- 0:17Speaker 1: one hundred players. Big deal, little deal, no deal. Also,
- 0:21Speaker 1: what is your read on Chargers running back Najee Harris
- 0:24Speaker 1: doubling down that his eye injury was quote superficial. And
- 0:29Speaker 1: what is your reaction to the Giants coach Brian Dayball
- 0:32Speaker 1: and his depth chart deception refusing the Giants coach refusing

- 0:45Speaker 1: right now here. It is our number two on top
- 0:49Speaker 1: of the mountain. But what kind of mountain is it?
- 0:52Speaker 1: Let's take a closer look. Welcome in the beginning of
- 0:57Speaker 1: another hour of the Ben Maler Show. We are in
- 1:00Speaker 1: the air everywhere as we babble and hang loose coast,
- 1:05Speaker 1: the coast, border, the border, and beyond on the vast
- 1:09Speaker 1: and impressively powerful microphones of fsre ammunating live from the pain.
- 1:17Speaker 1: We are your pain Management Center, the world famous Fox

- 1:53Speaker 1: way tire buying should be. On the post mortem, Bill
- 1:57Speaker 1: Belichick is apps absolutely destroyed, just totally torn to bits
- 2:05Speaker 1: by TCU and college football. We're gonna move away from
- 2:09Speaker 1: that story. We'll get back to it, but we'll move
- 2:11Speaker 1: on to something better. Well you'll be the judge of that.
- 2:15Speaker 1: But Dateline, the prov the news service of a pro
- 2:20Speaker 1: football state sponsored NFL Media, announcing that the top spot,
- 2:27Speaker 1: the very top spot, on the NFL Networks Top one
- 2:31Speaker 1: hundred list. This is the kind of a thing that
- 2:33Speaker 1: Terry in England loves. He loves this. So they've been
- 2:37Speaker 1: counting down for a good amount of time now counting
- 2:41Speaker 1: down to the very top spot, the top one hundred
- 2:45Speaker 1: players in the NFL. So if you saw this, you
- 2:48Speaker 1: know where I'm going. But maybe not. So this was
- 2:50Speaker 1: voted on, We're told by the players, and at the
- 2:54Speaker 1: very top of the mountain that would be fly e Goles,
- 2:59Speaker 1: fly on the road to victory. Sequan Barkley at number one,
- 3:06Speaker 1: right there at the number numero uno, top of the heap,
- 3:10Speaker 1: king of the hill, the crown Jule. Congratulations. All right,
- 3:16Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question the Eagles running back
- 3:20Speaker 1: Sakwan Barkley claiming the top spot on this year's NFL
- 3:25Speaker 1: Top one hundred ranking. Is this a big deal, a
- 3:30Speaker 1: little deal or no deal? So I've got Lizard, Elton,
- 3:35Speaker 1: John and Raspberry and we will combine all of these
- 3:39Speaker 1: ingredients together and we're gonna make you a Babushka's favorite
- 3:42Speaker 1: PB and J, because every Babushka knows a good PBNJ.
- 3:45Speaker 1: Aren't they delicious? My god? So good? All right? So
- 3:48Speaker 1: number one, number one? All right? This means and I
- 3:55Speaker 1: want to be very clear for those who in the
- 3:56Speaker 1: back of the room, this means absolutely not thing. Put
- 4:01Speaker 1: this in the basket with bupkus on. It is what
- 4:04Speaker 1: this is. It's kind of like winning the talent show
- 4:07Speaker 1: when you were in high school. That's wonderful. Maybe you
- 4:10Speaker 1: get a little trophy. A little plastic trophy does not
- 4:12Speaker 1: mean you're ready to go to Broadway, just does not. Now,
- 4:16Speaker 1: this is a perception not reality situation. It's a popularity contest.
- 4:23Speaker 1: And look listen. Sakwan Barkley was majestic last year. He
- 4:29Speaker 1: absolutely cooked the team that I like more than other teams,
- 4:33Speaker 1: the LA Rams. It was embarrassing as they tried to
- 4:36Speaker 1: stop him. He had several huge runs, including in the
- 4:38Speaker 1: playoff game in Philadelphia. The man painted a masterpiece, an
- 4:44Speaker 1: absolute masterpiece worthy of being hung at the louver, only
- 4:48Speaker 1: with shoulder pads and some grass stains. It was a
- 4:52Speaker 1: symphony on turf, is what it was. For the Eagles
- 4:56Speaker 1: running back, he was a ballet dancer with pads. I
- 4:59Speaker 1: can go on and on here. That won amazing play
- 5:01Speaker 1: against Jacksonville when he spun around and leapt up in
- 5:05Speaker 1: the air like he was a Marvel comic character. It
- 5:07Speaker 1: was great. However, that is not what this is about. See,
- 5:12Speaker 1: that is not what this is about. This is about
- 5:15Speaker 1: guys in the locker room scribbling down names on a
- 5:19Speaker 1: ballot in between Fortnite matches. That's what this is about.
- 5:23Speaker 1: I mean, so you got a factor in who's actually voting.
- 5:26Speaker 1: A lot of the meathead fanboys, oh, the players voted.
- 5:30Speaker 1: This has more meeting and not so much. I don't
- 5:33Speaker 1: know that I would go there. For most of the
- 5:36Speaker 1: people that play pro football, it's gonna blow you away.
- 5:38Speaker 1: This is an original take. Most of the people that
- 5:41Speaker 1: play pro football, it is their job. It's not their hobby,
- 5:45Speaker 1: it's not their life's passion. It's their job. They're good
- 5:49Speaker 1: at it. They'll do it for a few years and
- 5:52Speaker 1: then they'll go do something else. It's just something they're
- 5:56Speaker 1: doing for work. It pays them a good amount of money.
- 6:00Speaker 1: Not fans. You're a fan, they're not fans, uh. And
- 6:04Speaker 1: the people that they're voting on are co workers. Those
- 6:07Speaker 1: are other people that work in their job. That's what
- 6:11Speaker 1: that is. And so they know the highlights, right, They
- 6:13Speaker 1: know the high they know the headlines. They know a
- 6:15Speaker 1: little bit about that. They know who embarrassed them on
- 6:20Speaker 1: the field on a given Sunday, and those are likely
- 6:23Speaker 1: the people that they vote for. Whoever's on the headlines there,
- 6:26Speaker 1: they're filling out the thing of a jig in the
- 6:29Speaker 1: locker room like they're like you would fill out a
- 6:32Speaker 1: March Madness bracket after you've had a couple of bruskies, right,
- 6:36Speaker 1: a couple of beers. You start filling that thing out,
- 6:39Speaker 1: all right, said, Darts on the board, darts on the board.
- 6:43Speaker 2: Uh.
- 6:43Speaker 1: And the list and this is a list, right, this
- 6:48Speaker 1: list has all the staying power of cotton candy at
- 6:52Speaker 1: a counovol, it does. It tastes good. Cotton candy tastes
- 6:57Speaker 1: good for about three seconds out three seconds and then
- 7:02Speaker 1: you're just left sticky and annoyed and it gets all
- 7:04Speaker 1: over your hands. You gotta wash your hands and then
- 7:06Speaker 1: it's like this. You can't get it off with it.
- 7:08Speaker 1: You need a lot of soap to get the stuff off.
- 7:09Speaker 1: You know what I'm talking about. Anyway, So today we
- 7:12Speaker 1: do the show today, and so today Sequon Barkley is
- 7:15Speaker 1: the king of the mountain, NFL mountain. Congratulations, you're at
- 7:19Speaker 1: top of the NFL mountain tomorrow. Who knows, because the
- 7:22Speaker 1: NFL world life comes at you pretty pretty fast, pretty
- 7:27Speaker 1: just football world in general, but the NFL specifically. Know
- 7:30Speaker 1: what's my evidence? Ask the cheetah, ask the chee Let's
- 7:34Speaker 1: go on the hot, tough time machine. We were having
- 7:37Speaker 1: this conversation last year, around this time. Last year, around
- 7:41Speaker 1: this time, do you know who was number one last year?
- 7:45Speaker 1: Do you know who has voted the top player in
- 7:47Speaker 1: the NFL last year, according to the prop the news
- 7:49Speaker 1: service of the NFL, ding Ding Ding, ding Ding, that
- 7:51Speaker 1: would be the Cheetah tyreek Kill, Tyreek Hill was voted
- 7:57Speaker 1: the top player in the NFL. The bell of the ball,
- 8:00Speaker 1: the bell of the pigskin ball, tyreek Hill. Twelve months later,
- 8:04Speaker 1: he's hanging out down at number forty seven, from number one,
- 8:09Speaker 1: all the way down to number forty seven. Forty seven, yes,
- 8:14Speaker 1: forty seven. We don't have a jingle for that to
- 8:17Speaker 1: left down there like the dust from failed lottery tickets,
- 8:22Speaker 1: just down there at the bottom. And this is another
- 8:25Speaker 1: reason why I can't stand list now. I did a
- 8:28Speaker 1: rant about this on my podcast, the Fifth Hour podcast,
- 8:30Speaker 1: a couple of weeks back. Maybe it's been a couple months.
- 8:32Speaker 1: I don't know. It's just one thing after another. But
- 8:36Speaker 1: the gist of it, and this is my position on
- 8:38Speaker 1: this kind of thing, is the late great La Times columnist,
- 8:41Speaker 1: a guy I considered a friend, TJ. Simers, once taught
- 8:44Speaker 1: me lists are the ultimate, the ultimate brain fall go
- 8:51Speaker 1: their brain fag. They tap into the lizard part of
- 8:55Speaker 1: the human brain, and we're logic, logic. It goes on
- 9:00Speaker 1: a nice vacation, right that part of the brain. Lists
- 9:04Speaker 1: are nothing but opinions. They're nothing but opinions. They're dressed
- 9:09Speaker 1: up though, in a nice tuxedo. So you've got a
- 9:11Speaker 1: nice tuxedo pretending to be the gospel truth. And it
- 9:15Speaker 1: is like a bunch of people saying, well, here's what
- 9:17Speaker 1: I think, right, here's what I think, and pretending it's
- 9:21Speaker 1: science because you put some numbers near it and all that.
- 9:25Speaker 1: It's the illusion of authority. And my favorite thing is
- 9:32Speaker 1: when people take these lists and they take them seriously.
- 9:38Speaker 1: And it's a proven fact. I have talked to enough
- 9:40Speaker 1: people every days to work in the media. It's like,
- 9:41Speaker 1: this is a this is a little cheat code that
- 9:44Speaker 1: you're dumb and you will fall for this every time.
- 9:46Speaker 1: You will react to it. And that's why they do it,
- 9:49Speaker 1: and it's gold. It's the easiest thing to do. You
- 9:52Speaker 1: have to throw a couple of curveballs in the air, right,
- 9:54Speaker 1: a couple of curveballs unusual. You'll move somebody down who
- 9:57Speaker 1: should be higher, move someone higher who should be down.
- 10:00Speaker 1: So there's a lot of moving parts to it. There's
- 10:02Speaker 1: so many people that take this stuff seriously because the
- 10:04Speaker 1: lizard part of the brain. It's like, you know, stone
- 10:08Speaker 1: tablet from the mountaintop, and you know, it's like four
- 10:12Speaker 1: hundred or something football players that vote on this thing,
- 10:14Speaker 1: and they're like, you know, that guy's kind of good.
- 10:16Speaker 1: I guess we'll vote for him. I see him on
- 10:18Speaker 1: the highlights a lot. I see him on the click
- 10:21Speaker 1: you know, things I click on on Instagram or whatever,
- 10:23Speaker 1: So why not? And what what it does tell you
- 10:28Speaker 1: is perception. It tells you perception. Like right now, players
- 10:33Speaker 1: because of the highlights and the attention, perceive Sakuon Barkley
- 10:35Speaker 1: as the top player in the NFL. And that lasts
- 10:40Speaker 1: you know, how long does that last? We'll ask again.
- 10:42Speaker 1: We brought up the Cheetah Tyreek Hill lasts about as
- 10:47Speaker 1: long as one of those snapchat messages, you know, just
- 10:49Speaker 1: kind of self destruction all that, but one injury, one
- 10:52Speaker 1: bad stretch for Barkley and he's falling down, down, down, down,
- 10:57Speaker 1: down down down the mountaintop all the way down to
- 11:00Speaker 1: the bottom, like an old school Tom and Jerry cartoon.
- 11:03Speaker 1: Back in the day and you're yesterday's news. What have
- 11:05Speaker 1: you done for me lately? You peaked? You're done now
- 11:08Speaker 1: all that stuff. And that's that's the way this works.
- 11:12Speaker 1: That's the way this particular thing works. At one year,
- 11:15Speaker 1: you're the Ribbi steak. Everyone wants the Ribbi steak, butterfly
- 11:18Speaker 1: cut well done. That's the proper way to eat steak,
- 11:20Speaker 1: butterfly cut well done. And then the next year your spam.
- 11:24Speaker 1: You can spam, that's what you are. And so you
- 11:28Speaker 1: know that's fine. Good luck. State sponsored media can announce
- 11:33Speaker 1: this thing and that thing and all they want and congratulations.
- 11:36Speaker 1: So moving on from that, the the other part of
- 11:42Speaker 1: this as we move on, how about to Los Angeles
- 11:45Speaker 1: where Chargers running back Nase Harris, somebody we've talked about
- 11:50Speaker 1: a decent amount, considering he's not that good. Nase Harris
- 11:54Speaker 1: has been a toss up toss up to start the
- 11:58Speaker 1: NFL season. The backfield Charges open up in a few
- 12:01Speaker 1: days here. Suffered an eye injury playing with fireworks on
- 12:05Speaker 1: the fourth of July, little accident. Harris gave an update
- 12:09Speaker 1: Naji Harris saying that his vision was not affected by
- 12:13Speaker 1: the firework incident. He again called it a superficial injury. Now,
- 12:19Speaker 1: Harris also said that he's working towards being on the
- 12:22Speaker 1: field for the charge of the season opener against the Chiefs
- 12:25Speaker 1: in Brazil that'll be on Friday. On Friday, So what
- 12:29Speaker 1: is your read here's the question, what is your read
- 12:32Speaker 1: on running back Naji Harris doubling down, doubling down that
- 12:37Speaker 1: his eye injury was just superficial. Okay, So my position
- 12:44Speaker 1: on this, my read on this is a lot of sugar,
- 12:49Speaker 1: a lot of sugar coating. You know, you bake cookies
- 12:52Speaker 1: and you put them wrap them in the sugar there
- 12:54Speaker 1: and they taste really good. But it's a lot of sugarcoating.
- 12:57Speaker 1: This thing is not only got sugar, it's it's got
- 13:02Speaker 1: marshmallow fluff in it. It really does. So we're supposed
- 13:07Speaker 1: to believe Najee Harris missed pretty much all of Chargers
- 13:11Speaker 1: training camp other than walking laps around the field, right,
- 13:14Speaker 1: other than that, and we're supposed to believe that was
- 13:16Speaker 1: a superficial eye injury, that what he got great is
- 13:20Speaker 1: by a sparkler, and that's that's what happened. Was it
- 13:23Speaker 1: a rogue confetti cannon? That's some gender reveal gone wrong. No,
- 13:28Speaker 1: it was a fourth of July. The math ain't mathing
- 13:31Speaker 1: on this. It's just not It doesn't add up. You
- 13:35Speaker 1: don't miss almost all of training camp because of a
- 13:39Speaker 1: superficial eye injury. You don't have to have a medical
- 13:42Speaker 1: degree to know that's not the way it works. That's
- 13:44Speaker 1: not a not a hangnail, you know, it's not a
- 13:48Speaker 1: paper cut. It's it's not a grain of sand in
- 13:51Speaker 1: the eyeball. It's not that. That is a Roman candle
- 13:56Speaker 1: in the wind, Elfton John style, a Roman candle in
- 14:00Speaker 1: the wind and it blew up close enough to your
- 14:04Speaker 1: eye to cause you to miss almost all of training.
- 14:07Speaker 1: So don't be confused that this was some sweet Norman
- 14:11Speaker 1: Rockwell fourth of July apple pie mom lawn shares fireworks
- 14:17Speaker 1: type of event. This was Florida man meets fireworks caught
- 14:23Speaker 1: boom is what it was. And so you don't sideline
- 14:26Speaker 1: yourself for months months. This happened back in July. Here
- 14:31Speaker 1: we are now in September. Unless something went really wrong
- 14:35Speaker 1: right near your cornea, right near your cornea. There, so
- 14:38Speaker 1: Harris trying to shake off the firework injury like he
- 14:41Speaker 1: had a bad burrito from a food truck. And now
- 14:44Speaker 1: I do love the optimism. You know, Benny Brightside, this
- 14:47Speaker 1: is an optimistic person. He's very optimistic that's going to
- 14:51Speaker 1: work out there. And we'll just not pretend that he
- 14:55Speaker 1: hasn't been lifting weights and all that stuff, working out
- 15:00Speaker 1: with his teammates. He's I guess he should have been
- 15:02Speaker 1: better at dodging bottle rockets on the fourth of July,
- 15:05Speaker 1: But it was all superficial. If it was superficial, he
- 15:09Speaker 1: would not have been back in pads for a few days.
- 15:13Speaker 1: He would have been back in pads by day three.
- 15:15Speaker 1: But I digress. So we hope, we do hope that
- 15:18Speaker 1: Najie Harris gets out there and plays. We really do.
- 15:20Speaker 1: I'm not making that up. I'm not just saying, oh,
- 15:22Speaker 1: are you just saying that at the end. No, I
- 15:24Speaker 1: would like to see him play, right, just do not
- 15:27Speaker 1: insult our intelligence that it was a superficial thing. Now,
- 15:32Speaker 1: a buddy of mine's, well, he's got to say that
- 15:34Speaker 1: because the Chargers if he doesn't actually play, and this
- 15:37Speaker 1: is no guarantees is going to play this week, and
- 15:39Speaker 1: if somebody else usurps him as the top back for
- 15:42Speaker 1: the Chargers, and then the Chargers end up getting rid
- 15:45Speaker 1: of him. They're going to say it's with cause because
- 15:46Speaker 1: of the injury, and then he'll say, well, no, it's superficial.
- 15:49Speaker 1: So he's got to kind of say that. But it
- 15:52Speaker 1: definitely was not a speck of dust. We've all gotten
- 15:55Speaker 1: that in the eye, right, You're like, oh, man, I
- 15:57Speaker 1: gotta water wash my eye out and all this stuff.
- 15:59Speaker 1: It was a fourth of July. It's like a psa
- 16:01Speaker 1: waiting to happen, is what it is. All right. Now,
- 16:03Speaker 1: final point to Jersey. We go not the Jersey Show.
- 16:07Speaker 1: We go to northern New Jersey, just across the way
- 16:09Speaker 1: from Manhattan, and that is where coach Brian Dayball, the
- 16:14Speaker 1: formerly wrote Ton coach, refusing refusing to reveal whether or
- 16:20Speaker 1: not rookie Jackson Dart or veteran famous Jameis Winston will
- 16:25Speaker 1: serve as the giants backup quarterback the season opener on
- 16:30Speaker 1: Sunday against the team formerly known as the Redskins. So question,
- 16:34Speaker 1: what is your reaction? What is your reaction to Giants
- 16:38Speaker 1: coach Brian Daboles depth chart deception. We'll call it the
- 16:42Speaker 1: depth chart deception refusing the name his backup quarterback between
- 16:48Speaker 1: Jackson Dart and Jameis Winston. So in this one, it
- 16:51Speaker 1: is a raspberry, it is a Raspberry beret. It's the
- 16:55Speaker 1: Prince of paranoia. Brian day Ball the prince of paranoia
- 16:59Speaker 1: here going with the psychological warfare, Like, dude, your team
- 17:05Speaker 1: blows like what are you doing? Seriously? Like, can someone
- 17:09Speaker 1: let Brian Dable know that it's not amusing, it's rather
- 17:14Speaker 1: stupid what you're doing. It is. It's like, well, I mean,
- 17:19Speaker 1: we got to use deception here. I me know, Spider
- 17:23Speaker 1: out of art. You're not guarding the nuclear codes. I
- 17:27Speaker 1: don't believe it's a backup quarterback on a dog food
- 17:31Speaker 1: NFL team. Just say the name, say my name, right,
- 17:36Speaker 1: and and by the way, if the commanders know the
- 17:40Speaker 1: playbook of the Giants, it wouldn't change the outcome. Like
- 17:46Speaker 1: the Giants could telegraph all the plays. It doesn't matter
- 17:49Speaker 1: whether the commanders know the players that don't know the plays,
- 17:51Speaker 1: it doesn't really change the outcome of the game. So
- 17:53Speaker 1: stop that, right, Like do the Giants think do they
- 17:57Speaker 1: have this neurosis where they're like, well, if we tell
- 17:59Speaker 1: the I we tell Washington or backup quarterback, then they're
- 18:03Speaker 1: gonna know and they're gonna change their entire defensive scheme.
- 18:07Speaker 1: Give me a break, Okay, just stop now. Russell Wilson
- 18:11Speaker 1: is thirty six. He is brittle, right, He's like kind
- 18:15Speaker 1: of like a bread stick. He's like a breadstick from
- 18:18Speaker 1: olive garden. You can kind of rip him in half
- 18:20Speaker 1: there and all that, and little Marinera on the side,
- 18:24Speaker 1: and and you know, the Giants likely know that Russ is.
- 18:28Speaker 1: If you were to bet on quarterbacks likely to get
- 18:31Speaker 1: hurt in Week one of the NFL, which is something
- 18:36Speaker 1: I'm not against doing injury bingo. We have done injury
- 18:38Speaker 1: bingo in the past, you'd put Aaron Rodgers in the
- 18:41Speaker 1: one spot. Russell Wilson would be pretty close behind Matthew
- 18:46Speaker 1: Stafford I would have at number two, but you'd have
- 18:48Speaker 1: Russell Wilson somewhere in the mix there on the on
- 18:52Speaker 1: the again, not a list, but a big board of
- 18:54Speaker 1: who's likely to get hurt at the quarterback position early
- 18:57Speaker 1: in the season, and so you're gonna need a backup.
- 19:00Speaker 1: And Brian Dayball is acting like it's a state secret here,
- 19:05Speaker 1: and you just roll your eyes at this, like what's
- 19:07Speaker 1: going on? So this is either Brian Dayball, the coach
- 19:10Speaker 1: of the Giants, coddling the Jackson Dart fanboys. He played
- 19:15Speaker 1: so well against guys who are now going to be
- 19:17Speaker 1: joining our friend Tree working for ups. He played so well, right,
- 19:22Speaker 1: they don't want to hurt his feelings or their feelings,
- 19:25Speaker 1: the Jackson Dart fanboys. Or he's covering for Jamis who

- 24:00Speaker 1: on the show. We had justin and Cincinnati was like
- 24:03Speaker 1: semi retired. Now just Josh as that Tyreek Hills stock
- 24:08Speaker 1: going over a cliff. We don't do this here, do
- 24:12Speaker 1: not late night drug testers hiss. NFL players should listen
- 24:16Speaker 1: to your PSAs. Remember I remember you saying every summer
- 24:20Speaker 1: holiday season Roman candles, they will blind you before you
- 24:24Speaker 1: see them. Yes, for years I was the king of PSAs,
- 24:29Speaker 1: although not so much anymore. Not so much anymore. We

- 24:38Speaker 1: very active. Timothy says bet be under NFL not for long.
- 24:43Speaker 1: Mister Irrigation also points out that he says, I don't
- 24:46Speaker 1: remember this. He says, years ago at number one on
- 24:50Speaker 1: the NFL's top one was Arion Foster, and then he
- 24:55Speaker 1: promptly shredded his ruin, which is unfortunate. Actually sat in
- 25:00Speaker 1: a immedia dining room prior to a Lakers game years
- 25:05Speaker 1: ago and Arion Foster was in the room and a
- 25:09Speaker 1: person came up to me that I did not know
- 25:11Speaker 1: and said, is that person over there, that gentleman is
- 25:14Speaker 1: hit Arion Foster, and I quickly turned to that person
- 25:18Speaker 1: and said, well, they're not wearing their uniform and their helmet.
- 25:21Speaker 1: I don't know, but it turned out it was it
- 25:24Speaker 1: was Arion Foster. There you go, little factoid for you,
- 25:29Speaker 1: a little bit of a factory fun fact. Andy and
- 25:33Speaker 1: Lionel Lake says, I thought that new song from Lucky
- 25:35Speaker 1: Tony was from the Monotone Mumbler the Mexican. John Dutton says,
- 25:42Speaker 1: grand theft Tony from the Bay Can Flow. He says,
- 25:46Speaker 1: ferg Dog ten out of ten on the song from
- 25:48Speaker 1: Lucky Tony. Give that man a benny right now? What
- 25:53Speaker 1: about a golden ticket? Well, if he calls up, we'll
- 25:56Speaker 1: give him a golden ticket. I really didn't think it
- 25:57Speaker 1: was that bad. I thought it was pretty good. I
- 26:00Speaker 1: was all right, he got on his phone just recording
- 26:02Speaker 1: something randomly. It's better than AI. That is, we don't
- 26:05Speaker 1: want a. We don't want AI. That was real the
- 26:09Speaker 1: Talent Show. That's a shocking position. We support human beings,
- 26:13Speaker 1: support human beings, we don't we Eventually that'll become taboo.
- 26:17Speaker 1: What are you having to stay? I what diday I
- 26:19Speaker 1: ever do to you? I said, we supported supposed to
- 26:22Speaker 1: support AI. You know, there'll be a group eventually. It's
- 26:25Speaker 1: like pro AI, right, but right now we're still allowed
- 26:28Speaker 1: to support human beings, so I support human beings. Terry
- 26:32Speaker 1: in England has also done a scent in a song.
- 26:35Speaker 1: Oh he did, so we can do a side by
- 26:38Speaker 1: side all right, Well we'll do that. We'll do that
- 26:39Speaker 1: a little bit later with the side by side thing,
- 26:41Speaker 1: for sure. Let's get to do you want me to
- 26:43Speaker 1: ruin it and play it early? No, No, you've already
- 26:46Speaker 1: You've already done enough damage. We're good on that. Let's
- 26:48Speaker 1: go to the phones and we'll say hello to any
- 26:50Speaker 1: meani money more. Andre is in the Commonwealth. Hello, Andre, Welcome,
- 26:57Speaker 1: good evening.
- 26:59Speaker 5: Wonderful to be with you. I am in the Commonwealth.
- 27:02Speaker 5: And I imagine mister Bill Belichick he might have some
- 27:05Speaker 5: nostalgia after what happened this evening. He might want to
- 27:09Speaker 5: return to the to the glory days and get on
- 27:12Speaker 5: back to the Commonwealth. I've been following and there have
- 27:15Speaker 5: been reports that people in North Carolina are investigating whether
- 27:20Speaker 5: or not mister Thomas Edward Patrick Brady has any more
- 27:24Speaker 5: eligibility remaining after a stint at Michigan. Right, because you
- 27:27Speaker 5: can play a little bit longer now with the nil
- 27:29Speaker 5: right and all the waivers, you know, you can play
- 27:31Speaker 5: like five six years. So that's been a trending narrative
- 27:35Speaker 5: long STI.
- 27:36Speaker 1: He should try to get Johnny Manziel to play for
- 27:38Speaker 1: him at this point, holy man, right.
- 27:42Speaker 5: Right, And you know we had some indications early on,
- 27:47Speaker 5: you know with Bill, you know, who is kind of
- 27:49Speaker 5: finding his inner millennial with some of the things that
- 27:53Speaker 5: are being posted on social media, right, you know, with him,
- 27:56Speaker 5: you know, putting people, putting the significant other up on
- 27:59Speaker 5: its feet, you know, and so she can be like,
- 28:01Speaker 5: you know, flying, you know, look like a scene from
- 28:03Speaker 5: Titanic there, you know. But you know, Bill, uh, there's
- 28:07Speaker 5: been concern, first of all for me because I thought
- 28:10Speaker 5: the mission was to usurp Don Shula and get that
- 28:15Speaker 5: NFL All time wins record. I thought that's what we
- 28:17Speaker 5: were locking into. And once the NFL teams didn't weren't
- 28:22Speaker 5: picking up what you were putting down, wouldn't give you
- 28:24Speaker 5: the complete control, so you couldn't get that NFL job.
- 28:27Speaker 5: And now you're veered, you know where nobody thought you were.
- 28:30Speaker 5: You said, Okay, I'm gonna go to college and I'm
- 28:32Speaker 5: gonna go to school that has no profile and because
- 28:34Speaker 5: you know they're looking, you know, just to get clicks
- 28:37Speaker 5: and name, you know, the don't bring me in. Doug Gone,
- 28:39Speaker 5: And I saw Michael Jordan, I saw Roy Williams, Randy
- 28:42Speaker 5: moss All in the press box. What to see the
- 28:45Speaker 5: tar Heels get the breaks beat off of them, not
- 28:47Speaker 5: even be competitive. Let you know, as much as I'm
- 28:51Speaker 5: holding out hope, Ben, I have to call it like
- 28:53Speaker 5: I see it. They only won four games the last
- 28:56Speaker 5: year he was here with the Patriots. It got progressively
- 28:58Speaker 5: worse after Tom Brady took his tame to Tampa Bay.
- 29:01Speaker 5: The ones like the last time Bill Belichick had like
- 29:03Speaker 5: a reasonable good season. That was the first year when
- 29:07Speaker 5: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers won the A.
- 29:10Speaker 1: Listen, they had seventy Who knows these? I was, I
- 29:13Speaker 1: buddy of mine. I heard, do you like in the
- 29:15Speaker 1: North Carolina game against TCUs. I'm not there's seventy new
- 29:18Speaker 1: players or whatever it is on North Carolina's impossible to know.
- 29:22Speaker 1: But if North Carolina should win their next two games,
- 29:25Speaker 1: they play at Charlotte, that football powerhouse Charlotte, and then
- 29:29Speaker 1: they play Richmond, so they should be sitting at two
- 29:32Speaker 1: and one after three games, and then then they play
- 29:36Speaker 1: some tougher competition and so we'll see how it goes.
- 29:39Speaker 1: But you know, it's like, yeah, it's bad right now.
- 29:42Speaker 1: It's as you know, Andre, it's never as bad at
- 29:44Speaker 1: the lowest. So people think this is the worst. It's
- 29:46Speaker 1: never that bad. You're always better than you know. They're
- 29:49Speaker 1: not forty eight to fourteen bad. They'll play better.
- 29:53Speaker 5: As I say, it's in Buttsworth, candy and nuts. We
- 29:55Speaker 5: don't have a merry Christmas. And looking at the North
- 29:58Speaker 5: Carolina schedule, you're right, there's a lot of cup takes in.
- 30:00Speaker 2: There, all right.
- 30:01Speaker 5: But if if the Emperor has no clothes, that's what
- 30:04Speaker 5: I'm getting at here. Okay, we're you know, chapel Bill.
- 30:07Speaker 5: We're looking at him because his name is Bill Belichick
- 30:10Speaker 5: as if he was the former man. At all I'm
- 30:13Speaker 5: saying is step after step after step after step have
- 30:16Speaker 5: said this guy, you know has lost touch.
- 30:19Speaker 1: No listen, I hear you. But he does want to
- 30:23Speaker 1: go back to the NFL. He does. He went to
- 30:25Speaker 1: North carol I figured if he puts a good team
- 30:27Speaker 1: on the field at North Carolina, he can go and
- 30:29Speaker 1: you spend a year or two there, and then you know,
- 30:32Speaker 1: mid seventy five if he goes back to the NFL
- 30:35Speaker 1: to try to win, good luck on that. At this point,
- 30:38Speaker 1: it's not looking so good on I think you have
- 30:40Speaker 1: a better chance Andre of coaching the Patriots than Belichick
- 30:43Speaker 1: does of coaching in the NFL in general.
- 30:45Speaker 5: Look, thank you so much. Being I we're gonna have
- 30:48Speaker 5: to sign some of the members of the Malon militia
- 30:50Speaker 5: up to come in there and help Bill. You know,
- 30:52Speaker 5: I just think he needs being all right, we'll get
- 30:54Speaker 5: some help. I'll sign Willis up to Willis is quiet,
- 30:57Speaker 5: He's going to be signed up as well.
- 30:58Speaker 1: All right, Bell, I was doing okay in the bedroom,
- 31:01Speaker 1: though apparently I gotta go. Thank you, Andre. Let's go
- 31:03Speaker 1: to Jerome and Charleston bringing home Jerome, Hello, Jerome.
- 31:08Speaker 2: Bill Beltick's doing good in the bed. Hi, Nay, Hell?
- 31:11Speaker 2: Would you know that? Why you think that she gets
- 31:15Speaker 2: to cut seeing a seventy something the old guy take
- 31:18Speaker 2: off his clothes. Women don't get it time and they
- 31:20Speaker 2: say me and I'm sixty nine. By the way, my
- 31:23Speaker 2: birthday was on Saturday. Hey, guess what I found out?
- 31:26Speaker 2: Chris Salin. I have to say him birthday. How do
- 31:29Speaker 2: you like that? I'm a little bit older than he is, though,
- 31:31Speaker 2: but he's like twenty five.
- 31:33Speaker 1: Hey, Jerome, can you for the for the advertisers? Can
- 31:36Speaker 1: you say you're thirty nine? Can you just chop thirty
- 31:38Speaker 1: years off? You say you're thirty nine? Can you say
- 31:41Speaker 1: you're the demo?
- 31:42Speaker 2: I'm trying to tell your demographics? Ben Bday.
- 31:45Speaker 1: Can you just pretend drume at your heart you're thirty nine?
- 31:49Speaker 1: Good at your heart, d You're not sixty nine, you're
- 31:51Speaker 1: thirty nine. Jerome and Charleston, I'm not.
- 31:54Speaker 2: Good at pretending. Ben. You can now look I got well,
- 31:57Speaker 2: David Jess, I gotta be me.
- 32:00Speaker 1: You gotta be me, you gotta be me. Loraina was
- 32:03Speaker 1: hoping for Sammy. Weren't you hoping, Loraina for Sammy Davis
- 32:06Speaker 1: Junior reference on the show? We got that. I was
- 32:09Speaker 1: waiting for that. It's good. I'm excited things.
- 32:12Speaker 2: Lorena is one of the most un serious people have
- 32:15Speaker 2: really she is. She comfantly drips sarcast I do.
- 32:21Speaker 1: Drip in sarcasm.
- 32:22Speaker 6: That's not a lot.
- 32:23Speaker 2: Lorena needs to get out more often.
- 32:25Speaker 1: Wow, No, she gets out a lot. My my girl, Lorena,
- 32:28Speaker 1: She's out there. She's she's enjoying Los Angeles for sure.
- 32:31Speaker 1: People might even say I need to sit down. You
- 32:33Speaker 1: might want to stay home a couple of nights there. More,
- 32:38Speaker 1: she's getting out, she's a she's in la socialite Lorena.
- 32:41Speaker 1: She gets invited to a lot of stuff. So they
- 32:44Speaker 1: definitely get kicked out a lot too. That's true.
- 32:46Speaker 2: Yeah, Belichick, you know what, I enjoyed every damn minute
- 32:51Speaker 2: of that because he has Oh he's coming to No.
- 32:56Speaker 1: He's the same. You were so worked up. You know,
- 33:03Speaker 1: I don't know what happened there, my god. But but
- 33:05Speaker 1: ESPN's got some problems because they have I think three
- 33:08Speaker 1: more Belichick games. They have, I believe three more games.
- 33:12Speaker 1: Uh so good luck on that. That's hey.
- 33:14Speaker 2: Let me ask you something is Kirk Hurbstreet, he's all alonge.
- 33:18Speaker 2: Has he been a artist? He's just starting to become one.
- 33:22Speaker 1: And we start starting to come one. I didn't a
- 33:26Speaker 1: con artist when they scored that first and then straight well,
- 33:33Speaker 1: but also remember Jerome the hot mic herb Street. He
- 33:37Speaker 1: denies it, but he was caught on Mike saying that
- 33:41Speaker 1: it sounded like he was saying North Carolina was really
- 33:43Speaker 1: bad into a hot mic and he said, Oh, I
- 33:44Speaker 1: didn't say that. Sounds like you said company man.
- 33:49Speaker 2: Just trying to be the good company.
- 33:51Speaker 1: Man he's making. He's what do you think Herbstreet makes
- 33:55Speaker 1: a couple of million a year? Does college? Does the NFL?
- 33:58Speaker 1: On Amazon? Many guy's loaded he's doing. You know, he
- 34:01Speaker 1: just has to speak in cliches and stuff. Gets to
- 34:03Speaker 1: bring his dog to him with him to the games.
- 34:06Speaker 1: I mean he's living a pretty good life, his dog
- 34:09Speaker 1: man because you know he's got a new dog though
- 34:11Speaker 1: that's the old dog. Ben was the old dog. But
- 34:13Speaker 1: he's got Peter, the new dog. That's one of the
- 34:16Speaker 1: bad things. But dogs don't live that long. That's one
- 34:18Speaker 1: of that. We love dog I'm a dog person. I
- 34:20Speaker 1: love dogs, but they don't live that long. That's unfortunate.
- 34:23Speaker 1: Like I have my I lost my dog Bella, who
- 34:26Speaker 1: had for years, and I got a new dog, Moxie.
- 34:28Speaker 1: But bulldogs don't live that long. So I'm on every
- 34:31Speaker 1: day I'm with Moxiem, Like I don't want to come
- 34:32Speaker 1: your end because they don't live that long.
- 34:34Speaker 2: So you gotta be careful how you treat people, how
- 34:37Speaker 2: you treat animals. Just gotta be careful.
- 34:39Speaker 1: Do you treat animals better? Or do you treat people better?
- 34:42Speaker 1: Because I think really the same. You treat people a
- 34:46Speaker 1: little better. I treat people better. All right, that's the positive.
- 34:51Speaker 1: This is positive, Jerome, positive bringing home to him. You
- 34:55Speaker 1: had a birthday. You have a big cake, Jerome. Did
- 34:56Speaker 1: you celebrate you got did you go out to dinner?
- 35:01Speaker 1: Did you do anything? Nothing? Jerome? That's very sad, Jerome.
- 35:05Speaker 1: Why would you not celebrate?
- 35:07Speaker 2: Look, man, I'm a recluse. I can't help it.
- 35:09Speaker 1: In Okay, attention advertisers, you can reach the sixty nine
- 35:13Speaker 1: year old recluse demographic here on the Ben Malers Show.

- 36:29Speaker 1: Green has the second most strikeouts by a red spitcher
- 36:32Speaker 1: in their first four career seasons with the franchise, behind
- 36:35Speaker 1: only Blank. That is the question, what is the answer
- 36:40Speaker 1: alf the alien opiner going with Raleigh Eastwick. That's pretty
- 36:44Speaker 1: funny Bringing home Jerome from Malard prop Guy That looks
- 36:47Speaker 1: like I imagine Jerome would. Look, what else do we have?

- 37:09Speaker 1: it's the great noodles Han noodles Han back in eighteen
- 37:15Speaker 1: ninety nine. Noodles Han.
- 37:18Speaker 7: Here we go, Here we go, here we go, Here
- 37:20Speaker 7: we got we got smell here we got that degree
- 37:23Speaker 7: next two days. This is one Big Ben gets cracked.
- 37:28Speaker 6: Good bo DJ Hawkinson was able to play ten games
- 37:32Speaker 6: last season after suffering a torn ACL and MCL the
- 37:35Speaker 6: year before, but he didn't make much of an impact
- 37:37Speaker 6: had zero touchdowns. Hawkinson said he's one of the best
- 37:40Speaker 6: route running tight ends in the league and this year
- 37:42Speaker 6: he'll make a clear impact.
- 37:44Speaker 2: Ben.
- 37:44Speaker 6: Are you up or down on high?
- 37:45Speaker 1: Well? I think we should point he places for the
- 37:46Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings to play with the Lions for a long time.
- 37:48Speaker 1: He's been in Minnesota a little bit. It's important for
- 37:50Speaker 1: the Vikings. And here's why. When things get tough in
- 37:53Speaker 1: Minnesota and who knows what JJ McCarthy's gonna do. They
- 37:56Speaker 1: think he'll be good. But normally the safety blanket is
- 37:59Speaker 1: the tie. So in order for this to work in Minnesota.
- 38:02Speaker 1: They need him to be good. So I am optimistic.
- 38:05Speaker 1: I'm Benny Brightside. Hockinson will be okay next.
- 38:08Speaker 6: Tom Brady said in an interview on Sunday that the
- 38:10Speaker 6: league has shifted towards emphasizing physical attributes in a quarterback
- 38:13Speaker 6: rather than mental ones.
- 38:15Speaker 1: Is he right? Absolutely? It is all about they call him.
- 38:19Speaker 1: I hate this term measurables at the combine. It's all
- 38:21Speaker 1: about the raw and greed. It's it's like it's same
- 38:24Speaker 1: thing in baseball. Like baseball, if you can pitch, they
- 38:27Speaker 1: don't want you. If you can throw ninety eight miles
- 38:29Speaker 1: an hour and can't pitch, they want you. In football,
- 38:32Speaker 1: they want the biggest, strongest, fastest. But if you're actually
- 38:34Speaker 1: mentally sharp and know how to play the game, you
- 38:37Speaker 1: don't throw it that well, eh, or you're not as
- 38:39Speaker 1: strong e.
- 38:40Speaker 6: Next poll of NFL coaches and executives put Joe Burrow
- 38:44Speaker 6: as the leading candidate to win MVP this season. Meanwhile,
- 38:47Speaker 6: Lamar Jackson still has the best odds in Vegas. Who
- 38:50Speaker 6: do you think has the better shot?
- 38:51Speaker 1: Yeah? So I like Burrow. The Bengals sucked last year.
- 38:54Speaker 1: They weren't a playoff team, the Ravens, have been consistently good.
- 38:57Speaker 1: There's also voter fatigue for Lamar Jackson. Even though he
- 39:00Speaker 1: didn't win last year, he has won multiple MVP Awards,
- 39:04Speaker 1: so he would have to go above and beyond to
- 39:05Speaker 1: win another one. I like Burrow. I don't like the
- 39:09Speaker 1: fact that everyone else kind of likes Burrow too. That
- 39:11Speaker 1: bothers me. That means that's probably not gonna happen. But
- 39:14Speaker 1: I would pick Burrow over Lamar. How did we do?
- 39:16Speaker 1: It's mallet of the third degree. He passes. That is
- 39:18Speaker 1: a win. I won.
- 39:20Speaker 2: I won the right up.
- 39:21Speaker 1: That's a win. Put that on my storecard, right down.
