• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Chub-a-lub-lub. It's our number two and a bada-bing for you
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: here in our number two. We start out with the
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: reigning champs who played like chumps, losing to a backup quarterback.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Why should anybody believe Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold has actually
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: changed as he had a couple of back-breaking mistakes yesterday?
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: In that game, it cost Seattle a win. And the
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Chargers lose again as coach Jim Harbaugh's loyalty to offensive
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: coordinator Mike McDaniel becoming a liability. And now that the
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Raiders are 3-0, are we now impressed with the Raiders?
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Are we? As the Raiders get another win, and are
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: we impressed with Kirk Cousins and company? We'll take a
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: look at that. And who knows what else? We also
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: have Mallard to the third degree. That'll be coming your
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: way right about now in hour number two. On top
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: of the world after the Super Bowl, a reality check
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: for the Seabirds. Who goofed? I've got to know. Welcome
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Maler Show.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: We are in the air everywhere using our pitchforks. As
• 1:23

• 2:55
  Speaker 1: at it. We broke down the Sunday night game last hour.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: The NFL referees helping out the Denver Broncos as they
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: get the gift there late. Some NBA-level flopping by Denver,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: and I guess that's allowed in the NFL as the
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: referees gave Denver a key call late in that game.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: We're going to move away from that and our lead
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: this hour from just outside the Beltway In our nation's capital,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: unless you're in Canada or Mexico, then it's not your
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: nation's capital. But Washington, stunning. Seattle, remember, I'm old enough
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: to remember when the Seahawks were the class of the NFL.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Now they're just the ass of the NFL. Washington, stunning.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: The once-proud Seahawks, 33-31. And the reigning Super Bowl champions,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: thanks to some help from the referees, the 12-game winning
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: streak is kaput. They might not win a game again.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: The Seahawks might not win a game again. They are
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: now 2-1. They are reeling. They have just completely fallen apart.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: The Seahawks did something that many felt was impossible. They
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: lost a game to Marcus Mariota.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: What?
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Yes!
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: I know! A lot of people going to bed. Even
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Sasquatch has gone to bed early here in Seattle, so
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: upset by what happened. But Seattle losing to Marcus Mariota,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: filling in for the injured Jaden Daniels. He had three
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: touchdowns as Washington gets their first win of the year.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: And the once-proud Seahawks have to wear that on the chin.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Seattle committed not one, not two, but three touchdowns. Self-inflicted wounds,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: three turnovers, including El Clasico from Sam Darnold. That is
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the Sam Darnold we know and love. That is our
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Sam Darnold right there. The killer came late when somebody
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: named Kane Medrano returned a Sam Darnold interception 50 yards
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: for a touchdown, giving Washington a nine-point lead. They would
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: end up winning by two. as they were a big
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: underdog over a touchdown dog at home. So that is
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: a good jumping-off point. Let us discuss the question. Why
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: should anybody believe Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold has actually changed?
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: That's the question. So I've got factory settings, the Little Mermaid,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: and Salvation Army. And we'll combine all of these things together,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: and we'll give you the ABCs. and the one, two, threes.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: So we always start with number one. Number one. One, one, one, one, one.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: Number one.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Now some of you were fooled, and you can wear
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: the dunce cap. I tried to tell you. You wouldn't listen.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Bad job by you. Bad job by you. For a
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: minute there, you thought that Seattle had cracked the code,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: that the Sam Darnold software update had downloaded successfully. Nothing
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: to see here.
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: We're all good.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: But turns out there's still malware in there. There's still
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: malware in the Sam Donald software update. Yeah.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Yikes.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Still hiding somewhere in that hard drive. Good luck getting
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: that out.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Well, look, you can call it one bad game. I
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: already got an email from one of our listeners in
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: the Pacific Northwest who said, I know you're going to
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: kill the Seahawks, but it's only one bad game. And
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Donald still had four touchdowns. Okay.
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Four touchdowns. That makes up for the game-changing mistakes. I know.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, it doesn't? Okay, that's right. It doesn't make up
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: for the... Yeah, I got you. Okay, it doesn't make
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: up for the game-ending mistakes. So I call this evidence
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: entered into the record is what I call this here.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: So Seattle ordered the new and improved Sam. Sam, Sam, Sam. Bam, bam, bam. Yes,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: and occasionally they still get that factory settings edition of
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Sam Darnold. Well, that's a Debbie Downer when that happens, right? Yeah.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: So he didn't lose his confidence, Sam Darnold. He briefly
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: lost track of which color jersey he was wearing. And
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: that pick six, that was the Sam Darnold we all
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: came to know and love in the NFL. That pick six,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: my God. That was not just a throw by Sam Donald.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: That was a family heirloom. It was. That's who Sam
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Donald has been and continues to be at his core.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Somewhere there's a guy in New Jersey somewhere, an old
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Jets fan, who watched that and whispered, Yeah, thank you, Sam.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Sam. Wham, bam, thank you, Sam. That's what
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Washington was saying as the Washington Commanders get the win there.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: with their backup quarterback, and the Seahawks won the stat sheet.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: That was a refresher course, though, that no matter how
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: many touchdowns Sam Darnold has and how many yards he
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: racks up, doesn't matter. Because you can say, oh, he's
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: a championship quarterback. He's got the championship pedigree. You can
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: shove that up your tuckus all you want. Still, there
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: is a manufacturer's warning label on Sam Darnold. The shocking
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: thing is he didn't play like that in the Super
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Bowl with all those mistakes. We were waiting for that
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: to happen. It didn't happen. But that was a fluke,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: and typically flukes don't happen more than one time. Now,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: page two. We go to Buffalo. Here we go, Buffalo.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: They tried to do it. The Buffalo Bills said, we
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: want to help out Harbaugh. We want to give Harbaugh
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: a win. Let's help out Harbaugh. and harbaugh's team said
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: no no no no no we don't want that help
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: we don't need that help we don't want to win
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: a game hell no we don't want to win a
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: game so yeah they didn't the chargers somehow somehow lost
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: again they're oh and three now they lose by eight
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: points to the buffalo bill's as their disastrous start rolls on.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: And that, not even the story here, the Chargers given
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: not one, not two, not three, not four, actually five
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: gifts by the Bills. Five gifts, we'll get to that
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: in a second. Now Jim Harbaugh defending yet again his
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: quarterback and his offensive coordinator, Mike McDaniel, the embattled wokester,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: who looks like he should be drinking a kombucha tea
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: doing a podcast for the public radio. Uh, and, uh,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: there he is offensive coordinator of the chargers. Things are
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: not going very well right now for Mike McDaniel or
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: to a tongue of my lower for that matter, his
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: old quarterback who used to, they used to be together
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: there in Miami. So Harbaugh defending Mike McDaniel, insisting there
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: is quote, no disconnect between McDaniel and the players. So
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: if there's no disconnect, that means they're all just bad.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: If there's no disconnect, they all just suck. That's it. Right.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Uh, the comment came as the vultures are out now.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: And they're saying, wait a minute, someone's going to have
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: to lose their job The situation is ugly for the
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Chargers offense. They cannot score consistently.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: L.A.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Managed to 16 points against Buffalo, which is not a lot,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: especially when you consider the generosity of the Buffalo Bills.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: And despite all of the criticism and all the hemming
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: and hawing about what a fraud, what a fraud, what
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: a fraud, Jim Harbaugh pushing back against the many suggestions
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: that Mike McDaniel's offensive system or his communication is responsible
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: for the quagmire that the Chargers find themselves in at
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: this point. So the question is this. Is Chargers coach
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh's loyalty to offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel becoming a
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: liability at this point? We're three games in. to the season.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: So there's only one acceptable answer here, and I'm nodding
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: my head yes. That's it. There's only one. Loyalty is
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: absolutely wonderful in a marriage, a friendship, if you have
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: a golden retriever, a dog, an English bulldog named Moxie.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Loyalty is very important. But offensive coordinators have this job.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: They're judged by how many points their teams score. Oh,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: that's mean, Maller! That's mean!
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: I know.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: I'm a schmuck. I know. Believe it or not, this
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: is supposed to be a results-based business. What are you
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: talking about? Yes, so Mike McDaniel has helped make what
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: some say is a franchise quarterback, and all the broadcasters
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: like Collinsworth and Aikman and those guys who have their
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: knee pads on for Justin Herbert. They love Herbert, franchise quarterback,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: and he is measurably worse. Now, is it McDaniel? Is
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: it the fact that you've got a Yoko Ono situation
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: going on here with his lady friend, the not-very-talented musician
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: woman there?
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on. All I know is
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: it's an absolute mess. Here is Jim Harbaugh commenting on
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: the situation. Take a listen.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: What gives me hope is the people, our team. No
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: denying that the want to, the fight is there, and
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: we just keep building on that and chipping away at it.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: But no question, we haven't been good enough yet. So
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: that's what we have to push through.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Check back sometime in May. They'll be really good in
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: May of 2027. They'll have a great month. This reminds
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: me of when I covered the L.A. Clippers in the 90s.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: They had a bunch of young guys, and they loved
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: each other, and they played video games.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: They hung out.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: They chased girls together on the road. They just sucked
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: at basketball. But they really got along. They really got
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: along well. They enjoyed each other's company. Couldn't play basketball,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: but they were really friendly. Good people. Good people. So stupid.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: So McDaniel is on the hot seat. Chargers is a
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: rather cheap franchise, so who knows about that. But what
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: exactly is Harbaugh watching? Like, seriously, what is he checking out,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh? Buffalo tried to hand this game away. Even
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Bill's monster thought this was going to be a loss.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: He's part of Bill's mafia there. So the Bills gave
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: away five turnovers. So the Chargers got the ball five
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: times courtesy of their defense and turnovers on the side
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: of Buffalo, and the offense was unable to take advantage.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: At 0-3, we have now reviewed the medical chart. We've
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: looked at the medical charts, and this isn't loyalty anymore.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: It's not about loyalty. It's football stubbornitis is what it
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: is for Jim Harbaugh. And Harbaugh... got to stay the course.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: And the reason you'd say he has to stay the
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: course here with Mike McDaniel is because he hired Mike McDaniel.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: So by firing Mike McDaniel, that would mean admitting that
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Harbaugh screwed the pooch when it came to hiring this guy.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: And there's also the fact that Harbaugh has said every
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: possible nice thing you could possibly say about this guy,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: including he sees him as a young Jim Harbaugh, Mike McDaniel. Okay?
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: That's not going very well. So you've got to stay
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: the course. Now, unfortunately, kind of like the song from
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: The Little Mermaid, Under the Sea, it appears that the
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: path for the Chargers this year leads directly to the
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: bottom of the Pacific Ocean. And the loyalty card has
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: been punched not once, not twice, but three times right
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: now by Jim Harbaugh. Enough already. The Harbaugh-McDaniel buddy comedy.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: as it was supposed to be here. You got Hardo,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh, and hipster Mike McDaniel. And this buddy comedy
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: is turning into a disaster film, is what's happening in
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: front of us here. And again, there is an expiration
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: date on the loyalty, and you look around... at the
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Chargers here, and what's ahead? The Chargers are 0-3. They
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: have a date at Seattle, and outside of Sam Donald
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: giving that game to the Chargers, and even if he does,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: the Chargers might not take it, because Buffalo tried to
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: give the game to the Chargers. So that'll be a loss.
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: Denver....
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: And good luck on that. That is a home game
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: in Inglewood, in the hood at Inglewood. You figure that'll
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: be a loss. Kansas City, that'll be a loss. The Rams,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: that's a loss. So that's 0-7. The Texans is a
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: winnable game. However, not a guarantee. And then the Ravens
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: after that. The first real winnable game for the Chargers,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: the way they're playing, is Week 11 against the Jets.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: So they do have a bye in Week 7. They
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: could lose that. Somebody could get arrested. That's how you
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: lose a bye week. Somebody gets arrested. So we'll see
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: what happens with that. Anyway, that's a mess. That is
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: an absolute effing mess, the Chargers. Meanwhile, to the bayou
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: we go. We must address the wildebeest in the room,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: the Raiders. The Raiders improved to 3-0. And this is
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: how pathetic that franchise has been. We're told just their
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: second 3-0 start since 0-2. Ha! That's so bad. That
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: is so bad.
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: 0-2.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: That's a generation of suck. Bottled suck. It's why the
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: only real Raider fans are old dudes. Because anybody young
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: didn't become a Raider fan. Because they suck. Anyway, the
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Raiders are 3-0. They rallied from an 11-point second-half deficit.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: The Raiders did. To get the win, Las Vegas trailed 27-22.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Entering the fourth quarter, they get the win in Louisiana
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: there as Kirk Cousins had 248 yards passing, three touchdowns,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: becoming the first Raider quarterback ever. with at least three
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: touchdown passes in each of the season's first three games.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Brock Bowers, I will credit the Raiders for this. You
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: only have one decent playmaker. You might want to throw
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: him the ball. And the Raiders threw Brock Bowers the
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: ball early and often. He ended up with 10 catches
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: for 116 yards to the tight end as he got
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: her done. And he did have a touchdown. 13 targets
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: for Brock Bowers, the tight end, as he gets the win.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: So the question is, Here's the question. The Raiders sit
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: here at 3-0. Are we impressed with Kirk Cousins and
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: company yet? For some reason, many of you are very
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: concerned about my opinion on the Raiders. I'm flattered that
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: you want to know what I think of the Raiders.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: And to answer the question, are we now impressed that
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: the Raiders went to.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: And we're able to get the win against the Saints.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: So that would be a no for me. Dog. That
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: would be a no. And again, I'm not, you know,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: a lot of you guys, I get it. You watch
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: your little Raider guys with their Raider polo shirts on
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: with their Raider logo in the background. And I got you.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: It's state-sponsored media. We don't do that here. I'm not
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: on the payroll for the Raiders. If I was, I
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: would say this is the greatest start of all time. Unfortunately,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: I live in the real world. I'm not impressed. Oh,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: you should be impressed. Why are you not impressed?
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: I'm not.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: The resume of the Raiders. Do you understand? If you
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: look at the resume of the Raiders, it's like a
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: three-story mansion built on styrofoam. It's not impressive at all.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Here's a fun fact. You ready for a fun fact?
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Fun fact, fun fact, Mallard, fun fact, fun fact. The
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Raiders here, the combined record of the three teams the
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Raiders have beaten to begin the year.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: 1-8.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: That is a 1-11 winning precision. But oh, you've got
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: to be impressed, Maller! What's wrong with you? You're such
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: a hater! Not a hater. This is how effed up
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: the sports media world is. Again, filled with guys wearing
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Raider polos and they've got their Raider pom-poms and their
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Raider logo in the background.
• 19:06
  Speaker 7: I don't have that.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: I'm just calling it like it is. I'm giving you
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: the truth. This is not impressive. I'm not sitting here saying, well,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: I'm blown away by anything the Raiders are doing. I'm not.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Should we alert the people over in Canton, Ohio, that
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: the Raiders have beaten three tomato cans? Okay, so you're
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: not a tomato can anymore. Congratulations. That's the bar for
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: the Raiders? We're no longer at the very bottom. We're
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: just close to the bottom. Against New Orleans, a team
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: not projected to have a winning record. The Saints had
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: more yards. They had more first downs. They were 100%
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: in the red zone against the Raiders. But the New
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Orleans Saints decided, we want to give the game away.
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: And they did.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: In the fourth quarter this was a Salvation Army red
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: kettle game Salvation Army red kettle game and the Raiders
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: kept ringing the bell and the Saints said okay we'll
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: give you another donation you want another donation we'll give
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: you another donation Tyler Schoch which now turned into Sock
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: in this game, Tyler Sock, the quarterback, he actually earned
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: a silver and black game ball for his performance late
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: in this game. You talk about clutch late football. As
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: he had a coughing fit, he kept coughing up the
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: fur ball, or unfortunately for the Saints, the football, as
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: he did it in clutch time. The last four New
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Orleans drives, three fumbles and an interception. Three fumbles and
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: an interception. That is a tax-deductible donation, is what that
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: is here. And that was not the game of football,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: the game I love, the game of football. That was
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: a going-out-of-business sale. And you don't get credit if you're
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: the Raiders if the other team gives the game away.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: And that's exactly what the Saints did. So the Raiders
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: happened to be there, and they accepted it. And Vegas now...
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: has Kansas City. Surely the Raiders at 3-0 are favored
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: at home against Kansas City. I'm sure the gambling market
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: has adjusted, and much like you fanboys, the gamblers know
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: that the Raiders must be favored. They have home field advantage.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: I'm sure that won't be Arrowhead, Nevada, when the Raiders
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: play the Chiefs. Oh, wait a minute. What's that? Oh,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: that's right. Vegas has Kansas City as a 5.5-point favorite.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: It would be 8.5 if it was a neutral field
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: or back in Kansas City. You get three points at home.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: So the Chiefs are a 5.5-point favorite. That is reality.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: So you can yell at me and get your little
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: nasty comments out there. You hide behind your phone like
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: a tough guy. The reality is that the gambling market
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: agrees with me. The Raiders are not very impressive. They're
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: a five and a half point dog at home. That's
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: a real game. That's a legitimate opponent. Go out and
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: beat the Chiefs. You want to get your little flowers?
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: Like Mike in Tucson who called up last hour, big
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Raider fan. If you want your flowers, go beat Mahomes
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: and the Chiefs. You're at home. Go beat them. Kansas
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: City is the airport security checkpoint. And we'll find out
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: what's actually inside the Raider luggage. And so, okay, we'll see.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: But am I impressed by beating teams that are combined 1-8? No,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: I'm not. Oh, you should be, Maller.
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: I know.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: If I had my Raider polo on, I would be
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: very happy. It is the Ben Maller Show. If you'd
• 22:32

• 23:49
  Speaker 5: And then I'm going home to the BBC, and they're
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: saying Jockovich instead of Jokovich.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Right, because you can't say Jockovich.
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: If you do, you know the blowback you're going to
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: get from the American audience.
• 24:00

  Speaker 1: the chit-chat with random people. We had a few guests recently. Well,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: not really guests, people just hanging, friends of the show.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: So if you want to recommend somebody, you can do that.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: If you want to hear somebody on the Fifth Hour

• 25:07
  Speaker 1: if you don't like the show, well, we're on overnight.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: No one's awake overnight. And it's a podcast. Nobody actually
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: listens to the podcast. It's all manipulated by bots. So
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: don't worry about it. Yeah. 877-99 on Fox, on X,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: at Ben Maler. That's at Ben Maler. Excited to have
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: our pal Marky Mark, the pride of Chicago. White Sox fan.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: He's been waiting his entire life to see the White
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Sox back in the playoffs, and here they are. And
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: I like the fact he's got the old school White
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Sox logo. Not that new crap. Not even new. It's
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: been around probably 30 years, the logo they have now.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: But you get the 1980s White Sox logo, it looks like, right?
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: Mid-80s? Yeah.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: Not bad. Say hello to Marky Mark. He is on X.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: You can say hello to him. M-A-R-C. See, that's his name. Ramsey.
• 26:02
  Speaker 7: 64950.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: And Koopaloop is here. Decked out in full Bronco paraphernalia.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: I wonder why. He should be wearing referee paraphernalia because
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: that's who won the game for the Broncos. Koopaloop, all
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: Bronco fan. That's all Bronco fan. There you go. Check
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: it out. Nostradamus writes in and he says, Benny, fake
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: news leads the hour with the Seahawks. And he does,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: according to Nostradamus, I think what he meant here is
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: because Sam Darnold sucks and everyone knows it and Sam
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: finally returned back. That's a pretty good take by you, Nostradamus.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: I thought you'd have an opposite take. Good job by you.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Fergdog writes in, says it's going to be very tough
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: for the Seahawks to repeat with an incompetent quarterback like
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: Sam Darnall at the helm. Now, if they had Justin
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Herbert on the roster, they'd be a shoo-in to win
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: back-to-back Super Bowls. Michael in Tulsa writes, and he says,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: neither of the frauds known as Seattle and New England
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: will return to the upcoming Valentine's Day Super Bowl, but
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: please don't tell Raider fans that they are too busy
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: putting on face paint spikes and planning championship parades in
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Vegas and parts of L.A. Sir Smokes-A-Lot says the Raiders
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: will go 4-0, and they're going to take down The
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs or so he says. What else do
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: we have? Let's see. Page down. Page down. Mark, the
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: full name guy from somewhere in Oregon. He's a retired caller.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: He couldn't handle the pressure of calling overnight talk radio anymore.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: He says, your Rams won a Super Bowl versus Cincinnati
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: on a third and goal phantom pass interference call. No,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: that was not a phantom pass interference call, Mark. I
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: know you're old and you don't remember. That was a
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: brilliant call in that game. And so anyway, he says,
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: I think that blaming the refs in week three is okay.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: Go right ahead. Your Rams have had some terrible postseason calls. Yeah, exactly.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: What else do we have? I can't read that. Let's
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: take a call or two. Let's say hello.
• 28:18
  Speaker 7: Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Let's say hi to Mojo Risen, who's a real Raider fan.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: And he's in the Bay Area where the Raiders would
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: be if Derek Carr actually knew how to play quarterback. Instead,
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: he sucked, so the Raiders moved to Vegas. What's going on,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: Mojo Risen?
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: Mr.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: Godfather of the Overnight. Riders on the Storm, the Ben
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: Maller show always hits a new form. Us Raider fans,
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: we're delirious. Ben, I agree with you 100% as a
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: diehard Raider fan my whole life. As a matter of fact,
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: I coined the term that I bleed silver and I
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: sweat black. That was a little football that when you
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: hit it, it makes those sounds. Touchdown, Raiders. That's out
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: of my Raiders shrine, but I'm with you, Ben. We
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: haven't played anybody. We're basically a fraud. You know, they
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: beat the Dolphins, which is probably the worst team in
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: the NFL, and then you got the Chargers. Even though
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: going into this season, the Chargers were this– Favorite team,
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: I think the top five odds to make the Super Bowl,
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: but we know they're horrible. And then today they finally
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: beat a team that was decent. But just like you said,
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: the Saints fumbled the game away. They turned the ball
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: over four times in the fourth quarter and the Raiders
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: were lucky enough to barely win. on and win the game.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: And I agree with you. Kirk Cousins is still a fraud.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: I don't know how he has nine touchdowns. This is
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: the first game that he didn't throw.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: All right, hold on a sec here. Let's give this
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: man a golden ticket. Mojo Rising, you have earned a
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: golden ticket.
• 29:53
  Speaker 8: Good job by you. You get a golden ticket. You
• 29:56
  Speaker 8: get a golden ticket. You get a golden ticket. I'm
• 30:00
  Speaker 8: going to keep doing this until Mark plays the sound effect.
• 30:02
  Speaker 8: You get a golden ticket. You get a golden ticket.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: You get a gold.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: Well, thank you, Mr.
• 30:10
  Speaker 7: Ben.
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, thank you, sir, because like I said, I'm flabbergasted.
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: I don't even know how, like I said, I don't
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: know how we're 3-0.
• 30:18
  Speaker 7: I agree with you.
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: If they beat the Chiefs next week, which they won't,
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: because that's what they're favored at home, because the Raiders
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: are the worst team in the NFL. As a matter
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: of fact, it'll be a sea of red next week, guaranteed,
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: in Vegas, and the Raiders will lay an egg, just
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: like they always do. I think they've only beat the
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: Chiefs once in the last, what, 10 years since Mahomes
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: has been the quarterback. So if they beat the Chiefs,
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: I'm with you, Ben.
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: Go Raiders!
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Go Raiders! That'll be legitimate. If the Raiders beat the Chiefs,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: that's a legitimate win. And now we'll say, okay, now
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: we got something. Now we got something.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: And you're right, Ben. Only us old guys are Raider fans.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: Because new people and young guys, why don't you like
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: the Raiders? Because we've sucked for 20 freaking years. And
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: like you said, this is the first 3-0 start since, what,
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: second time in 22 years? I was discussing that with
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: my brother and my sister-in-law today. Like, wow, the Raiders
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: are 3-0? Unbelievable. I thought it had been like 20 years.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: When you were a kid, though, Mojo, when you were
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: a kid, the Raiders were good. They always had competitive teams. Yeah,
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: they were great.
• 31:17
  Speaker 7: They were fabulous.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: I remember my dad used to yell at the TV,
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: these stupid zebras. And they still get terrible calls. And
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: speaking of terrible calls, yeah, you guys got the worst
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: call tonight, Ben. You guys got hosed. I love Coop
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: and the Broncos, but they really shouldn't have won that game.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: And as a Raider fan, that's one thing I do know.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: I'm used to terrible calls. The Raiders have got the
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: worst calls for my whole life. But anyway, I love
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: you guys, man. And we'll see what happens with the Raiders.
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: But I still say that the Rams and possibly the
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: Broncos could make it to the Super Bowl. It's either
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: going to be... The Bills, the Ravens are the Chiefs
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: and the AFC. And in the NFC, the three best
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: teams are really still probably in that division. You guys,
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: the Niners, and really Seattle, even though they did lay
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: an eight today. And you're right, Sam Donald, he's a
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: fraud too. But hey, what are you going to do?
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: Love you guys, man.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: There he is, the great Mojo Rising. He got a
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: golden ticket. Let's say hello to America's beloved trash man.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: He's calling us. He's rare and appropriate. He doesn't call
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: much anymore. He's in the Boston area. The great Danny DeVito. Hello, Danny. Welcome.
• 32:24
  Speaker 7: Ben Mal, what's going on?
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Living large here. Any bad beats this weekend?
• 32:30
  Speaker 7: Doing okay. What a Sunday, huh, Ben? What a Sunday. Wow,
• 32:34
  Speaker 7: these games are unbelievable. Starting with the Patriots. How bad
• 32:38
  Speaker 7: are the Patriots, Ben? The Patriots... How bad are the charges?
• 32:43
  Speaker 7: Every year I hear the charge for the last six
• 32:45
  Speaker 7: or seven years. They're going to the Super Bowl. They're
• 32:47
  Speaker 7: going to the Super Bowl. And they're just terrible. The
• 32:50
  Speaker 7: best thing about Justin Herbert is that with the name
• 32:54
  Speaker 7: Madison Bear, she is an absolute smoke show. And I
• 32:57
  Speaker 7: got to look at her the other day. I mean,
• 32:59
  Speaker 7: yesterday showed her a lot this week. I couldn't believe
• 33:02
  Speaker 7: what a smoke show she is.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: Good for her, but she's apparently distracting him, I guess.
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: He's too busy with her.
• 33:09
  Speaker 7: Definitely. You know, I want to tell, I know there's
• 33:14
  Speaker 7: some gamblers out here, some rookie gamblers out here. You know,
• 33:18
  Speaker 7: I had the Broncos last night, tonight, whatever it was.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: So did I.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: I had the Broncos, too, so I won that bet. Oh,
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: you did?
• 33:26
  Speaker 7: I thought you were a Rams fan.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: I am a Rams fan, but when it comes to gambling,
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: I bet on whoever should win the bet. I don't
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: care about that.
• 33:33
  Speaker 7: Oh, you're a smart guy, man. You're a smart guy.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 33:37
  Speaker 7: I want to tell you that it's called, I was
• 33:40
  Speaker 7: washing these wines, right? And before I placed that bet,
• 33:44
  Speaker 7: I think it opened up at like two and a half,
• 33:46
  Speaker 7: plus two and a half. And before that game started, like,
• 33:50
  Speaker 7: I don't know, it was soon, the game almost started,
• 33:54
  Speaker 7: it went down to one. So I called up my friend.
• 33:57
  Speaker 7: I go, look, there's some funny line movement. The whole
• 33:59
  Speaker 7: country was taking the Rams. And it goes the other way,
• 34:03
  Speaker 7: reverse line movement. I jumped on the Broncos. I was
• 34:08
  Speaker 7: going crazy in the first half because the Rams were
• 34:10
  Speaker 7: killing the first half. It was all Rams. And as
• 34:13
  Speaker 7: you know what happened that second half, it was unbelievable
• 34:15
  Speaker 7: that second half of that game.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: Unreal. It was crazy. As you know, if you can
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: find out where the public is betting, you're better off
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: betting against the public. You'll win more times than not.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: So you're not going to win all the time, but
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: you'll win most of the time.
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: For the most part.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if you can figure out where the public is,
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: it's just odd how that always seems to happen, Danny,
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: where the public doesn't get it right. It's very odd
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: when there's lopsided money on these games. It's crazy.
• 34:43
  Speaker 7: No, it's amazing. It's amazing to me. It's especially amazing
• 34:46
  Speaker 7: to me that these lines makers have a lot of
• 34:49
  Speaker 7: these games. I mean, anything. Fights, the fights, UFC. I mean,
• 34:55
  Speaker 7: all these are right down to the final, especially pros,
• 34:58
  Speaker 7: are right down to the final second. You know, that
• 35:02
  Speaker 7: Ravens game was crazy, man.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: How did the Cowboys not score a touchdown? What are
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: you doing, Dak?
• 35:09
  Speaker 7: Oh, that was ridiculous. How he choked that out. They
• 35:13
  Speaker 7: gave him a call at the end, too. That was unbelievable.
• 35:16
  Speaker 7: It was a great week, man, a great Sunday. I
• 35:19
  Speaker 7: won out. I told you how the picks are bad.
• 35:23
  Speaker 7: The Pats ain't going to win seven games this year,
• 35:26
  Speaker 7: and Drake made bad then. I know he's only, what,
• 35:31
  Speaker 7: a couple years in, and he's still fairly young, but
• 35:34
  Speaker 7: he is.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: He looks like he's got the yips. There's something going
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: on with him. Your cousin, Tommy DeVito, came in there,
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: so your guy got some playing time and garbage time
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: there for the Patriots in the fourth quarter.
• 35:44
  Speaker 7: Oh, I didn't see that. I gave up on that
• 35:45
  Speaker 7: game because I knew I had to.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: He came in and it was like eight minutes or
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: something like that he came into the game. All right,
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: I got to go, but we love you, Danny. Call
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: more often, buddy. Danny DeVito from Boston checking in. It
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: is the Ben Maller Show. Patriots lose by 29 points
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: to Jacksonville. 29-point loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, a team
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: that had a big lead in Denver last week and
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: gagged it away, the Jags, and they come back here in, well,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: a different week. All right, we'll push back the NFL
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: quarterback attacked by the GOAT. We'll do that later. We
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: have Mallory, third degree. Here's the Insta trivia. Eagles running

• 37:46
  Speaker 1: least 100 scrimmage yards in five straight Monday Night Football games. Blank.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: owns the longest streak since 1970 with 10 consecutive Monday
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: Night Football games with 100 or more scrimmage yards. That
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: is the question. What is the answer? Femi says Justin
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: Cooper's Prison Fans.
• 38:08
  Speaker 5: Nope.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: I saw that. It was a bunch of viral over
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: the weekend. Alf the Alien Alpine are going with Robbie
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: Claus and Hippie Claus.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: Nope.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: That's his answer. Al Bundy from Nick. Warwick Dunn from
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: Eek in Roseville, Minnesota. Hilary Duff, who's 39 today. from
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: Late Night Drug Tester. Craig Ironhead Hayward, rest in peace,
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: from Mediocre Kabuki. Mel Proctor from Mallor Prop Guy. There
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: you go. Emmett Smith from Robin the 3-2-1. Charlie Bronson
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: from Donkey Sausage. Do you have an answer? It's not
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: Emmett Smith, guessed by JT the Wingman. No, you don't
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: have an answer. The correct answer would be none other
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: than Amon Green. Packers legend Amon Green. Here we go.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: Here we go. It's Mellor. How about that?
• 38:54
  Speaker 5: To the third degree.
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: Are you ready?
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: This is when Big Ben gets grilled.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: This will not be a boondoggle kubaloo.
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: Ben Steph Curry signed a two-year extension with the Warriors
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: and left nearly $ 20 million.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: On the table.
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: People think it's so that they can sign a big
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: star like Giannis or a Karl-Anthony Towns.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: Do you think the Warriors are actually going to do that? No,
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: and I've learned from watching professional basketball, it doesn't matter
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: the contract. If Steph Curry wakes up today and says,
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: I don't want to play for the Warriors anymore, he'll
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: be traded to the Charlotte Hornets or whatever, so it
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter. And it's great to say you're going to
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: bring somebody in, but they have to want to play
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: for the team. And that team is not going the
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: right direction. Next!
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: And Texas Longhorns defensive end Colin Simmons, five sacks against
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: Tennessee over the weekend.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: Yes, and he's got a big, big, you know what?
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: After his fifth one, he celebrated by pretending to urinate
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: on the field.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah. He blamed society for this. Society. Do you think
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: it's society's fault? No, I do not believe it's society's
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: fault because how many other players have pulled out their
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: fake giant? You know what? Don't recall that being a
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: regular occurrence. I'm going to go. No, I'm going to go.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: That's a he problem, not a societal problem. And I
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: do like the fact he did it. And I think
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: the president was at that game, too, I believe. Anyway,
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: probably wasn't watching the game. Next, quickly.
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: Ben, the Angels have finally got 100 losses.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: Congratulations. Last franchise to do it.
• 40:28
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: I'm back on the Angels, you know, bandwagon now.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: How long do you think I'm going to need to
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: wait before I start enjoying Angels baseball again?
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: Well, there'll be no season in 2027, so it's going
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: to be a while, Coop.
• 40:39
  Speaker 5: There you go. How'd we do? How'd we do?
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: How'd we do?
• 40:40
  Speaker 7: You pass.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: I pass. I pass.
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: I pass. I pass.
