• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Here we go. It's our number one. Hour one. Ready
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: for some fun. It's the Ben Maller Show. But you
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: already knew that. You can't stumble onto a podcast. You
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: have to find it and subscribe to it and download it.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of things you have to do. Radio,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: back in the day, you could just find a radio show.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Can't really find a podcast. You have to do a
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: lot of stuff to hear the podcast. So here in
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: hour number one, a reminder before we get going, it's
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: the fifth hour podcast, Tales of Indirectly Being Near Very
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Famous People. So another one of those odd stories happened
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: this week that sounds ridiculous, but it actually happened where
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: I'm watching a game on TV and I have direct
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: access to a viral story that And in many ways,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: I'm in the middle of a viral story, which is
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: very odd. I'll tell you about that. That'll be coming
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: up later on today on the 5th Hour Podcast. You're
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: in hour number one. Jerry Jones says he's not folding
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: the tents on the Cowboys season after they were humiliated
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at home, the winless Buccaneers.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Isn't the bigger problem that Jerry Jones refuses to admit
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: the circus is on fire, though? He's like, oh, things
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: will be OK. I'm disappointed, but things will be OK. Now,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has the stinky itis as well.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: He sounded annoyed that someone barked out, quote, embarrassing as
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: he walked back to the locker room after the game.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: It's believed to be somebody that works at the stadium.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: And he was bothered by that. Your thoughts? And how
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: much does this win mean for Todd Bowles, the embattled coach,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: and his Buccaneers? We'll talk about that as well. All
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: of it's coming your way right about now. Yeah, I know.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: It's supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. It's our number one. How about them Cowboys? Yeah! Man,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: the gift that keeps giving. So lucky that I got
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: to do sports radio in this generation of the cowboy futility.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: They were at it again. Welcome in the beginning of
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: another night of the Ben Maler Show.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: We are in the air everywhere.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Think of this as the opening salvo when you've got it.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: You got to flaunt it, and we're obviously going to
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: flaunt it. Coast to coast, border to border, and beyond,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: on the vast and universally powerful microphones of FSR emanating
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: live from the easy, the speakeasy, guaranteed human as we
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: hang out from the world-famous Fox Sports Radio studios where
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Texas Jack is shaking his head and Somewhere, Daniel, America's
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: favorite crossing guard from Fort Wayne, Indiana, is wondering what's
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: going on. Even Mason the Millennial is asking questions, and
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: they all want to know about this hour. This hour
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: is made possible, I'm told, by the Mallard Militia Board
• 3:17

• 3:44
  Speaker 1: also a little birdie that may or may not be
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: named Kathy in Madison. And she says, you know, I
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: love the Packers. I don't know where to watch them. Well,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you've asked that question because NFL Week 5
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: is here. It began with quite a game. On Thursday night,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: of course, it continues, and it's a big one, NFL
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Week 5, Bears versus Packers. It is Sunday's America's Game
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: of the Week, streaming live on Fox 1. Now, if
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: you miss it live, you're just watching the highlights, so
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: come on, who wants to do that? Catch every play
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: as it happens. Bears-Packers live on Fox 1 is the
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: last communal thing that we have. The interweb has killed...
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: broadcasting in terms of everyone locked in on one event
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: other than the super bowl and a few of us
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: but the nfl has maintained a rather large audience in
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: comparison to everything else so check out the packers and
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: the bears live on fox one this weekend however there's
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: the bears right there and the cheese heads and all
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: that our lead story this hour don't bury the lead
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: my man oh yeah Let's go right to Jerry's World,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: deep in the heart of Texas, the greatest roller coaster
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: of them all. The Cowboys lined up a cupcake. Just
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: show up and enjoy that delicious cream puff. And that's
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: how they kicked off week five of the NFL schedule.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: The 0-4 Buccaneers, the creamsicle Buccaneers, going back to their roots. Suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: They sailed that sinking pirate ship into port. Into Jerry's
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: port right there. It turned out that Jerry was hoping
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: for some glory hole, and he didn't get that. Dak
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Prescott and Dallas thinking this would be an easy win.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Massive favorites on the gambling line over on DraftKings. Al
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Michaels and glory hole. That's right. Al Michaels, Kirk Herbstreet
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: were in the booth on the Amazon. So I don't
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: know if you watched or not. If you're old, you
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: don't know how to watch on Amazon, so you probably didn't.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Perhaps you missed it. Bucky Irving. You know I'm a
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: fan of Bucky's. Bucky Irving running for a career-high 165 yards,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: rumbling and stumbling. He had a 72-yard run. What a burst.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: And he scored not one but two touchdowns. I'm told
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: that's good. And Tampa Bay, a touchdown or greater dog.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: Irf, irf, irf.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: The dogs are live. They came back to beat Dallas 24-16. Thursday,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: first win of the year. So if you had the
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Buccaneers going 0-17, you're a loser. The better story, though,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: is in the losing locker room. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: is under siege. Shocking. Who could have seen that coming?
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Cameras caught on Amazon. Jerry Jones looking absolutely miserable as
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Dallas unraveled. They had possession of the ball. They were
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: matriculating the ball down the field. They entered a touchdown
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: on a two-point conversion because the nerds told them to
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: go for two on the previous touchdown, which I don't
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: care how many times people tell me, well, the math
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: says you're supposed to do it. Dum-da-dum-dum-dum. I think it's
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: the stupidest thing in the world. So does Al Michaels.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Me and Al are aligned. Just like we're aligned, Al
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: likes his steak well done, the proper way to eat
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: a steak, and I like my steak well done. So
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: when you're in line with Al Michaels on that, not bad.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: And no vegetables. No vegetables. And Al's really freaking old,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: and he doesn't eat vegetables. So there you go. Now, afterwards,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Jerry addressed the media. He insisted... that he remains optimistic
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: about the Cowboys' offense. He did express some disappointment about
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: the defense. However, however, he defended the defensive coordinator. I
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: guess we have some of what Jerry had to say,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: so let's give you a little taste here. Here is
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, rich oil tycoon, living the dream as the
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: general manager of the Dallas Cowboys, giving his post-game sermon
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: on the Cowboys' latest loss.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: Extraordinarily, extraordinarily disappointing.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: We really do need to get it done. And there
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: you go. All right, all right. Let's cut out of that.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: All right, we can't hear that. The microphone was over
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: in Waco. We had the microphone was in Waco. So
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: we played that because we had it. Somebody apparently determined
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: to put that in the system. And I'd like to
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: thank them. I think they should get an award from
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: the company because that sounded really good. Let's make the
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: listener have to turn their radio up to 1,000 to
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: hear what the person is saying. All right, trust me.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: So Jerry started by saying he was disappointed, but then
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: tried to sell optimism about the Cowboys offense. And he
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: did express some disappointment specifically about the defense. And yet
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: he defended the hotshot defensive coordinator, Christian Parker. The money quote,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: let's just give you the money quote. We'll work off
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: the money quote. Can we all agree on that? Let's
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: just pretend that didn't happen. Here's the money quote. All right,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: so Jerry Jones' money quote was, this isn't fold the
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: tents here. This isn't fold the tents here. Translation, the
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: circus remains open for business. All right, so that is
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Jerry Jones saying, They're not folding the tents. He talked
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: about making another trade to try to improve the roster.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: He's not folding the tents on the Cowboys season. Isn't
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: the bigger problem that Jerry refuses to admit the circus,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: while it's still open, is on fire. It's on fire.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: So my thoughts on this. I've got Capistrano, Rebranded, and
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Pepsi Game. And we'll put all these together. And we're
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: going to do... The jitterbug. We're going to do the jitterbug. So, A, Jerry,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: by saying he's not folding the tents, I can go
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: back to any year the past 30 years and Jerry's
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: said some version of he's not folding the tents. Now,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: why would he? The circus is sold out. Why would
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: you fold the circus tent if it's all sold out?
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: The clowns are all under contract. Jerry is a master thespian,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: producing a reality show where the same idiots get voted
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: off every year, and you people keep watching. Jerry deserves
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: an Emmy Award for pretending the Cowboys are Super Bowl contenders,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: using the drama as a diversion to distract... From one
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: minor flaw, the team, at least in this game on
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Thursday night, struggled with blocking and tackling, which I believe
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: is somewhat important in professional football. So yet again, we
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: have seen in an island game, Jerry Jones, he built
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: this multi-billion dollar cathedral in Texas, and yet visiting teams
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: regularly treat that like a public restroom somewhere on a
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: rest area. And they just covered in feces and urine.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: It's disgusting. And Jerry loves watching Dallas fans bite fingernails
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: and grind their teeth and all that. But he's got
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: 13 more products to sell. This is only week, well,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: I guess it's week five. So he's got 12 products left.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: This is week five. So 12 products left for Jerry
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: to sell. And he's not going to let a vermin
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: infestation shut his restaurant down. Bring on the rats. Bring
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: on the mice. I see some cockroaches over there. Bring
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: them all in. And much like the swallows returning to
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: San Juan Capistrano, the inevitable Cowboys poop fest arrives predictably
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: every season. Now, granted, this year it's a little early.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: This year it's a little early. The Cowboys are a
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: luxury brand. that is selling a defective product, and Jerry
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: gets richer every time the merchandise malfunctions. What a hustle.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: People thought three-card Monty was a good hustle. No, no,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: what Jerry's got is even better. Even better. It really is.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: And just think, the Cowboys, if they don't get that
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: fluky late win against the Texans, then this is much worse.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: It's bad as it is. They're under. 500 after five
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: games lost. And Cowboys lucky to be in that position,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: only one game under. 500. Now, pinwheeling to the quarterback position,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys, I guess this guy's got lifetime tenure. You
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: can't get rid of him. It's wild. Dakota Prescott. who
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: sounded frustrated according to the media in Dallas there that
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: was outside the locker room. Someone yelled, embarrassing, as Dak
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: was making his way through the bowels of Jerry's world,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: trying to get to the happy place there in the
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: locker room. So somebody yelled out, embarrassing, as he was
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: walking back to the Cowboys locker room. And reporters said
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: it was somebody who worked at the stadium. Something tells
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: me that person's not long for that job. And it
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: was another walk of shame for the Dallas quarterback there.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: He knows a thing or two about that. So the question,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: you got Cowboys quarterback Dakota Prescott sounding annoyed that someone
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: barked out, quote, embarrassing, close quote, as he walked back
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: to the Cowboys dressing room. Your thoughts on that one?
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: So the stadium employee, and we don't know who it is.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I'm guessing it'll come out in the next couple of
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: days because he'll get fired, who heckled Dak Prescott, I
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: believe did not cross the line. That is tremendous passion.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: It's just a huge passion play. He delivered the most
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: accurate scouting report of the evening. It was absolutely embarrassing.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: And actually, when you think about it, he didn't go
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: hard enough. Whoever that was could have yelled, Grand Larceny!
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Grand Larceny! Considering the payroll. The dictionary owes Dak an apology.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Embarrassing is entirely too gentle. for a football atrocity, which
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: is not a real atrocity. It's a football atrocity. We
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: can use the word atrocity because it's not real. It's
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: a football atrocity. It was mortifying, emasculating, humbling, and hideous.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: All of those things. And it's yet another stain on
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: the pro football reference page of Dak Prescott. Not that
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: it matters. He'll probably make more money now. Because of this,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: a team tied for the worst record in the NFL
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: went into your house. Whose house? Your house. Ransacked it.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Took your balls off without anesthesia. And an undrafted quarterback
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: named Jalen Daniels, the guy played at Kansas for like
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: 10 years. And he outplayed the $ 60 million man who's
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: paid like a small sovereign nation. That's what we're talking about.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: That's what happened. Am I being overly dramatic? I don't
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: think I am being overly dramatic. Dak christened this 2026
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Cowboys offense with Gotti. Remember this during training camp? Gotti.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Greatest offense there is. Well, it turns out. The Dallas
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: football team has rebranded to a new acronym. The new
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: acronym is CRAPPY. That's one P. C-R-A-P-Y, which stands for
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Cowboys Really Are Pathetic Yearly. New offense, no longer gaudy. CRAPPY.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Cowboys Really Are Pathetic Yearly. That's what it means. And
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: that's not a football philosophy. It's consumer fraud complaint territory
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: is what it is, right? Dak sold the sizzle. And
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: he served up lukewarm, like a microwave dinner. And the
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: plastic is even on. He didn't take the plastic off.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Bad job by him. 16 points lost. 16 points against
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: a mid-Bucks defense, 0-4 Tampa team, short week, Thursday night,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: without their starting quarterback. And Dak was offended by the review?
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Apparently not the product. That is the underlying condition. That
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: seems to be the problem there, one of the many
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: problems with Dallas. Dak was offended by the person's review
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: and not the actual performance. The Cowboys should have thanked
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: that guy. He was doing some quality control work. And
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Dak has 60 million reasons to develop something that you need.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: That would be much thicker skin, much thicker skin.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: So he was all upset by that in the postgame.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: And let's see. All right. The last word here. So
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: to the Tampa side of things and the Buccaneers left
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: for dead. This was a free money game. Many of
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: you thought I was nuts. I got some feedback on
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: the email. You picked the Buccaneers. I didn't think the
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Bucs were going to win the game. I just thought
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: they'd lose a close game. And they were trending that
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: way to lose a close game. And there's no way
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: you can think the Cowboys defensively, the way they stopped
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: the run coming into this game, would be able to
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: stop anybody. And they couldn't stop the Buccaneers running game
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: and Bucky Irving and all that. But the last part
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: of this, to the Tampa side of things. So the question,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: how much does this win mean to for Coach Todd
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Bowles and the Buccaneers. So after a minutes-long review of
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: the available information, Todd Bowles has been living through a
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: season-long El Nino! It's much like the guy that used
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: to call the show. But for one night, the clouds parted,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: the sun came out, and the birds actually chirped, zippity-doo-dah, zippity-day.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: And let's be honest. The Buccaneers were a dead relationship.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: They had little passion. There was not a lot of excitement.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: There appeared to be no rhythm, no rhythm to it.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Suddenly the spark was back. The spark was back. This
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: was the football equivalent of getting a stay of execution
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: from the governor at 1159 or being that woman they
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: tried to kill in Tennessee who survived the first woman ever.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: I think first person ever. Did you see that story
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: the other day? That's wild, right? Tried to kill her.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: They couldn't even kill her. How about that? Anyway, listen,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: Tampa Bay is still alive, not because they're good. Let's
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: not confuse the fact that the Buccaneers are good. They're not.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: They're alive because the NFC South is the only division
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: where you can start 0-4 and still have someone hold
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: the elevator open for you. You got the Saints, you
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: got the Panthers, the Falcons. Ah, come on. Everyone's all
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: horny for the Falcons now. Let's wait and see. You
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: beat the Packers and the Saints. Not exactly a murderer's row.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: And they have the Ravens upcoming this weekend without Lamar Jackson.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: But in terms of this game for the Buccaneers, this
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: was a Pepsi game. Gotta have it. And for once,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Tampa did not grab the RC Cola. They actually did
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: the right thing. They grabbed the Pepsi. Gotta have it.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: That was the old marketing slogan. If you're old, you
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about. Anyway, Bucky Irving, majestic. Majestic?
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Almost as good as Beaver Nuggets at Bucky's. He was
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: like a thoroughbred running through a parking lot full of
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: shopping carts, and Supermarket Steve was trying to put them
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: all back, and no! Anyway, Todd Bowles hasn't just been
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: on the hot seat. He was floating on one of
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: those plastic floating... What do you call them? You know those,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: the pink thingamajigs? Yeah, he was floating on that in
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: a boiling cauldron. And someone finally turned down the burner.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: His guys are still scratching. There's still some clawing. Playing, playing.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: somewhat hard for him. And that's how crazy it is.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: In today's NFL, simply having players who still give a
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: damn qualifies as some kind of heartwarming achievement. It's just wild. Now,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: keep in mind, even though this was nice, and I'm
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: a Todd Bowles fan. I think he's a much better
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: soundbite than he is a head coach. We like Todd Bowles.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: He's given us some good content over the years, coaching
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: mostly crappy teams. But keep in mind, Todd Bowles isn't
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: out of the woods. He's not out of the woods.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: But for one night in Jerry's world, the Wolves have
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: stopped howling. The Villagers have put down their pitchforks and
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: their torches. The Executioner has taken a coffee break and
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: is having a donut right now. It's a cinnamon roll donut.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: It's my favorite donut, the cinnamon roll. It is the
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Ben Maller Show. If you... would like to be part
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: of this show. If you want to be part of this,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: you can be part of the fun right here. By
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: the way, I just saw this. Can we play this again?
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: So here's Dak Prescott. I mentioned this, obviously, earlier here.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Somebody called out embarrassing. Here's Dak, asked about that topic,
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: the word embarrassing. Here's what Dak had to say. Take
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: a listen.
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: It's a loss we're supposed to have, definitely supposed to have.
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: To use the word embarrassing– It's tough. I feel like
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: I'm discrediting the NFL if I use that, and particularly
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: the Tampa Bay Bucs and a great Todd Bowles coach
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: and defensive coach team. Guy's been a winning coach for
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: a long time, and whether he's been a head coach
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: or a defensive coordinator, and that's the plan. And what
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: they did tonight is the reason for that. And so
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: to say embarrassing, I think I'd be discrediting them. But
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: we're definitely supposed to win this game. This is a
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: game that was... we're supposed to have on paper or
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: whichever way you want to look at it. And I
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: think Shadi said it best in the locker room. In
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: this league, you've got to win the games you're supposed
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: to win. And when a winless team comes into your
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: home stadium on a Thursday night primetime game, yeah, we're
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: supposed to win that. And so it sucks and right
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: up there close to embarrassing. But I don't know if
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: I would say that.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Let me clear my throat here. Bull crap. Bull crap.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Come on, Dak. All right.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: Stop.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Just stop.
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: This is, again, part of the problem. You can be embarrassing.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: You don't have to, oh, I can't say the word embarrassing. Dude,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: you're getting $ 60 million a year. You got outplayed by
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: a guy based on his college tape should be selling
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: insurance somewhere. And he just shoved it down your throat.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: And I wouldn't use the word embarrassing.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Oh, my.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: All right, it is the Ben Maller Show. If you
• 22:28

• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Your comments can and will be used against you. So
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: please act accordingly. All right, back to it we go.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: And Late Night Drug Tester writes in, says, I know
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: it's early, but I think Jerry's going to get the
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Salvation Army kettle out and hope that other NFL teams
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: will donate some talented players. The Baltimore Freeloader account writes in, says,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: What's been more embarrassing than Dak and the Cowboys? At
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: least Jerry polished up the stadium so that Al Michaels, Kirk,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: and his dog Peter... Could enjoy the place. Outstanding amenities
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: with crappy football. We know what that stands for. And
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: now that you've spelt it out clearly. Analog Al writes
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: in from Parts Unknown. He says, why is the perfect
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: word describing the Cowboys performance not acceptable? That means this
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: means the Cowboys are done ski. So he says now
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: the number one Ben Maler Show burner is now back
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: with a bullet and says, you'll say it with me
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: on three. One, two, three. Mr. Softee, Cowboy Dan is
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: turning in his grave right now. You have an embarrassing
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: game and double that by trying to get An employee
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: fired because he told you the truth. New age athletes
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: are so soft, man. Dak, grow some balls, my man.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: From the burner account, the top burner account. Nostradinus, the
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: legends are out tonight. Nostradinus writes in, says, listen, the
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Cowboys did a great job of winning the first quarter,
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: which according to my betting slip was all that was needed.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Good job by them. Of course, didn't the Bucs, the
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Bucs won on an 11-minute drive. With a undrafted quarterback,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: 0-4 record, 11 minutes, a couple seconds short of 11 minutes,
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: shoving it down the throat of the Cowboys. And they scored, what, seven?
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Was it seven seconds into the second quarter or something
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: like that? It was real quick into the second. It
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: was like right away they scored. The Bucs' 11-minute drive.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Big Rig Rob, he's back as well. I told you,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: all the legends are off or back on the show.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: He says, I'm off the dreaded day shift. I missed
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: a live show. That AT & T Stadium employee deserves
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: a promotion after spilling truth serum all over Dakota and
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: the boys. If he does get canned, he'll be unemployed
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: for about five seconds. A + + + +. That
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: is from Big Rig Rob. Gunner from the break room
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: eating a tuna fish sandwich, and it's smelling up the
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: entire break room there at the Walmart in northern Minnesota says,
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: so how bad is Dak? He's just the world's largest
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: dumpster fire, he says. All right, now what else do
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: we have? Doc Dan writes in from Minnesota. He says,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: consider for a moment the term used for a steak
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: that is called well done. The other degrees are generic.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: And only one is complimentary. All right. Tom from Fullerton.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: We haven't heard from Tom in a while. We met
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Tom at one of the meet and greets we did
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: back in the day. He says, I would personally like
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: to thank the Maller Show for implanting the image of
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: the Jerry Dome coated in feces and urine like a
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: neglected rest stop. Absolutely. Yeah, I've been to some bad places.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: rest stops i think we all have here on the
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: road the good thing about living in the west driving
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: through the desert it's god's bathroom so you can just
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: poop or pee wherever you want out there and you
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: might get bitten by a snake but there's plenty of
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: room to just unload uh kyle writes and says mallor
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: your beloved cowboys continue to be a pile of feces
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: the furthest thing from america's team 30 years in county
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: i don't know what you're talking about kyle this is
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: so good you know how horrible it would be if
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys ever actually became good and won I don't
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: know if I'd be able to handle that that would
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: be a nightmare and fortunately I don't have to worry
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: about that because they're never going to win Jerry I
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: know his face is a lot younger than the rest
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: of his body and all that but my god Come
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: on now. What are we doing? Anyway, we'll take some calls.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: It is a call-in show. If you would like to
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: be part, 877-99-ON-FOX is the call-in number. Also, we'll get to,
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: so you want to work in the NFL? You want
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: to work in the NFL, huh? What does that exactly mean? Well,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: we'll explain what that's all about. An amusing story. Amusing story,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: which happened, played out in the NFL. You might not
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: have seen it if you were not paying attention. Cowboys
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: and Buccaneers. Let's go to the phones, though, and eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Let's say hello to Lucky Tony, who's in the leadoff chair.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: He's in the bay. Hello, Lucky Tony. Welcome.
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: Hey, Ben.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: What would I say if Alexa Rydell was wearing Bears panties?
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: If you be good to me.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Oh, I'll be good to you.
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: And we'll both ride home in my automobile.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: Thanks, Ben. Anthony is in Louisiana. Hello, Anthony. Yes, wonderful.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: He's going to be on Broadway coming up. Anthony, Louisiana.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: Did he survive his operation or is that today? I'm confused.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: Is it today, Lorraine, or was it yesterday? I'm confused.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: I thought it was yesterday. Hey, what's going on?
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: Thank you for praying for me.
• 31:28
  Speaker 6: It turned out to be my favorite.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: All right. You're all good. So you're already back. You're
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: calling the show. I thought you were going to miss
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: a couple days.
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: Hey, Lorraine.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: Hey, Kurt. Hi, Anthony.
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: Thank you for praying for me, Lorraine.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: Of course.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: I don't pray very much, so I'm glad I could
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: do that for you. Yeah, if she goes to church,
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: she gets hit by lightning, so she's got to be
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: very careful. But, yeah, no, I hear you. So you're
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: all good, huh?
• 31:54
  Speaker 6: Well, my team, the Cowboys lost.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a tough one, wasn't it? Did you
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: watch the game? Yeah, a little bit of it. You
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: didn't watch any of it. Come on, don't lie to me.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: You didn't watch a second of that game. Well, I
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: told my friend Andre, I said, hey. All right. Thank you.
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: We're off to a flying start. Boy, is this great.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Screamin' Steven. That'll crank things up a
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: couple of bucks. Hello, Screamin' Steven. Welcome.
• 32:20
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: This is great, man.
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: How are you doing?
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: How are you doing, buddy? Tell me how you're doing.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: I want to hear how you're doing. No, no. Nobody
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: cares how I'm doing. In 1975, Drew Pearson pushed off.
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: I remember that.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: And the Vikings got burned.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: And I'm so sad about that. It's so great. I
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: love it when the Cowboys lose. 50 years later, you're
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: still bitter. I like it.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: Well, a little bit, yeah, because the Vikings, you know,
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: they choke all the time.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Too, you know. Yeah, that's true, yeah.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: Well, I got to ask you, did you ever figure
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: out where you're going in North Dakota for that party
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: or that anniversary?
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: No, it's not until next year, so in the summertime.
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but I need to know when.
• 33:16
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: I mean, not when.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: I need to just know where. I promise I will
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: let you know plenty of months in advance, okay? I'm
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: just trying to get through the day. I just want
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: to get through the day here, Screaming Steven. I'm just
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: trying to survive the day.
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: I've got to tell you, I thank Coop for taking
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: my call, but I've never really.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: Said anything to Lorena.
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: Can I tell Lorena something, please?
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: All right, hold on a second. Let me check. Lorena,
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: this guy Screaming Steven, he would like to say something
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: to you. Is that all right? Yeah, I'd love it. Okay,
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: go ahead.
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: Lorena, you're the bomb. And you know what?
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: Your name is beautiful.
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: I have an aunt in Williston, North Dakota, who's named Lorena,
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: and it's a wonderful name.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Why, thank you. I wonder how she spells it.
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: I'm pretty burnt, so I don't remember if.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: There's not an H in it.
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: It's Lorena.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: It's spelled like it sounds.
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: No?
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: Probably not. But no, it's cool. It's cool. I'm glad.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much. I don't know how to spell.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: That's a tough question. I wouldn't.
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I just know her name is Lorraine. Wow.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: That's my funnest thing is whenever I go somewhere and
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: they ask what my name is, they never spell it right.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, that's fair. That's a beautiful, obscure name, though.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: Because it's Lorena, not Lorena.
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: Right, it's the.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: Queen in Spanish. Oh, I'm sorry. My aunt is Lorena.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: Like Lorena. Oh, devastation.
• 34:44
  Speaker 6: So now we wasted all this air time.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: We did, yeah. It's R for the course, R. Remember
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: our back with the bison and the North Dakota fun fact?
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: Remember?
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: The Mountain West? There's no memory of that. That's completely gone.
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we bet that I said the Bison would win
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: the Mountain West.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: And if they don't, you have to come up with.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: The funnest fun fact ever about North Dakota.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: Write it down, Coop, please. All right, we'll do that.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: I got to go. Thank you, Screaming Steven. All right,
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: go away. Screaming Steven. Real quick, Anthony is in Anaheim. Hello, Anthony. Welcome.
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: Big Ben Maller. I'm glad that you did an El
• 35:29
  Speaker 6: Nino shout-out from my buddy Michael. You know, he's the
• 35:32
  Speaker 6: one who determines how much crap is in the ocean
• 35:34
  Speaker 6: in Orange County.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: Oh, is that right? He checks the water to see
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: the feces?
• 35:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah, all that crap. Like, hey, is it safe to
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: swim here?
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: It's not.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: Oh, I want to work like that.
• 35:45
  Speaker 5: Can I get his information?
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: Does he drink the water?
• 35:50
  Speaker 6: He never goes in the ocean. He said it's all
• 35:51
  Speaker 6: terrible all the time.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. I don't really like going to the
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: ocean in California. I go to Hawaii because I can
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: see through the water, but in the coast of California,
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: the water is disgusting.
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah, the runoff has a lot of fecal matter in it.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: As much as I love poo, I don't want to
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: swim in it. No thanks.
• 36:09
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he said it's just an acceptable level that people
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: go by, but there's always crap in the water.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I can tell. I love when they have
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: oil spills, too, and there's, like, oil for months and months.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: And they're like, oh, it's safe, though. It's fine. Yeah,
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: oil all over the beach. You walk on the beach,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: your feet covered in oil. It's just great. All right.
• 36:28
  Speaker 6: Ben, when are they going to take away Dak's name
• 36:31
  Speaker 6: and start making people call him Dakota?
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: They should. His mom gave him the name Dakota. I
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: think he should be Dakota.
• 36:38
  Speaker 6: He hasn't earned a nickname yet, so they should only
• 36:41
  Speaker 6: refer to him as Dakota.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: I agree. I agree. I'll go to bed. It's past
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: your bedtime. All right, go away. Time now for the
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: Who Am I game. Here we go. The Who Am
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: I game. This is where I pretend to be somebody else.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: We call it the Who Am I game. You see
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: how that works. And here it is. Since the start
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: of the Super Bowl era, Tampa Bay's Jalen Daniels and
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: me are the only two undrafted rookie quarterbacks to have
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: beaten the The once proud Dallas Cowboys. Again, there's only
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: one other person that's done it. Since the start of
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl era, Tampa Bay's Jalen Daniels and me
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: are the only two undrafted rookie quarterbacks to have beaten
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: the The once-proud Dallas Cowboys. Who am I? That is
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: the question, the answer. We'll get to it. We'll do
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: it next.
• 37:28

• 37:50
  Speaker 1: you get your podcasts, so make sure to check it out.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: All right, back to it. So you want to work
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: in the NFL. Let's say you get hired as a
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: staffer for the Dallas Cowboys. So Joey Porter Jr., has
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: a case of writing the vomit comedy. He was apparently
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: barfing all over the locker room. He showed up. He
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: was supposed to play with the Cowboys. He got sick,
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: and he had some kind of stomach bug, and that
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: was it. So Porter, unable to play, he was listed
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: as inactive. He was spotted on camera leaving the locker
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: room during the game. He walked out of the locker room,
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: and one of the Cowboys staffers was with him, he
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: got an escort, and the cowboy staffer, his job was
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: to hold the trash can. You imagine, hey, mom, I
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: got my dream job. I'm working for the Dallas Cowboys. Really? Oh, Johnny,
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: what are you doing? Are you helping Jerry Jones out?
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: Are you helping Dak Prescott? No, no, no, no. I'm
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: the trash can guy. When one of the players gets
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: a tummy ache and is puking his guts out, I
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: hold the trash can because apparently these guys are unable
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: to hold their own trash can. They can't carry a
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: barf bag, so my job is trash man guy, just
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: in case one of the guys has to puke.
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: Probably gets paid twice as much as I do.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: 100%. Coop's looking to apply for that job right now,
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: and uh, I should go there. Uh, absolutely. Why not?
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: All right. Uh, let's get to the payoff on the,
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: who am I game? Here we go. Since the start
