And how do you see things working out for the
Cowboys without ceedee lamb For likely the next month, we'll
(00:42):

dot Com. I have fond memories of seeing the Harlem
Globe Trotters when I was a kid and I didn't
realize that the Washington Generals were actors. I thought they
were real and I was blown away about how bad
they were I was like, Wow, that's like the worst
basketball team ember. That was a team they played all
(02:28):
the time. But I don't know if they still play
them or not. Anyway, our lead this hour. We talked
earlier about the Monday night game, a surprising result as
the Detroit Lions kicking the tukis of the Baltimore Ravens.
So it was only an eight point game. But if
you saw the game at the line of scrimmage in
the trenches, trench warfare, dominate, blocking and tackling, blocking and tackling,
(02:52):
blocking and tackling, and the Lions did better there. But
we move on from that. We have a developing story
out of Jerry's world, and that is where star defensive
end and former Dallas player Micah Parsons, who was one
of the faces of the Dallas Cowboys defense for four seasons,
(03:14):
barely remember this, but apparently he didn't do quite enough,
quite enough to get one of those Jumbo Tron video tributes,
the thing of a Jigs on the Jumbo Tron, the
what you might call it. Now, what is my evidence?
My evidence is the Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. Jerry Jones
(03:36):
said that the team will not will not have a
tribute video for Micah Parsons when he returns to the
scene of the crime in Jerry's world this weekend. Do
you agree or disagree with the Dallas Cowboys position that
they will not will not be putting one of those
(03:58):
video tributes up on the score. So I've got tractor supply,
tow truck, and kiss and we will combine all of
these things together and we are going to make some
chicken wings, just like the ones Moving Man Matt made.
He told me in his truck right here out in
front of the studio. So why not live the life?
(04:19):
That's a As Loraina pointed out, that truck is bigger
than most studio apartments, at least in Manhattan. I don't
know about it in La but it's a massive, massive, huge,
that's what she said. All right, So number one, all right,
unpopular opinion to some, but the proper opinion to most.
(04:40):
Jerry Jones got this one right. Don't cave Jerry, don't
do it. Don't cave Jerry Jones. Good job by you. Listen,
Michah Parsons, he didn't want to be a cowboy anymore,
otherwise he would have stayed there, right, So the Cowboys
ended up trading him to Green Bay. Now, all of
a sudden, he loves lambeau Field and all that, and
I hope he enjoys that. But Michael Parsons was a
(05:02):
He was a box score stuffer, is what he was.
We talked about it at the time he was playing
for the Cowboys. This is not revisionist history. We're talking
about it right now. But hollow numbers, s p stat padding,
a lot of stat padding there. Now, this is not
some Super Bowl darling that was the MVP and dominated
(05:23):
the Super Bowl for the Dallas Cowboys. In the big picture,
you look at he's like, well listen, Jerry Jones and
the Dallas Cowboys look at Michah Parsons so like it
was like a what' even a cup of coffee And
wasn't even a cup of coffee his time in Dallas
and Parsons is basically a guy who loads up garbage
(05:43):
time fantasy points. And he did it time after time
after time, right, And it's all the kind of guy
like in the equivalent would be in basketball, where the
guy will go out there and drop twenty two points
in the fourth quarter, and like woll it's impressive and
then you're like, well they were actually down by thirty
at the start of a quarter, and said, well, it
(06:04):
doesn't really matter. It's not that big a deal. So
Jerry Jones is actually shockingly the grown up in the
room on this Micah Parsons video tribute thing, because the
thing that so many people in sports do, they're all
a bunch of SAPs, and it's heartstrings marketing and all that,
and we've got to give everyone a video tribute and
all that. I love the fact that Cowboys are not
(06:25):
doing it. I love it. Jerry Jones is saying, hey,
you might not think we have standards, but we have
standards here with the Dallas Cowboys, and we're not just
gonna throw a state funeral every time some guy leaves
and we trade him to another team. That's not how
this operates. Right. Thank god, there's somebody in sports unlike
that Damn Dodgers, right with Clayton Kershaw, who they had
(06:47):
a losing record when Kershaw started the playoffs, and the
damn Dodgers they went down to track their supply, got
some shovels, and they started digging the pitching rubber up
for Clayton Kershaw. Like it was some kind of religious experience.
It was so stupid, so dumb. I mean, nobody did
anyone over there say what are you doing? You morons?
(07:08):
Well look how stupid we look. He's not dead. What
do you do? At least the Cowboys aren't like the Dodgers,
so good for them. Good for them. And Michael Parsons
is the Dak Prescott of defense. He is right, all sizzle,
no steak. It's a junk stat machine, is what it is.
Michael Parsons. You know, a better cop would be I
(07:32):
got this NFL's Russell Westbrook. NFL's Russell Westbrook, where you
look at the numbers and you're like, WHOA, get a
little turned on here? Those are good numbers, right, And
then you're like, well, wait a minute. Another triple double,
another triple double, another triple double, meaningless, meaningless, empty, empty,
(07:52):
and Jerry Jones, of all people, of all people, Jerry
Jones drawing a line in the same good old Jerry Jones.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Here.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Imagine that Jerry freaking Jones acting like the adult at
the table. Yeah, that's things I cannot believe, things I
cannot believe. There tells you all you need to know,
all you need to know about the Micah Parsons experience
there in Jerry's world, and if Jerry, of all people,
(08:24):
who loves a promotion as much as anybody, but he's like, well,
the Cowboys don't retire numbers. They're not going to do
a sizzle video for a guy that didn't want to
be with the Cowboys and then took off be a
trade and you know, not like the Cowboys miss him.
They would have sucked if he had stayed there. Now
they suck without him, but they're the same team they
(08:45):
would have been, whether Parsons is there or not. A
bad team. Now, speaking of the Cowboys, we have wide
receivers C. D. Lamb, who could miss now three to
four weeks because of a high ankle spraye, oh my ankle. Yeah,
he suffered that in the loss to the chicag Go
(09:06):
Bears over the weekend there in Chicago. So coach Brian
Schottenheimer did not did not put a timetable on the
possibility of Ceedee Lamb returning. He said, quote, he'll miss
some time, but CD is a guy who heals quickly
and blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, He'll do
everything this power blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah. Al right, so question,
(09:30):
how do you see things working out for the Cowboys
without Ceedee Lamb for let's say the next month, the
next month, the Cowboys without Ceedee Lamb so much like
the Cowboys with Michaeh. Parsons or without Michael Parsons, I
don't see much of a change. I don't see much
(09:50):
of a change looking at the Dallas Cowboys there and
they have been serving up humdrum football. Now, the Giants
game was exciting until you realize it's embarrassing that the
Cowboys had to go overtime neck and neck with Russell
Wilson and Jackson Dart to get the win. That's embarrassing.
And then you look at the Cowboy roster said, well
a humdrum and all that. When you look at the
(10:12):
Cowboys set up outside of Ceedee Lamb and Dak Prescott
a lot of generic a lot of generic brands. So now
I'm okay with generic brand because you save a little money,
save a little money, I'm okay with that. And the
moneyball adage has always gone when anytime, anytime a star
player gets hurt. The adage from moneyball is it is
(10:33):
impossible to replace the player, but it is possible to
recreate him in the aggregate. That's the that's the big
nerd word they use in the aggregate. So you multiple
people step up and then the collective will end up
in a situation where they they're in better shape or
at least as good as shape. But again, you look
(10:55):
at the roster and there's a lot of flotsam and
jetsam on the roster. It just this, that's the this
team has been put together, and you takeam ceedee. Lambs
had some issues. He didn't play particularly well in Game
one against the Philadelphia Eagles. We ripped him on a
mal of monologue after that game. But you look at everything,
and so you do the math on this. You've got
(11:16):
a quarterback who's good but not great, Dak Prescott, good
but not great. You've got a running game which is
just average, nothing special, just average running game. You've got
a bunch of receivers who could not separate from a
folding chair at this particular point. So you've got the
(11:36):
secondary receivers for the Cowboys are Jalen Tolbert and Cavante Turpin.
Those are the receivers for the Cowboys. So Jerry Jones
needs a tow truck, is what he needs?
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Right.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Ceedee Lamb was the was the guy the last couple years,
at least in games against lesser opponent. Ceedee Lamb would
win one on one matchups and stretch the field and
make a play and break up open from the benign
of the normal Cowboys. Now he said, what about George
Pickens by George, And that is true. George Pickens is there,
(12:10):
and the scouting report on George Pickens is talented but moody.
Talented but moody. They also have tight end Jake Ferguson,
who's essentially a glorified safety valve. So he's in the
offense as well, and yeah, that'll work out great, right, Well,
what could possibly be wrong? And then you've got Brian
Schottenheimer and you're like, well, what's going on here? And
we know he's a sock puppet and all that. This
(12:32):
guy has been fired more times, he's had more jobs
around football. He's been fired more than a cannon at
a revolutionary war re enactment. Okay, he has had by
my count, twelve jobs around big time in college football
in the NFL, from the Saint Louis Rams to the
Kansas City Chiefs. Owner of his dad hired him, Syracuse,
(12:54):
USC Georgia, the Redskins, they were called the Redskins. Then
we're allowed to say at the San Diego Chargers, the Colts,
the Seahawks, the Jaguars, and now the Dallas Cowboys. So
he is going, we're supposed to think that he's going
to scheme up George Pickens and some of those other
receivers to make up for Ceedee Lamb. Police Now maybe
Jerry Jones will. Of course, Jerry is saying everything's everything's fine.
(13:17):
So let's assume the position. Let's assume the position that
Ceedee Lamb is going to miss. Let's say he misses
four games, right, four games. So if he misses four games,
the Cowboys go where they go one in three, If
everything goes right, they go two and two. Defense. I
say the defense bails him out. Is that even possible
the way the Cowboys are playing defense at this particular point.
(13:39):
Now that being said, let's be honest here though, all right,
this is a soft, marshmallowy football team. This is a
soft football team. They have a soft coach and they
have a soft quarterback, and it's it's all the same.
And so even with Ceedee Lamb, things were bad. They
were not good. When they had Ceedee Lamb, they were bad.
And so now Lamb, you take him out of the equation,
(14:01):
and now they'll get exposed more. And so they're flashy, fragile,
all of that. And when the lights get bright, when
it's light bright, and they'll shrink again, shrink again, sure enough,
because that's what they do all right.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Now.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Final point, So staying with the theme of the hour,
and we mentioned the Baltimore Ravens the worst defense in
the NFL this season following Week threes games which ended
on Monday, Monday, Monday, A just an absolute horrific performance
by the Ravens. They give up thirty eight points and
the Lions did what they want well. The Dallas Cowboys
(14:41):
are not much better at this particular point. They're not
much better than the Baltimore raven In fact, the Dallas
Cowboys right now, if you look at the overall standard,
Cowboys are thirtieth in the NFL in defense. In total defense,
they're thirtieth out of thirty two teams. That's not good.
I didn't play in the NFL, but where I come from,
(15:01):
that's not good. That is not good. Now I bring
this up because you've got some underlying conditions here that
the Cowboys hired a high falutant, supposedly defensive genius. The
guy got a head coaching job in the NFL based
on his defensive pedigree, Matt Iberflus, who was the coach
of the Chicago Bear. So did you see that the
Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer encouraging, encouraging the defensive coordinator, Matt Eberflus,
(15:28):
to simplify, to simplify the playbook, to try to fix
this terrible defense. So what is Shatzi What is he
really saying here? What is the head coach of the
Cowboys really saying with all? So, if you just take
your machete and you just cut through the crap, just
(15:49):
cut through the crap with the machete. There, Schottenheimer is
essentially spelling it all out for you don't really have
to dig that deep. There's not a lot of nuance
to it when a coach says that he wants to
simplify the approach. When that is said, Okay, he's telling
you my players are dumb, the dumb, dumb, dumb, they're
(16:13):
so stupid, the Dallas Cowboy players. They can't understand the scheme,
cannot do it, they don't understand. They're not that right.
That's what he's saying. That's it. Forget all the coach
speak and all it's when you say simplifying, what you
are saying is you're really saying, my guys are unable
(16:34):
to process what we are trying to get them to do,
cannot get it. Well, that's that's what they're saying. So
they're turning to the thing that came out of the military.
It's called the Kiss method. And that's keep it simple, stupid,
the Kiss method. And we've seen this movie before, sitting
in this chair over the years, we've seen this from
(16:54):
time to time and went in doubt. You always strip
it down, down, down, down, down, and you strip it
down and you handhold, and you do the ABC's and
the one two threes, and you treat them like they're
playing pee wee football. Professional football players treated like they're
playing pee wee football, And don't bury the lead, mo man,
(17:16):
We're not gonna bury the lead. This all comes right after,
right after, of course, the famous Micah Parsons trade, who
will not be honored on the jumbo tron when he
goes back with Green Bay this weekend. But the argument
for Micah Parsons is he's the eraser. Of course, we
pointed out a lot of empty stats on that, a
lot of empty stats. So Dallas we mentioned now thirtieth
(17:37):
in well, they're thirtieth in total defense, they're twenty eighth
in scoring defense. Cowboys allowing thirty point seven points per
game this season. The only teams averaging more points on
average are the Chicago Bears, the New York Jets, the Titans,
and the Dolphins. That's it, and even worse in as
(17:57):
we mentioned in the total defense. So you got shot
who's doing a shawnny job as the head coach there.
He knows it's bad, he knows it stinks, and so
that's why he's talking about we need to quote simplify.
It's all about simplifying the playbook there, because right now,
you are trying to polish a turd, is what you're
trying to do. You're trying to polish a turd. That
(18:20):
is what you are attempting to do. That is the
reality of the situation. You can spray cologne on it
if you want little split splits just like that. You
can do that. You can wrap it in tinfoil if
you choose to do that. Whatever, it still stinks, it
doesn't matter. It does not smell good. And Dallas's defense,
they look like a bunch of guys that just met
(18:41):
each other, and they just met each other and they're
trying to solve advanced calculus, but they can barely get
through long division. So they're cooked. They're absolutely cooked. And
it's not about scheme, it's not about that, it's about survival. Well,
this dumb it down. We'll play a basic defense and
(19:03):
instead of getting completely embarrassed, we'll only get partially embarrassed,
and that'll be good. It is the Ben Mahlor Show.

to me, these Monday night games are on par with
the Thursday night games, and that's not good. Well, Shane,
you clearly did not watch the game on Monday night
(21:47):
between the Lions and the Ravens because that was a solid,
entertaining game, that was an enjoyable game. So I don't
know where this is coming from. Late Night Drug Tester says,
so the NFL going to add more commerce shull time
outs like the college game. We could all use five
hour game days on Sundays, says the Late Night drug tester.
(22:09):
Who else do we have. Let's see here, Roberto, this

Diego as he continues his pacific sojiour and Moving Man
Matt in his luxury truck. Larana, you did step outside.
(22:33):
You saw the truck in that beautiful rig, right, it
is beautiful. Oh my gosh, he's got the name on it.
You's gotta add another our names and go on the
back of the truck as well. It's right, it's on
the rig and he's gonna put it on the back,
so that'll be very cool there. And it was nice
to see him and put the dog very excited. Louis
was very excited to see me Ben mallor showstickers on
our cars. That's a good point, don't I want.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
People to be able to like follow and tweet at
us and all that fun stuff.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
I know that seems ridiculous put that on my car,
but Lake, yeah, well you know, yeah, well you have
you have like the night Rider car?
Speaker 6 (23:06):
Yeah, windows, I could put blackstickers on it and it's
kind of be like, oh, what'd that say?
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Camouflage? Just Josh writes in from Cincinnati, says that just
might be one of the nicest things we've ever said
about the Cowboys. Man, we suck, and we know we suck,
but we've got standards, damn it. Yeah, that's right, the
Cowboys have standards. Good job by them, damn straight. Parito
rights in. He says, I warned you, Benny, but went
after Kershaw again. I put a spell that you get
(23:35):
the blank in the middle of a cigarette or cigarette rather,
he says, he said sign sig has spelled s I g.
When you talk about the highways anyway, no toilet paper
to help clean them back, So Purito, I'll address this
in a future episode. Show. So I'm getting a lot
of blowback, like what is wrong with the Dodger coop?
They dug up the mound coop at Dodger Stadium for Kusher?
(23:59):
Does that not seem a little over the top. They
literally dug up the pitching rubber at Dodger Stadium for Kershaw.
It was like a symbolic thing where they gave it
to his kids. I don't understand why anyone thought that
was a good idea is a franchise legend. Yeah, they
had a losing record in playoff games he started. He
(24:20):
cost them multiple World series because of his incompetence. Is malfeasans, Like,
why do you celebrate that? I mean, fine, regular season
on a Wednesday against the Rockies, okay, fine, but in
a playoff game, no chance, no chance? All right, it
is the Ben Mallor Show. Let's go to the phones.
We'll say hello to Jed who fled? Who's up next?
(24:41):
Hello Jed who fled?
Speaker 7 (24:45):
Hello, Ben Mallor the radio show. I'm thinking the post
game professional athletes interviews are like normalization porn for the
average states to this site because like the financial income
and the athletic prowess between the citizens and athletes, professional
athletes very large. So they because if you stuck a
(25:07):
microphone in Maximus Decimus Maridis's face right after he got
at the Roman Colstee, you know and killing commedists, he
probably stab you too. You don't do that, and so
they don't say this to make your literacy, you know,
situation where the gods to some athletes, some athletes.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Just very very well.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Okay, so let me let me, let me clean this up.
So what you're saying is the postgame interviews are a
waste of time. Is that what you're saying, right, because
you know what they're going to say, Thank you for.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Phrasing let me clean this up and making me look
like a post game interview act.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Yes, yes, yes, and you were people. People don't. People
don't believe this because they only know you as the
character Jed who fled, the character Jed who fled. But
at one point you were an athlete. At one point
you were one of the people that would say the cliches,
right that you would come out and say they made
more plays than we did. This loss doesn't define us
all those I'm proud of our team. We played really hard,
(25:58):
like all those OK cliches. You are the people saying
that stuff.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Yes, well you got to give one hundred percent, you
know you gotta do That's good.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Yes, But you know what, we just got to play
more consistently, Jed. We just got to play more consistently.
We want to win. We got to play better. That's it.
Speaker 7 (26:19):
The win.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
The where, the how the how has been out putting
me on the radio? Now? Yeah, do that familiar with
a want of transfer rud You're familiar probably with identity thefts.
What I'm thinking is I find a major university in
Io Sudar Daddy, and I somehow stak on I get
myself an inn io deal that I don't even have
to be there to get paid to do. I just
(26:40):
got to get a lot of hype. I got to
get a real good with additional the cyber. Yeah, I
gotta give it a cyber And I'm I don't I
don't think that. I don't think I think I could
emit the journey that wasn't a crime, dude, like pretending
to be part of Florida football team at Florida State
fans and you know, giving them out of money, Like, hey,
your football team's got some ass dat stand royalty his
cousin and if you pay me, I could explain it
(27:02):
in more detail. You know needs to be paid. You
know that a little bit.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
You have a question, what are you talking about?
Speaker 7 (27:10):
Huh oh right, you don't know.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
I have no idea what he's talking about. Does anyone
know what he's talking about? Am I the only one?
I'm completely lost? He's something about pretending.
Speaker 7 (27:20):
To be I have become comfortably dumb.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
I thought I was a training Well man, it's it's
you know, where's it tougher than you? Then you think
they're going to be prior to drug addictions. And then
all of a sudden, you look, time goes that's that's
time going forward in big amounts.
Speaker 7 (27:36):
And then you're like, I cannot form my sentences, and
then I want to.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Mock other people for it, like I used to go
and karma has come full circle and and I read
and let us go across the page left right now,
But I can't really form words.
Speaker 7 (27:50):
It's not just to buss it.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
What do you do? Whenever he's like, people ask you,
why do you take calls? Man? What do you say? Whenever?
Speaker 1 (27:56):
They just like you think I agree with him. I
don't don't know why I take calls. I don't.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
You're a person at the moment, Dudekay, I like you.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Yeah, Well, if.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
People listening right into jokes, send in some jokes, send
in some jokes. Damn it.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Oh yeah, we need we need jokes. Yeah, So I
think what you're trying. I think the metaphor you were
going for, Jed, don't if metaphor is the right where
the analogy you were going for is that be nice
to those of facebooks.
Speaker 7 (28:23):
I'm sorry, you're sure not.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Calm down. So what you were saying was you should
be nice to people that you meet on the way
up because you'll see those same people on the way down. Like,
if you make fun of people for their shortcomings, eventually
those shortcomings will go to you. Is that what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
If you celebrate your drug possession right in front of
somebody that doesn't have any whatever, you're on the way
down and they've got they're gonna have something, You're like,
can I.
Speaker 7 (28:49):
Can hear that?
Speaker 1 (28:50):
But j you've stayed away from the fentanyl, right, you're
not doing the fun you're doing. You know you're doing
other things, but not, don't you.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
I saw my buddy bicyclic and he passed out mid bicycle.
Everybody else was concerned, dude, and we're like, oh, gotta
get some on the drugs. That says hold and I
will I last say hardest face man. I was like,
Hey for winners, Okay.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
All right, I'm gonna go. I go as a jed
who fled. You understood any of that, you might want
to see a doctor if you understood what he was
saying the beginning of that, I understood Benito, the long
suffering cowboy fan rights and says, I I like Jed
off drugs. Dude talks like a normal person. Was that
him off drugs? Was that that was sober clean and
(29:36):
sober Jed? He seemed a little clear. Yeah, okay, let's
see here. Nature boy says, here's something to inspire your
trucker audience out there, and he sent a Mallard show
like a AI thing of a Ben Maller show on
the side of a truck, which is very nice but moving.
Man Matt, who is still listening on his way to
(29:58):
San Diego, says, happy to Louis is snoring away. However,
he spent quite a while for some reason, licking a
lot of personal areas for Louis. There was a lot
of licking going on there, so they're interesting. I wonder why.
I don't know. You must have excited him, then, I
don't think I had a maybia you were out there
(30:18):
with Louis. I had nothing to do with it. I
don't know, no idea. Let's go back to the falls here.
Let's see who do we have any meenie miney moe.
Let's go to Andrea. She's back the astrology insider known
as Virgo and service on ex Hello Andrea, Hello Ben,
how are you? If I was any better, I'd be Louie,
(30:41):
but not Louie the dog, because Louise sleeps twenty hours
a day. That's I mean, that's a tough life. Twenty
hours a day. That's a lot of sleeping.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
You didn't call about that in quite a twenty four hours,
I'll tell you, you know, I really I was on
the show last night. I really enjoyed that. And then
a little before three in the morning, I was still off.
I was making some tea and we had an earthquake
in Berkeley.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Yeah, how big an earthquake? What are we talking about here?
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Oh? Like four point three kind a little.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
You know, Okay, that's decent size of it. It always
depends if you're right near the epicenter, because you feel
it like so much obviously so much more at four
point three. Often the distance probably not that big a deal,
but four point three when it's right underneath you, yeah,
that's a problem.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
And it was near Memorial Stadium with a cawba Oh yeah, yeah,
very cool. Oh no, I definitely felt it and then
we had an aftershock today around five or six. So
it's been really intense. So so far, we've had a
solar eclipse, We've had the beginning of the fall equinox,
(31:48):
we had the earthquakes, and then I got another earthquake.
When I heard about Nick Bosa, or one of my
favorite forty nine ers, getting a torn ACL.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
That's right. You will be playing as many games with
the forty nine ers the rest of the year. Is
Nick Bosa, he is out.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
That is it.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
He's gone for the year. That see you later. That
is the second time that has happened to Nick Bosa. So, yeah,
he missed most Remember three or four years ago he
missed most of a season with an ACL injury.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Oh yeah, yeah, I was slated to have surgery. So
did you have surgery last time?
Speaker 1 (32:22):
They have to wait for Yeah, yeah, you got to
have surgery. They wait for the swelling to go down right,
and you're gonna have the operation there.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
He was born October twenty third, nineteen ninety seven. So
an intense scorpio like Coop and Lorena and Mars is
in scorpio which is energy assertion aggression. So you have
Mars and scorpio. It's one to every two years, and
it's like you use it or use you, So meaning
(32:49):
you know, he got tackled and pushed down to the
ground and he got the ACL injury. So it was
sort of like one earthquake after another. I mean, like,
you know, Sunday wasn't challenging enough, and you wake up
on Monday and it's like Nick Post is out for
the season with an ACL injury, and if I go, yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
No, it's not ideal. They don't have a lot of
big names. You got Warner on defense, but that's pretty
much it in terms of the big name players on
the forty nine ers defense. And so we will be
ranting about that a little bit later. So should we
be on guard here for more cosmic shenanigans here?
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Yeah, Well, you know, the eclipse is not a very
frequent occurrence, so there's a lot of endings and new
beginnings and rather dramatic endings. So it's kind of like
expect the unexpected when you have a solar eclipse. So
there's just a lot that's changing and transforming, so it's
kind of a wild card. Yeah, so yeah, good point,
(33:50):
good question. Yeah, we should be on a lookout for
even more changes and transformations and expect the unexpected. So
that was the forty nine ers, the earthquakes. It was like, wow,
it's been quite a twenty four hours, and it's like.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Your show is a touch that's right, even in this building.
Any things that have been happening in this building. So
it's all because of the it's all because of the stars, clearly. Yeah,
if they could just stop, that'd be great. Take a
little break there, take a time out. Can the stuff Andrea,
can you let the stars know to calm down a
little bit?
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Yeah, I mean we got to kind of focus on
what we can control the controllables because you know, there's
no way output through and this. Anytime we have like
a vernal equinox or like a big sanitary shift that
happens once a year, we kind of have to have
a you know, guard up that it's a time of
transformation and some unexpected changes.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
So that on top of the solar eclipse, was just
a lot in the next in the past twenty four
forty eight hours, and then the earthquake because you know,
the Earth was moving to equal day and light, you know,
the sun going into Libra. It was just a lot
of planetary activity, and it was reflected in the earth,
and it was reflected in the stars, and it was
(35:08):
just really intense. And then the Nick Bosa thing was like, oh,
why is that we always go to sports as you know,
for like entertainment and solace and escapism.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
I think the police are going by right now, Andrea.
I think they're going by outside there.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
I hear the Oh yeah, well you get used to
it in my neighbor.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
No, well wait, I thought you lived in Berkeley. Wait
a minute, there, I thought Berkley was nice. I didn't
know anyway.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
I lived near the campus.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Oh the college kids get in trouble, right, got you?
Got you? Yeah? All right, Well, thank you, Andrew, and
I want you to know who's your bills. A big fan.
He's upset that I interrupt you, he says, I should
just let you do the whole show, and then I
should shut up and just have you talk so.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
That you're the Polish professional.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
Well, thank you, Andrea, take care. There's our friend Andrea
and virgo in service on act. You want to say
all to Andrea? She as you get a newsletter a
few times a year that comes out there, so check
that out and Fat Daddy writes this says, I think
Jed who fled when I think he needs to be
an auctioneer. That might be a good job for him.
Joe the ghost Hunter says, wow Jose in Ohio, while
(36:11):
I think this is the first time I have understood
what Jed was saying. Amazing, So you understood. I'm were
on headphones and I only only understood the beginning to fast. Yeah,
well I understood the beginning part of it, but not
the rest. Anyway, it is the Ben Mather Show. As

mallarly third degree. Here is the Insta trivia. Dodger reliever

years to nineteen twelve. This is the first time that
has happened. Thirteen times, one pitcher has won one or
one pitcher rather has had four losses in a row
for a team, most recently was Blank, but Blake Trinton
(36:54):

LA's last five games dating back to nineteen twelve. That
is the most ever. There have been thirteen times the

it quickly. Here is the Insta trivia. Dodger believer Blake
Trinen has been the losing picture at each of LA's
last five losses and then going back to nineteen twelve.
This is the first time that's ever happened. Thirteen times
(37:47):
one pitcher has ended up losing four games in a row,
most recently was blank. That is the question. What is
the answer? Oil Can boyd guests by the goat Man Rob.
Who else? Do we have? A Stubby from Scrooge? Great
name Billy Carter from King Rory, Darren Dreyford Dodger legend
from James Love Dryford, Fred Lynn from alf the Alien o'piner,
(38:10):
Dick van Dijke from Far Out Dave. Who else do
we have? Daffy not Dizzy Dean from I forty Ian?
Who else? John Coleman, who lost forty eight games in
eighteen eighty three from JT. The Wingman? All right, you
have an answer the rain now, yes, I'm going with
John Danks. Wow. No, the correct answer is Tim Belcher.
(38:31):
That was his name, Tim Belcher. A good name.
Speaker 3 (38:36):
How about that?
Speaker 1 (38:37):
To the third degree. This is one thing.
Speaker 6 (38:42):
It seems every year the Chargers are a popular sleeper
pick in the NFL, only to ultimately disappoint. Well after
the win over the Broncos, we're seeing it again, headlines
saying that this will be the year that the Chargers
justify the hype and it's because of Justin Herbert And
do you think they're finally legit contender?
Speaker 2 (38:57):
No?
Speaker 1 (38:57):
I don't trust Herbert. He's had two playoff games, did
nothing in the second half, they got killed by Jacksonville
and then this Houston game last year. I don't trust him.
I don't care how many games they win. I got
to see him perform under the pressure of the playoffs.
I don't next Baker.
Speaker 6 (39:11):
Mayfield admitted after the Bucks went over the Jets on
Sunday that he took a little extra pleasure in beating
their defensive coordinator Steve Wilkes, who Baker pointed out was
the one who cut him in Carolina. But how much
better do you think things would be going for the
Panthers right now if they had kept Baker?
Speaker 1 (39:23):
Well, they don't have a quarterback, so it couldn't be
much worse. By the way, you need some garlic, coop,
need some garlic. I just lost my voice. I'm not sick,
all right.
Speaker 6 (39:34):
Kevin O'Connell refused to say that he starting JJ McCarthy
over Carson Wentz when he's healthy.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
What do you think that's a dead giveaway. He's not
happy with JJ McCarthy. It's an easy thing to say, Yes,
JJ my starter. He didn't say it. Trouble in Minnesota.
Speaker 4 (39:47):
How did we do?
Speaker 1 (39:48):
How'd we do? Get some garlic, Get some tea and honey,
Tea and honey coop,
