• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Cowabunga, dude! It's hour number three! Hour three, Ben Maller's show.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: We are so happy you have decided to hang out
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: with us, and you've already made it through the first
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: two hours of the podcast. Unless you cheated and you
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: just moved ahead to hour number three, because you're like,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: I don't want to hear about baseball, I want to
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: hear about football. All right, well, fine. You're going to
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: get a lot of football and more this hour. But
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: we start this hour with a follow-up to a previous
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: episode of the Ben Maller Show. In that episode of
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: the Ben Maller Show, we featured Seattle adding a washed-up
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: running back.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Psych!
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: They did the old okie-dokie, and they said, no, no, no, no, no.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: We don't want that running back. We don't need that
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: running back. So how ridiculous does Seattle look? for letting
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Joe Mixon, leaking the Joe Mixon signing, letting that out,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: letting the Joe Mixon signing out, and then failing to
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: complete the contract. Who goofed? I've got to know. We'll
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: talk about that. Also, the NFL has had almost 1,000
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: accepted penalties so far this season. That's a lot. How
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: does that strike you? And in basketball, a Spurs star,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Victor Wemba Nyama, and his reported media blackout, a bruised ego,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: a case of wounded pride, or a full-blown act of
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: diva behavior. We'll talk about all that and more right now.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: It's hour number three. Also, the Queen of Hearts with Lorena.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Here it is, hour number three. Well, it turns out
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: you will not be rooming with Sasquatch. You have been evicted.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: We're sorry. You've been evicted. Welcome in the beginning of
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: another hour of the Ben Maller Show. We are in
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: the air everywhere, marshaled together. That's right. As we say,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: out of the darkness comes the light. Coast to coast,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: border to border, and beyond. On the vast and imposingly
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: powerful microphones of FS are emanating live from the store.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Do it live!
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: The toy store. Guaranteed human. From the world-famous Fox Sports
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Radio studios where Lisa C... From the Commonwealth and our
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: friend Queen Roxanne. From Colorado and Kathy and Madison and
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Eileen in San Francisco. Even Rebecca the Ram fan. All agree.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: The Ben Maler Show. is a show on radio, and
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: it's all about promoting, among other things, Fox One. That's right.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: This portion of the Ben Mousel Show made possible in
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: part by our friends at Fox One. NFL Week 5
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: is here, and it is a big one. Bears versus Packers.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: And that's Sunday's America's Game of the Week, streaming live
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: on Fox One. Now, if you miss it live, you're
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: just watching highlights. That's all you're doing if you miss
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: it live. Catch every play as it happens. Bears-Packers live
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: this Sunday. Tom Brady's going to be there. It's on
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Fox 1. So check it out. We've got the time-shifted
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Mallory third degree coming up a little bit later this hour. Also,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: our friend Lorena will take over the airwaves. We have
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: the Queen of Hearts. Hashtag Queen of Hearts. Too much
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: or not enough mixed in, so a lot of bits
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: this hour. But our lead from the Pacific Northwest... As
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: we get back to football, the Seattle Seahawks have made
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: a decision. They have decided to pull the old okey-doke.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: The Seahawks saying, Ixnay on the signing, eh? So just
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: delete that old Mallard monologue where the Seahawks had pretty
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: much announced they had agreed to a deal. They say, eh, no.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: They decided not, not, not to sign Joe Mixon to
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: their practice squad after he underwent a physical injury. Yes,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: apparently he needed oxygen. No, he did not. But it
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: was not good. It was not good. So if you
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: didn't see this, perhaps not. Seattle had pretty much announced
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: it was all planned. They brought Joe Mixon in. They
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: worked him out. Coach said, we need a running back.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: He's a running back. And that's our guy. And so
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: there you go. They said, we're going to sign him.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Of course, it was contingent on him passing a physical.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: And how did that go? Not good. So they end
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: up Seattle pulling a crazy Ivan out. And they say, psych!
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: So Mixon, 30 years old, he missed all of last season.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Pretty much announced that he couldn't play football anymore. And
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: he got the bug. He said, I think I can
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: play now. Well, doctors say you can't play. I think
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: I can play. I think I can play. So he
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: missed all last year with a foot injury. Got fired
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: by the Texans back in March. They released him. That's
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: football lingo for you're fired. And Seattle said, you know,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: we worked out. We're not interested. Seattle instead adding someone
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: named Robert Henry Jr. Of the Washington practice squad team,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: formerly known as the Redskins. Now, nobody's ever heard of
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Robert Henry Jr., but I guarantee that our friend Nostradamus
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: and our buddy JJ and even crying Craig in Seattle
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: right now are doing full propaganda work. This is the
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: second coming of Marshawn Lynch. Robert Henry Jr. So that
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: obvious question. Obvious question. How ridiculous does Seattle look for
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: letting the Joe Mixon signing leak and encouraging that news
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: to go around before they actually completed the physical for
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Joe Mixon? So I've got FaceTime, Wango, Tango, and the
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Monarch Butterfly. And we will combine all of these things together,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: and we are going to crack our knuckles is what
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: we're going to do. At this point, I can do
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: a one-man band. I can crack my right knee. I
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: can crack my knuckles, my toes. There's a lot of crack,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: a lot of crack-a-lackin' going on around these parts. So
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: to begin, though, this diatribe, to lead off here, The
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Seahawks announcing the marriage. They say, hey, we're getting married.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: All right, we're getting married. They booked a honeymoon. They
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: mailed out the invitations before remembering the prenup. Who goofed?
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I've got to know. Now, we're told that NFL organizations
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: are multibillion-dollar global conglomerates, and they employ hundreds of people,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: wasting away money, no-show jobs, and People getting paid to
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: pick lint out of their shirt. So a lot of
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: people employed by the NFL. But apparently nobody's job is
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: to check the injured guy before announcing you hired the
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: injured guy. Yeah. Now, you don't have to have attended
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: the Harvard Medical School to figure this one out. This
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: is not a brain teaser. It is not. Seattle knew...
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: that Joe Mixon missed all of last year because he
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: had a bad foot. Seattle also knew that Joe Mixon
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: had pretty much announced he can't play football anymore. And yet,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: they said, no, no, we're not going to check the
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: foot first. If I know this, and you know this,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: and the guy over to the right who's not really
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: paying attention, that guy knows it, how the hell did
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Seattle not know it? Explain that. They treated this like
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: they were buying something off Facebook Marketplace. Venmo you the money,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: and we will ask questions later. Well, no, no, no, no, no, no.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: That's not how it works. And look, if they wanted
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Joe Mixon, this is how it always works. If you
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: want Joe Mixon badly enough, there's always a doctor with
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: a rubber stamp. You can always find a doctor to
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: sign off on the medical stuff. And they could always
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: call or text Dr. Vinny Boombatz. Get a hold of
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Vinny Boombatz, and he will give you the seal of approval.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: You don't even have to go visit him. Dr. Vinny Boombatz,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: just on FaceTime. It's a clown show over there with Seattle.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: They signed a guy facing life in prison. Now they
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: announced they were signing a running back who can't physically
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: play football anymore after working that running back out. And
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Bozo the Clown... is looking at Seattle saying, guys, tighten
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: up the operation. Tighten up a little bit. What are
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: you doing? Again, wowie kazowie? All right, furthermore, to the
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: product of pigskin we go. It seems like these NFL
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: games are highlighted by a lot of TV time for
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: the referees. It turns out that would be the proper
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: time Analysis, as the NFL has had 983 accepted penalties
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: through the first four weeks of the season. That seems
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: like a lot, right? That seems like a lot. Yeah,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: it is. I see a nod in your head, yes.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: That is the most through four games since play-by-play data
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: became available in the 1970s. You got to go back
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: to 1978, the last time. That was back when a
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: guy named Jimmy Carter... The peanut farmer was the president,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: and there were wars over the gas prices were going
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: through the roof, kind of like what's going on now. Now,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: week four, particularly a flag-heavy situation, 271 accepted penalties across
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: 16 games.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: That's a lot.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: So let's do some math. So 271, and then you
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: divide that, the 271, the 16 NFL games, that is
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: an average of, my God, tons and tons and tons
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: and tons of... of tons of penalties there. The actual
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: number per game, per game, 16.9 penalties. So almost 20
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: penalties per game. And that is the second highest total
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: for any single week in the play-by-play era. And this
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: has opened up a can of worms. Yep, some of
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: you people, very upset. It is obviously a quality control
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: issue for the NFL. So the question here, the NFL
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: has had almost 1,000 accepted penalties so far this season.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: We're four weeks into this season. How does that strike you?
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: So it's utterly ridiculous. That's the first thing. It's utterly
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: ridiculous that the referee... should be an NPC, a non-playable character.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: The referee should be an NPC in football. Not the
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: final boss. Not the final boss. The advice should be, hey,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: stop officiating with a microscope. Stop micro-officiating. And if you
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: want to use some kind of device, I recommend binoculars.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Use binoculars. It's harder to micro-penalize teams at this particular point. Now, sure,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: you should call penalties that are directly impacting the outcome
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: of the game. However, you can call holding on virtually
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: every single play in the NFL. There is some kind
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: of penalty on every single play. If you slow things
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: down and you look at every single player and the
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: hand-to-hand comment of the offensive line and all that, but
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: nobody wants football turned into a three-hour compliance seminar. We
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: don't need a compliance seminar or webinar about all this.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: There is a distinction between enforcing the rules and obsessing
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: over the rules of the game. There are obviously points
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: of emphasis. We get that. You call the obvious stuff.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: You call the dangerous stuff. You call something that actually
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: affects the flow of the game. Otherwise, stay out of
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: the way. Just stay out of the way. Common sense
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: has been completely replaced by the technicalities and the micro officiating.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: The whistle is a tool. It is not a musical instrument.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: You watch some of these games and it's like, no, no, no.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: I'm at Wango Tango. No, you're not performing Wango Tango.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: You're there to call the obvious penalties, not the ones
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: that could go either way and all that. You think
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: about all the penalties called and the one that should
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: have been called that effed the Rams over and gave
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: the Broncos the bogus win was not the proper call.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: They screwed it up. They get all these calls. They
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: get the ones wrong. They don't correct them. Nobody wants lawlessness.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Maybe you do. I don't know. I don't. Good officiating
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: is largely invisible. Does anyone disagree with that? Good officiating
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: is largely invisible. And it's kind of like that English
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: proverb about children. Officials should be seen... Not heard. All right,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: last thing. The San Antonio, where Spurs star Victor Wimbanyama.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Remember the guy that choked in the NBA Finals? So
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Victor Wimbanyama. does not want to discuss last season's choke
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: job against the Knickerbockers. And according to a report from
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: the tabloids, he's avoiding American media interviews for the most part,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: except 60 Minutes. For some reason, the rotting carcass of
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: 60 Minutes is able to have Wembe on. There was
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: a puff piece that claims that he was deeply affected
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Wemba Nyama from the Spurs blowing double-digit leads in every game.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: And he sincerely believed that San Antonio was the better team.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Apparently they weren't. They lost the game. Now, despite the
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: reported blackout, Wemby discussed the loss to the Knickerbockers a
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: little bit at Spurs Media Day. And he talked about
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: how difficult it was emotionally and emotionally. Now, the contradiction
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: is rather obvious here. Wimbanyama says that we don't want
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: to hide from anything, that was one of his quotes,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: while repeatedly avoiding most American media outlets other than the
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: aforementioned 60 Minutes. So the question, is Spurs star Victor
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Wimbanyama's reported American media blackout a bruised ego, wounded pride, or.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: A case of full-blown diva behavior. So the arrow is
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: pointing towards Phantom of the Opera, as in Prima Donna
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: at the opera. And adulthood begins. I learned this years ago.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Adulthood begins when you stop demanding protection and you actually say, listen,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: I don't need protection. I know this is uncomfortable, but
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: I can deal with it. That's when adulthood begins. And
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Wemby looks hypocritical here. Again, he said, we don't want
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: to hide from anything while doing the dipsy-do and ducking
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: out of the way. So you are the face of
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: an NBA franchise. You're supposed to be the face of
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: the NBA coming up here. And part of the deal
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: is answering uncomfortable questions. It's part of the job. It's
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: written into the bylaws of the NBA. You have to
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: address the media. And regardless of your mood or your
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: performance or how sad you feel because your team's a
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: bunch of choking dogs and all that, you cannot build toughness.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Rhinoskin living like a monarch butterfly inside a protective cocoon,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: a media cocoon. Protect me from the outside. Hiding under
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: the basketball equivalent of a weighted blanket. which these tabloid
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: reports are accurate, is going on. So a superstar running
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: from the microphone, running away from the microphone, that projects what? Weakness.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Weakness in the mature response. It's rather obvious. Not many
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: use it. When you lose a game and you don't
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: play well down the stretch or you miss a big shot,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: in the case of Wemby, the mature response is remarkably simple.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: It is five words. We lost. I'll be better. Period.
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: Stop.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: We lost. I'll be better. Now, if you want to
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: extend it, you say, I'll be better. We'll be better.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Do better. Be better. Boom. Done. So instead of closing
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: the door on failure, he turned this around and made
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: it like a revolving door. Wimby. It is the Ben
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Maller Show. And with that, here we go. Third degree time.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Here we go. Time shifted. It's Maller.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Yes, it is.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: How about that?
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: To the third degree.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: I heard that.
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: This is when Big Ben gets grilled.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: All right. Here we go. The evil plan is coming together.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Enjoy every single word. It's Maller to the third degree.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: The coop. I'll loop.
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: So with the Broncos' slow start, there's been a lot
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: of speculation about Sean Payton taking play calling back from
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: offensive coordinator Davis Webb. An NFL insider said this week,
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: I think Sean is not going to sacrifice the season
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: in the name of developing Davis Webb as a play caller,
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: but I also think he's going to give him more
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: than four weeks.
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: Ben, do you think there's any point this season where
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: Sean Payton does take back the play call?
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if they go out and lose to the Rams.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Are you going to that game, by the way, Coop?
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Are you going to be out there? Oh, the Chargers? Oh,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: the Chargers. That's right, the Chargers. Are you going to
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: be out of that game? I'm going to try and
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: get tickets. The last minute, try to get cheap tickets? Okay,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: fair enough. Yeah, so something's got to change. Denver has
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: the 27th-ranked offense. I don't think it's good, Coop. Does
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: that mean to say they're not good at 27th in
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: the NFL? 32 teams. They have a worse offense at
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: this point than the New York Giants, who have started
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Jameis Winston for multiple games. Anyway, listen, if they lose
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: to the Chargers this weekend, I think there will be
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: a change. You can't wait too long. And you've got
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: to figure out, is this Bo Nix? Is this a
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Bo Nix problem? Or is this a play-calling problem? Because
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Bo Nix last year was not all that good either.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: He had a few moments, much like he's had this year.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: He's had a few moments. But overall, he hasn't been
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: that good. He's one of the lower rated quarterbacks in
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: the NFL. Next.
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: So the Raiders opened the season with 130 rushing yards
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: against the Dolphins. And then the three games following that,
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: they've rushed for 247 or 242. Yeah. Clint Kubiak said
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: on Monday, I put it on myself. I have to
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: do a better job of putting us in a better position. Yada, yada,
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: coach speak.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: Ben, do you think it is Kubiak's fault or do
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: they have an Ashton Gentry problem?
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: It's a combination. The offensive line's not that good. And
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: they've actually played some teams that are a little better
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: up front. You can play the Dolphins a few more times.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: The Raiders will look great. They'll be like the old
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: school Raiders back in the day with Bo Jackson and
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Marcus Allen and all that. But, yeah, it's more probably
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: you're just playing a better team. The Raiders are not
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: a good team. I've tried to tell people, people don't
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: want to even listen to me. They're not. They're 3-1.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: The cupcake schedule to begin the year, they played a
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: good team. They lost to the Chiefs. And anytime they
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: play a good team, they're going to lose because they're
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: not good. So it's an offensive line issue. It's just
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: the fact they're not that good.
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: Next.
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: So you mentioned yesterday about Cam Ward saying they've got
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: three minutes, bro.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: I'm going to walk out.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Come on, bro.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Come on, bro. No media, bro.
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: The reaction from Titans fans has not been great. They're
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: not happy with Cam Ward. Ben, do you think how
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: long before we see Mitchell Trubisky for the Titans? Well,
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: it'll happen because Cam's going to get hurt. And even
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: if he's not hurt, they'll come up with some soft
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: tissue injuries so they can put Cam.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Ward on the bench. You talk about a quagmire. That
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: is the ultimate quagmire in Tennessee. They brought in Robert Sala.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: They brought in Brian Dayball as the offensive coordinator. And
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: those guys were hired to fix... to fix Cam Ward, right?
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: You had Robert Sala, Mr. Positivity, right? Like a Tony
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Robbins seminar. And you had Brian Dayball, who some of
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: you idiots told me was a genius because of Josh
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Allen happening to be good in Buffalo. And so they
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: hired these two guys, handpicked them for, you got the
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: positivity from the head coach, you got the X's and
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: O's genius from the offensive coordinator, and Cam Ward is
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: not only a quarterback, he's terrible. So I do think
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: he will end up on the bench, but they'll likely
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: couch it as some kind of mild injury situation to
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: rest him. But you can't keep sending him out. He's terrible.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: He's a bottom quarterback. He's not the very bottom, but
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: he's right there, neck and neck at the bottom. All right,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: there it is. Malloy, the third degree. How did we do?
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: You passed us.
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: That is a win.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Chicken dinner. Well, time now for the always popular, always popular,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Mallor Riddle of the Day. This actually ties into the Raiders.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: There's some serendipity in this. Raiders edge rusher Max Crosby
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: recently claimed that Patrick Wilhelms blanks when he gets tackled.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: All right. Again, Max Crosby, Raiders defensive star, claimed that
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Patrick Wilhelms blanks when he gets tackled. That is the
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Mallor riddle of the day. If you know the answer
• 21:29

• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Very happy with the mail room. Loves the mail department
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: here at Fox Sports Radio. Yes. A Bronco fan. That
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: is a Bronco fan. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: So is this is this what you said? I did
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: get a piece of mail was handed to me. Was
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: this what you were looking for? It's addressed to me, though,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: so I don't think this is anything for you. It
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: says my name on it. I mean, I was just
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: messaged by a listener. I don't know who. What was
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: the person's name? Let me check here. I can open
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: this live on the air. You'll see our live coverage.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: Are you sure it's not for me?
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Well, I was shocked at you. I thought it was
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: for you because I have not received mail in a
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: long time. I'm not very popular around here anymore because
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: you've started out. And this is from a listener named
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Ken in Columbia, South Carolina. That is the capital of
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: South Carolina. But you knew that, right, Lorena, the capital?
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Do you know all your state capitals? Do you remember
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: from school? For sure. Definitely.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: Don't test me right now because it's not a good segment.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: I think we've done that. But yeah, we'll take too
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: much time. Didn't we do that with Weed Man?
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: You asked me a couple of things.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: All right. Let me see here. Was it delivered via UPS?
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Let's see here. Yeah, it was. Maybe this is it. Yeah,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: maybe that's it. All right. Let me see here. All right.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure what this is. Oh, it's from Nimbot.
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it. Oh, it is from Nimbot. Oh, look
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: at that. Okay. I don't know how this ended up
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: with me. Let me see here.
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: Oh, look at this.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Well, Nimbot, thank you, Nimbot. Very kind of you. So
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: you sent me an oversized little penny. You see that?
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: There's a jumbo. How cool is that? I guess we
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: could use this, Coop. That's true. I could use that.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: For Benny versus the penny. We can use this. Do
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: you think that will alter the trajectory? It's metal or
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: like one of those smashed pennies?
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: Oh, no.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: This is like a real, well, it's not real penny.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: It's jumbo. Let me see. Hold on a second.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay. All right.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: That's got a little meat to it, right? Yeah. I
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: feel a little masculine. Yeah. All right. Lorena, heads or tails?
• 25:52
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: I'm flipping up in the air.
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: Here we go.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Three, two, one.
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: Tails.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, you won. You get a golden ticket. Oh, my gosh.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: I'm going to call in one of these nights.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: I've got a golden ticket. I've got a golden ticket.
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Well, thank you, Nimbot. That's very kind of you. And
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: I love that you put my name on the package.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: which is very nice, because I don't get mail, and
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: I used to get mail, and it used to excite
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: me a great deal.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: It's my birthday month, so maybe I'll even get more mail.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. All right, well, thank you.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: There we go.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: We'll have the official penny for Benny versus the... It's
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: a good sound effect, too, because it's an actual... Actual penny.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: I got to pay off the riddle of the day,
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: and I do need, do I have a contestant? Does
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: line three want to play our game, Koopaloop? If not,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: we need somebody else. He said he had an announcement
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: to make, so all right. All right, I guess not.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Apparently not, but we'll give him a chance. Too much
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: or not enough coming up in a couple minutes. Here's
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: the Mallor riddle of the day. Raiders edge rusher Max
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Crosby recently claimed that Patrick Mahomes blanks when he gets tackled.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: All right, that is the Mallor riddle of the day.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Let's see, does anyone know the answer? Page down, page down.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Let's see here. Keith Ocho Texto got it right, bad
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: job by him. Eek in Roseville, Minnesota says he texts
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: his mother-in-law. Talks in tongues, guessed by a 2% chance. Now,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: a listener reached out to me and said 2% chance
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: is a talk radio calling whore. Somebody said he calls
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: all the Raiders. It's probably not wrong. A lot of
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: these guys call all the shows. What else do we have?
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Timmy from Busco, Indiana says he sings a show tune
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: every time he gets tackled. That's from Timmy in Busco, Indiana.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: He squeals when he's tackled from Kathy in Madison. JT
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: the Wingman in the Smoky Mountains says, Mahomes says, Who's
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: your daddy? Who's your daddy? Page down. He has a
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: flashback to his Mike Tyson fight. I must have missed that.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Johnny Q says he squeaks. Courtesy Flusher. I broke my back.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: Courtesy Flusher says he sees God. What else do we have?
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Not Blind Austin says some kind of climax happens. Page down.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: The Juice says Mahomes just has a little urination situation.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: That takes place. Analog Al says, calls out for his
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: best friend Clay Martin. So he said. He whistles Broadway
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: show tunes from the Pizza Papa. That's his answer. What
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: else do we have? Page down. I can't read that. Lorena,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: do you have an answer, Lorena?
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: I think he goes, hee hee. Every time.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: All right. No, that is incorrect. The correct answer, according
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: to Max Crosby, he said that Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs quarterback
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, moans when he gets tackled.
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: He moans.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: How do you think the moan sounds, Max? Are you
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: trying to do something that will cause me to create
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: a drop? I will not do that.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: I just, I want to, I want to know, you know, like.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: I think the guys would rather hear you moan than
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: me moan. I'm just saying, but I don't want, you know,
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: you don't have to.
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: I have a cameo for that.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. There's other options for that. Not here. Not
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: here at all. Metaphor Kyle is up next. Hello, Metaphor
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: Kyle from Viva Las Vegas. He's got a very important announcement. Hello, Kyle. Welcome.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: What's up, guys? I haven't talked to you guys in
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: about three, four weeks. I got some big news.

  Speaker 2: I am getting married.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, congratulations.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: I found a Mrs. Metaphor, somebody who actually understands the
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: metaphor in this.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: And she actually accepted your offer. That's wild. That's crazy.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Well, she had no choice. She was working on my
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: teeth when I asked her. She's a dentist.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's great. That'll save you a lot of money.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Good job by you.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: That and... I'll play the game. I want to get
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: a game. I got to redeem myself. All right.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: You want to play the game? Listen to it. Is
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: it going to be a quick wedding? You're waiting a year?
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: You're going to have a.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: I'm waiting a year. Yeah, we're waiting a year. And
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to get her to listen to the show.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: She's getting into the stuff that I'm getting into, that
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: I'm already into. So I'm trying to get her to
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: stay up long enough to listen. So, but, no, I'm excited.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Well, congratulations. Mazel tov. Congratulations. You're going to have, like,
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: a little small wedding. You're in Vegas. You can go
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: to one of, like, the Elvis places and get married.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: Oh, we're not.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: No, no, no. We're not doing that. I did that
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: with the first one. I'm like Big Lou World No. 2,
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: so we're going to do it B-I-G.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: All right, you're going big. All right, that two is
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: for you. Two, and that's a final. Two is a final.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: We're not doing three or four. Two is the final one.
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: So just so everyone knows, you can find love at
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: the dentist. Look at that. Don't be afraid to get
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: your teeth drilled.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: Did you actually meet her at the dentist place, or
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: did you know?
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: No, no.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: I proposed to her while she was doing a cleaning
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: on my teeth.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: That's so random.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: All right, but listen, listen.
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: Oh, you're right, right, right.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: She thought that I was tripping at first because I
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: was on the laughing gas. And I was like, I
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: love you. I want to marry you. Will you marry me?
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: And she's like, what? And she recorded it.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: What a romantic. My God. Are you going to have
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: that at the wedding? You're going to have like a
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: dentist chair at the wedding somehow. You're going to incorporate
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: that into the wedding somehow, some way.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: Well, don't know how we're going to quite do this
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: just yet, but I did tell her, I was like,
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: I want to see you in your scrubs.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: Hey-o. All right, listen, let's get to the game so
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: we have time. Lorena's demanding a quick game here, so
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: we have time for the cleanup.
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: It's another Ben Maller game.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Especially since he just got engaged. We're not enough.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: Enough already.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: A lot of love for Metaphor Kyle in Las Vegas.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: Good guy. We met Kyle at the big meet and
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: greet there.
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: We did.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: And we'll see him. Hey, maybe we'll all go to
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: the wedding. We should.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: You know, the invitation will be extended.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: All right. Well, here we go, Kyle. Good luck to you.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: And question number one, Yoshinobu Yamamoto of the Dodgers is
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: only the fifth pitcher in MLB history with at least
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: seven wins and no more than one loss in his
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: first 10 postseason games. Is that too much or not enough?
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: That sounds like way too much. I don't even know
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: baseball like that, but it sounds like too much.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: When he says too much, let's find out. That is correct.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: He's only the third pitcher ever to do it, joining
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: Orlando Hernandez, El Duque of the Yankees, and Jim Palmer.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: I love old guy Jim Palmer. Jim Palmer just doesn't
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: give a crap anymore. I love it. Oriole legend from
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: back in the day. Question number two. Before Gavin Williams
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: on Monday, it had been 20 years since a Guardian
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: slash Indians pitcher... had 11 or more strikeouts in a
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: postseason game. Is that too much or not enough for Mr. Baseball?
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: Metaphor Kyle.
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: I'm going to say it with confidence. That is not enough.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: Let's find out. Look at you. You are Mr. Baseball.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: The last to do it was the rotund Bartolo Colon,
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: who was the hero of our lame jokes for many years.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: I like the round mound. Yeah, the round mound of
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: throwing the ball down. That was 27 years ago. Wow,
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: 1999 was 27 years ago. That's pretty crazy. Question number three.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: Here we go. You're doing great. Metaphor, Kyle. Question three.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: There are eight receivers in the NFL that have 30
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: or more receptions so far. Is that too much or
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: not enough? Well, considering C.D.
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: Lamb just had 16 in the game, I'd say that
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: is not enough.
• 34:10
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Let's find out. Does he sweep the board?
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: That's all right.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: I forgot one more.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: You got the damn baseball right. You got the football
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: one wrong. There's only five.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: I don't even watch baseball. I know.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: That's the beauty of the game. Too much or not enough.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: All the answers. I'm on Ross and Brown of the Lions,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: JSN of Seattle, Trey McBride and Alave and Lamb. Those
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: are the guys.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: Moving on. Question number four for Metaphor Kyle with the
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Queen of Hearts with Lorena on deck. There are four
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks with 10 or more touchdown passes so far this
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: season in the NFL. Is that too much or not enough? Again,
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: there are four quarterbacks with 10 or more touchdown passes
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: so far this season. Is that too much or not enough?
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: That is not enough.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: You sure about that? There's only four.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: I'm certain because I know Josh Allen has four.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: No, no. There's four quarterbacks with 10 or more, though.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: 10 or more touchdown passes.
• 35:13
  Speaker 6: Oh.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: I'm going to say not enough.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: We're confident. All right. Mr. Confident over here.
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: Someone give him some laughing gas.
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: Hurry.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: There's only two. Kirk Cousins and Brock Purdy. Here we go.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: Question five. You've got the two football ones are wrong
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: and the baseball you got right.
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: Before week three, the Steelers had gone 50 straight games
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: without scoring more than seven points in the first quarter.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: Is that too much or not enough?
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: That is, oh.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: Chop, chop.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: 50, 50, 50, 50. Call a friend. We're going to
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: say not too much.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: What's your final answer?
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: Too much.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: All right, here we go.
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: No!
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: You lost. You got all the football questions wrong. How
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: does that happen? Kyle, we have a nice parting gift,
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: a lifetime supply of nothing. So when you want nothing,
• 36:12

  Speaker 3: Uh, yeah.
