Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here week ago punching our ticket. In our number two
of the Ben Mahler Show Original Recipe podcast, thank you
for listening. God bless you. You're my favorite person in
the world. You are You think I'm just using hyperbole,
but I'm not. It means a lot you're actually listening
to this podcast. So here in hour number two, Don

(00:21):
Sanders laying out his plans for what it would take
the coach in the NFL. What do you think of
his outline? Also, rock Perty has gotten Kyle Shanahan's ringing
endorsement as the forty nine Ers forever franchise quarterback. Is
that a big deal, a little deal or no deal?

(00:43):
And the forty nine Ers claim that Deebo Samuel is
expected expected to return to the team even though many
think he'll be traded. How does that sound to you?
We'll go there as well. It's all coming your way
right now here. It is not just ak it's our
number two going where the Buffalo roam. Welcome. In the

(01:09):
beginning of another hour of The Benmahlor Show. We are
in the air everywhere adjacent as we have an audio

(02:00):
beh I know, I know, I know that guys Stoner
Marvin loves that. He loves when I do that. He's
very excited about that. So we'll get to our lead.
I didn't want to mention again. Our thoughts are with
the many effect that we do. The show from Los Angeles.
La is on fire right now, a big, big wildfire
storm throughout southern California, and so our thoughts are with

(02:23):
those affected by that a lot of people have been
forced to evacuate their homes and and we also have
people that are out working first responders who are working
to try to put out the fire. So our thoughts
are with all those people. But we begin anew this hour,
and we begin anew with an old friend over Aliad.
We go to the Rocky Mountains where Dion Sanders. So

(02:45):
you know what, I think that that Blowharden Mallard needs
to talk about me, and here we are talking about him.
So Colorado coach Dion Sanders is in the center of
a rather blah coaching cycle. Yeah, but NFL jobs are
opened up. None of them seem to know what they're
going to do with coach we had. We've had some

(03:08):
teams that have a list of candidates that goes from
Seattle to Miami. They have no idea what's going on.
They're just throwing names out and like, if we talk
to enough people, we will give the illusion that we
know what we're doing. And it's a paralysis by analysis.
But a name that that was tossed out there a

(03:30):
few months ago and then it kind of died down
and it's back much like these stories go is Deon Sanders.
Now we have multiple teams who are looking for a
coach who haven't found anyone they like all that much.
Sanders has long been linked to the NFL. There are
six teams, not one, not two, not three, not four,
not five, but six NFL teams that are currently shopping around.

(03:53):
They should go to express pros to try to find
their next head coach and they're looking around. And it
had been assumed because Dion has says said it multiple
times that he is not going to go to the NFL.
He's not interested. I don't want green eggs and ham
Sam I am. I don't want to coach in the
NFL at all. I want nothing to do with that.
He's taking a hard line stance. But now he's apparently evolved.

(04:17):
He's evolved his hardline stance. What's that you say, Well,
if you did not hear about this, perhaps not, maybe
you were busy doing some other things. Dion Sanders now
says that there is a way, but there's only one
way that he would consider becoming a head coach in

(04:37):
the NFL. To see the light and become an NFL
head coach, and that would be what that would be
if he had the opportunity to coach both Shader Sanders
and Shiloh both of his kids at the NFL level.
And immediately after saying that, on Good Morning America, which

(04:57):
is still around, Dion Sanders and slobberd all over all
over the Colorado football program. I'm talking about how great
the Colorado football program is. This, that and the other thing.
So let us discuss the question for the esteemed panel,
which you are a part of. So deon Sanders laying
it out pretty thick right about Colorado, but also laying

(05:22):
out the blueprint on how he would end up as
an NFL coach. What do you think of this? What
do you think?

Speaker 2 (05:28):
So?

Speaker 1 (05:28):
I've got Christmas in January, Kitty Kat and sales pitch,
and we will combine all of these things together and
try to avoid the boogeyman. We're going to try to
avoid the boogeyman. So no bur me here that you

(05:51):
n burn. So Dion certainly is softening his position, much
like a stick of butter when you put it out
on the counter and it softens over time. Now we
believe it is more likely than not that Dion is
already getting phone calls that there are middlemen, there are

(06:13):
intermediaries that are reaching out the old fact finding Michige mission.
So Dion, and you know, we don't really have anybody
like here. We keep in mind, we know you you'd
consider coaching in the NFL. So the thing about Shadura
Sanders is you don't have to have a top pick
because you can always trade up to get one of

(06:35):
those picks. If that's the stipulation to get Dion Sanders
in your building, if that's who you want. But this
is really a Christmas in January story, meaning that NFL
executives are going Lloyd Christmas when it comes to Dion.
Remember Jim Carrey's character the iconic dumb and dumber. So
you're telling me there's a chance, it's a one in
a million. You're telling me there's a chance. You're telling

(06:59):
me there's a chance. From a business standpoint, Dion Sanders
is must see TV. He's got the aura, right, He's
got that aura. Colorado was not not a heavyweight in
college football. They were not, but in terms of moving

(07:20):
the needle, they absolutely moved the need They were not
a great team. They were certainly much better than when
Dion before he got there. But it's not like Colorado
was one of his great this great college football program.
The ratings did go down a little bit at the end,
but Dion Sanders created what he said he was going
to create. He created a program that matters, that that

(07:41):
meant something and got attention. And Sanders saying the only
way he'll coach in the NFL is with both of
his kids. It's not really that big an ass, right
because Shader Sanders now he is expected to be taken
in the first round and all that. But like we said,
you can trade up to get him and Shiloh the

(08:02):
other Dion kid that played at Colorado. He's likely to
go undrafted at best. He's a seventh round draft pick,
but most likely will not be drafted at all, which
means you can work it out. You can get your
Der Sanders and then go out and get his brother
and boom, you're done. If that's what you want, all

(08:23):
right now, pitch you to the Bay Area. We go
our in depth team coverage right now in this moment
continues involving the life and times of Brock Party, who
finished in last place, last place. What a joke the
forty nine ers were this year, last place in the

(08:44):
NFC West. Now Kyle Shanahan has chimed in because everyone
wants to know what Kyle Shannan thinks of Rock Party.
Do you see this and his contract status with the
forty nine ers. So here is what Kyle Shanahan I
had to say, says, I plan on being with Brock
here the whole time. I'm here, Shanahan opined. He said,

(09:09):
Brock's been a stud, He's a guy I've got a
lot of confidence in just as a human being, all Right.
He went on and mentioned five or six other glowing
things about brock purty laying it on very thick. The
frosting is very, very thick and puffy, thick and puffy.

(09:30):
So brock Perty has gotten a ringing endorsement from Kyle
Shanahan as the forty nine Ers franchise quarterback. Big deal,
little deal or no deal. So I'm gonna look at
this objectively. I've been getting a lot of crap from
our friends in Northern California that like the show, that

(09:50):
think I'm some kind of forty nine or hater. I
don't know why you would think that, because you can't
handle what I'm serving up right, you can't handle it,
cannot do it. So the way I look at this
was it a big deal, little deal or no deal.
It was a full throated endorsement, is what it was.
And so that put that in which category you are.

(10:11):
It was a full throated endorsement. Right, we have this
as a small deal, not a big deal, and certainly
not a little deal, but more of a small deal,
it's not no deal. But here's why, Because Kyle Shanahan
and any of these coaches that are in the NFL today,
they're all wired the same way. It's public relations, right,
They get the hevgb's when they have to speak the truth. So,

(10:32):
Kyle Shanahan, do you think he's going to publicly knock
one of his own players and his quarterback unless the
only way that works is if the quarterback is a
defensive player who quits in the middle of game. Because
that's the only guy Shanahan's unloaded on. Remember the forty
nine Ers were playing that primetime game. One of their
defensive players quit in the middle of the game or

(10:54):
late in the game, and that was it and he
was over the time, right, he did a little Hawktua
Kyle Shanahan on brock Purty. Regardless of that, the real
proof will be when the Niners get down to the
negotiating table and try to figure out what they want
to do. Read the fine print. Is this going to
be a team friendly deal? We tried to read the

(11:14):
t leaves the other day. It certainly sounds like brock
Purty is willing to play ball with the Niners and
give them a deal. Either it's worth very little money
compared to what he could have gotten, or it's a
team friendly deal, which means there's a lot of escape
patches and squiggly lines, and there's ways you can get

(11:37):
out of the contract. But right now, if you are
the La rim So, the Seattle Seahawks, or the Cardinals,
or you support one of those teams, you have to
have a Cheshire Cat smile thinking from ear to ear,
thinking about brock Purty being paid elite money for non
elite quarterback play, inconsistent quarterback play, and if you look

(12:01):
at how things have shaken out in San Francisco or
Santa Clara, where they actually play, he has been a
front runner right a front runner brock Party. In fact,
here's my evidence on that. Brock Purty in the second half,
when tied or trailing, having to make plays to come back,
he doesn't really move anything even half an inch, not

(12:24):
even half of it. And this includes the playoffs. Brock
Purty in his career has nine touchdown passes and fifteen
interceptions in his career when the game is tied or
he's trailing in the second half, six more interceptions than touchdowns,
Holy crap on a cracker, Like, what in the world,
as Jackie Slater used to say, what in the world? Now?

(12:46):
Overall he has regressed. If you do a side by
side diagram of Brock Purty playing quarterback the first twenty
games and Brock Purty playing quarterback the last twenty one games,
it's not pretty. Not pretty, it's not and Purty has
not been able to elevate, elevate the players around it

(13:09):
hasn't done it all right now, final point, speaking of
Brock Purty and those playmakers that he did or did
not have in the Bay Area, one of them expected
to change teams, which is why we were surprised, surprised
by the commentary coming out of the forty nine er facility.
The Niners are claiming they intend to bring Deebo Samuel back.

(13:33):
He'll be back on the team if you believe them
at face value. In twenty twenty five, John Lynch, that's
the general manager of the San Francisco football team. John
Lynch said, Deebo's under contract. He reminded the media that
was asking whether or not the Niners will take the
plunge in getting rid of Deebo Samuel. So he said. Listen,

(13:55):
the guy's under contract. A good player, he said, of
Dion or Dion of Deebo, and has done a ton
for this organization. So we're not in the business of
letting good players get out of here. All right, Fine,
so question the forty nine ers. You heard it right there.

(14:17):
I gave you a thumbnail recap of John Lynch and
his quote. The forty nine ers claim that Deebo Samuel
is expected to return. He's under contract. How does that
sound to you? So it sounds to me dollars to donuts.
It sounds like a sales pitch. It sounds like a
sales pitch, like the forty nine ers are hoping to

(14:38):
sucker some team to be named later to acquire Deebo Samuel. Right,
you can't trash him. If you're planning on dealing him away,
you can't get room. Deebo is coming off the worst
season of his career. He was unable most of the
year to get separation, right, And the guy used to

(15:02):
be a great player. He killed the Rams back in
the day. He was a very good player. He's not
that anymore. He's not And if you think he is,
you're wrong. He's twenty nine, and you are what the
results say you are. He's a rotten tomato. He's a
rotten tomato. He last year put up very little in
terms of offensive performance, yet he managed to taunt his

(15:27):
idiot kicker with the forty nine ers. He punched the
long snapper of the forty nine Ers, Deebo did on
the sidelines during the game in Tampa. He also complained
about not getting the ball enough after the forty nine
Ers won a game. And I can give you some
other examples, but I think i'll leave it right there.

(15:48):
That is Deebo Samuel in a nutshell right there. Just
stay tinderbox rating waiting to melt down. It is the

Speaker 1 (21:46):
Well, we're broadcasting the show. There's fires all around us.
But yeah we're.

Speaker 4 (21:51):
Rain and that's good.

That's good. That a little pretty good wondering Pretty well,
l I'm sorry, is La close to like the Palisades there? Pretty?

the base of Mountain Range in Sherman Oaks, part of California,
actually Studio City, which is right next door. It was
on fire earlier on tonight. There's there was a fire
in Hollywood. It's all over, it's all around. It's pretty
just crazy ever you look this fire. So anyway, all right, well,
I thank you corn Dog on that uplifting phone call.

(22:24):
There he goes the great corn Dog.

Speaker 5 (22:27):
I love corn dogs, Ben, corn.

Speaker 1 (22:29):
Dogs are pretty good. Yeah. I always felt special at
elementary school. They had the worst pizza and they had
the worst like food. The hamburgers. I don't think we're
real meat. But when they had corn Dog Day at
my elementary, I just felt extra special. I felt important
because it was corn dog Day, and it just mattered
a little more because it was corn dog Day, and.

Speaker 5 (22:48):
They matter because of the batter.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
Oh so good. Have you ever made corn dogs at home?
Not hard to make?

Speaker 5 (22:54):
No, I haven't. Actually.

Speaker 6 (22:56):
I usually go to hot Dog on a Stick if
I want a good corn dog, or Wiener Schnitzel has
good corn dogs.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
Yeah, yeah, those are fine corn dog establishments.

Speaker 7 (23:04):
But you've taken corn dogs from Costco and I put
them from the box into the oven.

Speaker 8 (23:11):
Ooh, and they're delicious.

Speaker 1 (23:12):
They are.

Speaker 5 (23:13):
Oh that does sound good.

Speaker 7 (23:14):
But I imagine you were referring to like like dipping
your own corn dog.

Speaker 1 (23:19):
Well, yeah, like you take the hot dog and then
you get some corn meal and you get a recipe
and it's really easy to make. It's real messy though,
it's real messy, but you make a ton of corn.
I mean, there's so little and there's a few ingredients
corn meal and some spices or whatever, and you're good
to go.

Speaker 6 (23:36):
Oh my gosh, what if we had a corn dogs
station and you could put different wieners in them. You
could do like the halapino cheese ones, or you can
do like if you like chicken ones.

Speaker 1 (23:47):
Is there anyone that's doing that? Is there any business
that's a corn dog? Just I know raising canes does
chicken fingers, that's all they do. There's gotta be somebody
that's in.

Speaker 8 (23:54):
A corn dog sonic is that is basically?

Speaker 1 (23:57):
But they got off. Yeah, Lorrain is saying, let's go.
You want Italian sausage done done, We'll put corn on it.
I want a turkey sausage or whatever we look in there.
I don't care.

this and whatnot. But I am blown away. I know
you're not supposed to like go there. But Kawhi, Leonard,
did you see this? He came back. He's been he's
been hurt all year. He came back. He played two

(27:47):
games for the Clippers, and my man, Kawhi has decided
to take a leave of absence from the Clippers. Did
he get hurt? No, No, he didn't get hurt. No no,
na na. He's decided he needs to spend time with
his family because of the fires here in Los Angeles. Now, Coop,

(28:08):
is Kawhi a firefighter? Is he out putting out the fires?
He's a first responder, Coop?

Speaker 8 (28:13):
Not that, not that I know of, not that you
know of.

Speaker 1 (28:15):
Okay, so he's not a first responder?

Speaker 8 (28:19):
What what what is he doing providing emotional support?

Speaker 1 (28:24):
Okay? So? Uh my, my sister in law was evacuated
from Should I be working here? Should I be helping them?
And that my niece and nephew. Should I be out
helping them? I mean, I'm here doing don't. Don't you
have to like as grown ups? Don't you have to
like work and stuff? I mean, unless you were directly affected,
I get it right, if you're your house was the
one that was was involved or whatever. But even then

(28:44):
you know you've you've got the job. I don't. I don't,
that's just oh god. And of all the people, well,
this this is on Steve Balmer, and this is on
the Clippers management. They've empowered Kawhi Leonardy. Obviously we know
he doesn't want to play. And wow, that is that
is wild? That is what exactly does one need to

(29:06):
tend to though? What are you going to be out
there with your garden hose?

Speaker 2 (29:09):
Like?

Speaker 1 (29:09):
What exactly are you?

Speaker 6 (29:11):
Yeah, you could be manning the fort, watering the house
for sure.

Speaker 1 (29:15):
Kawhi Leonard's out there.

Speaker 5 (29:16):
Packing things up just in case having it to go back.

Speaker 1 (29:20):
You see the guy that went viral the other day,
one of the washermen. You know they're all billionaires. I
guess some guy in the Palisades was like he was
trying to hire private firefighters just to protect.

Speaker 5 (29:30):
His house, and that he was being bashed over.

Speaker 1 (29:34):
Yeah, that did not go over very well. It seems
that people did not appreciate an uber rich person trying
to hire his own personal firefighters selfish. Yeah, is that right? Interesting?
You imagine shouldn't you have already done that prior to
like the fire like season, which is I guess year around.
Shouldn't you have firefighters on call your own personal fires?

Speaker 3 (29:56):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (29:57):
Yeah, that's what Universal Studios has. They have their own
fire station.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
They do. Universal Studios. By the way, close, we will
not be recording Benny Versus the Penny today at Universal
Studios in Hollywood. We are not going to be there.
We'll have a different location for the TV show because
of because of the fires that have closed the back
lot there and actually the whole, the whole shebang, everything's
closed down.

Speaker 5 (30:19):
That's how you're grow serious, is when Hollywood shuts down.

Speaker 1 (30:23):
Yeah, when they are not making movies. It's it's a
big deal. There you go. Joe the Ghost Hunter says,
it never disappoints when Gunner calls Berg Dog writes and says,
I disagree with everything Gunners said about the Clippers, but
nobody can deny Gunners a ratings winner. I love his calls,
love his calls. So he says, there you go. All right,

(30:47):
what else do we have? We'll skip over that one.
Let's go back to the calls and let's say hello
to Weed Main Hippie, who is in Miami, Miami, Miami. Hello,
weed Man.

Speaker 4 (31:01):
Hippie, Hey Ben, I love you you rock.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
Big fan of yours, weed Man Hippie. What's up?

Speaker 4 (31:08):
So you have hurricane winds and fire?

Speaker 1 (31:14):
I mean that is correct. Yes, the winds have gotten
up to one hundred miles an hour in the foothills
and they're blowing, blowing fire around. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (31:25):
I've never seen anything like that.

Speaker 1 (31:30):
But we have a lot of fires here. This is
just a poop storm. This is real. Yeah, every year
there's fires, multiple fires, but normally they don't all pop
up at the same time all over round Robin the city.
That normally is not what happens.

Speaker 5 (31:47):
We just don't have enough water for that.

Speaker 3 (31:51):
Hi.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
That was that was man saying hello to you, Lorena.
We've been here, weed Man.

Speaker 4 (31:57):
So Ben the Clevely Caps thirty two and four.

Speaker 1 (32:05):
Uh I know, they've got four losses. I think do
they have that they might even have more wins. I'd
have to look at my NBA stands. Yes, they're playing
very well.

Speaker 4 (32:13):
Weed man, but who who's on that team that makes
them so good?

Speaker 1 (32:18):
Well, they have Spider Mitchell's on there. They got him
and they had.

Speaker 7 (32:22):
A bunch of high draft picks a couple of years,
Jared Allen and Evan Mobley.

Speaker 8 (32:25):
That front court is why they're doing so well.

Speaker 1 (32:28):
Wow, they're actually trying to win regular season games, which
is rare. What's going on with your Miami Heat? Man,
you tell Jimmy Butler you want to move in with
Jimmy Butler, tell him.

Speaker 4 (32:40):
That, Oh Jimmy Butler, he doesn't warrant be here. You
got to be choking me with this guy.

Speaker 1 (32:45):
I know you should go have a talk with him.
Go talk some sense in Jimmy Butler. You see the
rumor though the rumor was the other day, though we've man,
there was a rumor that the Memphis Grizzlies were considering
a move to try to get Jimmy but he didn't
want to go to Memphis. So he's like, I don't
want to go to You're in Miami. Why would you
want to go anywhere else? You're in Miami. Why would

(33:06):
you want to go nowhere is going to be like Miami?
I mean, you're like, I don't get it. I don't
understand it makes sense.

Speaker 4 (33:17):
It's like exact in New York. He's got to be
happy being in the weather. In Miami, he doesn't like
the guys he's playing with.

Speaker 1 (33:25):
I guess I was kind of like you. You're you're
in many ways like Jimmy Butler. Right, you can plain
all the time about your roommate. You don't like your
living situation.

Speaker 1 (33:36):

Where would you like to.

Speaker 4 (33:38):
Go somewhere close to you?

what what if a listener like I don't know, in
fargo's listening and said, hey, i'll give you your own
one bedroom apartment and you don't have to pay for it.
But you're in Fargo.

Speaker 4 (33:56):
No, I don't want to get in Fargo.

Speaker 1 (33:58):
So you would rather live than a one room or
you share a room. You're not even in your own room.
You share a room, with somebody rather than being far
you and have your own place.

Speaker 4 (34:08):
It's freezing, I know.

You're good to go.

Didn't you have a place for me which I have
to clean horses or something?

Speaker 1 (34:23):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. So one one of our
listeners in Louisville in Kentucky said that they they will
employ people you got to clean up like horse crap
at Churchill Downs, and they'll give you a place. You're laughing,
but they'll give you a free place to stay as
long as you help out. So would you do that? Wow,

Speaker 1 (38:24):
Gooph loop.

Speaker 7 (38:26):
The Miami Dolphins had zero Pro Bowl selections and GM
Chris Greer was not happy about it. He said that
defensive lineman Zach Steeler and running back de Von h
Hine not getting selected is to quote.

Speaker 8 (38:38):
You bullshoy Ben. Okay, where either of those egregious snubs?

Speaker 1 (38:44):
Well, this is defend your players. The Dolphins had a
losing record, so knock that off. And I don't know
if Chris Greer is aware of this. If you really
want to make the players feel like Pro bowlers, get
them some water balloons, because that's what the Pro Bowl is.
They do like water balloon toss, they do tic tac toe.
It's it's camp is what it is. Who cares what

(39:05):
makes the Pro Bowl? I know You're supposed to say
that because the players like when the front office defends them.
But now the Dolphins were losing team, and who I'm
not gonna lose any sleep over that next.

Speaker 7 (39:17):
Dan Campbell recently told the media that it would be
quote ridiculous if Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn didn't get
a head coaching job.

Speaker 8 (39:25):
Ben, do you think he'll get one?

Speaker 1 (39:27):
No, I don't think he's gonna get a head coaching
job because the Lions defense up until the Viking game
had fallen apart. Now, I know they had a bunch
of backup guys and all that, but Detroit, They've got
this great record, greatest Lions team of all time. Their
defense is ranked twentieth in the NFL next.

Speaker 7 (39:44):
Since opening the season at twelve and three, the Warriors
have gone six and fifteen and are coming off back
to back blowout losses. Steve curseaid the team is having
a crisis of confidence. Do you think that's all it is?

Speaker 1 (39:55):
Yes, they're having a crisis of confidence and a lack
of talent. He left that part out right, a lack
of talent. The Warriors are stuck in the middle. You
don't want to be stuck in the middle. They are
stuck in the middle of the NBA and there's no
getting out alive. How did we do?

Speaker 8 (40:13):
You pass?

Speaker 1 (40:14):
That is a win. I'll take it. I won were
doing I won
