Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom shaka Laca, It's our numb bird two Happy, Happy
Halloween and Trick or treat? Well here at hour number two,
can you explain to Charles Barkley and Troy Aikman why
there is this obsession with the cowboys on TV? Both
of them taking some shots and it's kind of obvious
why the cowboys are there. I think these guys know it,
(00:22):
but I'll just remind them. Also, what is your takeaway
from Lions wide receiver Jamison Williams claiming despite having terrible numbers,
he's just been horrific since he signed his contract. He's
not frustrated after being an afterthought in the Detroit offense. Also,
not one, not two, but three Bengals defensive players have
requested to be released or traded. What does that tell you?
(00:44):
We'll go there as well? Right now here, it is
our number two. Hey, thanks for listening to the Ben

Speaker 1 (01:17):
Get the old cowboy boots ready. Welcome in the beginning
of another hour of the Ben Mathers Show. We are
in the air everywhere on the river of life, as
we are the Sports Night Court. We are like a courtroom.
We decide very important sports issues under the cover of darkness,
(01:39):
coast to coast, border to border and beyond, on the
vast and on fathomably powerful microphones of FSR, am monating
live from the bump things that go bumpity bump in
the night the middle of the night on Halloween, from
the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios, where legends like
(02:02):
Tree in Chicago have paid visits in the past. Trees
come in here and hung out with us back in
the day. This portion of the Ben Mallor Show and
Fox made possible in part by our friends at tire Rack.
For over forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers
like Angry Bill find the right tires for how, what
and where they drive, ship fast and free back by
(02:25):
free road hazard protection, which makes Kathy and Madison very
happy and Ruth as well. With convenient installation options which
Eileen likes in San Francisco, like mobile tire installation ti
iraq dot com the way tire buying should be. This
portion of the show also made possible in part by
Express Employment Professionals. Getting a new job can be so
(02:45):
much easier with Express Employment Professionals. With Express you'll have
a local connection to the job market, which is very important.
We're trying to get Alfinfergdog new jobs get started at
expresspros dot com to find a location near you. That's
w w W dot expresspros dot com. So we're still
(03:07):
yapping about that Thursday night NFL game as it goes
to the team from Maryland, a domination situation. We'll circle
back to that in a little bit. But our lead
this hour indirectly now indirectly, it's from Jerry's World. So
it's it's from Jerry's World now. Charles Barkley went on
a rant and by that inside the NBA, is that
(03:31):
not the greatest thing that's been on ESPN since the
before Sports Center went woke, you know, back in the
old days. It's just great, and it's it's because it's
not an ESPN show. It's they're just paying for the show.
It's not their show, They're just paying for it anyway.
Charles Barkley, I took a lighthearted jab at the obsession
of ESPN with the Dallas Cowboys. Of course, it's not
(03:55):
just ESPN. Everyone is obsessed with the Dallas Cowboys. Now, Troykman,
who knows a thing or two about the Dallas Cowboys.
I hear he played for them before I was alive.
Of course, So Aikman chimed in, wink wink, nod, nod.
He chimed in on this, and he agreed with sir Charles,
so what Yeah. So I don't know if you saw
this or not. Maybe not. Aikman gave the quote which
(04:17):
is the money quote When asked about Charles Barkley's rant,
he said, quote, he meaning Barkley. He is right about
one thing. I think there is a contractual obligation for
every network, everyone to talk about the Dallas Cowboys. Aikman said,
close quote. All right, so that is that's a pretty
(04:38):
good jumping off point. Let us discuss now the question
realizing we're not part of the mainstream. We are not
part of the mainstream. We're on overnight. There's two types
of talk radio. There's six am to six pm. That's
prime time. Everything else leftovers, not primetime. We're not part
of the mainstream, So understand that going in. But I
have dabbled a couple of times. They've allowed me to
(04:59):
cross the rub of and go to the primetime stuff,
and so I know a little bit how they make
the sausage and all that. So the question, can you
explain to Charles Barkley and Troy Aikman why there is
an obsession with the Dallas Cowboys on television? So my
observation on this, I've got Taylor Swift, Foghorn, Leghorn, and
(05:25):
hip hop, and I promise you, hand to God, never
before has there been a Mallard monologue or a radio
monologue combining Taylor Swift, Foghorn, Leghorn, and hip hop. It
has never happened before. And if it has happened, I'll
pay you ten thousand dollars if you can find me
somebody that did that. And it's not Ai and all that.
So anyway, here we go, Here we go. This is
(05:46):
very important. So we're gonna put all these things together
and we are going to make the most delicious Halloween
candy of them all. The Buttercup, the Peanut Buttercup by
far the top Halloween Kenny so number one. Okay, okay,
(06:10):
So you know how we all need oxygen. We're told
otherwise it's lights out, the game's overright, that's it, So
we need oxygen. The Cowboys are the oxygen if you're
at a network doing television, they are. If you take
(06:31):
the Dallas Cowboys away, people are going to suffocate. And
do you really want people to suffocate? I'm telling you
it's oxygen. It's the same reason. You know, I don't
we don't think that's the third round, my man. Don't
talk about politics, but it's the same things like when
when CNN or those those other numbers cover Donald Trump
for the sports world. The Cowboys are like President Trump,
(06:51):
like people either love him or they hate him, but
either way they pay attention to them.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Right.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
The Cowboys are the NFL's clickbait factory. And they don't
even have to be good because they really haven't been
all that good for a long time. They have gone
to the NFC title game in like thirty years or
something along those lines. So all the Cowboys have to
do when you scrub everything away, now, I scrub everything.
(07:17):
Why all they have to do is just exist. That's it.
That's it. They are the Walmart of football. They're open
twenty four hours and if it's a slow day, give
me a cowboy story. Everywhere you look, and it's filled,
fill to the brim, fill to the brim with people
that you either despise or secretly shop with. Right, it's broadcasting,
(07:40):
as we like to say, it's not narrow casting. And
the networks are not chasing moral victories. They're not looking
to be fair. They don't want to be fair. Right,
they're not in the fair business. They're in the advertising business.
And in the advertising business, I go back to what
I said, it's broadcasting. You need a broad audience in
(08:00):
order to get you what It's kind of simple. If
you ever took a media class in school, or if
you studied it all online, you're gonna have to go
to school. Now you can do stuff online. You're trying
to get a broad audience, right, you're chasing eyeballs. The cowboys.
They move numbers like Taylor Swift on ticket Master. Right,
imagine Ticketmasters saying we shouldn't focus too much on Taylor's swift. Well,
(08:20):
why not she sells all the super tickets Jerry. And
of course the secret is Jerry Jones. The secret is
Jerry Jones. Jerry Jones is Flave of Flave, right, He's
Don King, He's p. T. Barnum, He's Dana White, He's
Vince mcmah and all those cats rolled into one leathery
oil tycoon package. He wants you to hate him because
(08:44):
he knows that hate is good for business. It is.
And you know, those of us that have been in
radio long time, we know the legendary tales. They call
it the Stern effect. Before Stern went woke and before
back when he had his fastball, you couldn't just turn
them off. But people really really hated Stern. But they
listen longer. And Jerry knows people hate Jerry Jones. People
(09:06):
get annoyed by Jerry Jones, but they pay more attention
than those that actually like Jerry Jones, right, And it's
just because they want to have the opportunity to be
upset by something that he does. Meanwhile, like if you
were to be perfectly fair and do a network sports show,
you'd have to talk about Jacksonville, right, Jacksonville. The Jaguars
could win twelve games. Now I'm ripped from time to
(09:28):
time because I will actually mention them, and I'll mention
some of the bad teams. People, what are you doing?
What you mentioned that team? They're not for good. I
don't want to hear about that team. The Jaguars could
win twelve games, they could have the greatest offense in
the world and packed house the whole thing, and nobody
outside of Douvall County would even notice. It's the same
reason that you very rarely hear Charles Barkley talk about
(09:51):
the Charlotte Hornets or the Sacramento Kings. It's not good, no,
and Barkley will rip the fact they talk about the Lakers.
But that's the NBA's version the Cowboys, right, the Lakers,
they don't win that much, they haven't won since Kobe, right,
but yet they still get talked about a lot. The
Cowboys could go eight to nine every year or seven
to ten, and we're gonna get a week long symposium, Okay,
(10:15):
full freaking week symposium on what's wrong with blank whether
it's the coach, the quarterback, you know, Dak whoever. But
that's the point, right, They're not a football team. They're
a soap opera. That's what they are, right, It's a
daily soap opera. And the whole America's team thing has
played out. That's from the seventies or whatever. They're America's
(10:37):
ratings machine. They are, And the moment that that no
longer applies, I promise you that the rules will change
and they'll move on to something else. They will all
right now, Pace two, one of those teams that does
not have a huge national reach is in Detroit. There's
an interesting story here the Lions offensive coordinator John Morton.
(11:02):
John Morton has announced that he has failed. He has
failed one of his players. He has apparently failed someone named
Jamison Williams. He signed a relatively big contract not that
long ago, and in terms of getting the player of
the ball, hasn't done it enough. So Morton met with
(11:22):
Jamison Williams in the bye week to try to figure
out why they can't get him the ball, why he
is not involved in the offense at all. So, when
asked about the supporting actor status that the second second
guy in lastly really a third third wheel at this point.
So Lion's wide receiver Jamison Williams was asked about that
(11:44):
he said, though shockingly, he's not frustrated. He says he's not.
He said, when asked about I said, I'm not frustrated.
I'm me, I'm me. He said, okay, So that is
the money quote. That is the money quote. The question
what is your takeaway from the aforementioned Lions wide receiver
Jamison Williams not being frustrated with being an afterthought? So
(12:08):
it is a red flag, is what it is. Like
whiteouts have to go. If you're a star wide out
or a good white out, you have to go full
Johnny Cash and walk that line. You have to walk
the line. Now, you walk the line between being assertive
like the drunk guys that called Last Hour, and also disruptive,
(12:29):
much like the drunk guys that called Last Hour, knowing
that silence is not golden. Silence means starvation if you're
not demanding the ball, famous give me the damn ball.
The books have been written like that, but Williams is
not wired that way. It appears that the Lions would
like him to go full Foghorn Leghorn and go Kaka
(12:52):
doodle doo, and he's not doing that. Instead of being
an assertive rooster, he says I'm fine, I'm not frustrated. Yeah,
you're the guy was seventeen catches heading into Halloween weekend,
seventeen catches through seven games and sixty seven million guaranteed. Congratulations,
everything is great. So Jamison Williams is a glorified decoy.
(13:16):
Couldn't you find someone to pay sixty seven million dollars
to to not be a decoy, or certainly pay them
less to be a decoy? So police, police, Now he's
opening up nothing. Now, this is that I got paid.
I don't care. Vibe. We all know the vibe. I
got mine. I got mine, bro like that loser Blake Snell.
(13:38):
I did a monologue yes about how pathetic Blake snow was,
and unfortunately some other people picked up on it and
got a little bit of traction. People were shocked at
how dumb Blake snell sounds when he said that the
fact that he gave up ten runs in the World
Series was based on bad luck. Just great. Anyway, back
to the monologue. So the Lions gave this guy, Jamison Williams,
(14:01):
the bag. What's in the back? They gave him the
bag and now he's essentially a spectator with a helmet.
Terrible ROI terrible ROI, return on investment horrific on that
and the Lions have built that offense around who I'm
on Ross and Brown, Jamiir Gibbs and Sam Laporta. Not
(14:22):
this guy. Not this guy. He is an accessory. He's
an ad on. It's kind of like when you buy
a car and they try to upsell you and say, well,
do you need the net in the back of the car. Well, no,
I don't need the net in the back of Well
you kind of do, and it's it's got the logo
of the car on it, but I don't really need it.
But no, yeah you can have it. How much does
it cost? Don't what's working in You'll pay it off
If you costs seven thousand dollars for the net? Okay, fine,
(14:45):
why not. I'll take the net. But anyway, listen the
Lions and you look at it like his production and
his attitude when I see I don't. I'm not frustrated.
I'm fine, you know, I'm me. It's nothing beats a
jet to holiday, right, It's that Lion like he's on holiday.
Jamison already already got his money. You know, he's paid
(15:08):
guaranteed money. He's won the lottery and he's good. And
the Lions got played all right, final point and we
have a humdinger of a story. Humdinger of a story.
We go to northern Kentucky just to annoy our friends
in Cincinnati, and they said, well, no, Cincinnati is You've
got to cross the water there, and there's it's it's
in a it's in Ohio, and Kentucky is in a
(15:31):
different place. Okay, So when I fly into Cincinnati, what
airport do I Where do I land?
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (15:36):
That's right, Kentucky. Okay. Anyway, Bengals defensive tackle someone named
McKinley Jackson, and then West, your last name is Jackson
or you went to high school with this guy. You
have no idea who he is. But McKinley Jackson has
requested a trade. Now, normally, if a no name player
says I want a trade, we don't bring it up.
We don't know who the player is. Who cares doesn't
(15:57):
matter at us. That story would not see the lie
to day. It's it's a little different here. And here's why.
Because Jackson, this guy McKinley Jackson, who's no one other
than friends and family know who he is, Jackson is
the third number three. He's the third defensive player in
recent weeks to request a relocation number three. So the question,
(16:21):
You've got three Bengals defensive players who have asked out
who said I would like to go asta La Vista
and get the hell out of here. They want to
either be traded or released. So what does that tell you?
What does that indicate? So it is a obviously a
mass evacuation on one side of the ball. Now tells
me after a minutes long Mallard deliberation, that the three
(16:46):
Bengal defensive players who are leading such a charmed life
they would like to relocate to some other member of
the football cartel. They're enjoying some nice hip hop music
on the radio and now they want to go hip
any hop out of Cincinnati. Coming apart at the seams,
McKinley Jackson is not a star. He's not a household name.
(17:08):
Yet he's seeking greener pastures and he's been a healthy
scratch for six of the eight games the Bengals of play.
He's what we call him talk radio roster spam is
what he is. You scroll past him on the depth chart.
He's like an expired coupon, you don't pay any attention
to it. The dates expired. Nevertheless, when the guys at
(17:29):
the bottom of your roster are begging I must leave,
what does that tell you? What does that tell you?
It tells you there's an underlying condition. There is and
we're talking about a bad locker room. Whether it's the
bad locker room juju or the morale is toxic? And
(17:50):
is that because the coaches? Is that because of the
players in there that are not controlling things. You've got
players who are sprinting to the exit like there's a
fire in the film room. At the Bengals facility, almost
twelve percent of the defensive roster wants out. That is
not an accident. That is a team wide allergy of accountability.
(18:14):
And it's they've fallen to dead last and total defense.
Now it was the Ravens for a long time, Now
it's the Bengals. The Cowboys were dead last for a
brief period as well. But the Bengals are worse than
the NFL defensively. They are the chunky Soup defense. They
give up chunk plays Campbell's Chunky Soup. They give up
big chunk plays and big steaming games. And there's no
(18:37):
nutritional value, no nutritional value. And if you update now
the rhythmic chanting, who day, who day? Whoday? Think they're
gonna stay with the Bengals. And will the last person
leaving Cincinnati it's gonna be either just Josh, either just
Josh or justin in Cincinnati. Will the last person leaving
Cincinnati turn out the last the parties over? Please? Now,
(19:00):
it is the Mallard doctrine. And you know because you're
a good minion and a member of the Mallard militia.
The Mallard doctrine. You cannot coach effort, you cannot fake buying.
You can't do it, cannot do it. Once that belief
of operates, all that's left is finger pointing, pointing the finger.
That's all that's left. Point the finger and slamming the door.
(19:24):
If you don't believe me, look at the Miami Dolphins
right now. They're going through the same stuff. In the
case of Cincinnati. It's what I call bungal syndrome. Their
inner bungle is coming out right now. The disease has returned.
The disease has returned. Symptoms include bad tackling, eye rolling, sudden,
unexpected trade request all part of it, part of Bungal syndrome.
(19:46):
McKinley Jackson, who uses our jumping off point on this
mall monologue, he is not the problem. He is the
symptom of the problem. And the Bengals defense has gone
from a pack of Bengal tigers to a litter of housecats.
Nice house cats. Here, kitty kitty, here, kitty kitty, nice
(20:06):
house cat, meowing, meow, meowing for freedom. It is the
Ben Maler Show. We want to come out of any
of that. You can join us right now at eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox. That's eight seven seven

your team was booed off the field? What is your response?
You make the call? What are you gonna say? Your
(20:49):
team is so embarrassing that that fans serenaded you with
boo flat. They're so frustrated from your no show performance

It's appropriate on Halloween. No, on Halloween you should get booed.
(23:14):
I'm trying to come up with a bit. I was
playing around with it when I was coming in the studio.
I was like, I remember Art Bell. I'm sure they're
doing it over at Coast to Coast. They would do
ghost to ghost on Halloween. Ghost to ghost and all that.
So what would the sports radio equivalent be of that? Like,
if we were to not rip that off but borrow it,
(23:34):

to the phones. Let's say hello to Dominican Mike. Who's

Speaker 3 (23:46):
Good evening, Ben, Good evening, Ben. I got to have
the honor to say that I'm your first non drunk
caller of today.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Right, are we sure about that? I don't know. I
don't know positive right, I'm pretty.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Bothered with it.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
But and uh, I also heard on one of your
take you mentioned when was the last time you saw
a twenty four hour Walmart.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Before the pandemic? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Exactly exactly. They are not around anymore, you know.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Yeah? That shocks Yeah, we should, we should, we should
complain about that. Can we get back to having twenty
four hour stores? Can we get back to that?
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Absolutely? Absolutely? I want to like to. I just got
back from the gym. I'm working. I wanted to do
some shopping, but you mentioned that, and that's why I
brought my attention. I'm like, you gotta be kidding me.
There's nowhere that I can go shopping right now twenty
four hours, you know, yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Yeah, and like that's like New York. I don't know
if you've been New York recently, but you go to Manhattan,
my brother, I go visit my brother. I was like, Oh,
New York, the city that never sleeps. That's bull crap.
They sleep the store, you know, the restaurants close at
nine o'clock, and maybe you can get a turkey sandwich
at a bodega, but even those are closed now and
they're all weed shops. So I screwed shop.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, Hey Ben you you you tell
story from time to time about someone told you that
they were fans of sports or a team and they
went a whole generation without winning or something like that
and they quit. I don't know, they quit sports or
they quit the team. Not correct that it's sounds familiar.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Well. Yeah. The most famous we had back in the
early days when I was doing the show on the weekends.
We had a guy named jahadis John from Michigan. And
this is one of the craziest stories. This guy was
the biggest fan I loved the show, really got it.
One of the early guys that was a fan of
the show. And he had a pack. He determined if
(25:35):
he was a fan of the Lions, and he was
a fan. I think he liked the Cubs, if I
remember correctly, And he said if his teams didn't win
a championship by the time he turned forty, he was
never going to watch sports again. And people say that
and it's bull crap and they lie. He didn't. He's done,
he left, and I've never I've not heard from him
(25:56):
since he turned forty, and it's been years, so it's
probably probably fifty.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Because I can tell you I've been I grew up
in Miami and I've been a Dolphins fan. The last
time the Dolphins won a playoff game, I was technically
a teenager. And now I can now get my full
patient from work for retirement. That's how long it's been.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Yeah, No, it's it's crazy. And they they were so
good every year when I was a kid, the Dolphins
had great teams. They were always on TV. They had,
you know, stories of Don Shula and Dan Marino even
guys before that obviously, and it's crazy.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
Yeah, yeah, So.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
I'm kind up to that stage after last year. I
watched the Island Games, but like the Sunday games, I
put the red zone and I just stand around and
I don't watch anymore because it's not worth it. It's
not worth it, you know.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
No, No, I hear you. If the if you go
to a restaurant and you love the restaurant, they changed
the menu and the food's not that good, why are
you going to keep buying the food at the restaurant.
There's no point to it.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Right, absolutely, And Ben about the World Series, I have
unpopular tache and you're gonna hate business take but you
can mark my words. Goalst Runner is coming to the
playoffs and all the World Series within the next two years. Guarantees.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
No, no, we don't need it.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
An eighteen inning game again, you can mark my works.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Man, Now, we don't need it. We do not need
a ghost You do not want a World Series decided
by a ghost runner.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
You don't, I know, but but it's coming. It's coming.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
They don't want games ending up at uh.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
But would have what would have happened Dominican Mike, And
you know, because you're a baseball guy, is if that
game had gone one more inning that the Dodgers were
claiming they were going to go to a position player.
Uh and the Blue Jays would have had to go
to a position and you imagine a position player they
would have. I don't know how they can futs around
with the rules. You cannot have that either. You can't
have a position player pitch in a in a World
(27:53):
Series game to decide who's gonna win a game in
the World Series.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
I know.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
I always say this should be like hockey if you
have you know, hockey has like the third goalie, who
should have something like that in base on and then
have like somebody to play amateur or something like that
and be like the last sort.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Anyway, I think the I think hockey got rid of
that where they had like the high school teacher that
would be the goalie. They did for years though it
was a great story. There'd be some guy that the
guy that drove the zamboni would be the goal goaltender
for a night.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Maybe maybe they call you in, man, maybe they call
me in.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
You know, I know how to throw a mean pitch.
I've thrown out the first pitch at a couple of
minor league games over the year. So I've been on
the mound in a stadium, a professional baseball stadium. I
played in Dodgers Stadium back in the day when you know,
back years ago. So that's right, that's right, all right,
thank you Tomican, Mike. Enjoy Halloween. There's a great Dominican Mic.
Let's go to Enie Meenie miney. Most go to Mike
(28:46):
in Tucson. What's going on, Mike and Tucson. Welcome, Hello, Mike, Mike.
Speaker 6 (28:52):
I would be a Dodger fat not in La, understand,
because they couldn't hit water off the boat.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Yes, yes, yeah, But then I give you a.
Speaker 6 (29:02):
Lot of credit because you bash your team. You don't
make excuses for the weather plane. I've heard so many
excuses how that people forget he as a designated hitter.
He was walked most of the night. But a lot
of excuses from Dodgers apologies. But then you rip your seat,
(29:22):
as you said, so you're.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
The really that's right. I keep it real. I like
these other people, and I get ripped for it. People
get upset with me. They well, I thought you were
a Dodger fan. So I have to drink the blue
kool aid because I like the Dodgers. But I'm gonna
sit here and watch an inferior product in the world Series,
and these guys are gonna fux it all the way right,
all those two private planes. These guys are treated like
(29:44):
the freaking royal family when they go on the road.
They've been babied and coddled all year and they go
out there and they can't hit the damn ball in
the World Series. It's embarrassing.
Speaker 6 (29:53):
And that's why you go out of credit. You rip
the Dodgers, and you're a diehard understands and when I
to make excuses, that's that's why.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
That's right, exactly me me. And now who cares about that?
Is your wife feeling better? She was in the hospital
last week. She out of the hospital. Everything good, he was, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (30:09):
Man, that's what I'm so happy about. We got out
the hospital. So Monday night a bunch of my cousins
came over because it's at the hospital watching the daughter
to game My night football. I showed him the playback
when we called the hospital. A lot of my cousins said, bro,
you got the air for Fox Sports radio call show
because you know how lady went. So I got on,
I called, I was on hole. We didn't get on.
(30:30):
It was who while he left? But then why I'm
so happy with Who of my cousins called Techne tonight,
Hey is your Ben Now we're on from Fox Sports.
We can't sleep, so my cousin Brandon shouts to Brandon,
PA said, dude, I do I heard radio Donald it
why right when I started listening. Man, Now he's telling
some guy, are you really whiskey? What are you? Drew Tonight,
he's a dude, I'm a fan.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
I've never heard I.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Got how about that? We got new fans amazing, amazing.
Speaker 6 (30:57):
At the brand. But I saw him to night, but
I told him to play back. But on the iHeart
Radio podcast and tonight said, hey you been mount on tonight,
And that's right, that's what I heard called on when
I got called about and he said, are you getting whiskey?
You're drunks. My cousin text me he said, dude, I
never heard a sports show like this almost that. I
know why you like this guy so much.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
And well, thank your family. I appreciate your your pals
and your family. That says it is very cool. All right,
we'll leave it there. There's our guy hanging out right there. Man.
He took the oath last week. He's a sworn member.
Mike and Tucson. He's not a fake member. He's a
sworn in member of the Malord Militia. He's real, the
(31:38):
real deal, kind of like Blind Sea Bass in the
Greater Nashville metropolitan area. Hello, Blind Sea Bass, you are
on the Ben Maler Show on Fox.
Speaker 6 (31:47):
Welcome mag Daddy B.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
That's my name, that's my hip hop name. Thank you.
Speaker 5 (31:58):
Oh what, I'm going to switch it up on you
a little bit here? What's you thinking about my commodore?
I told you they was going to do.
Speaker 6 (32:05):
What they did.
Speaker 5 (32:06):
They lost, but they came back strong.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Are you doing the I told you call? Is that
what we're doing? I told you so you just said
I told you you did the I told you? Listen
what congratulations? Okay, that's another My entire life, Vanderbilt has
been the punching bag of the the SEC or whatever.
Speaker 6 (32:30):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
I know you live there, you're right there. Yeah, I
hear it.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
I know.
Speaker 5 (32:34):
I've been a fan of vany forever. And then now
you know we're ranked number nine in the country going
up against the manningless Texas or Texas asked you know
they've sucked all season, so you know that should be
another dove in the column. You know we're looking at
the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
I don't think. I don't think we're prepared for Vanderbilt
to make the college football playoff. I don't know that
we as a sports world are prepared for them to
be in there. They might have some kind of group
therapy or something along those lines.
Speaker 5 (33:02):
Dude, being when they make the playoffs, you go hear
us all the way from Nashville, go week crazy.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
I did not realize there was that big a group
of fans of Vanderbilt football. Had no idea. I did
not the silent majority who knew.
Speaker 5 (33:16):
Yeah that's well, you know a lot of us like
we still wear our gear, but you know, we don't
talk a lot of trash. But this season is the
only time we talk trash. Is there in baseball season?
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Yeah? Better enjoy it. You better enjoy it because this
continues that you're gonna lose your coach, You're gonna lose
a bunch of players will get money to go.
Speaker 5 (33:34):
I don't see no. No, let me stop you right there,
because I don't think Clarkly is going anywhere because he
is a Nashville kid. He went to Montgomery Academy.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Let me, have you heard the story about have you
heard the story about Craig Counsel who is a Wisconsin
kid and was managing the Brewers and then the Cubs
offered more money, so he's now managing the Cubs. So Vanderbilt, Yeah,
I know, you don't know. I got to leave it there.
As you know, I do network rate a very important
I'm I'm not buy the clock for the clock, all
about the clock, and if I do not follow the clock,
(34:05):
then Lorena will poke me in the eye and then
Bree will kick me. So I do not in the shit.
So I do not need That's right. I do not
need that at all. So the Dolphins were booed off
the field. They had a no show performance in prime
time gutless football by the Dolphins, and Mike McDaniel was
asked his thoughts on the fans booing the team and
then leaving the stadium early. It was very embarrassing for
(34:28):
the Dolphins. He said, quote, yeah, it sucks. He said,
that sucks. All of that does. But I think it's
a pretty consistent formula of fans enjoy winning, he said.
He then quote continues said and so our expectations is
that we have to do work and do the right things.
Blah blah blah for fans to enjoy the experience. See,
(34:49):
I don't think that's strong enough. He's not a very
strong guy. He's kind of a soft guy. McDaniel. It
should have been yet, I want we sucked at a
time you cannot suck. I want torts, want the full torts.
That's what I want. Give me torts, that's what I need. Okay,
or give me Remember that dark O Ryokovich, the coach
(35:11):
of the Raptors. That was a complete of crap. I
need that too. I need that Joe Madden when he
managed the Cups. Try not to suck. Give me something
like that. Buck Showalter, play better, you know something along
those lines. Anyway, it is the Ben Mahlershow we've got
Mallard to the third degree straight ahead time now though,
for the Insta Trivia Baltimore is Lamar Jackson and Mark
(35:34):
Andrews connected for two touchdowns in the Thursday night game,
the eleventh time they have had multiple scores in the
same game. The only quarterback tight end pairs to do
it more than Lamar and Mark Andrews are Tom Brady,
Rob Gronkowski, Philip Rivers, Antonio Gates and blank and blank.
That is the Insta trivia the answer. We'll get to it.
(35:57):
We will do it next.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
Be sure to live editions of the Ben Maller Show
weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (36:05):

that's evil all right time. Now for the payoff, on
the Insta trivia, and we'll get to Mallard of the
third degree. Lamar Jackson Mark Andrews connected for a couple
of touchdowns in the Thursday game. Eleven time that's happened.
The only QB tight end combos with more two touchdown
(37:08):
games than Lamar and Andrews are Tom Brady, Gronkowski, Philip Rivers,
Antonio Gates and Blank and Blank. That is the question.
What is the answer? Does anyone know? We go to
great and washed. Eloy from Compton says Chewbacca. Bobby in
Florida says the dynamic duel of Lorena and Brie, the
(37:32):
legendary combo of Pork and Beans from Ocho Texto in Houston,
Animal and Hawk the Road Warriors guests by Rob in Vegas,
Mister Elo from Shane in the Moine, John Elway, and
the horse Face Shad and Sharp from Josh and Nebraska.
That's not very nice. Who else do we have? Page down?
(37:52):
We can't read that? Jerry Jones guests by Alf the Alien,
Opiner Colombo and mister Monk guests by Femi. Let's see
who else? Vanilla Ice, Who's fifty eight today? From Late
Night Drug Tester, Jim Plunkett and Dave Casper from Eke
showing his age. It's Sam from Trick or Treat Guests
by Milkman, Mike for a nice Stan Humphreys and Alfred Pupunu.
Speaker 7 (38:14):
Do you have an answer, Lorrain, Yes, I gotta go
with Mike and Ike.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
Bet is it Mike and I know that is incorrect,
the correct the answer would be Drew Brees and Jimmy Wright.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
Back of the smaller about that to the third degree,
this is one big Ben gets.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
Grilled and now a woman who made a very poor
decision as a child and became a Saints fan. Our
friend Breeze. That was such a disc that's so good.
What's so true?
Speaker 7 (38:45):
I have my I am i Bloomingdale's trash back. Now
I've moved up. I'm not Trader Joe's anymore. I have
a Bloomingdale's trash, you know, for my ades. So that's exciting,
Thank you so much. I'm ed Ordren revealed on Wednesday
Bend he would love to return to LSU as the
head coach. What's the chances of that happening?
Speaker 1 (39:03):
You think I'll give Ed?
Speaker 2 (39:05):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (39:06):
I want to give him a ten percent chance, And
the only reason I'm going ten percent is he has
to have some booster. The way these guys get the jobs,
you got to suck up to the billionaire boosters, the
billionaire boys club, and if you get one of those
guys to sign off and support you, you can get
the job. But he failed at the end. He did
win with Drew Brees, with you, Brees with Joe Burrow
(39:28):
and whatnot. Next.
Speaker 7 (39:29):
Okay, so we're about four days away from the NFL
trade deadline. You've talked about a number of trade rumors
that a lot of.
Speaker 1 (39:35):
Teams have denied.
Speaker 7 (39:36):
Which team do you think is going to be most
active at the deadline.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
Well, the Giants should trade Russell Wilson or Jamis Winston.
I'd like to see Jameis Winston go somewhere and play.
I like watching him play, So that would be one.
And the Cleveland Browns Miles Garrett doesn't want to be there.
You can get a lot for him. We're going to
talk about that more later, but I think that would
be the obvious one. Also.
Speaker 7 (39:54):
Next, all right, the seventy six ers are four and
oh so far, and people are thinking that they are
legit contenders for once it isn't because of Joelle Embiid.
The evolution of Tyrese Maxey has people looking at Philly
a little bit different. Ben, do you think he's a
game changer.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
He's off to a good start. It's we're not even
at November first yet. I can't. I've been trying to
watch some of these NBA games. I'm not quite there yet.
I'm not buying the Sixers. When the dust settles, the
East is wide open, but I'm not buying that they're
going to be there at the end, mainly because Joel
Embiid is still on that team and he's dead weight.
How did we do plus Ben? Unlike the Saints, I
(40:33):
passed it up.
Boom shaka Laca, It's our numb bird two Happy, Happy
Halloween and Trick or treat? Well here at hour number two,
can you explain to Charles Barkley and Troy Aikman why
there is this obsession with the cowboys on TV? Both
of them taking some shots and it's kind of obvious
why the cowboys are there. I think these guys know it,
(00:22):
but I'll just remind them. Also, what is your takeaway
from Lions wide receiver Jamison Williams claiming despite having terrible numbers,
he's just been horrific since he signed his contract. He's
not frustrated after being an afterthought in the Detroit offense. Also,
not one, not two, but three Bengals defensive players have
requested to be released or traded. What does that tell you?
(00:44):
We'll go there as well? Right now here, it is
our number two. Hey, thanks for listening to the Ben
Maler Show podcast. It's me Ben. Be sure to catch
us live every weeknight from two to six Eastern eleven

Speaker 1 (01:17):
Get the old cowboy boots ready. Welcome in the beginning
of another hour of the Ben Mathers Show. We are
in the air everywhere on the river of life, as
we are the Sports Night Court. We are like a courtroom.
We decide very important sports issues under the cover of darkness,
(01:39):
coast to coast, border to border and beyond, on the
vast and on fathomably powerful microphones of FSR, am monating
live from the bump things that go bumpity bump in
the night the middle of the night on Halloween, from
the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios, where legends like
(02:02):
Tree in Chicago have paid visits in the past. Trees
come in here and hung out with us back in
the day. This portion of the Ben Mallor Show and
Fox made possible in part by our friends at tire Rack.
For over forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers
like Angry Bill find the right tires for how, what
and where they drive, ship fast and free back by
(02:25):
free road hazard protection, which makes Kathy and Madison very
happy and Ruth as well. With convenient installation options which
Eileen likes in San Francisco, like mobile tire installation ti
iraq dot com the way tire buying should be. This
portion of the show also made possible in part by
Express Employment Professionals. Getting a new job can be so
(02:45):
much easier with Express Employment Professionals. With Express you'll have
a local connection to the job market, which is very important.
We're trying to get Alfinfergdog new jobs get started at
expresspros dot com to find a location near you. That's
w w W dot expresspros dot com. So we're still
(03:07):
yapping about that Thursday night NFL game as it goes
to the team from Maryland, a domination situation. We'll circle
back to that in a little bit. But our lead
this hour indirectly now indirectly, it's from Jerry's World. So
it's it's from Jerry's World now. Charles Barkley went on
a rant and by that inside the NBA, is that
(03:31):
not the greatest thing that's been on ESPN since the
before Sports Center went woke, you know, back in the
old days. It's just great, and it's it's because it's
not an ESPN show. It's they're just paying for the show.
It's not their show, They're just paying for it anyway.
Charles Barkley, I took a lighthearted jab at the obsession
of ESPN with the Dallas Cowboys. Of course, it's not
(03:55):
just ESPN. Everyone is obsessed with the Dallas Cowboys. Now, Troykman,
who knows a thing or two about the Dallas Cowboys.
I hear he played for them before I was alive.
Of course, So Aikman chimed in, wink wink, nod, nod.
He chimed in on this, and he agreed with sir Charles,
so what Yeah. So I don't know if you saw
this or not. Maybe not. Aikman gave the quote which
(04:17):
is the money quote When asked about Charles Barkley's rant,
he said, quote, he meaning Barkley. He is right about
one thing. I think there is a contractual obligation for
every network, everyone to talk about the Dallas Cowboys. Aikman said,
close quote. All right, so that is that's a pretty
(04:38):
good jumping off point. Let us discuss now the question
realizing we're not part of the mainstream. We are not
part of the mainstream. We're on overnight. There's two types
of talk radio. There's six am to six pm. That's
prime time. Everything else leftovers, not primetime. We're not part
of the mainstream, So understand that going in. But I
have dabbled a couple of times. They've allowed me to
(04:59):
cross the rub of and go to the primetime stuff,
and so I know a little bit how they make
the sausage and all that. So the question, can you
explain to Charles Barkley and Troy Aikman why there is
an obsession with the Dallas Cowboys on television? So my
observation on this, I've got Taylor Swift, Foghorn, Leghorn, and
(05:25):
hip hop, and I promise you, hand to God, never
before has there been a Mallard monologue or a radio
monologue combining Taylor Swift, Foghorn, Leghorn, and hip hop. It
has never happened before. And if it has happened, I'll
pay you ten thousand dollars if you can find me
somebody that did that. And it's not Ai and all that.
So anyway, here we go, Here we go. This is
(05:46):
very important. So we're gonna put all these things together
and we are going to make the most delicious Halloween
candy of them all. The Buttercup, the Peanut Buttercup by
far the top Halloween Kenny so number one. Okay, okay,
(06:10):
So you know how we all need oxygen. We're told
otherwise it's lights out, the game's overright, that's it, So
we need oxygen. The Cowboys are the oxygen if you're
at a network doing television, they are. If you take
(06:31):
the Dallas Cowboys away, people are going to suffocate. And
do you really want people to suffocate? I'm telling you
it's oxygen. It's the same reason. You know, I don't
we don't think that's the third round, my man. Don't
talk about politics, but it's the same things like when
when CNN or those those other numbers cover Donald Trump
for the sports world. The Cowboys are like President Trump,
(06:51):
like people either love him or they hate him, but
either way they pay attention to them.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Right.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
The Cowboys are the NFL's clickbait factory. And they don't
even have to be good because they really haven't been
all that good for a long time. They have gone
to the NFC title game in like thirty years or
something along those lines. So all the Cowboys have to
do when you scrub everything away, now, I scrub everything.
(07:17):
Why all they have to do is just exist. That's it.
That's it. They are the Walmart of football. They're open
twenty four hours and if it's a slow day, give
me a cowboy story. Everywhere you look, and it's filled,
fill to the brim, fill to the brim with people
that you either despise or secretly shop with. Right, it's broadcasting,
(07:40):
as we like to say, it's not narrow casting. And
the networks are not chasing moral victories. They're not looking
to be fair. They don't want to be fair. Right,
they're not in the fair business. They're in the advertising business.
And in the advertising business, I go back to what
I said, it's broadcasting. You need a broad audience in
(08:00):
order to get you what It's kind of simple. If
you ever took a media class in school, or if
you studied it all online, you're gonna have to go
to school. Now you can do stuff online. You're trying
to get a broad audience, right, you're chasing eyeballs. The cowboys.
They move numbers like Taylor Swift on ticket Master. Right,
imagine Ticketmasters saying we shouldn't focus too much on Taylor's swift. Well,
(08:20):
why not she sells all the super tickets Jerry. And
of course the secret is Jerry Jones. The secret is
Jerry Jones. Jerry Jones is Flave of Flave, right, He's
Don King, He's p. T. Barnum, He's Dana White, He's
Vince mcmah and all those cats rolled into one leathery
oil tycoon package. He wants you to hate him because
(08:44):
he knows that hate is good for business. It is.
And you know, those of us that have been in
radio long time, we know the legendary tales. They call
it the Stern effect. Before Stern went woke and before
back when he had his fastball, you couldn't just turn
them off. But people really really hated Stern. But they
listen longer. And Jerry knows people hate Jerry Jones. People
(09:06):
get annoyed by Jerry Jones, but they pay more attention
than those that actually like Jerry Jones, right, And it's
just because they want to have the opportunity to be
upset by something that he does. Meanwhile, like if you
were to be perfectly fair and do a network sports show,
you'd have to talk about Jacksonville, right, Jacksonville. The Jaguars
could win twelve games. Now I'm ripped from time to
(09:28):
time because I will actually mention them, and I'll mention
some of the bad teams. People, what are you doing?
What you mentioned that team? They're not for good. I
don't want to hear about that team. The Jaguars could
win twelve games, they could have the greatest offense in
the world and packed house the whole thing, and nobody
outside of Douvall County would even notice. It's the same
reason that you very rarely hear Charles Barkley talk about
(09:51):
the Charlotte Hornets or the Sacramento Kings. It's not good, no,
and Barkley will rip the fact they talk about the Lakers.
But that's the NBA's version the Cowboys, right, the Lakers,
they don't win that much, they haven't won since Kobe, right,
but yet they still get talked about a lot. The
Cowboys could go eight to nine every year or seven
to ten, and we're gonna get a week long symposium, Okay,
(10:15):
full freaking week symposium on what's wrong with blank whether
it's the coach, the quarterback, you know, Dak whoever. But
that's the point, right, They're not a football team. They're
a soap opera. That's what they are, right, It's a
daily soap opera. And the whole America's team thing has
played out. That's from the seventies or whatever. They're America's
(10:37):
ratings machine. They are, And the moment that that no
longer applies, I promise you that the rules will change
and they'll move on to something else. They will all
right now, Pace two, one of those teams that does
not have a huge national reach is in Detroit. There's
an interesting story here the Lions offensive coordinator John Morton.
(11:02):
John Morton has announced that he has failed. He has
failed one of his players. He has apparently failed someone named
Jamison Williams. He signed a relatively big contract not that
long ago, and in terms of getting the player of
the ball, hasn't done it enough. So Morton met with
(11:22):
Jamison Williams in the bye week to try to figure
out why they can't get him the ball, why he
is not involved in the offense at all. So, when
asked about the supporting actor status that the second second
guy in lastly really a third third wheel at this point.
So Lion's wide receiver Jamison Williams was asked about that
(11:44):
he said, though shockingly, he's not frustrated. He says he's not.
He said, when asked about I said, I'm not frustrated.
I'm me, I'm me. He said, okay, So that is
the money quote. That is the money quote. The question
what is your takeaway from the aforementioned Lions wide receiver
Jamison Williams not being frustrated with being an afterthought? So
(12:08):
it is a red flag, is what it is. Like
whiteouts have to go. If you're a star wide out
or a good white out, you have to go full
Johnny Cash and walk that line. You have to walk
the line. Now, you walk the line between being assertive
like the drunk guys that called Last Hour, and also disruptive,
(12:29):
much like the drunk guys that called Last Hour, knowing
that silence is not golden. Silence means starvation if you're
not demanding the ball, famous give me the damn ball.
The books have been written like that, but Williams is
not wired that way. It appears that the Lions would
like him to go full Foghorn Leghorn and go Kaka
(12:52):
doodle doo, and he's not doing that. Instead of being
an assertive rooster, he says I'm fine, I'm not frustrated. Yeah,
you're the guy was seventeen catches heading into Halloween weekend,
seventeen catches through seven games and sixty seven million guaranteed. Congratulations,
everything is great. So Jamison Williams is a glorified decoy.
(13:16):
Couldn't you find someone to pay sixty seven million dollars
to to not be a decoy, or certainly pay them
less to be a decoy? So police, police, Now he's
opening up nothing. Now, this is that I got paid.
I don't care. Vibe. We all know the vibe. I
got mine. I got mine, bro like that loser Blake Snell.
(13:38):
I did a monologue yes about how pathetic Blake snow was,
and unfortunately some other people picked up on it and
got a little bit of traction. People were shocked at
how dumb Blake snell sounds when he said that the
fact that he gave up ten runs in the World
Series was based on bad luck. Just great. Anyway, back
to the monologue. So the Lions gave this guy, Jamison Williams,
(14:01):
the bag. What's in the back? They gave him the
bag and now he's essentially a spectator with a helmet.
Terrible ROI terrible ROI, return on investment horrific on that
and the Lions have built that offense around who I'm
on Ross and Brown, Jamiir Gibbs and Sam Laporta. Not
(14:22):
this guy. Not this guy. He is an accessory. He's
an ad on. It's kind of like when you buy
a car and they try to upsell you and say, well,
do you need the net in the back of the car. Well, no,
I don't need the net in the back of Well
you kind of do, and it's it's got the logo
of the car on it, but I don't really need it.
But no, yeah you can have it. How much does
it cost? Don't what's working in You'll pay it off
If you costs seven thousand dollars for the net? Okay, fine,
(14:45):
why not. I'll take the net. But anyway, listen the
Lions and you look at it like his production and
his attitude when I see I don't. I'm not frustrated.
I'm fine, you know, I'm me. It's nothing beats a
jet to holiday, right, It's that Lion like he's on holiday.
Jamison already already got his money. You know, he's paid
(15:08):
guaranteed money. He's won the lottery and he's good. And
the Lions got played all right, final point and we
have a humdinger of a story. Humdinger of a story.
We go to northern Kentucky just to annoy our friends
in Cincinnati, and they said, well, no, Cincinnati is You've
got to cross the water there, and there's it's it's
in a it's in Ohio, and Kentucky is in a
(15:31):
different place. Okay, So when I fly into Cincinnati, what
airport do I Where do I land?
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (15:36):
That's right, Kentucky. Okay. Anyway, Bengals defensive tackle someone named
McKinley Jackson, and then West, your last name is Jackson
or you went to high school with this guy. You
have no idea who he is. But McKinley Jackson has
requested a trade. Now, normally, if a no name player
says I want a trade, we don't bring it up.
We don't know who the player is. Who cares doesn't
(15:57):
matter at us. That story would not see the lie
to day. It's it's a little different here. And here's why.
Because Jackson, this guy McKinley Jackson, who's no one other
than friends and family know who he is, Jackson is
the third number three. He's the third defensive player in
recent weeks to request a relocation number three. So the question,
(16:21):
You've got three Bengals defensive players who have asked out
who said I would like to go asta La Vista
and get the hell out of here. They want to
either be traded or released. So what does that tell you?
What does that indicate? So it is a obviously a
mass evacuation on one side of the ball. Now tells
me after a minutes long Mallard deliberation, that the three
(16:46):
Bengal defensive players who are leading such a charmed life
they would like to relocate to some other member of
the football cartel. They're enjoying some nice hip hop music
on the radio and now they want to go hip
any hop out of Cincinnati. Coming apart at the seams,
McKinley Jackson is not a star. He's not a household name.
(17:08):
Yet he's seeking greener pastures and he's been a healthy
scratch for six of the eight games the Bengals of play.
He's what we call him talk radio roster spam is
what he is. You scroll past him on the depth chart.
He's like an expired coupon, you don't pay any attention
to it. The dates expired. Nevertheless, when the guys at
(17:29):
the bottom of your roster are begging I must leave,
what does that tell you? What does that tell you?
It tells you there's an underlying condition. There is and
we're talking about a bad locker room. Whether it's the
bad locker room juju or the morale is toxic? And
(17:50):
is that because the coaches? Is that because of the
players in there that are not controlling things. You've got
players who are sprinting to the exit like there's a
fire in the film room. At the Bengals facility, almost
twelve percent of the defensive roster wants out. That is
not an accident. That is a team wide allergy of accountability.
(18:14):
And it's they've fallen to dead last and total defense.
Now it was the Ravens for a long time, Now
it's the Bengals. The Cowboys were dead last for a
brief period as well. But the Bengals are worse than
the NFL defensively. They are the chunky Soup defense. They
give up chunk plays Campbell's Chunky Soup. They give up
big chunk plays and big steaming games. And there's no
(18:37):
nutritional value, no nutritional value. And if you update now
the rhythmic chanting, who day, who day? Whoday? Think they're
gonna stay with the Bengals. And will the last person
leaving Cincinnati it's gonna be either just Josh, either just
Josh or justin in Cincinnati. Will the last person leaving
Cincinnati turn out the last the parties over? Please? Now,
(19:00):
it is the Mallard doctrine. And you know because you're
a good minion and a member of the Mallard militia.
The Mallard doctrine. You cannot coach effort, you cannot fake buying.
You can't do it, cannot do it. Once that belief
of operates, all that's left is finger pointing, pointing the finger.
That's all that's left. Point the finger and slamming the door.
(19:24):
If you don't believe me, look at the Miami Dolphins
right now. They're going through the same stuff. In the
case of Cincinnati. It's what I call bungal syndrome. Their
inner bungle is coming out right now. The disease has returned.
The disease has returned. Symptoms include bad tackling, eye rolling, sudden,
unexpected trade request all part of it, part of Bungal syndrome.
(19:46):
McKinley Jackson, who uses our jumping off point on this
mall monologue, he is not the problem. He is the
symptom of the problem. And the Bengals defense has gone
from a pack of Bengal tigers to a litter of housecats.
Nice house cats. Here, kitty kitty, here, kitty kitty, nice
(20:06):
house cat, meowing, meow, meowing for freedom. It is the
Ben Maler Show. We want to come out of any
of that. You can join us right now at eight

your team was booed off the field? What is your response?

boo flat. They're so frustrated from your no show performance

Your team gets booed off the feet old, So how
do you handle that? That was from the Thursday Night NFL.
It's appropriate on Halloween. No, on Halloween you should get booed.
(23:14):
I'm trying to come up with a bit. I was
playing around with it when I was coming in the studio.
I was like, I remember Art Bell. I'm sure they're
doing it over at Coast to Coast. They would do
ghost to ghost on Halloween. Ghost to ghost and all that.
So what would the sports radio equivalent be of that? Like,
if we were to not rip that off but borrow it,
(23:34):
what would it be? What would it be? Let's go
to the phones. Let's say hello to Dominican Mike. Who's
up next on this Halloween? Hello, Dominican Mike.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Good evening, Ben, Good evening, Ben. I got to have
the honor to say that I'm your first non drunk
caller of today.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Right, are we sure about that? I don't know. I
don't know positive right, I'm pretty.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Bothered with it.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
But and uh, I also heard on one of your
take you mentioned when was the last time you saw
a twenty four hour Walmart.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Before the pandemic? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Exactly exactly. They are not around anymore, you know.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Yeah? That shocks Yeah, we should, we should, we should
complain about that. Can we get back to having twenty
four hour stores? Can we get back to that?
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Absolutely? Absolutely? I want to like to. I just got
back from the gym. I'm working. I wanted to do
some shopping, but you mentioned that, and that's why I
brought my attention. I'm like, you gotta be kidding me.
There's nowhere that I can go shopping right now twenty
four hours, you know, yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Yeah, and like that's like New York. I don't know
if you've been New York recently, but you go to Manhattan,
my brother, I go visit my brother. I was like, Oh,
New York, the city that never sleeps. That's bull crap.
They sleep the store, you know, the restaurants close at
nine o'clock, and maybe you can get a turkey sandwich
at a bodega, but even those are closed now and
they're all weed shops. So I screwed shop.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, Hey Ben you you you tell
story from time to time about someone told you that
they were fans of sports or a team and they
went a whole generation without winning or something like that
and they quit. I don't know, they quit sports or
they quit the team. Not correct that it's sounds familiar.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Well. Yeah. The most famous we had back in the
early days when I was doing the show on the weekends.
We had a guy named jahadis John from Michigan. And
this is one of the craziest stories. This guy was
the biggest fan I loved the show, really got it.
One of the early guys that was a fan of
the show. And he had a pack. He determined if
(25:35):
he was a fan of the Lions, and he was
a fan. I think he liked the Cubs, if I
remember correctly, And he said if his teams didn't win
a championship by the time he turned forty, he was
never going to watch sports again. And people say that
and it's bull crap and they lie. He didn't. He's done,
he left, and I've never I've not heard from him
(25:56):
since he turned forty, and it's been years, so it's
probably probably fifty.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Because I can tell you I've been I grew up
in Miami and I've been a Dolphins fan. The last
time the Dolphins won a playoff game, I was technically
a teenager. And now I can now get my full
patient from work for retirement. That's how long it's been.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Yeah, No, it's it's crazy. And they they were so
good every year when I was a kid, the Dolphins
had great teams. They were always on TV. They had,
you know, stories of Don Shula and Dan Marino even
guys before that obviously, and it's crazy.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
Yeah, yeah, So.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
I'm kind up to that stage after last year. I
watched the Island Games, but like the Sunday games, I
put the red zone and I just stand around and
I don't watch anymore because it's not worth it. It's
not worth it, you know.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
No, No, I hear you. If the if you go
to a restaurant and you love the restaurant, they changed
the menu and the food's not that good, why are
you going to keep buying the food at the restaurant.
There's no point to it.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Right, absolutely, And Ben about the World Series, I have
unpopular tache and you're gonna hate business take but you
can mark my words. Goalst Runner is coming to the
playoffs and all the World Series within the next two years. Guarantees.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
No, no, we don't need it.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
An eighteen inning game again, you can mark my works.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Man, Now, we don't need it. We do not need
a ghost You do not want a World Series decided
by a ghost runner.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
You don't, I know, but but it's coming. It's coming.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
They don't want games ending up at uh.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
But would have what would have happened Dominican Mike, And
you know, because you're a baseball guy, is if that
game had gone one more inning that the Dodgers were
claiming they were going to go to a position player.
Uh and the Blue Jays would have had to go
to a position and you imagine a position player they
would have. I don't know how they can futs around
with the rules. You cannot have that either. You can't
have a position player pitch in a in a World
(27:53):
Series game to decide who's gonna win a game in
the World Series.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
I know.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
I always say this should be like hockey if you
have you know, hockey has like the third goalie, who
should have something like that in base on and then
have like somebody to play amateur or something like that
and be like the last sort.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Anyway, I think the I think hockey got rid of
that where they had like the high school teacher that
would be the goalie. They did for years though it
was a great story. There'd be some guy that the
guy that drove the zamboni would be the goal goaltender
for a night.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Maybe maybe they call you in, man, maybe they call
me in.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
You know, I know how to throw a mean pitch.
I've thrown out the first pitch at a couple of
minor league games over the year. So I've been on
the mound in a stadium, a professional baseball stadium. I
played in Dodgers Stadium back in the day when you know,
back years ago. So that's right, that's right, all right,
thank you Tomican, Mike. Enjoy Halloween. There's a great Dominican Mic.
Let's go to Enie Meenie miney. Most go to Mike
(28:46):
in Tucson. What's going on, Mike and Tucson. Welcome, Hello, Mike, Mike.
Speaker 6 (28:52):
I would be a Dodger fat not in La, understand,
because they couldn't hit water off the boat.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Yes, yes, yeah, But then I give you a.
Speaker 6 (29:02):
Lot of credit because you bash your team. You don't
make excuses for the weather plane. I've heard so many
excuses how that people forget he as a designated hitter.
He was walked most of the night. But a lot
of excuses from Dodgers apologies. But then you rip your seat,
(29:22):
as you said, so you're.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
The really that's right. I keep it real. I like
these other people, and I get ripped for it. People
get upset with me. They well, I thought you were
a Dodger fan. So I have to drink the blue
kool aid because I like the Dodgers. But I'm gonna
sit here and watch an inferior product in the world Series,
and these guys are gonna fux it all the way right,
all those two private planes. These guys are treated like
(29:44):
the freaking royal family when they go on the road.
They've been babied and coddled all year and they go
out there and they can't hit the damn ball in
the World Series. It's embarrassing.
Speaker 6 (29:53):
And that's why you go out of credit. You rip
the Dodgers, and you're a diehard understands and when I
to make excuses, that's that's why.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
That's right, exactly me me. And now who cares about that?
Is your wife feeling better? She was in the hospital
last week. She out of the hospital. Everything good, he was, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (30:09):
Man, that's what I'm so happy about. We got out
the hospital. So Monday night a bunch of my cousins
came over because it's at the hospital watching the daughter
to game My night football. I showed him the playback
when we called the hospital. A lot of my cousins said, bro,
you got the air for Fox Sports radio call show
because you know how lady went. So I got on,
I called, I was on hole. We didn't get on.
(30:30):
It was who while he left? But then why I'm
so happy with Who of my cousins called Techne tonight,
Hey is your Ben Now we're on from Fox Sports.
We can't sleep, so my cousin Brandon shouts to Brandon,
PA said, dude, I do I heard radio Donald it
why right when I started listening. Man, Now he's telling
some guy, are you really whiskey? What are you? Drew Tonight,
he's a dude, I'm a fan.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
I've never heard I.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Got how about that? We got new fans amazing, amazing.
Speaker 6 (30:57):
At the brand. But I saw him to night, but
I told him to play back. But on the iHeart
Radio podcast and tonight said, hey you been mount on tonight,
And that's right, that's what I heard called on when
I got called about and he said, are you getting whiskey?
You're drunks. My cousin text me he said, dude, I
never heard a sports show like this almost that. I
know why you like this guy so much.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
And well, thank your family. I appreciate your your pals
and your family. That says it is very cool. All right,
we'll leave it there. There's our guy hanging out right there. Man.
He took the oath last week. He's a sworn member.
Mike and Tucson. He's not a fake member. He's a
sworn in member of the Malord Militia. He's real, the
(31:38):
real deal, kind of like Blind Sea Bass in the
Greater Nashville metropolitan area. Hello, Blind Sea Bass, you are
on the Ben Maler Show on Fox.
Speaker 6 (31:47):
Welcome mag Daddy B.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
That's my name, that's my hip hop name. Thank you.
Speaker 5 (31:58):
Oh what, I'm going to switch it up on you
a little bit here? What's you thinking about my commodore?
I told you they was going to do.
Speaker 6 (32:05):
What they did.
Speaker 5 (32:06):
They lost, but they came back strong.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Are you doing the I told you call? Is that
what we're doing? I told you so you just said
I told you you did the I told you? Listen
what congratulations? Okay, that's another My entire life, Vanderbilt has
been the punching bag of the the SEC or whatever.
Speaker 6 (32:30):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
I know you live there, you're right there. Yeah, I
hear it.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
I know.
Speaker 5 (32:34):
I've been a fan of vany forever. And then now
you know we're ranked number nine in the country going
up against the manningless Texas or Texas asked you know
they've sucked all season, so you know that should be
another dove in the column. You know we're looking at
the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
I don't think. I don't think we're prepared for Vanderbilt
to make the college football playoff. I don't know that
we as a sports world are prepared for them to
be in there. They might have some kind of group
therapy or something along those lines.
Speaker 5 (33:02):
Dude, being when they make the playoffs, you go hear
us all the way from Nashville, go week crazy.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
I did not realize there was that big a group
of fans of Vanderbilt football. Had no idea. I did
not the silent majority who knew.
Speaker 5 (33:16):
Yeah that's well, you know a lot of us like
we still wear our gear, but you know, we don't
talk a lot of trash. But this season is the
only time we talk trash. Is there in baseball season?
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Yeah? Better enjoy it. You better enjoy it because this
continues that you're gonna lose your coach, You're gonna lose
a bunch of players will get money to go.
Speaker 5 (33:34):
I don't see no. No, let me stop you right there,
because I don't think Clarkly is going anywhere because he
is a Nashville kid. He went to Montgomery Academy.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Let me, have you heard the story about have you
heard the story about Craig Counsel who is a Wisconsin
kid and was managing the Brewers and then the Cubs
offered more money, so he's now managing the Cubs. So Vanderbilt, Yeah,
I know, you don't know. I got to leave it there.
As you know, I do network rate a very important
I'm I'm not buy the clock for the clock, all
about the clock, and if I do not follow the clock,
(34:05):
then Lorena will poke me in the eye and then
Bree will kick me. So I do not in the shit.
So I do not need That's right. I do not
need that at all. So the Dolphins were booed off
the field. They had a no show performance in prime
time gutless football by the Dolphins, and Mike McDaniel was
asked his thoughts on the fans booing the team and
then leaving the stadium early. It was very embarrassing for
(34:28):
the Dolphins. He said, quote, yeah, it sucks. He said,
that sucks. All of that does. But I think it's
a pretty consistent formula of fans enjoy winning, he said.
He then quote continues said and so our expectations is
that we have to do work and do the right things.
Blah blah blah for fans to enjoy the experience. See,
(34:49):
I don't think that's strong enough. He's not a very
strong guy. He's kind of a soft guy. McDaniel. It
should have been yet, I want we sucked at a
time you cannot suck. I want torts, want the full torts.
That's what I want. Give me torts, that's what I need. Okay,
or give me Remember that dark O Ryokovich, the coach
(35:11):
of the Raptors. That was a complete of crap. I
need that too. I need that Joe Madden when he
managed the Cups. Try not to suck. Give me something
like that. Buck Showalter, play better, you know something along
those lines. Anyway, it is the Ben Mahlershow we've got
Mallard to the third degree straight ahead time now though,
for the Insta Trivia Baltimore is Lamar Jackson and Mark
(35:34):
Andrews connected for two touchdowns in the Thursday night game,
the eleventh time they have had multiple scores in the
same game. The only quarterback tight end pairs to do
it more than Lamar and Mark Andrews are Tom Brady,
Rob Gronkowski, Philip Rivers, Antonio Gates and blank and blank.
That is the Insta trivia the answer. We'll get to it.
(35:57):
We will do it next.

third degree. Lamar Jackson Mark Andrews connected for a couple
of touchdowns in the Thursday game. Eleven time that's happened.
The only QB tight end combos with more two touchdown
(37:08):
games than Lamar and Andrews are Tom Brady, Gronkowski, Philip Rivers,
Antonio Gates and Blank and Blank. That is the question.
What is the answer? Does anyone know? We go to
great and washed. Eloy from Compton says Chewbacca. Bobby in
Florida says the dynamic duel of Lorena and Brie, the

Speaker 7 (38:14):
Do you have an answer, Lorrain, Yes, I gotta go

Speaker 1 (38:19):
Bet is it Mike and I know that is incorrect,
the correct the answer would be Drew Brees and Jimmy Wright.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
Back of the smaller about that to the third degree,
this is one big Ben gets.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
Grilled and now a woman who made a very poor
decision as a child and became a Saints fan. Our
friend Breeze. That was such a disc that's so good.
What's so true?
Speaker 7 (38:45):
I have my I am i Bloomingdale's trash back. Now
I've moved up. I'm not Trader Joe's anymore. I have
a Bloomingdale's trash, you know, for my ades. So that's exciting,
Thank you so much. I'm ed Ordren revealed on Wednesday
Bend he would love to return to LSU as the
head coach. What's the chances of that happening?
Speaker 1 (39:03):
You think I'll give Ed?
Speaker 2 (39:05):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (39:06):
I want to give him a ten percent chance, And
the only reason I'm going ten percent is he has
to have some booster. The way these guys get the jobs,
you got to suck up to the billionaire boosters, the
billionaire boys club, and if you get one of those
guys to sign off and support you, you can get
the job. But he failed at the end. He did
win with Drew Brees, with you, Brees with Joe Burrow
(39:28):
and whatnot. Next.
Speaker 7 (39:29):
Okay, so we're about four days away from the NFL
trade deadline. You've talked about a number of trade rumors
that a lot of.
Speaker 1 (39:35):
Teams have denied.
Speaker 7 (39:36):
Which team do you think is going to be most
active at the deadline.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
Well, the Giants should trade Russell Wilson or Jamis Winston.
I'd like to see Jameis Winston go somewhere and play.
I like watching him play, So that would be one.
And the Cleveland Browns Miles Garrett doesn't want to be there.
You can get a lot for him. We're going to
talk about that more later, but I think that would
be the obvious one. Also.
Speaker 7 (39:54):
Next, all right, the seventy six ers are four and
oh so far, and people are thinking that they are
legit contenders for once it isn't because of Joelle Embiid.
The evolution of Tyrese Maxey has people looking at Philly
a little bit different. Ben, do you think he's a
game changer.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
He's off to a good start. It's we're not even
at November first yet. I can't. I've been trying to
watch some of these NBA games. I'm not quite there yet.
I'm not buying the Sixers. When the dust settles, the
East is wide open, but I'm not buying that they're
going to be there at the end, mainly because Joel
Embiid is still on that team and he's dead weight.
How did we do plus Ben? Unlike the Saints, I
(40:33):
passed it up.
