Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, that is some sour dough. It's our number one.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Our number one quarterback injury bingo by the Bay is
the Niners will apparently be without their starting quarterback brock
Purty this weekend. What's the biggest difference between brock Purty
and Mac Jones going into the game at the Superdome
this weekend in New Orleans? And who's under more pressure
(00:24):
this week the mac Jones the backup or Kyle Shanahan
the offensive genius.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
In the Bay Area. And we'll move away from the Niners.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
What is your takeaway from Aaron Rogers saying his back
was barking for Pittsburgh back in week one.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
We'll discuss that as well right now here.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
It is our number one. Well, that didn't take very long.
Welcome in the beginning of another night of the Ben
Mahlor Show.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
We are in the air everywhere, mixing and mingling as
we are plotting and hopefully not rotting.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Coast the coast, spoiler, the order, and beyond. On the
vast and uncommonly powerful microphones of fs are ammunating live
from the mouth the big mouth on the radio dial
right here from the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios
as approved by the legendary ostrich Ant in the Greater Washington,
(01:34):
DC area, a longtime supporter of the show, and at
one point a well known artist in the Malard militia.
We had an art museum, his art would be in
the art museum. So this portion of the Ben Malor
Show made possible on Fox Sports Radio. Buy our friends
at ti Iraq. For over forty years, ty Iraq has
(01:56):
been helping customers find the right tires for how, what
and where they drop ship fast at freightback by free
road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation,
tire rack dot Com, The Way Tire Buying show be
so our lead this hour is from the Bay Area,
(02:19):
and the forty nine ers could be finer. We have
our first quarterback injury, our first quarterback injury of the
regular season in the NFL. If you have not seen this,
maybe not the forty nine Ers, mister irrelevant. Brock Purty
will be mister irrelevant going forward if you believe the Niners.
And now most of these reports are bogus, but we're
(02:41):
going to assume the position that this one is not.
Brock Purty described as a quote long shot, a long
shot to play against the Norlands Saints, which is as
bad an NFL team as you can find. And now
that Purty could miss multiple weeks. I like how they say, well,
he's a long shot to play again. Oh and oh,
by the way, he's probably gonna miss multiple games with
(03:03):
a toe injury. Now, Kyle Shanahan, who we just goofed
on in a previous episode of the show, So Shanahan
commented on Brock pretty that in fact, rather than me
just read the quote, let's go to the audio tape.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Here is the forty nine.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Er coach any further sense about whether Brock will be
able to play on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Oh, I dance a long shots. Well, that party's injury
could be a multi week thing.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
And that's the toe more so than the shoulder.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Yes, did someone's up on his foot in the pocket?
Do you know how the toe injury happened? Yeah, I
think it happened scrambling.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
I think when I'm love tackle him by the sideline,
I believe it happened.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
We was playing through that in the game or is
just something you found out later?
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Was where Yeah, he got grilled there he was like
he was like being integragated or interrogated rather interrogated by
the by the cops. All right, so mac Jones under
this scenario, mac Jones will be QB number one when
the forty nine day the New Orleans football team if
brock Purty cannot play. So let us discuss the question
(04:06):
what is the biggest difference between brock Purty and mac Jones.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
So I've got Dino Nuggets, Johnny.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Depp and Icy Hot and those are three things that
have never been put together. But we're gonna put him
together and play connect three. So a who goofed? I've
got to know right now, we have poked fun at
brock Purty.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
We have had a lot.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Of fun, and we've been right with our analysis at
brock Purty. I think as he's played, the more he's played,
the more his frailties have been exposed, and the real
football people know he's not all that good, right, And
we pointed that out as weakness is because it's part
of the job as a talk shows. However, if you're
being totally honest here, brock Purty, well, he is certainly
(04:54):
not Peyton Manning or Patrick Mahomes or something like that
compared to Max Jones, though It's like going from a
nice meal at Dave's Hot Chicken and then he said, well,
I can't go there.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I can't find one. I don't want that Nashville Hot Chicken.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
So instead I'm just gonna microwave some Dino nuggets and
that's what I'm gonna eat. Like brock Perty's strength is
that he hasn't screwed up too much. That he's kind
of the little wind up toil toy for Kyle Shanahan's offense.
That he reads the defense and he'll get rid of
the ball and as long as the playmakers are matriculating
(05:31):
the ball down the field, he's fine. Mac Jones from
his time with the Patriots, he will stare down that linebacker.
He'll give that linebacker elevator eyes man up and down
and all around, and it's like it's.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
His prom date.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
And then he'll still throw the linebacker the ball, which
you shouldn't do. Not that I played quarterback in the NFL,
but forty four interceptions in less than sixteen hundred pass
attempts for Mac Jones, you don't have to be a
quarterback coach. You know that blows. It's not just bad,
it's like working at Santa's workshop in the gift wrapping
(06:08):
department when it comes to turnovers and on his best day,
Mac Jones on his very best day, which of course
means as good as all the rest.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
He's mid. He's not a good quarterback, Mac Jones.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
He's just good enough to keep you from immediately cutting him.
And so he'll have a job in the NFL because
he shows up to practice and he's a good practice player.
But he's that guy that you you know, you kind
of regret the whole thing, but you want to get
away from the person. Like dating, you want to get
away from the person, but you don't really have anything
(06:40):
else to do on a Friday night, so you're like,
I will hang out with him whatever. But he's bad
enough to lose winnable games, and that's the issue, and
I have.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
No skin in the game.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I know that our guys are Nesto and some of
the other forty nine are Pa Jay Scoop and Alameda
Loo and those guys that are big forty nine er
fans and some others.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
They're the show. You're a RAM fan, what do you?
You don't know what you're telling you this jet listen.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
I know Mac Jones from watching these games and being
on Benny versus the Penny all these years and handicapping
the games. So he's he's bad enough to lose winnable games,
He's not bad enough to be out of the league.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
That's the point, right And.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Brock perty he doesn't elevate players, that's our main argument.
And mac Jones he actively pulls them down into the
mud with him.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
And so that's the other issue.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Now, Paige Shu looking at the upcoming game because it's interesting.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
It looks like the forty nine ers are going to
go with mac Jones.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
So with that as the backstory, who's under more pressure
this week? Is it mac Jones taking over at quarterback
or is it Kyle Shanahan who has to draw up
the playbook for mac Jones. So the arrow on this
one is clearly pointing the direction of mac Jones. The
(07:56):
guy's career is dangling by a threat. He went from
the supposed savior of the Patriots and the hand picked
quarterback by Bill Belichick, and he was gonna be the
guy that leads New England out of a deep dark
place there and the next great Patriot quarterback. He was
rudely kicked out of the Northeast and sent to Jacksonville.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
It's like, well, that's a kind of a homecoming form
right Jacksonville.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
And he was an afterthought in Jacksonville, and now he
goes to the forty nine ers and it's like a
charity case for Kyle Shanahan to put him out there.
So he absolutely he needs Mac Jones needs a big
game like Johnny Depp needed Pirates of the Caribbean four.
Because without it, I mean, if he goes out there
and loses to the Saints, I mean he is wo wow.
(08:46):
You know, maybe he can be clipboard guy forever, but
most likely not even that. I mean Jones argument has
been the Jones camp, if there is such a thing
as a Jones camp, is that he's been surrounded by
flotsam and jetsam. That in in New England they just
had bad football players around him, and in Jacksonville they
had underachieving but talented players. The Niners are supposed to
(09:08):
be different. Now, they did have a down year last year.
If the Niner rosters supposed to be an upgrade, now
that's debatable. And we know that Kyle Shanahan is going
to spoon feed mac Jones with his celebrated offensive system,
which every broadcaster on television loves to tell you is
the greatest thing ever. And can he play Shanahan hide
(09:30):
the quarterback like its backyard football?
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Can he do that now?
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Other than Christian McCaffrey. You look at that Niner depth chart, There.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Is no juice. Where's the juice? There is no juice there.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
You've got a mid quarterback in mac Jones, You've got
mid weapons, and you've got Shanahan who's doing some meatball
surgery trying.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
To put it all together.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Now, if they weren't playing the Saints, who are actively
waving the white flag.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
They don't. They're not even trying.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
They're they're not even Spencer Rattler is their quarterback for
God's sakes, right, So this would be a certified disaster.
Like the Niners, as bad as you think they're gonna
win just because they're the better.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Team, that doesn't always work out that way.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
And there's something the points spread his involvements, But in
terms of the evidence here, George Kittle on injured reserves,
so he's not gonna play their safety blanket tight end
Juwan Jennings is dinged up so now you're most likely
rolling with Kendrick Bourne, who was an ex patriot, and
Ricky Piersall those are your options on offense.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
And so what does that mean? That means the.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Usual screens dump off to Christian mccafrey. It's Christian McCaffrey left,
and then when you get tired of that, it's Christian
McCaffrey to the right, and you pray for a busted
play and he takes it to the ouse like Shanahan's
gonna be the chef here calling up the plays and
he'll be cooking with the ingredients are spam and saltines
instead of wago beef.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
So there's no wagoo beef. Now, good luck on that.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
And again Mac, the drama here is that Mack is
playing for his football life. He's playing for his football life.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
And if you look.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
At how he has played up until this point, which
is all we have to judge him on, he has
struggled pre snap. He appears to have no idea how
to read. He's illiterate when it comes to reading a blitz.
You can't do that to save his life and the
Saints even in tankment though, here's the odd thing about
it like, even as bad as the Saints are, there's
still a few good players on the defense on defense
(11:29):
and they can't dial up some pressure. So it's kind
of like sending a man who can't swim into the
wavepool at six Flags Hurricane Harbor. You just put him
out there, and it's probably not a good idea. It's
probably not so all right now, last word, we head
from the forty nine Ers and we go to Petsburg, PA,
(11:52):
the land of the Insers, and that's where we have
our weekly.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Dose up and rats. Yes, Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
So the Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, he announced despite having
good numbers against the Jets' former team and the Steelers
winning that game, Rogers said that his back was tight
in Week one and that kept him from moving how
he typically moves. He said he actually ran into one
(12:22):
or two sacks against the Jets. Quote Rogers said, I
might be old, but I still feel like I can
move around pretty good, and I wasn't.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Moving the way I usually like to move close.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Quote all right, So question on this one for the
esteem panel, what is your takeaway from Aaron Rodgers saying
that his back was essentially barking harf, horf horf. Sounded
like that his back was barking, harf harf, just like
Andre's dog, right, just like his dog there willis. So
(12:54):
the Steelers, the way I look at this, they have
themselves a middle aged quarterback.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
That's kind of my opinion, is not an outrageous opinion.
That's what he is, you know, in life and in football,
he's an old quarterback. But after that opening scene, right,
I mean that was the opening scene of the of.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
The play, and Rogers essentially hit us with the dreaded
middle aged lament one game in, so using the Mallord decoder,
the Mallard decoder, it's Rogers essentially saying, hey, Mike chiropractor
is now more important than my offensive coordinator. It's the
(13:31):
NFL's version of that classic line from an old TV
show called The Honeymooners and Ralph Cramton who said it best,
oh my aching back, right, and Rogers, you know, he's
giving you the hippodrome sneak preview of what's coming uh
to soon to a stadium near you. So it's one
(13:52):
game in and Rogers is already saying, hey, my back
is barking. Let's fast forward now, ahead in the broadcast
until December in Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce, day thirty one
degrees cloudy, just overcast, wind blowing off the Alleghany and the.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Confluence right there. And you think that.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Back is going to feel looser in those conditions, I
don't know. I'm asking for a friend. Yeah, all right, Now,
now that back is going to sound like a rusty
screen door in a windstorm by the time we get
to December, if he's even still out there by the
time we get December. So, no matter how much it's
a good lesson here, no matter how much ayahuasca one drinks,
(14:36):
Rogers is still like the rest of us who reach
middle aged.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Right.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
He still thinks he can dance like he did in
his twenties, except when he goes to the club. Now
he hits the dance floor and a couple songs later,
he's rubbing icy hot all over his body. He is
oiled up with icy hot. That's how he's doing it.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Now. He's at the athletic.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Stage of life where occasionally tying one shoes is a
warm up.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Exercise, and you go to the gym, say did you
did you warm up?
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:08):
I warmed up? What you do.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
I tied my shoes. Well that's not warming up well
for me, it's warming up. So that's I tied my shoes.
Well that's not really warming up well for me, it's
tied my shoves. Now, where will you bend over? You know,
you bend over to pick up the remote and suddenly
you need an MRI that kind of thing. So keep
an eye on this. We obviously will. We have nothing
else going on. But by week eight, every time Rogers
tries to roll out, it's coming to look like your
(15:30):
uncle Harvey getting off the couch there and you know,
watching after watching seven hours of commercials that you used
to have no commercials on that Red Zone channel. So
a lot of creeks, cracks, groans, all that. That's the
soundtrack for A and Raders.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
So it's a bit of foreshadowing.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
It's a bit of foreshadowing, a preview of future coming attractions.
And when the back locks up in September, it's a
bad sign or December. So instead of the terrible towel,
they should change it up. I got an idea. Now,
I'm a marketing guy. You said what you used an
overnight I am an overnight guy. But I'm a marketing guy,
(16:10):
Mallard Marketing. How about this promotional giveaway a lot of teams.
Football teams don't usually give stuff away because they don't
need to. They only play eight games year. Baseball teams
give you a bobble Dodgers have had four bobblehead nights
for Showhale, tony four of them. Four of them, and
people still line up six hours before the game.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
To get a o Tani babblett.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
It's like, hey, it's not that limited dummy anyway, That's
not the point. Football teams normally don't give stuff away.
The Steelers are known for what they're known for, the
terrible towel. I'm now the marketing director of the Pittsburgh Steels.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Here's what I do. I go out online and I purchase.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Forty thousand heating pads, and I put the Steeler logo
on them, and I have a promotion Aaron Rodgers Heating
Pad Night. On one side. I put the Steeler logo.
On the other side, I put a mug shot of
Aaron Rodgers. Boom done. What a great promotion, all right?
(17:11):
The terrible heating pads and put those out. Who says
no to that? Come on, it's a good idea. I
know you're shaking your head. That's a good idea. You
can't come up with any better than that, can you know?
It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you would like

Unless it doesn't change your life in amazing ways, and
that would be unfortunate if that was the case. And
that's most likely the reality of the situation. So it's
(17:58):
not every day an NFL player that you've heard of,
an NFL player that you've heard of, calls his team immature.
That has happened, an NFL player calling his team his
teammates immature.

Speaker 1 (21:38):
It would appear the forty nine Ers, barring some kind
of holy water.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Being tossed on to the toe oh my aching toe
for brock Purty, and it'll be not marching into the
Superdome there in the Bayou, and instead it'll be Mac
Jones a late night drug tes to rights and says
Aaron Rodgers' back issues has.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Nothing to do with football.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
It's all from him dealing with the honeymoon phase of
his marriage. Yes, yes, I'm sure he should have. That
would have been funny if you know I didn't get
hurt against the just my wife, my fake wife. Uh
she by the way, my wife. Good friends with Mantai
Teo's old girlfriend. Very good friends, very very very good friends.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Yeah, uh super.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Marcus Steve says, I'm surprised that you didn't lead tonight
show with monologue about the Yankees getting absolutely smashed the
last two games against the Tigers.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
I guess I would have to wait for a later monologue.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Except you never posted the the rundown.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
He says, shame on you bet.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Oh see this guy super market Steve is such a schmuck,
he's ah, And I don't I don't do lists, you know,
Terry in England, I don't, as you know, I don't.
I don't believe in the list thing and all that.
But but I do believe in and I believe this
is accurate. I'm a big believer in big boards. And
is there a bigger schmuck than supermarket Steve. I mean
(23:08):
it'd be tough, right, it'd be tough to I mean,
who would be ahead of him on the schmuck list
if you were to make the schmuck or big board
big boarder schmucks.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
I think he'd be right there.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
I don't know how anyone could be ahead of him
on that. But the rundown will be coming. There's a
lot of spinning plates, and when you're spinning a lot
of plates, sometimes they don't all stay up spinning.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
So I see here. Shane and de.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Moines says, we need more calls from Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Bet no, we don't.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
We take calls whether you're in Des Moines like you are,
Shane and des Moines, or Manhattan or Brooklyn. We had
a call from Alaska last night, was cool. We have
plenty of people listening in the Great state of Maine,
so we got everything covered. We're good on that, Ryan says,
f the forty nine ers, and they have a cream
puff schedule this year. Yes, but even if you have
a cream puff schedule. If you're also a cream puff,
(24:06):
you end up having some problems there.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Yeah, there you go. Absolutely, let's see here.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Spos Weed says, how come you you dudes are mentioned
so much?
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Always upset?
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Oh, this is spos Weed upset that Ferg Dog and
Alf are getting mentioned on the show. And I do
get emails. It's pretty funny because most of this is
on the fifth hour. I don't get a lot during
the week but on the weekends.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
So many winy people. It's you know what. My theory
is that the guys are they're jealous.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
It's very bizarre to me that these guys get jealous
that certain people get more attention. But hey, listen, the
reason I'll tell you I don't I've never met either
one of these guys. I've never met Ferg Dog, I've
ever met Alf. They've never come to any of the
events I've done. I came close to meeting Alf in
Boston last year. Unfortunately there was a tropical storm thing
(24:59):
and he couldn't and so that did not happen. And
fer Dog, you know, he's a man of mystery. He
used to be roommates with Brian Finley and all that stuff,
and I think he's I think he's on probation. He
can't leave his home there. He's probably got one of
those ankle things on, so that's probably why. But I've
never made any one of them. But these guys anything,
I do you understand, I'm on overnight, I do the
weekend podcast. These guys are always listening. They listen to everything.
(25:23):
They listen more than my bosses here at Fox Sports Radio,
like they do them and Justin and Cincinnati. But Justin's
kind of like semi retired now. He's getting older and
all that stuff, so's it's harder for him to.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Interact as much, I guess. But the rest of the guys, I.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Mean, they're they're everything, They're everywhere, They're omnipresident. When I
fill in, and I don't do this much, you know,
rare and appropriate. Somebody will call me up from an
affiliate and say, hey, you want to fill in and
do a daytime show or something like that.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Oh, well, how much does it pay? And it pays?
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Up will pay some peanuts? Okay, I like peanuts. How
about macadamianus. We can't afford macadamian it's just peanut. Well
I want Macadamian as well. We can't do peanuts about Cashoes. Okay,
Cashow's all there. I'm there, So I take Cashows and
then I do I do the show. So and Loreno
was actually you were telling us in the production meeting
that you had a dinner and a show. I brought
(26:15):
that up. And you had a nice dinner in a show.
And this is your thing, right, you'd like the dinner
and the show.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
That, Yes, this is real nice. You eat what you
see on the screen. Ben, Well, while.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
You watch jokes, it could be made depending what you're watching,
you know.
Speaker 8 (26:32):
It could get a little scandalous.
Speaker 6 (26:34):
You know.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
So if you're watching like an old school Disney movie,
uh and you know the.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Dalmatians, you could be eating spaghetti, you know like that.
Speaker 8 (26:41):
Yeah right, so you're thinking probably Lady in the Tramp exactly.
Speaker 9 (26:44):
Yeah, so spaghetti for that one.
Speaker 8 (26:46):
She said, Home Alone is a fun movie to go and.
Speaker 9 (26:48):
Watch for that. Or if you watch Bambi, you get
to eat.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
See that's what you should do. Cool. I'll get into
business with you.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
We'll start a movie theater where we put really really
nasty food.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Look at some horror.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Movies, you know, it's like, here's the here's the Jeffrey Dahmer.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Jeffrey Dahmer and human he went to Ohio State.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
By the way, jeffreyst well the buck eye, which is
a is a nut.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
But yeah, anyway, super markets, super.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Market Steve says, I spent I spent money to help
you get into your own fantasy football league and told
you to keep the profits and take your wife out
to a nice dramatic dinner. And I'm the biggest schmuck
you have ever met, he says. You're see, you're just
very needy, Supermarket Steve.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
You are.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
And I find your your wife to be a very polite, one,
very nice kind woman.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
You're a schmuck. She's nice. But you I don't know
about you. I don't know about you. I'm not sure
what's going on with that? What else we have?
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Fergdok says, looks like the season's already over for Terry
in England's forty nine ers. At least he still has
your big boards to look forward to. Here's an idea
for you one for one, Ben, do a big board
on quarterbacks better than Rock Purty. Okay, how about I'll
name thirty five. I guess thirty five.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
I'll just keep going and going and going and going
and going and going and going. Nature boy rights and says,
how about Honey Badger's hairstyle hairstyle night for the Steelers.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
I think I think it'll be.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
A great, a great promotion. So he says, all right,
we'll take a phone call here.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
And let's the eenie meany miny Moe. Pick a caller
by the name.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Let's say hello to Big Daddy, who's in Memphis. Hello,
Big Daddy, welcome.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Now, hello my fan and all my substituents.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
He is Banda is a deer.
Speaker 8 (29:02):
Uh, he's technically a fawn and then he's going to
be a buck because he's a boy.
Speaker 9 (29:08):
So Bambi, Yeah, but it's his mom.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
They get shot.
Speaker 8 (29:11):
But he asked what Bambi was.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
He's deer is good.
Speaker 7 (29:17):
But do you know.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
How come they when you when you eat deer, they
say you're eating venison. But why don't they just say
you're eating deer. I don't understand. It's disturbed.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
I have no idea. It's probably because it's tough.
Speaker 9 (29:31):
That's a good point, Ben, but they have to go
with some fancy word for it.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Why, yeah, exactly, Like just say you're eating deer, that's
what you're eating, or eating a deer Benson for you.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Know what I was So, let me tell you, I
was so stupid, big daddy. For years, I didn't know what.
I thought.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Venison was a different animal I've never heard of. I
didn't realize it was just deer.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
I like, what is that that?
Speaker 4 (29:53):
That's what the word is? A deer?
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Yeah, we covered I think it's technically elk, So venison
is elk.
Speaker 8 (30:03):
So when you go hunting, you can't hunt the female deer.
You're supposed to only hunt the male.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
I googled it.
Speaker 9 (30:08):
It just says the primary difference is that deer is
the animal, while venison is the meat from the deer.
Speaker 8 (30:15):
I think you're supposed to hunt males. Go and look
that up.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Now that the deer in the animal community are four
legged rats.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
That right, they're they're they're they're large rats. The deer.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Yeah, I was driving I drove across years ago with
my my younger brother.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
We drove across Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
And there were so many deer out in the sticks
out there, and they run right in front of your car.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
I used to wonder way. These cars always hit these deer.
They're everywhere and they tear your car.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Oh that's what I don't understand.
Speaker 8 (30:46):
What do they have when they fight it?
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Man?
Speaker 2 (30:48):
They well they're pretty, they're pretty spinley and they're not
that I mean, unless you had a baby deer.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
They're pretty decent.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
No big going on looking man, than got They come
out of new work.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Yeah the loan God Rose where you.
Speaker 6 (31:10):
Go down there and get that lot of late you
know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Yeah, all right, Well, thank you, big Daddy. I appreciate
that you're a big You wanted to make sure that
your fans know that you're still there and you let
them know you are still alive. And well the great
Big Daddy check it in. So how about this story.
It's very rare that an NFL player one week into
(31:35):
the season essentially announces that his team is immature.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
But we take your.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Dateline Baltimore, where sports with Coleman's Ravens played gutless football
down the stretch as they rolled over, got in the
fetal position and lost a game that had a big
lead in against the Buffalo Bills in that Sunday night
game and Marlon Humphrey Humphy d. Humphrey came out and
(32:02):
called out the Ravens defense after the Bills lost and
said that they must quote work on our maturity. That
was his quote, work on our maturity. Which if you
need to work on your maturity, is it wrong of
me to say that you are immature? Otherwise you would
not need to work on your maturity. That is a
(32:22):
raven defensive back Marlin Humphrey. After this team do a
fifteen point fourth quarter lead, he said, quote, it's very
clear we've got great players on both sides of the ball.
But now you know what but means, yeah, he said,
but defensively, we have to work on our maturity. Yeah,
that is a sign that they thought the game was
(32:42):
over and they were not playing at full full pedal
of the mount that they took their foot off the
pedals and they thought they had the game in the bag,
and they ended up getting burned and they ended up
losing the game. So that's that's what that sounds like
on this side of the radio. Anyway, It is the
(33:06):
Ben Mahler Show. Take some more of these riveting phone calls.
We also have the Play of the Day coming up
in a little bit time now, though for the who
am I?
Speaker 4 (33:15):
Game?
Speaker 2 (33:16):
As Justin in Cincinnati likes to point out, I am
on time, Mallard by the clock four the clock, plausibly
all about the clock, and for that schmuck supermarket Steve,
I will make sure to put the rundown up.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
On the X machine so you can see some of
the things we're.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Talking about throughout the throughout the overnight hours, because God
forbid you listen and not know what's coming up. It
might drive you insane and you might start becoming a
I can't say.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Anyway, here is the who am I? Game?
Speaker 2 (33:41):
So New Orleans quarterback Spencer Rattler, who is zero to
seven as a starter in the NFL heading into Sunday's
game with the Niners, now the Browns legend, the immortal
Deshaun Kaiser is the only quarterback to have started that
many games or more and never won. But I have
(34:02):
the second most losses to start my career before winning
a game, behind Deshaun Kaiser. So again, Spencer Rattler, New
Orleans Quarterbacks O one seven as a starter heading into
the weekend against the Niners. The Browns Legend. Mister Kaiser
there the only quarterback to have started that many games
and never won. And I have the second most losses
(34:24):
to start my career before I finally won a game.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
Who am I? Well, that's the question. The answer. We'll
get to it, and we will do it next.
Speaker 4 (34:37):

Speaker 9 (35:54):
Man, all right.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Back to it we go. We'll pay off the who
am I?
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Game? But do you want to learn all the billiots
and mainly that schmuck supermarket Steve that the rundown has
been sent on the X machine at Ben Mather if
you want to see that. But before we get to
the payoff on the wh MI game, let's go now
to the play of the day in Major League Baseball,
(36:19):
and we go to the Pacific Northwest, the long suffering
Seattle Mariners trying to get off the snide make the
playoffs again and then make some noise in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
And they were they were.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Not going that great against the Saint Louis Cardinals. And
we go to the thirteenth inning in Seattle Mariners and Cardinals,
an extra inning affair for the tire rack.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Play of the night.
Speaker 10 (36:44):
I have a pitch on the way to Leo not
Buddy swinging flight ball deep right field, down the line,
walking off Leo Revers hold walk up to run home run.
Good Bye baseball. The Maritis sweep the Cardinals in the
three game series. They have won five in row.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
Oh look hold ron.
Speaker 10 (37:06):
A two run shot by Leo Revos, the Marions winning
four to two, hit thirteen innings, Leo getting mobbed at
home play.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
The iconic voice of Rick Riz on Mariners, I believe
that Mariner radio call there.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
That is the tire i Raq play of the night.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
The Leo Revos lead off home run bottom of the
thirteenth which turns out to be a two one home
run because that dumb rule in baseball where they have
the ghost runner. But for over forty years, tire rack
has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive, ship fast and freeback by
free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like Mulbile
tire Installation, tire rack dot Com the way tire bond
should be. So the Mariners complete the sweep.
Speaker 4 (37:44):
There.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
They're one game behind the cheating Astros in the American
League West, and they have a one and a half
game lead over the Rangers for that final American League
wild Card spot time. Now though, for the payoff on
the whom I game? This is where we pretend to
be somebody else. So sat quarterback Spencer Rattlers own seven
to begin his career going into that game with the Niners.
(38:05):
Now Brown's legend Deshaun Kaiser is the only quarterback to
have started that many games and never won.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
I have the second.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
Most losses in my career before finally winning a game.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
Who am I? That is the question? What is the answer?
And let's see here? Does anyone know the answer?
Speaker 2 (38:24):
Dan or Loftsy Yes by Eke in Roseville, Minnesota, Coop's Idol,
Jake the Snake Plumber from Eloy from Compton. Who else
do we have? Page down? I can't read that. Mike
the Leprechaun guess by malor prop guy. Wow, good find there?
Who else do I have? Page down? Can't read that?
Hillary Duff from Bobby and Florida. Godfather from al Andrew
(38:47):
card Guests by King Rory. That's his answer. Dolph Ziggler
from Shane in the Moines, John Carney from Manuel in Guardina,
Ralph Irvin.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
There's a name I haven't heard record Wreckett Ralph used
to work here?
Speaker 2 (39:01):
From James Jacoby Eylsbury, did anybody em bezzle more money?
And Jacoby Eilsbury in Baseball's forty two Today from Late
Night Drug tester?
Speaker 1 (39:09):
Who else do we have? Page don Alright, that's enough.
On the RAINA, do you have an answer of the
rain I'm going with Orlando bloom Ben Is it Orlando? No,
it's not incorrect.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
It's not Troy Aikman guess by Shane and Portland as
well or Johnny Manziel from FEMI in Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
The number one uber each driver the correct answer.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
Former Fox Sports Radio morning personality Jack Trudeau. You've been
listening to Fox Sports Radio for a while. We had
a morning show called Zack and Jack in the Morning.
And the only reason I know that is because I
work here. But Jack Trudeau twelve losses to begin his career,
Well, that is some sour dough. It's our number one.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Our number one quarterback injury bingo by the Bay is
the Niners will apparently be without their starting quarterback brock
Purty this weekend. What's the biggest difference between brock Purty
and Mac Jones going into the game at the Superdome
this weekend in New Orleans? And who's under more pressure
(00:24):
this week the mac Jones the backup or Kyle Shanahan
the offensive genius.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
In the Bay Area. And we'll move away from the Niners.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
What is your takeaway from Aaron Rogers saying his back
was barking for Pittsburgh back in week one.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
We'll discuss that as well right now here.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
It is our number one. Well, that didn't take very long.
Welcome in the beginning of another night of the Ben
Mahlor Show.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
We are in the air everywhere, mixing and mingling as
we are plotting and hopefully not rotting.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Coast the coast, spoiler, the order, and beyond. On the
vast and uncommonly powerful microphones of fs are ammunating live
from the mouth the big mouth on the radio dial
right here from the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios
as approved by the legendary ostrich Ant in the Greater Washington,
(01:34):
DC area, a longtime supporter of the show, and at
one point a well known artist in the Malard militia.
We had an art museum, his art would be in
the art museum. So this portion of the Ben Malor
Show made possible on Fox Sports Radio. Buy our friends
at ti Iraq. For over forty years, ty Iraq has
(01:56):
been helping customers find the right tires for how, what
and where they drop ship fast at freightback by free
road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation,
tire rack dot Com, The Way Tire Buying show be
so our lead this hour is from the Bay Area,
(02:19):
and the forty nine ers could be finer. We have
our first quarterback injury, our first quarterback injury of the
regular season in the NFL. If you have not seen this,
maybe not the forty nine Ers, mister irrelevant. Brock Purty
will be mister irrelevant going forward if you believe the Niners.
And now most of these reports are bogus, but we're
(02:41):
going to assume the position that this one is not.
Brock Purty described as a quote long shot, a long
shot to play against the Norlands Saints, which is as
bad an NFL team as you can find. And now
that Purty could miss multiple weeks. I like how they say, well,
he's a long shot to play again. Oh and oh,
by the way, he's probably gonna miss multiple games with
(03:03):
a toe injury. Now, Kyle Shanahan, who we just goofed
on in a previous episode of the show, So Shanahan
commented on Brock pretty that in fact, rather than me
just read the quote, let's go to the audio tape.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Here is the forty nine.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Er coach any further sense about whether Brock will be
able to play on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Oh, I dance a long shots. Well, that party's injury
could be a multi week thing.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
And that's the toe more so than the shoulder.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Yes, did someone's up on his foot in the pocket?
Do you know how the toe injury happened? Yeah, I
think it happened scrambling.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
I think when I'm love tackle him by the sideline,
I believe it happened.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
We was playing through that in the game or is
just something you found out later?
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Was where Yeah, he got grilled there he was like
he was like being integragated or interrogated rather interrogated by
the by the cops. All right, so mac Jones under
this scenario, mac Jones will be QB number one when
the forty nine day the New Orleans football team if
brock Purty cannot play. So let us discuss the question
(04:06):
what is the biggest difference between brock Purty and mac Jones.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
So I've got Dino Nuggets, Johnny.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Depp and Icy Hot and those are three things that
have never been put together. But we're gonna put him
together and play connect three. So a who goofed? I've
got to know right now, we have poked fun at
brock Purty.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
We have had a lot.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Of fun, and we've been right with our analysis at
brock Purty. I think as he's played, the more he's played,
the more his frailties have been exposed, and the real
football people know he's not all that good, right, And
we pointed that out as weakness is because it's part
of the job as a talk shows. However, if you're
being totally honest here, brock Purty, well, he is certainly
(04:54):
not Peyton Manning or Patrick Mahomes or something like that
compared to Max Jones, though It's like going from a
nice meal at Dave's Hot Chicken and then he said, well,
I can't go there.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I can't find one. I don't want that Nashville Hot Chicken.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
So instead I'm just gonna microwave some Dino nuggets and
that's what I'm gonna eat. Like brock Perty's strength is
that he hasn't screwed up too much. That he's kind
of the little wind up toil toy for Kyle Shanahan's offense.
That he reads the defense and he'll get rid of
the ball and as long as the playmakers are matriculating
(05:31):
the ball down the field, he's fine. Mac Jones from
his time with the Patriots, he will stare down that linebacker.
He'll give that linebacker elevator eyes man up and down
and all around, and it's like it's.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
His prom date.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
And then he'll still throw the linebacker the ball, which
you shouldn't do. Not that I played quarterback in the NFL,
but forty four interceptions in less than sixteen hundred pass
attempts for Mac Jones, you don't have to be a
quarterback coach. You know that blows. It's not just bad,
it's like working at Santa's workshop in the gift wrapping
(06:08):
department when it comes to turnovers and on his best day,
Mac Jones on his very best day, which of course
means as good as all the rest.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
He's mid. He's not a good quarterback, Mac Jones.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
He's just good enough to keep you from immediately cutting him.
And so he'll have a job in the NFL because
he shows up to practice and he's a good practice player.
But he's that guy that you you know, you kind
of regret the whole thing, but you want to get
away from the person. Like dating, you want to get
away from the person, but you don't really have anything
(06:40):
else to do on a Friday night, so you're like,
I will hang out with him whatever. But he's bad
enough to lose winnable games, and that's the issue, and
I have.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
No skin in the game.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I know that our guys are Nesto and some of
the other forty nine are Pa Jay Scoop and Alameda
Loo and those guys that are big forty nine er
fans and some others.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
They're the show. You're a RAM fan, what do you?
You don't know what you're telling you this jet listen.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
I know Mac Jones from watching these games and being
on Benny versus the Penny all these years and handicapping
the games. So he's he's bad enough to lose winnable games,
He's not bad enough to be out of the league.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
That's the point, right And.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Brock perty he doesn't elevate players, that's our main argument.
And mac Jones he actively pulls them down into the
mud with him.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
And so that's the other issue.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Now, Paige Shu looking at the upcoming game because it's interesting.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
It looks like the forty nine ers are going to
go with mac Jones.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
So with that as the backstory, who's under more pressure
this week? Is it mac Jones taking over at quarterback
or is it Kyle Shanahan who has to draw up
the playbook for mac Jones. So the arrow on this
one is clearly pointing the direction of mac Jones. The
(07:56):
guy's career is dangling by a threat. He went from
the supposed savior of the Patriots and the hand picked
quarterback by Bill Belichick, and he was gonna be the
guy that leads New England out of a deep dark
place there and the next great Patriot quarterback. He was
rudely kicked out of the Northeast and sent to Jacksonville.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
It's like, well, that's a kind of a homecoming form
right Jacksonville.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
And he was an afterthought in Jacksonville, and now he
goes to the forty nine ers and it's like a
charity case for Kyle Shanahan to put him out there.
So he absolutely he needs Mac Jones needs a big
game like Johnny Depp needed Pirates of the Caribbean four.
Because without it, I mean, if he goes out there
and loses to the Saints, I mean he is wo wow.
(08:46):
You know, maybe he can be clipboard guy forever, but
most likely not even that. I mean Jones argument has
been the Jones camp, if there is such a thing
as a Jones camp, is that he's been surrounded by
flotsam and jetsam. That in in New England they just
had bad football players around him, and in Jacksonville they
had underachieving but talented players. The Niners are supposed to
(09:08):
be different. Now, they did have a down year last year.
If the Niner rosters supposed to be an upgrade, now
that's debatable. And we know that Kyle Shanahan is going
to spoon feed mac Jones with his celebrated offensive system,
which every broadcaster on television loves to tell you is
the greatest thing ever. And can he play Shanahan hide
(09:30):
the quarterback like its backyard football?
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Can he do that now?
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Other than Christian McCaffrey. You look at that Niner depth chart, There.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Is no juice. Where's the juice? There is no juice there.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
You've got a mid quarterback in mac Jones, You've got
mid weapons, and you've got Shanahan who's doing some meatball
surgery trying.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
To put it all together.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Now, if they weren't playing the Saints, who are actively
waving the white flag.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
They don't. They're not even trying.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
They're they're not even Spencer Rattler is their quarterback for
God's sakes, right, So this would be a certified disaster.
Like the Niners, as bad as you think they're gonna
win just because they're the better.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Team, that doesn't always work out that way.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
And there's something the points spread his involvements, But in
terms of the evidence here, George Kittle on injured reserves,
so he's not gonna play their safety blanket tight end
Juwan Jennings is dinged up so now you're most likely
rolling with Kendrick Bourne, who was an ex patriot, and
Ricky Piersall those are your options on offense.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
And so what does that mean? That means the.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Usual screens dump off to Christian mccafrey. It's Christian McCaffrey left,
and then when you get tired of that, it's Christian
McCaffrey to the right, and you pray for a busted
play and he takes it to the ouse like Shanahan's
gonna be the chef here calling up the plays and
he'll be cooking with the ingredients are spam and saltines
instead of wago beef.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
So there's no wagoo beef. Now, good luck on that.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
And again Mac, the drama here is that Mack is
playing for his football life. He's playing for his football life.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
And if you look.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
At how he has played up until this point, which
is all we have to judge him on, he has
struggled pre snap. He appears to have no idea how
to read. He's illiterate when it comes to reading a blitz.
You can't do that to save his life and the
Saints even in tankment though, here's the odd thing about
it like, even as bad as the Saints are, there's
still a few good players on the defense on defense
(11:29):
and they can't dial up some pressure. So it's kind
of like sending a man who can't swim into the
wavepool at six Flags Hurricane Harbor. You just put him
out there, and it's probably not a good idea. It's
probably not so all right now, last word, we head
from the forty nine Ers and we go to Petsburg, PA,
(11:52):
the land of the Insers, and that's where we have
our weekly.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Dose up and rats. Yes, Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
So the Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, he announced despite having
good numbers against the Jets' former team and the Steelers
winning that game, Rogers said that his back was tight
in Week one and that kept him from moving how
he typically moves. He said he actually ran into one
(12:22):
or two sacks against the Jets. Quote Rogers said, I
might be old, but I still feel like I can
move around pretty good, and I wasn't.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Moving the way I usually like to move close.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Quote all right, So question on this one for the
esteem panel, what is your takeaway from Aaron Rodgers saying
that his back was essentially barking harf, horf horf. Sounded
like that his back was barking, harf harf, just like
Andre's dog, right, just like his dog there willis. So
(12:54):
the Steelers, the way I look at this, they have
themselves a middle aged quarterback.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
That's kind of my opinion, is not an outrageous opinion.
That's what he is, you know, in life and in football,
he's an old quarterback. But after that opening scene, right,
I mean that was the opening scene of the of.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
The play, and Rogers essentially hit us with the dreaded
middle aged lament one game in, so using the Mallord decoder,
the Mallard decoder, it's Rogers essentially saying, hey, Mike chiropractor
is now more important than my offensive coordinator. It's the
(13:31):
NFL's version of that classic line from an old TV
show called The Honeymooners and Ralph Cramton who said it best,
oh my aching back, right, and Rogers, you know, he's
giving you the hippodrome sneak preview of what's coming uh
to soon to a stadium near you. So it's one
(13:52):
game in and Rogers is already saying, hey, my back
is barking. Let's fast forward now, ahead in the broadcast
until December in Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce, day thirty one
degrees cloudy, just overcast, wind blowing off the Alleghany and the.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Confluence right there. And you think that.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Back is going to feel looser in those conditions, I
don't know. I'm asking for a friend. Yeah, all right, Now,
now that back is going to sound like a rusty
screen door in a windstorm by the time we get
to December, if he's even still out there by the
time we get December. So, no matter how much it's
a good lesson here, no matter how much ayahuasca one drinks,
(14:36):
Rogers is still like the rest of us who reach
middle aged.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Right.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
He still thinks he can dance like he did in
his twenties, except when he goes to the club. Now
he hits the dance floor and a couple songs later,
he's rubbing icy hot all over his body. He is
oiled up with icy hot. That's how he's doing it.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Now. He's at the athletic.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Stage of life where occasionally tying one shoes is a
warm up.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Exercise, and you go to the gym, say did you
did you warm up?
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:08):
I warmed up? What you do.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
I tied my shoes. Well that's not warming up well
for me, it's warming up. So that's I tied my shoes.
Well that's not really warming up well for me, it's
tied my shoves. Now, where will you bend over? You know,
you bend over to pick up the remote and suddenly
you need an MRI that kind of thing. So keep
an eye on this. We obviously will. We have nothing
else going on. But by week eight, every time Rogers
tries to roll out, it's coming to look like your
(15:30):
uncle Harvey getting off the couch there and you know,
watching after watching seven hours of commercials that you used
to have no commercials on that Red Zone channel. So
a lot of creeks, cracks, groans, all that. That's the
soundtrack for A and Raders.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
So it's a bit of foreshadowing.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
It's a bit of foreshadowing, a preview of future coming attractions.
And when the back locks up in September, it's a
bad sign or December. So instead of the terrible towel,
they should change it up. I got an idea. Now,
I'm a marketing guy. You said what you used an
overnight I am an overnight guy. But I'm a marketing guy,
(16:10):
Mallard Marketing. How about this promotional giveaway a lot of teams.
Football teams don't usually give stuff away because they don't
need to. They only play eight games year. Baseball teams
give you a bobble Dodgers have had four bobblehead nights
for Showhale, tony four of them. Four of them, and
people still line up six hours before the game.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
To get a o Tani babblett.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
It's like, hey, it's not that limited dummy anyway, That's
not the point. Football teams normally don't give stuff away.
The Steelers are known for what they're known for, the
terrible towel. I'm now the marketing director of the Pittsburgh Steels.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Here's what I do. I go out online and I purchase.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Forty thousand heating pads, and I put the Steeler logo
on them, and I have a promotion Aaron Rodgers Heating
Pad Night. On one side. I put the Steeler logo.
On the other side, I put a mug shot of
Aaron Rodgers. Boom done. What a great promotion, all right?
(17:11):
The terrible heating pads and put those out. Who says
no to that? Come on, it's a good idea. I
know you're shaking your head. That's a good idea. You
can't come up with any better than that, can you know?
It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you would like
to be part you can join us right now at

that would be unfortunate if that was the case. And
that's most likely the reality of the situation. So it's
(17:58):
not every day an NFL player that you've heard of,
an NFL player that you've heard of, calls his team immature.
That has happened, an NFL player calling his team his
teammates immature.

It would appear the forty nine Ers, barring some kind
of holy water.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Being tossed on to the toe oh my aching toe
for brock Purty, and it'll be not marching into the
Superdome there in the Bayou, and instead it'll be Mac
Jones a late night drug tes to rights and says
Aaron Rodgers' back issues has.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Nothing to do with football.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
It's all from him dealing with the honeymoon phase of
his marriage. Yes, yes, I'm sure he should have. That
would have been funny if you know I didn't get
hurt against the just my wife, my fake wife. Uh
she by the way, my wife. Good friends with Mantai
Teo's old girlfriend. Very good friends, very very very good friends.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Yeah, uh super.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Marcus Steve says, I'm surprised that you didn't lead tonight
show with monologue about the Yankees getting absolutely smashed the
last two games against the Tigers.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
I guess I would have to wait for a later monologue.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Except you never posted the the rundown.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
He says, shame on you bet.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Oh see this guy super market Steve is such a schmuck,
he's ah, And I don't I don't do lists, you know,
Terry in England, I don't, as you know, I don't.
I don't believe in the list thing and all that.
But but I do believe in and I believe this
is accurate. I'm a big believer in big boards. And
is there a bigger schmuck than supermarket Steve. I mean
(23:08):
it'd be tough, right, it'd be tough to I mean,
who would be ahead of him on the schmuck list
if you were to make the schmuck or big board
big boarder schmucks.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
I think he'd be right there.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
I don't know how anyone could be ahead of him
on that. But the rundown will be coming. There's a
lot of spinning plates, and when you're spinning a lot
of plates, sometimes they don't all stay up spinning.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
So I see here. Shane and de.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Moines says, we need more calls from Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Bet no, we don't.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
We take calls whether you're in Des Moines like you are,
Shane and des Moines, or Manhattan or Brooklyn. We had
a call from Alaska last night, was cool. We have
plenty of people listening in the Great state of Maine,
so we got everything covered. We're good on that, Ryan says,
f the forty nine ers, and they have a cream
puff schedule this year. Yes, but even if you have
a cream puff schedule. If you're also a cream puff,
(24:06):
you end up having some problems there.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Yeah, there you go. Absolutely, let's see here.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Spos Weed says, how come you you dudes are mentioned
so much?
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Always upset?
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Oh, this is spos Weed upset that Ferg Dog and
Alf are getting mentioned on the show. And I do
get emails. It's pretty funny because most of this is
on the fifth hour. I don't get a lot during
the week but on the weekends.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
So many winy people. It's you know what. My theory
is that the guys are they're jealous.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
It's very bizarre to me that these guys get jealous
that certain people get more attention. But hey, listen, the
reason I'll tell you I don't I've never met either
one of these guys. I've never met Ferg Dog, I've
ever met Alf. They've never come to any of the
events I've done. I came close to meeting Alf in
Boston last year. Unfortunately there was a tropical storm thing
(24:59):
and he couldn't and so that did not happen. And
fer Dog, you know, he's a man of mystery. He
used to be roommates with Brian Finley and all that stuff,
and I think he's I think he's on probation. He
can't leave his home there. He's probably got one of
those ankle things on, so that's probably why. But I've
never made any one of them. But these guys anything,
I do you understand, I'm on overnight, I do the
weekend podcast. These guys are always listening. They listen to everything.
(25:23):
They listen more than my bosses here at Fox Sports Radio,
like they do them and Justin and Cincinnati. But Justin's
kind of like semi retired now. He's getting older and
all that stuff, so's it's harder for him to.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Interact as much, I guess. But the rest of the guys, I.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Mean, they're they're everything, They're everywhere, They're omnipresident. When I
fill in, and I don't do this much, you know,
rare and appropriate. Somebody will call me up from an
affiliate and say, hey, you want to fill in and
do a daytime show or something like that.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Oh, well, how much does it pay? And it pays?
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Up will pay some peanuts? Okay, I like peanuts. How
about macadamianus. We can't afford macadamian it's just peanut. Well
I want Macadamian as well. We can't do peanuts about Cashoes. Okay,
Cashow's all there. I'm there, So I take Cashows and
then I do I do the show. So and Loreno
was actually you were telling us in the production meeting
that you had a dinner and a show. I brought
(26:15):
that up. And you had a nice dinner in a show.
And this is your thing, right, you'd like the dinner
and the show.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
That, Yes, this is real nice. You eat what you
see on the screen. Ben, Well, while.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
You watch jokes, it could be made depending what you're watching,
you know.
Speaker 8 (26:32):
It could get a little scandalous.
Speaker 6 (26:34):
You know.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
So if you're watching like an old school Disney movie,
uh and you know the.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Dalmatians, you could be eating spaghetti, you know like that.
Speaker 8 (26:41):
Yeah right, so you're thinking probably Lady in the Tramp exactly.
Speaker 9 (26:44):
Yeah, so spaghetti for that one.
Speaker 8 (26:46):
She said, Home Alone is a fun movie to go and.
Speaker 9 (26:48):
Watch for that. Or if you watch Bambi, you get
to eat.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
See that's what you should do. Cool. I'll get into
business with you.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
We'll start a movie theater where we put really really
nasty food.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Look at some horror.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Movies, you know, it's like, here's the here's the Jeffrey Dahmer.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Jeffrey Dahmer and human he went to Ohio State.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
By the way, jeffreyst well the buck eye, which is
a is a nut.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
But yeah, anyway, super markets, super.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Market Steve says, I spent I spent money to help
you get into your own fantasy football league and told
you to keep the profits and take your wife out
to a nice dramatic dinner. And I'm the biggest schmuck
you have ever met, he says. You're see, you're just
very needy, Supermarket Steve.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
You are.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
And I find your your wife to be a very polite, one,
very nice kind woman.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
You're a schmuck. She's nice. But you I don't know
about you. I don't know about you. I'm not sure
what's going on with that? What else we have?
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Fergdok says, looks like the season's already over for Terry
in England's forty nine ers. At least he still has
your big boards to look forward to. Here's an idea
for you one for one, Ben, do a big board
on quarterbacks better than Rock Purty. Okay, how about I'll
name thirty five. I guess thirty five.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
I'll just keep going and going and going and going
and going and going and going. Nature boy rights and says,
how about Honey Badger's hairstyle hairstyle night for the Steelers.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
I think I think it'll be.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
A great, a great promotion. So he says, all right,
we'll take a phone call here.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
And let's the eenie meany miny Moe. Pick a caller
by the name.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Let's say hello to Big Daddy, who's in Memphis. Hello,
Big Daddy, welcome.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Now, hello my fan and all my substituents.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
He is Banda is a deer.
Speaker 8 (29:02):
Uh, he's technically a fawn and then he's going to
be a buck because he's a boy.
Speaker 9 (29:08):
So Bambi, Yeah, but it's his mom.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
They get shot.
Speaker 8 (29:11):
But he asked what Bambi was.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
He's deer is good.
Speaker 7 (29:17):
But do you know.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
How come they when you when you eat deer, they
say you're eating venison. But why don't they just say
you're eating deer. I don't understand. It's disturbed.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
I have no idea. It's probably because it's tough.
Speaker 9 (29:31):
That's a good point, Ben, but they have to go
with some fancy word for it.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Why, yeah, exactly, Like just say you're eating deer, that's
what you're eating, or eating a deer Benson for you.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Know what I was So, let me tell you, I
was so stupid, big daddy. For years, I didn't know what.
I thought.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Venison was a different animal I've never heard of. I
didn't realize it was just deer.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
I like, what is that that?
Speaker 4 (29:53):
That's what the word is? A deer?
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Yeah, we covered I think it's technically elk, So venison
is elk.
Speaker 8 (30:03):
So when you go hunting, you can't hunt the female deer.
You're supposed to only hunt the male.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
I googled it.
Speaker 9 (30:08):
It just says the primary difference is that deer is
the animal, while venison is the meat from the deer.
Speaker 8 (30:15):
I think you're supposed to hunt males. Go and look
that up.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Now that the deer in the animal community are four
legged rats.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
That right, they're they're they're they're large rats. The deer.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Yeah, I was driving I drove across years ago with
my my younger brother.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
We drove across Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
And there were so many deer out in the sticks
out there, and they run right in front of your car.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
I used to wonder way. These cars always hit these deer.
They're everywhere and they tear your car.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Oh that's what I don't understand.
Speaker 8 (30:46):
What do they have when they fight it?
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Man?
Speaker 2 (30:48):
They well they're pretty, they're pretty spinley and they're not
that I mean, unless you had a baby deer.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
They're pretty decent.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
No big going on looking man, than got They come
out of new work.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Yeah the loan God Rose where you.
Speaker 6 (31:10):
Go down there and get that lot of late you
know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Yeah, all right, Well, thank you, big Daddy. I appreciate
that you're a big You wanted to make sure that
your fans know that you're still there and you let
them know you are still alive. And well the great
Big Daddy check it in. So how about this story.
It's very rare that an NFL player one week into
(31:35):
the season essentially announces that his team is immature.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
But we take your.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Dateline Baltimore, where sports with Coleman's Ravens played gutless football
down the stretch as they rolled over, got in the
fetal position and lost a game that had a big
lead in against the Buffalo Bills in that Sunday night
game and Marlon Humphrey Humphy d. Humphrey came out and
(32:02):
called out the Ravens defense after the Bills lost and
said that they must quote work on our maturity. That
was his quote, work on our maturity. Which if you
need to work on your maturity, is it wrong of
me to say that you are immature? Otherwise you would
not need to work on your maturity. That is a
(32:22):
raven defensive back Marlin Humphrey. After this team do a
fifteen point fourth quarter lead, he said, quote, it's very
clear we've got great players on both sides of the ball.
But now you know what but means, yeah, he said,
but defensively, we have to work on our maturity. Yeah,
that is a sign that they thought the game was
(32:42):
over and they were not playing at full full pedal
of the mount that they took their foot off the
pedals and they thought they had the game in the bag,
and they ended up getting burned and they ended up
losing the game. So that's that's what that sounds like
on this side of the radio. Anyway, It is the
(33:06):
Ben Mahler Show. Take some more of these riveting phone calls.
We also have the Play of the Day coming up
in a little bit time now, though for the who
am I?

the things we're.
Speaker 2 (33:28):

forbid you listen and not know what's coming up. It
might drive you insane and you might start becoming a
I can't say.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Anyway, here is the who am I? Game?
Speaker 2 (33:41):
So New Orleans quarterback Spencer Rattler, who is zero to
seven as a starter in the NFL heading into Sunday's
game with the Niners, now the Browns legend, the immortal
Deshaun Kaiser is the only quarterback to have started that
many games or more and never won. But I have
(34:02):
the second most losses to start my career before winning
a game, behind Deshaun Kaiser. So again, Spencer Rattler, New
Orleans Quarterbacks O one seven as a starter heading into
the weekend against the Niners. The Browns Legend. Mister Kaiser
there the only quarterback to have started that many games
and never won. And I have the second most losses
(34:24):
to start my career before I finally won a game.

Speaker 1 (35:55):

am I?
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Game? But do you want to learn all the billiots
and mainly that schmuck supermarket Steve that the rundown has
been sent on the X machine at Ben Mather if
you want to see that. But before we get to
the payoff on the wh MI game, let's go now
to the play of the day in Major League Baseball,
(36:19):
and we go to the Pacific Northwest, the long suffering
Seattle Mariners trying to get off the snide make the
playoffs again and then make some noise in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
And they were they were.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Not going that great against the Saint Louis Cardinals. And
we go to the thirteenth inning in Seattle Mariners and Cardinals,
an extra inning affair for the tire rack.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Play of the night.
Speaker 10 (36:44):
I have a pitch on the way to Leo not
Buddy swinging flight ball deep right field, down the line,
walking off Leo Revers hold walk up to run home run.
Good Bye baseball. The Maritis sweep the Cardinals in the
three game series. They have won five in row.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
Oh look hold ron.
Speaker 10 (37:06):
A two run shot by Leo Revos, the Marions winning
four to two, hit thirteen innings, Leo getting mobbed at
home play.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
The iconic voice of Rick Riz on Mariners, I believe
that Mariner radio call there.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
That is the tire i Raq play of the night.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
The Leo Revos lead off home run bottom of the
thirteenth which turns out to be a two one home
run because that dumb rule in baseball where they have
the ghost runner. But for over forty years, tire rack
has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive, ship fast and freeback by
free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like Mulbile
tire Installation, tire rack dot Com the way tire bond
should be. So the Mariners complete the sweep.
Speaker 4 (37:44):
There.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
They're one game behind the cheating Astros in the American
League West, and they have a one and a half
game lead over the Rangers for that final American League
wild Card spot time. Now though, for the payoff on
the whom I game? This is where we pretend to
be somebody else. So sat quarterback Spencer Rattlers own seven
to begin his career going into that game with the Niners.
(38:05):
Now Brown's legend Deshaun Kaiser is the only quarterback to
have started that many games and never won.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
