this weekend in the NFL's this hour, number three of
the podcast. You've got snow forecast in Philadelphia, frigid temperatures

Speaker 1 (00:29):
That's where we're going to start.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
The Ravens star Lamar Jackson says he is not going

terrible performance in them prior. Where do you stand on this? Also,
Lions defensive cooridinator Aaron Glenn has told people the Jets
are his first choice if he were to be offered

(00:51):
a head coaching position. Can you explain why you would
want to coach the Jets? And speaking of the Lions,
how do you unscramble? Lions offensive coinator Ben Johnson now

there as well. All of it's coming your way right
now here. It is our number three. Let it snow,

(01:14):
Let it snow, Let it snow. Oh, It's a winter
wonderland in the NFL this weekend. Welcome in the beginning
of another hour of the Ben Maler Show.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
We are in the air ev.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Where as one as we get hooked on the spoken word.

So I leave this hour is from the weather. That's right,
the weather. It's see here.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
It's January, it's mid January.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
It's NFL playoff football in cold weather cities.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
How's that going to go? Now?

Speaker 2 (02:42):
You don't have to worry about Detroit because Detroit plays indoors.
So even though it's going to be twenty five degrees
this weekend when that game starts on Saturday, the Lion
Commander's game. They're indoors, so it doesn't matter. Kansas City
a picture perfect twenty two degrees at kickoff. The forecast

(03:03):
as we're talking right now, if you look at the
long range forecast for the Eagles and the Rams that
game in Philadelphia, thirty seven degrees and a chance of rain.
That forecast has been updated. There had been snow forecast earlier,
but at this point just a chance of rain for
that game. And then the humdigger, the grand daddy of

(03:26):
them all in the Divisional round, that would be Buffalo
and Baltimore. Baltimore and Buffalo that game in Orchard Park,
New York and at kickoff at kickoff nine degrees, nine
degrees and lake effects snow forecast for the Bills and

(03:47):
the Ravens on Sunday night, and the Ravens getting ready
to go to Siberia. It's cold in Baltimore. It's a
different level cold with the Bills play in Orchard Park,
New York. Mentioned the forecast, So what is Lamar Jackson
going to do to handle the cold weather?

Speaker 1 (04:06):
What's what's gonna happen.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
You you already had to say he talked about this,
but rather let me tell you what Lamar Jackson's said.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
Let's play the audio. Let's go to the audio tape.
Here's Lamar. I'm playing in the cold weather in Buffalo
this weekend.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
Hopefully we have some heaters on the sad bigger jacket.
Probably I gotta talk to Kaniko to see what he got.
Going to the EA equipment gods, Okay, they pretty much
do a great job though, so sure should be good.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
But you don't do gloves under any ser.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
I tried it in practice out horrible lead that up
to Teddy to gloves Teddy Bridge Waters.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
It seems like you do handle the cold weather pretty well.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
I mean, being a Florida guy, you know everything.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
Yeah, man, I'm trying to win, so it really don't matter.
I can't go into a game and be like mister cool.
I can't make things happen. You know, Coach, you don't
probably send me home. Them gonna be probably trying to,
you know, have me go up to upstairs and talk
to him and stuff.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
So I gotta lock in in the cold.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
Okay, So Lamar on the gloves, the money quote for
our purposes. I tried it in practice. I was terrible.
Leave it for Teddy two gloves. So let us discuss
Ravens quarterback multiple time. MVP Lamar Jackson says, now weren'
gloves in frigid Buffalo because he was terrible in practice.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
So where do you stand on this one.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
I've got big gulp, home cooking and Picasso, and we
will combine all of these things together and we're gonna.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
Whistle whistle whistle is what we're going to do.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
So, first of all, I like the mindset of the
Ravens franchise, and I know Lamar was kidding around and
all that stuff, but yeah, John Harbaugh should approach things
like have you complained about the cold weather? You know,
screw you. Everyone's got to play in it, right. It's
not like it's different for Buffalo and Baltimore. It's the same,

(05:57):
both teams playing in that. And you know, the question
sounded kind of like sports with Coleman, but but playing
in playing in the cold on if the gloves aren't
for you, as Johnny Cochrane taught me when I was
a young young lad, if the glove doesn't fit, you
must not wear it. That's the way it's it's really

(06:17):
a hunger's game approach here, whatever it takes.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
Now we know Lamar is from Florida.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
He referenced that in the in the seway, but he's
he's not using that as an excuse, and that's a
that's a good thing. You adapt to your surroundings. In
my lifetime, the top three cold weather quarterbacks are Tom Brady,
Aaron Rodgers, and Brett Farv. Two of them are from California.
One of them is from Mississippi. So it didn't grow

(06:48):
up playing in snow and the cold weather and all
that stuff. But they have the epitome of cold weather
quarterbacks in the last couple of generations. So free advice,
free advice, advice, come on, come on, unsolicited malar advice
on dealing with the chill, On dealing.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
With the chill.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
And I know this from years and years of experience. Now,
the first thing that you do, you get one of
those giant big gulps, right, you get one those old
school big gulps, and you fill it with chicken broth. Okay,
you fill it with chicken broth, and that combats the
hypothermia and all that. So you drink a lot of
chicken broth on the sideline. You know, drink the gatorade,
you drink the chicken broth. You also get a giant

(07:33):
jar of vasoline, just like Cooper Loop eight one time.
You have a big jar of vasaline and that'll combat
the wind. It'll knock down the effects of the wind
if you rub the vasoline all over you. And a
lot of guys in recent years have turned to scuba suits.
You wear that under your uniform because that also helps
keep you warm. You do all those things.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
It's not that bad.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
They have hand warmers and all that stuff. It's actually
much more difficult, much more difficult when you come off
the field because you sweat, and when you're not moving
around and you're on the sidelines. What happens to sweat
when it's really cold that that's right, it freezes over
and that's where the real problems begin, all right.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
Now.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
Secondly, we head to the coaching carousel and the Lions
defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn. Aaron Glenn has told people the
j E ts j E T s suck suck suck
jets jets jets. So Aaron Glenn has told people that
the Jets are his first choice. They are a number

(08:34):
one right at the very top, and if he were
offered a head coaching job there, he would accept it.
Can you explain why why the Jets would be at
the very top for Aaron Glenn? So it's not a
good gig. We know that it's not a good gig.
The franchise is a ghost ship at this point, I

(08:56):
guess a ghost plane would be the more appropriate reference
when you talk about the Jets. Now that being said,
I spent several seconds contemplating why a guy like Aaron Glenn,
if this report is accurate, would want to coach the Jets,
and I came up with one thing, and one thing only, nostalgia. Now,
Aaron Glenn was born in Texas. I think he's from

(09:17):
like Humboldt, Texas. I remember hearing that on the broadcast,
the kid from Humboldt, Texas. So Aaron Gun's from Humble, Texas. However,
he grew up in Jersey in many ways. He was
selected by the Jets in the first round. He was
the twelfth overall pick way back in the nineteen ninety
four NFL Draft. He played eight seasons for the Jets.

(09:40):
So going back there to the Tri state area, going
back to Jersey, that would be a reunion. That would
be home cooking. Who doesn't like home cooking? You taste buds,
I remember that.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
And if you coach the Jets, there are no expectations
that you will succeed. Any success is rather surprising. Any
success is rather probably the way you approach the Jets right,
And look at this job. And every Jets fan has
the same cynical approach. Every one of them has the

(10:15):
same cynical approach. You look at the players they've added.
If you're a Jets fan, you're convinced they will always
hire the wrong coach, done always the wrong coach. They
will draft the wrong player, They will trade for the
player they shouldn't trade for. And Aaron Rodgers is the
latest example of that. And most of the time the

(10:36):
cynical Jets fan has proven correct.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
Right.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
Aaron Glenn, Aaron Glenn, if he were to win ten
games with the Jets, he would be amazing the Jets.
The last eighteen years. If you look at the Jets
franchise the last eighteen years, they have only had two
seasons where they won ten or more games. They've had
eleven seasons where they lost ten or more games. It's
always bad, but they're never really bad enough to end

(11:03):
up at the very top of the draft. Like they're bad,
but they're in that second line bad where there's always
two or three teams that suck more than them most
of the time. All right, final thought, we keep the theme,
We keep the theme of the Lions, but we now
head to Vegas. Another Detroit coach hot to trot on

(11:26):
the coaching carousel, and that would be a man named Ben.
A lot of buzz, that's how, that's how. A lot
of buzz for Ben Johnson, the Lions offensive coordinator.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
And he is a head coaching candidate.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
And it's more likely than not if you believe the
reporting out of Sin City that Ben Johnson is set
up to take.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
Over the Raiders. Greatness out of the Raiders. Now there's
reports that a lot of momentum.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
I love this, you talking about Bullshoy reporting a lot
of momentum for Ben Johnson to go to the Raiders.
So how do you unscramble the latest report that says
the Lions offensive winner of Ben Johnson is the favorite,
the favorite coach Raiders.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
So where are you at on that. All right.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
So my position on this, all right, My position on
this is I roll my eyes when I see momentum building,
I say, okay, pop goes to wise all. That's what
I say. Weasel jargon, mumbo jumbo is what that is.
But the Raiders gig, much like the Jets job, is
also infested.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
It's an infestation of suck.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
Raiders have been the worst franchise in the NFL over
the last thirty years, not the second worst, not the
third worst, the worst franchise. And that's in a business
that has the Cleveland Browns and the Jets in it
and Jacksonville and they've been the worst. But for Ben Johnson,
the reason you were want that job, if this is true,
is it's Disney like. Now what does that mean? It

(13:06):
means when you wish upon a star? Yeah, whatever your
heart designs. The Raiders have no GM. They obviously don't
have a coach that's gonna Ben Johnson. They don't have
a quarterback, they don't have a good receiver, they don't
have a good running back, they don't.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
Have any of that.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
Right, They're lacking in all of those areas. So if
you go in there, you can hire your buddies, get
one of your toadies to be the GM. You can
hand pick players that you want for your roster, assuming
they don't cost too much money, because Mark Davis doesn't
like to spend a lot of money. And the whole
time Mark Davis just to be sitting on the side
there reading newspapers and eating orange chicken at PF.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
Chang's.

Speaker 2 (13:46):
And Tom Brady'll be so busy on his yacht in
the South of France or doing whatever the hell he's doing,
futsing around with because he's rich and he wants to
hang out at all those rich people parties in the Hamptons
and then South Beach and Beverly Hills and all that.
So all of those things side by side and.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
Pretty much got free.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
Reid, Right, you're not gonna get bugged that much, make
a lot of money relatively speaking, and.

Beautiful, right, I'll put it.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
Get a big bruskie, big beer bug. Put that down there.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
No, the correct answer the Olympic medals at the athletes
won twenty twenty four Parie Olympics.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
Are already falling apart. They're already falling apart now.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
They handed out a total this big high falutin French
jewelry place. They made five eighty four medals for the
Paris Olympics, and over a hundred of the Olympic medals
won by athletes are already in need of major repair.
They've had not damage from misuse, They've just they were

(19:51):
poorly made.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
So, but what do they use like.

Speaker 6 (19:54):
Actual material wise? Is the bronze actually bronze is a silver? Silver?
Is the gold just gold plated?

Speaker 2 (20:01):
Do you want me to break down the chart on
what materials are used? Yes, okay, they actually used gold
dust is what they use. It's not actual gold.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
It's gold dust. It's called fool's gold, is what it's called.

Speaker 4 (20:16):
There.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
They have that and you can snort it if you want.
You want to snort it, you can snort it. And
the bronze you could do that.

Speaker 2 (20:22):
They actually they take Hollering James what's in the in
the toilet at Hollering James home and they use that.
That's what they use for the bronze right from his
home right there. Yeah, I don't know what they do
for the silver. I have no idea.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
Anyway. It is the Ben Malor show. As we are
rolling on, let's go to the phones, sir.

the box, which is good. It says Ben in the box,
thank you for over twenty years of entertainment or entertaining me.
That is from stuck in Sacramento, and he sent a
nice a nice cap here from the baseball team in Sacramento,

(31:32):
which I guess is going over right, the Sacramento river
Cats baseball team.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
So it's a very nice ad. I will add this
to my my growing collection. So very nice.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
It looks like RC Cola. It's got an RC logo
with a cat popping out of it. And so yeah,
I get that team's not gonna be in sacrament anymore,
right because the Athletics, who's a that's another minor league
baseball team and they're going to pretend to be a
major league team, but they'll be in Sacramento this upcoming year.
And so I have so thank you you Stuck in
Sacramento and I invited him. He's from LA and he

(32:05):
actually stuck in Sacramento told me the story. He actually
lost his home in one of the fires a few
years back.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
Oh no, well, is his home burned down in the fire.
I think it was twenty eighteen, he told me.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
And so he's been dealing with that as he seen
the other people in southern California have their homes lost,
thousands of homes burned up in the fires from last week.
But he's gonna come down and visit us one of

Speaker 1 (34:02):
She's in Iowa. She's moved on from there. Yeah, she's

Speaker 6 (34:04):
Go back anyway. And she would like to know do
you need to sleep with noise?

Speaker 1 (34:09):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (34:10):
Yes, and sleeping doing the overnight shift and sleeping during
the day.

Speaker 1 (34:13):
I have to have blackout curtains, a sleep mask, ear.

Speaker 2 (34:17):
Plug, I think a whole like it's like a catcher
getting ready to go into a game in baseball. You
gotta have all the pads on and all that. I
definitely need white noise in the background. And feel free
to play the racist drop there, but I need I
definitely need some noise, the real fan, the air conditioning,
something to cause. If not, I can't sleep, What about you, Lorraina.

Speaker 6 (34:39):
I just want to say that doesn't make sense. You
put in ear plugs.

Speaker 1 (34:42):
But you need white noise in the background. Yes, I
need both.

Speaker 6 (34:45):
That makes no sense.

Speaker 1 (34:46):
I'm a diva, okay whatever.

Speaker 6 (34:48):
Yes, I also I don't use any background noise, but
I use earplugs.

Speaker 2 (34:54):
Well, the good thing is I have I have such
bad hearing in my right ear.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
I only need one earplug, so I we need one.

Speaker 2 (35:00):
So I don't really use two. I use one because
I naturally my hearing is blocked in my right ear,
so I don't need to worry about that.

Speaker 1 (35:06):
Yeah, cool, So I don't.

Speaker 6 (35:09):
I don't use the ear plugs, although I have in
the past, but I do have my My alarm clock
right next to my bed has different sounds, and I
use the rain sound and I put that up pretty loudly.
But you see, Lorena, you put the air ear plugs
in and the sound machine. That way, the only sound

(35:31):
that's leaking through is the sound machine. Yeah, nothing else,
anything else.

Speaker 2 (35:36):
It's the daily double yes, you know, cause just sleeping
during the day, the gardener's doing staff people are driving by.

Speaker 7 (35:42):
You know.

Speaker 2 (35:42):
It's a pin of the ass. So they don't worry
about us anyway. What's next year is ask Ben? Your
questions are answers. So the rest of the hour, Dante
would like to know. Hi, Dante, what's a popular movie
that you've never seen?

Speaker 1 (35:55):
Oh, there's a lot.

Speaker 2 (35:56):
I mean I haven't regularly gone to the movies in
many I'm trying to think off the top of my head,
though I don't name some movies Coop that.

Speaker 6 (36:05):
Like, what's like let's change, Like a classic popular movie,
like one that's just you know, like Ferris Buehler's Day Off,
you know, something like that that you haven't seen.

Speaker 2 (36:14):
No, I've seen most of the like the real popular ones,
but I'm sure there's some I'm not thinking right now.

Speaker 1 (36:20):
At the top.

Speaker 2 (36:21):
What was that Mel Gibson movie that was pretty popular
religious one passionate.

Speaker 6 (36:26):
Crist never saw. I never saw that, well, I mean
I went with my church group to watch me Too.

Speaker 1 (36:34):
There you go, Lorene movie. I actually just watched one
the other day. I know it's not an older movie,
but Dune, I know that was a really popular movie
and I just watched it.

Speaker 6 (36:43):
Would you like it? I actually really did enjoy it.
It's a great movie. I'm excited to watch the second.

Speaker 1 (36:47):
Do you ever see Gremlins?

Speaker 4 (36:49):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (36:49):
Classic? How weird? Are you just brought you haven't watched.
I watched Gremlins for the first time, like like three
weeks ago.

Speaker 1 (36:57):
Okay, I wanted to put.

Speaker 6 (36:58):
It on in studio. He's like, we can't watch that
because I haven't actually seen it.

Speaker 2 (37:02):
You know, if they filmed it as part of it universal,
that would make sense. One of the opening scenes they
said was in that little square, the same square they
did Back to the Future.

Speaker 1 (37:10):
It's kind of cool. What's next year? It's asked. I
didn't answer, Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you said Gromins.

Speaker 6 (37:15):
I thought that was your I was just replying to
what I have seen Gremlins. Okay, all right, there's a
handful of them. But since we're on a sports talk
radio station, yeah, I will mention that I have never
seen Rocky.

Speaker 1 (37:27):
Now Rocky There's Yeah, parts of.

Speaker 6 (37:30):
It are good, some of it's I think Stallone's like
this the worst actor ever. I just I can't. I
don't understand how people watch movies with him in it.

Speaker 1 (37:38):
He got his own statue in philadelph I know.

Speaker 6 (37:39):
It's just it's I don't. I don't understand anyway. That's
that's a whole nother thing. I've never seen. Caddy shack.

Speaker 1 (37:45):
Never seen Caddy Shack? What's wrong?

Speaker 7 (37:46):
I know?

Speaker 6 (37:48):
Never seen like Koosier's or or slap Shot. But yeah,
that's a well.

Speaker 2 (37:53):
Eddie forced me to watch slap Shot. I hadn't you know,
I saw parts of it, but I watched years ago.
I watched it because of him? What is next?

Speaker 7 (38:00):
Here?

Speaker 1 (38:00):
Where do we at?

Speaker 5 (38:02):
All?

Speaker 4 (38:02):

Speaker 6 (38:02):
Lady's sideburns?

Speaker 1 (38:04):
The great lady's sideburns?

Speaker 6 (38:06):
See this seems obvious to me, but I don't know.
He said, you've run out of toilet paper, Kleenex, and
the bidet is out of commission. How are you cleaning
that tushy?

Speaker 1 (38:17):
You go in the shower? Right? Like?

Speaker 6 (38:18):
What's that?

Speaker 2 (38:19):
Seems kind of easy? Do you go out and get leaves?
Old school stuff?

Speaker 4 (38:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (38:25):
I feel like that was kind of an obvious fun though.

Speaker 1 (38:27):
Does anyone else have a different answer.

Speaker 6 (38:29):
I'm trying to work my brain. I'm like, what else
could you do in this situation? I mean, he didn't
mention like like if the waters off or something. You
didn't mention paper towels, I guess.

Speaker 2 (38:39):
Or they used to use actual though they used to
use actual towels, they would use towels.

Speaker 6 (38:43):
Yeah, I mean you'd have to do that if the
four paper towels. Could you imagine the inside of your
washing machine? Honey, what's that awesome poop smere from last night? Honey?

Speaker 1 (38:52):
Just wipe it away?

Speaker 6 (38:54):
Imagine if the washing machine is good enough, it would
not leave?

Speaker 1 (38:57):
All right? What is.

Speaker 5 (39:00):
Chunks?

Speaker 6 (39:02):
Fird dog? Asking the important questions here?

Speaker 1 (39:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (39:05):
Would you star in a porno for one hundred thousand dollars?

Speaker 2 (39:09):
Well, I would like to see the porno producer who
wants to hire me. But I would probably be a
little more than that.

Speaker 6 (39:17):
But uh, loreeda, no, Ben, I could have made so
much more than that.

Speaker 1 (39:23):
Buy now, I look at you. I don't get that.
Only fans page you go? What about you? A cool balou?

Speaker 6 (39:28):
It would have to be a cool million at least.

Speaker 1 (39:31):
After taxes, right, yeah, tax is taken out? Still a million? Right?

Speaker 5 (39:34):
Clear?

Speaker 1 (39:34):
A million? Exactly? All right? What's next? Quickly? All right?
Ask Ben?

Speaker 6 (39:39):
Do you typically this is from the King Rory, do
you typically speed up or slow down when the traffic
light turns yellow?

Speaker 1 (39:46):
Why?

Speaker 2 (39:46):
I speed up because a lot where I live, the
traffic lights are pretty long.

Speaker 1 (39:51):
But it depends on the city. Like some cities they're
really sure. But where I live in the north Woods
are pretty long.

Speaker 2 (39:56):
What about your Lota Quick Master Avoid Disaster BOYD Disaster
Go Faster, hurry up, hurry up, speed up.
