Speaker 1: Boom!
0:01
Speaker 2: Shakalaka! It's hour number one! Hour one of the Ben
0:08
Speaker 2: Maller Show and a zippity-doo-dah, zippity-day. As the NFL Week
0:14
Speaker 2: 8 card began last night, we stayed up all night
0:17
Speaker 2: to provide fresh pod. Reminder, the fifth hour podcast... We'll
0:22
Speaker 2: return today. We'll tell you what's coming up here in
0:24
Speaker 2: Hour 1. Fifth Hour Podcast, though, we celebrate a legend,
0:29
Speaker 2: a member of the Malheur, well, not a Malheur Militia guy,
0:32
Speaker 2: but he is a Fox Sports Radio alumni guy and
0:36
Speaker 2: one of the great characters in the history of sports
0:38
Speaker 2: who also happened to work at Fox Sports Radio back
0:41
Speaker 2: in the day and just a bunch of fun memories
0:44
Speaker 2: and great names and whatnot. So check out the Fifth
0:47
Speaker 2: Hour Podcast today, a very special episode. All about Dale.
0:53
Speaker 2: All about Dale. But here in our number one, a
0:56
Speaker 2: little Thursday night football, Carolina at Green Bay. Game was
1:01
Speaker 2: a blowout for a while. Carolina got back in the
1:04
Speaker 2: game but lost anyway. Is Panthers quarterback Bryce Young getting
1:09
Speaker 2: unfairly ripped for his play against Green Bay or is
1:13
Speaker 2: the criticism fair game? Also, thumbs up or thumbs down,
1:18
Speaker 2: are Jordan Love's Packers looking like a legitimate Super Bowl
1:22
Speaker 2: contender as they get another win? Have a solid record,
1:26
Speaker 2: the Green Bay Packers, but are they legit? And what
1:29
Speaker 2: is your word for wide receiver Christian Watson returning to
1:33
Speaker 2: Lambeau Field? He left to go to the hospital in
1:36
Speaker 2: an ambulance. He was coughing up blood. He came back,
1:39
Speaker 2: I guess, in an ambulance, and he played for The
1:42
Speaker 2: Green Bay Packers again in that game. What is your
1:45
Speaker 2: word for that? We'll get to all of this. Don't forget,
1:47
Speaker 2: fifth hour podcast as well. And here it is, hour
1:51
Speaker 2: number one. You got that pack mentality. I guess. Welcome
2:02
Speaker 2: in the beginning of another night of the Ben Maller Show.
2:07
Speaker 2: We are in the air everywhere. Right on your doorstep
2:15
Speaker 2: to the power of audio. As we pour fuel on
2:20
Speaker 2: the fire, we do coast-to-coast, border-to-border, and beyond on the

2:42
Speaker 2: the world-famous Fox Sports Radio Studios. Now, it's Halloween weekend.
2:49
Speaker 2: And so we've actually got our Ouija board out. We've
2:51
Speaker 2: made contact with many members of the Mallard Militia on
2:54
Speaker 2: the other side. So the Boston hater and Jeannie and
2:57
Speaker 2: Medford really want to know about Fox 1. I don't
2:59
Speaker 2: know if this works across the pearly gates. I'm not sure.
3:02
Speaker 2: But there's nothing like live. This fall, every NFL on
3:06

3:12
Speaker 2: Miss it live and you're just watching a highlight catch.
3:14
Speaker 2: Every play as it happens. The NFL on Fox 1.
3:19
Speaker 2: streaming on Fox One and reached out to Jimmy Ray
3:24
Speaker 2: from Tampa Bay in my Ouija board there and the
3:28
Speaker 2: great Rachel from Montebello, and they said, Mallard, you've got
3:33
Speaker 2: to let the people know about Express. I said, well,

Speaker 2: As we roll on and on and on. Hope you're
4:07
Speaker 2: doing all right. You survived another day and we're back
4:10
Speaker 2: at it in the audio sweatshop that does not stop
4:14
Speaker 2: the talk. And our lead this hour from the frozen tundra.
4:19
Speaker 2: Not quite frozen yet. Week 8. in the NFL kicked
4:24
Speaker 2: off with a Thursday night matchup. This was a ho-hum matchup.
4:30
Speaker 2: This doesn't get you all horny. You had Bryce Young
4:34
Speaker 2: and the Panthers traveling clown car that headed to Wisconsin
4:40
Speaker 2: to Lambeau Field for a play date with Jordan Love
4:44
Speaker 2: and the Packers. The usual suspects were there, Al Michaels,
4:48
Speaker 2: And Chris, who was it? Kirk Herbstreet was there. Chris who?
4:52
Speaker 2: I don't know. Kirk Herbstreet. Oh, the dog. Peter the
4:54
Speaker 2: dog was there, right? They had Peter the dog. And
4:57
Speaker 2: all those other ex-jocks that just laugh and are really
5:01
Speaker 2: just a reason to have the mute button on that pre-
5:03
Speaker 2: and post-game show. My God, do they suck over there
5:05
Speaker 2: on Amazon. So I don't know if you're watching or not.
5:08
Speaker 2: Maybe not. Don't worry, we watch so you would not
5:11
Speaker 2: have to. It is our good mitzvah of the day.
5:14
Speaker 2: So it depends on which side of the aisle you're on.
5:17
Speaker 2: Jordan Love had not one, not two, but three touchdown passes.
5:22
Speaker 2: Josh Jacobs scored a couple of touchdowns. touchdowns and the
5:26
Speaker 2: Packers withstood not one not two but three turnovers normally
5:32
Speaker 2: when you turn the ball over three times you lose
5:34
Speaker 2: unless you play a crap bag team like Carolina who
5:37
Speaker 2: did attempt a late comeback of course like everything else
5:40
Speaker 2: they do that failed and so the Packers win by
5:43
Speaker 2: eight points the better story though is in the losing
5:46
Speaker 2: locker room yet another El Stinko The team that's just
5:52
Speaker 2: a few miles away from Tobacco Road there, the old
5:55
Speaker 2: stinker here. They have been outscored now. Carolina, 70-32 through
6:00
Speaker 2: the last two games they have played. They now officially
6:04
Speaker 2: have a losing record. Oh, you're being mean, Maller! Now
6:08
Speaker 2: the one that's getting killed here is Bryce Young. Bryce
6:10
Speaker 2: Young's getting hammered. roasted for his performance, which is understandable
6:14
Speaker 2: if you watch the game. So that is a good
6:17
Speaker 2: jumping-off point. Let us discuss a lot of uproar directed
6:24
Speaker 2: at the quarterback there for the team from North Carolina.
6:28
Speaker 2: So let us discuss. The question is, is Carolina Panthers
6:33
Speaker 2: quarterback Bryce Young getting unfairly ripped for his play against
6:37
Speaker 2: Green Bay, or is the criticism... Fair game. So I've
6:43
Speaker 2: got Elon Musk, Wreck-It Ralph, and Swiss Army Knife. And
6:49
Speaker 2: we're going to put all these together. We're going to
6:51
Speaker 2: go for an overnight joyride is what we're going to do.
6:54
Speaker 2: So A, listen, I didn't need to ask you. I
7:00
Speaker 2: went to Replay Assist. We had an expedited review on
7:04
Speaker 2: Replay Assist. And it turns out the criticism of Bryce Young...
7:09
Speaker 2: Fair game! Fair game! Now, many bleeding hearts will say, well,
7:15
Speaker 2: Carolina's offensive line was patchwork. And it was. It was.
7:20
Speaker 2: The Panthers were getting bullrushed. They were. And Green Bay,
7:25
Speaker 2: a lot of the time, where they're only sending three people,
7:27
Speaker 2: it didn't matter because the offensive line wasn't great. Here's
7:31
Speaker 2: my argument, though. If you're truly an elite quarterback, like
7:33
Speaker 2: a guy drafted number one overall in the NFL draft,
7:37
Speaker 2: you're top-notch quarterback. then you get it done. You get
7:42
Speaker 2: it done. Bryce Young looked completely overmatched in stretches of
7:47
Speaker 2: this game. He was gasping for breath. And the processor
7:52
Speaker 2: is the problem. Now, if it was like the late
7:55
Speaker 2: 90s and you were using AOL dial-up, that would be fine. However,
8:00
Speaker 2: we're not using dial-up internet anymore. The Panthers needed to
8:04
Speaker 2: contact Elon Musk immediately. And see if they can hook
8:07
Speaker 2: Bryce Young up to that Starlink Wi-Fi. Because his Wi-Fi
8:12
Speaker 2: is slow. It's kind of like the Wi-Fi we have
8:14
Speaker 2: at work now, which blows. We just have great Wi-Fi.
8:17
Speaker 2: We have the top Wi-Fi in radio. And I don't
8:19
Speaker 2: know what happened, but our Wi-Fi sucks. It's kind of
8:22
Speaker 2: like Bryce Young's Wi-Fi sucks. His connections suck. And he
8:26
Speaker 2: continues to be an enigma. I am always fascinated by
8:30
Speaker 2: the Bryce Young truthers that are out there. You know,
8:33
Speaker 2: Carolina's got some decisions to make, whether they want to
8:36
Speaker 2: continue going down this road and whether to pay the
8:40
Speaker 2: guy or not. We've seen a number of teams get
8:42
Speaker 2: bamboozled into paying a substandard quarterback. And there's a lot
8:47
Speaker 2: of mediocre dudes that got paid a lot of money.
8:50
Speaker 2: Look at Justin Herbert. who sucks for the Chargers. Little
8:54
Speaker 2: Kyler Murray, who's already been fired by the Cardinals, he's
8:59
Speaker 2: now in the Vikings, to a tongue of Iloa. He
9:02
Speaker 2: got paid. Everyone said he blew. He got paid anyway.
9:06
Speaker 2: It's all because of FOMO. Oh, the fear of missing out.
9:09
Speaker 2: What if this guy goes to another team and becomes good? Well,
9:13
Speaker 2: who cares? He sucks for your team. Anyway, it's fascinating
9:17
Speaker 2: to see the psychology behind these quarterbacks and how you fanboys,
9:22
Speaker 2: you love your quarterbacks. My God. It's very frustrating when
9:26
Speaker 2: you're on this side of the microphone and every time
9:29
Speaker 2: Bryce has a decent performance, it gets celebrated like it's
9:33
Speaker 2: the moon landing by the Marching and Chowder Society. And
9:39
Speaker 2: then every time he goes out and has a game
9:42
Speaker 2: like this, which he did on Thursday night, The failures
9:45
Speaker 2: get blamed on somebody else. It's never his fault. It
9:50
Speaker 2: just is not his fault. Here is Dave Canales, who...
9:56
Speaker 2: It's not long as an NFL coach. But here's Dave
9:59
Speaker 2: Canales pointing out there are some issues with protection. Take
10:05
Speaker 2: a listen.
10:05
Speaker 3: Honestly, I just think it comes down to a protection
10:08
Speaker 3: plan deal for us because when we give Bryce time,
10:10
Speaker 3: he's shown his ability to be able to spread the
10:12
Speaker 3: ball around, distribute it, find accurate throws in traffic and
10:16
Speaker 3: all those things. And I'm confident that when we shore
10:18
Speaker 3: that part up, Bryce will be back in his rhythm,
10:21
Speaker 3: making his throws that he can.
10:22
Speaker 2: So the way I interpret that quote is Dave Canales
10:25
Speaker 2: just told you you can't win a championship with Bryce Young.
10:29
Speaker 2: You can't. He just announced right there. What do you mean, Maller? Well,
10:34
Speaker 2: here's what I mean. Bryce Young is only good when
10:37
Speaker 2: he gets great protection. You don't get great protection in
10:41
Speaker 2: playoff games. You're porked. You're screwed. It's over. Dave Canales
10:45
Speaker 2: just announced we can't win with this guy. The only
10:49
Speaker 2: way Bryce is an effective NFL quarterback is if everything
10:51
Speaker 2: was perfect. Well, this just in, not everything's going to
10:55
Speaker 2: be perfect. Dummy. Here's Bryce Young pointing out that you
10:59
Speaker 2: might want to finish some stuff a little bit better.
11:02
Speaker 2: Take a listen.
11:02
Speaker 4: We just got to finish better. That's our calling card,
11:06
Speaker 4: and we didn't get that done today. That's not acceptable.
11:07
Speaker 2: Calling card. We fought.
11:08
Speaker 4: It was very, you know, it was ugly, and defense
11:12
Speaker 4: stepped up, gave us a shot. Special teams in the
11:14
Speaker 4: same way. We have to finish.
11:16
Speaker 1: That's all it's about.
11:18
Speaker 2: Got to finish. Oh, you finished like you usually finish
11:21
Speaker 2: as a loser. Again, I go back to the, it's
11:25
Speaker 2: never Bryce's fault, it's always somebody else's fault. It's like
11:28
Speaker 2: a helicopter mom who refuses to believe their child could
11:33
Speaker 2: do anything wrong, regardless of the evidence. I used to
11:35
Speaker 2: watch the nightly news, and not many watch the nightly
11:38
Speaker 2: news anymore, but I used to love the nightly news.
11:40
Speaker 2: I used to watch it all the time. And somebody
11:42
Speaker 2: would get arrested for shooting up a bar. And they'd
11:45
Speaker 2: interview the guy's mom. And, oh, he would never do
11:48
Speaker 2: something like this. He was such a great son. I
11:50
Speaker 2: don't know what you're talking about. There's video of him
11:54
Speaker 2: with the gun shooting up the boy. But, no, he
11:57
Speaker 2: would never do that. It's like the helicopter mom syndrome.
12:02
Speaker 2: Anything wrong, regardless of evidence, he can't do anything wrong.
12:07
Speaker 2: You talk about a sweetheart deal. What exactly? Let me
12:11
Speaker 2: ask you this. Serious question. What exactly does Bryce Young
12:14
Speaker 2: do at an elite NFL level? I'll take your answer
12:19
Speaker 2: off the air. Seriously. Name one thing. I've watched a
12:24
Speaker 2: lot of Bryce Young. He's been in the NFL a
12:25
Speaker 2: few years now. There's just no there there. There's nothing. Now,
12:31
Speaker 2: he gets graded on a curve because Carolina wasted a
12:34
Speaker 2: number one overall pick on him. If Bryce Young were
12:37
Speaker 2: a fourth round selection, fourth round pick, Do you think
12:42
Speaker 2: we're even having this conversation right now that he's even
12:44
Speaker 2: still on the team? It's not a franchise quarterback. It's
12:48
Speaker 2: anywhere close. Dave Canales just told you we can't win
12:50
Speaker 2: with this guy because he only plays well when everything's perfect.
12:53
Speaker 2: The coach just told you we can't win with Bryce Young.
12:58
Speaker 2: He used a dog whistle, but that's what he said.
13:01
Speaker 2: That's what he said. Listen, he's a very expensive developmental project,
13:08
Speaker 2: and there's apparently no graduation date. He's just going to
13:10
Speaker 2: continue on and on and on. Meanwhile, to the Green
13:14
Speaker 2: Bay side of things. So the Packers get another win.
13:19
Speaker 2: They fatten up their record like a turkey before Thanksgiving.
13:22
Speaker 2: Got to fatten up the record, and they got a
13:25
Speaker 2: pretty good record. So what are they, 5-2, the Green
13:28
Speaker 2: Bay Packers. So the question, thumbs up. Or thumbs down,
13:34
Speaker 2: are Jordan Loves Packers looking more like a legitimate Super
13:38
Speaker 2: Bowl contender as we are now through week eight for
13:42
Speaker 2: Green Bay? So I'm going to go after a minutes-long
13:45
Speaker 2: deliberation of the available information, which means I sat on
13:48
Speaker 2: my ass and watched the game. I'm going to go
13:50
Speaker 2: thumbs down. I'm going thumbs down. Green Bay is another
13:55
Speaker 2: team whose reputation is considerably more impressive than an actual performance.
14:01
Speaker 2: I realize I'm talking to a lot of people that
14:03
Speaker 2: own the Green Bay Packers. I have friends of mine
14:05
Speaker 2: that are Packers owners, and I have conversations with them.
14:08
Speaker 2: So I do have some inside information because I have
14:11
Speaker 2: in my phone, there's at least two people that own
14:13
Speaker 2: part of the Green Bay Packers. And so I've talked
14:15
Speaker 2: to these people who own the team, and they tend
14:17
Speaker 2: to agree with me. In terms of the grade for
14:20
Speaker 2: this performance by Green Bay, on the Maller scorecard, on
14:24
Speaker 2: the Maller scorecard, the Packers get an SM. What is
14:30
Speaker 2: an SM? Well, SM, that's what I typed in my
14:33
Speaker 2: notes app on my iPhone when I was watching the game.
14:37
Speaker 2: I was doodling some notes down. Well, I can't really
14:39
Speaker 2: doodle on a notes thing, but I was typing. So
14:43
Speaker 2: I wrote down SM as in sporadic malfunction. They're looking
14:48
Speaker 2: like a wagon, right? For a while, the Green Bay
14:51
Speaker 2: Packers looked like an absolute wagon. The wheels on the
14:54
Speaker 2: wagon go round and round. The wheels on the wagon
14:57
Speaker 2: go round and round. And then one falls off, and
15:01
Speaker 2: something goes ker-flooey! And it's just like that. Jordan Love
15:04
Speaker 2: plays for half or three quarters, depending on how you
15:09
Speaker 2: look at it in this game or just any game.
15:11
Speaker 2: He looks like Patrick Mahomes, like the good version of Mahomes.
15:15
Speaker 2: And then there's one quarter where it looks like he
15:19
Speaker 2: won a contest as caller 17 on a radio call-in
15:24
Speaker 2: line at a FM rock station and serves up a
15:29
Speaker 2: Wreck-It Ralph special. The Verp. The Verp. And that was
15:35
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter for Jordan Love. He served up a Verp.
15:37
Speaker 2: You know what a Verp is, right? That's where you
15:39
Speaker 2: vomit and burp together.
15:40
Speaker 5: Ew.
15:41
Speaker 2: And you can taste it. Yeah, so they carry the
15:45
Speaker 2: Packers a dollar general rushing attack. They've got that. And
15:50
Speaker 2: you add on some turnovers. They had three in this game.
15:55
Speaker 2: And penalties, not too many penalties here, but in general
15:59
Speaker 2: there have been a lot of penalties. Nearly squandering a
16:03
Speaker 2: 17-point lead to a pretty bad Carolina team. And Matt LaFleur,
16:08
Speaker 2: the coach, the mastermind, behind a team that clearly has
16:12
Speaker 2: some discipline issues. You might want to contact the Better
16:16
Speaker 2: Business Bureau. Now, it's not all bad. The defense, they
16:20
Speaker 2: don't have their favorite podcaster, Micah Parsons, who's taking his
16:24
Speaker 2: time coming back. You don't want to rush back when
16:26
Speaker 2: you're the highest paid defensive player in football. Why would
16:28
Speaker 2: you do that? The Packers defense has held five straight
16:32
Speaker 2: opponents to under 20 points. But still, there's a lot
16:36
Speaker 2: of indicators. The key indicators that say there's fraud, that
16:39
Speaker 2: this is just a Kind of like a Steeler team
16:42
Speaker 2: of recent years where they're good enough to make the playoffs,
16:45
Speaker 2: but they're not really a real threat to do anything
16:47
Speaker 2: in the playoffs. Now to the subplot. Now to the subplot.
16:53
Speaker 2: And we go to the injury room. Yeah, the injury room. Well,
16:59
Speaker 2: a lot going on here. If you were watching the game,
17:02
Speaker 2: you know exactly where I'm going with this. It was...
17:05
Speaker 2: wild and zany and crazy. Christian Watson, a former guest
17:10
Speaker 2: on the Fifth Hour podcast, by the way, had him
17:12
Speaker 2: at Radio Row a couple years back. But Green Bay
17:15
Speaker 2: wide receiver Christian Watkins suffering a chest injury during the game,
17:19
Speaker 2: and this was a big storyline. Within the game, Watson
17:21
Speaker 2: was injured. He took a deep pass from Jordan Love
17:25
Speaker 2: in the second quarter, landed hard on the Duke, the football,
17:29
Speaker 2: as he was being tackled by a defensive back for Carolina.
17:34
Speaker 2: Watson Revealed after the game, he was coughing up blood.
17:40
Speaker 2: Like a vampire. Coughing up blood. Perfect for Halloween. And
17:45
Speaker 2: he had some issues breathing. And that led to the Packers,
17:49
Speaker 2: out of an abundance of caution, the medical staff put
17:52
Speaker 2: him in an ambulance with cherry tops on the way
17:56
Speaker 2: to the hospital. They had a CT scan. But how
18:00
Speaker 2: great is it if you're an NFL player? My God,
18:02
Speaker 2: you go right there. Anyway, they had a CT scan.
18:06
Speaker 2: Revealed a fractured rib. However, the doctor said, you know what?
18:10
Speaker 2: There's no internal bleeding here. You're cleared to go back
18:14
Speaker 2: and play. So Watson returned to Lambeau Field, as Al
18:18
Speaker 2: Michaels said, in an ambulance during the third quarter, jogging
18:22
Speaker 2: out of the tunnel like a professional wrestler to a
18:25
Speaker 2: thunderous ovation. And despite the fractured rib, Watson did return
18:30
Speaker 2: late in the third quarter, finished with eight receptions, 113 yards,
18:34
Speaker 2: had a crucial late third down conversion. If you're watching
18:37
Speaker 2: the game, you know what I'm talking about. So the Packers,
18:41
Speaker 2: of course, and the NFL being ripped for allowing this
18:44
Speaker 2: to happen. How can you allow this to happen? What's
18:46
Speaker 2: wrong with you? Oh, my God. All right, so the question,
18:50
Speaker 2: what is your word? What is your word for Christian
18:55
Speaker 2: Watson returning to Lambeau Field today? in an ambulance and
19:00
Speaker 2: playing the end of the game, playing the end of
19:03
Speaker 2: the game for the Packers. So my word is Scorsese,
19:09
Speaker 2: as in Martin Scorsese, the Hollywood legend. You know that
19:13
Speaker 2: meme with his hands raised, captioned, absolute cinema? That's what
19:18
Speaker 2: this was. Now, if you're old, you might remember in wrestling,
19:22
Speaker 2: it's actually become a meme, so I guess you don't
19:23
Speaker 2: have to be old, but it was Kevin... kevin nash
19:28
Speaker 2: right remember the famous scene where you in the that
19:31
Speaker 2: was a wcw years ago 25 years ago i had
19:33
Speaker 2: a broken leg and it turned out he didn't have
19:36
Speaker 2: a broken leg and he used the old fake leg
19:39
Speaker 2: in a cast trick and ended up getting back in
19:42
Speaker 2: the ring and it was really hilarious how they did
19:45
Speaker 2: that it was similar here this guy goes from coughing
19:48
Speaker 2: up a nice big chunk of blood coughing up his
19:52
Speaker 2: guts goes to the hospital and comes back now i've
19:54
Speaker 2: heard of farm to table i've heard of farm to
19:57
Speaker 2: table this is a new product hospital the huddle it's
20:01
Speaker 2: a spin-off of farm to table very organic I don't
20:04
Speaker 2: know about you, but when I've had to go to
20:05
Speaker 2: the hospital and get checked out, I'm there for eight hours.
20:09
Speaker 2: If you're an NFL player, you're there for ten minutes.
20:13
Speaker 2: You imagine how many other people must have been in
20:14
Speaker 2: the waiting room at that. Well, it's Green Bay. I
20:16
Speaker 2: don't know how many people were there. But the hospital
20:18
Speaker 2: would say, all right, you're in line. Wait a minute.
20:21
Speaker 2: It's going to be an extra half hour or an
20:23
Speaker 2: hour because Christian Watson's coming in from Lambeau. So I'm sorry.
20:27
Speaker 2: I know you're dying, but this guy plays football, so
20:30
Speaker 2: it's much more important. Please, come on. They're coughing up blood.
20:34
Speaker 2: Fractured rib, round-trip ambulance ride, back on the field. How
20:40
Speaker 2: much is that going to cost the Packers? Seriously, I
20:43
Speaker 2: know a hospital, ambulance ride to the hospitals, isn't that
20:47
Speaker 2: like $ 10, 000 or something like that? They charge your insurance.
20:51
Speaker 2: So is that a $ 20, 000 ride to the hospital for
20:55
Speaker 2: Christian Watson? They should have taken Uber back. Would have
20:58
Speaker 2: saved some money. But that is the stuff of legends.
21:02
Speaker 2: And yet the outrage industrial complex hyperventilating. The critics are
21:07
Speaker 2: acting like Matt LaFleur himself performed performed meatball surgery at
21:12
Speaker 2: midfield with a Swiss Army knife in front of all
21:15
Speaker 2: the people at Lambeau Field. Spare me. It's the way
21:18
Speaker 2: it is. Watson was cleared by actual doctors at a hospital.
21:23
Speaker 2: Not the team doctors at a hospital. These are people
21:26
Speaker 2: who plausibly took the Hippocratic Oath. Not keyboard physicians and
21:31
Speaker 2: the algorithm and the bot farms in Moldova. OK, not
21:35
Speaker 2: the people with WebMD degrees in the age of load
21:39
Speaker 2: management where athletes need three business days to recover from
21:43
Speaker 2: a hangnail. Heck, look at Micah Parsons. They said he'd
21:47
Speaker 2: be back in week four, week five. It's now going
21:51
Speaker 2: to be at least week nine. He's not in any
21:53
Speaker 2: rush to come back. But there's Watson displaying some old-fashioned
21:58
Speaker 2: intestinal fortitude. And, of course, the Internet world. Oh, my God,
22:03
Speaker 2: it's out of an abundance of caution. It's not safe enough.
22:07
Speaker 2: It's not safe enough. Listen, football, as long as they play,
22:11
Speaker 2: eventually it will become flag football. But for now, it's
22:13
Speaker 2: a collision sport. It is not a wellness retreat. with
22:17
Speaker 2: complimentary lavender-infused herbal tea. That's not what this is. So
22:23
Speaker 2: I say bravo, and it's the thing that you can celebrate.
22:25
Speaker 2: They used to make... Highlight reels of the toughest players
22:29
Speaker 2: in the NFL. That would be a very short reel
22:31
Speaker 2: these days. That would be a very, very short reel.
22:34
Speaker 2: It is the Ben Maller Show. The Ben Maller Show
22:38
Speaker 2: as we continue on through the overnight. And we do
22:43
Speaker 2: have later on, next hour we'll, you know the deal,
22:46
Speaker 2: it's our usual Friday show. So next hour, no calls.
22:49
Speaker 2: It's all Benny versus the Penny. Breaking down all the
22:52
Speaker 2: big games. We've handpicked the eight most important games in
22:55
Speaker 2: the NFL. We'll handicap the games, tell you what should
22:59
Speaker 2: happen in those games. I'll challenge myself head-to-head against the penny.
23:03
Speaker 2: So we'll be doing that coming up in Hour 2.
23:06
Speaker 2: But in the meantime, we've got calls this hour and
23:08
Speaker 2: then again in Hours 2, or Hour 3 and Hour 4.
23:11
Speaker 2: We'll have some of your phone calls as well. 877-99
23:14
Speaker 2: on Fox. 877-996-6369. Also available on the X Machine at
23:16
Speaker 2: Ben Maller. That's at Ben Maller. If you'd like to
23:30
Speaker 2: be part of the program, you can join the talk
23:34
Speaker 2: festivus as we are just beginning the celebration of the overnight.
23:39
Speaker 2: So we've got your phone calls, the whole thing, and
23:42
Speaker 2: your comments as well. And later on in hour three,
23:45
Speaker 2: we'll have the riddle of the day. Also, Big Ben's
23:49
Speaker 2: lame jokes of the week. Big Ben's lame jokes of
23:52
Speaker 2: the week. That'll be coming up in hour number three.
23:57
Speaker 2: So we have a nominee for the most obtuse player
24:03
Speaker 2: in the NFL. Who do you think the most obtuse
24:07
Speaker 2: player in the NFL is? We have a nominee. We
24:13
Speaker 2: will reveal the nominee. We'll get to that, and we
24:15
Speaker 2: will do it!
24:17
Speaker 6: Next.
24:18
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Maler
24:21
Speaker 1: Show weekdays at 2 a.m. Eastern, 11 p.m. Pacific on
24:24
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
24:28
Speaker 7: Welcome to Football Doesn't Lie.
24:30
Speaker 6: Hi, I'm Bill Parcells.
24:33
Speaker 7: And I'm Catherine Zazzora.
24:34
Speaker 8: I have a lot of experience in the game of football, Catherine.
24:38
Speaker 7: And I'm learning the game with Bill's help. Every week,
24:40
Speaker 7: we're going to talk about the NFL slate through the
24:43
Speaker 7: lens of Bill's expertise as he coaches me from novice
24:46
Speaker 7: fan to football expert over the course of the season.
24:49
Speaker 8: You know, I'm looking forward to this show, Catherine, and
24:51
Speaker 8: hopefully we can give our audience a little in-depth look
24:55
Speaker 8: into the inner sanctum of pro football that they can't
24:58
Speaker 8: get anywhere else.
24:59
Speaker 7: Tune in every Thursday for unfiltered stories from Coach Parcells,
25:02
Speaker 7: analysis on the state of the modern game, and education
25:06
Speaker 7: on how football really works.
25:08
Speaker 6: Continuity is very important. But what happens when you get
25:12
Speaker 6: good coaches on your staff and people begin to recognize them,
25:16
Speaker 6: then they want to hire them. And then you can't
25:19
Speaker 6: stop a guy from trying to improve himself, but you
25:22
Speaker 6: have to replace them.
25:24
Speaker 7: Because once you understand what's going on inside the mind
25:27
Speaker 7: of the coaches, you'll understand more about the whole game.
25:30
Speaker 8: So all aspects can be discussed. The only thing I
25:33
Speaker 8: haven't done, because I didn't have enough money, I don't
25:36
Speaker 8: own the team. I never owned a team.
25:39
Speaker 7: Listen to Football Doesn't Lie on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
25:43
Speaker 7: or wherever you get your podcasts.
25:48
Speaker 2: The Ben Maller Show on Fox Sports Radio. We thank
25:52
Speaker 2: you for hanging out with us, being part of the
25:55
Speaker 2: The show being a member of the Malheur Militia, supporting
25:57
Speaker 2: our little overnight show. Those daytime people have no idea
26:01
Speaker 2: what we do at night, and we like it that way.
26:04
Speaker 2: It's our fun zone, and they're not welcome. Now, they
26:08
Speaker 2: can listen to the podcast, but it's different when you
26:11
Speaker 2: listen live. It's a whole different mojo, a whole different vibe.
26:15
Speaker 2: If Benny vs. the Penny coming up next hour, it
26:17
Speaker 2: is also a Friday show, which means new episodes of
26:22
Speaker 2: the Fifth Hour Podcast will pop up. All weekend long.
26:27
Speaker 1: Yeah.
26:28
Speaker 2: How about that? Pretty crazy. Fresh pod in addition to this,
26:32
Speaker 2: so the audio sweatshop does not stop. In the meantime,
26:35
Speaker 2: on the live show this hour, talking about that Thursday
26:37
Speaker 2: night game, the Packers and the Panthers. Bryce Young looking
26:43
Speaker 2: like a stiff. As Dave Canales admitted, they can't win
26:47
Speaker 2: with their quarterback. Pretty shocking admission by Dave Canales. I'm
26:51
Speaker 2: sure that everyone in the media will ignore it because
26:53
Speaker 2: they don't understand the truth, but he just laid it
26:55
Speaker 2: all out. Anyway, 877-99 on Fox, on X, at Ben Maller.
26:59
Speaker 2: Say hello to Lorena. She's the FSR tech queen. There
27:04
Speaker 2: she is right there.
27:04
Speaker 5: I tried to say hi earlier, but my programming was off.
27:09
Speaker 5: I think Alex was recording himself.
27:12
Speaker 2: Oh, really? What would he be recording?
27:13
Speaker 6: I don't know.
27:14
Speaker 7: He does all sorts of stuff.
27:15
Speaker 2: Really? A little side hustle? Yeah. I should do that.
27:19
Speaker 7: Okay.
27:19
Speaker 5: That's a good idea.
27:20
Speaker 2: A side hustle? Yeah. Listen, Lorena, FSR Tech Queen, and
27:26
Speaker 2: Koopa Loop, and all Bronco fan, that's all Bronco fan,
27:29
Speaker 2: your comments can and will be used against you in
27:33
Speaker 2: the court of the Malheur Militia, so please act accordingly.
27:38
Speaker 2: All right, back to it we go, and the Malheur
27:42
Speaker 2: Militia with a lot to say. We'll get the X
27:44
Speaker 2: run down. I'm very busy, you know, putting Benny versus
27:46
Speaker 2: the Penny still together and some other things, so I'll
27:47
Speaker 2: get to the X run down when I have some time.
27:49
Speaker 2: I We do not have time right now, so at
27:52
Speaker 2: some point it'll be up. But it's a surprise. You've
27:55
Speaker 2: got to keep listening to find out what we're going
27:56
Speaker 2: to be talking about. That's the magic. That's old school.
28:00
Speaker 2: That's old school. Stevie Meatballs writes in. It's good to
28:02
Speaker 2: hear from him. Where have you been, Stevie Meatballs? You
28:04
Speaker 2: cheating on us? You schmuck? How dare you? Anyway, Stevie
28:08
Speaker 2: Meatballs says, cracked ribs, not just for her pleasure. We
28:12
Speaker 2: all got a kick out of that. That's going to
28:14
Speaker 2: hurt in the morning. All right, that's Stevie Meatballs right there.
28:18
Speaker 2: And weren't we supposed to do a bit with you,
28:21
Speaker 2: Stevie Meatballs? Weren't we planning on doing a bit? And
28:23
Speaker 2: then I guess we forgot about it. There you go.
28:28
Speaker 4: Man.
28:29
Speaker 2: All right, Anthony in Anaheim, who is retired, he sold out,
28:34
Speaker 2: He was a celebrity caller, and he gave up the
28:36
Speaker 2: paparazzi and the lifestyle, the groupies. Years ago, he says, hey,
28:42
Speaker 2: you sound better than ever, Ben, that in the air
28:45
Speaker 2: everywhere was outstanding. Well, thank you, Anthony. It's good to
28:48
Speaker 2: know an old-timer like you appreciates my work and isn't
28:51
Speaker 2: just a low-level troll. I'm glad that you... You're still
28:55
Speaker 2: a fan after all these years, Anthony, and you haven't
28:57
Speaker 2: become an a-hole. It's really nice. Hoosier Bill writes in, says,
29:01
Speaker 2: Ben Obtuse, Mike McDaniel of the Chargers, which is paradoxical. Plus,
29:09
Speaker 2: he's a nerd. He's a nerd. There you go. Ernie says,
29:13
Speaker 2: the classic move by Kevin Nash. Yeah, that was an
29:16
Speaker 2: all-time great one. no question about it late night drug
29:21
Speaker 2: tester writes in says unlike the brewers in game three
29:24
Speaker 2: the packers know how to keep an audience watching on
29:27
Speaker 2: tv take a big lead let the panthers slowly creep
29:32
Speaker 2: back al michaels and herbie should have been happy with
29:36
Speaker 2: the results These guys love, the broadcasters love to pump
29:40
Speaker 2: up the team losing. Once you hear that, you can't
29:44
Speaker 2: hear it. Once somebody says, hey, when you watch a game,
29:46
Speaker 2: pay attention if one team takes a two-score lead, how
29:51
Speaker 2: much the other team, the team trailing, gets talked about.
29:55
Speaker 2: They all go to the same place. clown college to
29:58
Speaker 2: become broadcasters and they learn, well, here's the trick. They
30:01
Speaker 2: seem to think that just by saying the other team
30:03
Speaker 2: is going to come back to win most of the time,
30:06
Speaker 2: it does not work. And then every once in a while,
30:10
Speaker 2: a team does come back and something crazy happens. And
30:14
Speaker 2: it's all man, look at the comeback. And it's kind
30:17
Speaker 2: of like my look at like 14 parlays or 15 parlays.
30:21
Speaker 2: It's usually a sucker bet, right? Parlay is a sucker bet.
30:24
Speaker 2: And every once in a while, someone will hit a parlay,
30:26
Speaker 2: and the books love to promote the parlays when people
30:30
Speaker 2: hit because it's the ultimate sucker play. They're going to
30:32
Speaker 2: make their money more times than not. So they love
30:35
Speaker 2: when you bet parlays. They want you to bet parlay.
30:38
Speaker 2: And they want you to think that teams are going
30:40
Speaker 2: to come back when they're down by a lot, when
30:41
Speaker 2: normally that does not happen. Michael in Tulsa writes in.
30:45
Speaker 2: He says, Ben, you should have used the penny I
30:48
Speaker 2: sent you for Benny versus the penny. I know. We've
30:51
Speaker 2: got to work on that for the Green Bay Carolina game.
30:53
Speaker 2: Does Gunner have any thoughts about his Panthers? I thought not.
30:58
Speaker 2: On Wisconsin, farm to table is much more expensive than
31:02
Speaker 2: ambulance to stadium. Well, sure. Well, why not? Why not?
31:08
Speaker 2: I'm sure. Let me look here. I mean, I'm almost
31:11
Speaker 2: positive that if you look here, Gunner's got to be online, right?
31:17
Speaker 2: Let me look. Page. Page down.
31:20
Speaker 1: No.
31:22
Speaker 2: How could Gunner not be my first call? Huh, I
31:25
Speaker 2: wonder where he'd be. I mean, there's no way he
31:29
Speaker 2: would be a frontrunner and a coward and a loser, right?
31:32
Speaker 2: There's no way Gunner would be all those things. I mean, sure,
31:34
Speaker 2: Gunner would be the— I don't see him on my board.
31:37
Speaker 2: I don't—Page down. Page down. I do not see him.
31:43
Speaker 2: Hundreds of callers. No Gunner.
31:44
Speaker 7: I know.
31:45
Speaker 4: I know.
31:46
Speaker 2: It's very odd. He always seems to get in when
31:49
Speaker 2: the Panthers do something interesting, when they win. But this
31:52
Speaker 2: is very rare. It's odd. Maybe his phone stopped working.
31:57
Speaker 2: That could be. His phone stopped working. Let's go to
32:03
Speaker 2: Anthony in Louisiana. I haven't talked to him in a
32:05
Speaker 2: couple days. Hello, Anthony in Louisiana. Welcome.
32:08
Speaker 4: Hey, Ben.
32:09
Speaker 6: How you doing?
32:11
Speaker 2: Anthony, if I was any better, I'd be a Young.
32:14
Speaker 2: But not Bryce Young, because it's not good.
32:18
Speaker 4: Yeah, Bryce Young. Yeah, Greek Carolina loss.
32:22
Speaker 2: Hey, where are you watching the big NFL games this
32:25
Speaker 2: weekend there, Anthony?
32:29
Speaker 5: Oh, we got Prime Video.
32:32
Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
32:33
Speaker 2: Well, no, no, what I recommend, Anthony, I'm trying to
32:35
Speaker 2: lead you into a spot here. I'm doing a spot.
32:37
Speaker 2: It's Fox 1. You ever heard about Fox 1?
32:39
Speaker 1: Yes.
32:40
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, good. You're listening. There's nothing like live. This fall,
32:44
Speaker 2: every NFL on Fox game streams live on Fox 1.
32:47
Speaker 2: Every Sunday, every rivalry. Miss it live, and you're just
32:50
Speaker 2: watching a highlight catch. Every play as it happens. NFL
32:55
Speaker 2: on Fox streaming on Fox 1. Isn't that a great read, Anthony?
32:59
Speaker 2: Didn't I just nail that read right there?
33:01
Speaker 4: Hey, Chuck.
33:02
Speaker 1: What up, Doe?
33:08
Speaker 2: Happy birthday.
33:09
Speaker 5: Thank you.
33:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, you didn't call me on my birthday.
33:12
Speaker 4: Yeah.
33:14
Speaker 5: You tell me how special I am, but you don't
33:16
Speaker 5: do that. I'm just, I'm offended.
33:18
Speaker 2: I'm offended. Oh, no.
33:21
Speaker 1: Thank you.
33:22
Speaker 5: I'm opening a gift box right now from another listener.
33:26
Speaker 5: And this is my, this might be an odd snack.
33:29
Speaker 5: I don't know if I'm going to eat this one.
33:30
Speaker 5: Do you want to know what it is?
33:31
Speaker 2: Is it kangaroo? No.
33:35
Speaker 5: It's a product of Japan.
33:38
Speaker 2: They ate some weird stuff in Japan for American palate.
33:42
Speaker 5: It's a dried fish snack mix.
33:45
Speaker 1: Oh, nice.
33:47
Speaker 8: She's good.
33:49
Speaker 2: Why don't you give that to your daughter then? You
33:50
Speaker 2: know what? She might like it. She might eat it
33:53
Speaker 2: as a gag or something like that. How do you
33:55
Speaker 2: eat this? Oh, Ben, you would probably vomit if you
33:58
Speaker 2: saw this snack. What is it? Well, in Mexico, they
34:01
Speaker 2: were serving grasshoppers.
34:02
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what I thought it was at first from
34:04
Speaker 5: the side. I was like, are these a grasshopper snack?
34:07
Speaker 2: In Mexico City, we went to this bar. They had
34:10
Speaker 2: mixed nuts with grasshoppers. That's an interesting snack. You ever
34:15
Speaker 2: eaten grasshoppers, Anthony, in Louisiana?
34:17
Speaker 7: No.
34:18
Speaker 2: No? Would you eat them? Have you ever had alligator?
34:23
Speaker 2: Have you had gator? No. You've not? But you live
34:27
Speaker 2: in a place where there are gators. Why have you
34:28
Speaker 2: not had gator?
34:30
Speaker 7: Yeah, I like catfish.
34:33
Speaker 2: Oh, catfish. See, that was almost a drop. I talked
34:35
Speaker 2: over it. Say that again.
34:38
Speaker 1: I like catfish.
34:39
Speaker 2: There you go. There you go. That's perfect, Lorraine. We're
34:42
Speaker 2: going to have a whole big board of Anthony drops.
34:45
Speaker 5: Honestly, by the time, yeah, his board's going to look
34:48
Speaker 5: like Marcel's here very soon.
34:49
Speaker 6: Good night, Lorraine.
34:50
Speaker 1: Good night, John. Oh, thank you.
34:52
Speaker 2: Thank you. Let me see.
34:54
Speaker 5: Ben, you're going to have to eat one of these fishes.
34:56
Speaker 2: I want it on camera. The only fish I eat
34:59
Speaker 2: are those gummy fish. Swedish fish? Oh, my God. That is...
35:04
Speaker 2: Who sent that? I do love Swedish fish. Who sent that?
35:07
Speaker 1: Kingdae.
35:07
Speaker 2: How disgusting does that look? Wow, that is... People eat that? Really? Like,
35:13
Speaker 2: do people of Japan think that's delicious?
35:15
Speaker 5: Yeah.
35:16
Speaker 2: They cover it in sugar or something? I don't think so.
35:18
Speaker 5: It just says ready to eat, calcium, and protein. 17
35:22
Speaker 5: grams of protein.
35:24
Speaker 1: Wow.
35:24
Speaker 2: Okay. I'm sure there's some sort of seasoning. Oh, do
35:26

Speaker 5: Thank you.
36:41
Speaker 2: Why didn't you get it upsized? You didn't get upsized.

Speaker 2: Lie. I've not been to Jack in the Box. I
37:49
Speaker 2: swear I have not. The only fast food I really
37:51
