• 3:14
  Speaker 1: just tremendous Thursday night NFL game we have to look
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: forward to here. where Baltimore's got a make-a-wish situation, a quarterback,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: and they take on Jacksonville. That ought to be fun,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: but we'll have that coming up in hour number two.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: And the usual bells and whistles, if you're with us
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: on the overnight, we'll be here till the early morning hours,

  Speaker 1: We'll be here for you. We have Ask Ben in

• 3:46

• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Aspen in hour three, also fact or fiction, will be
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: coming your way down the line, down the line in
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: hour number four. You'll be long gone, like a house
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: by the side of the road by the time we
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: get down there. But our lead, don't bury the lead,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: my man, our lead this hour from the Bay Area.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: We have wide receiver Drama-O-Rama, a developing story. We continue
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: our in-depth team coverage. And it sounds much more dramatic
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: than it is. Brandon Iook. Yeah, I'm barely old enough
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: to remember when he was an NFL player. Well, he
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: has officially applied to be allowed back in. He wants
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: reinstatement into the cartel of football. And all plans in place,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: in place for Brandon Iook to report to the 49ers
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: electrical substation on Friday. That according to the newly hired agent,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Drew Rosenhaus, the super agent. Now currently Brandon Iok is
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: on the naughty list. He's on the reserve left squad
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: list and he's plotting, plotting to force his way onto
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: another NFL team. So if you've not heard the latest
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: on this, perhaps not Kyle Shanahan, the expert driver, Kyle
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Shanahan says that he is mentally moved on from Brandon Iyuk.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: In fact, just to prove that I'm not making this up,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: here is the 49ers coach giving his thoughts on the situation.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Take a listen. I can't clarify that.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: No.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know what clarify means. I'm trying to– or
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Sports Talk Radio? Yeah, Sports Talk Radio.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: What's your chance that Brandon Iyuk can.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Play for you?
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: There's no absolutes in life, so.
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: Other teams.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Sports radio. That's what we're doing. Sports talk. Good sports radio.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: It's a long question, sir. Hurry up. Chop, chop. Quick question, please.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: All right. He said no. Couldn't even hear the question.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: My God. Do I have to teach? Questions are supposed
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: to be quick. The longer the question, you give people
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: time to come up with an answer. My God. All right. Well, anyway,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Shanahan said he's moved on. You could hear some of that.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: And he has not ruled out a reunion. The relationship, obviously,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: rather toxic. As Brandon Ayuk said, let me ghost you.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: I don't want to talk to you anymore. That's it. Generally,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: people do not like being ghosted. All right, so that
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: How should the 49ers here, how should the 49ers handle
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Brandon Ayuk and his ploy to return in cahoots with
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Drew Rosenhaus? So I've got State Farm, Dogma, and we
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: also have Blue Ribbon Panel. We'll combine all of these
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: things together, and we are going to bang our head
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: against the walls, what we're going to do. So the
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: answer to this question, how should the 49ers handle Brandon
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Iook's ploy to return, this is an easy-peasy, lemon-squeezy situation.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Just contact the Vatican. The Pope's a U.S. guy, right?
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Chicago guy, San Francisco guy. But contact the Vatican, and
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: it's a roster transaction. It's called an excommunication transaction. So
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: have an excommunication proceeding. Brandon Iok has rediscovered his love
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: of football at precisely the moment, the word on the
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: street is, his financial situation, his bank accounts have developed
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: a hamstring injury. Now, there's a difference between betting on
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: yourself and setting fire to your own career. Yet, here
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: we are. Here we are. So this is the great
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: resurrection moment. They're hoping this is the greatest resurrection since Lazarus,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: except Lazarus did not have to hire Drew Rosenhaus to
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: negotiate a return. I don't remember reading about Lazarus hiring
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Drew Rosenhaus. Now, the 49ers already got the State Farm
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: discount double check, saving $ 27 million. And now Brandon Iook
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: wants the Jake from State Farm triple check. He's not
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: happy with the double check. He said, well, wait a minute.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Let me get some of my money back. Sorry, but
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Brandon Ioke is hereby banished from the Church of Shanahan,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: it would appear. The 49ers, as we pointed out, should
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: excommunicate him. They can sprinkle some holy water on the
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: contract and declare the building free of evil spirits and
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: move on. Hocus pocus. Send him a lovely fruit basket,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Brandon Ioke. Enjoy the fruit basket. There's some good strawberries
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: in there. Enjoy those. And pineapple. And thank him for
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: his service. He was supposed to thank you for being
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: a loser the last couple years. And then make sure
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: the security team there has the photograph of Brandon Iook.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: And then that's it. Now, page two. Keeping the theme
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: of the hour going. Keeping the theme of the hour
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: going here. So if John Lynch, the general manager, does
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: cut Brandon Iook before he even gets a chance to
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: return to the 49ers facility on Friday... Then things get
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: cranked up. The trade deadline is next week, and he
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: would be free in a couple of days to roam
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: around the NFL, assuming the league expedites his return. So
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: then what? Well, that brings us to another question. Why
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: would any NFL team trust the soon-to-be former 49er whiteout,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Brandon Ayuk, after his two-year sabbatical, otherwise known as a
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: disappearing act, From the 49ers. Well, the answer is rather clear.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: If you've paid any attention to the industrial complex of
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: professional sports over the years, then chances are you are
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: familiar with the fact that the NFL in many ways
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: is like Wall Street, except they wear shoulder pads. And
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Brandon Ioke is what's not. as a distressed asset. He
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: is a distressed asset, and those always attract, those distressed
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: assets always attract bargain hunters. The weasels on Wall Street,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: buy the dip, buy the dip. Well, this is quite
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: the dip. It's becoming a penny stock. And the other
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: thing is, obviously, the math isn't his favorite. He doesn't
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: need 32 teams to believe in him. All he needs
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: is one team, one desperate general manager with a short memory,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: and welcome to the NFL's greater fool theory, or in
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: this case, the greatest fool theory, right? The 49ers were
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: the original fools. They knew this guy was a bit
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: of a polarizing cat. They still gave him the contract.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: And now they're searching for an even bigger jackass to
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: take Brandon Ayuk off their hands if they do end
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: up trading him. Otherwise, somebody's going to have to sign him.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: But it's the ultimate scratch and dent special. The ultimate
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: scratch and dent special. The packaging is damaged. The warranty
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: is void. And somebody, you know, there's somebody out there
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: that still thinks the product works.
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: Why?
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Because the NFL executives have selective amnesia. You show them
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: a couple of seasons of good tape, and suddenly the
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: last two years become just some kind of clerical error.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: That's all it was. It was just a little paperwork snafu.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: They follow the dogma. The dogma of the NFL, never
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: give up on talent. Besides, if NFL executives stopped signing
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: guys that had a lot of baggage, half the league
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: would be working at Home Depot at this particular point.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: And the team that makes the most sense... The L.A.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Rams as the hypothetical landing spot as Devontae Adams out,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: likely for the rest of the year. The Rams are
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: trying to claim he'll come back. There's other people out
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: there saying, not so fast, my friend. So the Rams
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: don't have a lot at the wide receiver position. They're desperate.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: And Brandon Ayuk would become the boogeyman as the number
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: two wide receiver behind Puka Nakua.
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: Number two.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Go out to the... Seattle also needs some help, and
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: these teams are all like, well, yeah, that guy was
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: a knucklehead for you, but with us, he'll be much better.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: You were the problem, not him. No, no, no. And
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: if he went to the Rams, though, it would be
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: like the football equivalent of your ex-wife marrying your next-door
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: neighbor just to ruin your barbecue, or in this case,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan's barbecue. All right, last word. We go to
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Green Bay, the frozen tundra. Not frozen yet. Where Packers
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: running back Josh Jacobs is pushing back. Push it back now.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Push it back against the abuse allegations. There were some
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: more allegations last week or so. And he spoke with
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: the media insisting that much of what's being said about
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: him is completely bogus. It's false information. I'm surprised he
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: said that. I thought he would come out and say, oh, yeah,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: everything that's been said about me, 100% true. I'm a dirtbag.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: That's it. He didn't say that, though. Jacobs had previously
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges involving a former girlfriend,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: and he got dinged. Not one, not two, not three,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: not four, not five, but six games on the commissioner's
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: naughty list. Six games he was out, and that's it.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Get out of here for those six games. So he
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: missed those, and now here we are, his attorneys disputing
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: the newest accusers, which are from years ago, the NFL,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: the Keystone Cops continue to investigate. That goes on and
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: on and on. Now, meanwhile, speculation about Green Bay going
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: to the market and trying to buy a running back
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: at the trade deadline, namely Jonathan Taylor, that's bouncing around
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: the echo chamber because of the uncertainty. around Josh Jacobs.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Now the question, where are you at on Josh Jacobs'
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: latest statement on his legal brouhaha out of Green Bay?
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: So where are you at on this? So you don't
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: have to believe every allegation. How would I know? I
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: don't know if these people are speaking the truth or not.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: You can accuse anyone of anything. It doesn't mean that
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: you're accurate. So it's just an accusation. So I don't know.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Whether to believe it or not, because I don't know
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: if it's true or not, I am able to recognize, though,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: that Josh Jacobs has the public relations instinct of a
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: raccoon trapped inside a Waffle House kitchen. All right, the
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: scrutiny that he's facing, and Jacobs is trying to put
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: out what is a public relations wildfire with a super soaker,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: which would be fine, wouldn't be a problem, if the
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: super soaker wasn't filled with unleaded gasoline. That appears to
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: be a problem. Case in point, the now infamous touchdown celebration,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: the handcuff celebration, which was a masterpiece by Josh Jacobs
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: in capital S stupidity. You could not script a more
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: tone deaf moment if you hired a blue ribbon panel
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: of professional idiots. they would not be able to come
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: up with anything quite like what Josh Jacobs did. In fact,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: it was so stupid, you thought it was satire. You
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: thought it might be, like, I saw the clip online.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: I thought, well, maybe this is AI. Back in the
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: old days, there was a script. There used to be
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: a show that used to be popular called Saturday Night Live.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's still on anymore. But people
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: used to say, well, that's something you'd see on Saturday
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Night Live. But he actually did it. He did a
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: mock touchdown celebration of handcuffs. And then, of course, lied
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: about it after the game. And it's just outstanding. It's
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: just outstanding. It's like if you got audited by the
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: IRS and you celebrated by pretending to shred tax returns.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: An obtuse display from Josh Jacobs. Listen, he's gone through
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: some goodwill here. There's some goodwill he's gone through. Now,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Green Bay management is conducting the oldest arithmetic in professional
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: sports ever. Is the juice worth the public relations squeeze? Meaning, ergo,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: if you're Green Bay, are you better off keeping Josh
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Jacobs and seeing how this goes? And I know we've
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: got a lot of Packer owners that love this show.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know that we can say it any other
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: way than that. A bunch of people that own the
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers over the years have been fans of
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: the show. And so you make the call. You own
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers. Do you hold on to Josh Jacobs?
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Do you release Josh Jacobs, but then you have to
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: trade for a running back? What do you do? What
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: do you do? I would just trade for some. Running
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: backs are easy to get. Just make a deal. The
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: trade deadline's coming up in a few days. Just make
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: a deal. That's it. But in an NFL where the
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: discipline ranges from TSA pre-check to full-body cavity searches, the
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers, the executives there, are doing basic math.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: How many... touchdowns how many big runs does josh jacobs
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: have left and does that outweigh the quagmire of the
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: situation because let's say the nfl investigates and finds out
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: that there's nothing going on here with these latest accusations Okay, fine.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Two days from now, there's another crop of women that
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: pop up and say, hey, what about me?
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: What about me?
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: All right, it is the Ben Maller Show. If you
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: would like to be part of the program, we are
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: opening up the phone lines right now at 877-99 on Fox.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: That's 877-996-6369. Also on X at Ben Maller. That's at

  Speaker 1: Ben Maller. If you'd like to be part of the program,

• 18:13
  Speaker 1: coming up later on. Ask Ben coming up later on.

  Speaker 1: Ask Ben. And we'll take your comments and all that
• 18:22

• 18:27
  Speaker 1: the big show. And again, 877-99 on Fox, 877-996-6369. So
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, you were a top 10
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: pick in the NFL draft. And now people are questioning
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: whether you even have a future in the NFL. That's
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: how bad things have gotten for a former top 10 pick.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: And all you people that you know who you are,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: you worship the NFL draft. You tell me how sexy
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: it is and how great it is. Well, Not going
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: so great for a top ten pick who got a
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: lot of razzle-dazzle associated with his name. We'll get to that,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: and we will do it next.

  Speaker 7: Continuity is very important but what happens when you get
• 20:00
  Speaker 7: good coaches on your staff and people begin to recognize
• 20:03
  Speaker 7: them then they want to hire them and then you
• 20:07
  Speaker 7: can't stop a guy from trying to improve himself but
• 20:10
  Speaker 7: you have to replace.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: Them Because once you understand what's going on inside the
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: mind of the coaches, you'll understand more about the whole game.
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: So all aspects can be discussed. The only thing I
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: haven't done, because I didn't have enough money, I don't

• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Benny versus the Penny. But the Mallard Militia always with
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: a lot to say. Some of it actually worthy of
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: being mentioned on the air. And the knuckleheads ready to go.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Ready to go here. And let's see. We'll go page down.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: Page down. Page down. Can't read that. All right, let's
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: see here. The Baltimore Freeloader account writes in, says, Big
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Night in Charm City. We have ourselves an island game.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Not expecting it to be close, but what I do
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: expect are some nice appetizers, take-home candy, and free dinner,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: along with lopsided football. And I know two things. The
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Jags will easily win, and in 24 hours you'll talk
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: about it. Probably. Probably. Probably. Not bad. Dread Pie writes in, says,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Tommy Boy said it best. You put beep on a
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: box and slap a warranty on it, but it's still beep. See,
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: maybe this is what Drew Rosenhaus is going to have
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: to do with Brandon Iogard. So that was a Dread
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Pie was saying Tommy Boy, and then he gave the quote,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: and then I mentioned Drew Rosenhaus and the whole thing.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: King Roy says, believe it or not, SNL's still on
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: the air, but I don't watch it. He says, too
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: woke for my liking. I only know SNL is still
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: on because the World Series champion Milwaukee Brewers were on there. Well,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: good for them. Good for them. What else do we have?
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: Let's see.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Page down. We'll skip over that one. Let's see. Can't
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: see that. The Bo Nix people were upset when I
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: said he was an arsonist. They were getting upset with me.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: We're on next. At Ben Maller. You can join the
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Maller Militia that way. We'll take some phone calls here
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: momentarily at 877-99 on Fox. Also, a former top ten
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: pick who many felt was guaranteed to be a superstar.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: Just a couple years later, not a superstar. And there
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: are legitimate questions about whether or not there is a
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: future in the NFL for this particular player. And who
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: is it? What is it all about? We'll get to
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: that coming up in a couple of minutes. And let's
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: see here. Eeny, meeny, miny, moe. Let's say hello to...
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Blind Scott, who's on the north end
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: of Boston. Hello, Blind Scott in the leadoff chair.
• 24:50
  Speaker 8: Hey, what's happening? I got an update on Mike Vrabel.
• 24:53
  Speaker 8: I haven't watched any NFL football this year because I'm blind.
• 24:56
  Speaker 8: Mike Vrabel enjoys restaurants around.
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: Patriot's Place this season.
• 25:00
  Speaker 8: They've got a lot of good restaurants. Bob Kraft got
• 25:03
  Speaker 8: nominated to a contributor role in the Hall of Fame.
• 25:06
  Speaker 8: He wants to get voted in. So one of the
• 25:08
  Speaker 8: things Mike Vrabel said was he really built up that
• 25:11
  Speaker 8: Patriot's Place in Foxborough, you know, that dump down in
• 25:15
  Speaker 8: South Coast, Massachusetts. No one would ever live there. It's
• 25:19
  Speaker 8: on old farmland. It's impossible to get to. You could
• 25:23
  Speaker 8: go to MetLife quicker than you could go to Patriot Stadium.
• 25:27
  Speaker 8: The Patriots, they couldn't build a stadium in South Boston
• 25:30
  Speaker 8: because we didn't want the stadium in South Boston because
• 25:33
  Speaker 8: Boston is such a small city. It's a city built
• 25:36
  Speaker 8: on wetlands. It's a tiny city like the Boston radio
• 25:39
  Speaker 8: market is really. It's actually kind of small. But the
• 25:42
  Speaker 8: fans here are so hardcore because they're in their cars
• 25:45
  Speaker 8: all the time. It takes two minutes to drive. It
• 25:47
  Speaker 8: takes two hours to drive 20 minutes at the height
• 25:50
  Speaker 8: of rush hour five miles across Boston.
• 25:52
  Speaker 6: Right, Ben?
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: I feel like you're right. Well, their traffic is bad, yes.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: And you're underground because you have the tunnel system and
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: all that. Yeah, well, I'm.
• 25:59
  Speaker 8: Trying to stay away from that Saturday Night Live comment
• 26:02
  Speaker 8: where we take attack at theater arts. Dude, liberal arts.
• 26:05
  Speaker 8: Liberal arts are under attack by the far right in
• 26:08
  Speaker 8: this country because of douchebags like you.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Is that right, Scott? Thank you. I didn't know Scott
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: was a fan of Saturday Night Live. He must be
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: the only person watching it, apparently, I guess. All right.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: I'm so glad we took that call. Let's make sure
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: we wash our mouth out from that halitosis of that lunatic.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: And let's say hello to... Let's go to Hollering James
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: from one lunatic to another. Hello, Hollering James in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: Okay, Ben. Let's start this off right. I believe Blind
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: Scott's an idiot.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: Okay, thank you. I'm going to try to forget that call.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: That was my mistake. I try not to take his calls,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: and I did, and I screwed that up. That's a
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: bad job by me.
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: Hey, Ben, you know what else? I would like to
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: say to Lorena, I'm sincerely apologizing to you for being
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: stupid and so narrow-minded.
• 27:05
  Speaker 7: What?
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: We appreciate your apology.
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: Thank you. Do you accept it? Yes, but don't do that.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: She told me... Now, Holler and James, she told me
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: she wants you to wash your mouth out with soap
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: and water. Then we're good.
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: I did.
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: Listerine.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: No, that's not... Listerine is not soap and water. No, no,
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: soap and water.
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: Listerine is not soap.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: You have to put.
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: An actual bar of soap in your mouth like they
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: do in the Christmas movie. You know the one?
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: I did. I bit it off.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: What?
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: You bit your tongue off? I bit it off. What
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: are you talking about? What did you bite? The soap?
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: I turned into a vampire and I bit off the
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: bar of soap. And used the stirring to gargle my mouth. Yes,
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: I did.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: All right. Is that it? You apologize? We can move
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: on now? We're good?
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: No, no, no.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: I can't move on? Hey, what's coming up here in
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: week nine? Do you know what's coming up in week nine?
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the game of the week.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: What is the game of the week?
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: I believe it's going to be on show, Fox 9,
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: our station. And I believe it will be the Minnesota
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: Vikings against... against the Chicago Bears.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: All right, well, you're wrong. It turns out, I'm glad
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: I asked you and you didn't know because I guess
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: I needed to spot more. NFL Week 9 is here,
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: hollering James, and the Packers versus the Patriots is Sunday's
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: America's Game of the Week streaming live on Fox 1.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: How impressive is that? Pretty impressive, right? Is Steve Grogan
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: going to play? Oh, my God. If you miss it
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: live and you're just watching a highlight catch every play
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: as it happens, Packers-Patriots live on Fox 1. And, you know,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Tom Brady's going to walk back in the stadium there.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: That's a Tom Brady return gift.
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: He's going to give the Patriots all the best of
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: luck he can with his adorable wife that's going to
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: divorce him.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: Well, he's already, this just ends, he already got divorced,
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Hollering James. He's already got divorced.
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: They're having marital problems, Ben. Unlike you, you had a
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: solidarity relationship.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: With me and your wife.
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: We won't talk about wives because I don't want to
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: get slapped.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: I know, you will get slapped, absolutely. Absolutely. of course.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: If I had that kind of money, Tom Brady has.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: You might chop-lock me. I would chop-lock you. I'd kick
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: you in the nuts is what I would do. Right there,
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: right to the nuts. That's a low blow! FergDog writes in, says,
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Hollering James is a good man. That was very big
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: of him to apologize. So you got it endorsed by
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Ferg Dog, who also says you can get a good look.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: He says you can get a good look at a
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: T-bone by sticking your head up a bull's tuchus. But
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: I'd rather take a butcher's word for it. That's another
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: great Tommy Boy line. Are we just doing Tommy Boy quotes?
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: Is that what we're going to do? Michael in Tulsa
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: writes in and says, I'm still talking, James. Great monologue,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: but I could not help but think what the curmudgeon
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: would complain about. Oh, yeah, curmudgeon Wayne is complaining because
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: the rundown is up. This guy, can you go up
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: to Duluth, James, and slap curmudgeon Wayne for me?
• 30:39
  Speaker 8: No, I can't move to Duluth.
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: It's too cold and snowy there.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: It's not that far away from you, though. It's a
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: few hours. It ain't far away.
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: It ain't far away.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: It's not that far. I drove there. It's not that far.
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: This Michigan boy needs to stay right here in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: All right, James. Thank you so much. All right. You've
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: had way too much time. I'm going to hang up
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: on you. Thank you. It's not you, James. It's you.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: That's the story. Not you. It's you. All right. Two
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: great calls to start out the show.
• 31:14
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: We might have to shut the phones down. We might
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: have to do caller-free radio. Maybe we should do newbie
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: night for like a week straight. A week. A newbie week.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: That would be nice. That would be nice. That bad taste.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: The whole show's going to suck because of that loser
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: from Boston, Scott. It's all over. Raiders coach Clint Kubiak
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: denying media speculation that the future is bleak for Ashton Genting,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: the running back who was taken in the top ten
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: of the draft a couple years ago and is the
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: worst-ranked running back in the NFL, according to EPA. and
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: value added and all that stuff. He's been terrible. He
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: was almost completely out of the game plan against the Jets.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: A dramatically reduced workload. Jenty had two carries for nine
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: yards in the Raiders game against the Jets. He has
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: been Upstaged by rookie Michael Washington Jr. Mike Washington, who
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: had 25 carries. He was the lead back for the Raiders.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: And Ashton Gentry has run for just 337 yards and
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: one touchdown through eight games. I didn't play running back
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: in the NFL, but I'm told that's not good. I'm
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: told that's not good. 3.1 yards per carry. And the
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: popular opinion by popular people is that that was not
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: an unintentional act by Clint Kubiak. The Raiders were attempting
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: to send a message. to Ashton Gentry that even though
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: you were the sixth overall pick in the 2025 NFL
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: draft and you were supposed to become a cornerstone of
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: the Raiders franchise, you suck and we can play somebody
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: else because you're a bum. That's it. And that was
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: a Tom Brady-endorsed pick. And does anyone believe, Kubiak, the
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: future is bright just days after you benched essentially your
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: running back? And against the Jets. That's a team you
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: usually fatten up with, the Jets. And Ashton Gentry is
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: officially entered. The land, if you look at the signpost
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: up ahead, it's called Bustville. And it's a little town, Bustville, USA.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: And he's entered Bustville, USA. Now, he's not officially a
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: resident of Bustville. However, he is looking around, looking for places,
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: checking out real estate, looking at some of the restaurants
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: in Bustville. And this is not a sophomore slump. This
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: is just a guy not necessarily good. So the Raiders
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: are hoping that wake-up call and that that'll be enough.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Or do they have to publicly humiliate Ashton Jenner? Because
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: even though they benched him, they didn't admit to benching him.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: The full public humiliation would be to bench him and
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: say we're benching him, and the Raiders didn't have the
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: balls to do that. They chose not to go down
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: that road. But if you spend the sixth pick in
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: the draft on a running back, and you all tell
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: me how important those draft picks are, and then you
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: treat that guy like the sixth option at a buffet...
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: What does that say? I mean, man, he's going to
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: get hemorrhoids there on the bench. And Kubiak just giving
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: you the corporate bull crap. And we believe in his future. Well,
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: you don't believe in his present because you didn't play him.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: Another blue chip draft pick in the NFL who's currently
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: heading towards penny stock territory. He's losing a lot of value,
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: kind of like the Reddit of the running back world.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: It is the Ben Maller Show. We've got straight ahead
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: the Who Am I game. We'll take some more of
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: these calls at 877-99 on Fox. That's 877-996-6369. Time now, though,
