• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Broncos coach Sean Payton. Some 12s are saying, well, this
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: is a great apology. Really, a great apology. Was it
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: an error in judgment by TV talking head pretty boy
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Graham Benzinger to include the clip of Seahawks coach Mike McDonald?
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: It's believed to be the first interesting thing ever to
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: pop up on that show, and yet he says it
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: was an error in judgment. And Cardinals wide receiver Marvin
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Harrison Jr. didn't seem to be worried about the people
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: mocking his lazy play. How does that sound to you?
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: We'll get to all of that and more right now.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Here we go, Geronimo. It's our number one. Well, it
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: is not not sleepless in Seattle. It's sorry in Seattle.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Welcome in the beginning of another night of the Ben
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Maller Show. We are in the air everywhere. mixing and
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: mingling as we get up close and personal coast to
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: coast border to border and beyond on the vast and
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: famously powerful microphones of fsr emanating live from the elephant
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: now how do you eat an elephant you know how
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: to eat an elephant Well, it doesn't taste good, but
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: you eat it one bite at a time. Guaranteed human
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: from the world-famous Fox Sports Radio studios where legends like
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Fluffy Dave and Tom the Terrible and Scott in Rhode
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Island and so many others. including the Holy Trinity of
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: the upper echelon of the Malheur Militia, Alf, Fergdog, and
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Malheur Prop Guy, all demand that we feed the industrial
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: complex of the hot take, and that is our plan here.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: From soup to nuts, we are going to get her done.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: And our lead this hour is from the Pacific Northwest,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: another championship team caught up in a scandal incident This
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: is really embarrassing. A lot of sadness around what has
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: happened to the reigning Super Bowl champions who have been
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: caught in a pretty bad situation. Pretty bad situation. So
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: if you've not heard, perhaps not, in shame, in shame,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks coach Mike McDonald has apologized. A public apology.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: The Seahawks haven't even played three games, and already their
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: head coach has been forced to apologize. Mike McDonald embarrassing
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: the franchise, sullying, sullying everything they've done, forced to apologize
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: to Broncos coach Sean Payton. Why? Why? Because of a
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: private comment that wasn't private about the 2024 Cold War,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: which surfaced publicly. Now, Peyton, the Broncos coach, accepted the
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: shameful apology by the Seattle Seahawks head coach, saying, he
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: and I are good, but do we really believe that?
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Do we really believe that? Now, McDonald said he never
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: intended the comments made on a TV show to be
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: for public use. You can't make this up. You cannot
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: make this up. He said it on a TV show.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: These guys just lie to your face. It is so great,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: these NFL coaches. God love them. Paid liars. You got
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: the guy in Arizona. We'll talk about this in a
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: bit here. Marvin Harrison Jr. just sitting on a lazy
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: boy during the game, and the coach is like, he
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: just has a different running style. And somebody, I don't
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: know who did it, somebody online said, put the comments
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: of the fool, the coach of the Cardinals, the guy
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: that's the brother of the other coach of the Packers,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: and behind it is Harrison. La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: You had the coach of the Washington, what used to
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: be called the Redskins, say that, well, it looked like
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: the players don't like Jaden Daniels, but that's not the case,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: even though there's video of them walking away from him
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: while he's hurt. And now you've got this situation, Mike McDonald,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: the coach in Seattle, who made comments on a TV show,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: did not think they were for public use. He said,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: I fell short in the moment. It's something I'm definitely
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: going to learn from. Okay. Now, the original dispute began
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: after Seattle apparently studied about 100 different social media posts
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: by Bronco fans during training camp there that were publicly
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: posted on the various platforms. TikTok, Instagram, and all that
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: crap that you people seem to love. And the Broncos,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: they've apologized. They've not apologized. They've accepted the apology of
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks. Now, the Seahawks backers, this is the
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: part of the story which is interesting to me. So
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks backers have now decided that the Mike McDonald
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: apology is worthy of praise. That this was like the
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: classiest apology you could possibly have. So that is a
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question. Does
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Seahawks coach Mike McDonald deserve to be celebrated for apologizing
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: publicly to the Broncos' Sean Payton? So I've got... 7-Eleven,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: we've got Star Kiss Tuna and an Amazon Prime order.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: And we will combine all of these together and we'll
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: give you The razzle-dazzle. We're going to give you the razzle-dazzle. So, A,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Seattle as a franchise has gone from back in the
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: old days, they were the Legion of Boom. Legion of Boom. Oh, man,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: that defense was great. They've now morphed into the Legion
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: of Broom, as in let's sweep up this little quagmire
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: for Mike McDonald. The latest mistake will get the broom out,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: the Legion of Broom, and sweep that under the rug.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: So you might want to grab some bounty paper towels
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: here because there's a lot of brown nosers in the
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Pacific Northwest right now. My God, I'm going to get
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: a whole roll of those paper towels for my friend Nostradinus.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: A whole roll for my buddy Nostradinus. Enough with the
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Slurp Fest, okay? The 12th, you all must work at 7-Eleven.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: You're handing Mike McDonald free Slurpees all week. Slurpee, Slurpee, Slurpee!
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: In fact.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: At this point, I'm convinced it's like a cult. Mike
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: McDonald could steal J.J. and Renton's Toyota Camry, and the
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: 12s would praise Mike McDonald and say that he is
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: committed to reducing carbon emissions. And that's why he did it,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: to save the carbon footprint. As far as the apology...
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: One word, corporate, corporate controversy arrives. A statement follows and
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: everybody announces personal growth and we'll move on and all that.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Mike McDonald did not find some kind of religion. He
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: found a crisis management handbook and went to page seven.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: And then that's what you do. He finally learned an
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: NFL lesson, which most ragamuffins do not need to be taught. Apparently,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: he's not the brightest coach around because he didn't know this.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: If there's a camera and a microphone in the room
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: and you're doing an interview, there's no such thing as
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: private dum-dum. My God. So stop the slurp fest. Just
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: stop the slurp fest. Now, meanwhile, another part of this
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: story which is fascinating to me is on the TV side.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: So there's this guy, Graham Benzinger, who I actually have
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: a bit of a past with years ago when I
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: was doing my websites. And I've never met him, but
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: our lives crossed paths years ago. So Graham does this
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: late-night TV thing, and he came out with this statement.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: It was on his show, which no one ever watches,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: but he says he regrets airing the viral Mike McDonald clip,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: called it, quote, error in judgment is what he called it,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: an error in judgment, because the Seahawks coach believed the
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: conversation was private. Bullcrap. However, Benzinger says the entire interview,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: here's the key part. So Benzinger claims the entire interview,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: including the exchange which has blown up here, was sent
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: to the Seattle Seahawks PR department five days before publication.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: And not a single man or woman, or child for
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: that matter, in the PR department in Seattle ever requested
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: the removal of any part So the question, was this a, quote,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: error in judgment by the TV talking head pretty boy
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Graham Benzinger to include the clip of the Seahawks coach
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Mike McDonald? So I give this whole thing a that
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: side stink eye. This Benzinger guy says he sent the
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: entire thing to the Seahawks PR department before publishing it.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: which makes him look bad. It makes the Seahawks look bad.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: It makes him look worse. That tells you every interview
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: he does is vetted by the communist government of whoever
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: he's interviewing. Like, why would you admit that? Listen, apparently
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: somebody in Seattle got lazy and they didn't do their
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: job and whatever. But they had five days to object,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: and the challenge flag stayed in the pockets. in the
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Pacific Northwest. And so if you're the TV person, that's
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: not your problem. You cannot advertise a show that is
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: about candid conversations and then panic when somebody gets candid.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: That's not how any of this works. Now, from what
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: I've heard, I don't have any inside information. People have
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: told me that that show is just paid programming, that
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: they buy time on these different channels, and that's how
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: the show gets broadcast. gets cleared, which is one way
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: to do TV. It's an outdated model, but good for
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: them if they have that kind of money to buy
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: time to deliver this schmaltzy softball hero worship, which is
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: not for me. Now, you might like it. A lot
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: of you apparently like that stuff. You've been raised with that.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: I wasn't raised with that stuff, so for me... Makes
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: me want to puke in my mouth. It's disgusting. But
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: a lot of you love that. That's what you know.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: You want your fanboys is what you want. But this
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: clip in particular went viral because it possessed the rarest
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: commodity that we get in sports interviews today. You know
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: what that is? What commodity? Yeah, exactly. Something genuinely actually interesting.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: This show finally had an interview that required no pharmaceutical
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: assistance to stay awake to watch it. So, of course,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: they finally get something good, and the guy that hosts
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: the show, this guy Graham Benzinger, he finally catches a
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: star-kissed tuna, and instead of getting your usual bucket of minnows,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: and now he's apologizing to the tuna. I'm sorry, tuna.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: I shouldn't have caught you. Like, what are we doing here?
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: You caught lightning in a bottle and you called the
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: electrician and said, we got a problem here. Seriously. All right. Meanwhile,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: speaking of problems, we go to the Valley of the Sun,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: better known as the Valley of the Lazy. That is
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: where you will find Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr.,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: likely in a lazy boy chair. Now, he was interviewed
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: following the amazing hustle that he showed. The other day.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: So Harrison says he hears the criticism surrounding what has
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: been a dreadful start. He's got one catch so far.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: This is supposed to be the breakout year three. Everything
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: comes together. But he says he is trying to, quote,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: block out the noise, close quote, and focus on his
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: responsibilities rather than social media. Things like that or, you know, statistics.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: He said, quote, I see everything. And everybody's entitled to
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: their own opinions. Well, that's good. Thank you. Thank you
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: for that. Harrison said, I am going to continue, quote continues,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I'm going to continue to worry about my team and
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: my process and helping the team win the best we can.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Harrison's effort has been called out by anyone who paid
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: attention here, particularly on the plays where it looked like
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: he was coasting along on a Sunday drive and Well,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: that doesn't look very good. You know, there's a camera
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: on you at all times. So the question on this one,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: you've got Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., who didn't
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: seem to be worried about the people mocking his lazy performance.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: So how does that sound to you? How does that
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: sound to you? Well, this guy's emotional temperature, Marvin Harrison Jr.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: 's emotional temperature is similar to, Going into a waiting
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: room at a doctor's office and getting the temperature in
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: the aquarium. It's very similar. Very, very similar there. And
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: I know there's not a lot of Cardinal fans. I
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: know there's not a lot. We're on in the Valley
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: of the Sun there. But the Cardinal fans don't need
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison Jr. to block out the noise. They need
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: him to actually make some noise, preferably on Sunday. That
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: would be good. Instead, he sounds like a guy, Marvin
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Harrison Jr., discussing a delayed Amazon prime order. Not, not
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: his own disappearing act. It just, come on now. like
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: your struggling supposedly star-wide receiver to sound mildly inconvenienced by
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: being invisible and embarrassing himself. So just tell me. Say, hey,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: I'm embarrassed. Tell me you're pissed. Give me something. Just
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: give me something there. If people are questioning my effort— this
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: is just me. I don't know how you would operate,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: but if people are questioning my effort— I'm not saying, hey,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: they're entitled to their opinion. I'm telling them they're wrong
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: and I will prove it to you that you're wrong.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: And I will get that done here. X, Y and Z.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm going to do. And Harrison sounded more
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: philosophical rather than any kind of anger. There was a
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: lot of anger there. And really all Harrison, Marvin Harrison Jr.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: needed was two sentences. He can hire me if he
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: wants as a PR agent. consultant we can activate the
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: mallet think tank but there's only really two sentences that
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: marvin harrison jr needed the one sentence was i haven't
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: been good enough see that's the sound i've been good
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: enough and the other sentence is that changes now boom
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: put those together put a little pepper on top of
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: that and then you're good that's it so if this
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Performance continues. Harrison, you talk about guys that are not
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: long for their teams, and it's one of those players.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: He will find another opportunity because of the genetics. His
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: dad was a Hall of Fame receiver and all that.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: And they say, well, you know, he'll figure it out.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: But he just doesn't seem to have the alpha. He's
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: not an alpha. You got to kind of have to
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: have that, right? Don't you? Don't you think you have
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: to have a little bit of that? All right. If
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: his game matched his serenity, a lot of serenity with
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison. He came from a family. His dad made
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: a lot of money playing in the NFL, so the
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: family had money. The dad didn't have money, and there's
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: a lot of amazing stories on the Internet about what
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: that led Marvin Harrison, the dad, to do. The kid
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: had money, so he's very serene. There's serenity. And if
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: his performance on Sundays matched the serenity that he shows...
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison Jr. would be Jerry Rice with a meditation app. Unfortunately,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: that is not the reality of the situation. It is
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: the Ben Maller Show. We are just beginning the soiree,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: the hootenanny, from the speakeasy here at the magical radio box,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: which is Fox Sports Radio. And if you would like
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: to support this show, you can just listen. That's it.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: You don't have to participate. However... If you are so inclined,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: if you think that your opinion is so important that
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: other human beings and goblins want to hear what you
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: have to say, you can call us up here and
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: be part of the fun at 877-99-ON-FOX. That's 877-996-6369. Also
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: on X, at Ben Maller. That's at Ben Maller, if
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: you'd like to be part of the program. So a
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: couple of notes here for you, because I know we
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: love notes. If you look at the big board here,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: not a list. It's more of a menu. It's more
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: of a menu of what's coming up on the overnight show.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: So later this hour, we'll have the Who Am I game.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Next hour, no Maller to the third degree, because we'll handicap.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Instead of Maller to the third degree, we're going to
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: handicap Benny versus the Penny game. And what an epic
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Thursday night game we have. You throw out the records
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: when the Packers and Falcons get together because if you
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: looked at the records, you wouldn't want to watch. And
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: so we'll break that game down. Atlanta, there's one thing
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: the American people need is Atlanta Falcons in prime time
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: on an island game. And so we'll break that game down.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Also have the Insta trivia. We've got the riddle of
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: the day. It's an Ask Ben kind of a Thursday.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: It's our Thursday show, still late Wednesday in the West.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: So we'll have a lot of Ask Ben. We've got
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Fact or Fiction. That'll be coming up down the pike
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: as well. So that's all ahead, and you'll probably be
• 18:48

  Speaker 4: Hi, I'm Bill Parcells.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: And I'm Catherine Zazzora.
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: I have a lot of experience in the game of football, Catherine.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: And I'm learning the game with Bill's help. Every week,
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: we're going to talk about the NFL slate through the
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: lens of Bill's expertise as he coaches me from novice
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: fan to football expert over the course of the season.
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: You know, I'm looking forward to this show, Catherine, and
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: hopefully we can give our audience a little in-depth look

  Speaker 2: Tune in every Thursday for unfiltered stories from Coach Parcells,
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: analysis on the state of.
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: The Continuity is very important. But what happens when you
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: get good coaches on your staff and people begin to
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: recognize them, then they want to hire them. And then
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: you can't stop a guy from trying to improve himself,
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: but you have to replace them.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: Because once you understand what's going on inside the mind
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: of the coaches, you'll understand more about the whole game.
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: So all aspects can be discussed. The only thing I
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: haven't done, because I didn't have enough money, I don't

  Speaker 4: own the team. I never owned a team.

  Speaker 1: court of sports, please act accordingly. Nostradinus, wearing his Seattle
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Seahawks onesie, writes in. He says, did a spot open
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: up on the view? Ben's Seahawks propaganda sounded like an audition.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: That's from Nostradinus, who may or may not be getting
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: money under the table from some people in the Seahawks organization.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: That has been unconfirmed. Not a Burner writes in, says,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: when asked to comment on the story of the Seahawks owner,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Coleslaw requested that fans do not make the trade for
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: extra Canes toast. No, no. Anyone that's ever been to
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Canes knows you get rid of the Coleslaw and you
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: get extra fries. You don't need the extra toast. You
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: get the extra fries. Sometimes they short you on the
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: fries because the people are lazy. It's a bad job
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: by them. Bad job by them. Fergdog writes in from
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: the winter wonderland of Fullerton. He says, programming update. If
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: you're planning to listen to Dan Patrick in the next week, don't.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Dan's in L.A. being covered up by Steve Sachs and
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Tim Cates. Playoff Dodger coverage. Well, good for Tim Cates.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Good for him. And Steve Sachs, who's an Oakland A's broadcaster,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: but I guess he'd be doing some Dodger stuff, so
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: good for him. He's on the A's broadcast, but nobody
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: knows that, because who the hell's watching the Sacramento A's? Nobody.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Andy in Lionel Lakes, Minnesota, writes in. He says, when
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: not too long ago he was involved in the Bounty
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Gate scandal. I guess what comes around goes around. I'll
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: just stay tuned for this soap opera called The NFL. Absolutely.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Spock's Weed checks in on the Oregon Trail, and he says,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: I must admit I was confused by the Mallard monologue.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: He talked about Mike McDonald saying stuff on camera but
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: didn't report what he actually said. I didn't know this
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: would be a test to publish a syllabus online. Next time. Well,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: I know you've smoked a lot of weed there, and
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: your mind is gone, Spock's weed. I get that. So
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: you don't know, but it's pretty obvious if you've been
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: paying attention here that it was about, I said, I
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: swear I said he was over videos. I said it.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Go to the ear duct. Go to Costco when they
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: open up. They have an ear thing. Get a hearing aid.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: My God. I said it was over hundreds of social
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: media videos that the Seahawks used to get ready for
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: a game a couple years ago. Do I need to
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: tell it to you like you're five years old? Is
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: that what I need to do? My God. Mark the
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Walker also says, Malamusha, I have been otherwise engaged, and
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: he's ranting about the bills. Get up to speed. Are
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: we allowing the bennies? Something about the bennies. The bennies,
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: we don't have to worry about the bennies until next year.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Manager Chip writes in. This is one of those fake accounts.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: and says, biggest fanboy you have, Maller, is Fergdog, and
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: you love the ass kiss, and that's not true at all.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: In fact, if you knew what happens behind the scenes,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: and a lot of people don't, a lot of people
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: don't know how we make the sausage here, the amount
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: of criticism that I get from Fergdog and Alf and
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: Maller prop guy, nobody holds me more accountable than these guys.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: We have a table read in the afternoon. If you're
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: a Malar X subscriber, you know that we have a
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: table read and we go over the show. And if
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: the lines don't hit, Ferg Dogg will literally take a
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: 2x4 that he bought at Home Depot and will slap
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: me across the head. The very top of the head,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: he'll slap me. And then Alf will come over and
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: he'll do the Three Stooges eye poke. He'll do the
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: three stooges I poke. And Maller, prop guy, now he says,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: I can't play any video games. I can't play my
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: Scrabble game on my phone or anything like that. So
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: it's very wild what goes on here. It's wild and crazy.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: Absolutely correct. Now you can join the conversation here on
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: X at Ben Maller. That's at Ben Maller. If you'd
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: like to be part, we will take some calls here.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: Let's go to the phones. And here's a guy that
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: doesn't call very often. Well, he's back. He's got the voice.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Nick in Berkeley. Hello, Nick in Berkeley. Welcome. You're on
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: the Ben Maller Show.
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: Welcome. Ben, my man, Lorena's Coop. What's up? Hey, check
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: it out. So I didn't want to front run, Ben, but, like, man,
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: last season it killed me. We beat the Eagles. We
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: lose Kittles. I knew we'd get in the Seahawks and
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: win the Super Bowl on our home field. Man, I
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: don't even know how we're going to get that back.
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: And then the Dodger player, you know, deputizes the Toronto
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: outfielder to be a– you know, the outfielder deputizes the
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: Dodger player to be a– I'm fired. Because, like, I mean, dude,
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: how do you stop running if you're the Toronto guy?
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying? Like, what are you doing, bro? Like,
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: you just kept running. Like, so what if he throws
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: his hands up? You should have ran all the way home.
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: I'm like, that killed me, too. And then my Warriors, man,
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: we lose Jimmy Bucket. And it was just a downward
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: spiral blow. And then I found out my blood– shout
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: out to all people in the Malibu militia, man. Everybody
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: check your blood pressure because mine was like 195 over 125.
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: And for a minute– it's down now to normal, but
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: I'm trying to set new records for human blood pressure, man.
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: I mean, you know, I haven't been in the doctor
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: for a long time. But I'm back now, man. And
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: I just want to say– I just want to say that–
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: We're America's team now, Ben. I did the math. I
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: did the math. In 49 years, by mathematics, we're taking
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: over stadiums, and we are America's team. Jerry Jones don't
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: even call his team America's team no more because he
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: already knows. I just want to know what you think, Ben.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Well, that's tremendous propaganda. Did your blood pressure went up
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: because of sports? Did the doctors say, don't watch sports,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: do not watch either that or all the fried foods
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: you're eating?
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: No, no, no. Ben, well, it was Ben. I'm a 5'7.
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: I was at 194. He's out at 150 now. I
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: was smoking a pack of cigarettes, like, every three days.
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: I quit smoking cigarettes, and I'm back, bro. Like, I'm
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: at 180, man, so I'm good. My daughter was furious.
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: All right, all right.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Well, you got to take care of that.
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: I just want to say, Lorena, about that cockroach, man,
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: that cockroach just killed me, too. I'm like, man, if
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: I see what I run from, it's like, oh, my God, dude.
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: It's like, burn your car and all your clothes. Don't
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: even risk it. You know what I'm saying? I'm glad
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: you understand.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: Well, you'd love to come. Nick, if you ever visit
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: our building here, we have, there's an area, we call
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: it the dead zone. It's the, they go to die.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: The cockroaches go over there. We found like seven in
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: that area. Like, that's crazy. Yeah, they kill, for some reason,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: there's this one area, there must be like some kind
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: of a hole in the ozone layer or something like that.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: And the cockroaches go over there when they want to die,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: and then they lay on their back, and they're like, okay,
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: I'm dead. Here we go. And you think they're playing dead,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: but they're not playing. They're not playing. They just lay
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: on their back, and that's it.
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: My dad, when he was in the Air Force, he
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: said that one time he was at some base somewhere,
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: and he saw some cockroaches come out in the middle
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: of the night. They were, like, glowing and shit. He
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: was like, oh, my God. Like, they're, like, indestructible. Yeah,
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: they're indestructible, bro. I'm telling you, I stepped on one
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: one time, and it crunched. He just popped back into
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: shape and ran off. I was, like, about eight years old.
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: And ever since then, I was like, oh, no. Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: I'm happy you're back, and you're back with your 49er propaganda.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: Enjoy this. They're already getting hurt. Your guys are already
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: getting hurt. They're all old, the old geezers. So enjoy
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: it until they start getting hurt, and then that's it.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: All right. There's Nick, our buddy in Berkeley who's been
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: with the show a long time. We love Nick. I
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: wondered what happened to him. These guys stopped calling. Oftentimes
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: we have no way of getting a hold of them,
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: so we don't know what happens. I have a question. Yes,
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: Lorena would like to ask a question. Yes, Lorena on
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: line two. Hello, Lorena. Now, Nick said that he used
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: Malheur math.
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: And I'm just curious, is it Malheur Math if Malheur's
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: not mathing it?
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, Malheur Math is a course I taught. It's
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: part of Malheur X. You know how they have TED Talks? Oh, okay. Well,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: they have TED Talks. It's like that. On Malheur X,
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: if you subscribe, I do Malheur Talks. And it's similar
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: to TED Talks, but it's my spin, how to do
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Malheur Math, how to never get a take wrong. Always
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: win the take battle. Always win the take battle. And
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: why dumb people keep you employed as a talk show host.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: That's good content.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: That's good.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes. That every click is another couple of
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: cents by the click. So it's very, very encouraging. And
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: they don't even realize it. They're so obtuse, Lorena. You
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: know what the word obtuse means? They're so obtuse that
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: they don't even realize. Obtuse, rubber goose, green goose, guava juice. Exactly.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: Or something close to that. They don't even realize what's
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: going on. They're hornswoggled by the situation. I did want
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: to spend a couple of minutes changing gears here. I'm
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: going to now put on my serious hat. I am
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: going to put on. My serious hat. Now, some of
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: you who are stalkers, some of you who are stalkers,
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: you know my past and how I've worked at a
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: few Fox Sports Radio most of my adult life. But
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: before that, I had many random jobs and radio and
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: bounced around the dial. And I spent a lot of
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: my 20s, pretty much my entire 20s, most of my
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: 30s at sporting events. I was a radio reporter, but
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: I had no life. Women kept me at an arm's length,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: so I didn't really have anyone to hang out with,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: so I just went to games. I did that for
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: a long time, probably 20-something years, at games all the time,
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: and befriended a few people. One of the people I befriended,
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: I got the news a few hours ago that he
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: has left this mortal coil. His name is Lawrence Tanter.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: He was the longtime public address announcer of the Los
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: Angeles Lakers, and he has died at age 76. I
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: befriended Lawrence Tantor way back when the Lakers were still
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: playing at the Forum in Inglewood, and we bonded over radio.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: While Lawrence Tantor is known and will forever be known
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: as the public address announcer of the Los Angeles Lakers,
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: he was there for He had a brief break, but
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: he was there for over 40 years, the longest tenure
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: for a PA announcer in that franchise's history. But he
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: was a radio guy, and we bonded over radio. And Lawrence,
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: I was excited because he would listen to the show sometimes.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: He didn't listen all the time, but he would bring
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: things up I'd talk about. And he knew I busted
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: the Lakers' balls all the time, and he didn't care.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: He was like, whatever, you've got a job to do.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: That's fine, which was great. But he was behind the
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: microphone for the glory days of the Showtime Lakers, a
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: lot of that in the 80s and the Kobe and
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: Shaq era. was friends with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, a bunch of
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: the guys. And he had that smooth DJ voice. And
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: he was actually a program director at, there was a
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: jazz radio station. I think it's long gone now in LA,
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: but there was a jazz radio station. So I'd run
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: into him because I was at the games all the time.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: And he'd listen, he'd give me some line about something
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: I said on the radio, some dopey thing I said.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: And then I'd ask him about being the program director
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: at the station. We'd complain about radio. That's what we do.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: That's what radio people do. We complain about radio. So
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: I was sad, obviously, to hear his passing. I have
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: not been out there as much in recent years, actually
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: since the pandemic. I've been cut back on that a lot.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: But rest in peace to Lawrence Tanter, a nice man,
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: kind to me over the years, and just really good
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: at his job. And I'll do a bigger tribute probably
