• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? It's hour number two. You will
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: not be shortchanged here in hour number two. We go
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: to the NFL, to the Bayou, and a lot of drama.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: The owner of the fledgling franchise in Louisiana publicly, publicly
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: calling out the coach and the GM and the GM.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: And the quarterback has commented, so has the coach. How
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: much credit do you give Tyler Shuck? the quarterback, and
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Coach Kellen Moore for agreeing with Gail Benson that the Saints'
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: performance is unacceptable. We'll talk about that. Also, D'Amico Ryan
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: says Marvin Harrison Jr. has made a seamless transition To
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: the Texans, what stands out to you about this? He's
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: had one practice, going to play in London. And be honest,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: how badly do you want to watch this documentary about
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: the fake 49er player who allegedly was able to bamboozle
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: a bunch of women to send him money? It really
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: is a fascinating thing about how many women really want
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: to be with a jock and are willing to throw
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: away common sense money And this guy pulled it off.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: They're making a documentary on Netflix. We'll talk about that.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Who knows what else right now? Trying to hit all cylinders.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: We also have Benny versus a penny for the Thursday
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: night game.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Here it is.

  Speaker 3: Our number two.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Well, it's not getting any better. Welcome in the beginning
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: of another hour of the Ben Maller Show. We are
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: in the air everywhere as we do the yakety yak.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: That's right, I know. And we are market fresh, coast
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: to coast, border to border, and beyond. On the vast
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: and rightfully powerful microphones of FSR emanating live from the chew.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: As we chew your ear, as long as you allow
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: us to chew your ear. Guaranteed, human. On the world-famous
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio studios where the one and only B
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: in Bismarck, Screamin' Steven... And Mike and Tucson, they all
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: agree that this show gives you a fair amount of
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: hot takes, and it's made possible in part by our
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: friends at DraftKings. The football season heating up, and every
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: week feels bigger with DraftKings. DraftKings is now live in
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: all 50 states, one app, all the football nationwide right now.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Use the promo code MALLER to claim your special offer
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: at DraftKings. Again, that's promo code MALLER. At DraftKings, the
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: crown is yours. And don't forget, it is October, and
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: that means playoff baseball. There's no time like October. The
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: NLCS is here, and it's streaming live on Fox 1.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: You better catch it soon. It's going to be over.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: The back-to-back World Series champion Dodgers, not playing like that,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: taking on the top-seeded Brewers, who are dominating the NLCS rematch.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: One series. Now one win from the World Series. Stream
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: the MLB postseason live on Fox 1. Better watch it quick.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Got to get that promo in because there's not a
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: lot left. Not a lot left as the Milwaukee Brewers
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: have the Dodgers on the doorstep of an embarrassing sweep.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: for the greatest team in baseball history. I read about that.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: It must be true. It said that the greatest team
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: in baseball history.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God, they're so good.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Good, good, good, good, good, good, good. Yeah, not so much. So, anyway,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I leave this hour. We'll have Benny versus the Penny
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: coming up near the end of the hour. Benny versus
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: the Penny for the big primetime game. But our lead
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: from New Orleans, a follow-up, follow-up to a conversation we
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: had in a previous episode of the Ben Maller Show.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: And the follow-up, commentating now on the quagmire on the
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: shores of the mighty Mississippi. We've got Saints quarterback Tyler Shuck,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: who has backed owner Gail Benson. who came out swinging,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: criticizing the pathetic performance of the Aints, who are off
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: to a miserable 1-4 start to this NFL season. So
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Tyler Shuck backing the owner. If you didn't see this,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: perhaps you missed it. So Shuck shared the frustration of
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: the owner calling Gale Benson's public rebuke and demand for accountability, quote,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: fully expected. Benson blasting the embarrassing Saints franchise, the three-game
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: losing streak, declaring their performance unacceptable and insisting that the
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: fans deserve better. They deserve better. Now, head coach Kellen Moore,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: who was called out by name by the owner, that
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: doesn't happen very much. Kellen Moore also agreed, agreed that
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: he's apparently bad at his job. He agreed with the
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: billionaire owner who got the team because they're Husband had it.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: He's dead now. Acknowledging the need for better preparation, coaching,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: and execution. So apparently everyone in New Orleans agrees the
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Saints stink. They all agree. What a revelation from football nation,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: the Saints stink. All right, so that is a good
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: jumping off point. Let us discuss the question, how much
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: credit Do you give Tyler Schuch and coach Kellen Moore,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: so the quarterback and the coach, for agreeing with owner
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Gail Benson that the Saints' performance is unacceptable? All right,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: so how much credit? I've got big old spoonful, kindergarten teacher,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: and Leonardo DiCaprio. And we'll put all of these things together,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: and we're going to head to a halfway house, which
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: is where these guys are going to be if they
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: don't start winning some games there What a can of
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: worms this is. So number one.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: Number one.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: One, one, one, one, one.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: Number one.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Here they are chasing rainbows and they're not getting what
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: they want. The pot of gold at the end of
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: the rainbow. Now we give them absolutely zero, zero credit
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: for agreeing with the obvious. You don't get brownie points
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: for admitting that the skunk smells bad. We know it's bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad. Now,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Shuck and Kellen Moore, they got to swallow the medicine
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: at this point. No sugar, no spoonful of sugar, no
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: cherry flavor whatsoever. No, just a big old spoonful of
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Saints-flavored Pepto-Bismol for all the heartburn. All the heartburn there.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: This is really meaningless corporate theater when you peel back
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: the layers. Gail Benson did not ask for a debate.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: She delivered a verdict. There's no debate. This is not
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: some kind of debate show. She just said her verdict.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: So Tyler Shuck and Kellen Moore simply acknowledged they received
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: the subpoena. And that's that. What were they supposed to do?
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Tell the billionaire who signs their checks that she's wrong? No, no,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: they've got to pretend like they're on the same wavelength.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: The Saints are actually a well-oiled machine. Yeah, well-oiled machine.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: This is the easiest layup in the history of corporate America.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: These are big corporations, these NFL teams. The billionaire says
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: that you stink. And you nod your head and you say, yes,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: we're working on that nice, rotten aroma that you smell. Yes,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: this is not accepting responsibility. That is not accountability. You
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: know what that is? That's a parrot.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: It's parroting.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: You're parroting is what you're doing. That's what you're doing.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: All right, now, page two. We go to Houston where Mr. Irrigation,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Houston Texans, they are leaving the country. They've got their passports,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: and they're going to play some football in London. Jolly
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: old London. Marvin Harrison, Jr., wide receiver Marvin Harrison, Jr.,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: a total bust with the Arizona football team, will make
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: his debut. Much ballyhooed, much ballyhooed Texans debut against Jacksonville.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: It'll be a tee time in London. And head coach
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: D'Amico Ryans confirming the news. Ryans praising, slobbering all over
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison Jr. after his first practice with Houston. saying
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: that Harrison Jr. quickly adjusted to the new team's offense,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: the terminology, all that. He credited Harrison's preparation, and here's
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: my favorite part, strong work ethic. Strong work ethic. Saying
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: the receiver was able to jump into practice and fit in, quote, seamlessly. Seamlessly.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Close quote. Question. You got Coach D'Amico Ryan saying that
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison Jr. has made a seamless transition to the Texans.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: What stands out to you about that comment? What stands out?
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I guess Harrison, in some ways, is high, wide, and handsome,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: just according to D'Amico Ryans. The NFL is the only
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: place where a player can be an abject failure with
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: one employer for a couple of years, change laundry, and
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: then complete one practice, and voila, suddenly this is a
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: great redemption story. Wow, way to go. So the Texans,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: I'd like to let those of you in the back
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: of the room know, and this is quite the revelation,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: the Texans did not acquire Marvin Harrison Sr. They did not. Unfortunately,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: they acquired the cheap ripoff, the sequel, which is not
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: the equal. They acquired Jr., a guy that the Arizona
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Cardinals could not wait to get rid of, practically putting
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: him on the curb with a free good-to-go sign that
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: was taped on with scotch tape. While Houston thinks it
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: found some kind of buried treasure and all that, teams
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: don't give away premium talent unless the aggravation outweighs the production,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: which is what happened. It's not good. Anyway, here is
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison Jr. was asked, why did you suck so
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: much with the Arizona Cardinals? Can you explain that? Let
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: me know.
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: There's a lot of factors, and I think with any situation,
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: you always want to take accountability for yourself, so I'm
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: always going to take accountability on my part and my
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: role that I played in things, but I'm just looking
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: forward to the future now at this point and moving forward.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: All right, so you want to write to sportscliché. com with
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: that response. My favorite Story about Marvin Harrison Jr. in
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Arizona was when he was caught with roughly 700 social
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: media videos of him lollygagging around, not playing hard and
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: taking plays off. And then the coaching staff's like, oh,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking about. And then they
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: were like, I think the coach said he had some
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: kind of different acceleration or something like that, which is
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: really funny. It's so good.
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Anyway, here's Harrison talking about that part of it, the
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: caught red-handed not hustling multiple times while wearing a Cardinal uniform.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Here's what he had to say.
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: Everybody has their own opinions on what they're going to
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: gather from information. I know who I am as a player.
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: I know who I am as a person. So however
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: people want to label me or think of me, that's,
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: like I said, their opinions.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: It's not really an opinion. It's a fact. It's right there.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: The tape doesn't lie. Even our friend Inca Terror. Blind.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Blind Seabass. They saw it. Anyway, Stevie Meatballs even saw it.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: So despite that resume, a resume of failure, a resume
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: of failure, one practice in and D'Amico Ryans is already
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: handing out gold stars and puffy stickers to his newest player.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: So what's next? A participation trophy for tying the cleats
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: and getting on the field on time. So D'Amico Ryans,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: you know what he sounds like? He sounds like that
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: proud kindergarten teacher. Let me tell you, Marvin listened today.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: He followed directions. He did not chew on the crayons.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: And he did not wander off during recess. Good job
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: by Marvin Harrison Jr.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: Way to go.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: What fascinates me isn't what D'Amico Ryans is saying. That
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: doesn't fascinate me. It's how desperately... He seems to want
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: everyone to believe it. And I know sports fans don't
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: have the greatest reputation. A lot of them are just meatheads,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: and they don't really have any objective thinking and skills.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: It's amusing to me. All right, now, final point to
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: the stream. To the stream, to the stream, to the stream.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: So Netflix, that's a streaming service, they have an Untold series,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: and they have announced plans for, For their next release,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: it's a sporty documentary. It will be called Untold Wide Deceiver.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Wide Deceiver. Say what? Yes, this is going to examine
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: my favorite 49er wide receiver since the great Jerry Rice.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Dejon Love, 35 years old. He was doing some cosplay.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: A little cosplay there. As a 49er wide receiver, and
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: he was able to expose a bunch of money-hungry women
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: who were going for the jock, trying to score the jock.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: And they were so desperate to get that rich athlete
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: that they overlooked common sense. They said, listen, this is
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: my chance. I might end up having to be married
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: to a plumber or something like that. But here's my
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: opportunity to get a jock. And I don't care if
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: he's not really a jock. I want that money.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: Money, money, money.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: So federal prosecutors accusing Dijon Love and an accomplice of
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: stealing approximately $ 1. 3 million from at least 26 women.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: In four different states. Now, the FBI says an additional
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: 35 women, 35 other women have come forward and said, yeah, yeah,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: I got some of that skullduggery. Similar allegations. That means
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: that if you do the math, we're talking about over
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: 60 women who fell in For the rich jock, that's
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: how desperate these women were. My God. Now, the FBI
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: says that with all the math and all this, the money,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: there's more money than just the $ 1. 3 million. Now, Love,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: if you remember the story, this is the guy. It's
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: so funny. He'd go around with his 49er helmet in
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: his car, and he'd go work out at the beach
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: with his helmet. Because Brock Purdy, when he goes home,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: he brings his uniform with him when he's driving home.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: It's just the way you do it. So this guy
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: had all these videos working out on the beach, wearing
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: the 49er helmet and all that stuff. He staged football workouts. He,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: I guess, rented luxury vehicles to make it seem like
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: he had a lot of money. And it's all been
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: documented on social media from what I've read. And he
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: was able to convince these women that he was a
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: professional athlete when it literally takes five seconds to hop
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: on the Google machine or the AI machine and figure
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: out what's real and what's not. All right, so the
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: question on this one, be completely honest, how badly do
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: you want to watch this documentary just to find out
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: how a fake 49er player allegedly fooled so many women?
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: So let me tell you something. We got to bring
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: in Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks. This is the football
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: version of Catch Me If You Can. except instead of
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: pretending to be an airline pilot and a doctor, this
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: guy pretended to be a wide receiver, catching passes. The
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: story has a little bit of everything. There's romance, there's deception,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: there's professional football, artificial intelligence, and a guy who allegedly
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: made the 49er roster without ever stepping foot inside the
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: 49er facility. Never had to go through training camp. Never
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: had to do a conditioning test. Just so impressive. So,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: so impressive that this guy was able to pull it off.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: There was this old movie years ago called Fletch, which
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: was a guy that did impersonations and pretended to be
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: other people. If Hollywood still had its fastball, and they
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: haven't had their fastball probably 20 years, but if they
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: still had their fastball, this would be such a great movie.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Such a great movie. They won't make it. And if
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: they do, it'll be a cheesy movie. But it's got
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: all the material. This is obviously a Netflix documentary, so
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: this is going to be okay. I'm looking forward to it.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: But this guy was more successful, Dijon Love, at pretending
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: to be an NFL player than actual players have playing football.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: This guy had more luck with women than the actual
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: NFL players. Think about that. He was able to convince
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: all these women. Now, some of them, the photos... I
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: can't believe how many of these women are like, oh, yeah,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: I was hornswoggled by this guy. Like, you'd think you'd
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: try to hide that. They're out there trying to get
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: some clout online. And some of the videos I've seen,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: these are good-looking people that you would think would not
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: fall for this kind of activity. But they did. And
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: he pulled it off for a while until he got
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: caught using that multi-billion dollar 49er brand for free. And
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: my favorite part is his defense is pointing directly at AI.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: And he's like, oh, don't blame me. Take it up
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: with the robots and all that. It ain't my fault.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: And he showed them AI. He used artificial intelligence to
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: make it seem like he was on the Niners, even
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: though these people could have done their own research. So
• 19:23

• 24:43
  Speaker 1: It's not going to go very well. Chip in the
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Qs writes in, says, A-plus on the Mallard monologue, sports
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: teams need to understand that just because a ballplayer shares
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: the same name as his Hall of Fame father, it
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: does not automatically mean he will ever become a really
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: good baseball player. Yours truly, Pete Rose, Jr. There used
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: to be this guy, people don't know who he is anymore,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: named Yogi Berra, who was a beloved baseball player back
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: in the day. And his kid was a baseball player,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: and I think he was most famous for cocaine, if
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: I remember correctly. The 1980s cocaine trials back in the day.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: It was quite the period there in baseball. And our
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: friend Jerry... Rhode Island says, loving the fact that Dodgers
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: can possibly be swept. Crazy, utter failure by them. There
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: you go. That's from Jerry. There you go. Nice job
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: rubbing it in. And Dave Roberts, according to Supermarket Steve,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Dave Roberts talking about finding momentum is like when my
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: bosses tell me I need to Make time, I often
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: will put out a piece of paper and a pen
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: and tell them for the receipt or the recipe for time.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: I'll give the recipe for time. That's from Supermarket Steve.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Chiming in. All right, we'll go to the phones here. 877-99-ON-FOX.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Let's go to eeny, meeny, miny, moe. Let's say hello
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: to Blind Scott. Oh, we have a golden ticket, so
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: we'll hold off on that. Let's go to North Hollywood.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: And how did she get a golden ticket, Coop? Do
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: we know that? Do we know how this person got.
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: A golden ticket?
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: I'm assuming it must have been one of the days
• 26:35
  Speaker 6: that I wasn't here because I don't recognize her. She
• 26:38
  Speaker 6: said she called in and talked about.
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: Now I forgot already.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: But she said it was a week and a half ago,
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: and I think I was out sick like a week
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: or two ago.
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: I do not recall, but it says golden ticket.
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: I've got a golden ticket.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Her name is Marla. She's here in SoCal. They're in
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: NoHo in North Hollywood. Hello, Marla.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: Welcome.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: Big, big band, big band. Listen, last time I called
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: you about Josh Allen and the Poison Spider crawling across
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: his press conference desk. Remember that?
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: I feel like this is a fraudulent golden ticket. Can
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: you admit this is a fraudulent golden ticket? Can you
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: admit that this is not a legitimate? I feel like
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: this is not a legitimate golden ticket.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: In a court of law, you said.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: What is the punishment, Coop, for a false golden ticket?
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: You haven't even heard the case.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: No, he's just admitted it's a fake golden ticket. It's fraudulent.
• 27:38
  Speaker 6: I didn't hear an admission.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Did you not admit? Did you not confess? This is
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: a fake golden ticket you're using.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: God can take my life right now if I'm lying
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: to you, period. Right this second, he can kill me.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: Is that good enough?
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Can I continue? That would not be good for the show.
• 27:56
  Speaker 6: Or would it?
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: Tonight, Ben, I was going to reminisce about Pete in Pittsburgh,
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: Mark the Full Name, the guy, the radio host, Bruce Jacobs,
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: and your friend Lee Klein and your ugly sweater parties.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: Remember that?
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: How could I forget? The original Prince of Darkness, Lee Klein,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: is still out there doing his thing.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: I have some late-breaking news at this time on Fox
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: Sports Radio. Remember the Married with Children show?
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: Long ago, yeah, back in the 90s.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: You know Al Bundy, the guy who threw four touchdowns
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: in one game.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Paul Keiskel. Paul Keiskel, yeah.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: During a coffee break, the girl known as Kelly was
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: brushing Buck the dog's fur just when that pushy next-door neighbor,
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: you know, the lumberjack chick. She sits down close to
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: Kelly and the dog on that stupid couch, you know,
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: the one that Peg always watches Oprah TV, eats bonbons, right?
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: This is a very specific made-with-children story.
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: I like this.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: Well, Buck the dog became jealous of the lumberjack chick,
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: the next-door neighbor. and he lunged toward her in a
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: jealous attempt to bite her. Only security on the set
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: wrestled Buck to the ground. Everyone sued each other and
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: are sick about the whole thing. Let me ask you
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: a question now, Ben. If I'm making this story up,
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: could I go to jail?
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: I'm confused. I feel like I have a headache. I
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: don't know why.
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: Why do I have a headache?
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: Can you explain why I have a headache? Can you
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: explain my headache, my sudden headache here?
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I can explain it.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: All right. Yes. What is your name, by the way?
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: What is your name? Marla. I am Marla in North Hollywood.
• 29:35
  Speaker 7: M-A-R-L-A.
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: M-A-R-L.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: All right. I got you.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: I spoke with you 15 years ago. I used to
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: call in.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: 15 years ago. I know, but I understand. But 15
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: years is a very long time. The golden ticket. How
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: long does a golden ticket last? Like a month? I
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: feel like a golden ticket lasts a month.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but the golden ticket, you said you better call
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: in soon. It's going to be limited.
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: All right. I got you.
• 30:00
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: You told a married with children story, and I feel
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: like you will end up in radio jail for that.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: One more thing, turning the sports, you know, the game
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: about we're going to have Notre Dame come to BYU,
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: probably Utah, right?
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, what do you want? What?
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: Is this too fast for you, Ben?
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: I'm stunned that you were able to use a 15-year-old
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: golden ticket. That blows me away.
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: No, the golden ticket was from a week and a
• 30:28
  Speaker 6: half ago.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: It was not from a week and.
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: A half ago, Coop.
• 30:30
  Speaker 6: It was not.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, boy.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: We did not talk a week and a half ago.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: There was no conversation that we had a week and
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: a half ago where there was a golden time. I
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: do not remember that.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: Ben, would you like to talk about Notre Dame and
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: Bear Boxmeyer with the games coming up this weekend?
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: Not really. I mean, if you want to, you can,
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: but not really.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you want to hit the dump button
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: right now, you can. It's up to you, my friend.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: No, I don't want to hit the dump button.
• 31:01
  Speaker 7: Okay, well, I was going to say.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: Okay, because we're going to have Notre Dame. We're going
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: to have Notre Dame Irish going to Provo, Utah. I'm
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: going to play BYU Cougars. And the quarterback is known
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: for the nickname Bear Boxmeyer. And personally, I.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: Call him the Bear Claw.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: And I understand that when he goes to the drive
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: and gets a chick in the backseat, he becomes the Claw.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: Don't ask.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: All right, all right. Thank you. Alright, that's wonderful. We
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: are so happy that we had that conversation. So 15
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: years from now, oh my god, 15 years from now.
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: Will be 2041?
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Holy crap. I guess that's the next time we'll talk
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: to Marla? I think I'm right on that, right? That's
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: a long time.
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: On that note, let's say hello to Blind Scott. Hello,
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: Blind Scott. Welcome. You're on the Ben Maller's show on Fox.
• 32:04
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it was pretty good. Maybe, dude, maybe I should
• 32:07
  Speaker 8: just come on in another segment, but I'm going to
• 32:09
  Speaker 8: give the rules first about the golden ticket because they
• 32:12
  Speaker 8: should really be known. They're only 30 days. They only
• 32:15
  Speaker 8: last for 30 days, and it's always been like that
• 32:17
  Speaker 8: on the show. I want to come on in a
• 32:18
  Speaker 8: different segment, though. I'm vulnerable, and I feel I'm well,
• 32:21
  Speaker 8: and that call was good, and I could keep talking
• 32:24
  Speaker 8: about Jed's going to call next hour, and I'll go
• 32:26
  Speaker 8: on in the third or the fourth hour.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: You could have let that call go. All right, I'll
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: put you back on hold. All right, go back. Blind Scott.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: Let's say hello to Andy, who's on the Oregon Trail.
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: Hello, Andy.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: Welcome. You're on the Ben Maller Show on Fox. What's
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: going on, Andy?
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: I'm going pretty good, Ben.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: How you doing? If I was any better, I'd be
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: a Snell, but not Blake Snell, because he choked for
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers.
• 32:54
  Speaker 8: He is a choke master. Man, it was pretty hilarious
• 33:00
  Speaker 8: to see that happen back-to-back.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: I'm risking my life, bro.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: The funny thing is, I've still got these Dodger fanboys
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: who are messaging me. They have no critical thinking. The
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: last four playoff starts in Dodger blue for Blake Snell.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: The team is 0-4, and he's got an ERA of
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: over six, and these idiots are still defending him. I
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: would trade his ass. I don't even know. There might
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: be a no-trade clause, but I would get rid of him.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: I would say, like, bye-bye. Get out of here. You're
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: a bum. Go pitch for some other loser team.
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: Him and Shohei Ohtani doing amazing work.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: That's pretty great. How many injuries are they going to
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: claim Ohtani's got? I cannot wait when the Dodgers finally
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: get eliminated here. The amount of injury bull crap they're
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: going to come up with for Otani is next level.
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: I think it's going to have to do with gambling, probably.
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: That went away real fast.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: They made that go away, that's for sure. They made
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: it vanish.
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: I wanted to ask Coop about Bo Nix, because I'm
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: an Oregon Ducks fan and I don't have a football team.
• 34:17
  Speaker 8: I wanted to ask him how he thinks he's going
• 34:18
  Speaker 8: to finish this year out.
• 34:20
  Speaker 6: He's going to finish this year out like he's finished
• 34:22
  Speaker 6: every other year out.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Balling.
• 34:25
  Speaker 6: Balling.
• 34:26
  Speaker 8: No, yes, it's going to be great. He won't get
• 34:30
  Speaker 8: hurt this time, and then he'll go all the way.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just keep telling yourself that, and then if you
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: say it like three times.
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: That's all I can tell myself, Ben.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Much like Beetlejuice, if you say it three times, it'll happen.
• 34:42
  Speaker 8: Well, Ben, I'm going to have a golden ticket in
• 34:44
  Speaker 8: about 30 days, just.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: No, no, wait 15 years. You've got to wait 15
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: years to cash the golden ticket.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: I'm going to go have some momentum in the bathroom.
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: We have fun.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, definitely. That's where you have momentum on the toilet,
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: downward momentum. You definitely have that. All right. Thank you.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: It is the Ben Maller Show. What an amazing couple
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: of calls those were. My God, how lucky are we
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: to take those calls? Are we not lucky? Okay, let's
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: put it down. Moving on, moving on. We have Benny
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: versus the Penny. That's coming up in a little bit.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: Benny versus the Penny. Yeah, I know. By the way,
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts mentioned there was a quarterback claiming injury, and
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: that would be Jalen Hurts, who has confirmed he suffered
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: a calf injury way back in week four against the L.A. Rams.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: So Jalen Hurts claiming that. Eagles were in position to
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: win against Jacksonville last week, but during his weekly chit-chat
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: with reporters, Hurts did reveal he suffered a calf injury.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: Jalen saying that he was late coming out after the
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: team came out because he was having issues with the calf,
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. But apparently he wasn't.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: was able to play and all that stuff. So he
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: gave a long-winded quote, says it was a very unique experience, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: And there we go. So Jalen Hurts, a calf injury.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: Do with that what you want. We have Benny versus
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: the Penny. Here's the Insta trivia. Here it is. Which
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: NFL wide receiver? Ran 111 routes or routes through week
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: five of this season, but managed just nine receiving yards,
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: posting the worst yards per route average at 0.08. That
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: is among roughly 850 qualified receivers going all the way
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: back to last decade. This guy's the worst wide receiver
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: over the first five weeks of an NFL season in
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: the last decade. And we're looking for the name of
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: this player. That is the Insta Trivia. The answer. We'll
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: get to it. And we will do it.

  Speaker 3: Time to roll. Welcome in, militia.
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: Speaking of winners.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: Here's the payoff on the Insta trivia. Which NFL wide
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: receiver ran 111 routes or routes through week five of
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: the season but managed just nine receiving yards? That's the
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: worst yards per route or route average among 850 qualified
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: receivers in the last 10 years. The worst wide receiver
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: performance in the last 10 years. That is the question.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: What is the answer? We don't have a lot of
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: time because we've got Benny versus the Penny. In fact,
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: let's just get to it. I'll give you the answer,
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: the correct answer from your Minnesota Vikings. None other than
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: Jawan Jennings. This guy was a stud for the 49ers,
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: but not for Minnesota. He's been terrible this year. Here
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: we go. That's why Odell Beckham is there.
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: All right, now we'll do it.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: Time to roll.
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: Welcome in, militia. Speaking of winners. Can you handle more
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: malar mayhem? Ladies and gentlemen. Ladies and gentlemen. It's time
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: now for Benny versus the Penny. All right, let's do it.
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: Thursday night kicks off on the Amazon in Denver. Sam
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: Darnold versus Bo Nix, the Seahawks and the Broncos. An
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: all-Western matchup here. And the line on DraftKings is at
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: 2.5 in favor of the road team, Seattle. Now, with
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: some great trends on this, Sean Payton, 33-13-2 against the
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: spread in October the last 15 years. Of course, a
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: lot of that was with Drew Brees. The Seahawks are
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: 7-0 against the spread the week after facing the 49ers
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: the last four years. They've been great. They're also 8-0
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: against the spread on the road after a home game
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: since the start of last season. I tried to find
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: a reason to take the Broncos. I couldn't find one.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: I'm going to take Seattle in this game. The only
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: thing I'm worried about is Sam Donald turning the football over,
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: which is a legitimate concern. A legitimate concern, Sam Darnold,
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: his bugaboo there. Seattle's committed eight turnovers in the last
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: three games. They've been sloppy. You play like that, you lose.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: But the Broncos are beaten and broken. Their secondary is
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: completely depleted. Two of their top guys are out, Patrick Sertain.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: Sertan out. And there's also some guys questionable there. Jackson
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: Smith and Jigba should slice up that Denver secondary there.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: And Bo Nix sucks. It's not that hard to defend
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: Bo Nix. You just crowd the short passing. That's all
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: he does is throw the ball short. He can't throw
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: the ball deep. and the receivers can't seemingly get open.
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: It's a disaster for the Broncos on offense. He's getting
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: people fired there. So as long as Seattle wins the
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: turnover battle, they'll take it. I'll take Seattle. The penny picks,
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: Koopa Loop.
• 40:56
  Speaker 6: The penny is going with the Seahawks.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: All right, so we agree. Seattle is the pick. It's
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: Benny versus the penny every game against the spread.
