Speaker 1 (00:00):
Putting the dirty in dirty birds. It's our numb bird two,
our number two Sunday night football from northern California. And
where does that loss for the road team? The Falcons
lost to the Niners. Backups leave Raheem Morris and the
(00:20):
Atlanta football team. We'll talk about that also, how lop
sided was the head to head matchup between Falcon running
back by John Robinson and forty nine Ers star Christian McCaffrey.
And away from that game, the Washington football team got
smashed by the Cowboys and their quarterback was hurt. How
do you digest Jaden Daniel's mama lecturing Commanders fans about
(00:44):
manifesting RG three on her son. She's very upset about that.
We'll go there as well. All of it's coming your
way right now here. It is our number two, putting
the dirty in dirty birds. Welcome in the beginning of
another hour of the Ben Maler Show. We are in
(01:05):
the air awhere, comrades as we are. You're all night
psychologists co stuck coast, Sport of the Border and beyond
on the vast and nurshingly powerful microphones of fs are
ammnating live from the fund the Hedge Fund of sports
(01:29):
takes from the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios, as
approved by Perito and mad Jack. They both give the
old thumbs up on that this portion of the Ben
Maler Show on Fox made possible in part by our
friends at ti Iraq. For over forty years, ty Iraq
has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive ship fast and free and
(01:51):
back by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options
like mobile tire installation, which makes mister nice Guy very happy.
Ti iraq dot com the way tire buying should be.
The show also sponsored in part by DraftKings Sportsbook, an
official sports betting partner of the NFL and NBA. Yeah,
(02:11):
the NBA season is about to begin here right now.
Use the promo code mallord m a l l e
R to claim you're a special offer at DraftKings. Again,
that's promo code mallord m a l l e R
at DraftKings. The Crown is yours. Help us out a
little bit, do us a solid. If you are on DraftKings,
type that code in so our lead. This hour is
from Santa Clara, some thirty six miles south of San Francisco,
(02:38):
that is where the forty nine ers play their games.
And it was prime time, well prime time NFL football.
You had Michael Pennix Junior and the Atlanta Falcons looking
to keep up the good vibe Ridtion. The Falcons have arrived.
They beat the buffalout Bills. They've arrived. You all told
me that they've arrived. Okay, So taking on love Mac
(02:59):
Jones and the forty nine ers and a bunch of
backups playing for the Niners, you had Mike Tarrico and
Chris Collinsworth bloviating from the press box about this game.
So I don't know you were watching it or not.
Perhaps not a low scoring, boring, low scoring game. You
had Christian McCaffrey rumblin and stumbling one hundred and twenty
(03:21):
nine yards on the ground, two touchdowns, and when you
combine the yards he got receiving, he went over two
hundred yards, his fourth two hundred yard plus game from
scrimmage in the last six years. And the shorthanded the
left for dead forty nine Ers deliver on the ground,
Their defense made some plays and down gows Atlanta, down
(03:46):
goals Atlanta twenty to ten. The final on the Sunday
night game. The Niners win for the fourth time in
five starts this season with backup Mac Jones. That's right,
they've won four or five. Now Mac Jones did not play.
We're not going to get another Mallard monologue about how
Mac Jones has suddenly found himself with the Niners. It
was a stinking type performance there for Jones in place
(04:09):
of brock Purty. But it didn't matter in the end
because the Niners win the game anyway, all right, So
that is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss
the question the better story in the losing locker room.
So with that as the backdrop, where does this loss?
Where does this loss to the Niners leave forty nine
ers or leaves the Falcons coach? The Falcons coach for
(04:30):
him Moore? So where you lose to the Niners, you
got a bunch of backups, And the question is where
does this loss leave the Falcons with Raheem Morris as
their coach. So I've got confessional booth, elbow, and streisand
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make a couple of touchdowns something
(04:51):
the Falcons did not score they didn't score more than
one touchdown in this game, so number one, this was
billed as a stepping stone game. The Falcons, according to
the Gambi Market, were expected to win this game, prime audience,
national television, the whole thing beaten and broken, forty nine
(05:15):
er defense who let the stars out, there's no stars left.
And so clearly without Nick Bosa, who's been out for
several weeks, and now Fred Warner, oh my ankle, Fred
Warner down for the count. You got the JV squad
wearing those red Niners uniforms, and clearly they're not up
(05:35):
to the challenge to stop Atlanta. Well they tripped, is
what happened here. And not just a little stumble either
for the Atlanta Falcons. They face planted in the mud,
right in the mud there. And that was a puke
in your mouth bad type performance for the once proud
Atlanta Falcons. As life comes at you fast in the
(05:55):
big city. And so they were the toast of the
NFL last week. And this continues the trend with Raheem Morris.
This is vintage coaching from Raheem Morris. We've seen this
in the past, We've just seen it again here he
is the yo yo of coaches. Up been down, up
been down. That's a yo yo. And in this game,
the Niners bottling up for much of the game, but
(06:20):
Jean Robinson from impact game changing plays. So the game
was in the hands of Michael Pennex Junior to rise
on up, be the alpha, not the omega. I don't
needn know Omegan. I don't even know betas. I need
an alpha and command the moment right big moment. Everyone watching,
(06:40):
who's not watching the baseball game, this is your opportunity
right here. How did that go?
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Well?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
You know the result and if you watch the game,
you know that with the game on the line in
the fourth quarter, Michael Pennex Junior was neck deep and
quicksand he got into the cockpit of the vomit comet
and was terrible. How bad was it in the fourth quarter?
Four of eleven passing for forty nine yards, obviously no
(07:07):
touchdowns as the Atlanta Falcons failed to score in the
fourth quarter of a close game. It was a one
score game for much of the second half of the game,
but they end up losing this four of eleven forty
nine yards for Michael Pennex Junior, And hey, if you
want to be a big boy team. You don't need
me to tell you this. If you want to be
(07:27):
one of the top teams in the NFL, you can't
play like that. That ain't it. Okay, that ain't it?
Whatever that was? That ain't it? And Pennex looked like
yet again, he lacked a higher gear. We've seen this
a lot like. He looks like a middle of the
pack NFL quarterback. Doesn't look bad, he just doesn't look
that good, Pennix. And that if you need your quarterback
(07:48):
to step up and make plays late in the game,
he's not the guy. You're not that guy, Palt You're
not that guy. And so I have Atlanta on my
big board, not a list to Terry in England, but
my big board, Atlanta is a foe contender. They are
a faux contender. I don't think I'm seriously, I don't
uh And until proven otherwise. Raheem Morris, that's the standard
(08:12):
for the teams that he has coached, mentioned up and
down the Yo Yo And they had the razzle dazzle
at home, and one week they bring the razzle dazzle,
and then the next week it's a tire fire, and
this week it was a tire fire. Atlanta is not
a real threat in the NFC. If you played Land
in the playoffs, you're not really worried about it. As
(08:33):
long as you're showing up and you pay attention, you'll
beat them. They'll they'll blow it. They'll blow it, they'll
they'll screw it up. So you had that now. Meanwhile,
the second part of this, all the buzz, and they
made this a feature on the NBC broadcast, was about
the running backs and they were featured there. The stars,
the quarterbacks. It's like a throwback game to the old
(08:55):
days when the quarterbacks went out the big stars. It
was more about the the running backs. And so so
you had Falcons coach again, Raheem Morris, who recently called
running back Jon Robinson the best, the best player in
the NFL, without a doubt. He said, without a doubt,
the best player. Now you and I know that the
(09:16):
term best, the legal definition, is as good as all
the rest. However, there's a glitch in the human condition
where people hear that and they assume, well, that means
better than everything else. The best technical means just as
good as all the rest. And Raheem Morris didn't mean
it to say that, Butjon Robinson was as good as
every other running back. He said it in a way
to indicate that this guy is better than everyone else.
(09:39):
So the hype game is strong in Atlanta. And the
question how lopsided? Was the head to head matchup between
the Falconsjon Robinson, who according to his coach, is the
best player in the NFL without a doubt, and the
forty nine ers Christian McCaffrey. So side by side, this
(10:01):
was a crime scene. Robinson was bludgeoned in the side
by side blind soda challenge. He was that was k
oh a knockout. It was, And so Atlanta hyped this
guy up and all that, and then reality came flying
at him like a folding chair at a professional wrestling event.
(10:21):
McCaffrey delivered the elbow, but not just edny elbow. There
was the atomic elbow from the top rope for Christian McCaffrey.
And it wasn't even close. Now, you got Jon Robinson
out there, who had twenty two touches for ninety yards.
He averaged four point six yards per touch, which is fine,
it's respectable four point six yards per touch. But then
you look across the field, at Christian McCaffrey. How did
(10:44):
he do? Thirty one touches, two hundred and one yards,
had one hundred and eleven more yards averaged almost six
and a half yards per touch, scored two touchdowns. That
is a grown man performance by Christian McCaffrey and really
a masterclass in the side by side. In the side
by side there, Atlanta gave a lot of hype, a
(11:07):
lot of build up to Bejon Robinson, and he played
well in the game last week. But here's another opportunity
against a woe begone forty nine er defense, a defense
that is tattered and what did you do? And not enough?
Not enough? McCaffrey gave it the land of the blueprint
on what a big time back looks like in that environment.
(11:30):
And again no Fred Warner. They showed him on TV there.
He was dapping his buddies after the game there, and
I think I was on crutches here like a scooter thing.
See that. Nick Bosa also long gone. That's the stars,
those are the stars. That's it. There's a starless night
for the forty nine ers defense and so a bunch
of flotsam and jetsam wearing forty nine or laundry the
(11:54):
backup singers, if you will, and they sung a nice melody.
The backup singers hit a nice there and kept Pajon
Robinson in check. And so you know what, the what
the best thing, I mean, there's a lot, there's a
lot of good things about it, But the best thing
in the NFL of running back can do is not
(12:15):
getting bottled up in the fourth quarter of a prime
time game. But you're trying to claim you're the top
running back in the NFL, right, I mean, come on, McCaffrey,
didn't you take over the game? You drag your team
to victory. Neither team had a good quarterback. Max Jones
and pan X with the quarterbacks in this game, and
you know, don't get manageable numbers. You got to do
(12:38):
better than that against the defense that's running on fumes.
And so they held San Francisco. The Falcons defense actually
wasn't terrible. They held the forty nine ers to twenty points.
And you'd say, okay, you're the better team, You're expected
to win based on the gambling market and all that,
and you're Atlanta. You've got the best player in the NFL.
(12:58):
And yeah, so the Falcons wanted. They're like the kid
that wanted Captain Crunchy, like I would like Captain Crunch,
And the parents went to the store and said, well,
we can't afford Captain crunch, so we're gonna get your
Captain munch. It's like Captain crunch, but it's just a
little saugear. It doesn't hold its crunch, so you gotta
eat it right away. Yeah, that's it. So McCaffrey over
(13:19):
there playing the banjo's got the like Dick and Dayton.
He's got the banjo going there and the house is
burning down all around the Falcons. They're turned one total
the yards controlling the game. It was so bad. How
bad was it? The Falcons did not have the right
personnel on the field in the fourth quarter of that game.
(13:41):
They failed to have the right personnel on the How
does that happen? It's week seven, it's not week one
where he didn't have training camp. Another embarrassment for Raheie
Morris and his coaching staff. There on the biggest defensive
play of the game, the Atlanta Falcons were missing the
eleventh man. They decided, you know what, we're he's so good,
we'll play with ten. How did that work out, don't
(14:02):
ask all right now. Meanwhile, final point, we pivot away
from the Sunday night game and we go to Dallas,
but it's really about Washington, and we go to Jerry's
world where the Cowboys somehow kick the ass of the
command What happened to the commanders? I thought they were good?
Apparently not so. In this game, there was an injury
(14:24):
which led to a mama running to defend her child.
Jaden Daniel's mother, who happens to be his agent, is
upset if you're questioning her son and his injury pattern
developing hot dot dot dot. Jayden Daniel's mom went on
social media very upset that people are comparing her son
(14:48):
Jaden Daniels to RG three. All right, So, after Daniels
suffered a hamstring injury came out of the game against
the Cowboys on Sunday, a game that lopsided, she asked
the fans on social media. She said, stop manifesting RG three.
She said, I wish you would stop it. Words are powerful.
(15:13):
RG three's mom said, or RG three. Jane Daniel's mom said,
words are powerful and that's all that's talked about. So
she was upset that her kids being compared again, Jane
Daniels being compared to RG three. So the question how
do you digest Jadeen daniels mom lecturing the Commander fan
(15:34):
base about manifesting r G three on her son. And
so there's a little bit of like Ricky Bobby type
stuff in this, right, I got. I got the Ricky
Bobby vibe. I did. I was like that famous scene
from the movie back in the Day and you're like,
(15:54):
all right, so don't put that voodoo on me. Uh.
It was that kind of thing, and so like, what
are we doing here? Though? Seriously, I mean, I digest it.
It does not digest very well, and it's an unforced
are you you can write that? And as the TA shows,
I'm I'm very happy that she wrote what she wrote,
(16:15):
But if I was advising her like this, you write
that out. There's a famous story about Abraham Lincoln back
in the day, and he'd have the unsent letters. Well,
he'd write these really nasty lever letters like you know
MF and the people that were his enemies and politically,
and he just he would never send them, and he'd
write on them unsent, do not send. Whatever he'd write
(16:36):
on a letter and he put it in a drawer
in his desk and like that's the thing. You can
write it, but you cannot send it. Like what do
you do? It's an unforced ara, as we said, bad
job by her. No one made her do it. No
one said you gotta do this, you got no no
one begged hers. I gotta get Jaden Daniel's Mom's take
on what social media is saying about her kid. Did
(16:57):
anyone say no one said that. No one said that. Uh?
And I get Oh, she's a protective mama bear. I
understand that. But she saw people comparing her kid to
Robert Griffin, IID, and she got emotional and she clicks send.
You cannot do that. And now that now t headlines,
I'm talking about it, everyone's yapping about it. Who cares
(17:18):
about this kind of crap? And it's like, oh, it's
the Streisan effect, is what it is. It's a total
strize and effect. She just poured unleaded gasoline on what
was a small, contained wildfire, and nobody was manifesting anything
that can't happen on social media. It's all fake.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
And if the fans and media are pointing out the obvious,
the obvious Heela monster in the room. The parallels between
the Heisman winner, second overall pick goes to Washington, has
a good start to their career and then has a
nice big bowl of snap crackle pop. Okay, that's not
(18:01):
again manifesting. That's football talk. That's what it is. You
put a quarterback in the DC area and they have
an injury after year one and say, well here we go, yeah,
RG three. That is a natural comp That is a
natural comparison, and every man, woman and child knows it.
(18:22):
That's just what it And she made it worse like
she's somehow. Now the story isn't hey, Jaden Daniels tweaked
his hammy, hope he's okay, injured against the Cowboys. No, no, no, no.
The story now is Jaden Daniels mom snaps it fans online.
Angry lady, that's the headline. Boom done, that's your headline.
(18:43):
Couldn't have been the headline if she didn't click send.
It's unnecessary noise. The Commanders are a losing football team.
You knowre what your record says? You are? Sorry, Rick
and Maryland morning time when you wake up in the morning.
They have a losing record and their quarterback. Let's be honest,
not the firecracker he was last year, just kind of there,
(19:05):
fifteenth in QBR in the NFL, middle of the pack.
He is a jag, not a Jacksonville jack. Just a guy.
He's just a guy and not a human highlight film
like he had been. And he gave the game away
against the Chicago Bears with that mistake on a rainy night,
(19:25):
and here against the Cowboys, who were the worst defense
in the NFL, it wasn't even close. And the commanders
and he said, well, he got hurt. Yes, Jade Daniels
got hurt. They were losing before he got hurt. He
wasn't playing well before he left the game. It's not
like all of a sudden once he got hurt, the
Commanders blew the lead. So he's not the human highlight
reel Jaden Daniels that he had been. And the Mallard
(19:47):
PSA again, it's a malord PSA. Very simple. You can't
win the fight with social media. Cannot do it, cannot
do it. The mob loves the story like this, they're
feeding frenzy. It's like Piranha with blood in the water.
You tell social media, which is mostly fake anyway you say, listen,
(20:08):
don't say what you're saying. It's a bad take by you,
bad take by you. You're gonna you're gonna get it louder.
You're gonna get memes is what you're gonna get the
whole thing. And you just created that. That's your creation,
not my creation. That's your creation. Every hamstring tweak from
now on. Anytime Jade Daniels has a poor performance, this
(20:28):
will again be brought up. And it's like yelling at
the going to the ocean and yelling at a wave
to not crash, do not crash.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Wave.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Okay, well, good luck, good luck on that. So not
everything in I know it shocking. Not everything needs to
be on social media. I'm on there during the show

But I gotta ask you a question.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
You know Lorena, right, I've heard of her.

more about your family than I know about my family
at this point. Eat, dog, I don't even I don't gossip.
I don't. I don't guess gossip about my family. You
does your family know that you air the dirty laundry
on the radio every night, that you call up three
(25:54):
nights a week.
Speaker 8 (25:54):
And she's happy that I talk.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
On the radio because I'm nowhere else to talk to.
Speaker 6 (26:01):
Now listen, I have a lot of girlfriends.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Okay, no, you don't. You don't have any. But they're
they're they're they're imaginary. They're imaginary. They're not real. That
doesn't count.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
They imagine, well, at least j dog this time my boyfriend. Yeah,
that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
No, but I liked that he called. He was very commed.
He was talking about you, but he called you Jade dog,
not he dog. That's funny, that's cool. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Do you ever hear about the thirteen stepper?
Speaker 1 (26:30):
I can't. Your mom, I said again, you'll be.
Speaker 5 (26:33):
Here about the chance.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Stepper, seventeen stepper. You know the thirteen thirteen stepper. Oh,
so he's the twelve step when you go to reaps,
the thirteen oh, the thirteenth step.
Speaker 6 (26:47):
I feel like I've heard that the thirteen steppers when
when you committed the toll step and there's another and
you did to go under the eighth on the thirteenth.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
I love all all right, I think you what is
he talking about? I don't know. I don't know what
that was. I'm gonna move on. Let's go to Jed
who Fled. It gets even better. Hello, Jed who fled? Welcome.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
It's all about perspective, dude. I appreciate you. Let me follow.
That guy makes me look like a spelling be announcer.
I like that, all right, all mine. He's trying to
trickle Rna in the saying the cowboy satisfied her, because
that's in discribinatory against every other mascot. And you got
to say the red sands of that sort of things
that don't don't fall into that trap. I don't, and
that was not enthusiastic. That that's good. Then you finish
(27:36):
that second hour monologue with a phrase I was not
aware that I based my entire life upon. But sometimes
the best thing you can do in life is absolutely nothing.
And I had not heard anybody articulated that clearly, But
I'm going to get that stenciled on. Probably You're probably
be my first tattoo and do that.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
You know, you don't have any tattoos. No, uh no, dude,
no bad. You don't want to desecrate your body. You
descreate your body every day of the week. What are
you talking about?
Speaker 5 (28:05):
But I'm saying for the uh the internally, internally, I'm
putting on a good resitation for the world.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
You know, I mean, oh, okay, I got I got you.
Speaker 5 (28:12):
In case the tattoos that were stilling the Deep South. Man.
A lot of judgment, a lot of judgment on tattoos,
especially if it was something like like a like a
seminole or something like that, and I go to a white
person and it's not going to go well. Uh when
it comes to uh the head coaches in college football,
head coups anywhere. When I see that the euphoria jubilant
inducing the title of the article novel fires, I don't
(28:36):
want to see a.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Colorado State ramp looking at the.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
Link because that sucks. That sucks and and and I
feel like the tires that they hired him just to
put one out from under the rug. By the way, Andre,
why now.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Are you in the hall essay? Noo jed? Are you
going to stay off the drugs? Just donate money to
the boosters to get rid of Mike Norvel because I
see all these headlines on the interweb about Mike NorVa
e under siege and the boosters are trying to figure
out how to come up with the money to pay
for the rest of his contract. I want to be
a college football coach that's bad at my job and
(29:10):
get paid. How much did Billy Napier get thirty million
dollars at Florida something like that? And uh, Penn State
paid out a ton of money to there I mean
this is I want to be a coach. It's bad
at my job, and I get fired and I get
all this money. It's great, man, Let's start it.
Speaker 5 (29:26):
Let's start a business like that, like a consulting fund.
One fifty fourth to that fifty four million dollars buyo
and Mike noves home addressed. I guarantee very quickly I
will irritate him out of Tallahacke. I mean, no crime,
you need to basically assault somebody. I just I'll be
on state right away, even and they will. He'll probably
pay to move. They'll pay to move if you get
hit with reality, like you said, the South of Her
(29:47):
hit with reality like a flying chair and professional wrestling.
What are you trying to do there, because nothing more
choreographed than professional wrestling, except maybe ice skating. And yet
you're saying they're hit with reality. Break down one down
for me, that a conflation.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Of Yes, the reality. They were living in fantasy land.
Jed where they were all the Falcons have arrived, They
beat the Buffalo Bills, They Atlanta Falcons were.
Speaker 5 (30:08):
Hit with a chair. Wrestling is fantasy land, so that
they weren't really hit with a chair, did they was it.
What happened if they did suck? So you don't want
to use the pfessor rests.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
They stay off the weed.
Speaker 5 (30:19):
That is how smart you both stay off the radio.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Okay, I'll stay off the radio first of all, get
you walk the radio. There, they're gone. Let's go to
bye bye. Let's loo to eenie meenie miney moll. Let's
go to Klondike. What would you do for a Klondike call?
We'll take him right now. Hello Klondike.
Speaker 8 (30:36):

By the way, hold say hold of it. I know
you're gonna kiss my ass, and I love that. I'm
gonna let you kiss my ass. But how great is
it that the chargers? Remember how great they were the
first few weeks of the year, and then all the
charges right, and now they're tied with Kansas City. They
have the tie breaker, and as you said, they're behind
the Broncos. So all those early wins and it doesn't
matter because the charges now have fallen.
Speaker 8 (31:19):
Apart for true what charge?
Speaker 5 (31:25):
What?
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Okay? Go ahead, continue kissing my ass? Go ahead? Please?

Speaker 6 (31:49):
But back to the beginning of your show with Chris
from Des Moines, make you Chris and also a des
Moines player right here?
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Big, how many people if we did a Mallard meet
and greet in Des Moines, Klondike, what kind of crowd
would we get into Moine? Will we packed the place?
Speaker 6 (32:07):
I don't know. We wouldn't.
Speaker 5 (32:09):
We wouldn't need a back probably.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
My basement truthfully, really so we were so we should
not go to the Moines because we do not have
I feel like we have a lot of people that
interact with the show in the Moines. But yet you're
saying they wouldn't show up to a meet and greet.
Speaker 8 (32:23):
Interesting, Well, it's it's a musician town, Okay, there's a
whole lot of musicians.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Isn't that where Jimmy Hendricks is from? Des Moines?
Speaker 6 (32:32):
No, No, I don't know where Jimmy, I think Seattle.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Yes, that's correct. All right, Okay, I was doing a
des Moines choke. Oh my god, what are we doing here?
Come on, Klondyke please, I I gotta go, thank you?
All right? Please move on? Ah boy, oh boy? All right?
Is the Ben Mallor show? Oh, Larry says, who knew
(33:02):
that Larry Bird and Ben Maller were the highs and
lows of Hall of Fame coach Bill Fitch. That's true,
that's true, Larry. You heard that on the podcast over
the week. On the Friday podcast went in a great
detail about that very thing. Well, the bonus baby Mac
Jones went out there and rode the vomit comet for
the forty nine ers. He did not have a good
(33:22):
night of football for the team that says they're from
San Francisco, even though they're playing in Santa Clara. How
bad was mac Jones, you asked, Well, he played like
the Patriot or Jacksonville version of quarterback. Seventeen of twenty six,
just one hundred and fifty two yards for Mac Jones,
averaging five point eight yards per pass, no touchdowns, did
(33:45):
have a tipped interception, and with that Mac Jones has
earned a four hundred thousand dollars contract bonus four hundred
g's that Mac Jones has earned as the coach of
the forty nine ers, putting him in there because brock
Purty's hurt and says, I gotta go with this guy.
(34:06):
And Jones earned a four hundred thousand dollars contract bonus
for winning his fourth game of the season. He will
also earn one hundred thousand dollars for each win the
rest of the season. Talk about motivation. So jones base
salary was like one point one million, which I would
(34:28):
take right now. I'd be very happy about. Yeah, But
four hundred thousand this guy got because brock Purty is
dealing with a turf toe injury and is down for
the count. Right now, it is the Ben Mahlor Show.
If you'd like to crank up the social media game,
which is lacking, you can send that at Ben Mahler.

Speaker 4 (38:20):
L Raid, I am going with the terminator.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
The terminator, all right, that's incorrect? You correct answer. Daniel Jones,
third quarterback since nineteen fifty with a passer rating one
hundred or higher. Six of his first seven starts with
the team jointed Sam Donald and Ryan Tannehill. Ryan Tannehill
back in twenty nineteen with the Tennessee Titans.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
Dat smaller. How about that to the third degree, This
is one big Ben gets grailed, all right?
Speaker 7 (38:50):
Cool Ben LSU fans are losing patients with head coach
Brian Kelly following Saturday's lost to Vanderbilt. A lot of
them want him to go the way of James Franklin.
Do you think that's gonna happen?
Speaker 1 (39:01):
Well, if the can come with the money. It's always
about the money, right, It's about to buy out. And
Brian Kelly you knew right away that was not going
to work when he was doing the fake voice when
he showed up there. And I get this, since they're
not going to come up with the money, otherwise they
would have already fired Brian Kelly. So the fact that
he hasn't been fired, and we've seen that list of
(39:22):
Penn State got rid of their coach, Florida's got rid
of their coach. The fact that they have not gotten
rid of him yet. I think the buyout, what did
I read the buyout was it was like guy, it
was like fifty million dollars or something like that. So yeah,
good luck on that next.
Speaker 7 (39:36):
All right, So the San Francisco Giants are about to
do something that nobody's ever done before. They're going to
hire a new manager, Tony Vittello, who is the manager
of the Tennessee Balls college baseball team. Yeah, never been
a path like this to you know, major league manager managing.
Then you think it's a good idea.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
Well, he hasn't been hired yet, right, Like the report
was he was going to get the job, and then
there was a story last night that said he's torn
about the job. I don't think it matters because these
you my theory coopers, the front office dictates everything. Maybe
the Jazz will be different, and Buster Posey's an old
school guy, so maybe it'd be different. But otherwise he's
just a puppet. You can hire me next.
Speaker 7 (40:14):
Ben Carmelo Anthony said that the Cleveland Cavaliers they just
need to change their mentality because they've won a bunch
of games, but they keep getting knocked out the same stage.
You think that's the problem, a mental problem.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
No, Spider, Mitchell's got to be better. You listen to
Guy they've fallen apart in big games. He's the star.
It happened in Utah too. How do we do you mess?
Speaker 5 (40:31):
That's a win. I won.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
The guys hollering James, I won
Putting the dirty in dirty birds. It's our numb bird two,
our number two Sunday night football from northern California. And
where does that loss for the road team? The Falcons
lost to the Niners. Backups leave Raheem Morris and the
(00:20):
Atlanta football team. We'll talk about that also, how lop
sided was the head to head matchup between Falcon running
back by John Robinson and forty nine Ers star Christian McCaffrey.
And away from that game, the Washington football team got
smashed by the Cowboys and their quarterback was hurt. How
do you digest Jaden Daniel's mama lecturing Commanders fans about
(00:44):
manifesting RG three on her son. She's very upset about that.
We'll go there as well. All of it's coming your
way right now here. It is our number two, putting
the dirty in dirty birds. Welcome in the beginning of
another hour of the Ben Maler Show. We are in
(01:05):
the air awhere, comrades as we are. You're all night
psychologists co stuck coast, Sport of the Border and beyond
on the vast and nurshingly powerful microphones of fs are
ammnating live from the fund the Hedge Fund of sports
(01:29):
takes from the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios, as
approved by Perito and mad Jack. They both give the
old thumbs up on that this portion of the Ben

what and where they drive ship fast and free and

Ti iraq dot com the way tire buying should be.
The show also sponsored in part by DraftKings Sportsbook, an
official sports betting partner of the NFL and NBA. Yeah,
(02:11):
the NBA season is about to begin here right now.
Use the promo code mallord m a l l e
R to claim you're a special offer at DraftKings. Again,
that's promo code mallord m a l l e R
at DraftKings. The Crown is yours. Help us out a
little bit, do us a solid. If you are on DraftKings,
type that code in so our lead. This hour is
from Santa Clara, some thirty six miles south of San Francisco,
(02:38):
that is where the forty nine ers play their games.
And it was prime time, well prime time NFL football.
You had Michael Pennix Junior and the Atlanta Falcons looking
to keep up the good vibe Ridtion. The Falcons have arrived.
They beat the buffalout Bills. They've arrived. You all told
me that they've arrived. Okay, So taking on love Mac
(02:59):
Jones and the forty nine ers and a bunch of
backups playing for the Niners, you had Mike Tarrico and
Chris Collinsworth bloviating from the press box about this game.
So I don't know you were watching it or not.
Perhaps not a low scoring, boring, low scoring game. You
had Christian McCaffrey rumblin and stumbling one hundred and twenty
(03:21):
nine yards on the ground, two touchdowns, and when you
combine the yards he got receiving, he went over two
hundred yards, his fourth two hundred yard plus game from
scrimmage in the last six years. And the shorthanded the
left for dead forty nine Ers deliver on the ground,
Their defense made some plays and down gows Atlanta, down
(03:46):
goals Atlanta twenty to ten. The final on the Sunday
night game. The Niners win for the fourth time in
five starts this season with backup Mac Jones. That's right,
they've won four or five. Now Mac Jones did not play.
We're not going to get another Mallard monologue about how
Mac Jones has suddenly found himself with the Niners. It
was a stinking type performance there for Jones in place
(04:09):
of brock Purty. But it didn't matter in the end
because the Niners win the game anyway, all right, So
that is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss
the question the better story in the losing locker room.
So with that as the backdrop, where does this loss?
Where does this loss to the Niners leave forty nine
ers or leaves the Falcons coach? The Falcons coach for
(04:30):
him Moore? So where you lose to the Niners, you
got a bunch of backups, And the question is where
does this loss leave the Falcons with Raheem Morris as
their coach. So I've got confessional booth, elbow, and streisand
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make a couple of touchdowns something
(04:51):
the Falcons did not score they didn't score more than
one touchdown in this game, so number one, this was
billed as a stepping stone game. The Falcons, according to
the Gambi Market, were expected to win this game, prime audience,
national television, the whole thing beaten and broken, forty nine
(05:15):
er defense who let the stars out, there's no stars left.
And so clearly without Nick Bosa, who's been out for
several weeks, and now Fred Warner, oh my ankle, Fred
Warner down for the count. You got the JV squad
wearing those red Niners uniforms, and clearly they're not up
(05:35):
to the challenge to stop Atlanta. Well they tripped, is
what happened here. And not just a little stumble either
for the Atlanta Falcons. They face planted in the mud,
right in the mud there. And that was a puke
in your mouth bad type performance for the once proud
Atlanta Falcons. As life comes at you fast in the
(05:55):
big city. And so they were the toast of the
NFL last week. And this continues the trend with Raheem Morris.
This is vintage coaching from Raheem Morris. We've seen this
in the past, We've just seen it again here he
is the yo yo of coaches. Up been down, up
been down. That's a yo yo. And in this game,
the Niners bottling up for much of the game, but
(06:20):
Jean Robinson from impact game changing plays. So the game
was in the hands of Michael Pennex Junior to rise
on up, be the alpha, not the omega. I don't
needn know Omegan. I don't even know betas. I need
an alpha and command the moment right big moment. Everyone watching,
(06:40):
who's not watching the baseball game, this is your opportunity
right here. How did that go?
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Well?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
You know the result and if you watch the game,
you know that with the game on the line in
the fourth quarter, Michael Pennex Junior was neck deep and
quicksand he got into the cockpit of the vomit comet
and was terrible. How bad was it in the fourth quarter?
Four of eleven passing for forty nine yards, obviously no
(07:07):
touchdowns as the Atlanta Falcons failed to score in the
fourth quarter of a close game. It was a one
score game for much of the second half of the game,
but they end up losing this four of eleven forty
nine yards for Michael Pennex Junior, And hey, if you
want to be a big boy team. You don't need
me to tell you this. If you want to be
(07:27):
one of the top teams in the NFL, you can't
play like that. That ain't it. Okay, that ain't it?
Whatever that was? That ain't it? And Pennex looked like
yet again, he lacked a higher gear. We've seen this
a lot like. He looks like a middle of the
pack NFL quarterback. Doesn't look bad, he just doesn't look
that good, Pennix. And that if you need your quarterback
(07:48):
to step up and make plays late in the game,
he's not the guy. You're not that guy, Palt You're
not that guy. And so I have Atlanta on my
big board, not a list to Terry in England, but
my big board, Atlanta is a foe contender. They are
a faux contender. I don't think I'm seriously, I don't
uh And until proven otherwise. Raheem Morris, that's the standard
(08:12):
for the teams that he has coached, mentioned up and
down the Yo Yo And they had the razzle dazzle
at home, and one week they bring the razzle dazzle,
and then the next week it's a tire fire, and
this week it was a tire fire. Atlanta is not
a real threat in the NFC. If you played Land
in the playoffs, you're not really worried about it. As
(08:33):
long as you're showing up and you pay attention, you'll
beat them. They'll they'll blow it. They'll blow it, they'll
they'll screw it up. So you had that now. Meanwhile,
the second part of this, all the buzz, and they
made this a feature on the NBC broadcast, was about
the running backs and they were featured there. The stars,
the quarterbacks. It's like a throwback game to the old
(08:55):
days when the quarterbacks went out the big stars. It
was more about the the running backs. And so so
you had Falcons coach again, Raheem Morris, who recently called
running back Jon Robinson the best, the best player in
the NFL, without a doubt. He said, without a doubt,
the best player. Now you and I know that the
(09:16):
term best, the legal definition, is as good as all
the rest. However, there's a glitch in the human condition
where people hear that and they assume, well, that means
better than everything else. The best technical means just as
good as all the rest. And Raheem Morris didn't mean
it to say that, Butjon Robinson was as good as
every other running back. He said it in a way
to indicate that this guy is better than everyone else.
(09:39):
So the hype game is strong in Atlanta. And the
question how lopsided? Was the head to head matchup between
the Falconsjon Robinson, who according to his coach, is the
best player in the NFL without a doubt, and the
forty nine ers Christian McCaffrey. So side by side, this
(10:01):
was a crime scene. Robinson was bludgeoned in the side
by side blind soda challenge. He was that was k
oh a knockout. It was, And so Atlanta hyped this
guy up and all that, and then reality came flying
at him like a folding chair at a professional wrestling event.
(10:21):
McCaffrey delivered the elbow, but not just edny elbow. There
was the atomic elbow from the top rope for Christian McCaffrey.
And it wasn't even close. Now, you got Jon Robinson
out there, who had twenty two touches for ninety yards.
He averaged four point six yards per touch, which is fine,
it's respectable four point six yards per touch. But then
you look across the field, at Christian McCaffrey. How did
(10:44):
he do? Thirty one touches, two hundred and one yards,
had one hundred and eleven more yards averaged almost six
and a half yards per touch, scored two touchdowns. That
is a grown man performance by Christian McCaffrey and really
a masterclass in the side by side. In the side
by side there, Atlanta gave a lot of hype, a
(11:07):
lot of build up to Bejon Robinson, and he played
well in the game last week. But here's another opportunity
against a woe begone forty nine er defense, a defense
that is tattered and what did you do? And not enough?
Not enough? McCaffrey gave it the land of the blueprint
on what a big time back looks like in that environment.
(11:30):
And again no Fred Warner. They showed him on TV there.
He was dapping his buddies after the game there, and
I think I was on crutches here like a scooter thing.
See that. Nick Bosa also long gone. That's the stars,
those are the stars. That's it. There's a starless night
for the forty nine ers defense and so a bunch
of flotsam and jetsam wearing forty nine or laundry the
(11:54):
backup singers, if you will, and they sung a nice melody.
The backup singers hit a nice there and kept Pajon
Robinson in check. And so you know what, the what
the best thing, I mean, there's a lot, there's a
lot of good things about it, But the best thing
in the NFL of running back can do is not
(12:15):
getting bottled up in the fourth quarter of a prime
time game. But you're trying to claim you're the top
running back in the NFL, right, I mean, come on, McCaffrey,
didn't you take over the game? You drag your team
to victory. Neither team had a good quarterback. Max Jones
and pan X with the quarterbacks in this game, and
you know, don't get manageable numbers. You got to do
(12:38):
better than that against the defense that's running on fumes.
And so they held San Francisco. The Falcons defense actually
wasn't terrible. They held the forty nine ers to twenty points.
And you'd say, okay, you're the better team, You're expected
to win based on the gambling market and all that,
and you're Atlanta. You've got the best player in the NFL.
(12:58):
And yeah, so the Falcons wanted. They're like the kid
that wanted Captain Crunchy, like I would like Captain Crunch,
And the parents went to the store and said, well,
we can't afford Captain crunch, so we're gonna get your
Captain munch. It's like Captain crunch, but it's just a
little saugear. It doesn't hold its crunch, so you gotta
eat it right away. Yeah, that's it. So McCaffrey over
(13:19):
there playing the banjo's got the like Dick and Dayton.
He's got the banjo going there and the house is
burning down all around the Falcons. They're turned one total
the yards controlling the game. It was so bad. How
bad was it? The Falcons did not have the right
personnel on the field in the fourth quarter of that game.
(13:41):
They failed to have the right personnel on the How
does that happen? It's week seven, it's not week one
where he didn't have training camp. Another embarrassment for Raheie
Morris and his coaching staff. There on the biggest defensive
play of the game, the Atlanta Falcons were missing the
eleventh man. They decided, you know what, we're he's so good,
we'll play with ten. How did that work out, don't
(14:02):
ask all right now. Meanwhile, final point, we pivot away
from the Sunday night game and we go to Dallas,
but it's really about Washington, and we go to Jerry's
world where the Cowboys somehow kick the ass of the
command What happened to the commanders? I thought they were good?
Apparently not so. In this game, there was an injury
(14:24):
which led to a mama running to defend her child.
Jaden Daniel's mother, who happens to be his agent, is
upset if you're questioning her son and his injury pattern
developing hot dot dot dot. Jayden Daniel's mom went on
social media very upset that people are comparing her son
(14:48):
Jaden Daniels to RG three. All right, So, after Daniels
suffered a hamstring injury came out of the game against
the Cowboys on Sunday, a game that lopsided, she asked
the fans on social media. She said, stop manifesting RG three.
She said, I wish you would stop it. Words are powerful.
(15:13):
RG three's mom said, or RG three. Jane Daniel's mom said,
words are powerful and that's all that's talked about. So
she was upset that her kids being compared again, Jane
Daniels being compared to RG three. So the question how
do you digest Jadeen daniels mom lecturing the Commander fan
(15:34):
base about manifesting r G three on her son. And
so there's a little bit of like Ricky Bobby type
stuff in this, right, I got. I got the Ricky
Bobby vibe. I did. I was like that famous scene
from the movie back in the Day and you're like,
(15:54):
all right, so don't put that voodoo on me. Uh.
It was that kind of thing, and so like, what
are we doing here? Though? Seriously, I mean, I digest it.
It does not digest very well, and it's an unforced
are you you can write that? And as the TA shows,
I'm I'm very happy that she wrote what she wrote,
(16:15):
But if I was advising her like this, you write
that out. There's a famous story about Abraham Lincoln back
in the day, and he'd have the unsent letters. Well,
he'd write these really nasty lever letters like you know
MF and the people that were his enemies and politically,
and he just he would never send them, and he'd
write on them unsent, do not send. Whatever he'd write
(16:36):
on a letter and he put it in a drawer
in his desk and like that's the thing. You can
write it, but you cannot send it. Like what do
you do? It's an unforced ara, as we said, bad
job by her. No one made her do it. No
one said you gotta do this, you got no no
one begged hers. I gotta get Jaden Daniel's Mom's take
on what social media is saying about her kid. Did
(16:57):
anyone say no one said that. No one said that. Uh?
And I get Oh, she's a protective mama bear. I
understand that. But she saw people comparing her kid to
Robert Griffin, IID, and she got emotional and she clicks send.
You cannot do that. And now that now t headlines,
I'm talking about it, everyone's yapping about it. Who cares
(17:18):
about this kind of crap? And it's like, oh, it's
the Streisan effect, is what it is. It's a total
strize and effect. She just poured unleaded gasoline on what
was a small, contained wildfire, and nobody was manifesting anything
that can't happen on social media. It's all fake.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
And if the fans and media are pointing out the obvious,
the obvious Heela monster in the room. The parallels between
the Heisman winner, second overall pick goes to Washington, has
a good start to their career and then has a
nice big bowl of snap crackle pop. Okay, that's not
(18:01):
again manifesting. That's football talk. That's what it is. You
put a quarterback in the DC area and they have
an injury after year one and say, well here we go, yeah,
RG three. That is a natural comp That is a
natural comparison, and every man, woman and child knows it.
(18:22):
That's just what it And she made it worse like
she's somehow. Now the story isn't hey, Jaden Daniels tweaked
his hammy, hope he's okay, injured against the Cowboys. No, no, no, no.
The story now is Jaden Daniels mom snaps it fans online.
Angry lady, that's the headline. Boom done, that's your headline.
(18:43):
Couldn't have been the headline if she didn't click send.
It's unnecessary noise. The Commanders are a losing football team.
You knowre what your record says? You are? Sorry, Rick
and Maryland morning time when you wake up in the morning.
They have a losing record and their quarterback. Let's be honest,
not the firecracker he was last year, just kind of there,
(19:05):
fifteenth in QBR in the NFL, middle of the pack.
He is a jag, not a Jacksonville jack. Just a guy.
He's just a guy and not a human highlight film
like he had been. And he gave the game away
against the Chicago Bears with that mistake on a rainy night,
(19:25):
and here against the Cowboys, who were the worst defense
in the NFL, it wasn't even close. And the commanders
and he said, well, he got hurt. Yes, Jade Daniels
got hurt. They were losing before he got hurt. He
wasn't playing well before he left the game. It's not
like all of a sudden once he got hurt, the
Commanders blew the lead. So he's not the human highlight
reel Jaden Daniels that he had been. And the Mallard
(19:47):
PSA again, it's a malord PSA. Very simple. You can't
win the fight with social media. Cannot do it, cannot
do it. The mob loves the story like this, they're
feeding frenzy. It's like Piranha with blood in the water.
You tell social media, which is mostly fake anyway you say, listen,
(20:08):
don't say what you're saying. It's a bad take by you,
bad take by you. You're gonna you're gonna get it louder.
You're gonna get memes is what you're gonna get the
whole thing. And you just created that. That's your creation,
not my creation. That's your creation. Every hamstring tweak from
now on. Anytime Jade Daniels has a poor performance, this
(20:28):
will again be brought up. And it's like yelling at
the going to the ocean and yelling at a wave
to not crash, do not crash.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Wave.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Okay, well, good luck, good luck on that. So not
everything in I know it shocking. Not everything needs to
be on social media. I'm on there during the show
for real time feedback. I'm very rarely on there during
the day. I popped out a couple times this weekend
for listener engagement, but other than that not very much.

very week start by the social media gaging. I don't

(23:50):
to the phones. We'll saalo to E Dog who's in
New York. Hello, e Dog, Welcome, Hey, Ben doing tonight man, So,
E Dog, I think think you have a relative named James.
Is anyone in your world named James? Is that right? Okay?
So I got a message from this guy named James
on social media. He might be her Dennis, He says
(24:11):
for the Bennies, can a caller win both Worst Caller
and Best Caller of the Year? He said, Jay Dog
is just horrible, But I'm transfixed. Can't get enough of
Jay Dog. And he called you by the wrong name.
He called you You're e Dog, but he called you
Jade Dog. That's a mistake.
Speaker 5 (24:31):
I don't know how to explain it. Then I gotta
ask you a question, Ben, Okay, so.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
You're gonna blow over the fact this guy loves you
and wants you to he's transfixed, even though he called
you the wrong name. So I guess he doesn't like
you that much.
Speaker 6 (24:42):
Maybe that's some morning guess.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
But I gotta ask you a question.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
You know Lorena, right, I've heard of her.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
I think she works here in the building.
Speaker 5 (24:50):
Okay, I gotta ask a question.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Okay, did she like the fact that the cowboys brought
the cabandas today? Yes? I thought they did a wonderful job.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Now I want to say something.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Were you satisfied? What are you doing? What do you

Speaker 1 (25:16):
Well, it's nerdy sports guy flirting is what it is, Laurens.
That's what we what happened. I'm gonna tell Melissa. Dude,

Speaker 5 (25:24):
By the way, Okay, old, did she plays the field
like Stehen.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
Stephen?
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Yeah, if you said that, I told you the story
about Yeah, yeah, you've told me. I think I know
more about your family than I know about my family
at this point. Eat, dog, I don't even I don't gossip.
I don't. I don't guess gossip about my family. You
does your family know that you air the dirty laundry
on the radio every night, that you call up three
(25:54):
nights a week.
Speaker 8 (25:54):
And she's happy that I talk.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
On the radio because I'm nowhere else to talk to.
Speaker 6 (26:01):
Now listen, I have a lot of girlfriends.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Okay, no, you don't. You don't have any. But they're
they're they're they're imaginary. They're imaginary. They're not real. That
doesn't count.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
They imagine, well, at least j dog this time my boyfriend. Yeah,
that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
No, but I liked that he called. He was very commed.
He was talking about you, but he called you Jade dog,
not he dog. That's funny, that's cool. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Do you ever hear about the thirteen stepper?
Speaker 1 (26:30):
I can't. Your mom, I said again, you'll be.
Speaker 5 (26:33):
Here about the chance.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Stepper, seventeen stepper. You know the thirteen thirteen stepper. Oh,
so he's the twelve step when you go to reaps,
the thirteen oh, the thirteenth step.
Speaker 6 (26:47):
I feel like I've heard that the thirteen steppers when
when you committed the toll step and there's another and
you did to go under the eighth on the thirteenth.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
I love all all right, I think you what is
he talking about? I don't know. I don't know what
that was. I'm gonna move on. Let's go to Jed
who Fled. It gets even better. Hello, Jed who fled? Welcome.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
It's all about perspective, dude. I appreciate you. Let me follow.
That guy makes me look like a spelling be announcer.
I like that, all right, all mine. He's trying to
trickle Rna in the saying the cowboy satisfied her, because
that's in discribinatory against every other mascot. And you got
to say the red sands of that sort of things
that don't don't fall into that trap. I don't, and
that was not enthusiastic. That that's good. Then you finish
(27:36):
that second hour monologue with a phrase I was not
aware that I based my entire life upon. But sometimes
the best thing you can do in life is absolutely nothing.
And I had not heard anybody articulated that clearly, But
I'm going to get that stenciled on. Probably You're probably
be my first tattoo and do that.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
You know, you don't have any tattoos. No, uh no, dude,
no bad. You don't want to desecrate your body. You
descreate your body every day of the week. What are
you talking about?
Speaker 5 (28:05):
But I'm saying for the uh the internally, internally, I'm
putting on a good resitation for the world.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
You know, I mean, oh, okay, I got I got you.
Speaker 5 (28:12):
In case the tattoos that were stilling the Deep South. Man.
A lot of judgment, a lot of judgment on tattoos,
especially if it was something like like a like a
seminole or something like that, and I go to a white
person and it's not going to go well. Uh when
it comes to uh the head coaches in college football,
head coups anywhere. When I see that the euphoria jubilant
inducing the title of the article novel fires, I don't
(28:36):
want to see a.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Colorado State ramp looking at the.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
Link because that sucks. That sucks and and and I
feel like the tires that they hired him just to
put one out from under the rug. By the way, Andre,
why now.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Are you in the hall essay? Noo jed? Are you
going to stay off the drugs? Just donate money to
the boosters to get rid of Mike Norvel because I
see all these headlines on the interweb about Mike NorVa
e under siege and the boosters are trying to figure
out how to come up with the money to pay
for the rest of his contract. I want to be
a college football coach that's bad at my job and
(29:10):
get paid. How much did Billy Napier get thirty million
dollars at Florida something like that? And uh, Penn State
paid out a ton of money to there I mean
this is I want to be a coach. It's bad
at my job, and I get fired and I get
all this money. It's great, man, Let's start it.
Speaker 5 (29:26):
Let's start a business like that, like a consulting fund.
One fifty fourth to that fifty four million dollars buyo
and Mike noves home addressed. I guarantee very quickly I
will irritate him out of Tallahacke. I mean, no crime,
you need to basically assault somebody. I just I'll be
on state right away, even and they will. He'll probably
pay to move. They'll pay to move if you get
hit with reality, like you said, the South of Her
(29:47):
hit with reality like a flying chair and professional wrestling.
What are you trying to do there, because nothing more
choreographed than professional wrestling, except maybe ice skating. And yet
you're saying they're hit with reality. Break down one down
for me, that a conflation.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Of Yes, the reality. They were living in fantasy land.
Jed where they were all the Falcons have arrived, They
beat the Buffalo Bills, They Atlanta Falcons were.
Speaker 5 (30:08):
Hit with a chair. Wrestling is fantasy land, so that
they weren't really hit with a chair, did they was it.
What happened if they did suck? So you don't want
to use the pfessor rests.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
They stay off the weed.
Speaker 5 (30:19):
That is how smart you both stay off the radio.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Okay, I'll stay off the radio first of all, get
you walk the radio. There, they're gone. Let's go to
bye bye. Let's loo to eenie meenie miney moll. Let's
go to Klondike. What would you do for a Klondike call?
We'll take him right now. Hello Klondike.
Speaker 8 (30:36):
Welcome, my man, mister Meller.

Speaker 1 (30:57):
By the way, hold say hold of it. I know
you're gonna kiss my ass, and I love that. I'm
gonna let you kiss my ass. But how great is
it that the chargers? Remember how great they were the
first few weeks of the year, and then all the
charges right, and now they're tied with Kansas City. They
have the tie breaker, and as you said, they're behind
the Broncos. So all those early wins and it doesn't
matter because the charges now have fallen.
Speaker 8 (31:19):
Apart for true what charge?
Speaker 5 (31:25):
What?
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Okay? Go ahead, continue kissing my ass? Go ahead? Please?
Speaker 8 (31:28):
Okay, man, you're great, Coop's great, everybody there's great. Let's
just let the mothers. Let them do the things, you know,

To be from.
Speaker 6 (31:49):
But back to the beginning of your show with Chris
from Des Moines, make you Chris and also a des
Moines player right here?
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Big, how many people if we did a Mallard meet
and greet in Des Moines, Klondike, what kind of crowd
would we get into Moine? Will we packed the place?
Speaker 6 (32:07):
I don't know. We wouldn't.
Speaker 5 (32:09):
We wouldn't need a back probably.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
My basement truthfully, really so we were so we should
not go to the Moines because we do not have
I feel like we have a lot of people that
interact with the show in the Moines. But yet you're
saying they wouldn't show up to a meet and greet.
Speaker 8 (32:23):
Interesting, Well, it's it's a musician town, Okay, there's a
whole lot of musicians.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Isn't that where Jimmy Hendricks is from? Des Moines?
Speaker 6 (32:32):
No, No, I don't know where Jimmy, I think Seattle.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Yes, that's correct. All right, Okay, I was doing a
des Moines choke. Oh my god, what are we doing here?
Come on, Klondyke please, I I gotta go, thank you?
All right? Please move on? Ah boy, oh boy? All right?
Is the Ben Mallor show? Oh, Larry says, who knew
(33:02):
that Larry Bird and Ben Maller were the highs and
lows of Hall of Fame coach Bill Fitch. That's true,
that's true, Larry. You heard that on the podcast over
the week. On the Friday podcast went in a great
detail about that very thing. Well, the bonus baby Mac
Jones went out there and rode the vomit comet for
the forty nine ers. He did not have a good
(33:22):
night of football for the team that says they're from
San Francisco, even though they're playing in Santa Clara. How
bad was mac Jones, you asked, Well, he played like
the Patriot or Jacksonville version of quarterback. Seventeen of twenty six,
just one hundred and fifty two yards for Mac Jones,
averaging five point eight yards per pass, no touchdowns, did
(33:45):
have a tipped interception, and with that Mac Jones has
earned a four hundred thousand dollars contract bonus four hundred
g's that Mac Jones has earned as the coach of
the forty nine ers, putting him in there because brock
Purty's hurt and says, I gotta go with this guy.
(34:06):
And Jones earned a four hundred thousand dollars contract bonus
for winning his fourth game of the season. He will
also earn one hundred thousand dollars for each win the
rest of the season. Talk about motivation. So jones base
salary was like one point one million, which I would
(34:28):
take right now. I'd be very happy about. Yeah, But
four hundred thousand this guy got because brock Purty is
dealing with a turf toe injury and is down for
the count. Right now, it is the Ben Mahlor Show.
If you'd like to crank up the social media game,
which is lacking, you can send that at Ben Mahler.

Speaker 4 (38:20):
L Raid, I am going with the terminator.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
The terminator, all right, that's incorrect? You correct answer. Daniel Jones,
third quarterback since nineteen fifty with a passer rating one
hundred or higher. Six of his first seven starts with
the team jointed Sam Donald and Ryan Tannehill. Ryan Tannehill
back in twenty nineteen with the Tennessee Titans.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
Dat smaller. How about that to the third degree, This
is one big Ben gets grailed, all right?
Speaker 7 (38:50):
Cool Ben LSU fans are losing patients with head coach
Brian Kelly following Saturday's lost to Vanderbilt. A lot of
them want him to go the way of James Franklin.
Do you think that's gonna happen?
Speaker 1 (39:01):
Well, if the can come with the money. It's always
about the money, right, It's about to buy out. And
Brian Kelly you knew right away that was not going
to work when he was doing the fake voice when
he showed up there. And I get this, since they're
not going to come up with the money, otherwise they
would have already fired Brian Kelly. So the fact that
he hasn't been fired, and we've seen that list of
(39:22):
Penn State got rid of their coach, Florida's got rid
of their coach. The fact that they have not gotten
rid of him yet. I think the buyout, what did
I read the buyout was it was like guy, it
was like fifty million dollars or something like that. So yeah,
good luck on that next.
Speaker 7 (39:36):
All right, So the San Francisco Giants are about to
do something that nobody's ever done before. They're going to
hire a new manager, Tony Vittello, who is the manager
of the Tennessee Balls college baseball team. Yeah, never been
a path like this to you know, major league manager managing.
Then you think it's a good idea.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
Well, he hasn't been hired yet, right, Like the report
was he was going to get the job, and then
there was a story last night that said he's torn
about the job. I don't think it matters because these
you my theory coopers, the front office dictates everything. Maybe
the Jazz will be different, and Buster Posey's an old
school guy, so maybe it'd be different. But otherwise he's
just a puppet. You can hire me next.
Speaker 7 (40:14):
Ben Carmelo Anthony said that the Cleveland Cavaliers they just
