Ben Malors Show.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Before we get into.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
What we'll be talking about here in our number one,
you've probably already seen it if you're cheating and looking
at the podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Don't forget though.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
The Fifth Hour Podcast is back a new weekend of
the pod. It's a spin off of this show for
the super fans, and we talked about random things.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Occasionally we'll talk about sports and whatnot.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
This week we look back at one of the great
nights on the Ben Malor Show, a little behind the
scenes on how all that went down. You'll only get
that content on the Fifth Hour Podcast, available wherever you
get your podcast, the same place you got this podcast,
because it's omnipresent.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
But here in hour number one, who gets to wear
the shame bell?

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Shame shame for the Cardinals losing at home to Seattle
as Arizona came back but did not do enough late
to win the game.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
And does Marvin.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
Harrison Juniors mind paralyzing him? Line from Kirk Kirbstreet Work
as a get out of jail free card and were
you impressed? Were you impressed with the Seahawks getting a
road win in the division? We'll discuss that as well,
and who knows what else will be coming up. It's
a square meal.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
It's our number one, a battle of the birds.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
Welcome in the beginning of another night of the Ben
Malor Show. We are in the air everywhere together as
we provide connected creativity, whatever that means.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
Coast to coast, border the moter and beyond.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
On the vast and boomingly powerful microphones of fs are

As we settle into things, and our Friday show is
still late on a Thursday night in the West, but
we head into a Friday Friday, Friday Friday.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah, oh yeah. And our lead this hour from the
Valley of the Sun. It was billed as an NFC
West Barton Berner, and it actually did turn out to
be a bit of a Barnon.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
Burner here, Sam Darnold and the Seahawks versus Kyler Murray
and the Cardinals. As Spaccoli pointed out, he said, well,
I'm glad you're doing the show, Ben, because you're gonna
watch it so we don't have to.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
And yeah, yeah, I did.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
Into the Amazon, the iconic al Michaels the great Al
Michaels still calling NFL games with Herbie college football guy
pretending to be an NFL guy, Kirk Kirk Street, the
failed Ohio State quarterback. So I don't know if you
watched this game, probably not. We were watching it, so,
as Spaccoli pointed out, you would not have to.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
And it looked like this was going to.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
Be blow out city, blow out city for the team
from the Pacific Northwest. And then it wasn't as they
screwed things up, played with their food, and it came
down to the bitter end.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Jason Myers.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Lined up for a fifty two yard field goal in
a tie game as time expired through the uprights. That
is a kicker for the Seattle football team and Sam Donald.
You know it's not a big game because Sam Darnold
had a good stat line two hundred and forty two
yards and a touchdown. Seattle gagged up a big lead,

(04:39):
then had to rally to get by the Cardinals thanks
to a special teams blunder by Arizona twenty three to twenty.
Your final and if you did watch Benny versus the Penny,
we thank you gave you the Seahawks and you might
have won a couple of bucks on that Seattle blew
a fourteen point fourth quarter lead, but still in their

(05:00):
eighth straight game over the rivals.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
There some rivalry. Eight straight wins.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
Now for the team from Seattle, the twelfth Man smiling
as they take down the Cardinals. I know somewhere our
friend Nostridinis is smiling ear to ear and JJ and
Ranton and crying Craig and all those guys. But the
better story is in the losing locker room.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
And so that is where we go. And let us discuss.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
The question who gets to wear the shame bell for
the Cardinals losing at home, losing in home.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
In a game they fought back in but still lost.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
I've got halitosis, Wi fi and mojo potatoes. All right,
we'll combine all of those things together, and we are
going to deep fry some bird brains, is what we're
going to do. Now, before we get into this, let's
hear from some of the key participants. Let's start with
the coach Gannon, not Rich Gannon, Jonathan Gannon. They're the

(05:59):
coach of the car Cardinals there who points out the
Cardinals have not gotten it done completely, not yet anyway,
we just.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
Haven't put it together like I think we're capable of
putting it together. Oh, those are just words.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
It's my job to make sure that we put it together.
So that's what'll be working on. You should become a
talk show host. All I have is words, all right.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
So to answer the question, who gets to wear the
shame bell for the Cardinals losing at home, it's a
it's not a large shame bell, it's a kid size
shame bell. It goes to Kyler Murray. So come on down, Kyler.
Congratulations front of the line. Shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame. Yes,
ring the damn bell, Kyler. You know what you looked

(06:43):
like the first three cours of this game. A tiny dancer.
He looked like a tiny dancer out there for three
quarters days. Didn't confuse for seventy five percent of the game.
Just your run of the mill forty six million dollars
a year quarterback now alligator arms.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
Murray was on a nice.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
Tropical vacation swimming in a cauldron of suck soup in
this game, Like the guy was wearing floaties out there,
averaging for the first three quarters of this game. He
was averaging four yards per pass attempt going to the
fourth quarter. Four yards that is a handoff in disguise.

(07:18):
Had no touchdowns, not one, but two interceptions, one of
them given right back by the Seattle defense that picked
off Kyler Murray then fumbled it and gave it right back.
But a passer rating of forty one point seven for
alligator arms Murray. That is going to the fourth quarter.
That is not quarterbacking. That is a burger. A turn
burger is what that is. And let's not forget not one,

(07:41):
not two, not three, not four, five six sacks for
Kyler Murray.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
Six.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
Now, good football people will tell you that a sack
is half a turnover. So we've done the math. Now,
if you look at the points given up based on turnovers,
a turnovers four points, sack is two points. So that
works out to twenty points using malormath that Kyler Murray
cost the Cardinals by playing hot potato with his own

(08:10):
body and the duke and all that that is halatosis
football is what that is halatosis football. Bad breath clears
out the stadium faster than a sewage leak at a
Washington Commander's game. Now you know he did make a
few plays late. He didn't make a few plays late.
Kyler Murray, you don't get credit for doing a little
bit at the very end.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
You don't.

Speaker 4 (08:31):
Right.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
It's like if I do a talk show, if the
show I didn't prepare, you know, some guys do this.
But if I showed up and did nothing for the
first three hours of the show, and then I went
into the boss and said, well, you know, the first
three hours were really bad, but that last hour, man,
I just killed it.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
I said yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
But the boss said, well, no one was listening because
you were so bad. I said, I know, but I
was really good the last hour. Okay, you were good
the last hour. Congratulations. So it doesn't work that way.
It doesn't work that way. And the first three quarters count.
And so yeah, the shame bell belongs to Kyler Murray.
Put it around your neck, and that's not all bad news.
It's not all bad news because Kyler can wear that

(09:07):
when he is on the stream there fortnite. He's probably
doing that right now and he'll have some bling bling there.
So Kyler continues to be a massive headache for the
Arizona football team.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
Here is Kyler Murray in his own words. Let's hear
from the little fella.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
Here's Alligator Arms Murray talking about why the Cardinals offense stinks.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
Wasn't it wasn't clicking, was not clicking, you know, pretty
pretty much getting physically dominated whole first half.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
And you know it's.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
Frustrating because you watch the defense go out there and
get stuff out, the stuff of the stop and offensively
just like we just couldn't get it going, you know,
couldn't get going. Credit to their defense. But we gotta
make We just gotta make more plays. We gotta we
gotta gotta show up, be ready to go, you know
what I mean. It's it's uh like we're just oding,
you know what I mean. And it's it's it's taking
too long.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
You know.

Speaker 3 (09:53):
Obviously there's the resilience of the team is you love
to see it and you feel like, give yourself a
chance to win the game at the end.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
Um what he just ended on? Okay um um. I mean,
I don't know who edited.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
That, but they should win sucking pind Of Award anyway.
All right, So here's here's the deal on that.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
That's if I'm the headline rider at the tabloid, if
I'm the tabloid. They don't have tabloids in Arizona. If
I was riding the heloid headline, Kyler Murray calls out coach,
team not prepared for games.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
Boom done, boom done. That's the headline right there. That
is that is it?

Speaker 2 (10:32):
All right?

Speaker 1 (10:34):
Moving on, So staying with the losers. Staying with the losers.
Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Junior, who is.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
Built like a Donnis, built like this guy. What a stud.
It doesn't play like it.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
He was serenaded by the fans there in Arizona with
boo flat for the first half of the game, and
he deserved to have one catch on five targets for
eight yards eight yards. This was the guy at the draft.
Y'all told me he was going to redefine the wide
receiver position. And then in the second half Marvin Harrison

(11:09):
Junior took some smelling salts.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
And arrived better late than never, I guess.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
He had five catches on five targets in the second
half for fifty eight yards and a touchdown. Now, one
of the interesting things that the broadcast. Now, I watched
it because there's really nothing else going on, and I'd
plausibly get paid to watch this crap.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
So I did.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
And Kerbstreet was on the TV with Al Michaels and
he had some spicy comments on the Thursday night broadcast.
He said, Marvin Harrison Junior, this is in the first
half when Harrison was stinking at a time he can't stink.
And Herbstreet had this rant where he said that Harrison
is uberly talented, just not playing with confidence. It's like

(11:53):
his mind is paralyzing his ability to be the receiver.
He can't be close. Quote all right, question, let's jump
off on that question. Does Marvin Harrison Junior's mind paralyzing
him work for you as a get out of jail
free card for Marvin Harrison? So to me, that's not analysis,

(12:15):
that is an excuse. And Herbstreet basically gave him the
get out of jail free card right now.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
That's when he gave it. Right, If your brain.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
Is freezing you up, your a lemon and you gotta
play this on, you won't get a lement.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
You got a lemon.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
You are the Wi Fi router or router that only
works if you unplug it for thirty seconds and then
reset it. What good is that if you're mentally weak.
That is part of sports. It's not the most important thing,
and physically is more important than mentally, but it's a
big part of it. And that's in the scouting report.
And right now, Marvin Harrison Junior is the uber. Each

(12:56):
jumbo bag of fries that you ordered on that app
and you're all excited about it. Looks really good, You're hungry,
you want to jumbo fries. Got a little seasoning on
the fries, some ketchup with it. But by the time
it shows up, the fries are cold and soggy, because.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
You know that's not good.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
You know what that and the NFL generally don't forgive
plays off, and I get that. This is a fellow
Ohio State buck guy, Herbstreet's essentially giving giving Marvin Harrison
Junior a permission slip. And to that, I say, Phoeie,
the late great Bill Russell, the winningest athlete in North
American sport, the old Celtic Bill Russell, who said concentration

(13:35):
and mental toughness are the margins of victory. All right,
So concentration and mental toughness. If Marvin Harrison Junior doesn't
have that, then he's on the sauce aisle, and he's
serving up weak sauce.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
Weak sauce in the NFL is really tasty for other teams.
Cornerbacks smell that and it's it's like blood in the
water for a piranha, and they'll get you know, get
in your head in the you and you'll disappear. And
now Harrison did play better in the second half, but
this is a guy, Marvin Harrison Jr.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
That looks looks the part, I mean, it sounds the part.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
But so far most of his career has been stuck
in thick Louisiana mud, that thick mud. Needless to say,
you have to be both mentally and physically.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
Ready, ready to go there. And if you if your.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
Mind is messing up and paralyzing you, then the NFL will.

Speaker 2 (14:29):
Will bury you. Let's go back to Kyler Murray one
more time.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
Here's Kyler Kyler on the lack of communication with his
wide receiver.

Speaker 3 (14:39):
Take on, is he druge ball like there's nothing you know.
I've seen mar of case football one hundred times.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
I'm not.

Speaker 3 (14:45):
I'm not again. I told you all throughout the week
I wasn't.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
Worried about it.

Speaker 3 (14:49):
Continue to continue to go to him obviously, and he
came up clutching the stretch. You know, that's part of football.

Speaker 2 (14:54):
That's part of football.

Speaker 3 (14:55):
I got. I got themost confidence of Marv. I will
continue to have the confidence of more of We just
gotta go back, draw more and be better.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
Yes, the answer to every question. We have to be better,
all right. Last word to the winner side, which is
not as good a story.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
You know, when you do talk radio, the loser story
is much better than the winter story. But we'll go
to the winner side. We'll pacify our friends in Seattle,
the Pacific Northwest. So the question, were you impressed with
the Seahawks getting a divisional road win?

Speaker 2 (15:23):
Were you impressed? All right?

Speaker 1 (15:26):
So I'm gonna play Wheel of Fortune. I'm gonna have
two letters. Can I get an N? And can I
get another?

Speaker 2 (15:31):
I want an end? And and oh all right, and
oh okay there you go.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
Uh now, uh Impressed is not a word I have
in my lexicon for this particular performance.

Speaker 2 (15:42):
Impress implies style points. You get none, right, you get none,
you get a passing grade. Congratulations. You know, listen, tough love,
I'll give you a passing grade. You hand it in
on time. You handed it in on time. You just
got it in before the end of the game. Now,
maybe ribbles something down, you write something down about how

(16:02):
you love Mojo potatoes at Shakey's Pizza Parlor, and you
know there's okay, I'll give you a CEA plus. That's it.

Speaker 1 (16:09):
This was a shaky ending to the game. Seattle was favorite.
As we said on the road, they blew a two
touchdown lead and then got bailed out by this fugazy
kickoff rule that gift wrapped the game winning field goal.
And I know it's been around for a couple of years,
they tweaked it this year and I still don't really

(16:29):
understand what's going on. Like the ball had to hit
past the twenty it hit at the twenty one yard line,
and because it hit it the twenty one yard line,
the ball came out to the forty yard line.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
So if it comes out to the forty yard line, you're.

Speaker 1 (16:41):
Essentially one pass play away from being in field goal range,
which is exactly what happened here. Now, Sam Darnold, if
you listen to and watched Benny Versus the Penny on.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
YouTube this week, we put it out.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
These both these quarterbacks Kyler alligator Arms Murray and Sam Darnold,
who disappears and sees go.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
Not not a big supporter.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
Of either one of these guys. And Sam Donald's stats
look fine, which tells you, as we said, it's not
a big game, because in big games, he gets tight,
took to syndrome, he didn't have any picks, he had
one fumble but got the ball back. Watching watching Sam
Donald and Kyler Murray is really testing the boundaries for me.
But but Donald in particular, it's like a ferris wheel quarterback.

Speaker 2 (17:26):
Up down, up, down right. You get a nice view
for a second, you're like, oh, this is kind of cool.
Look at that. I can see the skyline over there.
It's kind of neat. Man, that's that's great. And then
the next second you're you're looking at the parking lot.
You're like, oh, that sucks.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
And that's that's what the Sam Donald experience is like.
And the biggest concern forget, forget even Sam Donald here,
because Seattle, if they're gonna do anything this year, it's
not because of Sam Donald. You forget the whole fugazy kickoff.
Think it's the defense, dummy, it's the defense. Mike McDonald's
claim to fame, he's he's supposedly defensive guy, right, That's

(18:00):
how we got to job. And that is going to
be the salt and pepper of the Seattle Seahawks. And
that defense was so good for seventy five percent of
the game, but not one hundred percent.

Speaker 2 (18:10):
Are they not in shape? Are?

Speaker 1 (18:13):
Is there conditioning issues for the Seattle Seahawks here that
need to be addressed to you because they allowed the
low league Cardinals to slice and dice them in the
fourth quarter. Arizona got forty five percent of their total
yards in the fourth quarter, seventy percent of their points
came in the final quarter, and the last three possessions
were a total debacle for the Seattle defense. That is collapse.

(18:36):
It's a collapse. The Seahawks ran out of gas defensively.
They looked real rough around the edges. And that was
supposed to be this intimidating Seattle defense and it was
for the first three quarters, and instead they're out there
letting the Cardinals offense with alligator arms marched down the
field three straight times. So again, just to put a

(18:56):
ball on this, I am not impressed. It's a passing
great that's it. I don't give you a sticker. You're
not getting a sticker, no star, no gold star next
to your name, no puffy sticker, no gold star. And
you're not invited to a pizza party. But you did
get a win. Congratulations.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
There you go. All right, It is the Ben Mahlor Show.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
If you would like to touch up any of those points,
feel free right now if you want to talk about
something totally different because you're bored out of your mind,
but the Cardinals and Seahawks, that is fair game as well.

To, and that's why we have a brand new podcast
called over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun

Well, you know what it's called over promise. You should

Tech Queen and don't talk to me and Cooper Loop
all Bronco fan, a Bronco fan.

Speaker 2 (22:33):
And now back to the talk well, it is back
to the talk.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
And don't forget that if you we did have the
game right and rarely get these pics right on Benny
versus depending.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
We did. We did have the Seahawks and laid the
small number on that.

Speaker 1 (22:49):
And might I add with our partners at DraftKings they
request that I do. They asked me to pick a
anytime touchdown for the game.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
And I believe we are. What are we in Week four?

Speaker 7 (23:07):
Now?

Speaker 1 (23:07):
I think we're three out of four on anytime touchdowns?
Am I correct on that? I think I think we're
three out of four? I'd have to go back and
check my notes. We did tell you about Marvin Harrison
on the DraftKings spot yesterday, so we had that and yeah,
not bad on that, not bad on those anytime touchdowns.

Speaker 2 (23:28):
So it's gotta use your brain. Use your brain. You
gotta use your brain. That's the key. I'm told that's
the key. Anyway, we have a lot of people that
are engaged in the show, that like to be part
of the show, and if their names aren't mentioned on
the show, they send me nasty emails. I don't understand.
I mean, you read everything. Firm Dog and Alpson in

but you don't do anything with I don't understand anyway.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
Late Night Drug tester rights Since says we have to
get used to Kyler's starting games late.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
You can't play Call of Dude right away. You have
to have the loading screen to run first. I gotta
tell you it's.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
Not as much fun to goof on Kyler Murray because
for a while I was the only one right. There
were people, Oh, ye're j that's why you're doing overnights.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
You don't know ball. You don't know ball.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
Now it's hard to find people that think Kyler Murray
is any good.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
Right, everyone's kind of an agreement. He blows so, but
it is cool that that is hot. Take verification. That
is hot. Take verification.

Speaker 1 (24:34):
Tacoma Drew writes and says, Ben lifetime Seahawks fan right
here now, Drew, how far back do you go? Do
you go back to the Dave Craig days back, you know,
years ago? And Brian Bosworth, I don't know how old
you are.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
Maybe not, maybe you're more of a hassleback guy.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
But anyway, Tacoma Drew says, been lifetime Seahawks fan here
and I'm waiting for Sam Donald to see the ghost only.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
A matter of time.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
Oh yeah, and I like the intro, pure nostalgia. Yes, people,
most people seem to enjoy enjoy that absolutely. JJ from
Renton says that was a pathetic second half from the
Seahawks defense. They took their foot off and sorry asque

(25:18):
offense from the Cardinals.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
He says, that's JJ. See. I like JJ.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
Me and JJ are similar fans. I like that, like
JJ is not like Andrew and Bakersfield. If Andrew and
Bakersfield was watching that game, I was just.

Speaker 2 (25:35):
Blind listening to the game.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
He said, well, Ben, you got you gotta give the
Seahawks credit.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
They won the game. Well yeah, they played like krep.
I don't care. I'm a fan boy. You gotta give
him credit. Oh yeah no.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
Stredinis checks in. You know this is gonna be some
Seahawk propaganda. I haven't even read it yet. He says, Ben,
you are wrong. Sam Darnold and the good guys in
Seattle deserve a huge gold star sticker shows them on
Benny versus the Penny. Just to offer that sticker, I
did victim and as I said on the YouTube show

(26:09):
Benny versus the Penny, I pointed out, like This is
a very tough game for me to handicap. The reason
I picked Seattle was because of their defense, and that
almost burned me into Tuckers because I was like, the
Seattle they scored a touchdown, there was a penalty, they
went up briefly. They took the touchdown off the board,
but they would have been up by seventeen. They took
that off the board, and I was like, oh, craph Man.

(26:33):
Femi rights and says Ben, who do you think will
win more games this year? The Vikings, Sam Darnold or
Daniel Jones.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
See, that's a good question. I like that, that's a
solid question.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
The Seahawks have a good defense, so that helps Darnald
out until it gets late in the year and then
there's big pressure games and the weather won't be great
in Seattle for some games and that'll be a problem.
I'm leaning towards Daniel Jones. Why Division Division, Like I'm

(27:07):
gonna see Daniel Jones in person this week, and I'll
be out.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
The Colts are here in LA to play the Rams,
so I will.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
Be in attendance of that game to see Danny Dimes,
a man who I've bashed for years. Behind these microphones,
so I'll see him in person. See what's going on
with that Colts. Haven't you know the Bronco game they
should have could have lost. They won, and then they
played a couple of tomato cans. They played the tomato
can from Miami the Dolphins, and they played the tomato
can from.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
Nashville the Titans. So not impressive, but you just beat
bad teams. They're in a division with bad, bad, bad bad.
They get to play the Titans again. They've got Jacksonville's
not really that good. They play the Texans, who stink
this year, so there's some opportunity there. So to answer
your question for him, I'll go. I'll go to the Colts.

(27:54):
I'll go because of the division. Because of the division,
I'll go to the Colts. And that's my opinion today.
I have this to do today, that's it.

Speaker 1 (28:02):
Super Market Steve writes and says, if you're so good
at picking players to get touchdowns, why will you not
participate in your own fantasy league?

Speaker 2 (28:11):
He said, in any but Supermarket Seve is such a
such a dope. He says, I gave you money to play,
and yet I haven't seen your name on the list yet.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
Well, I don't need your money. Number one, very very
nice for you to offer me money, Steve, I don't
need that. Number Two I am. I am running on
borrowed time at this point, Steve. I have literally no
more time. I've got the radio show five nights a week.
I'm not just not a SOB story. It's just I
have no free time. So any second that I spend

(28:39):
fussing around with your fantasy league is a second that
I could be doing something more valuable. So that's that's
why I'm not messing.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
Around with it. I'm not.

Speaker 1 (28:50):
And the anytime touchdown thing that's part of the show,
that is part of the show, and it's a sponsored
segment with DraftKings, and so that's.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
Why that's why we do it.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
Yeah, anyway, we'll press on here eight seven, seven ninety
nine on Fox. The patternicity problem, The Little Fella Alligator
arms Murray Kyler Murray.

Speaker 2 (29:11):
If you look at his.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
Interceptions since twenty twenty four. Since twenty twenty four, six
of the fourteen Kyler Murray interceptions have come on targets
of Marvin Harrison Junior. Six of the fourteen have come
when targeting Marvin Harrison Jr. So I asked the question,
is that because Marvin Harrison Junior is not good? Is

(29:38):
that because Kyler Murray is not good? Or is that
because both of them are not good? But that is
a mind boggling Almost forty three percent of Alligator Arms
Murray's interceptions have been directed towards Marvin Harrison Junior.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
Let's go to the phones and who's up first? Here
in the leadoff spot, Let's say to.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
The one and only Danny de Vito in Boston, America's
trash man.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
Hell Danny DeVito, Welcome.

Speaker 7 (30:09):
And miss Malla. What's going on? How you doing?

Speaker 2 (30:13):
It's a talk show, I'm talking And if I was
any better, I'd be a Patriot, but not a New
England Patriot because they're no good exactly.

Speaker 7 (30:21):
Yeah. Well, it's a good night over here in Boston.
As uh, I took the Seahawks, so I want some
money on that, and uh, I gotta think I know
you were kind of trashing Sam van Donald there. I
think the Vikings made a mistake did They probably should
have signed him Ben He is playing better.

Speaker 2 (30:39):
Blimey.

Speaker 7 (30:40):
I was in the trash this guy and throwing his
whole career, but he showed me something last year with
the Vikings, and he showed me something this year too.
I thought he'd be trash open Seattle, and he's playing well,
and like he said, they have a good defense, and
I think they are going to the playoffs and they
could make some noise.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
Comment on that, Uh, yeah.

Speaker 1 (31:02):
I can comment on that. Did you not watch the
entire season last year? Did you not watch him lay
an egg against the Lions the last week of the year,
and then yes, and then he against the he whiffed
against the Rams in the playoff game. So like it's
it's one of these my problem with I don't trust him.
I don't know how you trust him, Like I know
there are there are exceptions, as you know, Danny, where

(31:25):
every once in a while, like Joe Flacco's not that good,
but for one month with the Ravens, he went from
an abomination to being the greatest playoff quarterback I've ever seen.
And we know the story with Nick Foles. But those
are exceptions to the rules. Like if you have, like
the Seahawks could win thirteen games this year, right and
then late in the year when the playoffs come around,
he's gonna throttle down.

Speaker 7 (31:47):
Yeah, yeah, he he does have to change that. But
he's shown me that he can't play in the league
up until he he has a big game though he
wasn't even playing that he was terrible.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
Yeah, no, no, no, listen, I will I will concede.
I will concede that the guy that played for the Jets,
who was completely baffled by everything, that he's not that anymore.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
He's not that guy. So that's good. So he's improved. Congratulations,
you're no longer atrocious.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
Okay, good job by you. You're no longer atrocious.

Speaker 7 (32:23):
And I gotta say the Pittsburgh sales, I know they
won this Pat Sunday, but they're gonna be by the
end of the year. Then they're gonna have to clean
out that whole team, the coach, the quarterback, the defense
is so old now old and slow. I just want
to say that the Pits first sales are not going
nowhere this year. I think he had a segment about
that a couple of days ago on Monday or whatever.

Speaker 2 (32:45):
But yeah, yeah, we talked about that. Well, Bradshaws.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
I'm gonna push back on that to a degree because
I don't think they're going to completely fall off the table.
They're too and one right now, they haven't played well,
they're two and one and they still they got two
more games. I haven't played the Browns yet, so there's
two terrible a terrible appointment.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
The Bengals don't.

Speaker 7 (33:07):
Have Joe brow brown package.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
Right, Okay? Well yeah, and uh you know, once once
in a while you get a date with a hot girl.

Speaker 1 (33:18):
It doesn't mean you're you're attractive, you know, you know
what I mean. But so, uh no, I I just
they play. They played the Browns twice. They got the
Bengal that's four wins. That should be four wins or
three and one. They got the Colts, that's another win.
They play the Dolphins. I mean, there's enough there where
they're gonna end up where they usually are by the
end of the other Steelers will be in the wild
card race. They'll be in that eight nine ten win

(33:39):
area at the end of the year. And so I
I don't not that they're a real contender. I they're
a faux contender. I agree with you.

Speaker 2 (33:48):
They're not going anywhere, but they'll be in the wildcard
race in the AFC. So anyway, thank you Danny, the
Great Danny DeVito. There. Yeah, I can tell my friends
I have a hero. Danny DeVito calls the show how amazing?
All right, it is the Ben Mahler Show. We'll take

(34:09):
your calls.

Speaker 1 (34:10):
Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox is the number
time now for the who am I?

Speaker 2 (34:15):
Game? This is where I pretend to be somebody else?
As we call it the who am I? Game? Since
the start of the twenty twenty four regular season, Patrick
Mahomes and me are tied for the most game winning drives?
Who in this Big bad NFL?

Speaker 1 (34:31):
Again, Since the start of last season, Patrick Mahomes that's
a quarterback for the Chiefs, and me are tied for
the most game winning drives in the.

Speaker 2 (34:40):

of the show. It's a daily experience here the ti
Iraq play of the night. Let's go to the Valley
of the sun No, no, not for football, for baseball.
The Diamondbacks and Dodgers at LA trying to wrap up

the National League West as they head into the final
weekend of the year. And it's the play of the day.

Freddie swings hits a drive tap Wright center, heading back
to the wall. It is off the top of the
wall and gone.

and the Dodgers leading eight to nothing to one pitch,
swung it on the ground battle third Rojas.

Speaker 2 (36:48):
Packcans throws to first. He got it.

Speaker 8 (36:50):
Divisional dominance for the Dodgers. The twenty twenty five Dodgers
are the National League's Western Division champions for the twelfth
time in thirteen years. The Dodgers can raise a banner
and they've now won the division title four straight seasons.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
The voice of Tim Nevertt on AM five to.

Speaker 1 (37:11):
Seventy, the Dodgers radio station there in LA and the
home of the Ben Malors, shows the Dodgers have done
it again. Despite being tremendous underachievers this season, they still
win the Nation League. Was how embarrassing for the Giants
and the Rockies and the Diamondbacks and the Padres, But
the Dodgers do it, and that is the Freddie Freeman
home run and the clinching of the division, the ti
Iraq play of the day. For over forty years, ty

(37:33):
iraq has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive, ship fast and freedback by
free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile

winning drives in the NFL.
