Speaker 1: As the fairy godmother sang, bibbidi-bobbidi-boo, it's hour number three,
0:07
Speaker 1: hour number three, and a little college-slash-NFL-football-hybrid story for you.
0:13
Speaker 1: Thumbs up or thumbs down on Zavian Harris and Daquan
0:17
Speaker 1: Wright being done dirty by Lane Kiffin and LSU. These
0:22
Speaker 1: are the two players that went to the NFL training
0:24
Speaker 1: camp and then tried to go back to college. The
0:27
Speaker 1: NFL has now banned them. from playing this season professional football,
0:32
Speaker 1: at least at the NFL level. Also, what is the
0:35
Speaker 1: NCAA's message on Western Michigan getting the screw job by
0:40
Speaker 1: Michigan on the replay shenanigans? The NCAA confirming that the
0:45
Speaker 1: wrong decision was made in that game, so I'm sure
0:47
Speaker 1: they'll correct it, unless they don't. Also, half a dozen
0:51
Speaker 1: power football programs are pushing $ 50 million payrolls in football.
0:57
Speaker 1: At what point did college football become the NFL without
1:00
Speaker 1: a salary cap? We'll analyze that. And we never shut
1:05
Speaker 1: our traps. Here it is, our number three. Stay away,
1:15
Speaker 1: stay away, stay away. Welcome in the beginning of another
1:21
Speaker 1: hour of the Ben Maller Show. We are in the
1:24
Speaker 1: air everywhere. That's right. I know. I know. It's rather shocking.
1:33
Speaker 1: I realize that. Yeah. With bulldust. We have a lot
1:36
Speaker 1: of bulldust here. I don't know why. And this is
1:40
Speaker 1: where imagination comes to life, unless it doesn't. Coast to coast,
1:44
Speaker 1: border to border, and beyond, on the vast and lyrically
1:51
Speaker 1: powerful microphones of FSR emanating live from the headquarters. This
1:57
Speaker 1: is your hot take headquarters. You give us a couple minutes.
2:02
Speaker 1: We'll either give you a headache. Or a hot take
2:06
Speaker 1: and possibly both. I'm risking my life. I know. Well,
2:09
Speaker 1: you are. There must be some big video game thing
2:12
Speaker 1: coming up. Blake Snell's hurt again. We'll have to go
2:14
Speaker 1: check on that. We are guaranteed human last we check
2:17
Speaker 1: before some AI replaces us. From the world famous Fox
2:22
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Studios. Where Trucker Shane and Big Rig Rob
2:29
Speaker 1: got together and said, you know, we would really like
2:32
Speaker 1: some bull. And I said, as long as my nice
2:35
Speaker 1: friend from Ottawa, Paul in Ottawa, chimes in, we're good.
2:39
Speaker 1: And then he said, well, I don't know about Paul
2:40
Speaker 1: in Ottawa. Well, how about the Cape Cod paperboard? Well,
2:43
Speaker 1: I said, yeah, I met the Cape Cod paperboard. Nice guy. Okay, fine.
2:47
Speaker 1: We'll do that. And it's all about Bolt. Time to

3:15
Speaker 1: our lead story, don't bury the lead, man. It's a
3:17
Speaker 1: hybrid story. Our lead is from the company memo, because
3:20
Speaker 1: there's nothing I like more than memos from giant conglomerates.
3:25
Speaker 1: I love them. I love them. I love them. I
3:28
Speaker 1: love them. I love them, unless I don't. So we
3:30
Speaker 1: have learned that the NFL sent out a league-wide memo saying,
3:37
Speaker 1: declaring that Zavian Harris and Daquan Wright are ineligible to
3:44
Speaker 1: play for any NFL team during the 2026 season. Now,
3:49
Speaker 1: you don't know who those guys are. Zavian Harris and
3:52
Speaker 1: Daquan Wright are football players. They were trying to play
3:56
Speaker 1: at LSU. Harris is a defensive tackle, and Daquan Wright
4:01
Speaker 1: is a tight end. And Harris was in training camp,
4:05
Speaker 1: I believe, with the Saints. I think Wright was with
4:07
Speaker 1: the Browns. And they played for Lane Kiffin at Ole Miss.
4:11
Speaker 1: And they entered training camp as undrafted free agents. So
4:15
Speaker 1: they got released. And then they said, OK, I'm going
4:18
Speaker 1: to do the hop, skip, and jump. And I'm going
4:22
Speaker 1: to go over and I'm going to go play college
4:24
Speaker 1: football again.
4:27
Speaker 2: You can't do that.
4:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to bet. So they went through the courts.
4:32
Speaker 1: They battled the courts, and it turned out that LSU,
4:37
Speaker 1: realizing that they did not want to deal with the
4:40
Speaker 1: Southeastern Conference and the NCAA and all that, LSU decided
4:45
Speaker 1: not to actually put them on the roster. They did
4:49
Speaker 1: the old okey-doke. So if you haven't been following this,
4:52
Speaker 1: perhaps not, this got cranked up a couple of notches
4:56
Speaker 1: because Zabian Harris, the defensive tackle who had been in
5:00
Speaker 1: camp with the Saints. We are told that he actually
5:02
Speaker 1: worked out for the Green Bay Packers this week. Can
5:06
Speaker 1: you imagine that? So he goes to camp with the Saints,
5:10
Speaker 1: not good enough to make the Saints, goes to LSU
5:13
Speaker 1: to play for LSU. They say, we can't do that
5:17
Speaker 1: because we'll get in trouble. And then he goes back
5:19
Speaker 1: to the NFL to Green Bay to try out. Now,
5:22
Speaker 1: it turns out that that is what inspired Green The
5:26
Speaker 1: memo from the NFL. Now, how do we know the
5:28
Speaker 1: memo exists? Because the NFL made sure all of their
5:32
Speaker 1: useful idiots in the media promoted it on social media.
5:36
Speaker 1: And the attorneys for these two players are considering other
5:39
Speaker 1: legal options. Of course, many social media pundits are portraying
5:44
Speaker 1: these people as victims of the system. So that is
5:48
Speaker 1: a good jumping off point. Let us discuss. You're going
5:53
Speaker 1: to go thumbs up. Or are you going to go
5:55
Speaker 1: thumbs down? Thumbs up or thumbs down on Zavian Harris
6:00
Speaker 1: and Daquan Wright being done dirty by Lane Kiffin and
6:03
Speaker 1: LSU and Big Sporty. So my take on this, I've
6:08
Speaker 1: got sippy cup, cash register, and Burger King. And we
6:14
Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together and enjoy a nice,
6:20
Speaker 1: cool breeze is what we're going to enjoy. All right.
6:24
Speaker 1: It's going to be lovely. Now, to lead off here,
6:28
Speaker 1: can we please, please stop the praying at the Tabernacle
6:36
Speaker 1: of Victimhood, the Church of Victimhood? These guys took a
6:40
Speaker 1: calculated risk, and it turns out that it was a
6:44
Speaker 1: defective calculator, and it went kaboom, and it exploded. It exploded.
6:51
Speaker 1: I don't know either one of these guys. Neither do you.
6:52
Speaker 1: But Zavian Harris and Daquan Wright, they chased Lane Kiffin
6:56
Speaker 1: to LSU after they didn't make NFL rosters. They chased
7:00
Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin like kids following around the ice cream truck.
7:05
Speaker 1: And now the truck left the neighborhood. And they each
7:10
Speaker 1: had a sippy cup. They had the sippy cup ready
7:13
Speaker 1: to enjoy more of the nectar of the NIL gods.
7:19
Speaker 1: They were going to LSU not because they loved the
7:22
Speaker 1: college experience. They were going there because they were going
7:24
Speaker 1: to get paid. And that turned out to ignite a
7:29
Speaker 1: war between Baton Rouge and the Southeastern Conference that spilled
7:33
Speaker 1: right into the professional football ranks. And so these guys
7:37
Speaker 1: couldn't stick in the NFL, which is no crime. Many
7:40
Speaker 1: people don't make NFL rosters because of politics or they're
7:43
Speaker 1: just not good enough. And then they couldn't make it
7:46
Speaker 1: on the LSU roster for the same reason, because that
7:50
Speaker 1: would have caused more problems. And LSU genuflected because of
7:54
Speaker 1: the pressure. And now the NFL says, you cannot come back.
7:59
Speaker 1: We broke up with you. You can't come back. This
8:03
Speaker 1: is the personification of being in LSU. The football Bermuda Triangle.
8:10
Speaker 1: It is. So you wonder, like, what's next? Where do
8:13
Speaker 1: these guys go? So they can't go to college. They
8:16
Speaker 1: can't go to the NFL. I'm assuming they can't go
8:20
Speaker 1: play for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers because the CFL usually
8:24
Speaker 1: follows the lead of the NFL. So what's left? Do
8:26
Speaker 1: they go to, like, Europe? Is there a team in Budapest?
8:30
Speaker 1: The Budapest Fighting Goulash, they can go play for that team.
8:34
Speaker 1: These guys knew it was risky business. And they did
8:38
Speaker 1: it anyway. I don't think of them as victims. They
8:40
Speaker 1: went for the money. Not for the love of the
8:42
Speaker 1: game or anything like that. I don't blame them for
8:44
Speaker 1: trying to get the money. But let's not sit here
8:47
Speaker 1: and it's like a double-edged sword. It's like, well, you know,
8:50
Speaker 1: they really wanted to play football. No, they wanted the
8:52
Speaker 1: money and lane, I'm sure. I'm imagining there was a
8:55
Speaker 1: lot of negotiations. Hey, you guys aren't going to make
8:57
Speaker 1: it in the NFL. We'll pay you more than you'll
8:59
Speaker 1: make on the practice squad. Okay, that sounds good. I'll
9:03
Speaker 1: show up. And so they've gone from the NFL... Try
9:07
Speaker 1: to make a roster guy to NCAA litigants to football's version.
9:15
Speaker 1: You know what they are? They're like Tom Hanks in
9:17
Speaker 1: that movie, The Terminal. Remember that old Tom Hanks movie,
9:20
Speaker 1: The Terminal? They're just kind of stuck. They're stuck in
9:22
Speaker 1: the terminal. That's where they are. I hope they enjoy
9:25
Speaker 1: the food court at the terminal. All right, furthermore, to
9:28
Speaker 1: the judges' chambers. The judges' chambers we go. And that
9:34
Speaker 1: is where the NCAA has admitted, the NCAA has admitted
9:40
Speaker 1: the replay officials goofed. Who goofed? I've got to know.
9:45
Speaker 1: That would be the replay officials in that Michigan, Michigan
9:50
Speaker 1: 13-12 win over Western Michigan on the Hail Mary. And
9:55
Speaker 1: the NCAA announcing that instant replay protocols, quote, were not fulfilled.
10:01
Speaker 1: Let me repeat that for those of you who are
10:03
Speaker 1: intoxicated and working and tired and not paying attention. The
10:07
Speaker 1: NCAA announced that instant replay protocols, quote, were not followed
10:13
Speaker 1: on the second to last play of the game. Now,
10:15
Speaker 1: the most damning part of this. The juiciest part of
10:20
Speaker 1: this story is the NCAA conceded, quote, had the proper
10:26
Speaker 1: protocols been followed, the outcome of that game would have
10:31
Speaker 1: been different, close quote. So that means they're changing the decision.
10:36
Speaker 1: They're taking a win away from Michigan and doing the
10:39
Speaker 1: right thing and giving Western Michigan a victory, right? No. Despite...
10:47
Speaker 1: The clear admission, acknowledging that the mistake effectively screwed over
10:52
Speaker 1: the Broncos of Western Michigan and forever changed the result.
10:57
Speaker 1: The NCAA decided that Michigan's victory will remain a win,
11:03
Speaker 1: even though it wasn't a win. They lost in regulation
11:06
Speaker 1: and were given one more play. And they will not
11:09
Speaker 1: overturn it. They claim, oh, we can't do anything. We're
11:14
Speaker 1: not allowed to do it. If I was at Western Michigan, oh,
11:18
Speaker 1: my God. All right, so the question, what is the
11:22
Speaker 1: NCAA's message on Western Michigan getting screwed by Michigan on
11:28
Speaker 1: the replay shenanigans? What message are they sending? So before
11:34
Speaker 1: I get to that, if I was Western Michigan, I
11:36
Speaker 1: would be on a rampage. I would be on an
11:38
Speaker 1: absolute rampage. I would. But the NCAA's message to Western
11:42
Speaker 1: Michigan is basically that Congratulations. You guys won in regulation.
11:46
Speaker 1: You were right. I hope you enjoy the loss. I
11:50
Speaker 1: hope you really enjoy the loss. And why did it take, what,
11:53
Speaker 1: three weeks after? Three weeks after the Big Ten replay boobs,
11:58
Speaker 1: the replay booth boobs went full Ocean's Eleven and manufactured
12:04
Speaker 1: an extra second that didn't exist anywhere, the NCAA finally
12:09
Speaker 1: admitted the replay protocol was not followed and that the
12:13
Speaker 1: outcome would have been different. The translation on that is
12:17
Speaker 1: Western Michigan won 12-7, but if you read the sign
12:21
Speaker 1: on the cash register, well, what's that say? I can't read. Well,
12:24
Speaker 1: the sign on the cash register says, all sales are final.
12:30
Speaker 1: What the NCAA is doing here is the equivalent of
12:33
Speaker 1: catching the bank robber on 4K, finding the money that
12:39
Speaker 1: they stole from the bank in the trunk, and getting
12:43
Speaker 1: a signed confession from the bank robber saying, hey, I
12:48
Speaker 1: did it, and here's how I did it, and here's
12:51
Speaker 1: where the money is. And then the federal judge says, well,
12:54
Speaker 1: I know you robbed the bank and you confessed to
12:57
Speaker 1: it and we have it on 4K and we have
13:00
Speaker 1: all the evidence. You're guilty. But since you already spent
13:05
Speaker 1: some of the money, we're just going to forget about
13:07
Speaker 1: it and let you enjoy it. We're just going to
13:09
Speaker 1: let you enjoy it. And we live in the era.
13:12
Speaker 1: of ball-less leadership in sports. We do. We do. Major
13:17
Speaker 1: League Baseball had a team cheat in the World Series
13:19
Speaker 1: in 2017. We didn't know about it until 2019. They cheated.
13:23
Speaker 1: In the MLB-produced World Series video for the A-holes from Houston,
13:28
Speaker 1: you could see the table they were using to cheat.
13:30
Speaker 1: Baseball knew they cheated because one of the players on
13:33
Speaker 1: the team said they cheated. And Rob Manfrott, the toothless
13:37
Speaker 1: commissioner of Major League Baseball, he didn't have the balls.
13:40
Speaker 1: He didn't have the balls to take away that Fugazi
13:44
Speaker 1: World Series and properly suspend Altuve and Bregman and all
13:49
Speaker 1: those other schmucks. And here we are again. The NCAA
13:53
Speaker 1: said things have changed. No, they haven't. The people running
13:56
Speaker 1: the NCAA said, listen, you robbed the bank. We know
13:59
Speaker 1: you robbed the bank. You got the cash. We found
14:01
Speaker 1: the cash in the trunk of your car. You signed
14:04
Speaker 1: a confession. We have your fingerprints everywhere, your DNA everywhere.
14:08
Speaker 1: But you already spent some of the money, so we're good.
14:09
Speaker 1: Just enjoy yourself. That's it. The NCAA has turned instant
14:15
Speaker 1: replay into the purge. Apparently the rules matter right up
14:18
Speaker 1: until someone successfully breaks them. So Michigan gets a win
14:23
Speaker 1: they didn't earn. They lost in regulation. Western Michigan gets
14:27
Speaker 1: an apology-shaped participation trophy. That's great for them. And the
14:32
Speaker 1: NCAA essentially hangs a mission accomplished oversight banner, and they
14:39
Speaker 1: can hang that right over the big house. Right over
14:42
Speaker 1: the big house. All right, last thing. To the Wells
14:46
Speaker 1: Fargo Bank or Bank of America, whatever your favorite bank is,
14:50
Speaker 1: six major college football programs, it has been revealed, are
14:55
Speaker 1: spending either over or close to $ 50 million on their payroll.
15:03
Speaker 3: $ 50 million on their player payroll. Woo!
15:10
Speaker 1: Yes, the big spenders. are the Ohio State University, dot
15:15
Speaker 1: the I, the Oregon Ducks, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack.
15:19
Speaker 1: How embarrassing is that? How embarrassing is that? All that
15:22
Speaker 1: money they lost to the Okies. Yikes. Texas, hook them horns. LSU,
15:29
Speaker 1: Baton Rouge. Texas A & M and Miami, Miami, Miami, Miami.
15:35
Speaker 1: Those are the teams. Those are the six big spenders. Now,
15:39
Speaker 1: this comes from the old gray lady, the Athletic, They
15:43
Speaker 1: claim to have contacted 70, 70 college football sources. And
15:47
Speaker 1: these are all estimates. They have estimates on all 68
15:50
Speaker 1: major college football programs. Now, it is interesting to know
15:56
Speaker 1: that exact dollars are impossible to verify because college football
16:01
Speaker 1: player compensation figures, unlike all the professional, other professionals, where
16:06
Speaker 1: the college is professional, unlike the other professional leagues, they're
16:10
Speaker 1: not publicly disclosed. They're not. They're just not. So the question,
16:14
Speaker 1: you've got half a dozen power programs, half a dozen
16:19
Speaker 1: power programs who are pushing 50 million in payrolls. At
16:24
Speaker 1: what point did college football become the NFL light without
16:30
Speaker 1: a salary cap? So it actually happened a couple of
16:33
Speaker 1: years back right under your nose. Right about the time
16:37
Speaker 1: Nick Saban quit and Coach K quit because they couldn't
16:40
Speaker 1: handle the New World Order. Yeah, right then. It's the NFL.
16:46
Speaker 1: College football is the NFL with worse bookkeeping and a
16:50
Speaker 1: chemistry class that nobody actually attends. And some, and I
16:55
Speaker 1: love these sweet spirits, some of you idiots call these
17:00
Speaker 1: student athletes, which is just hilarious, stupid. Just hilarious. You
17:05
Speaker 1: know who the student-athletes are? The people on the rowing team.
17:07
Speaker 1: They're the student-athletes. The softball team. They're the student-athletes. The
17:12
Speaker 1: football and basketball team. Men's football and basketball. Forget about it.
17:15
Speaker 1: It's hilarious. They call them student athletes. They're students the
17:20
Speaker 1: same way the guy that wears the Burger King crown
17:23
Speaker 1: is royalty. This just in to Fox Sports Radio, not
17:27
Speaker 1: actual royalty. And if that's the case, if they are royalty,
17:30
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, I used to have one
17:31
Speaker 1: of those paper Burger King royalty, you know, one of
17:34
Speaker 1: those paper crowns. So I guess I'm royalty. So you
17:38
Speaker 1: have six programs pushing $ 50 million payrolls, and they're trying
17:44
Speaker 1: to jam some kind of legislation through Congress which will
17:47
Speaker 1: limit this. They're claiming it's not as bad as you see,
17:51
Speaker 1: but I promise you the people that are bankrolling that
17:54
Speaker 1: are the people from the universities. They're not doing that
17:57
Speaker 1: out of the kindness of their heart. They're doing that
17:59
Speaker 1: to try to put the toothpaste back in the tube.
18:03
Speaker 1: That's what they're trying to do. So you've got six programs.
18:06
Speaker 1: teams about $ 50 million or higher. You've got boosters out
18:10
Speaker 1: there who are paying Jerry Jones, or they're paying players
18:15
Speaker 1: like they're Jerry Jones. They're playing Jerry Jones, doing some
18:19
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones cosplay. You've got coaches running around with blank checks,
18:23
Speaker 1: like just a bunch of drunken sailors at last call.
18:27
Speaker 1: And then one of these $ 50 million rosters loses to
18:32
Speaker 1: a team that spends half as much And we get
18:35
Speaker 1: the usual garbage. Well, we've just got to execute better
18:38
Speaker 1: and all that. And the other team is there as well.
18:40
Speaker 1: But the other team gets paid, but just not as much. Now,
18:43
Speaker 1: we just had an example of this where Oregon, which
18:46
Speaker 1: is believed to spend about $ 50 million against Oklahoma State,
18:49
Speaker 1: which I think their payroll is only $ 20 million.
18:51
Speaker 3: Yeah.
18:53
Speaker 1: You imagine if you're an Oregon booster and you hear
18:56
Speaker 1: the coach say, well, we just got to execute better.
18:58
Speaker 3: Execute?
19:00
Speaker 1: You have enough money to buy the freaking Avengers game.
19:04
Speaker 1: And you ended up losing to the Paw Patrol. Like,
19:08
Speaker 1: what is that? If you need $ 50 million to go
19:12
Speaker 1: nine and three, congratulations. You did not build a program.
19:16
Speaker 1: You held a bonfire and you lit the booster's money
19:20
Speaker 1: on fire. Burn, baby, burn. And you called it part
19:22
Speaker 1: of the culture. It's all part of the culture. Anyway,
19:26
Speaker 1: it is the Ben Maller Show. You play that numbers racket.
19:30
Speaker 1: You can go on and on and on playing that
19:32
Speaker 1: numbers racket. 877-99 on Fox if you'd like to be part.
19:37
Speaker 1: Also on X, at Ben Maller. That's at Ben Maller.
19:42
Speaker 1: You can join the fun. Later this hour, we have
19:45
Speaker 1: Ask Ben. So if you want to send your questions in,
19:47
Speaker 1: hashtag Ask Ben. Hashtag AskBen. Ask Ben. That'll be coming

Speaker 1: up here in a little bit. So you can do
19:55
Speaker 1: that right now and also call in at 877-99 on Fox.
20:00
Speaker 1: Time now, though, for the Maller Riddle of the Day.
20:03
Speaker 1: And here's the Maller Riddle of the Day. Former MVP,
20:06

Speaker 1: the correct answer. Fat Daddy says Josh Allen lost his
24:53
Speaker 1: concentration because the FSR Tech Queen showed up. All right.
24:59
Speaker 1: Let's see here. Lorraine, do you have an answer? Bill's
25:00
Speaker 1: quarterback Josh Allen lost his train of thought this week
25:03
Speaker 1: during a press conference because Blank paid a visit, and
25:07
Speaker 1: he struggled to continue his answer.
25:10
Speaker 6: I think Khaleesi, mother of dragons, rode in on a dragon.
25:15
Speaker 1: Okay. Is that correct? Let's find out. Here we go.
25:19
Speaker 4: Wrong.
25:20
Speaker 1: You were so close. You were right there. You almost
25:23
Speaker 1: had it. Almost had it. And unfortunately, no. It turns
25:28
Speaker 1: out that Bill's quarterback, Josh Allen, lost his train of
25:32
Speaker 1: thought during a news conference because a spider, a spider
25:38
Speaker 1: paid a visit. Kind of reminds me of you, Lorena,
25:42
Speaker 1: a little bit, right? Come on. Did you ever find
25:45
Speaker 1: the flying cockroach in your car?
25:47
Speaker 6: No, and all my traps are still empty, so I'm
25:50
Speaker 6: just hopeful it's gone.
25:51
Speaker 1: Probably flew out of the car. Or it's crawling on
25:54
Speaker 1: your seat right now. It's possible that that's going on
25:58
Speaker 1: there with the Josh Allen. Big bad Josh Allen. And
26:02
Speaker 1: it was a little bitty spider. Little itty bitty spider. Now,
26:05
Speaker 1: I'm told that if the spiders have bright colors, they'll
26:08
Speaker 1: kill you. The ones that don't have the bright colors
26:12
Speaker 1: are not really deadly or anything like that. It's just
26:14
Speaker 1: the big... Not the big ones, but the ones that
26:16
Speaker 1: have the bright yellow and that kind of stuff. Those
26:19
Speaker 1: are the ones that kill you.
26:20
Speaker 7: All right.
26:21
Speaker 1: Scroll the phones. Scroll the phones. It is a call-in
26:24
Speaker 1: show plausibly at 877-99 on Fox. That's 877-996-6369. And let's
26:33
Speaker 1: say hello to, let's go to Steve in Manhattan. Hello, Steve-O.
26:38
Speaker 4: Welcome.
26:38
Speaker 1: We have Ask Ben coming up later this hour. But first,
26:41
Speaker 1: Steve in Manhattan.
26:45
Speaker 3: Ben, distinguished panel, expanding audience, welcome to eHawk.
26:50
Speaker 8: Listen, guys, I haven't called in a while, but I've
26:53
Speaker 8: still been listening. And this show was fabulous. And, I mean, everybody,
27:00
Speaker 8: they know that the Jets won the Bonehead Bowl Sunday
27:03
Speaker 8: with Saller and Brian the Bonehead and Mike Singletary's mini-me,
27:09
Speaker 8: Aaron Glenn. And the Jets are just the Jets, but
27:13
Speaker 8: the Tennessee Titans, I mean, when you've got Brian Bonet
27:16
Speaker 8: and Sal Adair, I guess they're in the driver's seat
27:19
Speaker 8: for Arch Manning. The Jet fans were hoping they would
27:22
Speaker 8: get Arch Manning, but let's see what happens anyway. Let's
27:25
Speaker 8: see if the Colts could lose out or Cowboys lose
27:28
Speaker 8: out because the Jets have their pick. But the Jets
27:31
Speaker 8: also have the worst pick between Green Bay and Dallas,
27:35
Speaker 8: because Dallas owns Green Bay picks.
27:36
Speaker 3: Let's see if they get lucky, because the Jets, they
27:39
Speaker 3: really never get lucky.
27:40
Speaker 1: Are we focused already, Stephen? Are we focused on the
27:45
Speaker 1: 2027 NFL draft? We have even played more than one
27:48
Speaker 1: week of the regular season, and we're already looking ahead
27:51
Speaker 1: to the draft. Am I correct on that?
27:54
Speaker 3: Come on, a couple of bats and a can of beer?
27:57
Speaker 3: That's nonsense.
27:59
Speaker 7: And.
28:00
Speaker 8: Peter Lanzo always looks like to me, like Mark McGuire
28:04
Speaker 8: when he hits a home run.
28:05
Speaker 3: But I'm guessing a few more.
28:07
Speaker 8: Pounds, and Peter Lonzo's going to look like Book Powell
28:12
Speaker 8: because he's getting up there. And the Mets are just
28:15
Speaker 8: a dumb franchise for letting this guy go. But that's
28:17
Speaker 8: typical Mets baseball, typical Jet baseball to football, whatever you
28:22
Speaker 8: want to call it, with Geno Smitten at the helm there.
28:27
Speaker 8: It's not going to be a good team. And, Doug, listen, guys,
28:30
Speaker 8: this thing– about AM radio in cars.
28:36
Speaker 3: They don't put AM radio away. How are they going
28:38
Speaker 3: to get Steve from Manhattan if they don't put the
28:40
Speaker 3: AM radio in cars? What kind of nonsense is that?
28:43
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying? There are some people who
28:47
Speaker 3: will help build AM radio. I'll give you a quick story.
28:51
Speaker 3: When they banned me from all the stations in New York,
28:54
Speaker 3: I didn't make a big deal out of it. I
28:56
Speaker 3: just went national. I quote local shows.
28:58
Speaker 1: Around the country. Steve, calm down. If I'm not mistaken,
29:03
Speaker 1: the House passed a bill that requires AM radio in cars.
29:09
Speaker 1: So you're fine. You're okay. You don't need to get
29:11
Speaker 1: all worked up. People do change their listening habits, though,
29:15
Speaker 1: and a lot of people have moved on to streaming.
29:18
Speaker 1: I know you're old school, Steve in Manhattan. You don't
29:21
Speaker 1: listen to the iHeart app. You listen on that transistor, portable, retro, AM,
29:25
Speaker 1: FM radio.
29:27
Speaker 7: No, I get you.
29:29
Speaker 1: Analog, whatever.
29:33
Speaker 3: I get you guys on the app, and plus, it
29:35
Speaker 3: passed the House. It's still got to go to the Senate,
29:38
Speaker 3: then the House and the Senate got to– got to
29:40
Speaker 3: put it together and then put it on the president's desk.
29:43
Speaker 3: There's a few more procedures that have got to go.
29:45
Speaker 1: But, folks, don't do what you see. That's bureaucracy. That's
29:48
Speaker 1: how it works in that town. There's 8 million hoops
29:51
Speaker 1: you've got to jump through. That's why nothing ever gets
29:53
Speaker 1: done in this country because of that kind of crap.
29:55
Speaker 1: On that note, Steve, thank you for that. Save AM radio.
29:58
Speaker 1: Why not? Let's keep all radio. I love radio. As
30:01
Speaker 1: long as there's humans on the radio.
30:02
Speaker 2: Save the radio.
30:03
Speaker 1: If there's no humans on radio, get rid of all radio.
30:06
Speaker 1: You've got to have humans. Oh, you're such a shock jock, Maller.
30:11
Speaker 1: You want to hear human beings on radio? Yes, guaranteed human. 2%
30:16
Speaker 1: chance is next. Hello, 2% chance. Welcome. 2% chance. Is
30:23
Speaker 1: there a 1% chance? Oh, there he is. There he is.
30:27
Speaker 1: All right. Calm down. Calm down.
30:30
Speaker 7: You got me? So, Khaleesi, the mother of dragons, is dead,
30:33
Speaker 7: so it would be her ghost as well, just like
30:35
Speaker 7: the ghost of Old Yeller. So, to that answer.
30:39
Speaker 1: Why does everyone got to die?
30:41
Speaker 7: Jon Snow had to take care of business. I don't
30:46
Speaker 7: like what you said. Ben, I usually love what you
30:50
Speaker 7: have to say, man, but you insulted the goat earlier.
30:53
Speaker 7: You said Nick Saban quit because he couldn't handle... You know,
30:59
Speaker 7: the way college football's changed. He quit because he didn't
31:03
Speaker 7: want to deal with it. That man has dealt with
31:06
Speaker 7: change after change after change in college football.
31:09
Speaker 5: That's the same thing.
31:12
Speaker 1: You just agreed with me. You said you're upset. You
31:14
Speaker 1: agree with my take?
31:16
Speaker 7: Didn't I agree?
31:17
Speaker 1: You agree with my take?
31:19
Speaker 7: It didn't mean he couldn't do it. He just didn't.
31:23
Speaker 1: Want to fuss with it. He couldn't do it. If
31:25
Speaker 1: he could do it, he would have still– he'd much
31:27
Speaker 1: rather coach. He's an egomaniac, Nick Saban. That's why he's
31:31
Speaker 1: on TV so everyone kisses his ass every Saturday. He
31:34
Speaker 1: would absolutely still be coaching. He just didn't want it.
31:38
Speaker 1: He didn't want to have to. They were paying players
31:41
Speaker 1: at Alabama for years, most likely, and they just they
31:43
Speaker 1: were doing it under the table. He didn't want to
31:45
Speaker 1: do it over the table and he got upset. And
31:47
Speaker 1: so he's like, I made enough money. I'll go eat
31:49
Speaker 1: my little Debbie cakes and do my own thing.
31:52
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, most people who are the greatest at
31:55
Speaker 7: what they do are egomaniacs. I could list, you know,
31:58
Speaker 7: like Tom Brady, for example, egomaniacs. He is the greatest
32:01
Speaker 7: college football coach of all time. The man is 77.
32:04
Speaker 7: He coached for a total of 50 years. If he
32:07
Speaker 7: wants to retire, let him retire. You know, they said
32:10
Speaker 7: he couldn't adapt whenever they started doing the RPO. The
32:13
Speaker 7: man adapted. He brought in coaches that, you know, could
32:19
Speaker 7: help improve. He adjusted. If he wanted to, he could
32:24
Speaker 7: have stuck it out, and he would have eventually won
32:26
Speaker 7: an Addy. That's why he is the GOAT. No question
32:29
Speaker 7: about it.
32:30
Speaker 1: What are we doing? You're in the Bible, Bill. I
32:34
Speaker 1: think this is illegal. Take the knee pads off. Okay,
32:36
Speaker 1: we got it. You like Nick Saban. I understand.
32:38
Speaker 4: Good. Great.
32:39
Speaker 1: Wonderful. Outstanding. Good to know. Okay.
32:43
Speaker 7: You must hate him, but also there's.
32:45
Speaker 1: No– I don't hate– why do you think I hate him?
32:47
Speaker 1: Just because I said– I just told the truth. I'm
32:49
Speaker 1: paid to comment on this crap. Nick Saban went away
32:53
Speaker 1: because he didn't want to deal with the new world
32:56
Speaker 1: order in college sports, and he didn't want to deal
32:59
Speaker 1: with the over the table and the leveling of the
33:02
Speaker 1: playing field and all that, and that's what happened.
33:06
Speaker 7: Did he actually– do you have some proof of that,
33:07
Speaker 7: or is that just– you know, you said it's a fact.
33:09
Speaker 7: It's an opinion.
33:10
Speaker 1: What, am I going to get sued for my opinion?
33:12
Speaker 1: You can't sue me for my opinion. I'm entitled to
33:15
Speaker 1: my opinion. Do you understand?
33:16
Speaker 7: You're saying it's a fact.
33:18
Speaker 1: All right, I got to go. You're annoying me. Real quick,
33:21
Speaker 1: Marla has something very important to add. She's in SoCal
33:24
Speaker 1: here in NoHo. That's a beautiful North Hollywood. Marla, what's
33:28
Speaker 1: going on, Marla? Yes, Marla.
33:30
Speaker 3: I mean, Ben, because I haven't spoken in about 15 years,
33:34
Speaker 3: this was important. I saw that spider on the interview,
33:40
Speaker 3: and it's a lot more.
33:41
Speaker 8: Dangerous than you think.
33:43
Speaker 4: No wonder Josh Allen was frightened.
33:46
Speaker 3: Identify that spider. That is what you can know as
33:48
Speaker 3: a violent spider. Very dangerous. She could have been killed.
33:53
Speaker 8: I mean, that's a good thing because I don't think
33:58
Speaker 8: they've got spider serum to counteract it like NorthCon.
34:04
Speaker 1: Are you saying that Josh Allen is like a hero,
34:07
Speaker 1: that he realized the danger?
34:09
Speaker 4: He's lucky to be alive and even starting quarterback for
34:12
Speaker 4: the next game.
34:13
Speaker 3: That's a great take.
34:16
Speaker 1: You know what? I'm going to give you a golden ticket.
34:19
Speaker 1: You got to use it, though, before 15 years.
34:24
Speaker 2: I would have reacted the exact same way, if we're
34:26
Speaker 2: being honest.
34:28
Speaker 1: Yeah.
34:29
Speaker 2: I might have gotten up before he got up.
34:32
Speaker 1: Yeah. You wouldn't have taken your shoe off and just
34:35
Speaker 1: slapped it?
34:36
Speaker 2: I'm not about spiders.
34:37
Speaker 1: Nah.
34:38
Speaker 2: Okay.
34:39
Speaker 1: I got you. It is the Ben Maller Show. We'll

Speaker 1: have more hot spider talk. Spider-Man. Spider-Man. Right now, though,

35:57
Speaker 1: Ben and friends as we go hog wild here on
36:01
Speaker 1: the show. And over for the reading of the questions
36:06
Speaker 1: to the Koopaloop.
36:07
Speaker 2: All right, we're going to start off with a question
36:10
Speaker 2: from JTTheWingMan.com.
36:12
Speaker 1: Oh, I met him.
36:14
Speaker 2: Yes, me as well. Now, he wants to know, and
36:18
Speaker 2: there's an image that accompanies this, but I'm going to
36:20
Speaker 2: try to explain it as best I can. Stick with me.
36:22
Speaker 2: There's lots of choices. What is your favorite type of pretzel? Now,
36:26
Speaker 2: soft pretzel isn't on here. We've got the mini twist,
36:29
Speaker 2: just regular mini crunchy pretzels, sticks, sourdough nibblers, peanut butter filled,
36:36
Speaker 2: butter snaps, those are the ones that kind of look
36:37
Speaker 2: like a checkered board, honey wheat twist, honey mustard pieces,
36:41
Speaker 2: and balls.
36:43
Speaker 1: All right, so JT, first of all, you're not including
36:47
Speaker 1: the soft pretzel, the street pretzel that you get in
36:49
Speaker 1: New York or Philadelphia.
36:50
Speaker 2: Because that would obviously win. I feel that's why it's
36:52
Speaker 2: not on.
36:52
Speaker 1: Exactly. Okay, all right. So I have in the past
36:55
Speaker 1: at times enjoyed a handful, or I've gotten at Costco
36:59
Speaker 1: those big peanut butter-filled peanuts, and I enjoy them. That's

37:07
Speaker 6: and black bag, and they have the really, they're super buttery.
37:11
Speaker 2: The butter snaps?
37:12
Speaker 6: No, but they're twisted and they're seasoned really nicely. They're
37:14
Speaker 6: not even on that list. Maybe down there.
37:16
Speaker 2: The twists.
37:16
Speaker 1: Yeah.
37:17
Speaker 2: What are those called? It says honey wheat twists, but
37:20
Speaker 2: it can be different flavors. I know what you're saying.
37:22
Speaker 2: So you like the twists.
37:22
Speaker 1: I like the twists. What about you?
37:24
Speaker 2: The only correct answer is the peanut butter filled. That's
37:27
Speaker 2: the only one.
37:28
Speaker 1: That's the only way I've eaten of those regularly. So
37:31
Speaker 1: that's really the one I would go with. Next. What's
37:33
Speaker 1: next here? It's Ask Ben. Your questions, our answers. Hashtag
37:37
Speaker 1: Ask Ben. You can seal the deal.
37:39
Speaker 2: Here we go. Gunner wants to know.
37:42
Speaker 1: Oh, Gunner, how's Carolina doing, pal? That was very impressive defensively, Gunner.
37:46
Speaker 1: What is your favorite horror movie? Well, when I was
37:50
Speaker 1: a kid, it was always like Friday the 13th. That
37:53
Speaker 1: was very popular. I'm old, so that was popular.
37:56
Speaker 5: I don't know.
37:56
Speaker 1: I'm really not a big horror guy, so I generally
38:00
Speaker 1: don't go out of my way to watch them. What
38:02
Speaker 1: about you, Lorena? We actually just watched it the other day, Insidious.
38:06
Speaker 2: I love that horror movie. I think it's great.
38:09
Speaker 1: It's your jam? All right. Very good. Coop, what's any eye-popping, exhilarating, electrifying...
38:16
Speaker 1: Horror movies? I don't know.
38:17
Speaker 2: I don't know if everybody considers this a horror movie,
38:20
Speaker 2: but Silence of the Lambs is my favorite.
38:23
Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
38:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess it would be.
38:26
Speaker 2: If you want to go with one of the classics,
38:28
Speaker 2: then I got to go Halloween.
38:31
Speaker 1: Halloween. Oh, that's not bad. Not bad. All right, what's next?
38:34
Speaker 1: It's Ask Ben. I'm surprised Gunner hasn't called to defend
38:37
Speaker 1: his team. Bad job by you. He's eating a tuna
38:40
Speaker 1: fish sandwich right now in the break room at Walmart.
38:42
Speaker 1: What's next? What do we got?
38:43
Speaker 2: The King Rory would like to know, have you ever
38:45
Speaker 2: had to pass a kidney stone?
38:49
Speaker 1: No, I have not. I have had hemorrhoids. I've had,
38:54
Speaker 1: what else have I had? The gallbladder. That was the worst.
38:57
Speaker 1: The gallbladder is the worst. What about you, Lorena?
38:59
Speaker 6: No, but I had an anatomy professor who brought in
39:02
Speaker 6: his to show us what it looked like.
39:04
Speaker 1: Those things are scary. Yeah.
39:07
Speaker 7: Yeah, I did not have that.
39:08
Speaker 1: I've had friends that have had it, though, and it's
39:10
Speaker 1: not an idea. What about you, Coop? I have not.
39:13
Speaker 1: Thank God.
39:13
Speaker 2: That sounds horrible. It did get to the point where
39:16
Speaker 2: I was drinking way too much soda, and it was
39:18
Speaker 2: like you're in danger of forming kidney stones. Yeah. And
39:23
Speaker 2: I changed my diet and said we're okay now, I think.
39:26
Speaker 1: You're smart.
39:26
Speaker 4: I hope.
39:27
Speaker 1: You're out of the danger zone. You've taken care of it.
39:29
Speaker 1: You've done these. copious amounts of treatment there. Just drink
39:32
Speaker 1: a lot of water. Exactly.
39:33
Speaker 2: Exactly. That's the key.
39:35
Speaker 1: I mostly drink water. What's next? It's Ask Ben. Your questions,
39:39
Speaker 1: our answers, whether you're in the big city or out
39:40
Speaker 1: in the boondocks. It doesn't matter.

Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I'm going to go back-to-back, belly-to-belly with King
39:44
Speaker 2: Rory questions because I want to ask this one.
39:45
Speaker 1: You're just upsetting people. I know.
39:48
Speaker 2: Do you prefer puffy or crunchy Cheetos?
39:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm a crunchy guy.
39:55
Speaker 4: I am.
39:56
Speaker 1: Occasionally I'll go puff. I'll go puff. And I'm always
40:00
Speaker 1: going back to crunchy. What about you, Lorena?
40:02
Speaker 6: Yeah, more of a crunchy girl. The cheesy poofs, they
40:04
Speaker 6: smell weird sometimes.
40:06
Speaker 1: I just saw a video on how they make those.
40:09
Speaker 1: It's pretty wild. It's like the amount of corn they
40:11
Speaker 1: use to make the Cheetos. What about you, Coop?
40:13
Speaker 2: I like the cheesy puffs. I like them. I don't know.
40:17
Speaker 1: So you like the puffy ones, not the crunchy ones?
40:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like those ones better.
40:21
Speaker 1: Well, no one's perfect. What's next here? It's Ask Ben.

40:34
Speaker 2: broken a bone?
40:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, but not like a leg or an arm,
40:41
Speaker 1: like fingers and toes and things like that. What about you, Lorraine?
40:43
Speaker 4: No, I am safe.
40:44
Speaker 2: Never have I ever.
40:46
Speaker 1: You just jinxed yourself. Koopaloop.
40:47
Speaker 2: Nope, never.
40:50
Speaker 1: You've got to go out. Even a finger? Come on.
40:53
Speaker 1: Get out there. Touch some grass. Come on now.
