Hour 1 - Down Goes Dart · The Ben Maller Show

0:00
Speaker 1: Body blow, body blow, body blow. It's hour number one.
0:06
Speaker 1: And here we go, Geronimo, in hour number one of
0:10
Speaker 1: the Ben Maller Show. Happy Wednesday. It's hump day. Do
0:14
Speaker 1: the humpty dumpty here on this 23rd day of the
0:17
Speaker 1: month of September. Here in hour number one, what is
0:20
Speaker 1: the biggest consequence of Jackson Dart potentially missing most or
0:27
Speaker 1: all of the Giants' season. The quarterback initially thought the
0:31
Speaker 1: Giants thought the injury was not that bad. Turns out
0:34
Speaker 1: apparently it is. Also, you make the call. Who should
0:37
Speaker 1: coach John Harbaugh and the Giants go to get to
0:41
Speaker 1: plug the hole at quarterback one without Jackson Dart in
0:47
Speaker 1: the lineup anytime soon or probably all year? and some
0:51
Speaker 1: are claiming the Giants should just throw in the sponge
0:54
Speaker 1: without Jackson Dart, tank, try to get a top-five pick again,
0:58
Speaker 1: get some big stud, offensive lineman, another playmaker, and load
1:03
Speaker 1: up at the 2027 NFL Draft. What say you? We'll
1:07
Speaker 1: talk about all of that and more right now. Give
1:09
Speaker 1: it up for my friend, our number one. Well, his
1:14
Speaker 1: name is Jackson Dart, and his season is gone like
1:20
Speaker 1: a wet fart. Welcome in the beginning of another night
1:27
Speaker 1: of the Ben Maller Show. Just one after another after
1:31
Speaker 1: another after another. I know. We are in the air everywhere. Wadling.
1:40
Speaker 1: As we have fun with creatures of the night, coast
1:45
Speaker 1: to coast, border to border and beyond, on the vast
1:49
Speaker 1: and weirdly powerful microphones of FSR emanating live. Do it live!
1:58
Speaker 1: Do it live!
1:59
Speaker 2: Do it live!
2:00
Speaker 1: From the snap, as in the big bowl of snap, crackle,
2:05
Speaker 1: and pop, guaranteed human from the world-famous... Fox Sports Radio Studios,
2:12
Speaker 1: where legends like Wayne from Mizzou and Dominican Mike and,
2:16
Speaker 1: of course, the Holy Trinity. The Supreme Court of the
2:20
Speaker 1: Malheur Militia, led by Ferg Dog, Malheur Prop Guy, and
2:23
Speaker 1: Alf the Alien O'Piner, have a need. They have a
2:27
Speaker 1: need for the hot take. Give us the hot take.
2:31
Speaker 1: We must have the hot take, and that's how that works.
2:33
Speaker 1: We have plenty of hot takes. You give us a
2:36
Speaker 1: couple minutes. We'll give you a hot take, 100% on that.
2:41
Speaker 1: And don't bury the lead, my man! All right, so
2:43
Speaker 1: you know the lead. I assume you know the lead
2:45
Speaker 1: if you paid attention at all. It's possible that you
2:47
Speaker 1: have not paid attention. It's a bad job by you.
2:51
Speaker 1: So our lead this hour from New Jersey, that is
2:55
Speaker 1: Big Apple adjacent. And have we done a wellness check
3:00
Speaker 1: on the moving man and the other giant fans? Our
3:03
Speaker 1: friend Eddie there. Thumbs up, thumbs down, Eddie and Charlotte.
3:07
Speaker 1: And there's a few others here that enjoy the big blue.
3:11
Speaker 1: They are the wrecking crew. They've wrecked their season, or
3:13
Speaker 1: have they? We have a follow-up, follow-up to a story
3:18
Speaker 1: we talked about in a previous episode of the show,
3:20
Speaker 1: Jackson Dart. Oh, my left knee!
3:23
Speaker 3: Yeah.
3:25
Speaker 1: Well, it turns out that the initial optimistic medical reports
3:30
Speaker 1: were bogus, and it's much more serious than initially believed. Whoa, whoa. Yes, yes.
3:38
Speaker 1: The Giants quarterback now could, that's a weasel word, could
3:42
Speaker 1: miss the rest of the season. That's after some additional testing.
3:49
Speaker 1: They poked and prodded and all that. So if you
3:52
Speaker 1: saw this, you know about it. A dart is expected
3:54
Speaker 1: to miss. Even if he does conceivably have a chance
3:58
Speaker 1: to come back and play, he's going to miss the
4:00
Speaker 1: balance of the season here. And that's the initial plan
4:05
Speaker 1: as of now. that he is going to be persona
4:08
Speaker 1: non grata there. He'll be out and likely going to
4:11
Speaker 1: have season-ending, out of abundance of caution, season-ending surgery on
4:17
Speaker 1: the knee. Jackson Dart injured on the seventh play, seventh
4:21
Speaker 1: offensive play for the Giants in the Monday night blowout
4:24
Speaker 1: loss to the LA Rams as it was a sandwich.
4:28
Speaker 1: and Jackson Dart was caught in between. He was the
4:31
Speaker 1: meat of the sandwich. You had Byron Young, who hit him,
4:35
Speaker 1: and then sent him flying in to someone named Josiah Stewart,
4:41
Speaker 1: who then undercut the legs of Jackson Dart, and that
4:46
Speaker 1: led to the Wowie Kazowie situation. So it was definitely
4:52
Speaker 1: a Wowie Kazowie situation for Jackson Dart. Now, the news
4:56
Speaker 1: represent him. A major, major reversal from John Harbaugh, who post-game,
5:04
Speaker 1: following the Monday night game, had great optimism. In fact,
5:09
Speaker 1: Harbaugh had said that they avoided a devastating outcome. Except
5:15
Speaker 1: they didn't avoid a devastating outcome. Harbaugh said evaluations remain ongoing.
5:22
Speaker 1: which is code for I don't want to give you
5:23
Speaker 1: a straight answer. And the Giants, quote, must prepare for
5:27
Speaker 1: the range of possibilities, which means he gone. See you later.
5:33
Speaker 1: And he declined to give a firm answer because he's
5:36
Speaker 1: a coach and coaches are weasels. And that's how that works.
5:40
Speaker 1: So it's also a good jumping off point. Let us
5:43
Speaker 1: discuss the question. What is the biggest consequence? What is
5:48
Speaker 1: the biggest consequence of Jackson Dart potentially missing most or
5:54
Speaker 1: all of the 2026 Giants season? So I've got Geek Squad,
6:00
Speaker 1: Camp Snoopy, and Secret Menu. And we will combine all
6:06
Speaker 1: of these things together and we are going to relish.
6:10
Speaker 1: Relish being a loud mouth is what we're going to do.
6:12
Speaker 1: So A, I would like to send a text message,
6:16
Speaker 1: an audio text message, an audio message to my friends.
6:20
Speaker 1: I'm not a Giant fan. I do have some relatives
6:23
Speaker 1: who are from New York who are Giants fans who
6:25
Speaker 1: live there. So that's a lot. A few Jet fans
6:28
Speaker 1: in the family. The Giant fans, the audio message is
6:32
Speaker 1: rather simple. Jackson Dart's future with the Giants is endangered.
6:43
Speaker 1: the franchise quarterback of the future, Jackson Dart. Jackson Dart. Well,
6:50
Speaker 1: it turns out that tag is not a lifetime subscription.
6:54
Speaker 1: Just because you have been given the title quarterback of
6:57
Speaker 1: the future, franchise quarterback of the future, that is not
7:02
Speaker 1: a lifetime subscription. It is just not. You can cancel
7:05
Speaker 1: it any time, and it would appear, based on what
7:08
Speaker 1: has happened here now, Dart simply hasn't accomplished enough to
7:13
Speaker 1: to secure a reserved parking spot as QB1. He doesn't
7:17
Speaker 1: have the gig. And he had been tagged with the
7:20
Speaker 1: capital P, capital P Potential, Jackson Dart, based on where
7:25
Speaker 1: he was drafted. However, potential does not come with AppleCare.
7:31
Speaker 1: It's not part of the package. You don't get the
7:33
Speaker 1: AppleCare for your starting job. So that's a bit of
7:36
Speaker 1: a problem for Jackson Thard. And he's had durability concerns.
7:40
Speaker 1: I remember coming out of college, there were people saying,
7:42
Speaker 1: is he going to be able to stand up to
7:43
Speaker 1: the NFL? And then when he played a decent amount
7:47
Speaker 1: his first year in the NFL, the way that he
7:49
Speaker 1: was running recklessly, people were losing their minds. Oh, my God. Now,
7:54
Speaker 1: the play that he got hurt on against the Rams,
7:56
Speaker 1: he was in the pocket. He wasn't running amok. And
8:00
Speaker 1: he still ended up getting hurt. There were some durability
8:03
Speaker 1: issues coming out of Cosworth. People were questioning whether or
8:05
Speaker 1: not he could hold up to the NFL life. And
8:08
Speaker 1: those people that questioned the durability of Jackson Dart have
8:12
Speaker 1: been proven to be completely truthful with that analysis. So
8:18
Speaker 1: now he could come back healthy and only discover once
8:23
Speaker 1: he comes back healthy a year from now that somebody
8:26
Speaker 1: changed the password and And he was gone, and he
8:29
Speaker 1: didn't get the new password. And he's got to contact
8:31
Speaker 1: HR because he's likely been put into the transfer portal. Now, remember, also,
8:38
Speaker 1: he was not John Harbaugh's hand-picked guy. He was picked
8:42
Speaker 1: by the previous regime, and it was not a Harbaugh pick.
8:46
Speaker 1: And so life does come at you fast in the NFL.
8:48
Speaker 1: You can certainly lose your job because of injury. And
8:53
Speaker 1: even if the Giants don't go out and get someone
8:55
Speaker 1: who's a young quarterback and they say, well, that's our guy.
8:58
Speaker 1: He plays well. Even if that's not the case, nobody
9:02
Speaker 1: waits around for multiple years. Like if the laptop is cracked,
9:06
Speaker 1: you don't wait around multiple years here for it to
9:09
Speaker 1: come back from the geek squad. You don't do that.
9:11
Speaker 1: You just go out and buy another laptop. And every
9:13
Speaker 1: year there's a bunch of new laptops in this thing
9:15
Speaker 1: called the draft. And you can get one or you
9:18
Speaker 1: can acquire a laptop from somebody else, a used laptop.
9:21
Speaker 1: You can get that. So the NFL upgrade cycle. It
9:26
Speaker 1: is the reality of the world. Some say it's ruthless. Newer, younger, healthier.
9:32
Speaker 1: That's a big one. Cheaper often is attractive. And if
9:37
Speaker 1: you can ship overnight, boy, that's pretty cool. If you
9:41
Speaker 1: can ship overnight, boy, that's pretty cool. Now, meanwhile, keeping
9:43
Speaker 1: the beat going here, while Jameis Winston... had the opportunity
9:48
Speaker 1: against the Rams, played the majority of the game, and
9:51
Speaker 1: how did that go? It was a dummy run for
9:53
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston, and boy, did he play like a dummy.
9:56
Speaker 1: Holy crap. Now, there is chatter. There is chatter. that
10:00
Speaker 1: the New York football Giants will go into the market
10:04
Speaker 1: and try to acquire a quarterback. Have you heard some
10:07
Speaker 1: of the names bandied about here for the Giants? These
10:09
Speaker 1: are not exciting names. Carson Wentz of the Vikings, who's
10:13
Speaker 1: been usurped by the little garden gnome there. The fun-sized
10:17
Speaker 1: QB in Minnesota. Carson Wentz. Justin Fields, who's in Kansas City.
10:25
Speaker 1: You got Justin Fields there. Tua Tongavailoa, who hasn't even
10:30
Speaker 1: played yet for the Atlanta Falcons. His name has been
10:33
Speaker 1: tossed out as well. And there's a couple of others
10:36
Speaker 1: that have been... Tossed into the gossip machine and all that.
10:40
Speaker 1: So the question, you make the call. Who should John
10:46
Speaker 1: Harbaugh and the Giants go get to plug the hole
10:50
Speaker 1: at QB1 with what appears to be Jackson Dart out
10:53
Speaker 1: for the season? For the Giants. So here's what I
10:58
Speaker 1: would do. And I'm never wrong. I activated the Maller
11:00
Speaker 1: think tank for this. You know how hard it is
11:03
Speaker 1: for me to activate the Maller think tank? There's a
11:05
Speaker 1: lot of gadgets and gizmos and things you've got to
11:08
Speaker 1: press there to make this happen. And I pulled some
11:10
Speaker 1: levers and we activated the Maller think tank. And we've determined,
11:13
Speaker 1: here's what we would do. Here's what we would do.
11:16
Speaker 1: I give Jameis Winston a two-game free trial. Two-game free trial,
11:22
Speaker 1: and that comes against the Tennessee Titans and the Cardinals.
11:25
Speaker 1: A couple of cream puffs. Delicious cream puffs. Yum, yum
11:30
Speaker 1: to my tum-tum. And after that, somebody's credit card is
11:34
Speaker 1: getting charged. You got a two-game free trial, and that's it. Now,
11:38
Speaker 1: Winston does not have to go out and be Superman
11:41
Speaker 1: or Crab Legs Man. He doesn't have to be that.
11:44
Speaker 1: He doesn't have to be that guy. He just needs
11:46
Speaker 1: to prove that his football expiration date has not passed
11:50
Speaker 1: because it looked like the expiration date had passed and
11:53
Speaker 1: he'd become a moldy quarterback against the Rams in that game.
11:57
Speaker 1: It was terrible. So if Jameis continues the belly whopper
12:02
Speaker 1: as the backup, then John Harbaugh and his useful idiots
12:07
Speaker 1: around him, he's got his toadies in the Giants' front office,
12:10
Speaker 1: then John Harbaugh and that team, they have to get
12:13
Speaker 1: together And they have to contact a temp agency and say, okay,
12:17
Speaker 1: what are we going to do here? And then why
12:19
Speaker 1: don't we go out and get the guy that kind
12:21
Speaker 1: of knows how I'm wired and all that, and we
12:23
Speaker 1: have a history together, and why not? So it's time
12:26
Speaker 1: to go Camp Snoopy for the Giants. If Winston flames out,
12:32
Speaker 1: you go Camp Snoopy. You bring in Joe Cool. Bring
12:36
Speaker 1: in Joe Cool. John Harbaugh and Joe Flacco, they have
12:39
Speaker 1: a past. It's the reunion nobody requested. Nobody requested, but
12:45
Speaker 1: everyone understands if it happens. You're like, I kind of
12:48
Speaker 1: get that. I kind of get that. And Flacco's certainly
12:51
Speaker 1: not perfect. I'm not going to sit here and wax
12:53
Speaker 1: loquacious about Joe Flacco, this, that, and the other thing.
12:57
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be that guy. Flacco is certainly,
13:00
Speaker 1: he's got issues. There's some warts on him, imperfections. He's
13:04
Speaker 1: in his early 40s. And the good news is you
13:07
Speaker 1: can get him for, for popcorn. Unbuttered popcorn. You don't
13:11
Speaker 1: even have to put butter on the popcorn. Just regular
13:13
Speaker 1: popcorn without the butter. You can get him for that.
13:16
Speaker 1: And he's zero threat to take over as the franchise
13:20
Speaker 1: quarterback long term. So Jackson Dart would approve Joe Flacco
13:24
Speaker 1: coming in. And the boomers often, the old timers say, well,
13:29
Speaker 1: you know, it's not over because you can go out
13:32
Speaker 1: and get a backup and you can get Kurt Warner,
13:36
Speaker 1: the greatest show on turf, the St. Louis Rams. Nick Foles,
13:39
Speaker 1: Nick Falls, that Eagle team years ago that went on
13:43
Speaker 1: the magic carpet ride in the playoffs when Carson Wentz
13:46
Speaker 1: got hurt. And if you're a real old-timer, you remember
13:48
Speaker 1: the name Jeff Hostetler from the Bill Parcells Giants back
13:52
Speaker 1: in two generations when the Giants went on a run
13:55
Speaker 1: when their quarterback got hurt with Jeff Hostetler, the backup.
13:59
Speaker 1: So that is the model that many bring up. It's
14:03
Speaker 1: backup play. Folklore. It's like casino advertising. Look at the
14:08
Speaker 1: advertising for casinos, and everyone wins, and you go down
14:13
Speaker 1: Glory Road, much like a backup quarterback, of course. For
14:17
Speaker 1: every Nick Foles, Kurt Warner, and Jeff Hostetler, you have
14:20
Speaker 1: 9,000 quarterbacks who make a left turn onto the struggle street.
14:26
Speaker 1: And instead of Glory Road, they went on Struggle Street,
14:29
Speaker 1: which is a bit of a problem there. So Dart
14:31
Speaker 1: better hope that Flacco is the guy, not somebody younger,
14:35
Speaker 1: who's got more than a couple years or more than
14:38
Speaker 1: one year left in him. And then if Flacco comes
14:40
Speaker 1: in and plays well, it's not that big a deal.
14:42
Speaker 1: If he stinks, okay. Nothing makes yesterdays. future disappear faster
14:49
Speaker 1: than tomorrow's healthier model. If you have a younger, healthier model.
14:53
Speaker 1: So we'll see about that. Now, the last word I
14:55
Speaker 1: would like to address the skunk in the room. I
15:00
Speaker 1: would like to talk to the skunk in the room.
15:03
Speaker 1: So I'm told there is a faction of giant aficionados
15:10
Speaker 1: that are ready to shut it all down. Shut her down,
15:13
Speaker 1: shut her down, shut her down, shut her down, shut
15:15
Speaker 1: her down. Just like that. So the question is this.
15:19
Speaker 1: There are some claiming now that the Giants should just
15:23
Speaker 1: throw in the sponge, throw in the sponge without Jackson Dart,
15:28
Speaker 1: and tank. Get a top five pick in the draft
15:34
Speaker 1: and reload in 2027. Get another stud receiver or another
15:39
Speaker 1: great defensive player or another offensive lineman. So what say you?
15:44
Speaker 1: What say you? So here's what I say. The Giants
15:49
Speaker 1: have played not one, two. Two games the Giants have played.
15:55
Speaker 1: And yet here we are a chunk. I hope this
15:58
Speaker 1: is a small group, not a large group of Giant
16:01
Speaker 1: fans who are so addicted. to mock drafts that they
16:07
Speaker 1: apparently want to skip the balance of the NFL season.
16:10
Speaker 1: They just want to get rid of the rest of
16:12
Speaker 1: the NFL season entirely. And it's just, hey, Jackson Dart
16:17
Speaker 1: got hurt, so we're just done. That's it. We have
16:19
Speaker 1: no chance. See you later. And these tanking dingbats want
16:26
Speaker 1: the Giants to order off the secret menu. Now, what
16:29
Speaker 1: is the secret menu? It's the menu the Giants have
16:32
Speaker 1: been ordering off of for many, many years here. It's
16:36
Speaker 1: called not the manager's special. That's on the other page.
16:39
Speaker 1: If you look at page two, it's the quitter's special.
16:43
Speaker 1: And it's right there before the appetizers have arrived. Just
16:47
Speaker 1: that's it. We're done. Done, done, done, done, done. See
16:51
Speaker 1: you later. See you later. Not even alligators. See you later.
16:54
Speaker 1: Just order that off the secret menu. So tell me,
16:57
Speaker 1: if you believe in that, tell me you're a Mama
16:58
Speaker 1: Luke without telling me you're a Mama Luke. You are
17:01
Speaker 1: total jack wagon if you think the Giants should just
17:04
Speaker 1: shut her down after two games. Does it look good? No,
17:08
Speaker 1: it doesn't look good. Does that mean you shut it down? No,
17:11
Speaker 1: you don't shut it down. What's wrong with you? And
17:14
Speaker 1: you hired John Harbaugh. Y'all told me you hired John
17:17
Speaker 1: Harbaugh to fumigate the locker room. to get rid of
17:21
Speaker 1: the bad mojo that had been there for all these
17:23
Speaker 1: years here. And this is an adult in the room,
17:26
Speaker 1: and everyone says the same thing. Oh, it's a different
17:28
Speaker 1: thing with the Giants now. These aren't the same Giants. Okay.
17:32
Speaker 1: So if that's the case, why would you want to
17:35
Speaker 1: do what the same Giants did in the past, where
17:37
Speaker 1: they just went out there and sucked at a time
17:40
Speaker 1: you can't suck? And who wants to spend the rest
17:43
Speaker 1: of the season, by choice, riding the vomit comet? Why
17:47
Speaker 1: would you want to do that? That makes no sense.
17:50
Speaker 1: So you don't change a losing culture by losing on purpose.
17:55
Speaker 1: You don't. It's like cheering alcoholism. You got an alcohol problem.
18:00
Speaker 1: All right, I know what we should do. Why don't
18:01
Speaker 1: we put you in a room with an open bar?
18:03
Speaker 1: That seems like a good idea. What could go wrong? Yes,
18:07
Speaker 1: an open bar. It's, yeah. As they say in Britain,
18:12
Speaker 1: you're a bunch of wankers if you think that. All right,
18:14
Speaker 1: come on now. The Giants don't need to throw in
18:17
Speaker 1: the sponge. The Maller think tank advice for John Harbaugh
18:20
Speaker 1: and the Giants, unsolicited. They need to grab that sponge.
18:24
Speaker 1: It's on the floor. Grab that sponge. Don't throw it.
18:27
Speaker 1: Don't throw the sponge and wipe the blood. Wipe the
18:31
Speaker 1: blood off the face there, their own face, and then
18:34
Speaker 1: get back in the ring and do your thing. And
18:37
Speaker 1: let's see here. Scratch and claw and overachieve and build
18:42
Speaker 1: a winning identity that you're not just going to be
18:45
Speaker 1: the same old sorry-ass pathetic Giants and roll over and
18:47
Speaker 1: play dead. So we'll see how this goes. It is
18:50
Speaker 1: the Ben Maler Show. If you would like to be part,
18:53
Speaker 1: we will open up the phone lines here at 877-99
18:58
Speaker 1: on Fox. That's 877-99 on Fox if you want to
19:03
Speaker 1: be part. And you can answer the call of the wild. Now,
19:08
Speaker 1: you don't have to call in. There's no need to
19:11
Speaker 1: call in. But if you want to call in, if
19:12
Speaker 1: you think that there's other people listening that actually want
19:16
Speaker 1: to hear what you have to say, that you have
19:17
Speaker 1: something so important that other people who are working and
19:21
Speaker 1: trying to sleep and can't sleep because they have insomnia
19:23
Speaker 1: are listening, or those dreaded daytime people listening later on

Speaker 4: Welcome to Football Doesn't Lie.
20:28
Speaker 5: Hi, I'm Bill Parcells.
20:30
Speaker 4: And I'm Catherine Zazzora.
20:31
Speaker 6: I have a lot of experience in the game of football, Catherine.
20:35
Speaker 4: And I'm learning the game with Bill's help. Every week,
20:38
Speaker 4: we're going to talk about the NFL slate through the
20:40
Speaker 4: lens of Bill's expertise as he coaches me from novice
20:43
Speaker 4: fan to football expert over the course of the season.
20:46
Speaker 6: You know, I'm looking forward to this show, Catherine, and
20:49
Speaker 6: hopefully we can give our audience a little in-depth look
20:52
Speaker 6: into the inner sanctum of pro football that they can't
20:55
Speaker 6: get anywhere else.

Speaker 4: Tune in every Thursday for unfiltered stories from Coach Parcells,
21:00
Speaker 4: analysis on the state of the modern game, and education
21:03
Speaker 4: on how football really works.
21:05
Speaker 5: Continuity is very important but what happens when you get
21:10
Speaker 5: good coaches on your staff and people begin to recognize
21:13
Speaker 5: them then they want to hire them and then you
21:16
Speaker 5: can't stop a guy from trying to improve himself but
21:20
Speaker 5: you have to replace.
21:21
Speaker 4: Them Because once you understand what's going on inside the
21:24
Speaker 4: mind of the coaches, you'll understand more about the whole game.
21:28
Speaker 5: So all aspects can be discussed.
21:30
Speaker 6: The only thing I haven't done, because I didn't have
21:32
Speaker 6: enough money, I don't own the team.
21:35
Speaker 5: I never owned a team.
21:36
Speaker 4: Listen to Football Doesn't Lie on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,

22:34
Speaker 1: And it's there every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. It's a
22:38
Speaker 1: labor of love. He's the daddy. That's my public position.
22:43
Speaker 1: It's a labor of love. My private position, I will

22:59

23:04
Speaker 1: be found at abrocofan. That's abrocofan. Your comments can and will...
23:11
Speaker 1: be used against you in the court of the Malamutian.
23:14
Speaker 1: So please act accordingly. All right. The Mexican John Dutton
23:19
Speaker 1: writes in, he says, embrace the tanking giant fans. JJ
23:24
Speaker 1: from Mexico says, screw you and your baby Rams putting
23:30
Speaker 1: a hit on Jackson. Yeah, well, maybe if Jackson had
23:34
Speaker 1: some more milk as a kid, he would have stronger bones.
23:36
Speaker 1: I don't know what you want me to do here.
23:38
Speaker 1: Ram milk? Tony says Anthony Richardson to the Giants. Yeah,
23:43
Speaker 1: why not? Let's get every suckbag quarterback and send him
23:47
Speaker 1: to the Giants. That makes sense. Who else do we have?
23:51
Speaker 1: Nature Boy answering the call of the wild says maybe
23:54
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning might want to give it a crack at
23:57
Speaker 1: quarterback for New York. What the heck? Kathy in Madison says,
24:02
Speaker 1: welcome back to Eke in Roseville, Minnesota. Kathy listening to
24:07
Speaker 1: the Ben Malish show tonight in San Diego on KGB,
24:12
Speaker 1: but not the Russian KGB, the other KGB. There you go.
24:18
Speaker 1: Donkey Sausage says, no talk about the most absurd baseball
24:22
Speaker 1: field rename of all time, Detroit's Comerica Park becoming fifth
24:29
Speaker 1: third park. Well, we don't get paid to promote these
24:34
Speaker 1: different ballparks and all that stuff. So, you know, if
24:37
Speaker 1: they want to pay us to do a commercial for them,
24:39
Speaker 1: it's paid placement and we don't generally do that. But
24:42
Speaker 1: if you want to talk about that, I'm Most ballpark
24:44
Speaker 1: names are dumb. The Dodgers have a stupid name. They
24:46
Speaker 1: attach to their stadium. But, hey, you make a lot
24:49
Speaker 1: of money. It's the way of the world. That's how
24:51
Speaker 1: it works. And you're just supposed to accept the bull crap.
24:54
Speaker 1: That's the way of the world. Accept the bull crap.
24:58
Speaker 1: Late Night Drug Tester says, no worries for the New
25:00
Speaker 1: York fans. They will forget about the Giants and look
25:03
Speaker 1: forward to the NFL draft. But the Knicks banner raising
25:07
Speaker 1: is less than a month away. Well, that's great. Yeah,
25:09
Speaker 1: the NBA season is like a month away. It just
25:12
Speaker 1: ended last Wednesday, and it's a month away. Ferg Ducks
25:15
Speaker 1: has been, how embarrassing is it for the Padres that
25:18
Speaker 1: they not only lost and got shut out by the Dodgers'
25:22
Speaker 1: arm barn game. It was a spring training game at
25:26
Speaker 1: Dodgers Stadium. They call that a spring training game when
25:28
Speaker 1: you just rotate a bunch of pitchers in. Do they
25:30
Speaker 1: actually go golfing at night like they do in spring training?
25:32
Speaker 1: I remember when I used to cover spring training, and
25:35
Speaker 1: the pitchers would love to pitch first because they'd get
25:38
Speaker 1: their work in, and then they'd be on the golf
25:40
Speaker 1: course and By the next inning, they'd run off. They
25:43
Speaker 1: didn't have to shower because they'd just get all sweaty
25:45
Speaker 1: on the golf course, and they'd run out there and golf.
25:47
Speaker 1: It would be great. I've heard Doug says the Padres
25:49
Speaker 1: are a clown franchise with a clown owner who can't sing.
25:54
Speaker 1: I know what you're trying to do. You're trying to
25:55
Speaker 1: upset our buddy in San Diego who worships at the
25:59
Speaker 1: altar of the Padres, and that's what he is. Brian
26:02
Speaker 1: says the Giants should go out and pluck Phillip Rivers
26:05
Speaker 1: from retirement. The NFL loves old-timers. Yes, they do. It's
26:10
Speaker 1: all about the old-timers. All right, let's go to the phones.
26:12
Speaker 1: We have some legends lined up here. Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
26:15
Speaker 1: Pick a caller by their name, and let's see here.
26:18
Speaker 1: Let's say hello to... J.J. in Renton. J.J. in Renton. J.J.,
26:27
Speaker 1: have you called up? Have you called up to apologize
26:30
Speaker 1: that my take on Sam?
26:32
Speaker 2: I'm not apologizing about nothing, man.
26:35
Speaker 1: You better apologize because my take has been validated. Sam
26:38
Speaker 1: Donald's a fraud. The Seahawks are 2-0 without Sam Donald.
26:42
Speaker 1: They don't need Sam Donald. Anybody could have played quarterback
26:45
Speaker 1: with that team. Hey, Coop, Coop, look at Drew Locke, bro.
26:50
Speaker 2: What?
26:50
Speaker 1: You're talking to me. What do you want? Why are
26:52
Speaker 1: you bringing Coop's name up? Look at him do what?
26:54
Speaker 5: What?
26:54
Speaker 3: How many touchdowns did JSN have.
26:57
Speaker 1: Last week? And?
27:06
Speaker 2: Okay, so he's not a legit quarterback?
27:09
Speaker 1: No, the whole point is it doesn't matter. Drew Locks, listen,
27:16
Speaker 1: the fact that Drew Locks statistically is the top quarterback
27:19
Speaker 1: in the NFL tells you all you need to know
27:21
Speaker 1: about statistics. It does. It's validation. Listen, it is validation. What?
27:27
Speaker 2: The Rams?
27:32
Speaker 1: No, the Rams, man, get out of here, man. You
27:34
Speaker 1: asked me the question. You asked me the question. I
27:37
Speaker 1: gave you the answer, but you didn't like the answer.
27:39
Speaker 1: I knew you were going to talk about the Rams.
27:42
Speaker 1: You asked me a question. What do you want me
27:44
Speaker 1: to say? The Rams are back as long as they
27:45
Speaker 1: don't play in Australia or New Zealand or somewhere like that.
27:48
Speaker 1: They're fine. You are super funny, man.
27:54
Speaker 2: That's why I love.
27:54
Speaker 1: You, man. We love you, J.J. You need to call
27:57
Speaker 1: more often, J.J. No, they're not garbage. They're not. You're
28:00
Speaker 1: just bitter and broken. Listen, just right now, say it.
28:04
Speaker 1: You were right, Ben. Sam Darnold, not all that great
28:07
Speaker 1: and not any real responsibility for Seattle winning last year.
28:10
Speaker 2: Man, we're keeping it quiet in Seattle, man.
28:13
Speaker 1: Well, these are your people. I don't know what you
28:15
Speaker 1: want me to do. These are your people.
28:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're keeping it quiet in Seattle right now. Okay.
28:19
Speaker 1: Don't worry about Sam Darnold.
28:21
Speaker 2: He'll be back when he gets back.
28:23
Speaker 3: Okay.
28:23
Speaker 1: All right. I got you. What's going on? I love you, man.
28:27
Speaker 1: All right, go away. Thank you. There is our buddy J.J.
28:29
Speaker 1: and Renton, one of the great characters. Met him at
28:31
Speaker 1: the Malheur meet and greet we did in Seattle right
28:34
Speaker 1: before the pandemic. We got that in right before the pandemic,
28:37
Speaker 1: and then the whole world shut down after that, and
28:39
Speaker 1: it was a lot of fun. It was great. Enjoyed
28:42
Speaker 1: the hell out of it. Let's see here. Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
28:46
Speaker 1: Let me do this. I mentioned this, and I've got
28:47
Speaker 1: to pay this off. So there's nothing quite like NFL Charity.
28:54
Speaker 1: Because no one loves to talk about their charity more
28:57
Speaker 1: than the NFL. It's the stupidest thing in the world.
29:01
Speaker 1: As many of us were raised properly, we know that
29:04
Speaker 1: true charity, you don't promote it. You just do it.
29:07
Speaker 1: You don't need to promote it because when you promote it,
29:09
Speaker 1: you cheapen the charity. I bring this up because Brown's
29:13
Speaker 1: backup quarterback, Shadur Sanders, big headlines here. Shadur Sanders gives
29:17
Speaker 1: away 500 backpacks with school supplies to youth students. It's
29:23
Speaker 1: on video. Of course it's on video. It was at
29:27
Speaker 1: a middle school in the Cleveland area. And so that
29:32
Speaker 1: was the big story there. They were treated to food,
29:35
Speaker 1: pizza and ice cream and all this stuff. And it's nice.
29:40
Speaker 1: to do it. It is cheapened because you have to
29:44
Speaker 1: send out a press release. And I learned this when
29:46
Speaker 1: I got into the media. I didn't know this before.
29:48
Speaker 1: I was naive like you probably are naive. The reason
29:52
Speaker 1: that these things end up on the local media is
29:55
Speaker 1: because the players, PR people, and the teams will send
29:59
Speaker 1: out press releases. And it was great. I remember years ago,
30:05
Speaker 1: and they'd be like, they'd do some Thanksgiving giveaways. like
30:09
Speaker 1: these NBA teams, and they'd say, okay, so we're going
30:13
Speaker 1: to give away turkeys from noon until 1230. So please
30:19
Speaker 1: arrive with your camera crew by 1130, and then we'll
30:24
Speaker 1: have you set up, and we'll have X number of players.
30:29
Speaker 1: They'll name the players who are going to be there. Okay,
30:31
Speaker 1: so from 12 to 1230, get some video, get some B-roll,
30:37
Speaker 1: And then we'll be done by 1230. It'll be a
30:41
Speaker 1: 30-minute thing, and then they'll be gone. 30 minutes, okay.
30:43
Speaker 1: So it's all planned out. It's all choreographed. And the
30:46
Speaker 1: reason they do it is because dumb people love that
30:47
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. They're like, oh, that's so great charity. Again,
30:50
Speaker 1: it cheapens the charity when you have to have the
30:53
Speaker 1: camera crew, the person with the boom mic, the makeup person,
30:58
Speaker 1: and all that. Let's go to Anthony in Louisiana, who
31:00
Speaker 1: has dodged operation after operation. And he is up next
31:04
Speaker 1: on the Ben Maller Show. Hello, Anthony. Welcome. Hey, Ben.
31:09
Speaker 2: Are you all right?
31:11
Speaker 1: Well, thanks for asking, Anthony. It's very kind of you.
31:13
Speaker 1: I do have your number now, so I feel better
31:15
Speaker 1: about that. I was bummed out. And I'm glad you
31:17
Speaker 1: didn't give out your number on there. It's very kind
31:19
Speaker 1: of you to update your phone number. And what are
31:22
Speaker 1: the chances that that medical procedure you need actually happens?
31:26
Speaker 1: Was it early October? Is that right?
31:28
Speaker 3: October the 1st.
31:30
Speaker 1: That's about as early October as it gets, October the 1st.
31:33
Speaker 1: That doesn't get any earlier in October than October the 1st,
31:35
Speaker 1: does it? You know my birthday? October the 19th. I
31:40
Speaker 1: did not know that. Lorena knew that because she's related
31:43
Speaker 1: to you. I'm not related to you.
31:44
Speaker 7: I actually have a really hard time remembering birthdays.
31:48
Speaker 1: Hey, cuz.
31:48
Speaker 3: What up, cuz?
31:49
Speaker 1: There's this thing called a phone. You can type them
31:52
Speaker 1: in there.
31:52
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't do that either.
31:53
Speaker 1: It's a calendar. It's good to hear from you, Lorena.
31:56
Speaker 1: You put names in there and then you check.
31:59
Speaker 7: I used to be really good at memorizing phone numbers.
32:03
Speaker 1: You had no choice. There was a time you had
32:04
Speaker 1: to remember... Phone numbers.
32:06
Speaker 7: Yeah, and I would be like, I got like 70 people's.
32:09
Speaker 1: Phone number remembered. Now you don't have to remember anyone's
32:12
Speaker 1: phone number. How's your daughter doing? She good.
32:16
Speaker 7: I sent her a picture of my pet spider yesterday.
32:19
Speaker 1: Your what?
32:20
Speaker 7: Pet spider.
32:21
Speaker 1: Oh, that's right. Pet spider. There you go. Is this
32:28
Speaker 1: a soundboard? Is that a soundboard? I feel like that's
32:30
Speaker 1: a soundboard. All right. Well, thank you, Anthony. Feel better.
32:33
Speaker 1: Go away. There's Anthony in Louisiana. Well, here's a blast
32:36
Speaker 1: from the past. Our friend, I think this is the
32:39
Speaker 1: same person, Kelly from Des Moines. Hello, Kelly. Welcome. Ben.
32:45
Speaker 1: It's been a minute. How are you? It has been
32:47
Speaker 1: a minute. Formerly known as Donut Kelly back in the day. Yes.
32:51
Speaker 1: No longer Donuts. I am now managing a steakburger and
32:56
Speaker 1: custard restaurant. So you're Steakburger Kelly or Custard Kelly? No.
33:03
Speaker 1: I like Custard Kelly. Custard Kelly thrown around.
33:06
Speaker 2: I'm okay with that.
33:07
Speaker 1: Custard Kelly. Okay. Delicious custard. Yum, yum.
33:10
Speaker 4: We'll go with that.
33:11
Speaker 1: Okay. Sounds very good. Well, welcome back, Kelly.
33:14
Speaker 6: Thank you.
33:15
Speaker 5: Yes.
33:15
Speaker 1: Yeah. So, I mean, how has Ryan Tannehill not been
33:19
Speaker 1: thrown around in this random quarterback conversation? Because he's Ryan Tannehill?
33:24
Speaker 1: Could that be why? Could that possibly be why? I'd
33:28
Speaker 1: also like to piggyback off of JJ, though.
33:32
Speaker 2: Here's the problem.
33:34
Speaker 3: You're missing the point. The Seahawks are this good without
33:38
Speaker 3: Sam Darnold.
33:38
Speaker 1: That means we're that good. No, you're no better with
33:42
Speaker 1: Sam Donald because Sam Donald's not good. So it doesn't
33:44
Speaker 1: matter whether Sam Donald plays or not. He's not that good. No,
33:47
Speaker 1: I mean, here's the thing.
33:48
Speaker 3: We don't even have starting running backs or anything.
33:50
Speaker 4: We're still just going to be 3-0 without any of
33:54
Speaker 4: these starters.
33:55
Speaker 1: And then... Well, reality will catch up to you at
33:59
Speaker 1: some point. That's fine. You're peaking too soon. The good
34:04
Speaker 1: news is the Rams are not peaking too soon. They
34:07
Speaker 1: have guys that Miles Garrett's going to miss probably half
34:10
Speaker 1: the season. Then he'll come in there and play Pukunuku.
34:13
Speaker 1: Just missed a game. Rams are so good. They just
34:16
Speaker 1: won without their top two players.
34:17
Speaker 7: You're really packing someone as amazing as a gentleman as
34:21
Speaker 7: Pukunuku is.
34:22
Speaker 1: Well, if you graded NFL players on their morality, you
34:25
Speaker 1: wouldn't watch the NFL, would you? Didn't the Seattle Seahawks
34:29
Speaker 1: just sign a guy who's facing life in prison?
34:31
Speaker 3: Okay. Okay. That's a good point.
34:33
Speaker 1: Okay. I'm just, you know, Hey, I'm just saying, you know,
34:35
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's a clean, clean up your
34:38
Speaker 1: own closet before you start ripping my closet.
34:40
Speaker 3: Yeah.
34:40
Speaker 2: Well, you know, yeah, that's a good point.
34:44
Speaker 1: And listen, Pook is like part vampire or something like that,
34:47
Speaker 1: I guess. Is he?
34:48
Speaker 5: Apparently.
34:49
Speaker 1: Well, based on what I saw on TMZ, he's like
34:52
Speaker 1: a vampire. He likes to bite and blood, I think. Okay,
34:55
Speaker 1: I do have a question for you, though, because we
34:57
Speaker 1: have had many food debates in the past. My brother
35:00
Speaker 1: just had.
35:01
Speaker 7: A conversation the other day where he said that trail
35:04
Speaker 7: mix can.
35:04
Speaker 1: Be a dessert. Uh, no, that's a bad take, but
35:09
Speaker 1: I will tell, uh, this and I feel strongly I'm
35:12
Speaker 1: in the anti raisin category when it comes to trail mix.
35:15
Speaker 1: I feel like the raisin, you know how you, you
35:18
Speaker 1: order like a breakfast burrito and they'll fill it with
35:20
Speaker 1: rice cause it's cheap and they, they don't want to
35:22
Speaker 1: put too much meat in there. Well, I feel like
35:24
Speaker 1: the raisin is the equivalent of that in trail mix
35:27
Speaker 1: that they'll put too much raisin in there. And they
35:29
Speaker 1: won't put enough of the other good stuff in there.
35:31
Speaker 1: And it's a big problem in the trail mix community.
35:34
Speaker 1: So I would like to push back against big trail
35:37
Speaker 1: mix and have no raisins. Forget a few raisins. I
35:41
Speaker 1: want no raisins in my trail mix. It's a bad take.
35:43
Speaker 1: It's a great take. It's a wonderful take. It's my
35:45
Speaker 1: best take of the day.
35:46
Speaker 3: Where's the sweetness coming from?
35:48
Speaker 1: Because you put a little chocolate in there. That's the sweetness. Boom. Done. Chocolate.
35:52
Speaker 3: You need some like... Good, healthy sweetness.
35:55
Speaker 1: No, you don't.
35:56
Speaker 7: That's what the peanuts are for.
35:57
Speaker 1: No, you don't. You have a fatal illness, Coop. It's
36:00
Speaker 1: called life. You're not getting out alive. You might as
36:01
Speaker 1: well enjoy it. Just saying.
36:04
Speaker 3: Well, if you're going to take that, you know, train
36:06
Speaker 3: of thought, then you shouldn't be having trail mix at all.
36:08
Speaker 3: That's a fine position.
36:09
Speaker 1: Okay. If you want to go anti. But I do
36:12
Speaker 1: like some trail mixes. A lot of, you know, the
36:14
Speaker 1: nuts in there, different kinds of the nuts and the
36:16
Speaker 1: little chocolate and whatnot.
36:17
Speaker 7: Yeah, I like a variety of nuts myself.
36:20
Speaker 3: The one from Costco with the white chocolate chips and
36:23
Speaker 3: the blueberries.
36:24
Speaker 1: Yes. There's one they have at Target that has these
36:27
Speaker 1: little caramel balls in it. Those are pretty good. Oh, okay.
36:31
Speaker 1: It's called... Cashew something. I don't know.
36:34
Speaker 3: Cashew is one of my favorite nuts.
36:36
Speaker 2: Yeah.
36:37
Speaker 1: Do you see how hard it is to produce cashews?
36:40
Speaker 2: Yes.
36:40
Speaker 1: Yeah. Very difficult to make cashews.
36:42
Speaker 7: No, I do not.
36:43
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
36:43
Speaker 3: Yeah.
36:43
Speaker 1: Cashews. They come in this like green thing. It's about
36:46
Speaker 1: this big. You can't see because we're on radio, but
36:48
Speaker 1: it's big. And then only one cashew before each for
36:52
Speaker 1: each thing. Really? Yeah.
36:53
Speaker 7: I'm going to have to look this up.
36:55
Speaker 1: Yeah.
36:55
Speaker 3: It's also almonds take like an insane amount of water
37:00
Speaker 3: to grow cashews.
37:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I hear that all the time. People complain
37:03
Speaker 1: about the water in California. All right, well, Kelly, I'm
37:06
Speaker 1: glad you're back. Custard Kelly.

37:25
Speaker 1: John Dutton says, Anthony in Louisiana for caller of the year.
37:29
Speaker 1: Hoosier Bill says, Anthony, greatest call ever. You guys are
37:33

37:38
Speaker 1: Come on. Fergdog says, can you guys please stop talking
37:41
Speaker 1: over Anthony? He's trying to get his five lines in,
37:44
Speaker 1: but you guys keep talking over. I have noticed that
37:49

37:52
Speaker 1: sense of humor, Lorena? You got a great sense of humor.
37:57
Speaker 7: He just notices my great sense of humor.
38:00
Speaker 1: It's similar to news conferences with coaches. When they say
38:04
Speaker 1: nothing funny and all the nerdy media people, the sports writers,
38:08
Speaker 1: laugh hysterically at the coaches. It's great. Time now for
38:11
