Speaker 2 (00:21):
It's live on tape here in hour number two of
the original recipe radio show. What intrigues you the most
about Viking quarterback Max Brosmer being compared to brock perty
even though he played a game yet Colts quarterback Daniel
Jones is facing skepticism once again? Is the elevator going
up or is the elevator going down?
Speaker 1 (00:43):
And what stands out?
Speaker 2 (00:44):

Motor City Kitties. We'll discuss that, and who knows what else.
It's all yours. It's absolutely free. It is our number two.
A purple fog Welcome in the beginning of another hour
(01:11):
of the Ben Malor Show. We are in the air
eywhere within earshot, Otherwise you can't hear us.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Who cares?
Speaker 2 (01:21):
We are your cheesy audio partner even on holidays here
coast to coast, border the border and beyond on the
vast and candidly powerful microphones of FSR, em monating live

Hot Takes, all night long from the world famous Fox
(01:44):
Sports Radio Studios, as approved by none other then mister
Irrigation deep in the heart of Texas. He approves that
message is he always always does apps appsolute all right.
This portion of the Ben Malor Show on Fox made
possible in part by our friends at tire Iraq. For
(02:07):
over forty years, Tyraq has been helping customers 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, which Greg, the
real estate mogul in Baltimore likes a lot tire rac
dot com the way tire buying should be.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
So several people have pointed out that there was a
mistake with the who am I game? Heads will roll,
Heads will absolutely roll on that.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
We'll clean that up and post that bombshell, We'll clean
that up in post. So I guess we can use
the question that we were going to use, and then
we switched it up at the last minute. We can
use that this hour, so we will pay off the
Stafford question. We gave you a different question for reasons.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
I don't know why. There's clearly a glitch in the
matrix or something like that. But our lead this hour,
play the hit, small man, play the hits.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Our lead this hour from the Twin Cities, where the
juicy Lucies are good, the sports are not. The ongoing
quarterback drama O rama with econ Roseville, Minnesota's Vikings, amid
the likelihood that Minnesota quarterback J. J.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
McCarthy will be sitting on his took us.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Not playing this weekend, we'll miss the game at Seattle.
While in the concussion protocol, the two of the top
veterans on the Vikings there said that they fully support
their quarterback. They're in battled quarterback JJ McCarthy and his
(03:35):
long term, long term outlook in the NFL. We saw
this or not you heard about it?
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Maybe not? No, Steven Meanballs, Steven Meetball's heard about it. So.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Wide receiver Justin Jefferson and running back Aaron Jones both
acknowledged that McCarthy has clearly been bad, bad, bad, bad
bad bad to the bone, bad to the bone the
six games he's played, Jefferson described McCarthy's debut as tough.
(04:09):
That's kind, that's kind toughest kind a predicted improvement.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
It can't get much worse. You get much worse, you're
selling insurance. Now.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Rookie Max Brosmer took all the first team snaps and
is expected to start on Sunday unless there's some kind
of eleventh hour.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Miracle here with JJ McCarthy.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
In McCarthy's six starts this season, the Vikings have won
two of them, they've lost four, and Justin Jefferson has
averaged a poultry fifty three receiving yards in those games. Now,
that sounds bad. That sounds bad. How bad is it?
That's forty three percent worse than his career average. He
(04:50):
is a forty percent worst ballplayer with JJ McCarthy.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Than all these other quarterbacks he's played with. That's not good.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
So the NFL insider crowd is now sounding the alarm
bells that they're very excited about McCarthy's backup, and they're
pessimistic about JJ McCarthy in his future, and they're now
selling the rookie undrafted Max Brosmer as a player to
(05:18):
keep an eye on there, comparing him to brock Purty.
All right, that is a good jumping off point. So
let us discuss the question what intrigues you the most
about Viking quarterback Max Brosmer being compared to brock Purty.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
All right, what intrigues you the most?
Speaker 2 (05:47):
So I've got workshop Otis and Lion King, and we
will combine all of these things together and try not
to laugh our way through the ridiculousness of the sporting world,
the industrial complex of sports.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
What a travesty of justice? All right? So number W.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
So the NFL content machine is always king. The content
machine never waivers. It does not waiver at all. And
it's revving up like a Minnesota snowblower in mid January.
You cannot let it breathe. You cannot wait to see. Oh,
I don't know, JJ McCarthy's I guess he's on the
(06:35):
spectrum of Bustville, right.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
You know, just yeah, he's not on the spectrum.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
He's actually renting, and he's thinking about buying a place
in Busville. But he's definitely he's renting a place in Busville.
JJ McCarthy at this particular point, but already firing up
the replacement generator. It's called myth making one oh one,
making one oh one. They drag a new kid on
the block, and they take that new kid on the block.
(07:05):
They put him in the Sorcerer's workshop, and then they sprinkle,
just like that, they sprinkle those sprinkles here sprinklear, sprinkle
some pretty pixie dust on top of him, and poof,
a legend is born.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Someone named Max Brosmer.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Six years this guy spent in college football, played at
New Hampshire. I didn't even know they had a team
at New Hampshire and also was at Minnesota. He coming
out of high school with the high school in Georgia
had Ivy League offers out of high school.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
And so I went back and I.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Was like, I don't even remember reading the draft guide
for this guy.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
And I normally spent a lot of time reading those things.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
It's pretty amusing because it's creative writing, you know, the
fiction non fiction.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Well, I think you know which one those draft guides are.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
So I went back and I looked through some of
the guides that I have online. I was reading the
Max Brosmer scouting report, and he said, well, he's he's
basically a pocket passer with a master's degree, and it's
like good for him. The brock Purty comparisons, like why
because because he's not JJ McCarthy, right, anybody but McCarthy.
(08:20):
That's the analysis there. So they're inflating. They're inflating the tires.
They're inflating the tires before we even see if the
engine turns on for this guy and brock Purty, lately
he's looked more like broke Purdy, although he's certainly wealthy.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
His play is broken.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
It is, and so what are we even comparing here?
This is content manufacturing, is what it is.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
You don't wait for results. You don't wait for result.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
You airbrushed the narrative before the guy's even thrown his
twentieth NFL pass. You just airbrushed the narrative. And who knows.
I don't know anything about the guy. I saw some highlights,
big deal, Who cares. Everyone looks good in highlights. Let's
see if the kid can read a defense. Let's see
if the kid doesn't have pocket panic.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Let's see if he knows what he's doing here.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
I'm not ready to erect a statue outside of the
Viking Stadium there in downtown Minneapolis.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Right across the street from the hospital where the crazy
people are.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
The NFL never waits, right, the next guy is always
the guy. I've learned that the next guy is always
the guy. I will believe the hype when he passes
the eye test, not the PR test. He's already passed
the PR test. This guy, Max Brosmer, has already passed
the PR test. We'll see about the actual eye test.
And so I am like the state of Missouri. I'm
(09:43):
gonna show me state of mind. Meanwhile, speaking of show
me state of mind, we go now to Indianapolis, where
the Colts have hit a bit of a rough patch and.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Some finger pointing. It's starting. Uh oh, yeah, it's starting.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
It's starting the Daniel Jones story in Indianapolis. The question
for the class is this Colts quarterback Daniel Jones facing
skepticism once again? Once again the skeptics are out for
Daniel Jones. Is the Daniel Jones elevator going up?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Or is the Daniel Jones elevator going down? So is
he going up or going down?
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Well, the Daniel Jones elevator based on a minutes long
Mallard deliberation is not going up, it is not going down.
It is stuck on the thirteenth floor. The lights are flickering,
the buttons are jammed, and Daniel Jones is pounding that
door open, door open, and he's hitting the button. Nothing's happening,
(10:46):
nothing's happening. And he's trying to get a hold of
the Otis Elevator repairman. The Otis Elevator repairman is warming
up his truck. Because regression versus progression, it's a tale
as old. This time it is not a philosophical debate,
regression versus progression. It is what the cults are living
(11:08):
right now in the moment. That's what's going on with Indianapolis.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
They thought they had Indiana Jones, a fearless explorer of defenses,
slicing through secondaries, cracking the whip, stealing winds. However, lately
it's like burping a baby. Yeah, he's morphing back into
Danny Dimes, wandering through the Temple of Doom.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Stepping on every booby trap imaginable. Two losses in the
last three. The schedule is sharpening its knives now. He
certainly gagged in the fourth quarter and overtime at Arrowhead
coughed up possessions like a clearance sale in Pittsburgh, and
suddenly the Blitz answers that he had earlier, Well, let's
(12:00):
just say they're gone. Poof, they vanished, Abra kadabra Houdini.
Like if you look back, not to give too many numbers,
because it's Thanksgiving and it's.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Late at night, early in the morning, and you're likely
engrossed in something else.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
But if you go from week one through week eight,
Daniel Jones was the Blitz whisper.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
He owned the Blitz. He was the old of.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
The Blitz, second in the entire NFL, second best QBR
in the NFL when defenses sent the heat. However, since
week eight, he currently ranks twenty second with pitiful stats
against the Blitz.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
So that's not just.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
The electric slide that that's more than that's a skid mark,
is what that is?
Speaker 1 (12:50):
The Colts who.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Were seven and one and now they're showing signs of
being a tinder box. And what normally happens when you
are looking like a tinderbox one spark.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
And then ca boom.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Daniel Jones is now going to have to tiptoe through
a minefield to survive this stretch of games upcoming.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
They got a couple games still to play.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
In the division with the number one defense in the NFL,
the Houston Texans, So that up ahead as well Jacksonville,
which doesn't seem like a good team, but they are
mathematically a good team also on the schedule. And so
again Daniel Jones is gonna have to tiptoe around right now.
That elevator not going up. It's rattling, it's groaning a
(13:42):
little bit. Things are malfunctioning, and if you don't get
this fixed, it's gonna go down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down,
down down down down.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
All right, finnal point, we go to Detroit.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
We don't often talk about offensive lineman because we try
to get people to listen to the show. However, four
time Pro Bowl center Frank rat is coming out of retirement.
He's coming out of retirement and returning to the Detroit Lions.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
He has decided to unretire.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Yes, you return for the home stretch of the NFL
season because he quote loves the game that according to
multiple reports, now the deadline was on Wednesday. The deadline
was on Wednesday. That was the deadline for Ragnow to
come out of retirement be eligible to play this season,
(14:32):
and he has done that. Ragnow retired in June of
this year, and he said to prioritize his health.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
He claimed at the time that he just had nothing left.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
So the question what stands out about Lions center Frank
Ragnow's unretirement to rejoin the Lions.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
So this one is like, it's like showing up to your.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Own retirement barbecue five months later with a fresh plate
and asking, hey, hey, boys, potato salad left? I like, what, Oh, yeah, yeah,
there's no there's no potato salt.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Who likes potato salad anyway? Nobody likes potato salad?
Speaker 2 (15:11):
All right, now, Frank Ragnow slammed the door shut back
in chew And I went back and I looked through
my notes, and at the time the lineman talked about
his health, his body had broken down. He wanted to
put his family first. His family was a priority. And
now he's kicking it back open like the NFL Black
Friday doorbusters time. And so I guess he doesn't care
(15:34):
about his family anymore. He doesn't care about his health.
Is that what we're supposed to His body's no longer
breaking down all that stuff, the curtain call over, the
spotlight had dimmed, the orchestra packed up the instruments, and
now he's walked back to stage like wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
what more performance? One more performance. It's the sports version
(15:57):
of a boomerang. You throw it and it smacks you
right back in the helmet and look, listen. We can
respect the love of the game, the love of football,
but you know what this feels like. This feels like
the lion king seek will nobody asks for. It's like
ragnow retired, like Simba walking off into the sunset. Now
(16:20):
he's crawling back like scar with a stinger guitar, solo
and on. Retirement is a dangerous, dangerous business. It's like
trying to reheat last night's steak.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
In the microwave. Now, technically you are able to reheat
last night's steak in the microwave.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
If you enjoy eating a rubbery dish, you're going to
get that never taste the same, But you can't do it.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Now.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Bring this up also because there are reports whispers the
Naked City Never sleeps that Aaron Donald of the La
Rams also currently contemplating a return for the home stretches.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
The Rams are now the favorite to get to a
super Bowl in.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
The NFC, and so because of that and Stafford's having
an MVP season, you put all that together, there's a
lot of noise out there that Ram's greatest defensive player
in franchise history, at least in the modern era, is
going to come out of retirement and join the Rams.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
It would be Aaron Donald. So we'll see if that
happens or not.
Speaker 2 (17:21):

There go, thank you JJ from written, the great JJ.
There he says, you know, JJ McCarthy is trash. The
Seahawks defense should beat them down. Well, McCarthy's not playing.
It doesn't look like it. The Late Night Drug tester
says the Vikings dodged a bullet by not having Danny
Dimes this season.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Now they can have tryouts the rest of.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
The season to see if they can find a hidden
gem quarterback before the draft. Let's go to Ernesto in
the Bay, the great forty nine er.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Do I say, apologist? I don't know, hello Ernesto? What's
going on?
Speaker 5 (22:14):
Ernest though, Big Ben Mallard, Happy Thanksgiving to you and
the crew.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Yes, back at your Ernesto, the man that paid off
that bet we made with full Aaron Donald gear from
head to toe and.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Those beautiful ram shoes that you wore in Vegas. That
was awesome.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
That's right about, man of my word. Speaking to Jay
Dan written, he was there that day in Seattle when
the Niners and Seahawks played and we won that game.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Yeah, that's a bit five five years, six years, Oh
my god, where's the time going?
Speaker 6 (22:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Crazy? Yeah not so.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
Then I did some travel and I went to Italy,
and then I came back and I went to Niner
games in Houston and Arizona. Houston was kind of rough,
but Arizona was good.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
So that's cool.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Yeah, you're part of that forty nine or traveling contingent.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
You've been all over the The Niners did not play
in Italy.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
You just went there to enjoy you know what they
call Italian food in Italy, they just call it food.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
That's it. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
What I really want to know is when is the
meet and greet in Dayton, Ohio to meet Dick.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Well, we had a venue. I'll tell you what happened Onnesto.
So we had a place. I had somebody that was
emailing me that we were working on getting a venue,
and I thought we had something nailed down before football season,
and then it fell apart. And so now we've decided
that we love our friends in Ohio, but we don't
want to go during the winter. So we're planning on
going in the spring of twenty twenty six, once the
(23:45):
weather gets better.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
We'll go hang out and have a.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Big shin dig there and we'll probably do one in
La Here Ernesto, you know, at some point, and we'll
do possibly one in Boston Mike the Leprechaun and Mike
in New Hampshire. I talk about having a Mallord meet
and greet in Boston and also out in Worcester.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
So we'll see. We'll see about that, but I guess.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
We got some things going on for sure, and we
got to go to the Bay Area tour nest right
in your backyard.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
There, and yeah, I'm there, Yeah, yeah, all right.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
That's right down the street. So we'll make it happen.
And and our guy in Oakland, Alam de Loup.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
He's he's got his bar over there, he says, So
we can go to You'll be my muscle, by the way,
or nest to we go to Oakland, you'll be my muscle. Okay,
you'll protect me if I go to Oakland.
Speaker 6 (24:28):
I got your bet, I got you.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
All right, it looks like the Rams and Niners might
be meeting again in the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
I bet hey, hey, I was at that NFC championship
game when they played a couple of years back and
the Rams beat the Niners.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
And there was like it was like the forty nine
er home game and all that.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
But I'm there for it. Why not, let's bring it
on right now, let's have it. Let's make that the
NFC title game. And unfortunately, unfortunately, Garoppolo is playing for
the Rams, so he can't Yeah, he can't help help
the Rams out unless he's placed all.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Right, all right, thank you? Or Nesta Happy Thanksgiving Man,
the great.
Speaker 6 (25:04):
Man.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
He's been great. He's traveled around.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
The two guys that have traveled more than anybody, they're
super fans of the show.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Uh, well, there's there's three.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Actually I said two, but there's three. There's a Nesto
in the Bay who's traveled all over the place. He
was at the Vancouver meet and greet that we did,
which was which was so much fun. Uh, that was
a little is that the last one? I was the
Vegas Live. I don't even know it's Vegas or Vancouver.
He Ernesto flew up to Vancouver for that. And then JT.
The Wingman has been great. He's gone to a bunch
(25:34):
of these things. And Spacoli has also been really good
about traveling and going to see the show when we
go do appearances at different places. So, uh, those guys
would beat the very time. And there's there's others. There's
others that I I'm sure I'm forgetting that will remind
me what about me? And then they'll get upset And
let's go to Jeff in Denver.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Who's next.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
It is the Ben Mather Show doing it, but do
it live on Thanksgiving? Let's going on Jeff in the
Mile High City.
Speaker 6 (26:03):
Hey, man, I'd like to dis congratulate you won actually
working on the holiday instead of a pre recorded show.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Well, first of all, I don't ever record the show.
That's not what we do. It's lot.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Radio is supposed to be live. It shouldn't be recorded.
So that's number one.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Number two, I'm not digging.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Ditches that said, though, Jeff, Okay, did you see what
Aaron Andrews had to say here?
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Aaron Andrews, this is great. So she's like she's on
some podcasters.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
I don't know, I mean, nobody listens to these things,
and she said, Aaron Andrews said, she wants everybody to
know that there are some important things to take into
account before going in to sports media. And she then
proceeded to complain about the fact that she has to
work on holidays and that she misses a lot of
major life events like weddings and things like that.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
And she didn't get married until she was in her forties.
She complained about her job.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Now, now, Jeff, you want to take a guess how
many days Aaron Andrews works per year.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Take take a guess ballpark figure. What do you think
how many days of a year does Aaron Andrews work.
Speaker 6 (27:12):
I'm not familiar with who that person is, but I
would say.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
That's even better. That's even that's even better.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
That's a I guess you don't watch the NFL games
on Fox, but Aaron Andrews has been a sideline reporter
on Fox. And I think that is a very difficult
job to go up to the star of the game
and say, how does it feel?
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Man?
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Is that a hard job? Very difficult. It's right up
there with digging a trench. It's the same skill set.
It's going up to the star quarterback and threw four
touchdowns and say, man, how does it feel. That's like
being a roofer and lifting shingles up to the roof.
It's very similar.
Speaker 7 (27:48):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
And in fact, I was actually talking to somebody.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Before the show and I was like, you know, Aaron
Andrews asking the star player what it's like, or halftime
saying what do you tell your team? And halftime coach,
very similar to being an iron worker and handling heavy beams.
The skill set is the same. Or if you're a
logger cutting down trees, you could also you can say
that's similar to what Aaron Andrews is doing, and she's compensated,
and she does a great job. She makes three million
(28:13):
dollars a year. She works roughly twenty days a year.
There's Fox does about twenty twenty two NFL games, one
exhibition game. They do this seventeen regular season games and
or eighteen I guess, because there's you know, they don't
get the bye week. So this is like nineteen regular
nineteen games there and maybe a couple playoff games.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
So it gets you right around twenty.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
She makes roughly one hundred and fifty thousand dollars per game,
so I think she's doing.
Speaker 6 (28:37):
Okay, what do I sign Where do I sign up
for that job? Well?
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Contact Contact corporate and look at your send your resume
cover letter, and yeah, it's it's kind of like drilling
for oil.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Similar.
Speaker 6 (28:53):
So I initially called up to chime in on Rodney Rogers.
He mentioned Rodney Rodgers before, and he was he was
good with the Nuggets, as I'm a Nuggets fan, you know,
I'm in Denver. And he actually scored nine points in
less than twenty seconds in a game in ninety four
against Utah. Do you remember that?
Speaker 1 (29:14):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
I saw somebody had mentioned that in one of the
stories they read one of the eulogies about Rodney Rogers.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
But I was with him.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
He was on the cleek cash he traded from the
clip from the Nuggets of the Clippers in the Antonio
mcdice trade.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
If you remember that trade for the Nuggets.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
But yeah, he was a really nice, nice guy, really mellow,
kind of down to earth guy and all that stuff,
and that sucks many.
Speaker 6 (29:39):
Yeah, they stole the ball. They were down by like twelve.
They stole the ball, kicked it out, hit it three,
stole the ball, kicked it out, hit it three, stole
the ball again, kicked it out hit a three, and
they ended up losing the game by like two points
against Utah. It was just incredible to see. I mean,
you're down by twelve with twenty some seconds left and
(30:00):
they basically could have won the game. That was just an.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Amazing It's a better store if they won the game.
It's a better store if they won the game. Right,
you'd agree with that, it's not as good as story
because they didn't win the game and they won the game.
So you're back now because it's basketball season, is that right?
You've recovered from the offseason and all that. You're back now, Jeff,
to give nugget propaganda.
Speaker 6 (30:22):
Oh yeah, we're the best team in the league other
than OKC, which I don't understand. I really don't understand
that there's some kind of aura where they can play
foul defense or everything they do is basically a foul
and they're getting away with it. I mean, the SGA
just put a stiff arm, straight armed against a guy,
(30:44):
pushes him away to shoot a shot, and it's not
a foul. How is that not a foul? Have you
seen that?
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Jeff? All right time out here.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
I know that the NBA has a history of shenanigans,
shall we say, but why would they rig it for
Oklahoma City like that?
Speaker 1 (31:03):
I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
I agree, well because I don't. It makes no sense
they would help. It's bad for the sport, Kyrie and
these guys in Okay. So you are gonna bet upset
with me, but it's not It's not great when your
top team, your your team that is just dominating, is
in Oklahoma City. It's not good for the sport, but
it's good for Oklahoma City. But for the for the sports.
Speaker 6 (31:24):
I agree, I completely agree. I don't understand why Oklahoma
City being in the market they are is getting the
favoritism there. But have you seen how SGA plays?
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Yes, I know how he played.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
He was with the Clippers and all that back in
the day. And uh, speaking of that, I can I
can I take a pot shot at Kawhi Leonard? Will
you allow me to take a pot shout of Kahi Leonard?
Will you let me do that?
Speaker 1 (31:47):
All right? So, Kawhi Leonard, the Clippers are terrible this year.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
They suck Kawisman out and he he called out the Clippers.
Kawhi Leonard said, the Clippers need to play with better talent.
Kawhi Leonard is the guy that chose to get rid
of shape jogis Alexander.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
It was his.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
The reason the Clippers traded him is because Kawhi Leonard said,
I'm not going to the Clippers unless you get me
Paul George. And so the Clippers that the Oklahoma state said, well,
we want the SGA and the Well in order to
get Kawhi because he was the one. So, Kawhi, maybe
if you were a better judge of talent, numb nuts,
the Clippers would have better talent.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
You dummy, I'm sorry, go ahead, Jeff, I apologize. Is
that on the air? Did I say that on the air?
No one's listening. It's Thanksgiving? Who cares.
Speaker 6 (32:38):
I'm just blown away by the amount of like foul
defense that they play and it's allowed.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
All right, I got your repeating yourself. I'm gonna move on,
thank you. All right?
Speaker 2 (32:48):
There he goes our friend Jeff and Denver Nugget propagandist
checking in. Let's say hello now to Poppy in San
Diego picking with Poppy. Uh, he's got he's got a
customer right now. We're listening to live coverage. This is uh,
this is Poppy.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
He's working uber in San Diego. You know he's yeah, he's.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Put he's asking where Chick fil A is right there.
So we'll put him on hold and we'll check. But
he has no idea he's on the air. But he
called into the show to plausibly be on the air.
He called him the show to plausibly be on the air.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
And it's the rod So.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
The undynamic duo that would be the aforementioned JJ McCarthy
who has when targeting Justin Jefferson.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
This is crazy.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
This is the this is the fun fact of the
hour is what this is. So JJ McCarthy has six
interceptions and a forty seven point four passer rating targeting
Justin Jefferson this season. Those are both the worst among
eighty two quarterbacks Z duos with forty or more targets
(34:04):
this season. That is the worst.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Combo dish in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
JJ McCarthy and Justin Jefferson six interceptions forty seven point
four passer rating targeting Justin Jefferson. Both of those the
worst among eighty two quarterback receiver duos with forty or
more targets. I didn't play in the NFL, but that sucks.
That is bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad bad, all right.
(34:30):
I see Viva los VICKI checked in Big rig Rob
also checking East has been. I'm on the meet and
greet in Dayton's Spring of twenty twenty six. I'm also
in on the LA one two, and I gotta draw
the line on Boston. I cannot hang out with the leprechauns.
They're creepy, fair enough, I understand, Well you're locking in
(34:52):
on that.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
And what else did we have? See? Can't can't read
that one? All right? Well we'll jump away from that.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
We have I was gonna I did this last hour,
and then I changed it up. I switched the question
up after I teased it, which is not.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
A good job.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
Who goofed, I've got to know. So I ended up
doing the I did the the Jackson Smith in Jigba
question when I was supposed to do the Matthew Stafford.
So so I'm going to do the Matthew Stafford one
and I'm actually gonna give the right answer. So that's
the plan. Anyway, that's the plan. So here's the Insta trivia.
(35:29):
And it sounds nothing like the who am I game
last Hour, which we changed at the last minute.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
But here's the Insta trivia.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford can become the fourth player all
time with multiple touchdown passes and no interceptions in six
consecutive games. He would join Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers and Blank. That,
I promise you is the Insta Trivia. We'll give you
the answer. We'll get to that, and we have Mallard
to the third degree. Oh my god, it's Mallard to
the third degree. We'll get to that and we will

Joe the ghost Hunter says the Dayton, Ohio meet and greet,
Let's go. I'll be there, Ah cool, Joe the ghost
Unter is going to be there. And let's see the
correct answer again. Matthew Stafford can become the fourth player
all time with multiple touchdown passes no in receptions. They
play Carolina the Rams do this weekend in six consecutive games.
He would joined Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, and Blank. The
(39:29):
other name the answer Dandy Don Meredith for the Cowboy Eyes.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
Back in the mid nineteen sixties.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
Don Meredith turn out the last how about.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
That to the third degree. This is one big bet
gets grilled all right.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
Right to where we go. It's maler to the third
degree with Project pe. All right, let's get started.
Speaker 7 (39:54):
So the Steelers have lost four out of their last
six games and have fallen out of a playoff spot.
Former All Pro Steelers linebacker James Harrison recently called the
defense undisciplined and poorly coached and the schemes quote trash Ben,
do you think DC, Terrell Austin or even Mike Tomlin
could be on the hot seat.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
Well, I'm not gonna go Mike Tomlin.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
I've done monologue since before you were born about Tomlin
losing his job, and it doesn't matter how bad it gets,
they never give rid to Tomlin. The Steelers have been
an environmental pollutant defensively, right, there's always, for most of
my life, been great, and they're like a Tomic waste.
Right now, I would say of those two, the defensive
coordinators in much more danger.
Speaker 1 (40:39):
Next.
Speaker 7 (40:39):
All right, Next, The Titans fell to one in ten,
but cam Ward may have had the best game of
his career. Has now gone three straight games without throwing
an interception. On Tuesday, Titans interim head coach Mike McCoy
said he sees Ward's work starting to pay off. Ben,
should Titan fans be encouraged by Ward's improvement?
Speaker 1 (40:57):
All right?
Speaker 2 (40:57):
So, but my response is always, well, did you expect
the interim coach to say, no, he's getting worse since
I took over, he's getting worse since.
Speaker 1 (41:07):
I mean, come on, listen, I have not seen it.
Maybe I'm missing it.
Speaker 2 (41:12):
I guess he's statistically he's middle of the pack now
and they need him to get a.
Speaker 1 (41:17):
Lot lot better because right now they're still ass Next.
Speaker 7 (41:20):
A video made the rounds online of you made a
Duke a Doka engaging with a Heckler after rockets to
feed the Suns and Phoenix earlier this week, Ben, if
you were an NBA coach, do you think you'd find
yourself engaging with Heckler's Yes.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
Yes, it's fun. Why not? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (41:35):
They carve you up, You carve them up like a turkey.
It's it's good for everybody.
Speaker 1 (41:40):
I like it.
Speaker 3 (41:40):
How do we do?
Speaker 1 (41:42):
I love it? I think
Ningo.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our Nameber two, providing you audio nourishment even on Thanksgiving.
We are looking out for your nutrition here on Thanksgiving,
and we start out our number two of the Ben
Maler Show, a regional recipe podcast with Benny Versus the
Penny on YouTube right now at Benny vs.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Penny. Check that out.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
It's live on tape here in hour number two of
the original recipe radio show. What intrigues you the most
about Viking quarterback Max Brosmer being compared to brock perty
even though he played a game yet Colts quarterback Daniel
Jones is facing skepticism once again? Is the elevator going
up or is the elevator going down?
Speaker 1 (00:43):
And what stands out?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Also about senner Frank Ragnow un retiring to rejoin the
Motor City Kitties. We'll discuss that, and who knows what else.
It's all yours. It's absolutely free. It is our number two.
A purple fog Welcome in the beginning of another hour
(01:11):
of the Ben Malor Show. We are in the air
eywhere within earshot, Otherwise you can't hear us.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Who cares?
Speaker 2 (01:21):
We are your cheesy audio partner even on holidays here
coast to coast, border the border and beyond on the
vast and candidly powerful microphones of FSR, em monating live
from the mashed as we do the mashed potatoes on
Hot Takes, all night long from the world famous Fox
(01:44):
Sports Radio Studios, as approved by none other then mister
Irrigation deep in the heart of Texas. He approves that

This portion of the Ben Malor Show on Fox made
possible in part by our friends at tire Iraq. For
(02:07):
over forty years, Tyraq has been helping customers 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, which Greg, the
real estate mogul in Baltimore likes a lot tire rac
dot com the way tire buying should be.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
So several people have pointed out that there was a
mistake with the who am I game? Heads will roll,
Heads will absolutely roll on that.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
We'll clean that up and post that bombshell, We'll clean
that up in post. So I guess we can use
the question that we were going to use, and then
we switched it up at the last minute. We can
use that this hour, so we will pay off the
Stafford question. We gave you a different question for reasons.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
I don't know why. There's clearly a glitch in the
matrix or something like that. But our lead this hour,
play the hit, small man, play the hits.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Our lead this hour from the Twin Cities, where the
juicy Lucies are good, the sports are not. The ongoing
quarterback drama O rama with econ Roseville, Minnesota's Vikings, amid
the likelihood that Minnesota quarterback J. J.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
McCarthy will be sitting on his took us.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Not playing this weekend, we'll miss the game at Seattle.
While in the concussion protocol, the two of the top
veterans on the Vikings there said that they fully support
their quarterback. They're in battled quarterback JJ McCarthy and his
(03:35):
long term, long term outlook in the NFL. We saw
this or not you heard about it?
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Maybe not? No, Steven Meanballs, Steven Meetball's heard about it. So.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Wide receiver Justin Jefferson and running back Aaron Jones both
acknowledged that McCarthy has clearly been bad, bad, bad, bad
bad bad to the bone, bad to the bone the
six games he's played, Jefferson described McCarthy's debut as tough.
(04:09):
That's kind, that's kind toughest kind a predicted improvement.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
It can't get much worse. You get much worse, you're
selling insurance. Now.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Rookie Max Brosmer took all the first team snaps and
is expected to start on Sunday unless there's some kind
of eleventh hour.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Miracle here with JJ McCarthy.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
In McCarthy's six starts this season, the Vikings have won
two of them, they've lost four, and Justin Jefferson has
averaged a poultry fifty three receiving yards in those games. Now,
that sounds bad. That sounds bad. How bad is it?
That's forty three percent worse than his career average. He
(04:50):
is a forty percent worst ballplayer with JJ McCarthy.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Than all these other quarterbacks he's played with. That's not good.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
So the NFL insider crowd is now sounding the alarm
bells that they're very excited about McCarthy's backup, and they're
pessimistic about JJ McCarthy in his future, and they're now
selling the rookie undrafted Max Brosmer as a player to
(05:18):
keep an eye on there, comparing him to brock Purty.
All right, that is a good jumping off point. So
let us discuss the question what intrigues you the most
about Viking quarterback Max Brosmer being compared to brock Purty.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
All right, what intrigues you the most?
Speaker 2 (05:47):
So I've got workshop Otis and Lion King, and we
will combine all of these things together and try not
to laugh our way through the ridiculousness of the sporting world,
the industrial complex of sports.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
What a travesty of justice? All right? So number W.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
So the NFL content machine is always king. The content
machine never waivers. It does not waiver at all. And
it's revving up like a Minnesota snowblower in mid January.
You cannot let it breathe. You cannot wait to see. Oh,
I don't know, JJ McCarthy's I guess he's on the
(06:35):
spectrum of Bustville, right.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
You know, just yeah, he's not on the spectrum.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
He's actually renting, and he's thinking about buying a place
in Busville. But he's definitely he's renting a place in Busville.
JJ McCarthy at this particular point, but already firing up
the replacement generator. It's called myth making one oh one,
making one oh one. They drag a new kid on
the block, and they take that new kid on the block.
(07:05):
They put him in the Sorcerer's workshop, and then they sprinkle,
just like that, they sprinkle those sprinkles here sprinklear, sprinkle
some pretty pixie dust on top of him, and poof,
a legend is born.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Someone named Max Brosmer.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Six years this guy spent in college football, played at
New Hampshire. I didn't even know they had a team
at New Hampshire and also was at Minnesota. He coming
out of high school with the high school in Georgia
had Ivy League offers out of high school.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
And so I went back and I.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Was like, I don't even remember reading the draft guide
for this guy.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
And I normally spent a lot of time reading those things.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
It's pretty amusing because it's creative writing, you know, the
fiction non fiction.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Well, I think you know which one those draft guides are.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
So I went back and I looked through some of
the guides that I have online. I was reading the
Max Brosmer scouting report, and he said, well, he's he's
basically a pocket passer with a master's degree, and it's
like good for him. The brock Purty comparisons, like why
because because he's not JJ McCarthy, right, anybody but McCarthy.
(08:20):
That's the analysis there. So they're inflating. They're inflating the tires.
They're inflating the tires before we even see if the
engine turns on for this guy and brock Purty, lately
he's looked more like broke Purdy, although he's certainly wealthy.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
His play is broken.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
It is, and so what are we even comparing here?
This is content manufacturing, is what it is.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
You don't wait for results. You don't wait for result.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
You airbrushed the narrative before the guy's even thrown his
twentieth NFL pass. You just airbrushed the narrative. And who knows.
I don't know anything about the guy. I saw some highlights,
big deal, Who cares. Everyone looks good in highlights. Let's
see if the kid can read a defense. Let's see
if the kid doesn't have pocket panic.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Let's see if he knows what he's doing here.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
I'm not ready to erect a statue outside of the
Viking Stadium there in downtown Minneapolis.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Right across the street from the hospital where the crazy
people are.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
The NFL never waits, right, the next guy is always
the guy. I've learned that the next guy is always
the guy. I will believe the hype when he passes
the eye test, not the PR test. He's already passed
the PR test. This guy, Max Brosmer, has already passed
the PR test. We'll see about the actual eye test.
And so I am like the state of Missouri. I'm
(09:43):
gonna show me state of mind. Meanwhile, speaking of show
me state of mind, we go now to Indianapolis, where
the Colts have hit a bit of a rough patch and.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Some finger pointing. It's starting. Uh oh, yeah, it's starting.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
It's starting the Daniel Jones story in Indianapolis. The question
for the class is this Colts quarterback Daniel Jones facing
skepticism once again? Once again the skeptics are out for
Daniel Jones. Is the Daniel Jones elevator going up?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Or is the Daniel Jones elevator going down? So is
he going up or going down?
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Well, the Daniel Jones elevator based on a minutes long
Mallard deliberation is not going up, it is not going down.
It is stuck on the thirteenth floor. The lights are flickering,
the buttons are jammed, and Daniel Jones is pounding that
door open, door open, and he's hitting the button. Nothing's happening,
(10:46):
nothing's happening. And he's trying to get a hold of
the Otis Elevator repairman. The Otis Elevator repairman is warming
up his truck. Because regression versus progression, it's a tale
as old. This time it is not a philosophical debate,
regression versus progression. It is what the cults are living
(11:08):
right now in the moment. That's what's going on with Indianapolis.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
They thought they had Indiana Jones, a fearless explorer of defenses,
slicing through secondaries, cracking the whip, stealing winds. However, lately
it's like burping a baby. Yeah, he's morphing back into
Danny Dimes, wandering through the Temple of Doom.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Stepping on every booby trap imaginable. Two losses in the
last three. The schedule is sharpening its knives now. He
certainly gagged in the fourth quarter and overtime at Arrowhead
coughed up possessions like a clearance sale in Pittsburgh, and
suddenly the Blitz answers that he had earlier, Well, let's
(12:00):
just say they're gone. Poof, they vanished, Abra kadabra Houdini.
Like if you look back, not to give too many numbers,
because it's Thanksgiving and it's.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Late at night, early in the morning, and you're likely
engrossed in something else.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
But if you go from week one through week eight,
Daniel Jones was the Blitz whisper.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
He owned the Blitz. He was the old of.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
The Blitz, second in the entire NFL, second best QBR
in the NFL when defenses sent the heat. However, since
week eight, he currently ranks twenty second with pitiful stats
against the Blitz.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
So that's not just.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
The electric slide that that's more than that's a skid mark,
is what that is?
Speaker 1 (12:50):
The Colts who.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Were seven and one and now they're showing signs of
being a tinder box. And what normally happens when you
are looking like a tinderbox one spark.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
And then ca boom.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Daniel Jones is now going to have to tiptoe through
a minefield to survive this stretch of games upcoming.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
They got a couple games still to play.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
In the division with the number one defense in the NFL,
the Houston Texans, So that up ahead as well Jacksonville,
which doesn't seem like a good team, but they are
mathematically a good team also on the schedule. And so
again Daniel Jones is gonna have to tiptoe around right now.
That elevator not going up. It's rattling, it's groaning a
(13:42):
little bit. Things are malfunctioning, and if you don't get
this fixed, it's gonna go down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down,
down down down down.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
All right, finnal point, we go to Detroit.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
We don't often talk about offensive lineman because we try
to get people to listen to the show. However, four
time Pro Bowl center Frank rat is coming out of retirement.
He's coming out of retirement and returning to the Detroit Lions.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
He has decided to unretire.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Yes, you return for the home stretch of the NFL
season because he quote loves the game that according to
multiple reports, now the deadline was on Wednesday. The deadline
was on Wednesday. That was the deadline for Ragnow to
come out of retirement be eligible to play this season,
(14:32):
and he has done that. Ragnow retired in June of
this year, and he said to prioritize his health.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
He claimed at the time that he just had nothing left.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
So the question what stands out about Lions center Frank
Ragnow's unretirement to rejoin the Lions.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
So this one is like, it's like showing up to your.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Own retirement barbecue five months later with a fresh plate
and asking, hey, hey, boys, potato salad left? I like, what, Oh, yeah, yeah,
there's no there's no potato salt.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Who likes potato salad anyway? Nobody likes potato salad?
Speaker 2 (15:11):
All right, now, Frank Ragnow slammed the door shut back
in chew And I went back and I looked through
my notes, and at the time the lineman talked about
his health, his body had broken down. He wanted to
put his family first. His family was a priority. And
now he's kicking it back open like the NFL Black
Friday doorbusters time. And so I guess he doesn't care
(15:34):
about his family anymore. He doesn't care about his health.
Is that what we're supposed to His body's no longer
breaking down all that stuff, the curtain call over, the
spotlight had dimmed, the orchestra packed up the instruments, and
now he's walked back to stage like wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
what more performance? One more performance. It's the sports version
(15:57):
of a boomerang. You throw it and it smacks you
right back in the helmet and look, listen. We can
respect the love of the game, the love of football,
but you know what this feels like. This feels like
the lion king seek will nobody asks for. It's like
ragnow retired, like Simba walking off into the sunset. Now
(16:20):
he's crawling back like scar with a stinger guitar, solo
and on. Retirement is a dangerous, dangerous business. It's like
trying to reheat last night's steak.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
In the microwave. Now, technically you are able to reheat
last night's steak in the microwave.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
If you enjoy eating a rubbery dish, you're going to
get that never taste the same, But you can't do it.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Now.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Bring this up also because there are reports whispers the
Naked City Never sleeps that Aaron Donald of the La
Rams also currently contemplating a return for the home stretches.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
The Rams are now the favorite to get to a
super Bowl in.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
The NFC, and so because of that and Stafford's having
an MVP season, you put all that together, there's a
lot of noise out there that Ram's greatest defensive player
in franchise history, at least in the modern era, is
going to come out of retirement and join the Rams.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
It would be Aaron Donald. So we'll see if that
happens or not.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
There go, thank you JJ from written, the great JJ.
There he says, you know, JJ McCarthy is trash. The
Seahawks defense should beat them down. Well, McCarthy's not playing.
It doesn't look like it. The Late Night Drug tester
says the Vikings dodged a bullet by not having Danny
Dimes this season.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Now they can have tryouts the rest of.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
The season to see if they can find a hidden
gem quarterback before the draft. Let's go to Ernesto in
the Bay, the great forty nine er.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Do I say, apologist? I don't know, hello Ernesto? What's
going on?
Speaker 5 (22:14):
Ernest though, Big Ben Mallard, Happy Thanksgiving to you and
the crew.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Yes, back at your Ernesto, the man that paid off
that bet we made with full Aaron Donald gear from
head to toe and.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Those beautiful ram shoes that you wore in Vegas. That
was awesome.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
That's right about, man of my word. Speaking to Jay
Dan written, he was there that day in Seattle when
the Niners and Seahawks played and we won that game.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Yeah, that's a bit five five years, six years, Oh
my god, where's the time going?
Speaker 6 (22:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Crazy? Yeah not so.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
Then I did some travel and I went to Italy,
and then I came back and I went to Niner
games in Houston and Arizona. Houston was kind of rough,
but Arizona was good.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
So that's cool.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Yeah, you're part of that forty nine or traveling contingent.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
You've been all over the The Niners did not play
in Italy.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
You just went there to enjoy you know what they
call Italian food in Italy, they just call it food.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
That's it. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
What I really want to know is when is the
meet and greet in Dayton, Ohio to meet Dick.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Well, we had a venue. I'll tell you what happened Onnesto.
So we had a place. I had somebody that was
emailing me that we were working on getting a venue,
and I thought we had something nailed down before football season,
and then it fell apart. And so now we've decided
that we love our friends in Ohio, but we don't
want to go during the winter. So we're planning on
going in the spring of twenty twenty six, once the
(23:45):
weather gets better.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
We'll go hang out and have a.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Big shin dig there and we'll probably do one in
La Here Ernesto, you know, at some point, and we'll
do possibly one in Boston Mike the Leprechaun and Mike
in New Hampshire. I talk about having a Mallord meet
and greet in Boston and also out in Worcester.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
So we'll see. We'll see about that, but I guess.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
We got some things going on for sure, and we
got to go to the Bay Area tour nest right
in your backyard.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
There, and yeah, I'm there, Yeah, yeah, all right.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
That's right down the street. So we'll make it happen.
And and our guy in Oakland, Alam de Loup.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
He's he's got his bar over there, he says, So
we can go to You'll be my muscle, by the way,
or nest to we go to Oakland, you'll be my muscle. Okay,
you'll protect me if I go to Oakland.
Speaker 6 (24:28):
I got your bet, I got you.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
All right, it looks like the Rams and Niners might
be meeting again in the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
I bet hey, hey, I was at that NFC championship
game when they played a couple of years back and
the Rams beat the Niners.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
And there was like it was like the forty nine
er home game and all that.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
But I'm there for it. Why not, let's bring it
on right now, let's have it. Let's make that the
NFC title game. And unfortunately, unfortunately, Garoppolo is playing for
the Rams, so he can't Yeah, he can't help help
the Rams out unless he's placed all.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Right, all right, thank you? Or Nesta Happy Thanksgiving Man,
the great.
Speaker 6 (25:04):
Man.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
He's been great. He's traveled around.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
The two guys that have traveled more than anybody, they're
super fans of the show.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Uh, well, there's there's three.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Actually I said two, but there's three. There's a Nesto
in the Bay who's traveled all over the place. He
was at the Vancouver meet and greet that we did,
which was which was so much fun. Uh, that was
a little is that the last one? I was the
Vegas Live. I don't even know it's Vegas or Vancouver.
He Ernesto flew up to Vancouver for that. And then JT.
The Wingman has been great. He's gone to a bunch
(25:34):
of these things. And Spacoli has also been really good
about traveling and going to see the show when we
go do appearances at different places. So, uh, those guys
would beat the very time. And there's there's others. There's
others that I I'm sure I'm forgetting that will remind
me what about me? And then they'll get upset And
let's go to Jeff in Denver.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Who's next.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
It is the Ben Mather Show doing it, but do
it live on Thanksgiving? Let's going on Jeff in the
Mile High City.
Speaker 6 (26:03):
Hey, man, I'd like to dis congratulate you won actually
working on the holiday instead of a pre recorded show.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Well, first of all, I don't ever record the show.
That's not what we do. It's lot.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Radio is supposed to be live. It shouldn't be recorded.
So that's number one.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Number two, I'm not digging.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Ditches that said, though, Jeff, Okay, did you see what
Aaron Andrews had to say here?
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Aaron Andrews, this is great. So she's like she's on
some podcasters.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
I don't know, I mean, nobody listens to these things,
and she said, Aaron Andrews said, she wants everybody to
know that there are some important things to take into
account before going in to sports media. And she then
proceeded to complain about the fact that she has to
work on holidays and that she misses a lot of
major life events like weddings and things like that.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
And she didn't get married until she was in her forties.
She complained about her job.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Now, now, Jeff, you want to take a guess how
many days Aaron Andrews works per year.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Take take a guess ballpark figure. What do you think
how many days of a year does Aaron Andrews work.
Speaker 6 (27:12):
I'm not familiar with who that person is, but I
would say.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
That's even better. That's even that's even better.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
That's a I guess you don't watch the NFL games
on Fox, but Aaron Andrews has been a sideline reporter
on Fox. And I think that is a very difficult
job to go up to the star of the game
and say, how does it feel?
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Man?
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Is that a hard job? Very difficult. It's right up
there with digging a trench. It's the same skill set.
It's going up to the star quarterback and threw four
touchdowns and say, man, how does it feel. That's like
being a roofer and lifting shingles up to the roof.
It's very similar.
Speaker 7 (27:48):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
And in fact, I was actually talking to somebody.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Before the show and I was like, you know, Aaron
Andrews asking the star player what it's like, or halftime
saying what do you tell your team? And halftime coach,
very similar to being an iron worker and handling heavy beams.
The skill set is the same. Or if you're a
logger cutting down trees, you could also you can say
that's similar to what Aaron Andrews is doing, and she's compensated,
and she does a great job. She makes three million
(28:13):
dollars a year. She works roughly twenty days a year.
There's Fox does about twenty twenty two NFL games, one
exhibition game. They do this seventeen regular season games and
or eighteen I guess, because there's you know, they don't
get the bye week. So this is like nineteen regular
nineteen games there and maybe a couple playoff games.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
So it gets you right around twenty.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
She makes roughly one hundred and fifty thousand dollars per game,
so I think she's doing.
Speaker 6 (28:37):
Okay, what do I sign Where do I sign up
for that job? Well?
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Contact Contact corporate and look at your send your resume
cover letter, and yeah, it's it's kind of like drilling
for oil.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Similar.
Speaker 6 (28:53):
So I initially called up to chime in on Rodney Rogers.
He mentioned Rodney Rodgers before, and he was he was
good with the Nuggets, as I'm a Nuggets fan, you know,
I'm in Denver. And he actually scored nine points in
less than twenty seconds in a game in ninety four
against Utah. Do you remember that?
Speaker 1 (29:14):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
I saw somebody had mentioned that in one of the
stories they read one of the eulogies about Rodney Rogers.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
But I was with him.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
He was on the cleek cash he traded from the
clip from the Nuggets of the Clippers in the Antonio
mcdice trade.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
If you remember that trade for the Nuggets.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
But yeah, he was a really nice, nice guy, really mellow,
kind of down to earth guy and all that stuff,
and that sucks many.
Speaker 6 (29:39):
Yeah, they stole the ball. They were down by like twelve.
They stole the ball, kicked it out, hit it three,
stole the ball, kicked it out, hit it three, stole
the ball again, kicked it out hit a three, and
they ended up losing the game by like two points
against Utah. It was just incredible to see. I mean,
you're down by twelve with twenty some seconds left and
(30:00):
they basically could have won the game. That was just an.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Amazing It's a better store if they won the game.
It's a better store if they won the game. Right,
you'd agree with that, it's not as good as story
because they didn't win the game and they won the game.
So you're back now because it's basketball season, is that right?
You've recovered from the offseason and all that. You're back now, Jeff,
to give nugget propaganda.
Speaker 6 (30:22):
Oh yeah, we're the best team in the league other
than OKC, which I don't understand. I really don't understand
that there's some kind of aura where they can play
foul defense or everything they do is basically a foul
and they're getting away with it. I mean, the SGA
just put a stiff arm, straight armed against a guy,
(30:44):
pushes him away to shoot a shot, and it's not
a foul. How is that not a foul? Have you
seen that?
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Jeff? All right time out here.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
I know that the NBA has a history of shenanigans,
shall we say, but why would they rig it for
Oklahoma City like that?
Speaker 1 (31:03):
I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
I agree, well because I don't. It makes no sense
they would help. It's bad for the sport, Kyrie and
these guys in Okay. So you are gonna bet upset
with me, but it's not It's not great when your
top team, your your team that is just dominating, is
in Oklahoma City. It's not good for the sport, but
it's good for Oklahoma City. But for the for the sports.
Speaker 6 (31:24):
I agree, I completely agree. I don't understand why Oklahoma
City being in the market they are is getting the
favoritism there. But have you seen how SGA plays?
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Yes, I know how he played.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
He was with the Clippers and all that back in
the day. And uh, speaking of that, I can I
can I take a pot shot at Kawhi Leonard? Will
you allow me to take a pot shout of Kahi Leonard?
Will you let me do that?
Speaker 1 (31:47):
All right? So, Kawhi Leonard, the Clippers are terrible this year.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
They suck Kawisman out and he he called out the Clippers.
Kawhi Leonard said, the Clippers need to play with better talent.
Kawhi Leonard is the guy that chose to get rid
of shape jogis Alexander.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
It was his.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
The reason the Clippers traded him is because Kawhi Leonard said,
I'm not going to the Clippers unless you get me
Paul George. And so the Clippers that the Oklahoma state said, well,
we want the SGA and the Well in order to
get Kawhi because he was the one. So, Kawhi, maybe
if you were a better judge of talent, numb nuts,
the Clippers would have better talent.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
You dummy, I'm sorry, go ahead, Jeff, I apologize. Is
that on the air? Did I say that on the air?
No one's listening. It's Thanksgiving? Who cares.
Speaker 6 (32:38):
I'm just blown away by the amount of like foul
defense that they play and it's allowed.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
All right, I got your repeating yourself. I'm gonna move on,
thank you. All right?
Speaker 2 (32:48):
There he goes our friend Jeff and Denver Nugget propagandist
checking in. Let's say hello now to Poppy in San
Diego picking with Poppy. Uh, he's got he's got a
customer right now. We're listening to live coverage. This is uh,
this is Poppy.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
He's working uber in San Diego. You know he's yeah, he's.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Put he's asking where Chick fil A is right there.
So we'll put him on hold and we'll check. But
he has no idea he's on the air. But he
called into the show to plausibly be on the air.
He called him the show to plausibly be on the air.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
And it's the rod So.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
The undynamic duo that would be the aforementioned JJ McCarthy
who has when targeting Justin Jefferson.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
This is crazy.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
This is the this is the fun fact of the
hour is what this is. So JJ McCarthy has six
interceptions and a forty seven point four passer rating targeting
Justin Jefferson this season. Those are both the worst among
eighty two quarterbacks Z duos with forty or more targets
(34:04):
this season. That is the worst.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Combo dish in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
JJ McCarthy and Justin Jefferson six interceptions forty seven point
four passer rating targeting Justin Jefferson. Both of those the
worst among eighty two quarterback receiver duos with forty or
more targets. I didn't play in the NFL, but that sucks.
That is bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad bad, all right.

that one? All right? Well we'll jump away from that.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
We have I was gonna I did this last hour,

up after I teased it, which is not.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
A good job.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
Who goofed, I've got to know. So I ended up
doing the I did the the Jackson Smith in Jigba
question when I was supposed to do the Matthew Stafford.

and I'm actually gonna give the right answer. So that's
the plan. Anyway, that's the plan. So here's the Insta trivia.
(35:29):

Joe the ghost Hunter says the Dayton, Ohio meet and greet,
Let's go. I'll be there, Ah cool, Joe the ghost
Unter is going to be there. And let's see the
correct answer again. Matthew Stafford can become the fourth player
all time with multiple touchdown passes no in receptions. They
play Carolina the Rams do this weekend in six consecutive games.
He would joined Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, and Blank. The
(39:29):
other name the answer Dandy Don Meredith for the Cowboy Eyes.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
Back in the mid nineteen sixties.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
Don Meredith turn out the last how about.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
That to the third degree. This is one big bet
gets grilled all right.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
Right to where we go. It's maler to the third
degree with Project pe. All right, let's get started.
Speaker 7 (39:54):
So the Steelers have lost four out of their last
six games and have fallen out of a playoff spot.
Former All Pro Steelers linebacker James Harrison recently called the
defense undisciplined and poorly coached and the schemes quote trash Ben,
do you think DC, Terrell Austin or even Mike Tomlin
could be on the hot seat.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
Well, I'm not gonna go Mike Tomlin.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
I've done monologue since before you were born about Tomlin
losing his job, and it doesn't matter how bad it gets,
they never give rid to Tomlin. The Steelers have been
an environmental pollutant defensively, right, there's always, for most of
my life, been great, and they're like a Tomic waste.
Right now, I would say of those two, the defensive
coordinators in much more danger.
Speaker 1 (40:39):
Next.
Speaker 7 (40:39):
All right, Next, The Titans fell to one in ten,
but cam Ward may have had the best game of
his career. Has now gone three straight games without throwing
an interception. On Tuesday, Titans interim head coach Mike McCoy
said he sees Ward's work starting to pay off. Ben,
should Titan fans be encouraged by Ward's improvement?
Speaker 1 (40:57):
All right?
Speaker 2 (40:57):
So, but my response is always, well, did you expect
the interim coach to say, no, he's getting worse since
I took over, he's getting worse since.
Speaker 1 (41:07):
I mean, come on, listen, I have not seen it.
Maybe I'm missing it.
Speaker 2 (41:12):
I guess he's statistically he's middle of the pack now
and they need him to get a.
Speaker 1 (41:17):
Lot lot better because right now they're still ass Next.
Speaker 7 (41:20):
A video made the rounds online of you made a
Duke a Doka engaging with a Heckler after rockets to
feed the Suns and Phoenix earlier this week, Ben, if
you were an NBA coach, do you think you'd find
yourself engaging with Heckler's Yes.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
Yes, it's fun. Why not? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (41:35):
They carve you up, You carve them up like a turkey.
It's it's good for everybody.
Speaker 1 (41:40):
I like it.
Speaker 3 (41:40):
How do we do?
Speaker 1 (41:42):
I love it? I think
