  Speaker 1: day of October, the final Monday before Halloween. We start
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: out in Sin City. As the Rams get a win
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: over the Raiders, does this count as a, quote, statement
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: win for Matthew Stafford and the Rams? The media, some,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: saying that's the case. Also, how is the MVP campaign
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: going for 49er quarterback Brock Purdy after a wretched performance
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: against the Atlanta Falcons? And without Lamar Jackson, are the
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Ravens already out? of the AFC North race. They lose
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: another divisional game, blowing yet another lead. We'll talk about

  Speaker 1: that and more right now. Also, Mallard to the third degree.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Here we go. It's our number two. Well, it turns
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: out the reports of the Rams' death have been greatly exaggerated.

  Speaker 1: So our lead this hour. Don't bury the lead, my man.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: We go to Sin City, Lost Wages, Nevada, where they've
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: never experienced good football. No, they have not. The hockey
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: team wins every once in a while in Vegas. The
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: football team, there she blows. At it again. At it again.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: The Rams in town. I don't know if you saw
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: this game or not. Part of the Fox Sports Radio
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Alumni Association. Chris Myers had the call on Fox. So
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford and the Rams left for dead. All the
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: injuries piling up. Miles Garrett only playing one game. He's out.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Puka Nakua got hurt on Friday. He ended up playing
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: in the game. The Rams, would they be able to
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: survive in Vegas? Well... Yeah, they did. Matthew Stafford, 195 yards,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: not one, not two, but three touchdown passes, and he
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: became the L.A. Rams career leader in passing touchdowns as
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles beat the snot out of those pathetic Raiders
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: 35-21 on Sunday. So if you didn't see it, you
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: missed some of the activity there. Matthew Stafford. Has one
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: of the quirkiest stats that will be almost impossible to
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: duplicate anytime soon in our lifetime. Matthew Stafford is now
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the Rams and the Detroit Lions all-time career leader in
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: passing touchdowns. There's only 32 touchdowns. of these teams, and
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford is leading two of them, and neither one
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: of them is an expansion team. It's not like the
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Houston Texans or the Jacksonville Jaguars. No, no, the last
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: couple of expansion teams years ago, these teams have been
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: around for a while. Lions have been around for a long,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: long time. So have the Rams. And yet, you look
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: at it, and Matthew Stafford, the king, the L.A. Rams
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: career leader in passing touchdowns, also the Detroit Lions career leader, Now,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: the headline, I want to react to the headline here
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: that's bouncing around. The New York Post, I guess they've
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: got the California Post now. I don't know anyone that
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: reads that, but they get a couple of newspapers. They claim,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: big headline here, the claim was that this was a, quote,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: statement win. Statement win for Sean McVay's team. So the question, does,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: we'll keep it simple. It's a good jumping off point.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Let us discuss. The question, does this count as a, quote,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: statement win for Matthew Stafford and the Rams? So my observations,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I've got inflatable palm trees, campaign bus, and Chef Boyardee.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: And we will combine all of these things together, and
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: we'll give you the ABCs and the 1-2-3s. All right. Now,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: number one.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Number one. One, one, one, one.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Number one.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I said number one.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: One, one, one, one.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Number one. Two words. No way. Those are the words.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: No way. Stafford. was not exactly climbing Mount Everest in
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: this particular game. He was not. He was like taking
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: an escalator across the street from us at the Sherman
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Oaks Galleria is what he was doing. Okay, that's it.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: To quote the Pepsi principle, for the Rams, this game
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: was the Pepsi principle. What is the Pepsi principle? It's
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: a gotta-have-it-win game. Not a gotta brag about it win.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: There is a difference. You gotta have it, but you
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: don't have to brag about it. You don't gotta brag
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: about it. The Rams did not go out and slay
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: a dragon. They beat a tomato can. That should not
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: be newsworthy. The fact that you lost.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: To a pathetic Cardinal team the week prior, that's the story.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: So as we say, the dog bites man, not a story.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Man bites dog, that's a story. So they stepped on
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: a cockroach that was already upside down. There's one in
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: here right now. That's what the Rams do. They're just
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: like that. They beat them like that. And let's face it,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: the Raiders, remember they were 3-0. We tried to tell you. Oh,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: you're just the overnight guy. You don't know what you're
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: talking about, Maller.
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: So the Raiders. Celebrate a win against the Raiders. That's
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: got to be about as pathetic as it gets. The
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Raiders at one point, though, they were 3-0. And they
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: had more props propping them up than a carrot top
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: show in Vegas. Smoked machines over to the right, trap
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: doors underneath. They had inflatable palm trees. The whole production.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: To get off to that 3-0 start. The Silver and Black. Now,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: for those of you that have forgotten, the Raiders, when
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: they were 3-0, they had beaten the Dolphins, Chargers, and
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Saints to begin the season. Those teams have a combined
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: 3-16 record. That is a 158 winning percentage. And yet,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: this is how pathetic that franchise fan base is. The
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Raider fanboys were celebrating. Now, we tried to be the
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: voice of reason. They were having none of it. Oh,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: you don't know what you're talking about. Oh my God.
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Losers.
• 9:30
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: The Raiders early record was obviously inflated like those inflatable
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: palm trees against the very weak competition. The market correction
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: was inevitable and here it is. And so yeah, Sean
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: McVay's dinged up Ram squad just confirmed what anyone with
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: two working eyeballs already knew. It's not about the Rams.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: The Raiders stink. And now they're talking about just giving
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: up on the season and playing that defensively. quarterback, Fernando Mendoza,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: and playing him. They're getting ready to bench. There's chatter
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: about benching Kirk Cousins. All right, meanwhile, to Atlanta we go,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: where Michael Penix Jr. threw not one, not two, but
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: three touchdowns in Atlanta. taking advantage of the very generous
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: 49er team as the Niners. Most games are lost, not won.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: The Niners gave that game away. Four turnovers. Atlanta scored
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: 13 points, courtesy of the generosity of San Francisco. And
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: so the Falcons get a legitimate win. 29-20 the final,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: and the previous unbeaten.
• 10:42
  Speaker 8: 49ers win.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: At 6-1 now, and they had committed just six turnovers
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: the previous six games, and now they turn the ball
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: over four times in this game. And already thin at receiver,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: they lost Christian McCaffrey for much of the first half.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: There's varying reports about how bad his injury is going
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: to be going forward for the 49ers. But either way,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: the question, let's look at the quarterback position. We had
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: some people chiming in this past week talking about how
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: the 49ers had an MVP quarterback. So let's address that.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: So the question, how is the MVP campaign going for
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy following the loss to the Falcons?
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: So let's see. Let's try to think. What did we
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: tell you in a previous episode of the Ben Maller Show?
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: What did we say?
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: Hmm.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: What did we talk about Brock Purdy? Do you remember?
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Do you want to go back and check your notes?
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: You don't take any notes? All right, that's fine. That's fine.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: So the MVP coronation of Brock Purdy, well, that was
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: a wee bit, just a wee bit premature, just a
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: little premature. It's a little bit. So it appears our
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: skepticism was more than justified here as Purdy went out
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: there and rode the Vomit Comet Couple of interceptions, no
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: touchdown passes, and enough sloppy football to fill a landfill
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: somewhere outside of Atlanta. So Brock Purdy, that's more of
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: what we thought. This guy's a system quarterback. That's fine.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Makes a lot of money. System quarterback guy. And you
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: have to prove that you can overcome when things aren't
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: going well, and very rarely does Brock Purdy do that.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: MVP quarterbacks, as a rule, elevate their teams. When everything's
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: going sideways, they make a couple of plays to win
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: the game. Brock Purdy, you're not that guy, pal. You're
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: not that guy. You're not that guy. Things go sideways there.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: And the 49ers played like somebody put sweet tea in
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: their Gatorade bottles. It was a hot mess for the Niners.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: But Brock Purdy, you're supposed to be the calming force,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: the force multiplier and all that. You were not that.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: And here's Brock Purdy blaming his teammates. Take a listen.
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: They're new guys and stuff, so it's like, yeah, you've
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: got to learn how they run routes and how they
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: play and stuff. For sure, that's a real thing. But
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: I think just with our preparation and how Kyle goes
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: about the week with getting us ready as an offense
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: and stuff, I think it's pretty not easy, but he
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: makes it pretty smooth for these guys to come in
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: and learn what they need to do and be on
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: time and all that kind of thing.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, sounds like he's blaming other people. The campaign bus.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: We looked, actually. There's a big sign on the side
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: that says the Brock Purdy campaign bus there for MVP.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: It actually hit a pothole out in the sticks outside
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Atlanta there in Georgia, and one of the wheels fell
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: off on the campaign bus there. So that's not good.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: And the driver's actually blaming the electrical substation, the driver
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: of the campaign bus for Brock Purdy. Well, it's not
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: his fault. It's the electrical substation's fault.
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Now, I'm not going to sit here and say Brock
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Purdy's eliminated from MVP conversation. I'm not saying that. However,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: the campaign headquarters for the Brock Purdy MVP campaign, turn
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: out the lights. They're going on holiday right now. They're
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: going on a little holiday. That's it. So the MVP
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: candidacy for Brock Purdy downgraded. I will give him Employee
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: of the Month. See, I'm Benny Brightside, Brock Purdy, Employee
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: of the Month. Way to go, Brock. You get a
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: gift certificate for a yogurt, a nice yogurt. Enjoy that.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Enjoy that. Employee of the Month. So the 49ers play
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: the way they played on Sunday, as we often say here.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Should have been sponsored by Tide. Because everything needs to
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: be cleaned up there. That was El Stinko for the Niners.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Brock Purdy, he's the face of the franchise, y'all. Tell
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: me that. Face of the franchise. Didn't go so well.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: All right, final point. Speaking of not going well, to
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Baltimore for the hometown team. and nobody gags up more
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: leads than Baltimore. Did it again. Joe Burrow had not one,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: not two, not three, but four touchdowns as Cincinnati rallied
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: down 13-0 at halftime, and they ended up bringing the
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: hammer to the once-proud Baltimore franchise, 35-13.
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: 35-13.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: The Bengals scored touchdowns on their first five or the, yeah,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: it was the first five second half positions. Touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown. However,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: the better story is in the losing locker room where
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens are down and out at this point here.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: The Ravens, without Lamar Jackson, dropped to 4-3 on the season.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: They blew a double-digit second-half lead for the second consecutive
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: week and the 10th time since 2022. They lead the
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: way in gagging up games. The Baltimore football team, the Ravens,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: second consecutive divisional loss now for Baltimore. And another spectacular
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: choke job in the second half. Same old story. The
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: coaches have changed. The players have changed. The common denominator
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: is what the Ravens do in these spots. So the question,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: without Lamar Jackson, are the Ravens already out of the
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: AFC North race? Back-to-back division losses for the Baltimore football team.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to nod my head yes, because it
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: doesn't seem like Lamar Jackson is going to be playing
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: all that much. Now, they say he may come back
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: in the next Ravens game, and even if he does
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: come back, do you trust that he'll be out there?
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Lamar does not have a contract past this particular season,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: so you wonder how motivated he's going to be to
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: get back out there. Let's wait another extra week here.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: I want to make sure I'm all the way Yes,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: that's what I want to do. And no one can
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: question this. You're not allowed. It's taboo to question that.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: So mathematically, the Ravens are not out of any kind
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: of a race, but realistically, the division is on life support.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: You lose back-to-back divisional games. And the Ravens have gone
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: from Edgar Allen Poe to Edgar Allen No. Real quick,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: without Lamar Jackson, Baltimore's offense, with Tyler Huntley serving up
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: a bowl of Chef Boyardee, They've got the mini spaghetti rings,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: and that's it. No meatballs, no spice, no explosiveness. None
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: of that stuff. And just a bunch of checkdowns floating
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: around in tomato sauce. And it's like a cheesy spinoff
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: movie for the Ravens. You've got Honey, I Shrunk the
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Offense starring Tyler Huntley. Way to go. Now, where's my evidence?
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: I'll give you my evidence. In 14 quarters with Lamar Jackson.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: When he's played, the Ravens have scored 116 points and
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: 14 offensive touchdowns. When Lamar has been out 14 quarters
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: with Tyler Huntley, Baltimore has scored just 53 points and
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: five touchdowns. For those of you not really keeping track
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: because you're doing something else. That means with Tyler Huntley
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: instead of Lamar Jackson, the Ravens offense is measurably worse.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: How much worse? 54.3% less productive in terms of points
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: scored for the Ravens offense from Lamar Jackson to Tyler Huntley.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: And in terms of touchdowns, they're 64% worse side by side.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: So that is what happens when your entire offensive identity,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: everything that you are, the ethos of the Ravens, is
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: dependent on one guy staying healthy. That's it. That's all.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Lamar is the guy running the fireworks factory in Maryland,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: and Tyler Huntley operating a discount candle shop. And that's
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: the difference. It is the Ben Maller Show. If you

  Speaker 3: Welcome to Football Doesn't Lie.
• 20:14
  Speaker 9: Hi, I'm Bill Parcells.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: And I'm Catherine Zazzora.
• 20:18
  Speaker 9: I have a lot of experience in the game of football, Catherine.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: And I'm learning the game with Bill's help. Every week,
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: we're going to talk about the NFL slate through the
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: lens of Bill's expertise as he coaches me from novice
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: fan to football expert over the course of the season.
• 20:32
  Speaker 9: You know, I'm looking forward to this show, Catherine, and
• 20:35
  Speaker 9: hopefully we can give our audience a little in-depth look
• 20:38
  Speaker 9: into the inner sanctum of pro football that they can't
• 20:41
  Speaker 9: get anywhere else.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: Tune in every Thursday for unfiltered stories from Coach Parcells,
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: analysis on the state of the modern game, and education
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: on how football really works.
• 20:51
  Speaker 7: Continuity is very important but what happens when you get
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: good coaches on your staff and people begin to recognize
• 20:59
  Speaker 7: them then they want to hire them and then you
• 21:02
  Speaker 7: can't stop a guy from trying to improve himself but
• 21:05
  Speaker 7: you have to replace.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: Them Because once you understand what's going on inside the
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: mind of the coaches, you'll understand more about the whole game.
• 21:13
  Speaker 9: So all aspects can be discussed. The only thing I
• 21:16
  Speaker 9: haven't done, because I didn't have enough money, I don't
• 21:20
  Speaker 9: own the team. I never owned a team.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: Listen to Football Doesn't Lie on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: or wherever you get your podcasts.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Got a bad case of those Mondays. It is the
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Ben Maller Show on Fox Sports Radio. As we continue on,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: thank you for making this part of your life. No, seriously,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Now, if you would like to support
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: the show, you can participate. You do not have to.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: We're fine without your participation. However, it makes it more
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: fun when we get some different people in here. So
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: say hello on the phones, 877-99-ON-FOX. That's 877-996-6369. Also, on
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: the X Machine, at Ben Maller. That's at Ben Maller.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: You can say hello to Lorena. It's almost her birthday tomorrow.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Not Monday. Tuesday. Tuesday is her birthday. I can't believe
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: it's tomorrow. Will you be calling in sick for your birthday? No.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: You will not? I called in sick today.
• 22:33
  Speaker 10: Interesting.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: I had a migraine. I understand. Did you take some Advil?
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Ibuprofen? It might have saved my life. Okay. Say hello
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: to Lorena, FSR Tech Queen, and Koopa Loop at, uh,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Bronco Fan. That's, uh, Bronco Fan. Your comments can and
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: will be used against you in the court of the
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Mallard Militia. Thank you. The retired caller marked the full
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: name guy who could not handle the pressure of calling
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: on a regular basis to talk radio. So he retired
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: from calling in, but he's yelling in all caps on
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: X about sycophants, doppelgangers. De Sager's statistical anomalies, all this
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: random stuff from Mark, the mind of Mark, the full
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: name guy. He's talking about a team that sucked for
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: over two decades. That would be the Raiders. The greatest.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at my board. I do not see one
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Raider fan. I thought Raider fans were tough. I thought
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Raider fans would call up and defend the honor of
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: their team, but apparently not. Apparently they're frontrunner frauds. They
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: only call up when their team wins a few against
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: tomato cans, and then when they start playing like the
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: real team we knew they would be, they run and hide. Interesting. Interesting.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Isn't that special? Isn't that special? All right, what else
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: do we have? Eileen blaming the stupid substation. Jerry in
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: a jar says, I'm not sure who should be fired first.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Matt LeFleur says, Or dummy Dan Campbell for going for
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: it on fourth and one on their own 20-yard line.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: That bonehead will never learn. Well, Dan Campbell, Jerry Najjar,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: appears to have been taken somewhere and reprogrammed by the nerds.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: He's a meathead guy. We all know Dan Campbell to
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: be a loving meathead guy. However, when it comes to
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: listening to the analytics, he always goes for it. He
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: always goes for the analytics. It's wild. Josh says, if
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: the Lions had lost that game on that idiotic fourth
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: down call, does Dan Campbell get fired? He says, also,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: happy early birthday to Lorena. Nah, Dan Campbell's not getting fired.
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Because then who are they going to bring back? Is
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Wayne Font still alive? Are they going to bring Wayne
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Font back? Let's go to the phones. Let's say hello
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: to Mike, who's in Green Bay, and he's on the
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: Ben Maller Show on Fox. Hello, Mike.
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: Welcome.
• 25:15
  Speaker 6: Hey, how's it going?
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: If I was any better, I'd be love, but not
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: Jordan love.
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: Yeah, we're not having a real good time up here
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: in Green Bay tonight.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and what's the mood? Give me the mood, pulse
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: of the people.
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: I mean, I was bartending tonight, and it was pretty somber.
• 25:31
  Speaker 10: I got it in.
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: Halftime, and people seemed pretty disinterested between the missed field
• 25:38
  Speaker 6: goals and the outrageous penalty calls.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Jordan Love is not terrible. He's just not as
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: good as they thought he would be. He's somewhere, he's
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: just kind of near the middle, the lower end of
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: the middle.
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: I think that's unfair. I think we've seen what he
• 25:57
  Speaker 6: can produce when things are right.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: But that's not how you judge a quarterback. When things
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: are right, anyone looks good. It's when things aren't right.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: That's how you judge a quarterback. It's not when the
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: offensive line's perfect and the receivers are great and everything's wonderful.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Anybody can do that. These guys are all like the
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: top player in their Pop Warner team and high school
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: team and college team. It's what happens when things aren't
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: going right. And Jordan Love gets exposed every time. He's
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: only good when everything's great around him.
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: I think you have to look at the Vikings then.
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: That quarterback situation is still bad. Kyler Murray is still
• 26:35
  Speaker 6: not good. But yet the team is perfect.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't think I've stared at that quarterback. But
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: their offense is terrible. They're not going to win anything.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: It's not sustainable, the Vikings. They can't win with that offense.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: They're going to lose because at some point their defense
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: is not going to play well in the playoffs, and
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: they're going to need some offense, and Kyler Murray is
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: unable to do it. The guy sucks. Now, if they
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: need him to win a video game tournament, they're in
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: pretty good shape. To win a football game, that's a problem.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: And no, I mean, listen, the Vikings, yeah, they're the
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: last undefeated team. Do you think the Vikings, like anybody
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: going against the Vikings, oh my God, we can't, we
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: can't beat them. No, because you know it'll be a
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: low scoring game because their defense will be good and
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: the Viking offense sucks. So you're going to have a
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: chance to beat them every single time.
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: Didn't the Ravens win with a pretty terrible offense? They
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: took it all the way when they had a great
• 27:23
  Speaker 6: defense back in with Trent Dilfer and Ray Lewis.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: That's a long time ago, though.
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: It's possible, but we've seen good defenses carry teams like this,
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: and it can be sustainable. It shouldn't be, but it
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: can be.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Well, if you were betting, would you bet on that
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: working or against that working?
• 27:42
  Speaker 6: Against, of course.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: I know, right? Yeah, exactly. I mean, so anything could work, right?
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: There are teams. Remember the Rams, the greatest show on turf.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: They had a terrible defense. They won the Super Bowl
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: one year years ago. And you're supposed to have a
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: decent defense. Every once in a while, yeah, there's an
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: exception to the rule. All right, so are you in
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Green Bay or are you in Appleton? Where are you at?
• 28:02
  Speaker 6: I'm in Green Bay.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: Okay. My brother lives over in Appleton, so that's why
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: I was asking. Oh, nice.
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there you go.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: All right, well, thank you. Thanks, Mike. Appreciate that.
• 28:08
  Speaker 7: There you go.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: This is Mike the bartender from Green Bay. That's good, though,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: if you're a bartender and people are in kind of
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: a bum-out mood, then drink more. It's wonderful. It's good
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: for business.
• 28:20
  Speaker 8: Absolutely.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. All right. OG Art Puffin says, Big Ben, I
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: love the hour two monologue. The analogies are undefeated. The
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: Niners playing with their food in the second half is
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: the new Niner narrative. What else do we have? Let's
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: see here. Can't read that. Let's go back to the phones.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Let's say hello. There is a cosmic event which is
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: in play right now. And if you look up, and
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: I saw this over the weekend, I looked up to
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: the sky, and I saw this giant, giant thing in
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: the sky what was it a ufo no it was
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: not a ufo it was the moon and let's go
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: to our astrology insider nobody else has this the astrology
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: inside let's find out what cosmic events are taking place
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: right now because it's not just the full moon i
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: understand Sources tell me there's something else going on, and
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: let's get to the bottom of it. Forget Adam Schefter
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: or Sham Sharania. We have our astrology insider, Andrea.
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: Hello, Ben. How are you?
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: If I was any better, I'd be a moon, but
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: not the full moon because people are freaking out.
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: I see October 2026 full moon, Hunter's moon, which is
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: the first full moon after the harvest moon.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: Uh-oh. Calm down. Calm down. Burner account. The Ben Malishow
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: burner account is freaking out right now. No. Everything will
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: be okay. Everything will be all right.
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so long as it's times of culmination and happy
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: Scorpio birthday, Lorena. Enjoy. Thank you.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Those Scorpios are trouble, man. Let me tell you, those Scorpios, trouble, trouble, trouble.
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: Well, they're intense. You've got to appreciate the intensity. It's
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: a sign of transformation. And, well, it is the opposite
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: of Taurus. I will say that. So opposites attract. They
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: also learn a lot from each other. So we have
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: the full, you know, we like the farmer's almanac, so
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: we have the full moon. And we have Mercury retrograde.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: Uh-oh, uh-oh, Mercury retrograde. Remember when Weed Man freaked out
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: one year because Mercury in retrograde and he was having
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: a panic attack? That was great moments in show history.
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: Yes. Well, Mercury's Retrograde just started, Ben, October 24 to
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: November 13. And this is interesting. I did a sports
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: astrology podcast on the 49ers with my colleague, Seth R. Love,
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: and he came up with the 49ers' birth date. June 6, 1944,
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: San Francisco, California, there were Gemini mooning Scorpio, and Mercury
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: retrograded on their mooning Scorpio, and they lost their first game.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: I do not remember the 49ers' first game. I apologize.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: I'm a bad talk show host.
• 31:25
  Speaker 10: Oh, okay.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: I thought you meant the first game they ever played.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: I was like, I don't think I was around for that,
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: so I don't know.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because I mentioned the 1944 birth date. No, they
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: lost their first game of the season here, and it
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: was kind of a challenging game that they played. So
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: we had the full moon, Mercury retrograde on their moon,
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: and it just kind of didn't quite align for that.
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: So it was just interesting to see the frustrations and
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: what abounded with the full moon and Mercury retrograde. Oh,
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: and Venus is retrograde, too.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: We got Mercury and Venus. It's double your pleasure, double
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: your fun. Two for one special right now. Two for
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: one special.
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: That's a good way to put it. Mercury is communication, transportation, technology.
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: Venus is relationships, finances, values. So we're thinking a lot
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: of things. And the full moon is bringing some things
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: to culmination. So it'll be interesting to see what ends
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: up transpiring. So the folklore around the full hunter's moon,
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: October 26, 2026, in the Farmer's Almanac, it's the first
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: full moon after the fall equinox. So it peaks today
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: as we're talking. And it's just in Scorpio. And, you know,
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: we're in Scorpio season and the full moon's in Taurus.
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: And I wasn't real thrilled about it being called the
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: Hunter's Moon, but it's just called that because leaves are
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: falling and animals are, you know. Oh, apparently I'm looking
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: at the Palmer's Almanac. Easier to spot an open landscape
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: here and wildlife fattened up over the summer. Oh, okay. No,
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: we don't like the hunting aspect, but it is called
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: Hunter's Moon.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: There you go. Hunter's Moon.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: We'll leave it there. Andrea, thank you. Virgo in service
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: on X. You can say hello to our astrology insider.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: There she goes. Andrea. She's going to start the bathtub here,
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: and she'll be on her way. On her way. Let's
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: say hello to Hollering James in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Hello, Hollering James.
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: Benny.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: You're awake again.
• 33:41
  Speaker 6: What's up, Benny?
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: Can I talk to your doctor? What kind of medication
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: are you now on? What's going on with you? You
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: used to sleep all the time. Now you're wide awake.
• 33:53
  Speaker 7: That's because I'm taking Viagra and I'm ready for Lorena.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: All right. Thank you for that. So the Minnesota Vikings
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: blitzed on a total of 85.2% of the Indianapolis dropbacks
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: in the game, obviously on Sunday. That is the highest
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: rate ever recorded. in the NFL's next-gen stats here. Now,
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: it's rather obvious that Brian Flores realizes Daniel Jones cannot
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: handle the blitz. <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL>
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Daniel Jones choked. He couldn't handle it. It was terrible.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: He suffocated, and the Indianapolis Colts suffocated their passing offense.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: Jones had just 108 yards passing. We're going to talk
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: more about this game next hour, but 13 completions, 22 attempts.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: Indianapolis had just 10 points, and it was a winnable
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: game because Minnesota has no offense. But Daniel Jones, my God.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: The Vikings defensively with Brian Flores, they dared Daniel Jones
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: to beat the pressure. And he was not up to
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: the challenge. Couldn't do it. Couldn't get it done.
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: Failed.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: Miserable. All right, it's Ben Maller's show. That number, though,
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: that's the number. 85.2% for the blitz by Minnesota's defense
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: against Indianapolis on dropbacks. And I don't know how many years.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: It's only been a few years they've done the next-gen
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: nerd stats. So it's not been that long. But Brian Flores...
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: They didn't really design some exotic defensive plan. It's like,
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: all right, he can't play against pressure, so we'll just
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: blitz early and often against Daniel Jones, and we'll bring
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: the entire state of Minnesota to come after him. And
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: it worked. And so as long as that keeps going,
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: the Vikings 6-0, best start for them, top start for
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: the Vikings since 0-9. Barely alive back in 2009, so
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: long ago. It is the Ben Maller Show as we
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: press on and on and on. Time now for the
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: in-stock trivia. And here we go. Baker Mayfield threw for
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: just 64 yards. Tampa Bay won 43-13 over those pathetic
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers. Hey, where's Gunner, by the way? Do we
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: know where Gunner is? Isn't he a Mr. Carolina Panther fanboy?
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: No?
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: I guess he's busy. It's odd how he's always busy
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: when the team plays poorly. It's odd how that works. Anyway,
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield just 64 yards passing in Tampa Bay's 43-13
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: win over those pathetic Carolina Panthers. Breaking Blank's Super Bowl-era
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: record for the fewest passing yards by a starting quarterback.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: in a game where his team scored 40 or more points. Again,
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, the Bucs, he had just 64 yards passing.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: Tampa Bay gets a 43-13 beatdown at Carolina, and that
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: breaks Blank's Super Bowl-era record for the fewest passing yards
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: by a starting quarterback in a game where they're where
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: his team scored 40 or more points. That's the instant trivia.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: The answer, if you know it, on X, at Ben Maller.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: We'll get to that, and we will do it. Also,
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: Maller to the third degree. We'll do it next.

• 38:12
  Speaker 1: for the Insta trivia. And here it is. Baker Mayfield
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: had just 64 yards passing. Tampa Bay gets a 30-point win.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: They scored over 40. Beating up Carolina. Breaking blanks. Super
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: Bowl-era record for the fewest passing yards by a starting
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: quarterback in a game where his team scored 40 or
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: more points. And that is the question, what is the answer?
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: And let's see, does anyone know the answer? Andrea, the
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: astrological disaster. I think. Is that what you said, Mallory Popkin?
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: What else do we have? Page down. Marty Bergen is
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: the answer from Alf the Alien O'Piner. He's got a
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: fun fact. We don't have time for that right now.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: Femi going with Tim Tebow. Neil Lomax from Pauly D.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: Vince Ferragamo from JT the Wingman. What else do we have?
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: Page down. Connie Chung from Arturo.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: I've heard that name in a while. The late, great
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: Lawrence McCutcheon, Ram legend from Larry D. That's his answer.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: Full moon. Where's Blind Scott from Truck Stop Monkeys? What
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: say you, Lorena? Sam Darnold. No. The correct answer is
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: Cam Newton with the Patriots in 2020. Cam Newton. All right,
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: here we go. Real quick. It's Miller. How about that?
• 39:27
  Speaker 8: To the third degree.
• 39:31
  Speaker 10: Ben, North Carolina State fired their coach for over 14 seasons.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what's his name? Dave Doran. I don't think that's
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: how you pronounce it.
• 39:43
  Speaker 7: Yeah, probably not.
• 39:45
  Speaker 10: The top candidate to replace him, Phillip Rivers.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: There you go. Why not?
• 39:49
  Speaker 10: Do you think he's going to end up head coach
• 39:51
  Speaker 10: of a NCAA program?
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, why not? You know, these college teams at this point,
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: they're just throwing crap against the wall because of NIL.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: So people know who Phillip Rivers is, I guess. He
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: just played last year for the Colts.
• 40:03
  Speaker 8: Why not?
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: Next.
• 40:05
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 40:05
  Speaker 10: Now, earlier this weekend, they said that Arch Manning might
• 40:08
  Speaker 10: forego the NFL draft and possibly leave Texas.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: Do you think that'll be the case? I think that's
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: a long shot. I think if he leaves, he goes
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: to the NFL. Oh, he's making a lot of money
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: in college, though. And this NIL changes everything. But I
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: would think you'd want to go to the NFL. He's
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: not ready for the NFL, but I think you'd just
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: want to go to the NFL and get that life started.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: Next.
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: A little too early NBA talk.
• 40:30
  Speaker 10: People are saying that Anthony Davis makes the Wizards a
• 40:33
  Speaker 10: playoff contender.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: Do you think that's the case? Everyone makes the playoffs, Coop.
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: It's the NBA. Everyone gets in. That's easy. How'd we do?
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: You pass. That's a win. Put it on the board. Winner, winner, winner.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: Chicken dinner.
