Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's going to be a real spitter of a good time. Well,
come in.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
It's our number too, our number two. And did Bengals
wide receiver Jamar Chase actions warrant and NFL suspension the
spit heard around the NFL? Also, what's the message for
people concerned about Rams wide receiver Puka Nakua's physical style
of football he was bragging about not going out of mountains.
(00:26):
And James Franklin, the old Penn State coach heading to
do the hokey pokey at Virginia Tech. Is this a
good landing spot for Franklin who had a lot of
schools interested in him. We'll talk about that and more
right now here. It is our number two. It promises
(00:46):
to be a spitting good time. Welcome in the beginning
of another hour of the Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
We are in the air, ever.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Re where as we burn the clock, burn, baby burn,
and we are bringing everyone to the table.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Even if you don't want to go to the table,
you have to.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
You have to coast to coast, border, the border and
beyond on the vast and swaggeringly powerful microphones of fs.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Are ammating live.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
We do it live from the Running the Running of
my big fat mouth from the world famous Fox Sports
Radio Studios, as approved by the real Martin Wow at
the airport in Denver if he still works there. He
used to work there and Rob the goat Man. There's
(01:44):
a couple of goat men, but there's only one Rob
the goat Man, so there you go. And also Van
the one legged Bama Man, who reminds me that this
portion of the Ben Maler Shawn Fox made possible in
part by our friends at tire Rack. That's right, tire
I know, thumbs up, thumbs down, Eddie likes it.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
For over forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers
like Tommy in Atlanta find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive, ship fast and free back
by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like
mobile tire installation tire raq dot com. The way tire
buying should be. So our lead this hour from Cincinnati.
(02:27):
We go to Cincinnati. We do not go back and
rehash the Monday night game, the Cowboys winning big over
the Raiders, but our leaders from Cincinnati, where the flem flies.
The talk follows. When the flem flies, the talk follows.
Follow up, follow up, to a previous Mallar monologue, we
(02:49):
now have the Court of the NFL ruling on what happened.
You might remember Bengals wide receiver Jalen or Jamar rather
Jamar Chase, the Bengal wide receiver, Jamar Chase, got into
it with Jalen Ramsey, the journeyman defensive back. They went
back and forth. Ramsey was ejected and he said postinghimad listen,
(03:12):
that guy sped on me. That guy's a spitter, and
uh well mol oh my god. Well, the NFL's ruled
because at the time Jamar Chase said, well, I didn't
do it. I didn't I didn't spit.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
No spit for me. Didn't happen.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Well, it turns out that Bengel's wide receiver Jamar Chase
has been suspended for one game one game for spitting
on Jalen Ramsey. Chase can and will appeal the NFL's
ruling to suspend him.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
They say, it's it's up.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
In the air.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
I've heard he has already started the appeal process. The
evidence is overwhelming, overwhelming evidence that he did it, and
barring some kind of elevel and our plea deal, some
kind of pardon, from the NFL. Jamar Chase will miss
(04:07):
the week twelve game against the New England Patriots. If
the suspension is upheld, he'll be out. So that is
a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question
did did Bengals wide receiver Jamar Chase actions warrant the
one game NFL suspension? So my observations this, I have
(04:29):
Planet Earth, Anthony Bourdain, and rotting barn in the woods,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make some.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Delicious kettle corn.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Man, if you get kettlecorn with just the right salt
and sugar, it's one of.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
The great things. Not good for your teeth, but it's
really good, all right. So number one number.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
To answer the question, did Jamar Chase action did his
actions warrant the suspensioned? Uh, I'm gonna go a hell
to the yeah with a giant chunk of mucus, big
gooey green gob of mucus. Yes, yes, yes, yes. The
tape don't lie, the tape don't lie. We saw it.
It wasn't ai. You spin on a guy, you're out.
(05:19):
You spin on a guy, you're right now. In the
old days, they would encourage spitting, but not right now.
Not right now. There's really no gray area on this.
Like I was thinking about as I was driving in,
was there any really out on this that you can
you can go to. It's the single most disrespectful thing
that one can do on a football field outside of
(05:41):
kicking someone in the nuts. You kick him in the pills.
That's pretty bad, I would say, spitting a giant loogie
right there in your face.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Man, that's it.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
And it's it's.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
On four K video. It's not like, who's a I.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Okay, crystal clear pristine video. And it looks like someone
shot the video on a brand new iPhone. Like you
know how you watch those commercials like the iPhone and
they show like yeah, they slow down everything and they
show you how good the camera is.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
It.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
It was that kind of thing. It was like, oh, man,
that's really good. Look at that camera. Wow, that's expensive,
but that's a good camera. I can see look at
I can see that. I can see the little flem,
the pieces of phlam. I could see it coming out
of the mouth of the player. You can literally see
the lugie. The launch angle. Baseball people love launch angle.
You could see the launch angle on the lugie and
(06:38):
as it approached Jalen Ramsey and his shoulder pads, you
could see it the launch angle. I'll have to check
with the Elias Sports Bureau, but it looked like one
of those nature documentaries. I'm a big documentary guy, so
I watched even nature documentaries because that's exciting life that
I live as a middle aged man. So I watched
these nature documentaries and it's like Planet Earth, the migrat
(07:00):
of the saliva wad and you get some big voiceover
guy there with a deep voice, and you do the
voice over. There, the giant blob just gliding through the
air on a thermal current right to the player.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Boom. President has been set. We know that we talked
about this.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
This is the at least the second spinning monologue that
we've gotten. Remember the first game of the NFL season
Philadelphia in Dallas, there was the there was Originally it
was like Dak Prescott spit, but he you're allowed to
spit as long as the phlem does not touch another
human being. You can spin on the ground, which proves
(07:40):
the NFL does not respect Mother Earth. Because the NFL
allows you to spit giant wads of mucus onto Mother Earth.
But if you spin on another human being, it becomes problematic.
So Jalen Carter got tossed before the game. That counted
as a He was like on the field, but he
didn't play in a play, an actual snap, and so
(08:02):
that counted as a game suspension. So actions create consequences,
we all know that. And you do the crime, and
you have to do the time. In this case, if
you spit crime, you spit time. You have to do that.
You have to do that. So and what would the
defense be? Let's try to workshop that. What do you
(08:23):
think the defense would be for Jamar Chase, the Bengal
wide receiver.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Like, what would the defense be?
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Sorry, your honor, I'm sorry to have to go over
this with you. I missed the bullseye. The lugi actually drifted,
and since the lugi drifted, I should only be suspended
for the first half. Well, we don't do that. We
do full game, we don't do first time. But no, no, no,
I did not hit Ramsey in the face with the phlem.
(08:50):
I did not, Like, what are we doing? You don't
get leniency because your spit had bad wind resistance, which
is what happened to Jamar Chase here is he hit
the shoulder pad the jersey, but not it did not appear.
There might have been some shrapnel, mucus, little bits of
(09:11):
bacteria that hit Ramsey, but the main lugi and I
watched this about one hundred times, the main lugi hit
the jersey shoulder pad area of Jalen Ramsey. You know,
so just listen, just own it. You hawk to it,
and that's what you did, and you know, there you go.
(09:32):
Now the good news I'll be Benny Brightside because I
am not just a negative overnight gas bag. I will
be Benny Brightside here and as Benny Brightside. The good
news is Jamar Chase now has dinner reservations with legends
like Roberto Alomar and Carl Everett and who else a
Jalen Carter, Bill Romanowski, the greatest Rojon Rondo. I remember
(09:54):
when he spat on some of you did a monologue
about that. Reggie Miller a spinner.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Do you know that?
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Yeah, Reggie Miller, so pose you spat on a fan
back in the day with the Pacers. So now, how
cool is that Jamar Chase can can pass the breadsticks
around the table have some Fetacini Alfredo with Roberto A.
Lamar and Carl Everett and Jalen Carter and Bill Romanowski
and all those guys. Rondo, that's a holy trinity of
(10:21):
flem It's great, all right. Meanwhile, to La we go
another wide receiver in the headlines, but for different reasons,
that would be pook Gotten Nakua. It was a breakout
star a little while back for the Rams and has
continued to be a very efficient player for the Rams. Now.
He played some grab ass with Pat McAfee, because that's
(10:43):
all you can do is play grab ass with Pat McAfee.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
But in this particular interview.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
On Zoom, Pat McAfee was were playing grab ass and
Pooka Nakua said that stepping out of bounds with the
ball is soft with a capital as. It's soft, and
he's never going to do it. He's never gonna do it,
and this of course created some Oh my god, Sean
(11:09):
mcvain needs to talk to him.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
He's gonna get himself killed. Oh my god. Yeah, people
that panic over everything you lose.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
There is fake people, all right, question, what's the message
do you have a message to the people concerned about
Rams Wide? Receiver Puka Nakua and the physical style of
football which he appears to enjoy. So yes to those
in the corner of the room, the back right hand
(11:40):
corner of the room, that's you's the back left hand
corner of the room. The out of an abundance of
caution crowd as I like to call them, clutching their
pearls in the fetal position. They've got pearls in one hand.
They're sucking their thumb, but they should be. No, they
shouldn't be doing that because that bad hygiene. Give me
a break, Okay, please come on. I know that you've
(12:05):
tried to change, and you have succeeded in changing. This
is not the game of football. I grew up with
the game of football I'm watching now. I realize that.
And if you want finesse, if that's what you're gunning for,
I would like for theess. I recommend you go on
the YouTube and watch some pickleball highlights.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Very exciting. Watch the pickle ball. The injuries, Eh, what
about the longevity?
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Oh my god, the wear and tear, the blankety blank
blank blank blank blank, Spare me, spare me now, this
is Pooga Nakou's identity. This is his brand, this's how
he plays, it's who he is. Good for him, you know,
it's a bit of a throwback. I used to use
(12:47):
those words gamer, whatever you want to say. Not a
gamer like today, but one of the few guys in
the NFL that likely drives around with like a linel
Richie Cassette stuck to the to the tape deck there.
And he also, much like myself and al Michaels, is
anti vegetable, so we have that in common. There's a
(13:08):
kinship I have with Pooka Nkua. He's taken a strong
anti vegetable position and that's working. And this is working
as well. He's third in the league in catches thirteen yards.
I'd believe he's fourth in touchdown. It's pookin the coua.
And if that is a reckless style of football, which
you knuckleheads, some of you, I'm talking to a very
(13:29):
small percentage of the people listening, but you know who
you are. You know, hey, if that's reckless, can I
get a roster full of reckless players? I would like
to have that. I love the way he plays. Good
for him, And as the late great Anthony Bourdain, one
of the all time wonderful TV chefs in My life,
(13:49):
Anthony Bourdaine said, your body is not a temple. It
is an amusement park. It's an amusement park ride and
might as well enjoy it. And yeah, he's doing it.
And you get on the ride and you buckle up
and all that. You scream your lungs out, and you
hope the bolts don't fall off the ride because the
(14:10):
carnival was the guy the carnival, the carneie was doing
meth in the back. You hope that doesn't have But listen,
they're worried to be were worried about pooka Nkua not
stepping out of bounds. Oh my god, he's gotta step
out of bounds. Half the league gets hurt getting out
of bed. The other half get hurt on walk crughs.
(14:32):
So life in the NFL is short. Whether you're tiptoeing
through the tulips and whether you're trucking a safety a
truck stick to a safety, it doesn't matter. And as
the great Huey Lewis, one of the great lines in
musicret said, We're not here for a long time, We're
here for a good time. And Pooka is living that out.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Good for him. We don't need no catch. We need dolls.
We need doll we got. He's a dog. He's a dog.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
He wants he wants the smoke. Now, he better not
run out of bounds this week or everyone's well, you said.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
You were going to run out of a buck.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
You run out of bound.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
So I just let the guy play his way. It's working.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
The Rams are tied for the top record in the NFC,
although they're behind the Eagles because of the tie breaker.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
And plus this listen is Pooka's story. It's not your story,
it's his story.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
And he's clearly doesn't have an anxiety Pooka Nicole based
on what has happened here. And he's out there stiff
arming people and whatnot. You know, that's that's just how
he is. He's in a different zip code than a
lot of the guys that are playing today, like Justin
Jefferson of the Vikings, who makes business decisions, and you
all you kiss his ass. Oh, he made a good
(15:47):
a couple of interceptions that ravens game and he didn't
even bother to try to make a play because that's him.
That's that's in his DNA, justin Jefferson, He's not He's
not a dog. No, no, no, he's a kiddie cat
cat gi it cat here kid kitty, kitty here, kidding kitty. Meanwhile,
to college football, that's right. Don't tell anyone the rare
(16:09):
and appropriate mention of college football. I bring this up
because it's a good story, and you know the mantra.
Maybe you don't know the mantra. We have a mantra.
I have no idea one of the things be So
how can you do a talk reader. I've been doing
this for a long time. I got to do this
every day, so every day it's different. If I was
talking about the same stuff every day, I would lose
my freaking mind.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
In fact, I don't even do what all the.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Good talk shows, you know, these big time guys like
Cowhard and Dan Patrick, they do like one topic for
three hours. They don't even do four hours. They'll do
one topic. That's what most of the shows do. I
get bared out of my mind if I did one topic. Okay,
I can't do one topic. I gotta change it up
every hour anyway, So college football get to the point, please,
So the big news out.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
It's not done done.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
I don't believe the DOCU sign has gone through. However,
it appears James Franklin has found a new job. The
old Penn State coach has a new game. So question,
James Franklin to Virginia Tech. Is this a good landing
spot or not for James Franklin. So after a minutes
(17:13):
long deliberation of the available jobs and looking at the
resume of James Franklin, I have determined yes with a
capitol Y, Yes with a capitol Y.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Here's why.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Because James Franklin is walking out of a big time
job at Penn State, which he clearly failed at against
top opponents, and now he is going to one of
the ultimate fixer upper gigs in college football?
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Can we all agree to anyone disagree with that?
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Does anyone disagree that the Virginia Tech job is a
great fixer upper? The thing has been sitting on cinderblocks
since Frank Beemer retired, and the porch is collapsing a
little bit. You drive by, it's really tough to look at.
The porch is collapsing, the roof leaks, there's raccoons living
in the in the attic it's a real mess, and
(18:04):
it's like James Franklin comes in here.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
This should be a reality.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
TV show, one of those HGTV shows where full gut
rehab with James Franklin, quirky fun you know, go down
to Home Depot, go down to Low's, buy a bunch.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Of lumber, and Blacksburg.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Virginia has not mattered for years, for years, it hasn't better.
The last ten win season twenty sixteen, the last ACC title.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
It's been almost a generation.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
It's twenty ten, so we're about fifteen years twenty years
as a generation, so another five years it will have
been a generation. And the program is essentially it's a
it's a time capsule. It's kind of like I was
having some conversations with someone who's a friend of mine
and we were talking about how like you tell somebody
who's under the age of like twenty that the Raiders
(18:57):
and Cowboys used to be a big deal. And I said,
what are you talking about. Will you tell someone under
the age of like thirty, You say, well, Virginia Tech
used to matter, and they said, no, you're out of
your mind, you boomer.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
But they did.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
I remember, it was like a time capsule when Michael
Vick was there for a couple of years. You kind
of dust it off. You squint really hard, and you
might see a highlight from nineteen ninety nine. My god,
it's it's been a while. But that's why this is
a perfect fit for James Franklin. The blessing of low
(19:32):
expectations and a guy who's still got old juice. James
Franklin go out in the recruiting trail. Of course, get
these days, you got to have a big booster to
cut checks. But he knows the region. That's the point.
He knows the region. The same pipelines that Penn State
looked at to get offensive linemen, defensive linemen and all
that Virginia Tech they do. They do the hokey pokey
(19:55):
and they're doing the same thing. And the other thing
is Franklin does not have to build old a spaceship here.
You're not trying to go to Mars. You just have
to have the Hokies look like a respectable program, something
other than a rotting barn out in the woods, which
is what they look like right now, a rotting barn
out in the woods. And it's a it's a great
(20:16):
bounce back job. It's the old trampoline. Franklin doesn't have
to win a national title. That's not happening. He's win
nine games, have a couple of nine win seasons at
Virginia Tech. Sniff just the expanded playoff. Something smells weird,
but just slip it in. Boom boom boom boom boom boom.
(20:38):
He's back, baby, he's back on the coaching seesaw. You're down,
you're up, you're down, You're up, and he'll get floated
for some big money jobs again. So well, Franklin, he
went down to Virginia Tech, and now he's ready to
bounce back up to a big ten or an SEC job.
And there you go. The minute some athletic director panics
(20:58):
and all that and we got hi this guy Franklin,
and they'll forget. They'll have amnesia about everything that happened
at Penn State. And so it's the classic real estate play.
You buy the rundown property, you slap some pain on it,
you fix the issues with the foundation, you do enough
there that you stop the tilting, and then you flip it,
(21:20):
and you flip it real good. You flip it up
in the air. Everywhere and Virginia Tech. It's a good
marriage because they need relevance. They've been off the grid
at Virginia Tech for a while. Franklin needs redemption. So
it's a transactional relationship, is what it is for James Franklin.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
It's a bit cynical.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
That's not a bad thing, and it's perfect because the
Hokies again, they're worn down. They're a time ravaged relic
that was good twenty five years ago. But if James Franklin,
if he can just get them from ramshackle to respectable Ramshackle,
the respectable, get them out of the ten district, then
(22:01):
he becomes a hot name again and a good gig
will find him with a great escape route, which is
out of Virginia Tech. Everyone will be happy until he leaves,
and then the people of Virginia Tech will be upset.
And the best laid plans of mice and men. This
was supposed to be Michael Vick's job, remember, except Michael
Vick's done a terrible job in his coaching debut.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
But the idea was that vic would go.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Down coach at the lower level for a couple of
years and they end up at Virginia Tech. He could
still end up in Virginia Tech if he figures out
how to coach Michael Vick, because Jane Franklin, if he's
any good, will not be at Virginia Tech very long.
And if he sucks, he won't be at Virginia Tech
very long because they'll get rid of him. It is
the Ben Maller Show. If you'd like to be part

Speaker 2 (26:07):
You're gonna go jail, all right, so you're going option
D well cool? We Uh, you may.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Be right because I called his Obama phone.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Weed Man's got a government provided phone, the Obama phone,
and he the phone went, it didn't ring it. It
said this number is not available, which is usual. That
that means that either you're right, yeah, yeah, like he's
probably he's probably in jail. And we we had our
we used to have our guy in the Bay Area
(26:37):
who passed away, who used to check the jail records
to find weed Man in jail.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
But he's not the one who did that.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Yeah, he would look for he would look for the
raider A's Tom Brady roast fan. Yeah, but he's not
around any more unfortunately, so we don't know. But yeah,
he passed away at the end of last year, so
who knows what's going on with him. I don't know,
but hopefully he's okay. I do have Lisa's contact information,
believe it or not. She's emailed the show before or
(27:07):
email me about about stuff, so I can contact Lisa
who's on Long Island and see if I can find out.
But he's not here right now, so we'll go on
with the regular show. I know, Blind Scott, you're very
disappointed that we don't have weed Man. You had a
question for him.
Speaker 6 (27:18):
I know, I know weed Man in IRL. We're actually friends.
I don't know, like he has different numbers, but I
have thought voicemails deepen up until like a month ago
from him. One time Ed and Christina rented a car
in Portland, Maine. Remember they went to see him, and
they thought they could leave the car down there, and
then they drove all the way back up here.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Yeah, they had to drive all the way back because
if they had left the car in Miami, they would
it would cost like five thousand dollars or something to
leave the car shipped or just lead to leave it there.
Speaker 6 (27:46):
Yea, yeah, so they the Tiny Tim. He made three
appearances on Howard Stern in nineteen nine.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
I was I was actually telling Lorena and Coop about
some of the legendary Tiny Tim appearances back before whence
was good, back in the day. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (28:02):
Yeah, So I'd like to get on radio shows like that,
but they won't let me go into the studio. So
I have bits and stuff like that, and I'm trying
really high to emulate that type of radio culture. And
it's hard nowadays, but I do know, like some of
the big people like it.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
I radio.
Speaker 6 (28:18):
They do do a lot of shows like that still,
but it's just hard because culture is changing so fast
right now. But Tiny Tim was ahead of the time
and culture. You could probably I mean, you don't really
it would be. The good part about Tiny Tim is
he was an alcoholic, so it was really entertaining because
he drank when he was on the air.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
You know, yeah, well, he's just probably a bunch of
stuff other than alcohol. Weird Al Yankovic vibes like looking
at weird Out.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
He was small though, he wore woman's clothes.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
And you know a lot about it's okay, and then.
Speaker 6 (28:57):
Lenny Kravitz's daughter is like really famous. Now, what would
your wife check to ask you a question? What would
you wife say if you just started interviewing all these
fans models on the fifth hour?
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Like how long?
Speaker 1 (29:09):
That's a good question.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
I mean, I guess i'd find out if she's listening.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
I don't. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
I'm not attracted to women.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Yeah, well those I might be, but yeah, anyway, who knows? Anyway,
all right, very nice, I thank you, Scott. Hey, one
more thing never goes well.
Speaker 6 (29:24):
You know that your vacation time you haven't taken much
to have you take him to take a week before.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
I have a job, I like, I will. What were
you worried about me taking time off?
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Are you concerned?
Speaker 7 (29:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (29:36):
Yeah, could cruise the routine your.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Least, cruise up your schedule.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Okay, I actually will be working on Thanksgiving. I believe
I was asked by the boss about that. I don't.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
I will not.
Speaker 6 (29:50):

Speaker 2 (35:07):
There's a helmet man where he goes only he knows time.
Now though for the Insta Trivia, and here it is
the Insta trivia.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
Lions quarterback Jared Goff.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
We'll have Mallard of the third degree coming up. Lion's
quarterback Jared Goff seven for twenty five passing in the
second half on Sunday night. The twenty eight percent on
completions the lowest in the second half for a player
with twenty plus attempts since blank again.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Jared Goff was seven of twenty five.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
He had eighteen incompletions in the second half of the
Sunday night game in Philly. The Lions quarterback was at
twenty eight percent on completions, the lowest that is the
lowest in the second half for a player with twenty
plus attempts since blank. That's the insta tribua, the answer
and Mallard of the third degree.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
We'll get to it. We'll do it next.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup, and
then catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio dot

Speaker 2 (36:08):
Bill Miller and you you're locked in on the Ben

of the Mallard militia. You do not have to just listen.
You could interact now we use x mostly during.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
The live show. However.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
The show is on Instagram at Ben Mahler on Fox
and Facebook at Ben Maler's Show. Get behind the count
say I just did say behind the scenes chaos and
other nonsense. Support the circus that digital world. The tent
does not close. Back to it all right time Now
(36:42):
for the insta trivia. Then we'll get to mallor to
the third degree. But here's the insta trivia before we
go there, And here's the question of the hour. So
Lions quarterback Jared Goff was just seven for twenty five
in the second half against Philly on Sunday Night. That
twenty eight percent completion rate on the pass is lowest
(37:04):
in the second half for a player with twenty plus
attempts since blank.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
That is the question. What is the answer?
Speaker 2 (37:12):
Rob the goat Man going with Freddie Mercury is his answer?
Andy and Lionel Lake's going with Christian Ponder. Why would
you even ponder passing? King Rory, says Grandpa Simpson. Wolfgang
Puck from Shane in Des Moines. Sir scratch Off guest
by Malard Propyo. Those are good image of Sir scratch Off. Well,
he enjoys a good burger. Who else do we have?
(37:33):
David Ortiz, who is fifty today from the Late Night
Drug Tester, Tiny Tim Tebow from Nurse Jockey, Just Josh
going with Billy Blanks is his answer, Well, we hope not.
Who else do we have? Let's see page down. Cody
Carlson guests by Paully dee Eke is going with Jeff
(37:54):
George as his answer. Rodney Pete guest by Dante Tony
Romo from Johnny Q. Who else do we have? Page
NW Deeter Brock guest by Ryan Ron in San Diego,
Rich Gannon from Larry D. What say you, Lorena? It
is not George Bland. I guess by a via the right.
Speaker 4 (38:13):
I've gotta go with my Dallas Cowboy quarterback Troy Aikman.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
You saw him in Wicked. No, that is incorrect. The
correct the answer would be Brian Hoyer way back a
decade ago versus the Dolphins in twenty fifteen.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
Brian Hoyer. Here we go, Here we go, Here we go,
Here we go, Here we go, Here we go, down.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
To the third degree. This is one big event.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
Gets grilled cool it.
Speaker 4 (38:38):
Bryce Young has had an up and down career so
far in an up and down season multiple times this
year he seems close to losing his job, but on
Sunday he beat Cam Newton Panthers single game passing record.
Does this game prove that the jury is still out
on Young?
Speaker 2 (38:52):
No? Because he'll have a three hundred or four hundred
yard passing game. Then he'll come back and throw for
one hundred and fifty yards and two interceptions or anception
here and a fumble there, and he's I believe he's
been under two hundred yards in every game other than
two this year where he's had breakout games.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
That is not something you can build a football team around.
He's not.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
Every time I watch him, he sucks. I didn't see
much of the game against Atlanta. Look good, fine now
that the jury is still out.
Speaker 4 (39:20):
Next, Miles Garrett is a generational talent on a really
bad team. He got four more sacks on Sunday against
the Ravens to get to fifteen on the season. Do
you think he breaks straighthand and TJ. Watt's record.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
Well, the records really not straight hands because of what happened.
Now here's what I'd like to see happen. I want
to see history repeat itself.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
Coop. The Brown's final game of.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
The season is against the Cincinnati Bengals. I would like
to see Joe Flacco take a dive if he's playing
there and allow allow the record.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
But no, I'm gonna I'm gonna go. No, Miles Garrett.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
There'll be some kind of injury.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
He'll miss out next.
Speaker 4 (39:55):
Lebron James is close to returning to the Lakers, and
so far the team has been pretty good without him.
Do you think Lebron's return will help or hurt the team?
Speaker 2 (40:04):
They'll inevitably lose a game they're supposed to win with Lebron.
Lebron won't play well and then it'll be killed Lebron.
That'll be here, that goes.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
So then let it. Lebron came back, Yo, Lebron, it
was so good without Lebron.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
What are they doing? Oh god, that's how that's gonna
go by there? It is malary third degree?
Speaker 1 (40:21):
How did we do? He passes that as they went
played on the barn. I won the game. That's right.
Good out the milkman Mike in Colorado.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
I won the game.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
I want it for him
It's going to be a real spitter of a good time. Well,
come in.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
It's our number too, our number two. And did Bengals
wide receiver Jamar Chase actions warrant and NFL suspension the
spit heard around the NFL? Also, what's the message for
people concerned about Rams wide receiver Puka Nakua's physical style
of football he was bragging about not going out of mountains.
(00:26):
And James Franklin, the old Penn State coach heading to
do the hokey pokey at Virginia Tech. Is this a
good landing spot for Franklin who had a lot of
schools interested in him. We'll talk about that and more
right now here. It is our number two. It promises
(00:46):
to be a spitting good time. Welcome in the beginning
of another hour of the Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
We are in the air, ever.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Re where as we burn the clock, burn, baby burn,
and we are bringing everyone to the table.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Even if you don't want to go to the table,
you have to.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
You have to coast to coast, border, the border and
beyond on the vast and swaggeringly powerful microphones of fs.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Are ammating live.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
We do it live from the Running the Running of
my big fat mouth from the world famous Fox Sports
Radio Studios, as approved by the real Martin Wow at
the airport in Denver if he still works there. He
used to work there and Rob the goat Man. There's
(01:44):
a couple of goat men, but there's only one Rob
the goat Man, so there you go. And also Van
the one legged Bama Man, who reminds me that this
portion of the Ben Maler Shawn Fox made possible in
part by our friends at tire Rack. That's right, tire
I know, thumbs up, thumbs down, Eddie likes it.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
For over forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers
like Tommy in Atlanta find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive, ship fast and free back
by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like
mobile tire installation tire raq dot com. The way tire
buying should be. So our lead this hour from Cincinnati.
(02:27):
We go to Cincinnati. We do not go back and
rehash the Monday night game, the Cowboys winning big over
the Raiders, but our leaders from Cincinnati, where the flem flies.
The talk follows. When the flem flies, the talk follows.
Follow up, follow up, to a previous Mallar monologue, we
(02:49):
now have the Court of the NFL ruling on what happened.
You might remember Bengals wide receiver Jalen or Jamar rather
Jamar Chase, the Bengal wide receiver, Jamar Chase, got into
it with Jalen Ramsey, the journeyman defensive back. They went
back and forth. Ramsey was ejected and he said postinghimad listen,
(03:12):
that guy sped on me. That guy's a spitter, and
uh well mol oh my god. Well, the NFL's ruled
because at the time Jamar Chase said, well, I didn't
do it. I didn't I didn't spit.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
No spit for me. Didn't happen.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Well, it turns out that Bengel's wide receiver Jamar Chase
has been suspended for one game one game for spitting
on Jalen Ramsey. Chase can and will appeal the NFL's
ruling to suspend him.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
They say, it's it's up.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
In the air.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
I've heard he has already started the appeal process. The
evidence is overwhelming, overwhelming evidence that he did it, and
barring some kind of elevel and our plea deal, some
kind of pardon, from the NFL. Jamar Chase will miss
(04:07):
the week twelve game against the New England Patriots. If
the suspension is upheld, he'll be out. So that is
a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question
did did Bengals wide receiver Jamar Chase actions warrant the
one game NFL suspension? So my observations this, I have
(04:29):
Planet Earth, Anthony Bourdain, and rotting barn in the woods,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make some.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Delicious kettle corn.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Man, if you get kettlecorn with just the right salt
and sugar, it's one of.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
The great things. Not good for your teeth, but it's
really good, all right. So number one number.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
To answer the question, did Jamar Chase action did his
actions warrant the suspensioned? Uh, I'm gonna go a hell
to the yeah with a giant chunk of mucus, big
gooey green gob of mucus. Yes, yes, yes, yes. The
tape don't lie, the tape don't lie. We saw it.
It wasn't ai. You spin on a guy, you're out.
(05:19):
You spin on a guy, you're right now. In the
old days, they would encourage spitting, but not right now.
Not right now. There's really no gray area on this.
Like I was thinking about as I was driving in,
was there any really out on this that you can
you can go to. It's the single most disrespectful thing
that one can do on a football field outside of
(05:41):
kicking someone in the nuts. You kick him in the pills.
That's pretty bad, I would say, spitting a giant loogie
right there in your face.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Man, that's it.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
And it's it's.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
On four K video. It's not like, who's a I.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Okay, crystal clear pristine video. And it looks like someone
shot the video on a brand new iPhone. Like you
know how you watch those commercials like the iPhone and
they show like yeah, they slow down everything and they
show you how good the camera is.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
It.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
It was that kind of thing. It was like, oh, man,
that's really good. Look at that camera. Wow, that's expensive,
but that's a good camera. I can see look at
I can see that. I can see the little flem,
the pieces of phlam. I could see it coming out
of the mouth of the player. You can literally see
the lugie. The launch angle. Baseball people love launch angle.
You could see the launch angle on the lugie and
(06:38):
as it approached Jalen Ramsey and his shoulder pads, you
could see it the launch angle. I'll have to check
with the Elias Sports Bureau, but it looked like one
of those nature documentaries. I'm a big documentary guy, so
I watched even nature documentaries because that's exciting life that
I live as a middle aged man. So I watched
these nature documentaries and it's like Planet Earth, the migrat
(07:00):
of the saliva wad and you get some big voiceover
guy there with a deep voice, and you do the
voice over. There, the giant blob just gliding through the
air on a thermal current right to the player.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Boom. President has been set. We know that we talked
about this.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
This is the at least the second spinning monologue that
we've gotten. Remember the first game of the NFL season
Philadelphia in Dallas, there was the there was Originally it
was like Dak Prescott spit, but he you're allowed to
spit as long as the phlem does not touch another
human being. You can spin on the ground, which proves
(07:40):
the NFL does not respect Mother Earth. Because the NFL
allows you to spit giant wads of mucus onto Mother Earth.
But if you spin on another human being, it becomes problematic.
So Jalen Carter got tossed before the game. That counted
as a He was like on the field, but he
didn't play in a play, an actual snap, and so
(08:02):
that counted as a game suspension. So actions create consequences,
we all know that. And you do the crime, and
you have to do the time. In this case, if
you spit crime, you spit time. You have to do that.
You have to do that. So and what would the
defense be? Let's try to workshop that. What do you
(08:23):
think the defense would be for Jamar Chase, the Bengal
wide receiver.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Like, what would the defense be?
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Sorry, your honor, I'm sorry to have to go over
this with you. I missed the bullseye. The lugi actually drifted,
and since the lugi drifted, I should only be suspended
for the first half. Well, we don't do that. We
do full game, we don't do first time. But no, no, no,
I did not hit Ramsey in the face with the phlem.
(08:50):
I did not, Like, what are we doing? You don't
get leniency because your spit had bad wind resistance, which
is what happened to Jamar Chase here is he hit
the shoulder pad the jersey, but not it did not appear.
There might have been some shrapnel, mucus, little bits of
(09:11):
bacteria that hit Ramsey, but the main lugi and I
watched this about one hundred times, the main lugi hit
the jersey shoulder pad area of Jalen Ramsey. You know,
so just listen, just own it. You hawk to it,
and that's what you did, and you know, there you go.
(09:32):
Now the good news I'll be Benny Brightside because I
am not just a negative overnight gas bag. I will
be Benny Brightside here and as Benny Brightside. The good
news is Jamar Chase now has dinner reservations with legends
like Roberto Alomar and Carl Everett and who else a
Jalen Carter, Bill Romanowski, the greatest Rojon Rondo. I remember
(09:54):
when he spat on some of you did a monologue
about that. Reggie Miller a spinner.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Do you know that?
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Yeah, Reggie Miller, so pose you spat on a fan
back in the day with the Pacers. So now, how
cool is that Jamar Chase can can pass the breadsticks
around the table have some Fetacini Alfredo with Roberto A.
Lamar and Carl Everett and Jalen Carter and Bill Romanowski
and all those guys. Rondo, that's a holy trinity of
(10:21):
flem It's great, all right. Meanwhile, to La we go
another wide receiver in the headlines, but for different reasons,
that would be pook Gotten Nakua. It was a breakout
star a little while back for the Rams and has
continued to be a very efficient player for the Rams. Now.
He played some grab ass with Pat McAfee, because that's
(10:43):
all you can do is play grab ass with Pat McAfee.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
But in this particular interview.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
On Zoom, Pat McAfee was were playing grab ass and
Pooka Nakua said that stepping out of bounds with the
ball is soft with a capital as. It's soft, and
he's never going to do it. He's never gonna do it,
and this of course created some Oh my god, Sean
(11:09):
mcvain needs to talk to him.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
He's gonna get himself killed. Oh my god. Yeah, people
that panic over everything you lose.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
There is fake people, all right, question, what's the message
do you have a message to the people concerned about
Rams Wide? Receiver Puka Nakua and the physical style of
football which he appears to enjoy. So yes to those
in the corner of the room, the back right hand
(11:40):
corner of the room, that's you's the back left hand
corner of the room. The out of an abundance of
caution crowd as I like to call them, clutching their
pearls in the fetal position. They've got pearls in one hand.
They're sucking their thumb, but they should be. No, they
shouldn't be doing that because that bad hygiene. Give me
a break, Okay, please come on. I know that you've
(12:05):
tried to change, and you have succeeded in changing. This
is not the game of football. I grew up with
the game of football I'm watching now. I realize that.
And if you want finesse, if that's what you're gunning for,
I would like for theess. I recommend you go on
the YouTube and watch some pickleball highlights.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Very exciting. Watch the pickle ball. The injuries, Eh, what
about the longevity?
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Oh my god, the wear and tear, the blankety blank
blank blank blank blank, Spare me, spare me now, this
is Pooga Nakou's identity. This is his brand, this's how
he plays, it's who he is. Good for him, you know,
it's a bit of a throwback. I used to use
(12:47):
those words gamer, whatever you want to say. Not a
gamer like today, but one of the few guys in
the NFL that likely drives around with like a linel
Richie Cassette stuck to the to the tape deck there.
And he also, much like myself and al Michaels, is
anti vegetable, so we have that in common. There's a
(13:08):
kinship I have with Pooka Nkua. He's taken a strong
anti vegetable position and that's working. And this is working
as well. He's third in the league in catches thirteen yards.
I'd believe he's fourth in touchdown. It's pookin the coua.
And if that is a reckless style of football, which
you knuckleheads, some of you, I'm talking to a very
(13:29):
small percentage of the people listening, but you know who
you are. You know, hey, if that's reckless, can I
get a roster full of reckless players? I would like
to have that. I love the way he plays. Good
for him, And as the late great Anthony Bourdain, one
of the all time wonderful TV chefs in My life,
(13:49):
Anthony Bourdaine said, your body is not a temple. It
is an amusement park. It's an amusement park ride and
might as well enjoy it. And yeah, he's doing it.
And you get on the ride and you buckle up
and all that. You scream your lungs out, and you
hope the bolts don't fall off the ride because the
(14:10):
carnival was the guy the carnival, the carneie was doing
meth in the back. You hope that doesn't have But listen,
they're worried to be were worried about pooka Nkua not
stepping out of bounds. Oh my god, he's gotta step
out of bounds. Half the league gets hurt getting out
of bed. The other half get hurt on walk crughs.
(14:32):
So life in the NFL is short. Whether you're tiptoeing
through the tulips and whether you're trucking a safety a
truck stick to a safety, it doesn't matter. And as
the great Huey Lewis, one of the great lines in
musicret said, We're not here for a long time, We're
here for a good time. And Pooka is living that out.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Good for him. We don't need no catch. We need dolls.
We need doll we got. He's a dog. He's a dog.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
He wants he wants the smoke. Now, he better not
run out of bounds this week or everyone's well, you said.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
You were going to run out of a buck.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
You run out of bound.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
So I just let the guy play his way. It's working.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
The Rams are tied for the top record in the NFC,
although they're behind the Eagles because of the tie breaker.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
And plus this listen is Pooka's story. It's not your story,
it's his story.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
And he's clearly doesn't have an anxiety Pooka Nicole based
on what has happened here. And he's out there stiff
arming people and whatnot. You know, that's that's just how
he is. He's in a different zip code than a
lot of the guys that are playing today, like Justin
Jefferson of the Vikings, who makes business decisions, and you
all you kiss his ass. Oh, he made a good
(15:47):
a couple of interceptions that ravens game and he didn't
even bother to try to make a play because that's him.
That's that's in his DNA, justin Jefferson, He's not He's
not a dog. No, no, no, he's a kiddie cat
cat gi it cat here kid kitty, kitty here, kidding kitty. Meanwhile,
to college football, that's right. Don't tell anyone the rare
(16:09):
and appropriate mention of college football. I bring this up
because it's a good story, and you know the mantra.
Maybe you don't know the mantra. We have a mantra.
I have no idea one of the things be So
how can you do a talk reader. I've been doing
this for a long time. I got to do this
every day, so every day it's different. If I was
talking about the same stuff every day, I would lose
my freaking mind.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
In fact, I don't even do what all the.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Good talk shows, you know, these big time guys like
Cowhard and Dan Patrick, they do like one topic for
three hours. They don't even do four hours. They'll do
one topic. That's what most of the shows do. I
get bared out of my mind if I did one topic. Okay,
I can't do one topic. I gotta change it up
every hour anyway, So college football get to the point, please,
So the big news out.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
It's not done done.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
I don't believe the DOCU sign has gone through. However,
it appears James Franklin has found a new job. The
old Penn State coach has a new game. So question,
James Franklin to Virginia Tech. Is this a good landing
spot or not for James Franklin. So after a minutes
(17:13):
long deliberation of the available jobs and looking at the
resume of James Franklin, I have determined yes with a
capitol Y, Yes with a capitol Y.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Here's why.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Because James Franklin is walking out of a big time
job at Penn State, which he clearly failed at against
top opponents, and now he is going to one of
the ultimate fixer upper gigs in college football?
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Can we all agree to anyone disagree with that?
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Does anyone disagree that the Virginia Tech job is a
great fixer upper? The thing has been sitting on cinderblocks
since Frank Beemer retired, and the porch is collapsing a
little bit. You drive by, it's really tough to look at.
The porch is collapsing, the roof leaks, there's raccoons living
in the in the attic it's a real mess, and
(18:04):
it's like James Franklin comes in here.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
This should be a reality.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
TV show, one of those HGTV shows where full gut
rehab with James Franklin, quirky fun you know, go down
to Home Depot, go down to Low's, buy a bunch.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Of lumber, and Blacksburg.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Virginia has not mattered for years, for years, it hasn't better.
The last ten win season twenty sixteen, the last ACC title.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
It's been almost a generation.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
It's twenty ten, so we're about fifteen years twenty years
as a generation, so another five years it will have
been a generation. And the program is essentially it's a
it's a time capsule. It's kind of like I was
having some conversations with someone who's a friend of mine
and we were talking about how like you tell somebody
who's under the age of like twenty that the Raiders
(18:57):
and Cowboys used to be a big deal. And I said,
what are you talking about. Will you tell someone under
the age of like thirty, You say, well, Virginia Tech
used to matter, and they said, no, you're out of
your mind, you boomer.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
But they did.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
I remember, it was like a time capsule when Michael
Vick was there for a couple of years. You kind
of dust it off. You squint really hard, and you
might see a highlight from nineteen ninety nine. My god,
it's it's been a while. But that's why this is
a perfect fit for James Franklin. The blessing of low
(19:32):
expectations and a guy who's still got old juice. James
Franklin go out in the recruiting trail. Of course, get
these days, you got to have a big booster to
cut checks. But he knows the region. That's the point.
He knows the region. The same pipelines that Penn State
looked at to get offensive linemen, defensive linemen and all
that Virginia Tech they do. They do the hokey pokey
(19:55):
and they're doing the same thing. And the other thing
is Franklin does not have to build old a spaceship here.
You're not trying to go to Mars. You just have
to have the Hokies look like a respectable program, something
other than a rotting barn out in the woods, which
is what they look like right now, a rotting barn
out in the woods. And it's a it's a great
(20:16):
bounce back job. It's the old trampoline. Franklin doesn't have
to win a national title. That's not happening. He's win
nine games, have a couple of nine win seasons at
Virginia Tech. Sniff just the expanded playoff. Something smells weird,
but just slip it in. Boom boom boom boom boom boom.
(20:38):
He's back, baby, he's back on the coaching seesaw. You're down,
you're up, you're down, You're up, and he'll get floated
for some big money jobs again. So well, Franklin, he
went down to Virginia Tech, and now he's ready to
bounce back up to a big ten or an SEC job.
And there you go. The minute some athletic director panics
(20:58):
and all that and we got hi this guy Franklin,
and they'll forget. They'll have amnesia about everything that happened
at Penn State. And so it's the classic real estate play.
You buy the rundown property, you slap some pain on it,
you fix the issues with the foundation, you do enough
there that you stop the tilting, and then you flip it,
(21:20):
and you flip it real good. You flip it up
in the air. Everywhere and Virginia Tech. It's a good
marriage because they need relevance. They've been off the grid
at Virginia Tech for a while. Franklin needs redemption. So
it's a transactional relationship, is what it is for James Franklin.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
It's a bit cynical.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
That's not a bad thing, and it's perfect because the
Hokies again, they're worn down. They're a time ravaged relic
that was good twenty five years ago. But if James Franklin,
if he can just get them from ramshackle to respectable Ramshackle,
the respectable, get them out of the ten district, then
(22:01):
he becomes a hot name again and a good gig
will find him with a great escape route, which is
out of Virginia Tech. Everyone will be happy until he leaves,
and then the people of Virginia Tech will be upset.
And the best laid plans of mice and men. This
was supposed to be Michael Vick's job, remember, except Michael
Vick's done a terrible job in his coaching debut.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
But the idea was that vic would go.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Down coach at the lower level for a couple of
years and they end up at Virginia Tech. He could
still end up in Virginia Tech if he figures out
how to coach Michael Vick, because Jane Franklin, if he's
any good, will not be at Virginia Tech very long.
And if he sucks, he won't be at Virginia Tech
very long because they'll get rid of him. It is
the Ben Maller Show. If you'd like to be part

Speaker 1 (26:04):
I'm gonna go jail.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
You're gonna go jail, all right, so you're going option
D well cool? We Uh, you may.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Be right because I called his Obama phone.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Weed Man's got a government provided phone, the Obama phone,
and he the phone went, it didn't ring it. It
said this number is not available, which is usual. That
that means that either you're right, yeah, yeah, like he's
probably he's probably in jail. And we we had our
we used to have our guy in the Bay Area
(26:37):
who passed away, who used to check the jail records
to find weed Man in jail.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
But he's not the one who did that.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Yeah, he would look for he would look for the
raider A's Tom Brady roast fan. Yeah, but he's not
around any more unfortunately, so we don't know. But yeah,
he passed away at the end of last year, so
who knows what's going on with him. I don't know,
but hopefully he's okay. I do have Lisa's contact information,
believe it or not. She's emailed the show before or
(27:07):
email me about about stuff, so I can contact Lisa
who's on Long Island and see if I can find out.
But he's not here right now, so we'll go on
with the regular show. I know, Blind Scott, you're very
disappointed that we don't have weed Man. You had a
question for him.
Speaker 6 (27:18):
I know, I know weed Man in IRL. We're actually friends.
I don't know, like he has different numbers, but I
have thought voicemails deepen up until like a month ago
from him. One time Ed and Christina rented a car
in Portland, Maine. Remember they went to see him, and
they thought they could leave the car down there, and
then they drove all the way back up here.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Yeah, they had to drive all the way back because
if they had left the car in Miami, they would
it would cost like five thousand dollars or something to
leave the car shipped or just lead to leave it there.
Speaker 6 (27:46):
Yea, yeah, so they the Tiny Tim. He made three
appearances on Howard Stern in nineteen nine.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
I was I was actually telling Lorena and Coop about
some of the legendary Tiny Tim appearances back before whence
was good, back in the day. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (28:02):
Yeah, So I'd like to get on radio shows like that,
but they won't let me go into the studio. So
I have bits and stuff like that, and I'm trying
really high to emulate that type of radio culture. And
it's hard nowadays, but I do know, like some of
the big people like it.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
I radio.
Speaker 6 (28:18):
They do do a lot of shows like that still,
but it's just hard because culture is changing so fast
right now. But Tiny Tim was ahead of the time
and culture. You could probably I mean, you don't really
it would be. The good part about Tiny Tim is
he was an alcoholic, so it was really entertaining because
he drank when he was on the air.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
You know, yeah, well, he's just probably a bunch of
stuff other than alcohol. Weird Al Yankovic vibes like looking
at weird Out.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
He was small though, he wore woman's clothes.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
And you know a lot about it's okay, and then.
Speaker 6 (28:57):
Lenny Kravitz's daughter is like really famous. Now, what would
your wife check to ask you a question? What would
you wife say if you just started interviewing all these
fans models on the fifth hour?
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Like how long?
Speaker 1 (29:09):
That's a good question.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
I mean, I guess i'd find out if she's listening.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
I don't. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
I'm not attracted to women.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Yeah, well those I might be, but yeah, anyway, who knows? Anyway,
all right, very nice, I thank you, Scott. Hey, one
more thing never goes well.
Speaker 6 (29:24):
You know that your vacation time you haven't taken much
to have you take him to take a week before.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
I have a job, I like, I will. What were
you worried about me taking time off?
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Are you concerned?
Speaker 7 (29:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (29:36):
Yeah, could cruise the routine your.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Least, cruise up your schedule.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Okay, I actually will be working on Thanksgiving. I believe
I was asked by the boss about that. I don't.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
I will not.
Speaker 6 (29:50):
That's great.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
I don't see any reason not to work on Thanksgiving.
Four football games on Thanksgiving Day after thanks even the
football game.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
So I'm so excited.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
The yeah I heard there's probably a wicked marathon on
Thanksgiving one.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
I might watch that at night, you know.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Top it off, I.
Speaker 6 (30:07):
Heard Kevin Harland talking to Ross Tucker and they were
separating for like three weeks. That's his partner. But Kevin
Harland was making jokes. He was like making like he's
like this is for American Airlines and he was like
talking about his personal experience. He was being a little
goofy tonight. But where's he working for the next three weeks?
Like if they're not going to be together, you know,
And I don't.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
I don't know their schedule, but thank you. I'm gud
you're concerned. There's blind Scott there, amazing phone call. Let's
say hello to helmmt Man, the superhero helmet Man to
the rescue.

Lions quarterback Jared Goff.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
We'll have Mallard of the third degree coming up. Lion's
quarterback Jared Goff seven for twenty five passing in the
second half on Sunday night. The twenty eight percent on
completions the lowest in the second half for a player
with twenty plus attempts since blank again.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Jared Goff was seven of twenty five.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
He had eighteen incompletions in the second half of the
Sunday night game in Philly. The Lions quarterback was at
twenty eight percent on completions, the lowest that is the
lowest in the second half for a player with twenty
plus attempts since blank. That's the insta tribua, the answer
and Mallard of the third degree.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
We'll get to it. We'll do it next.

other nonsense. Support the circus that digital world. The tent
does not close. Back to it all right time Now
(36:42):
for the insta trivia. Then we'll get to mallor to
the third degree. But here's the insta trivia before we
go there, And here's the question of the hour. So
Lions quarterback Jared Goff was just seven for twenty five
in the second half against Philly on Sunday Night. That
twenty eight percent completion rate on the pass is lowest
(37:04):
in the second half for a player with twenty plus
attempts since blank.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
That is the question. What is the answer?
Speaker 2 (37:12):
Rob the goat Man going with Freddie Mercury is his answer?
Andy and Lionel Lake's going with Christian Ponder. Why would
you even ponder passing? King Rory, says Grandpa Simpson. Wolfgang
Puck from Shane in Des Moines. Sir scratch Off guest
by Malard Propyo. Those are good image of Sir scratch Off. Well,
he enjoys a good burger. Who else do we have?
(37:33):
David Ortiz, who is fifty today from the Late Night
Drug Tester, Tiny Tim Tebow from Nurse Jockey, Just Josh
going with Billy Blanks is his answer, Well, we hope not.
Who else do we have? Let's see page down. Cody
Carlson guests by Paully dee Eke is going with Jeff
(37:54):
George as his answer. Rodney Pete guest by Dante Tony
Romo from Johnny Q. Who else do we have? Page
NW Deeter Brock guest by Ryan Ron in San Diego,
Rich Gannon from Larry D. What say you, Lorena? It
is not George Bland. I guess by a via the right.
Speaker 4 (38:13):
I've gotta go with my Dallas Cowboy quarterback Troy Aikman.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
You saw him in Wicked. No, that is incorrect. The
correct the answer would be Brian Hoyer way back a
decade ago versus the Dolphins in twenty fifteen.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
Brian Hoyer. Here we go, Here we go, Here we go,
Here we go, Here we go, Here we go, down.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
To the third degree. This is one big event.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
Gets grilled cool it.
Speaker 4 (38:38):
Bryce Young has had an up and down career so
far in an up and down season multiple times this
year he seems close to losing his job, but on
Sunday he beat Cam Newton Panthers single game passing record.
Does this game prove that the jury is still out
on Young?
Speaker 2 (38:52):
No? Because he'll have a three hundred or four hundred
yard passing game. Then he'll come back and throw for
one hundred and fifty yards and two interceptions or anception
here and a fumble there, and he's I believe he's
been under two hundred yards in every game other than
two this year where he's had breakout games.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
That is not something you can build a football team around.
He's not.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
Every time I watch him, he sucks. I didn't see
much of the game against Atlanta. Look good, fine now
that the jury is still out.
Speaker 4 (39:20):
Next, Miles Garrett is a generational talent on a really
bad team. He got four more sacks on Sunday against
the Ravens to get to fifteen on the season. Do
you think he breaks straighthand and TJ. Watt's record.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
Well, the records really not straight hands because of what happened.
Now here's what I'd like to see happen. I want
to see history repeat itself.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
Coop. The Brown's final game of.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
The season is against the Cincinnati Bengals. I would like
to see Joe Flacco take a dive if he's playing
there and allow allow the record.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
But no, I'm gonna I'm gonna go. No, Miles Garrett.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
There'll be some kind of injury.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
He'll miss out next.
Speaker 4 (39:55):
Lebron James is close to returning to the Lakers, and
so far the team has been pretty good without him.
Do you think Lebron's return will help or hurt the team?
Speaker 2 (40:04):
They'll inevitably lose a game they're supposed to win with Lebron.
Lebron won't play well and then it'll be killed Lebron.
That'll be here, that goes.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
So then let it. Lebron came back, Yo, Lebron, it
was so good without Lebron.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
What are they doing? Oh god, that's how that's gonna
go by there? It is malary third degree?
Speaker 1 (40:21):
How did we do? He passes that as they went
played on the barn. I won the game. That's right.
Good out the milkman Mike in Colorado.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
I won the game.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
I want it for him

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
