- 0:54Speaker 1: said couldn't care less about Troy Aikman's comments. Also, does
- 0:58Speaker 1: Miles Garrett deserve the noise being directed his way from
- 1:02Speaker 1: the Cleveland media for his lackluster performance of Late for
- 1:06Speaker 1: the Brownies and what's your viewpoint on Jason Kelsey attempting

- 1:27Speaker 1: In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show.
- 1:32Speaker 2: We are in the air eywhere audio blokes as we are,
- 1:39Speaker 2: a massive audio fireball coast coast, border to border.
- 1:44Speaker 1: And beyond on the mast and harmmaniously powerful microphones of
- 1:50Speaker 1: FSR am monating live from the pot. Not that pot,
- 1:55Speaker 1: the jackpot of audio hogwash, the world famous Fox Sports
- 1:59Speaker 1: Radio studios, as approved by random Ryan who's in North Carolina,
- 2:05Speaker 1: and this portion of the Ben Maler Shaw on Fox
- 2:07Speaker 1: made possible in part by our friends at ty Iraq.
- 2:10Speaker 1: For over forty years, tire Iraq has been helping customers
- 2:14Speaker 1: like Regina from Minnesota who now lives in Colorado find
- 2:17Speaker 1: the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
- 2:20Speaker 1: ship fast and free back by free road hazard protection
- 2:24Speaker 1: with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation. Rick and
- 2:31Speaker 1: Maryland says morning time when he hears that tire iraq
- 2:34Speaker 1: dot com the way that tire buying show be so
- 2:38Speaker 1: our lead this hour get away from the baseball. We'll
- 2:40Speaker 1: talk more about that if you want, shockingly radio silence
- 2:44Speaker 1: from Seattle. We normally get a lot of calls from Seattle,
- 2:46Speaker 1: but I guess when the Mariners lose, they don't want
- 2:48Speaker 1: to call our lead. This hour, though, is from the
- 2:50Speaker 1: Windy City and the Chicago Bears winners on Monday Night,
- 2:54Speaker 1: but apparently losers according to the broadcast, Fans outraged. How
- 3:00Speaker 1: where are you who not licked the toes of our quarterback?
- 3:04Speaker 1: Very unhappy, very unhappy with Troy Aikman and his performance
- 3:10Speaker 1: on Monday Night football. En If you didn't see the
- 3:12Speaker 1: broadcast or hear the audio on this, maybe not Aikman.
- 3:16Speaker 1: Let's just say that he did not use kid gloves,
- 3:19Speaker 1: He did not bite his tongue, he did not hold back.
- 3:22Speaker 1: In his critique of the Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams,
- 3:27Speaker 1: calling out several of his many mistakes with the Bears
- 3:34Speaker 1: late throws, he used the term luck to describe some
- 3:39Speaker 1: of some of Caleb Williams and the Bears positive plays,
- 3:43Speaker 1: including the game breaking play that allowed the Bears to
- 3:47Speaker 1: get back into the game to catch and run by
- 3:49Speaker 1: Swift That said it was a lucky play. So he
- 3:53Speaker 1: had that. Then you had the Chicago coach Ben Johnson,
- 3:56Speaker 1: who even addressed the commentary in a couple of different
- 3:59Speaker 1: parts of his news conference. Of course, it's very awkward
- 4:02Speaker 1: because these coaches are they don't watch the game, they're
- 4:05Speaker 1: doing the game, and they always like to say, like,
- 4:07Speaker 1: we don't pay attention to the media and what the
- 4:10Speaker 1: media says. But he did address it. And then Caleb
- 4:13Speaker 1: Williams also the man who was lucky, the man who
- 4:18Speaker 1: was late with throws. Caleb Williams also jabbed at the
- 4:22Speaker 1: Monday night football broadcast. Now he posted a photo carousel
- 4:27Speaker 1: on Instagram Caleb Williams with a caption that included Aikman's initials.
- 4:32Speaker 1: It was lucky and then it had the letters TA
- 4:36Speaker 1: for Troy Aikman. The caption read in part, so Williams
- 4:41Speaker 1: was asked about that and this and all of this stuff,
- 4:46Speaker 1: and here's what the Bears quarterback had to say. Take
- 4:48Speaker 1: a listen, let's go the audio tape.
- 4:50Speaker 3: Maybe you don't think, yeah, I get care less. It's
- 4:54Speaker 3: kind of how I've I think I've said multiple times
- 4:57Speaker 3: over my time being here. Fair life isn't fair. People
- 5:01Speaker 3: are gonna say what they.
- 5:02Speaker 1: Have to say.
- 5:03Speaker 3: We win, we lose. People have stuff to say. It
- 5:08Speaker 3: was lucky, it was not lucky. People have stuff to say,
- 5:11Speaker 3: you know, you know, have a bad game, have a
- 5:15Speaker 3: good game. You know, people have stuff to say. So
- 5:17Speaker 3: it's it's it doesn't matter. We're only worried about what's
- 5:20Speaker 3: going on here within this building and with these guys.
- 5:23Speaker 3: So that's all all I can say about that.
- 5:26Speaker 1: All right, let us discuss the question do you believe
- 5:30Speaker 1: Bears quarterback Caleb Williams? Could I love? He screwed this up?
- 5:34Speaker 1: Could care less about Troy Aikman's comments. I've got super villain,
- 5:40Speaker 1: pontoon boat, and plastic fork, and we will combine all
- 5:45Speaker 1: of these things together and we're gonna make some delicious,
- 5:49Speaker 1: delicious Chicago popcorn, which we were gifted, by the way,
- 5:53Speaker 1: our guy Tree very kind, the Chamber of Commerce for
- 5:56Speaker 1: Chicago gave us a little bit of Chicago popcorn, just
- 5:59Speaker 1: the delicious. So on Caleb Williams, is it's fair to
- 6:05Speaker 1: say he's not well spoken? Is that accurate? I believe
- 6:08Speaker 1: that's accurate. He I'm giving this side e. He screwed
- 6:14Speaker 1: this up on multiple levels. If you do a word
- 6:17Speaker 1: by word breakdown Malar style. The word um is a
- 6:23Speaker 1: filler word. We talked last hour about John Smoltz and
- 6:28Speaker 1: the baseball broadcasting guys who say momentum when they don't
- 6:31Speaker 1: know what to say. Maybe they were golfing all day
- 6:34Speaker 1: and not doing their homework. They just say momentum in
- 6:38Speaker 1: general conversation, the word um, and we all say it.
- 6:42Speaker 1: I say it. I'm not against saying it. It's just
- 6:45Speaker 1: something you don't want to say all the time because
- 6:47Speaker 1: it means you're not well spoken. And I was told
- 6:51Speaker 1: by a boss that you're in the spoken word business,
- 6:54Speaker 1: so you might want to avoid saying the word um
- 6:58Speaker 1: more than a few times. Her Caleb Williams not only
- 7:02Speaker 1: did he say I'm a bunch, he also the phrase
- 7:04Speaker 1: isn't and correct me if I'm wrong on this. The
- 7:07Speaker 1: phrase is couldn't care less, not could care less? Right?
- 7:11Speaker 1: Isn't the phrase couldn't care less? Am I wrong on that?
- 7:13Speaker 1: I don't think I'm wrong on that?
- 7:14Speaker 4: Am I?
- 7:15Speaker 5: All?
- 7:15Speaker 1: Right? Here's let's play that again. Can we play the
- 7:17Speaker 1: audio game? So listen with that knowing the phrase you're
- 7:20Speaker 1: supposed to say is I couldn't care less? And how
- 7:26Speaker 1: long is this soundby I don't want to play a game.
- 7:28Speaker 1: He haven't played this game in a while. Do we
- 7:29Speaker 1: know how long the SoundBite is from Caleb Williams of
- 7:31Speaker 1: the Bears, the Chicago Bears quarterback.
- 7:32Speaker 6: Here, it's like thirty six seconds.
- 7:35Speaker 1: Thirty six seconds? How many times did Caleb Williams say
- 7:40Speaker 1: the word um in thirty six seconds? I'm going, okay,
- 7:47Speaker 1: I'm gonna go, well, you go cool because I'll go
- 7:49Speaker 1: last because I don't want to get boxed in. Go ahead, cool,
- 7:51Speaker 1: I see it.
- 7:52Speaker 6: Well, he kept repeating something else, so I wasn't even
- 7:54Speaker 6: paying attention to the ums, so.
- 7:56Speaker 1: He slipped him in.
- 7:57Speaker 6: You could say that, yeah, yes, that's what he kept repeating.
- 8:01Speaker 6: But yeah, so I'm not even sure. I'll just throw
- 8:03Speaker 6: out six.
- 8:05Speaker 1: I'll go twelve and a half. Let's go to the
- 8:07Speaker 1: audio tape. Here's Caleb. Boys, let's count the arms. Caleb Williams,
- 8:10Speaker 1: Bears quarterback. Here we go.
- 8:12Speaker 3: Yeah, I could care less. Uh, it's kind of hard.
- 8:16Speaker 3: I think I've said multiple times over my time being here.
- 8:20Speaker 3: Fair not life isn't fair. People are gonna say what they.
- 8:23Speaker 1: Have to say.
- 8:24Speaker 3: We win, we lose, people have stuff to say. I
- 8:29Speaker 3: was lucky it was not lucky. People have stuff to say.
- 8:34Speaker 1: Hey, you know, I have a bad game.
- 8:36Speaker 3: Have a good game. People have stuff to say. So
- 8:38Speaker 3: it's it's it doesn't matter. We're only worried about what's
- 8:42Speaker 3: going on here within this building and with these guys.
- 8:45Speaker 3: That's all. Well I say about that.
- 8:47Speaker 7: Yeah, Yeah, I got the I got the over, I
- 8:51Speaker 7: got the all. I wait, I win the Caleb Williams game.
- 8:54Speaker 1: What do I win, La Rain?
- 8:55Speaker 7: Or do I win a golden ticket? You did I
- 8:57Speaker 7: win a gold Take it? I want to call it?
- 9:04Speaker 1: Okay, back to the point. So he's not well spoken. Fine,
- 9:07Speaker 1: neither was I when I was his age. However, I
- 9:10Speaker 1: knew couldn't versus could. He said I couldn't care less
- 9:14Speaker 1: he meant to say I couldn't and my nitpicking. Yes,
- 9:17Speaker 1: I'm a talk show host. That's what I do. Oh
- 9:20Speaker 1: my goodness. So if Caleb Williams didn't care about what
- 9:23Speaker 1: Troy Aikman said, he would not have fired up the
- 9:27Speaker 1: Graham and typed it was lucky ta for Troy Aikman
- 9:32Speaker 1: with a little smirk emoji, and then hit the send
- 9:36Speaker 1: button the post button on that. You don't post a
- 9:39Speaker 1: shadow quote unless it stings a little bit. It just
- 9:45Speaker 1: common sense. This is classic. I'm not mad, I'm laughing energy,
- 9:53Speaker 1: except you are mad. You are mad. That was a needle.
- 9:58Speaker 1: You were poked with a needle. Troy Aikman essentially called
- 10:03Speaker 1: him not good, lucky on national television, not poised, not
- 10:11Speaker 1: clutch for the game winning drive, lucky with a capitol
- 10:14Speaker 1: L for a guy like Caleb. You talk about coddle,
- 10:18Speaker 1: professional athlete who spent his whole life back in his
- 10:21Speaker 1: days in high school and then going to Oklahoma and
- 10:24Speaker 1: the University of Southern California as the golden boy. That
- 10:29Speaker 1: is a punch to the ego, not the gut, the ego.
- 10:33Speaker 1: Hall of Famer Dallas Cowboy legend. Do you understand, Kyla
- 10:36Speaker 1: Williams entire life, the Cowboys have sucked. They've been terrible.
- 10:40Speaker 1: Caleb Williams entire life, the Cowboys have med. So Troy
- 10:42Speaker 1: Aikman's like a ghost from a previous life when you
- 10:46Speaker 1: talk about him being a great Dallas Cowboy quarterback. Nonetheless,
- 10:49Speaker 1: here's a Hall of Famer questioning the football IQ of
- 10:54Speaker 1: the quarterback of the Chicago Bears for millions and millions
- 10:57Speaker 1: of people. And Caleb said he was just messing around. No,
- 11:01Speaker 1: you weren't. If you've got to explain the joke, the
- 11:07Speaker 1: rule is you weren't joke and that's it. And there
- 11:10Speaker 1: is a little bit of truth in every joke. If
- 11:13Speaker 1: he really didn't care, he would have just iced it out.
- 11:16Speaker 1: That's what you do. You say nothing, you do nothing.
- 11:19Speaker 1: You let the highlights speak for yourself. You say, I
- 11:22Speaker 1: didn't watch the broadcast. I don't know what you're talking about.
- 11:25Speaker 1: I didn't hear any of that noise. I was playing
- 11:27Speaker 1: in the game instead. What did Caleb do? He screenshot it,
- 11:32Speaker 1: he subtweeted, He posted on Instagram like a high schooler
- 11:36Speaker 1: after a breakup. We imagine it's more likely than not
- 11:40Speaker 1: that Caleb Williams claps back with a manicure, and in
- 11:46Speaker 1: the cartoon bubble in my head, I imagine he would
- 11:49Speaker 1: respond like a gen Z super villain. Not sending flowers,
- 11:54Speaker 1: He's painting fingernails. Don't be shocked if in the next
- 11:58Speaker 1: Chicago Bears game he gets Troy Aikman's face painted on
- 12:02Speaker 1: his cuticles by the scooters his fingernails and he is
- 12:06Speaker 1: a little circle and then an X right across Akman's face.
- 12:10Speaker 1: Now that would be supervillain activity turning the face. Speaking
- 12:14Speaker 1: of super villain, we go to Cleveland, where the Browns
- 12:17Speaker 1: edge rusher Miles Garrett is publicly enemy number one and
- 12:22Speaker 1: he has been under siege for attitude issues. After the
- 12:28Speaker 1: Browns had a no show, an absenteeism performance by Miles
- 12:32Speaker 1: Garrett against the Pittsburgh football team, he was asked if
- 12:36Speaker 1: it's harder to keep playing with the Browns as they
- 12:39Speaker 1: are one in five on the season now, and Garrett
- 12:42Speaker 1: gave a one word answer. Y Ea, h yeah was
- 12:49Speaker 1: his response. Now, this comes after a game in which
- 12:53Speaker 1: the Steelers did whatever they wanted against Miles Garrett. Garrett
- 12:57Speaker 1: had as many sacks as you had. He had as
- 13:00Speaker 1: many quarterback hits as you and I had combined, and
- 13:03Speaker 1: two tackles, no individual tackles. There were assist tackles. He's
- 13:08Speaker 1: been called out by members of the Cleveland fourth Estate
- 13:12Speaker 1: for being a bad leader, among other things. Question, does
- 13:17Speaker 1: Miles Garrett deserve all the noise, all of the noise
- 13:22Speaker 1: being directed his way from the Cleveland media. So Miles Garrett,
- 13:30Speaker 1: based on the quotes that I've been reading from postgame
- 13:34Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh, sounded like a man floating on a pontoon
- 13:39Speaker 1: boat with a lawn chair and a mimosa as the
- 13:44Speaker 1: Cuyahoga River caught on fire and he wasn't in any
- 13:47Speaker 1: hurry to get off the Cuyahoga River. It was on fire,
- 13:50Speaker 1: and he just put that lawn chair down there and
- 13:52Speaker 1: he just kind of enjoyed his drink, and that was
- 13:54Speaker 1: It sounded like that guy Rafael from Orlando they called
- 13:57Speaker 1: Last Hour. It's not some Shakespearean tragedy. It's Cleveland. It's
- 14:03Speaker 1: what they do. This is the Cleveland Browns living up
- 14:07Speaker 1: to the franchise charter. Miles Garrett physically is built like
- 14:11Speaker 1: a Donnis. He's a cheat code. However, it's not Captain
- 14:15Speaker 1: America here. It's not. He's a football mercenary. Two hundred
- 14:19Speaker 1: and four million dollars. Miles Garrett said, I don't want
- 14:23Speaker 1: to play in Cleveland. I don't want to play here.
- 14:25Speaker 1: We can't win here. The Brown said, we want to
- 14:28Speaker 1: keep you. Garrett said, I don't want to play here.
- 14:31Speaker 1: I want to go somewhere else. The Brown said, here's
- 14:33Speaker 1: two hundred and four million. Miles Garrett says, I love Cleveland.
- 14:36Speaker 1: In January love it got to no trade Claws Fort
- 14:41Speaker 1: Knox a Fort Knox gold Bouyon type payout. The Browns
- 14:46Speaker 1: backed up all of the Brins trucks they could get,
- 14:50Speaker 1: and now they filled it instead of gold boullion, they
- 14:53Speaker 1: filled it with brown colored monopoly money. I didn't know
- 14:56Speaker 1: they made that and handed him the keys to the vault.
- 15:00Speaker 1: Sit here, knock yourself out. Okay, I'll take that key
- 15:02Speaker 1: to the vault, thank you very much. And he said, yeah, sure,
- 15:04Speaker 1: I'll stay inside the Factory of Sadness. It's warm in
- 15:08Speaker 1: here and the Wi Fi works pretty good. And that's
- 15:13Speaker 1: it has that thousand yard stare, if you know what
- 15:16Speaker 1: I mean, looking off into the distance, like I could
- 15:18Speaker 1: have been there. I could have been there, I could
- 15:21Speaker 1: have been over there. And again, no sacks, no quarterback hit.
- 15:25Speaker 1: It's a whole lot of woe is Me postgame in
- 15:28Speaker 1: the sound bites. And my man signed the deal with
- 15:31Speaker 1: full knowledge that the Browns are essentially a Netflix reboot
- 15:35Speaker 1: of their own misery every season. It's it's not unfair criticism,
- 15:40Speaker 1: this is the rent coming due. This is part of
- 15:43Speaker 1: the deal when you cash this time. He signed the deal,
- 15:47Speaker 1: the biggest non quarterback check in the history of that
- 15:50Speaker 1: business the town. Those that care about the football team
- 15:54Speaker 1: in the town, they're like, well, listen, this place eats quarterbacks.
- 15:57Speaker 1: It's a graveyard for quarterbacks. And you're supposed to get
- 16:02Speaker 1: to quarterbacks on the other team like a great white
- 16:04Speaker 1: shark in a kiddie pool. You're not doing that. And
- 16:07Speaker 1: you don't get to cry about the current when you
- 16:11Speaker 1: built your house on the river, you don't get to
- 16:13Speaker 1: do that. Miles Garrett isn't being picked on. He's being
- 16:17Speaker 1: paid on a lot of money. And the Cleveland marching
- 16:21Speaker 1: in Chaudow Society are watching their armored tank show right
- 16:27Speaker 1: going to battle, and somehow that armored tank gets stuck
- 16:32Speaker 1: in a pothole the size of Lake Erie. That's not good.
- 16:36Speaker 1: And so Miles Garrett wanted the bag. He got the bag.
- 16:39Speaker 1: You got the bag. What's in the bag? Money, money, money,
- 16:42Speaker 1: a lot of money. You got the bag. Congratulations, and
- 16:46Speaker 1: now you get the heat. He's got a no trade clause?
- 16:49Speaker 1: Is it outrageous? I'm thinking out loud here, He asked
- 16:52Speaker 1: a question. Is it outrageous to think the trade deadlines
- 16:56Speaker 1: clemming up in a couple of weeks. Here the Cleveland
- 16:58Speaker 1: Browns would go to Miles Garrett, it's not working out.
- 17:01Speaker 1: It's not you, it's us. You have the no trade.
- 17:05Speaker 1: Where would you like to go? Let's make a deal.
- 17:07Speaker 1: Let's get you out of here. You got your money.
- 17:10Speaker 1: I know the salary caps a problem, but we can
- 17:13Speaker 1: finagle and cook the books because that's what we do,
- 17:16Speaker 1: and we'll find you a new team. Is there a
- 17:18Speaker 1: world where that happens? Would a team like the New
- 17:21Speaker 1: England Patriots or the La Rams trade a bunch of
- 17:25Speaker 1: draft picks to get Miles Garrett? And where would he
- 17:28Speaker 1: even want to go? If it's as toxic as it appears,
- 17:33Speaker 1: it's not out of the realm of possibility. All right,
- 17:36Speaker 1: fun point to the world Wide Web, where former Eagle
- 17:40Speaker 1: center Jason Kelsey is fighting back against misinformation. What's he
- 17:46Speaker 1: a politician? Yeah, he's upset with social media now. Kelsey
- 17:50Speaker 1: went on the platform formerly known as Twitter, now known
- 17:53Speaker 1: as x to make a public decree and a plea
- 17:58Speaker 1: to his followers, and he said, listen, do not believe.
- 18:03Speaker 1: Listen to me. Do not believe anything attributed to Travis
- 18:08Speaker 1: Kelcey or Jason Kelcey or anyone named Kelsey unless it
- 18:12Speaker 1: comes from the direct platform. He said, we don't know,
- 18:16Speaker 1: you know, you don't know for sure what's going on
- 18:18Speaker 1: and all that stuff. You got to go here. This
- 18:20Speaker 1: is where you need to be now. There were multiple
- 18:23Speaker 1: posts that made the rounds on social media that quoted
- 18:27Speaker 1: Jason Kelsey and gave let's just say, they gave an
- 18:32Speaker 1: impression that he was a douche. It was about Bad
- 18:35Speaker 1: Bunny and the halftime show, and Jason Kelsey pointed out
- 18:41Speaker 1: that he said, listen there, those are not my words.
- 18:45Speaker 1: He didn't say that directly. That's clearly what he was
- 18:48Speaker 1: upset about. So the question what is your viewpoint on
- 18:52Speaker 1: Jason Kelsey attempting to fight social media misinformation? So this
- 19:00Speaker 1: is the attempt is there? This is the attempt to
- 19:02Speaker 1: go to the Sahara Desert and get all the gear
- 19:06Speaker 1: you need to survive the wretched conditions in the Sahara
- 19:10Speaker 1: Desert and then saying I'm going to make this a
- 19:12Speaker 1: great desert. I'm going to plow the Sahara Desert and
- 19:16Speaker 1: I'm going to use a plastic four. It is a
- 19:19Speaker 1: futile effort. Jason Kelse is entering the fund zone. He's
- 19:24Speaker 1: playing whack a mole. He's playing whack a mole in
- 19:27Speaker 1: an attempt to whack down bogus stories about him faster
- 19:33Speaker 1: on X than the other ones pop up. Now you
- 19:36Speaker 1: and I both know this is what It is, an
- 19:38Speaker 1: unwinnable game. The house always wins, and Kelsey's crime here
- 19:44Speaker 1: is not moral outrage. That's not what this is about.
- 19:47Speaker 1: It's believing that this digital funhouse can be reasoned with.
- 19:54Speaker 1: That if Jason Kelsey stands on a digital soapbox from
- 19:58Speaker 1: the bully pulpit and points out that's a bogus story,
- 20:04Speaker 1: that's a bogus story, and that's a bogus story and
- 20:08Speaker 1: waves his arms in the air everywhere, people will suddenly
- 20:12Speaker 1: stop sharing those stories. That is not how the matrix works.
- 20:17Speaker 1: It's not the matrix doesn't work like that. This is
- 20:19Speaker 1: the platform where conspiracy meets clickbait. Bots marry bad actors,
- 20:24Speaker 1: and the bots and bad actors have babies. They give
- 20:27Speaker 1: birth to parody accounts with an extra underscore masquerading as
- 20:31Speaker 1: official sources. You do not win here. The whole game
- 20:34Speaker 1: is to survive, and if you cannot survive, you ignore.
- 20:38Speaker 1: So it's either survive or ignore, and therefore you do survive.
- 20:41Speaker 1: But Jason Kelsey is doing what you'd say, good people.
- 20:45Speaker 1: They're trying to keep his name clean, his good name unsullied.
- 20:49Speaker 1: The trouble is on social media. The lie. The lie
- 20:54Speaker 1: is already running the marathon and at the twenty mile mark,
- 21:00Speaker 1: while the truth is still trying to tie at shoelaces.
- 21:04Speaker 1: It's just a mess. It's just a mess. And by
- 21:06Speaker 1: the time Kelsey hits send on his public plea, the
- 21:11Speaker 1: false quote has been screenshotted, memified, reposted, and stripped of
- 21:17Speaker 1: any context and passed along by thousands of fake accounts
- 21:24Speaker 1: with those little egg things and user names like NFL
- 21:28Speaker 1: fanboy nine eight two seven two three. It is a
- 21:33Speaker 1: noble effort, but it is fighting a wildfire with a
- 21:36Speaker 1: nerve super soaker. The odds of success are not good.
- 21:39Speaker 1: The digital wildfire does not care about the truth, the
- 21:44Speaker 1: facts and all that stuff. It's fed by rage. The
- 21:47Speaker 1: rage clicks right. We know human nature. People both love
- 21:51Speaker 1: to complain about negativity and are helpless to stop consuming it.
- 21:56Speaker 1: It's the people that do the news business learn this
- 21:58Speaker 1: long ago that if it bleeds, it leads. If it's negative,
- 22:02Speaker 1: people love it. And it's the fight or flight nature
- 22:05Speaker 1: of the human condition that you need that information and
- 22:08Speaker 1: in social media, if you're upset, you're engaged, and that
- 22:14Speaker 1: gets monetized by the algorithm, and you don't even blink
- 22:20Speaker 1: when you're you know, some of these reputations on the line,
- 22:22Speaker 1: you don't worry about. Jason Kelsey's again, he can't win this.
- 22:25Speaker 1: If there's any lesson here, it's not for him, it's
- 22:27Speaker 1: for everyone else to stop treating every single stupid post
- 22:31Speaker 1: like the holy scriptures that are out there. Stop rewarding
- 22:35Speaker 1: the dopes with engagement. And Jason Kelsey's swinging his mallet,
- 22:40Speaker 1: remember playing Whack a mole and he's hitting that next
- 22:43Speaker 1: mole and the next and the next, and the next
- 22:45Speaker 1: and the net and we're just watching here laughing and
- 22:48Speaker 1: wasn't that funny. That's that's not gonna work. That's that's
- 22:52Speaker 1: not gonna work at all. It is the Ben Malor Show.

- 32:22Speaker 1: Steve Jackson, the whole thing, the whole thing was amazing.

- 33:38Speaker 1: I think you're gonna be a good call. Okay, listen.
- 33:40Speaker 1: If you're gonna call up and say I got a game,
- 33:42Speaker 1: you don't tell us how to play the game. You say,
- 33:46Speaker 1: I've already gotten the answer, and here's the question, and
- 33:49Speaker 1: who's the closest? It's not, hey, Coop, go count how
- 33:52Speaker 1: many beers were thrown at Ben Wallace that were not
- 33:56Speaker 1: Ben Wallace because he was playing for the Pistons. But yeah,
- 33:58Speaker 1: go ahead.
- 34:00Speaker 10: In fearess. Can't Coop or Lorena look up the video
- 34:04Speaker 10: and actually.
- 34:05Speaker 1: Count a basing segment, not after segment.
- 34:11Speaker 10: No, but you guys can figure it out.
- 34:13Speaker 1: And then that's way too much work. What are you
- 34:15Speaker 1: talking about, Aley, What do you expect them to?
- 34:17Speaker 9: Uh?
- 34:18Speaker 1: My god? So thank you? All right, cool, I sent
- 34:24Speaker 1: you some audio. I hopefully you have that ready to go.
- 34:26Speaker 1: So NFL head coach with a drop the mic moment. Now,
- 34:31Speaker 1: this is the guy who, listen, last week got fined
- 34:35Speaker 1: one hundred grand because he got into the face of
- 34:39Speaker 1: his idiot running back that fumbled the ball before crossing
- 34:42Speaker 1: the goal line. We're talking about Jonathan Gannon, the head
- 34:45Speaker 1: coach of the Cardinals. The Cardinals have had a bunch
- 34:48Speaker 1: of players out with injury and it's a ragtag squad.
- 34:52Speaker 1: They suck yet again, and so Gannon was asked, the
- 34:56Speaker 1: coach of the Cardinals was asked about how you deal
- 34:59Speaker 1: with all of these injuries and how you deal with
- 35:02Speaker 1: bringing players And you'll hear I think you'll hear the
- 35:04Speaker 1: question on this and the answer. But listen, this is
- 35:06Speaker 1: one of the great drop the mike moments from Jonathan Gannon.
- 35:09Speaker 1: Let's go to the audio tape. Take a listen.
- 35:12Speaker 5: Well, how early in your career did you have to
- 35:15Speaker 5: start trying to figure out how to take the emotion
- 35:19Speaker 5: out of coaching As far as when you have all
- 35:23Speaker 5: these injuries and you have all these different pieces, when's
- 35:26Speaker 5: the first time that you.
- 35:27Speaker 4: Can recall it?
- 35:28Speaker 1: Two thousand and seven when our quarterback went to jail.
- 35:37Speaker 1: Oh so good. Oh you might not know this because
- 35:41Speaker 1: it's been almost twenty years. Loraina, do you know who
- 35:43Speaker 1: he's referencing there? No, I have no idea. So there
- 35:46Speaker 1: was this guy named Michael Vick who played for the
- 35:48Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons and was running a dog fighting ring and
- 35:52Speaker 1: got arrested while playing. Yes, and Gannon was a young
- 35:57Speaker 1: coach on the Atlanta Falcons staff when Vick, who was
- 36:01Speaker 1: an MVP level player, most popular player in the NFL
- 36:05Speaker 1: at the time, not Tom Brady, not Peyton Manning, had
- 36:08Speaker 1: a cult following Michael Vick and he got dinged for
- 36:11Speaker 1: dog fighting. And Gannon was on this. But just the
- 36:14Speaker 1: dead pan delivery on that is just great, just absolutely great. Anyway,
- 36:18Speaker 1: he's the Ben Malor show. I thought that was pretty cool.
- 36:22Speaker 1: We've got Mallard of the third degree. Here's the Insta trivia.
- 36:24Speaker 1: You want to answer it on X at Ben Maller.
- 36:27Speaker 1: That's at Ben Maller. Here's the Insta trivia. Falcons running

- 39:18Speaker 1: the third degree? This is one big Ben gets grilled Cooperloo.
- 39:26Speaker 6: There are some analysts suggesting that Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler
- 39:29Speaker 6: has played well enough to deserve a look beyond twenty
- 39:31Speaker 6: twenty five. They point out that Rattler actually has similar,
- 39:34Speaker 6: if not better stats than Michael Pennocks junior this season. Ben,
- 39:37Speaker 6: does Rattler deserve to be considered long term?
- 39:39Speaker 1: No, because Michael Pennix junior does not look like the
- 39:42Speaker 1: long term quarterback in Atlanta. So No, the Saints suck,
- 39:47Speaker 1: and they're gonna get a top five pick in the draft,
- 39:49Speaker 1: and they're going to draft the quarterback who will also
- 39:52Speaker 1: likely suck. But no, I don't buy what they're selling there.
- 39:56Speaker 1: And a lot of those numbers are garbage time numbers.

- 40:04Speaker 6: heads into free agency, it's being reported that he'll be
- 40:06Speaker 6: seeking a five year deal worth an average of thirty
- 40:08Speaker 6: million per year. Ben, do you think the Phillies will
- 40:11Speaker 6: pony have to keep him? Uh?
- 40:14Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he's perfect. You got the designated hitter
- 40:17Speaker 1: in that town. Schwarber's getting a little older, it becomes
- 40:19Speaker 1: a problem, but you'd still hit home lunch. He's not
- 40:22Speaker 1: gonna be able. He's never been a fast guy. I
- 40:23Speaker 1: think it'll work out for him in Philly.
- 40:25Speaker 6: Next, member of the Celtics media. Members of the Celtics
- 40:28Speaker 6: media played a pickup game against members of the Celtics
- 40:30Speaker 6: coaching staff got blown out fifty seven to four.
