maybe
I'll be wrong with this. Al does not strike me
as the look at me guy, even though he stays
at luxury hotels and he certainly loves to hear himself talk,
as many people do who are broadcasters. I don't look
at Al Michaels as the kind of guy that's gonna
(12:42):
be out there saying, okay, all right, I need you
to give me my flowers. No, no, he is more Metallica,
as in the tune fade to Black, that he's just
gonna kind of that's it, that's all disappear and see
(13:03):
you later when you cross the rubicon at age eighty.
Everything is on the table, right, everything is on the table.
While your young punks like to rip. I guarantee you
during the broadcast tonight, people be ripping Al Michaels. But
for me and I only really care about myself like
(13:25):
everyone else. You care about you, I care about me.
Al Michaels is nostalgia. It's a bit of a dopamine
hit with Al Michaels, and he keeps going. No, not
as good, so good guys out with his guts and guyle.
He doesn't have that heater, doesn't have that fastball anymore.
He can paint the quarters and deliver body blows, body blows,
(13:46):
body blows in the broadcast. So I'm all for it.
Another year of Al Michaels way to go? Why not?
Speaker 3 (13:54):
All right?
Speaker 1 (13:55):

Belichick is heading off to North Carolina, supposedly, and there's
another NFL coaching job that is getting closer and closer
(14:59):
to opening up. Let's just say there's an NFL coach
twisting in the wind, and based on the commentary of
said NFL coach's owner, things are not looking particularly good.
Things are not looking particularly good. We'll get to that,
and we will.

you can say a lot of Ben at Ben Maller
Coop do Loop A Bronco fan and Loraina f SR
Tech Queen all that on X and and now we
get back to bloviating Benny. Well Bill, it's actually it's
Benny and part of Benny Versus Benny, which we have
(16:55):
a new episode later today. I know you're I love
you don't really love me, weed man. You know he's
never watched the show because I don't think he can
find a stream to watch it on. I think that's
why he doesn't watch the show. I think that's part
of the problem. So an NFL coach twisting in the
wind will get to that it is a newbie night.
Also a clerical move will go there as well. Cowboy
(17:18):
Drew writes in from the farm in Minnesota, where he
is keeping track of the cow named Mallard. There's the
malar cow and Cowboy Drew, I need regular photos of
my my heifer. Not touch my cow. Okay, that's my heifer. Yeah,
that's not your half, that's mine. It's like those infomercials
(17:39):
where you like, send money and they send you photos
of the sick children and all that stuff. I want
photos of my cow. I want every week. I want
a new photo of my cow. I want to see
how my cow is doing. I want to make sure
my cow doesn't have all flies all over it and
it's all disgusting and all that. I'm worried about my cow.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
You know, cows are supposed to have flies on them,
are they that? I think it helps them smell good.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Flies help them smell. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
Eat the turns, they eat the tur so the cows
eat the turds. Is that what you're saying? The flies
heat the thurds. How come everyone wants to be the
goat in sports? And I brought this up before, but
when I was a kid, I remember going to a
farm or zoo and they had goats and they were disgusting.
There was slobber all over their mouths. They were flies
(18:23):
and bugs circling around. You go to be the goat.
You got to be the goat.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
You know?
Speaker 1 (18:27):
I have a flies in saliva all over the place everywhere. Anyway,
Cowboy Drew, says al Michaels is a legend. He brings
me back to the good old days when Monday night
football was a huge deal. Are you ready for some football? Yeah? Sure?
Why not? Patrick aka DJ Spin says Benjamin A rad
way to talk about al Michaels. He's oj awesome, well,
(18:48):
said j T. The wingman says, it kind of sounds
like you wear your perfume the same way that Lamar
Jackson does. No, No, I don't, that's false alarm. Now,
the podcast boys, the Wired podcast guys, Wired Access, they say,
what's the furthest flight that you've done there and back
(19:09):
within forty eight hours as we currently these guys are
heading to the Bahamas to deliver baseball bats for some
home run derby thing, and then they leave at five am.
They get back tomorrow at eleven pm. Yeah, couldn't you
have just like sent them via I don't know ups
(19:31):
or something like that.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
Yeah, why do you have to hand deliver them?
Speaker 1 (19:35):
I don't know, it's a long way to do. You
at least get to go out and go in the
water in the Bahamas or something like that. I mean,
what's it? You imagine what a tease that would be.
We're gonna fly you to the Bahamas, but you can't
actually go in the water. You just get right back
on the plane and head back to the States. That
would be terrible, that'd be absolute punishments. That would be
let's go to Jersey. We'll say a lot to Rex,
(19:56):
who's in New Jersey? What's going on? Rex?
Speaker 6 (20:01):
Hey, man, I love the show.
Speaker 7 (20:03):
I wanted to let you know I'm throwing my hand
in the ring.
Speaker 6 (20:05):
For the Jets fat coaching program.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Oh really, what's what's your sales pitch?
Speaker 6 (20:12):
Uh? So I wanted to top one that Lorena on
her pretty feet.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
When have you seen my feet? This is see? This
is Rex right here, this is your See. Lorainer doesn't understand.
Loraina is not familiar. She doesn't have the sports gene.
She's lacking the sports gene. But but Rex is a
big fan of feet. Love's feet Lorraine. Oh, is that
the one coach? Yeah? I remember when Rex was on
(20:42):
was it Hardball staff in Baltimore? I remember that back
in the day. Are you there? Are you there? Rex?
Speaker 4 (20:53):
No?
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Fairly Rex song. Oh that's a shame. Maybe was offended.
Rex was offended that you did not know? Oh his
history with defeat. Yeah, let's say hello to do we
have here? Nate is in Seattle? What's going on? Nate? Welcome?
It's a newbie night by the way, eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox All new callers, all the time. Hello, Ben,
(21:18):
Hello on a shoe, Thank you for calling the show.
What's going on?
Speaker 7 (21:23):
Yeah, just wanted to chat with you real quick about
your thoughts on the Heisman race and what media attention
has done with that race. You know, Travis Hunter has
had a phenomenal season playing both sides.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Of the ball.
Speaker 7 (21:37):
I'm personally a fan of ash gen t you know,
being up from Boise State, but was wondering in terms
of Jill.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Yeah, well as you as you as as you know,
as you know, Nate. This is typically a popularity contest.
The people that vote for these things, uh not all
of them are paying attention every week, even though they're
supposed to pay attention every week. So it's whoever gets
the most publicity, and nobody has gotten more publicity than
Travis Hunter, although your guy from Boise State has closed
(22:12):
the gap, and I think, based on I know, the
odds say that Travis Hunter, Travis Hunter rather is is
an overwhelming favorite to win. I think the number that
I saw, I don't know if this has been updated
or not. It was the other day and it was
it was minus two thousand for him to win, which
is like a ninety five chance that Travis Hunter is
(22:33):
gonna win the Heisman Trophy.
Speaker 7 (22:35):
So pretty pretty crazy.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
But I think you know just what Ashon Genty has done.
I went to the one game I've went to this
year was the Oregon Boise State game. Pretty pretty awesome
game to go to, you know, for Oregon being you know,
still undefeated and Boise State being that only loss, still
giving that you know, first round play.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And and your your guy, Gent's gonna
he's gonna make himself some money at the next level, right,
I mean, he's the way he's played here, he's he's
gonna and with the renaissance also you combine that with
the renaissance of the running back in the NFL and
how Sequon Barkley and Derek Henry and these guys have
played played well. I mean, he's he's looking as you know,
(23:19):
he's gonna be a first or a second round pick,
which is you know, I don't know about first maybe
second round because running backs are always downgraded. But he's
he's gonna make himself some money.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Yep, certainly the tail end of that first I think
it should be interesting to see where he lands.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
But all right, Nate, thank you, all right, there's Nate
on a newbie night. There he is, there's Nate. Let's
say hello, eeny meenie, miney mo. Let's see who's next.
Let's go to Nate. Different Nate, not the same name.
There's a different name. We had a Nate earlier. Nate
is in Minnesota. Hello, big night for guy's name Nate. Hello, Nate,
Ben How the hell are you, buddy, Nate? If I
was any better, I'd be a twin, but not a
(23:52):
Minnesota twin because they're not playing right now.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Walk I got to ask you question, who do you
think deserves the NFL Coach of the Year?
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Well, John Payton obviously that that's Coop Sean Payton Cooper,
who's wearing.
Speaker 6 (24:09):
John Payton my ass?
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Yes, that you're calling from Minnesota? Who do you Who
do you want me to say? Who? Could it possibly
be Nate that you want me to say? Is the
coach of the year In the end of the formula?
Speaker 6 (24:23):
You know what what I would say?
Speaker 1 (24:26):
KOC I don't know, Oh yeah, all right, yeah O'Connell,
Kevin O'Connell. Yeah, Well, the formula is pretty simple, right,
The formula is done.
Speaker 7 (24:35):
Way better than Mike Tomlin, be way better.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Than Mike Ter, Well, I know, I think Sean Payton is.
Speaker 7 (24:42):
The great.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Quarterback.
Speaker 7 (24:49):
What we don't like Sean Payton?
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Well, I know, but you won that game though, the
Minnesota Miracle. You won that game though, so you shouldn't
you shouldn't be upset, right, He's a he's a schmuck.
You want to call him a schmuck. Yeah, he's a schmuck.
He's a schmuck. Yeah. Well it's it's listen, you got
the the way the formula works, you know this. It's
(25:15):
take a team that was supposed to suck and they
don't suck anymore or have a dominant team. Like there's
a lot of love for Dan Campbell. He's getting a
lot of love. Yeah, and the Lions of the top
record in the NFC.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
And who do you think?
Speaker 6 (25:28):
Who do you?
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Who do you?
Speaker 5 (25:29):
What's your opinion on?
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Well, I go back to what we talked about with
the Heisman. It's uh, at this point, it's I think
it's Dan Campbell or Kevin O'Connell, one of those two guys. Yeah,
there you go. Because you liked my take, that's take.
I got take approval from Nate and that means a lot.
I need thank you. Not good evening, It's it's kind
(25:52):
of not evening, but I'll have a good day. Yeah,
thank you, Yeah, good morning. There you go. Anyway, all right,
it is the Ben Mauch so interesting story out of
Vegas Andtonio Pierce. Antonio Pierce, head coach of the Raiders.
Is he going to be a one and done? Very rare?
Does that happen? The Raiders have been horrific. They're they're
(26:12):
two and eleven this year and they have been down
by double digits and seemingly every game. I bring this
up because Raiders owner Mark Davis was asked to assess
where things stand for Antonio Pierce. He did not give
a vote of confidence to his coach, despite the coach
certainly needing that. He said, Mark Davis he wants to
(26:36):
see progress in the final four games. He said he
is not in a position to evaluate what the future
holds until the off season of Rodge, which certainly sounds like, Hey,
I'm planning on firing this guy, and I don't want
to say anything right now, but we're gonna make a change. Yeah.
(26:57):
So if you look at the Raiders in the offseason,
when Antonio Pierce was hired he said, Hey, I need
a better quarterback and I gotta I gotta improve the
running game. And as I understand it, the GM of
the Raiders kind of forced the offensive coordinator, Luke getsy
on him, who's been fired. Didn't know what he was doing.
(27:17):
So if you want to get rid of Antonio Piers
because Tom Brady owns like a small percentage of the Raiders,
and hire one of Brady's buddies. Okay, but I think
they all have jobs now with North Carolina. That Belichick's
going to hire all his guys at North Carolina. Let's
say hello to Eric, but Antonio Pierce hanging on by
a thread in Vegas. We'll see if they can beat
(27:38):
the Falcons on Monday night, and that would actually probably
upset people more because that would the Raiders right now
would have the number one pick in the draft. Eric
is in New Hampshire. What's going on? Eric? Welcome by
Good morning, Morning Morning.
Speaker 6 (27:51):
No, I'm just curious on how Barcel came on the show.
So I listen every morning. Don't a word and Italian
he really means stands like, like how did that even happen?
Like how did you guys stumble across that.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll tell you the brief,
the truncated version. So Marcel started calling the show years ago,
and I thought he was fake. I didn't think Marcel
was real. I thought this is a phony phone call.
And he kept calling and he had nothing to say
on the show, Eric, he had nothing to say. So
(28:30):
one night I was filling in. I was doing stuff
actually at the the station I was. I was moonlighting
at or I guess daylighting at the State, the other
station in Boston, and Marcel called me up on that station,
and I just he had nothing to say. So I
was like, hey, Marcell, what's you at for dinner? And
so he said yeah, so he said I had I
(28:50):
had Chef boyar d is what he said he had
for dinner. And so I said, Marcel, that's like really
great Italian food that's directly out of Italy, like the
top rests in Italy, the finest chefs will serve Chef party.
And Marcel of course agreed with me, and so that
was how we started food Picks, because it was Yeah,
it was so ridiculous that he agreed with me. But
(29:12):
Marcell's harmless, and you understand, Eric, he really has nothing
going on. We're the highlight of his life. So the
two minutes, even though he annoys you, Eric, the two
minutes he's on the show. For him, that's the most
important two minutes of his day. All right.
Speaker 6 (29:27):
I thought about going into work at a different time
just so I don't get it to work angry.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Oh no, is it that bad? All right? Oh my god?
All right, all right, listen, I understand. You know, everyone
has their different tastes. You know, you had to play along.
You had play the bid is to play along with Marcel,
because Marcel will repeat anything. In fact, somebody told I
think it was Robin Vegas told Marcel to report the
(29:54):
Titanic had crashed, and Marcel reported it as breaking news
that the Titanic had crash. And if you can't laugh
at that, I mean, come on, that's very funny. Yeah,
that's funny. Right, all right, Well he makes me agree there,
I laugh at him. All right, So there you go.
You're in on the joke. I got ya. I we'll
be safe air and he's not calling in today, so
(30:14):
you don't have to worry about it. You're fine.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
News.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
While everyone has slapped the RMS Titanic has reportedly hit
an Iceberg.
Speaker 6 (30:24):
London from New York.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
Can I get it right?
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Yeah, you got it right, Marsa, all right, thank you.
I just want to point out that when the Titanic
crashed radio did not exist. There was no radio. So
the first radio show to report live as breaking news
that the Titanic could hit an Iceberg was the Ben
Maler Show, and the first journalist the Edwin R. Murrow,
(30:51):
The Edward R. Murrow of the Overnight Marcel and Brooklyn,
the first one ever to report that amazing news that
the un sinkable Titanic had had the problem. Have you
seen the drawing and drawings, I mean there's graphics online
(31:13):
they show what the Titanic look like compared to those
massive cruise liners they have now that go out on
the other and it's like just like a rowboat. Yeah,
it looks like a dinghy compared to the modern ships
that they have out in the Atlantic and the Pacific.
It's pretty wild when you think at the time that
was like the coolest, biggest, baddest ass ship in the world,
and now you're like, whoa, what is that all about.
Speaker 5 (31:33):
Well, if you go on the Queen Mary Ben they
have handmade replicas of all the different cruise liners back
in the day, So the Titanic is one of them.
I took pictures of all the different boats because they're
so big and so intricate.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Yeah, the Queen Mary here in La you can go
walk through it. It's haunted. There's ghosts. Yes, you're seeing
any ghosts in there.
Speaker 5 (31:56):
No, But I have multiple friends who work there and
have had experience and what kind of experiences. My two
favorite ones that I've been told is one of my
friends is working during the Halloween event and they stay
on the boat. He did security, and so he stays
on the very very bottom where they keep all the crewmates, right,
(32:17):
and he said when he got down, it's what three
o'clock in the morning, when he's done on his shift,
he's down on the very bottom. He opens the elevator
door and he just feels like this chill go down
his spine.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Right.
Speaker 5 (32:28):
He walks out and he looks down the hallway and
there's this man. There's just a dark shadow of a
man standing at the very end of the hallway with
a cane. Doesn't move the whole time that Eric walks
all the way down to his room at the end
of the hallway, said it was the creepiest thing. And
if you've been on those boats, they're so like the
walkway down to your room. Yeah, it is not bright,
(32:50):
it is not cute. It's very dingy and creepy.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Now, when you die someday, would you like to come
back and haunt people? I would love to come back,
and that'd be fun. That be fun one of the
I don't know. We'll find out when we die. But
what are the other options? You know, what else is there?
I'd rather be active, would be active? Be a good ghost?
Would you be a friendly ghost or an evil ghost?
Maybe a friendly one, friendly ghost for most people, for
most people. Every once in a while, though, you'd mess
(33:16):
friendly ghost or the other theory. I remember watching those
old ghost hunter shows. We have a ghost hunter, a
guy in Ohio that's a ghost hunter, but don't like
Sometimes the ghosts get trapped. They don't make it to
the other side, so they get trapped.
Speaker 5 (33:28):
I want to be here by my own, your own choice, Yes,
all right, Ricardo writes and says, I second that guy
in New Hampshire.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Marcel worst minute of radio, nothing funny about it. I
would rather watch daily and listen to him talk about anything.
All right, big fan, shut your yeah, you've clearly never
heard Gunner call the show. Mister nice guy in the
bay says after making remarks about Antonio Pierce, Mark Davis
burrowed back in the ground. Oh man, all right, it
