Speaker 1: It is a cold brew for you in our number two,
0:06
Speaker 1: our number two. As the punishment has come down from
0:09
Speaker 1: the NFL, what is your read on the NFL's decision
0:12
Speaker 1: to call Eagles spitter Jalen Carter's punishment a case of
0:17
Speaker 1: time served. Also, how big a blow is the loss
0:21
Speaker 1: of George Kittle for the forty nine ers. We'll talk
0:24
Speaker 1: about that. And where are you at on the forty
0:26
Speaker 1: nine ers dumping kicker Jake Moody after coach Kyle Shanahan
0:30
Speaker 1: had said his job was safe after he shanked a
0:34
Speaker 1: field goal there against the Seattle Seahawks. We'll talk about
0:37
Speaker 1: all that and more right now here. It is our
0:40
Speaker 1: number two. We're doing it saliva style. That's right, saliva style.
0:46
Speaker 1: Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
0:50
Speaker 1: Mathers Show. We are in the air everywhere as we
0:55
Speaker 1: are crawling and yapping and definitely not napping the coast,
1:00
Speaker 1: border to border and beyond on the vast and blisteringly
1:05
Speaker 1: powerful microphones of FSR am monating live from the path
1:11
Speaker 1: as we are on the warpath from the world famous
1:15
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio Studios, as approved by mister Irrigation, who's
1:19
Speaker 1: a big fan of the Minnesota Viking cheerleaders. Unless mister
1:23
Speaker 1: Irrigation is not not that at all, And this portion
1:28
Speaker 1: of the Ben Mallor Show made possible in part my
1:31
Speaker 1: our friends at tire Rack. That's right. For over forty years,
1:34
Speaker 1: I see Alf Nodding has said yes. For over forty years,
1:38
Speaker 1: ty Iraq has been helping customers find the right tires

1:48
Speaker 1: like Mulbile tire Installation. Tire iraq dot Com the way
1:52
Speaker 1: tire Buying show be. So we're back at it this hour.
1:57
Speaker 1: Coming up later in the hour we will have the
1:59
Speaker 1: instant tribute also Mallor to the third degree. We'll get
2:03
Speaker 1: to that coming up here in a little bit. But
2:05
Speaker 1: our lead this hour is from the aforementioned Saliva. That's right,
2:12
Speaker 1: We are going to talk about Saliva doesn't get talked
2:16
Speaker 1: about enough on sports radio. So our lead is from Philadelphia.
2:19
Speaker 1: That is where Eagles defensive star. I don't know if
2:23
Speaker 1: he's a star, but I've heard of him, so Jalen Carter,
2:27
Speaker 1: it turns out, is he going to be suspended for
2:30
Speaker 1: this weekend's game? For the Philadelphia Eagles. No, in fact,
2:36
Speaker 1: he will not miss any future games for spitting a
2:42
Speaker 1: loogie on Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. The NFL announcing
2:48
Speaker 1: that they decided, after a negotiation with the agent for
2:53
Speaker 1: Jalen Carter that since this is their logic, they said,
2:56
Speaker 1: since Carter was ejected from last week's the season opening game,
3:01
Speaker 1: remember last Thursday, it was a big kind of a
3:03
Speaker 1: big deal. He did not participate technically in a single play.
3:09
Speaker 1: So the league said they were going to consider that
3:12
Speaker 1: particular game the one game suspension being served that he
3:18
Speaker 1: already time served. So this is an important distinction, because
3:22
Speaker 1: the NFL wants you to know that they have established
3:27
Speaker 1: president for all future players that decide they want their
3:32
Speaker 1: flem to go on another human being, you will be suspended.
3:36
Speaker 1: You will be suspended, and it will result in a
3:39
Speaker 1: one game suspension. So let us discuss the question, what's
3:44
Speaker 1: your read on the NFL's decision to say time served
3:51
Speaker 1: time served for Jalen Carter? The Eagle spinner, So on
3:57
Speaker 1: this one, I've got freak show, Arctic monkeys, and aquafina,
4:03
Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
4:06
Speaker 1: we're going to make authentic Canadian poutine. Now I got
4:11
Speaker 1: to enjoy that thanks to our guy Nico and Vancouver
4:14
Speaker 1: who rolled out the red carpet that great Vancouver meet
4:17
Speaker 1: and greet that we did there, and what a spread,
4:20
Speaker 1: I say, the greatest spread that we've had because it
4:23
Speaker 1: was all free Caive Nico rolled out the red carpet.
4:26
Speaker 1: Everyone showed up to that Vancouver meet and greet. It
4:29
Speaker 1: was all paid for. It was awesome and a big
4:32
Speaker 1: thing of poutine and all my foods it was. It
4:34
Speaker 1: was wonderful, all right. So number one, this is not
4:40
Speaker 1: a suspension. Can we all agree on this? Anyone disagree?
4:43
Speaker 1: No one disagrees. This is not a suspension. This is
4:46
Speaker 1: a work around, Capitol w work around is what this is.
4:50
Speaker 1: That's what the NFL is doing here. That's don't spit
4:54
Speaker 1: on my cupcake and tell me it's it's all frosting. Okay,
4:59
Speaker 1: that's what this is. And it's a technicality because he
5:04
Speaker 1: was in uniform. He did run out to start the
5:08
Speaker 1: game with his teammates there, he was on the field
5:11
Speaker 1: when the game kicked off, on the sidelines. He got ejected,
5:15
Speaker 1: and now the NFL thinks you're a moron. And they
5:18
Speaker 1: want you to believe that that counts as a suspension.
5:23
Speaker 1: They want you to believe that they counts as a suspension. Now,
5:25
Speaker 1: my position was he shouldn't get suspended. However, now I'm
5:29
Speaker 1: upset with the NFL because the NFL is like, well,
5:32
Speaker 1: though that was a suspension, No it was not. It's
5:36
Speaker 1: like wink, nod, nod. It's like, come on, what are
5:40
Speaker 1: you doing? Seriously? I mean, I understand, I do. What
5:43
Speaker 1: do I know? You think I'm just a country bumpkin
5:46
Speaker 1: over here? What's wrong with you? Anyway? And it's one
5:51
Speaker 1: of these things. Whatever it takes, whatever it takes, right,
5:55
Speaker 1: because if you look at the schedule this weekend, and
5:58
Speaker 1: if you remember the promos one of the NFL, do
6:01
Speaker 1: you know who the Eagles are playing? Yeah, it's a
6:05
Speaker 1: kind of a big deal they are playing. That's right,
6:07
Speaker 1: Canza City, the home of the Ben Mallard Chicken figures.
6:12
Speaker 1: That is America's game of the week. You cannot have
6:17
Speaker 1: Jalen Carter. I don't care how fat that lougie was
6:21
Speaker 1: and how much green mucus came out of his mouth,
6:24
Speaker 1: because it was Eagle green. You cannot have that man,
6:28
Speaker 1: miss America's game of the week. The American people need
6:32
Speaker 1: to see Jalen Carter's fat ass on the field. That's
6:36
Speaker 1: what they need. Tom Brady's calling the game. It's kind
6:40
Speaker 1: of a big deal. You need to have him on.
6:43
Speaker 1: That is the most protected TV window you could possibly have. Now,
6:47
Speaker 1: my favorite part of this is the NFL slap Jalen
6:50
Speaker 1: Carter with a fifty seven thousand dollars fine. They based
6:54
Speaker 1: it on his per game salary. You talk about some
6:58
Speaker 1: expensive phlegm. Like, I'm telling you how if I were
7:02
Speaker 1: to get fine for spitting, and I mostly just spit,
7:05
Speaker 1: I have a MIC condom, so I practice safe spitting.
7:08
Speaker 1: I have a mic. I have a mic condom, so
7:10
Speaker 1: I do practice safe spitting him that huck Yeah, dude night.
7:16
Speaker 1: So if his is worth fifty seven thousand, like, how
7:19
Speaker 1: much is some of mine worth?
7:21
Speaker 2: There?
7:21
Speaker 1: Right? You know malor lugi. Now, my lugies are not
7:25
Speaker 1: heard around the world like his are. But you talk
7:27
Speaker 1: about inflation, mug that is the world's priceiest spit fifty
7:32
Speaker 1: seven thousand. Now, at least back in the day, if
7:34
Speaker 1: you're old, there's a guy named Berto Alomar. In my
7:38
Speaker 1: I heard stories because I wasn't doing sports radio and
7:40
Speaker 1: he spit at an umpire. God no, but I've been
7:43
Speaker 1: told wink wink, nod nod that when Alamar decided that
7:47
Speaker 1: he wanted to give the umpire a nice juicy piece
7:50
Speaker 1: of phlegm years ago, everybody knew he got suspended, right,
7:54
Speaker 1: that was a suspension for a number of games. But
7:56
Speaker 1: this is the NFL pretending to be tough football. We
8:00
Speaker 1: are tough, but we're also gonna make sure that the
8:03
Speaker 1: key players play in the most important games because we
8:06
Speaker 1: are a TV show and we need the stars of
8:10
Speaker 1: the TV show to be in the TV show. It's
8:13
Speaker 1: a marquee matchup and you're gonna play. So it's it's
8:18
Speaker 1: like a substitute teacher writing you up for detention. And
8:21
Speaker 1: then the principal says, you know what, just count that
8:24
Speaker 1: recess as time serve punishment. That's it recess. Yeah, and Carter,
8:31
Speaker 1: he gets to play on the big stage. Massive game
8:34
Speaker 1: would be the highest rated game of the NFL weekend.
8:36
Speaker 1: The Eagles and the Chiefs, a rematch of that little
8:39
Speaker 1: game they played at the end of last season. And
8:41
Speaker 1: so Dak Prescott he got also a game used souvenir. Congratulations,
8:47
Speaker 1: you got some of Jalen Carter's DNA on your uniform.
8:51
Speaker 1: But it's all spin, right, It's all spin, And of
8:53
Speaker 1: course it is. It's a big corporation. It's like, we
8:56
Speaker 1: are tough on spitting. We are tough on spitting until
9:02
Speaker 1: it interferes with a matchup against Patrick Maholmes and then
9:06
Speaker 1: him playing Jalen hurts. Then suddenly he's eh, it's okay,
9:10
Speaker 1: it's all but oh no, this is we have not
9:12
Speaker 1: changed the president. We have not changed the president at all.
9:15
Speaker 1: So the messaging is rather clear. If you're in the
9:18
Speaker 1: NFL and you have a predisposition for spitting, if you
9:24
Speaker 1: are going to spit, make sure that you do it
9:27
Speaker 1: before a primetime game because then you will not get
9:30
Speaker 1: And this is not primetime. It's a late TV window,
9:32
Speaker 1: but it's not like a night game. It's the late
9:34
Speaker 1: game on Fox on Sunday. Now, if you spit on
9:37
Speaker 1: someone and then the next game you play is against
9:40
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans and the New Orleans Saints, you will
9:43
Speaker 1: have to miss that game. You will have to miss
9:45
Speaker 1: that game. But America's game of the week. We gotta
9:48
Speaker 1: have yacht there. The American people, the men, women and
9:51
Speaker 1: children need Jalen Carter out there for the Philadelphiagos. That's
9:54
Speaker 1: the message from the NFL. Now we head across the
9:56
Speaker 1: United States to Santa Clair, to the Bay Area where
9:59
Speaker 1: it did. You can take long snap, crackle pop goes
10:03
Speaker 1: to tight end. Just like that, the forty nine ers
10:06
Speaker 1: given the whammy as George Kittle's hammy went whammy and
10:12
Speaker 1: the San Francisco football team putting a star tight end
10:16
Speaker 1: George Kittle on injured reserve with a hammy that did
10:20
Speaker 1: decide to go ammy, and so Kittle will be forced
10:23
Speaker 1: to miss at least four games, four games. He will
10:26
Speaker 1: be eligible return in week six of the season. If
10:29
Speaker 1: you have your phone out, that's October twelfth, you can
10:33
Speaker 1: come back at Tampa Bay against the Baker and the
10:38
Speaker 1: touchdown maker. So how big a blow? How big a
10:43
Speaker 1: blow is the loss of George Kittle for the forty
10:46
Speaker 1: niners over the next month, We're gonna call it. So
10:50
Speaker 1: this is obviously not a bruise. This is not that,
10:53
Speaker 1: it's not a hangnail. It's not that this is old school,
10:58
Speaker 1: back in the day, old school backing Rocky Marciano, the
11:02
Speaker 1: susie Q punch I never saw, but I heard about it. Well,
11:05
Speaker 1: they called his his knockout punch was the susie Q.
11:08
Speaker 1: He called it there and right to the jaw, right
11:11
Speaker 1: to the jaw for the forty nine ers. So Kittle's
11:13
Speaker 1: thirty one, although he plays a lot older than that.
11:16
Speaker 1: Can we all agree on that plays a lot older
11:18
Speaker 1: than that, And he's certainly an old thirty one. And
11:21
Speaker 1: his home away from home not really the end zone anymore,
11:25
Speaker 1: and he's moved on from that. He's graduated from the
11:27
Speaker 1: end zone. It's now that pop up blue injury tent
11:30
Speaker 1: that is his home away from home. So you see
11:32
Speaker 1: him go down, Kittle goes down. It's a contact sport,
11:36
Speaker 1: and you don't even check the replay. You don't need
11:38
Speaker 1: to check the replay when George Kittle goes down. You
11:40
Speaker 1: just start googling who the backup tight end is because
11:42
Speaker 1: that guy's going to get in the game. That's all
11:44
Speaker 1: you need right there. And the Niners are already now
11:48
Speaker 1: I know they beat Seattle, but it's more of a
11:50
Speaker 1: product of Sam Darnold sucking being the old Sam Donald.
11:53
Speaker 1: So the Niners are already oozing goo already to start
11:58
Speaker 1: the year in terms of injuries, and they tried to
12:01
Speaker 1: change the roster. They kept a lot of the veteran
12:04
Speaker 1: guys though, and they mixed filled in the roster with
12:06
Speaker 1: some younger players and the older guys already showing up
12:09
Speaker 1: in the infirmary, and so they already lost a couple
12:12
Speaker 1: of guys. Now, Kittle not exactly a side dish, despite
12:15
Speaker 1: his regular appearances on the injury list. Not side dish.
12:21
Speaker 1: He's the steak, he's the stake of that offense. And
12:25
Speaker 1: he was the thirty first ranked player on that Dopey
12:28
Speaker 1: Top one hundred player. I know Terry and England loves
12:30
Speaker 1: that list. He's a big fan of the list. So
12:33
Speaker 1: you know, while next man up, let's just go next
12:36
Speaker 1: man up and all that stuff. It's like saying you're
12:38
Speaker 1: going to replace the Arctic Monkeys with a cover band
12:43
Speaker 1: from the local dive bar. Now, maybe that'll work. I
12:46
Speaker 1: don't know. It seemed to have a lot of downloads
12:47
Speaker 1: over there on the interweb and all that stuff, so
12:50
Speaker 1: they seem to be doing something right. But this is
12:52
Speaker 1: not an isolated incident with George Kittle. He has a
12:55
Speaker 1: very rich resume of injury, very rich resume of injury.
13:00
Speaker 1: In fact, I believe if my math is right. I
13:01
Speaker 1: used mather math. The last last five years, he's missed
13:05
Speaker 1: sixteen games, so essentially he's missed almost an entire season
13:10
Speaker 1: of his last five years in the NFL because of injury.
13:13
Speaker 1: So you cannot call George Kittle durable. Cannot use that
13:16
Speaker 1: as a word to describe George Kittle. You call him
13:20
Speaker 1: rent controlled is what you call him rent control because
13:23
Speaker 1: he finds finds a way to take time off, and
13:27
Speaker 1: that's kind of the way he goes. But losing Kittle
13:30
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you look at the Niners
13:32
Speaker 1: here objectively, not to go Olhardo's Sports Radio on you,
13:35
Speaker 1: but if you look at the forty nine ers and
13:37
Speaker 1: starting to handicap this game as we go forward with
13:39
Speaker 1: Benny versus the Penny, which is on YouTube now, so
13:41
Speaker 1: you handicap the game and you're like, all right, well,
13:44
Speaker 1: you look at how the forty nine ers operate, and
13:46
Speaker 1: he is your third down security blanket for brock Purty.
13:51
Speaker 1: And what is the scouting report on brock Purty. He
13:55
Speaker 1: does not make players around him better that brock Purty
13:58
Speaker 1: needs the star player to elevate him, not vice versas.
14:02
Speaker 1: So now you're taking away his safety blanket oll, who
14:05
Speaker 1: knows if he's gonna play. He's got a bad toe
14:07
Speaker 1: and a shoulder thing, so he might not even play
14:10
Speaker 1: against the Saints. Now, the good news is you are
14:12
Speaker 1: playing the Saints, so that is good. And the play
14:15
Speaker 1: action part of the forty nine ers offense with Kittle
14:17
Speaker 1: as an option that does not have the same bite
14:20
Speaker 1: to it, the same teeth to it, so you don't
14:23
Speaker 1: have that, and the forty nine's offense just has less
14:26
Speaker 1: of an edge. There's less of a nastiness to it
14:29
Speaker 1: all right. Now, staying with that final point though, final
14:31
Speaker 1: point to the transaction wire, where the Niners made a
14:35
Speaker 1: roster move. They have fired their kicker, Jake Moody. I
14:41
Speaker 1: guess he's in a bad moody. Jake Moody gone. He
14:44
Speaker 1: missed sixteen field goals in three years. We hear that's
14:48
Speaker 1: not good. Those daytime people say that's not good. If
14:51
Speaker 1: you miss sixteen field goals in three years, you're probably
14:53
Speaker 1: doing something wrong. Mister chipshot field goal. A couple of
14:57
Speaker 1: should have made field goals against the Apple. And so
15:00
Speaker 1: the Niners fired Jake Moody and he went out stage left.
15:07
Speaker 1: And then the other guy came in stage right. That
15:10
Speaker 1: would be Eddie Panero on your scorecard, former Carolina kicker,
15:15
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears kicker. So question, where are you at on
15:20
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers dumping Jake Moody after Keep in
15:24
Speaker 1: mind the other part of the story here, don't bear
15:26
Speaker 1: to lead my man, is that Kyle Shanahan, the coach,
15:30
Speaker 1: said after the game that Jake Moody's job was safe. Yikes,
15:35
Speaker 1: all right, so that part of it is laughable. Who goofed?
15:40
Speaker 1: I've got to know? And Shanahan goes full Halloween Pinocchio knows,
15:47
Speaker 1: all right, Pinocchio nos mode after the game. And so
15:51
Speaker 1: it's just what coaches do. Shanahan is the guy who
15:53
Speaker 1: will tell you do not worry, nothing to worry about here,
15:57
Speaker 1: that Midtown Bridge is as safe as it could possibly be,
16:00
Speaker 1: right before it falls into the river, right before that,
16:04
Speaker 1: and standard coaching half truce, right, the half truce of coaching,
16:08
Speaker 1: the exaggerations of coaching, and Shannan saying he said no
16:12
Speaker 1: question that Jake Moody would be his kicker going forward,
16:15
Speaker 1: and then basically a day and a half later he's gone.
16:19
Speaker 1: So he should have said no question. Jake Moody he's
16:22
Speaker 1: not a kicker. He stinks that's what he should say.
16:25
Speaker 1: But he's a teachable moment. Don't listen to coaches. Don't
16:27
Speaker 1: believe coaches teachable moment. That's it. That's why we're here
16:30
Speaker 1: in sports radio to break down coaches. We give you
16:34
Speaker 1: truth in broadcasting, unlike the coaches who lie. And it's
16:37
Speaker 1: also a reminder that drafting kickers is dumb, du dumb,
16:41
Speaker 1: dumb dumb. It's a stupid test. It just is. It's
16:46
Speaker 1: like it's like paying full price for a bottle of
16:50
Speaker 1: Aqua Final water while there is a drinking fountain right there,
16:55
Speaker 1: Like why would you do that? You have fun fact
16:57
Speaker 1: about that Dodger Stadium opened up this palace many years
17:01
Speaker 1: ago and they did not have drinking fountains. They forgot
17:04
Speaker 1: to put drinking fountains in Dodger Stadium, so they had
17:07
Speaker 1: to put them in. But these I assume the reason
17:10
Speaker 1: they didn't put drink founds. And they want people to
17:12
Speaker 1: buy water, although back then people didn't buy water as
17:14
Speaker 1: much as they do now. But anyway, the pay it's
17:16
Speaker 1: kind of bring ice to Antarctica or Alaska or something
17:19
Speaker 1: like that. You don't really need to do it. It's
17:20
Speaker 1: absolutely unnecessary drafting kickers. The Niners thought, yet again they
17:24
Speaker 1: were the smartest people in the room. The rest of
17:26
Speaker 1: the league bunch of morons, And now, of course everyone's
17:30
Speaker 1: pointing fingers and laughing. They drafted a kicker in the
17:32
Speaker 1: third round. Haa. It's organizational organizational arrogance, is what it is.
17:40
Speaker 1: And you love when it blows up in your face
17:41
Speaker 1: or their face, not your face, but their face. And
17:43
Speaker 1: so they thought they were gaming the system, and the
17:46
Speaker 1: system gained them. Instead, they drafted a guy who was
17:50
Speaker 1: so confident that he fell apart by year two, and
17:55
Speaker 1: they kept him around for year three, and good luck.
17:58
Speaker 1: The people were throwing helmets on the sidelines. The teammates
18:02
Speaker 1: were not big fans, and so there you go. Kickers.
18:05
Speaker 1: They really like relief pitchers in many ways. Kickers are
18:08
Speaker 1: like relief pitchers in that they're pretty much everywhere, and
18:13
Speaker 1: they're important and yet disposable, like a good relief pitcher.
18:18
Speaker 1: Most games in baseball are designed to be won or
18:22
Speaker 1: lost by relief pitchers, yet they don't make as much
18:25
Speaker 1: money as the starting pitcher. It's one of those bizarro
18:27
Speaker 1: things in baseball, but in kicking in the NFL. It's
18:30
Speaker 1: very similar. A lot of the games will come down
18:33
Speaker 1: to an extra point or a field goal, and yet
18:36
Speaker 1: the kicker is not really a football player. It's like
18:40
Speaker 1: a weird, weird dynamic there. It's like what's a blind spot?
18:45
Speaker 1: Is what it is here? And so you pick a
18:48
Speaker 1: kicker up off the waiver wire. You go get someone
18:51
Speaker 1: from the Toronto CFL franchise, the Argonauts or the Alouettes
18:57
Speaker 1: over from Montreal, and you pick them up when you
19:00
Speaker 1: go to the grocery store to buy some eggs and
19:02
Speaker 1: some milk or butter or whatever. In the so called

Speaker 6: It is.
21:53
Speaker 1: So soonous. You think an elephant thinks about time. No,
22:00
Speaker 1: that's all they want. But Lorendo FSR Tech Queen and
22:04
Speaker 1: Kooble Loop a Bronco fan, Your comments canon will be
22:07
Speaker 1: used against you in the court of sports radio. All right, Well,
22:13
Speaker 1: for those who are listening on the podcast, you're playing
22:15
Speaker 1: a classic song there, and I I flashed back to
22:20
Speaker 1: when I was working at the mighty six ninety in
22:22
Speaker 1: San Diego as I was an intern and they got
22:24
Speaker 1: hired there to be a reporter. But there was a
22:27
Speaker 1: talk show host who this was his theme song. He
22:29
Speaker 1: loved this song like this was his played it all
22:32
Speaker 1: the time. It's a great song. This is a solid song.
22:34
Speaker 1: I wish I thought of it. It's perfect for the
22:37
Speaker 1: show because people say that the people that call the
22:39
Speaker 1: show are strange.
22:40
Speaker 7: I'm putting it on the board, so it was going
22:42
Speaker 7: to be one of our.
22:43
Speaker 1: It'll be a nice high rotation. And I'm thinking that
22:46
Speaker 1: would be pretty good for a parody song by a
22:50
Speaker 1: member of the Malad militia like that. Wouldn't that be
22:53
Speaker 1: pretty good? Like malaprop Guy or you know one of
22:56
Speaker 1: the other jays, Scoop just Josh do mix in some references,
23:01
Speaker 1: some malarisms from the shell right, some caller names in there,
23:05
Speaker 1: and I think that would be a perfect parody song.
23:08
Speaker 1: I'm surprised no one's done it. I don't remember anyone
23:11
Speaker 1: doing it. So anyway, we began this hour talking about
23:16
Speaker 1: the spit heard round the NFL as Jalen Carter ends
23:21
Speaker 1: up getting fake suspended by the NFL. There's no other
23:24
Speaker 1: way to say it. He got fake suspended. So there's that.
23:28
Speaker 1: And we also covered the forty nine ers losing George Kittle.
23:31
Speaker 1: He'll be out for a month. And they also embarrassingly
23:36
Speaker 1: fired their kicker, who they drafted in the third round
23:38
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. Remember all you idiots, tell
23:40
Speaker 1: me how important these draft picks are. Oh yeah, so
23:42
Speaker 1: great to draft a kicker in the third round who
23:44
Speaker 1: would miss sixteen field goals in his forty nine er career.
23:47
Speaker 1: Let's go to the phones. We'll say hello to Brett,
23:49
Speaker 1: who is in Nashville. Hello Brett, welcome.
23:53
Speaker 2: Hey Bda, how's it going bout hey?
23:55
Speaker 1: If I was any better, I'd be a Titan, but
23:58
Speaker 1: not a Tennessee Titan. Week Yeah.
24:03
Speaker 8: Man, I'm a depressed Dolphins fan, but I don't want
24:05
Speaker 8: to talk.
24:05
Speaker 1: About Okay, we are a Dolphin. It's even worse somehow,
24:09
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. It feels worse if you're a Miami Dolphin
24:12
Speaker 1: fan than a Tennessee Titan fan, which is amazing. The
24:15
Speaker 1: Titans were the worst team in the NFL. But right
24:18
Speaker 1: now it feels worse being a Dolphin fan.
24:21
Speaker 8: It does in Nashville, and my coworkers are.
24:24
Speaker 2: Like complaining about the Tennessee game. I'm like, you must
24:28
Speaker 2: not have watched the Dolphins game.
24:30
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, the Dolphins. That was a if that
24:33
Speaker 1: In basketball, we call that get the coach fired performance,
24:36
Speaker 1: Like you're trying to get the coach fired. You fall
24:39
Speaker 1: high by thirty points. The NFL, as you know, Brett,
24:42
Speaker 1: the NFL's design where every game comes down. Even the
24:45
Speaker 1: worst team in the NFL stays in the game and
24:48
Speaker 1: has a chance until the fourth quarter, and then the
24:50
Speaker 1: games decided in the fourth quarter. The game was over
24:52
Speaker 1: at halftime.
24:53
Speaker 8: Oh, it was horrible. Departmentcomic was first class compared to
24:57
Speaker 8: what they were flying Sunday.
24:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, exactly, it was horrific.
25:01
Speaker 8: Yeah, but I did.
25:02
Speaker 2: I wanted to call and say, did you see the
25:05
Speaker 2: video of dak and not to condone. Nobody should ever
25:09
Speaker 2: spit on anybody. It's a disgusting and the main thing
25:11
Speaker 2: to do.
25:11
Speaker 1: But you said, but you said, but you said, but
25:15
Speaker 1: that means everything everything you said before, that's a lie.
25:20
Speaker 1: You video. Yes, I did see the video. I did
25:24
Speaker 1: see the video. Okay, that's like saying, listen, I I
25:28
Speaker 1: shot the gun into the ground, and then the other
25:31
Speaker 1: person shot you between the eyes. There's a little bit
25:34
Speaker 1: of a difference there, a warning shot, you know, the
25:37
Speaker 1: whole thing.
25:37
Speaker 8: I don't know in this country if you shoot the
25:40
Speaker 8: gun in the ground at somebody.
25:41
Speaker 1: Okay, that was not that. That was not the greatest analogy. Okay,
25:44
Speaker 1: that was not the greatest analogy. But still I was trying.
25:47
Speaker 7: It was on the fly.
25:48
Speaker 1: Okay, it was on I ad meant that's a bat
25:51
Speaker 1: you win. That's a bad analogy by me. But still,
25:54
Speaker 1: you know, my thought process was in the right place.
25:57
Speaker 1: I do.
25:58
Speaker 8: What you say. It was of course bad, but dak
26:01
Speaker 8: knew what he was doing, and it was kind of a.
26:03
Speaker 2: You know what, move out.
26:05
Speaker 1: Generally you're allowed the NFL said you're allowed to spit
26:09
Speaker 1: as long they don't care about the ground. Now, I
26:11
Speaker 1: said this right after the game, Brad. I don't know
26:13
Speaker 1: if you listen, but I said, listen, at some point
26:15
Speaker 1: there will be a lawyer that will represent the ground
26:18
Speaker 1: and say that you cannot spit on the ground, that
26:21
Speaker 1: the dirt dirt matters, you know, and you can't spin it.
26:24
Speaker 1: But we're not at that point yet, so we don't
26:25
Speaker 1: have to worry about that yet. But but no, he sped,
26:28
Speaker 1: and Dak says, he spits all the time. He's a
26:31
Speaker 1: he's a chronic spitter thousand times a day. That a
26:34
Speaker 1: thousand times a day, he said. We did the math
26:36
Speaker 1: on it.
26:36
Speaker 8: Does he's smile and wink every time he.
26:41
Speaker 1: Hello, that's a.
26:44
Speaker 2: Thing.
26:45
Speaker 8: What This may be a stupid question, but I've only
26:47
Speaker 8: been listening to the show year and a half.
26:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, you say, Bill.
26:51
Speaker 1: Miller, Oh, here we go.
26:52
Speaker 3: This is.
26:54
Speaker 2: You're big MILLI Bill Miller.
26:57
Speaker 1: See, this is a tribute really to the company because
27:01
Speaker 1: for years I did the show with Eddie Garcia. I
27:03
Speaker 1: love Eddie. For whatever reason, they made a decision that's
27:06
Speaker 1: not my decision, that they made a decision to let
27:08
Speaker 1: Eddie go, and so I have to do the re
27:11
Speaker 1: joins now, and so I've decided to honor the company.
27:15
Speaker 1: Updated the website years ago here and they sent out
27:18
Speaker 1: a company wide email. They were very excited the new
27:21
Speaker 1: website Fox Sports Radio and man, I thought this was
27:24
Speaker 1: a big this shay. They were bragging me on all
27:26
Speaker 1: you guys to go check out your photos and your
27:28
Speaker 1: bios on this website. So I was all excited and
27:30
Speaker 1: I went to the computer and I clicked on it,
27:32
Speaker 1: and then I opened it up and then, you know,
27:34
Speaker 1: this is a long time ago. And I opened it
27:36
Speaker 1: up and there was my photo right there, and it
27:38
Speaker 1: had my bio and right above the photo it said
27:41
Speaker 1: Bill Miller is what it said. So they screwed up
27:44
Speaker 1: my first name and my last name, both names. So
27:48
Speaker 1: then I emailed them. I said, you know, that's kind
27:50
Speaker 1: of I mean, you f that up. That's a bad
27:52
Speaker 1: job by you. They said, don't worry, Ben, we're going
27:54
Speaker 1: to fix it. Give us about ten minutes, we'll update
27:56
Speaker 1: the website, no problem. So I waited about twenty minutes,
27:58
Speaker 1: I went to the website, I went back and they
28:00
Speaker 1: did change it.
28:01
Speaker 2: Uh.
28:01
Speaker 1: They then said I was Bill Mallor is what they said.
28:04
Speaker 9: So there you go. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a little
28:10
Speaker 9: bit of inside It's an inside joke, is what it is.
28:12
Speaker 9: And that's and just for the record, that's the old management.
28:15
Speaker 9: I would never offend the current management at Fox Sports Radio.
28:18
Speaker 9: That's the old That would not be smart. That's the
28:21
Speaker 9: old management.
28:21
Speaker 1: They're long gone. They're way out of there. In fact,
28:24
Speaker 1: one of those guys is dead, long gone.
28:27
Speaker 8: So anyway, all right, well man, I always enjoy it.
28:30
Speaker 8: You keep me going here on a night shift at
28:32
Speaker 8: the prison, and always enjoy talking to you.
28:34
Speaker 1: All right, Well good luck you're you are of course adult,
28:37
Speaker 1: you're an adult babysitter, so be allough you were you
28:40
Speaker 1: work behind the scenes, right, you're not? I got you?
28:43
Speaker 1: All right, Thank you, Brett. There's Brett from Nashville. Let's
28:45
Speaker 1: say hello to eeny meenie, miney Moe. Let's say hello
28:48
Speaker 1: to Michael, who's in Tucson. What's going on? Michael? Welcome?
28:52
Speaker 10: What's that big fast?
28:54
Speaker 4: I have?
28:56
Speaker 10: Yes, look at the football. All your co workers at
29:00
Speaker 10: Fox spores love the Broncos, Bonegs.
29:05
Speaker 1: They're all really, they all do. Is that right? I
29:07
Speaker 1: think Cooper? I didn't know who else is a Bronco.
29:11
Speaker 10: I won't say own names, but some of us friends
29:12
Speaker 10: with Champagne and they brag about the Broncos and we
29:16
Speaker 10: can only we can only count of week one. See
29:18
Speaker 10: when yourself and you say, I get paid to talk
29:21
Speaker 10: about what happened right now the future, that's.
29:23
Speaker 1: Right, that's right. That you're using a melorism right there,
29:26
Speaker 1: that's my line. That's the raid and that's my line.
29:30
Speaker 1: He's using my line.
29:31
Speaker 10: Yes, thank you, you get paid someone right now. But
29:36
Speaker 10: what the Raiders did this past weekend, does that change
29:38
Speaker 10: their aspect of what we did? And does I watched
29:41
Speaker 10: the Broncos.
29:41
Speaker 2: Play the Chiefs, pray they don't look good.
29:44
Speaker 1: They don't look good, well the Broncos. The Broncos somehow
29:48
Speaker 1: hold on. The Broncos somehow didn't cover the spread against
29:51
Speaker 1: the Titans, which is somewhat concerning. And they only scored
29:55
Speaker 1: twenty points, which is not ideal considering that.
29:57
Speaker 7: You know, depends when you made the bet.
30:00
Speaker 1: When I it was eight and a half when we
30:02
Speaker 1: did Benny versus the Penny. So that's that's what I
30:04
Speaker 1: went on Open seven and a half. It was eight
30:06
Speaker 1: and a half. On DraftKings it was eight and a half.
30:09
Speaker 2: Uh.
30:09
Speaker 1: But but nonetheless, I mean, the Raiders, I don't know
30:11
Speaker 1: that you can get two worked up about being beating
30:14
Speaker 1: the Patriots because they're they're bad. I mean, they're the
30:18
Speaker 1: Patsy's that's what they are. They're back to being the
30:19
Speaker 1: pat It's nice that they won the game, and they
30:22
Speaker 1: did put up a good amount of offense. And I'm
30:24
Speaker 1: not the biggest Geno Smith fan in the world, but
30:26
Speaker 1: he had a typical Gino Smith game where he threw
30:29
Speaker 1: for a lot of yards and he mixed in a
30:32
Speaker 1: touchdown and he turned the ball over. And that's what
30:34
Speaker 1: you're gonna get from Gino Smith. So anyway, all right,
30:39
Speaker 1: thank you, Mike. Oh he's there, he's still there. Yes,
30:41
Speaker 1: go ahead, mikeel my Ben.
30:43
Speaker 2: Real Quick, Real Quick Free.
30:44
Speaker 10: Make shout out to all all the overnight Uber drivers.

Speaker 1: You're uber cool. Be safe driving the roads. Oliver, Tucson,
31:02
Speaker 1: All right, thank you this Michael there in Tucson. Let's
31:07
Speaker 1: see your eating meany miney miney, Tuxan. Let's go to
31:10
Speaker 1: John real Quick in Anchorage, beautiful Anchorage, Alaska where it's
31:14
Speaker 1: like a night show in Anchorage. It's not an overnight show. Right,
31:17
Speaker 1: we're doing night times. We're not doing overnights at Anchorage, right, John.
31:20
Speaker 6: That's right, but I love you. You're from nine o'clock
31:23
Speaker 6: at neither in Anchorage until two in the morning.
31:25
Speaker 1: Look at that nine o'clock, baby, nine o'clock and there
31:28
Speaker 1: is there's nothing more happening. What's the night life like
31:31
Speaker 1: in Anchorage? I've never been, John, what's the night life like?
31:34
Speaker 6: I'm too old to know?
31:36
Speaker 1: Okay, perfect, can you pretend to be in the demo? No,
31:39
Speaker 1: I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Real, I don't have a lot
31:41
Speaker 1: of time. What you got, John, What do you have
31:42
Speaker 1: for me?
31:43
Speaker 6: When I was in the tenth grade one summer, my
31:47
Speaker 6: best friend was a young man in Los Angeles named
31:49
Speaker 6: Alan Mallor. And I'm wondering if you have an uncle
31:52
Speaker 6: or a grandfather named Alan Mallor?
31:56
Speaker 5: You know what?
31:57
Speaker 1: Probably you know. I don't know when this was, but
32:00
Speaker 1: were at one point a lot of the Malor family
32:03
Speaker 1: was in LA so probably was someone related to me.
32:09
Speaker 6: Then he was for a short time or maybe a
32:11
Speaker 6: long time.
32:12
Speaker 1: I don't know what high school he got.
32:14
Speaker 6: I went to LA High but he.
32:16
Speaker 1: Did not go to LA Oh, okay, well, my dad
32:18
Speaker 1: went to Dorsey High School in LA So.
32:20
Speaker 2: He was.
32:22
Speaker 6: A rabbi at a synagogue in culver curty. I'm assuming
32:27
Speaker 6: he were a culvert.
32:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably, I mean I don't. I'd have to go
32:31
Speaker 1: back and check the family tree. I don't. I mean
32:32
Speaker 1: I assume yes, because it's not a common name, so
32:35
Speaker 1: I'm probably probably if it's smelled the same way my
32:37
Speaker 1: name is, probably was.
32:38
Speaker 7: So if it's spelled like a Mallard, it's probably a Malleary.
32:43
Speaker 1: Look at that, John. It's a small small world, John,
32:49
Speaker 1: it's a small small well. Thank you for listening. Man,
32:51
Speaker 1: call it calls again. I don't have a lot of time,
32:53
Speaker 1: but I appreciate you checking. And there's John from Anchorage, Alaska,
32:58
Speaker 1: which I got to get to Alaska at some point.
33:00
Speaker 1: A lot of people have been there here it's beautiful,

35:18
Speaker 1: James from Fergdog. Eugene is the answer from Milkman Mike,

35:25
Speaker 1: Barry Larkin from William Albert Pool host guests by Andy
35:29
Speaker 1: and Lionel Lakes, Pete Lecoq from BP that's his answer.
35:35
Speaker 1: Old player for the Cubs back in the day, the
35:38
Speaker 1: Big Cat Andres Golaura Eloy from Compton says the Cleveland
35:43
Speaker 1: Indians legend Pedro Serrano, who I met at one point,

35:51
Speaker 7: Are you flexing?
35:53
Speaker 1: No, I don't have time to tell us. It was

Speaker 1: tell I'll tell maybe I'll tell them the podcast Manuel
35:58
Speaker 1: and Guardina going with Steve Eve Garvey as his answer,
36:02
Speaker 1: John Olerude from Rob in Vegas and Lorraine, Uh, it
36:08
Speaker 1: is not Dave Caman guess by JT the Wingman who's
36:10
Speaker 1: up early in Knoxville or Boog Powell from Chip and
36:13
Speaker 1: the Cues. Do you have an answer? Yeah, I'm going
36:15
Speaker 1: with Wally pip Eh. How do you know who Wally
36:19
Speaker 1: pip is? Google there? Johnny Oates was guessed by Sean
36:26
Speaker 1: That's not the answer. The correct answer a player who
36:30
Speaker 1: played so long ago they were just known as the Astros.
36:33
Speaker 1: Jeff Bagwell is the answer, Jeff Bagwell. Here we go,
36:40
Speaker 1: Here we go to the third degree. This is one
36:46
Speaker 1: Big Ben gets grilled.
36:50
Speaker 5: So the Broncos were able to start off their season
36:52
Speaker 5: with a win despite poor play from second year quarterback
36:54
Speaker 5: bow Knicks. This has caused a contingent of the fan
36:57
Speaker 5: base to panic, with some even calling for Jared Stidham. Now, Ben,
37:02
Speaker 5: is it is it time to panic for the Broncos?
37:05
Speaker 1: For some reason? Your MIC's very overmodulated. There, Yes, always panic, Coop,
37:10
Speaker 1: You always must. No, of course not they won the game.
37:14
Speaker 1: You panic when you play like that and you lose
37:16
Speaker 1: the game. When you win the game, it doesn't matter.
37:19
Speaker 1: It's like putting on a nice cologne. It takes the
37:22
Speaker 1: full smell of the loss the odor away. So no,
37:26
Speaker 1: if they start losing games and he's playing like that,
37:28
Speaker 1: then you make a change. But they're gonna ride with
37:31
Speaker 1: Bow the Bow Show next.
37:32
Speaker 5: So it was announced on Monday that George Kittle will
37:34
Speaker 5: miss around a month with a hamstring injury.
37:37
Speaker 7: Ben, how bad is this news for the Niners?
37:39
Speaker 1: Well, it's we talked about it. It's a mess. I mean,
37:42
Speaker 1: they don't have the playmakers that they've had and their
37:45
Speaker 1: quarterback doesn't make players around George Kittle better. So it
37:50
Speaker 1: is a huge deal for the forty nine ers. Now,
37:52
Speaker 1: brock Perty's got an opportunity here, he's got an opportunity
37:56
Speaker 1: to change the story about his career. I'm not betting
37:59
Speaker 1: on brock Purty, though I am. He might have missed
38:02
Speaker 1: the game this weekend. He's hurt, so it's a big deal.
38:05
Speaker 5: Next the New York Mets probably aren't going to be
38:07
Speaker 5: catching the Phillies and the NL East, but as of
38:09
Speaker 5: right now, they hold on to that third and final
38:11
Speaker 5: NL wild card spot.
38:13
Speaker 7: Ben, do you think they keep it?
38:16
Speaker 2: No?
38:16
Speaker 1: I think the better story is them choking it. The
38:19
Speaker 1: Giants have been playing, but I think that the last
38:21
Speaker 1: twenty games or so, they have the second best record
38:23
Speaker 1: in baseball. So they've been playing a lot better in
38:26
Speaker 1: San Francisco, and Rafael Devers is hitting similar to what
38:30
Speaker 1: he did in Boston, and I just I love the
38:34
Speaker 1: Met fans when they blow it. And to not even
38:37
Speaker 1: make the playoffs with this roster, that would be so great. God,
38:41
Speaker 1: I want that to happen. Obviously I hate the Giants,
38:44
Speaker 1: but I want the Giants to make the playoffs for
38:46
Speaker 1: the Mets. Anyway, there it is Cooperloop. How did we do?
38:50
Speaker 1: As they win?
38:52
Speaker 8: I won, I'm a winner.
38:54
Speaker 1: I won snooker, snuoker, I won
