Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our nime. Berth three, our three
of our radio program. A brainbuster out of the Delaware Valley.
The star quarterback of the Philadelphia Eagles. Beloved Philly, the
last team that has yet to lose in the NFL,

(00:22):
but their quarterback is a fan of the cheating a
Stros He was asked about that. What grade do you
give Jalen Hurt's response when asked about his baseball fandom?
And do you believe that Hurts is legitimately pulling for
the Phillies in the World Series or is he just

(00:42):
pretending to jump on the Philly bandwagon? And does the
speak of the Eagles? Does the Robert Quinn trade from Chicago?
Does that rise to the level of blockbuster status? Many
in the NFL media convinced this is a blockbuster trade.
We'll talk about that and much more right now here.

(01:03):
It is our number three. A fandom quagmire. Well come man,
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mallers Show.
As we are in the air everywhere, one on one,
as we watch out for piracy coast stuck coast border

microphones of fs are emanating live from the wound as

we get going this hour and the world series gets
going tomorrow. Tomorrow Game one of the Fall Classic, which

(02:12):
is really not that classic this year. This matchup to
Phillies making the change. It was supposed to be Zach Wheeler,
but instead it'll be Aaron Nola in Game one Friday night,
deep in the heart of Texas. Justin Verlander will be
on the mound there for the Strows and Houston a

(02:33):
minus one sixty two favorites, so they are the projected
winner of Game one at home, with Verlander getting seventy
five percent of the money, the early money. But that's
not what we're here to talk about. The story does
come out of the Delaware Valley, not in Houston. No, no,
no, no no, I'm not talking about Houston here. It's more

(02:54):
about well, we are kind of talking about its more
Philadelphia story. So the Eagles, the football team in Philadelphi
football team. They're getting ready for the game this weekend
against the Steelers the Keystone State showdown. There the six
and oh record on the line. Their quarterback, Jalen Hurts, though,
has been attempting to put out a wild fire. It

(03:16):
was ignited by some wardrobe choices that he made in
the past that have come back around on social media.
Some old photos of Jalen Hurts, who is from Houston
and was rocking the colors of the Cheating a Stros,
have come back to bite him in the tuckas the

(03:39):
cyber mothballs that have made the rounds now. This presents
a speed pump for Jalen Hurts, who is the headliner
of the again the NFL team there in Philadelphia, and
wants everyone to love him. It would certainly seem like
he is pulling against the hometown baseball team in Philly
and he does not want to see them win the

(04:00):
World the team from Houston to win. So Hurts was
asked about his split fan allegiances as the World Series
is set to begin. In the Eagles quarterback he answered
the question, I don't know if you heard what he
had to say or not. Well, let's go to the
audio tape. Here's Jalen Hurts on dealing with being an
Astro fan and apparently a Philly fan. What I'm Houston

(04:23):
borner raised. Um, I love my city, you know, that's
my hometown. But my home now is Philly, you know,
and I love this city too. That's how I deal
with it, is all right. So there you go, Houston,
Houston born and raised. I love my city, that's my hometown.
Blah blah blah. Art. So the media is convinced that
Jalen Hurts is going to be cheering for the Phillies.

(04:43):
So let us discuss. Now, what grade do you give
Jalen Hurts for the response that you just heard on
the Mallard report card, which is the report card record.
I give Jalen Hurts a let's see here, a B minus.
I'm giving him a B minus. I've got deploy oma,
tactical error, and safe and sane, and we will connect

(05:06):
all of these things together and we are going to
make a tasty cake, which is what the Philadelphia fan
will be eating once the Phillies win the World Series.
A lot of tasty cakes. As they climb up the
signals and the stop signs and all that around the
greater Philadelphia area. So, first of all, Jalen Hurts, this answer,

(05:27):
the answer we played very political, right, the honorable congress
person originally from Texas, Jalen Hurts, he knew the question
was coming. He knew the line of questioning was coming.
The photos of him rocking that ugly Houston merchandise are
all over the microblogging websites, the social networks. It was

(05:49):
going to come up. You knew it was going to
come up in the weekly fireside chat. So he was
prepared the answer. Get he gets a B minus on
the mount of report card, as we said, because while
he was for the most part centered the answer, which
has had legs here, the answer we played showed that

(06:09):
he is the paragon of objectivity, right, But what was
he really doing? Like when you pull back the onion,
Jalen Hurts was putting on a show for the cameras,
getting the most from his diploma. He has a bachelor's
degree in public relations from Alabama, and I don't think

(06:30):
he got his master's, but he was taking classes in
Oklahoma in human relations. So Hurtz knows how to navigate
his way circumventing the obstacle course, and he certainly is
aware of human tendencies and how to pacify people that
might be upset. Now, secondly, do you believe honestly that
Jalen Hurts is going to be pulling for the Phillies

(06:54):
in the World Series? And I'm shaking my head now,
Not that it really matters, but I'm shaking my head now.
You would have to be blissfully ignorant to think that
Hurts is all of a sudden a real Phillies fan.
This guy was Houston born, Houston bread, and when he dies,
he'll be Houston dead. He's playing both sides of the

(07:18):
fence against the middle. Now, what is my evidence? Let
me make my case here, because it turns out that
while Jalen Hurts the answer that's been bouncing around is
a pretty good answer, he also incriminated himself. Let me
lay out that case here. So Hurts was also asked
if he's checked out the fighting fills during this playoff
run to get to the World Series, and that your

(07:41):
honor is when he made a tactical error. Now take
a listen for yourself, as Jalen Hurts was asked about
watching the Phillies and supporting them. Listen, I watch the
games a lot of I mean, I like to salute.
How do you say his name? Sigura? I love how

(08:01):
he plays with a lot of swag. I feel like
and I think harp just always you know, yeah, always
show us up. So I'm decided to you know, share
him on his week. Oh that's so good. Oh my god,
that's a tech. So Jean Sigura, who is the guy
he's talking about? They called him Captain Clutch because he
had sucked and he got a big hit the other day.
But he called, can we play that beginning part again? Roberto?

(08:25):
He called Jean Sagara Sidu? Uh, let's let's go play again? Here?
I got here, Yeah, I watch. I watched the games
a lot of. I mean, I like to salute. How
do you say his name, dude? Sidu? How do you do? Sid? So?
Jean Siaga. It's not like the Phillies just picked him off.

(08:48):
Like he's been with the Phillies for four seasons since
twenty nineteen. He's playing over four hundred games in Philadelphia. So,
in other words, the prosecution rests on mister Hurts. Being
a fan of the Philadelphia Phillies. And I'm worried that
Jalen Hurts is gonna end up in the injury tent

(09:09):
getting whiplash as he faked bandwagon jumps becoming a Phillies fan.
And the guy, he's gonna be that guy that still
has the tags on the jersey. You know that guy?
Right They just bought the jerseys at the team gift
shop and they're out at the stadium, like we know that.
In his closet right now, he's got a full wardrobe

(09:29):
of astro merchandise. He's got a lot of cheating astro
merch In private, he'll be screaming and shouting and pulling
for the a holes. Now turning the page. Final thoughts.
So we got a big trade go to the transaction

(09:49):
wire for Jalen Hurts NFL team. The Eagles pulled off
what the NFL Network reported was a blockbuster trad for
defensive end Robert Quinn from the Chicago Bears. Robert Quinn
medicine man. The Bears got a fourth round pick in
the trade. So the question on this one, thumbs up

(10:13):
or thumbs down. Does the Robert Quinn deal rise to
the level of high crimes, misdemeanors and blockbusters status. And
the answer on this one after a thorough minutes long
Mallard investigation, two thumbs down, two thumbs down. Not not
a blockbuster. This is a safe, insane trade. These are

(10:35):
the kind of fireworks that do not fly, They do
not explode. Family friendly for every holiday or occasion. This
is not a blockbuster. It's not. Robert Quinn is a
pigskin gypsy. He has been living out of a suitcase
for years, always on the move, one step ahead of
the NFL football hobo journeyman is what we used to

(10:56):
say back in the day. The Eagles will now be
Robert Quinn's fourth NFL team and check that, checked that
his fifth NFL team. He was with the Rams for
a while, but in recent years he's gone from the
Dolphins to the Cowboys, to the Bears, and now soon
he will be in Philadelphia. Most of that migration has

(11:17):
happened since twenty eighteen, and we'll see how he assimilates
into Philadelphia. And some of the more optimistic bright Side
reporters are saying, well, he was getting double teamed all
the time in Chicago and he won't be anymore and
big numbers and all that, rigamar roar. The plan for
Robert Quinn defensive star is to be a backup. Many

(11:41):
people are pointing out he had eighteen and a half
sacks in twenty twenty one for Chicago, But the real
question is what have you done for me lately? And
that's the big selling point. But he hasn't been that
guy this year, in the present, in the here and now,
he's not been that guy. And it makes you one
how big an admiration twenty twenty one was, because the

(12:03):
eighteen and a half sacks is really good, big season
all that. The year before that, Robert Quinn had two
sacks in twenty twenty and this season Quinn has been
a non factor. He's played three hundred snaps and has
one more sack than you do and one more sack
than I do. One sack this season, and he's hit

(12:24):
the quarterback exactly two times. In other words, this guy
has been a by standard, been a by standard. He's
also thirty two years old, which means he's at the
tail end of his athletic prime. So that's the guy
the Eagles are getting. We'll see how it turns out
and Robert Quinn has an opportunity talking about a brass
ring opportunity here to go to Philadelphia on a much

(12:46):
better team and playing some big games. And we'll see
if he rises to the occasion or not. All right,
is the Ben Maller Show of coming up a little
bit later this hour. We have asked band your questions

I think this might be fake or it's a burner
account for Goldilocks. He says he was scanning the radio
dial the other night and he heard this show and

(14:17):
heard me talk about almond butter, and he said he
loves almond butter, and because of that, he'd never heard
almond butter mentioned on sports radio. And so he is
now a fan of the show because we mentioned almond butter. Yeah,
clearly not paying close attention to the context. We mentioned

(14:39):
almond butter in but whatever, whatever strikes your fancy, whatever
gets to going there, why not. And our friend Ruth,
she said that she enjoyed us goofing on Russell Wilson

(15:24):
to the international line and a man who hangs out
with kangaroos in his spare time. Ozzy was hello, Ozzy was, hey,
you're doing big Ben welcome? Yeah, I think yeah, this
is the this is the part you talk here. Hello, Hello,

(15:46):
do you want to get on the air? Yeah? Oh
here Ben? Yeah, yeah good. Ozzy was, how's every part
of Australia? Are you in? Uh the wait till area
right in the middle of West Australia. Yeah, all right?
What's that country? Like kind of paint a painting mosaic,
a word picture like? Is it? What kind of what
kind of geography are we looking at there? Nicely? White

(16:09):
farms is a bit of bush lane? What a mons?
We're in the place? Okay, thank got you? All right?
So farming area, how can we help you? Azzi was, oh, no,
just tell me in area? Where can microphone call for
a chance, so I thought, well, I can listen more
of him, right, yeah, for sidewise. Yeah, and you've you've

(16:30):
been avoiding the kangaroos, right, I've seen another couple, but
I've had a Jason's got rid of prey quent. Yeah. Yeah,
that's a great. So I was I was bragging about
that story. You you you told the story AZZI was right,
your car, you were listening to the show, and an
angry kangaroo destroyed your car? Right? That is that is correct?

(16:53):
Jumped into the sword. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we don't have
to worry about that here. So, like, kangaroos look pretty cool.
I've never meta kangaroo. Are they really mean and nasty
or what? What? What's the demeanor of most of the
kangaroos that you've come across. Yeah, I didn't plan and
they're not really able. I just and no, I get
respects by the lots and run towards the lots of

(17:15):
the car. Oh so they they're oh wow, so they
just they I didn't know it. So it's kind of
we have deer and stuff like that. You're gonna avoid
the deer, but they don't. They usually kind of freeze.
They don't run at the car, so the kangaroo sees
the lights and then that's interesting. I didn't know that. Yeah, yeah,
and then then Recot i Amy's ring up in down
the road as well, so I gotta watch that then too. Yeah. Man,

(17:37):
it's it's the wild wild West there, Ozzys where you
are right there in Australia. It is all right, buddy, Well,
thanks for listening. I don't want to run up your
phone bill. I know it's it's expensive to call international,
but I'm glad you're you're a super fan. I I
appreciate your email, and I love those photos. I was
bragging to some relatives, is it a some cousins that

(17:57):
were asking me about the show, and I said, yeah,
there is this guy in Australia and he sent out
some photos. This guy as he was and his car
got destroyed. He says he was listening to the show
in his kangaroo like attacked his car. It's like that
doesn't happen every day. That's that's pretty well. That's going
to Nick. Nick is back in the States here in

(18:18):
Northern California in Berkeley. What's going on? Nick? Welcome, You're
on Fox Sports Radio. What's I've been, I've been. It's
a topsy turvy NFL. You know, Up is down down
his cast are hanging out with dogs. The world's gone mad.
But I'll tell you what, man, last time I check,
you can't divide twenty seven by zero, but you can
divide zero by twenty seven and then get you nothing.

(18:41):
So I'm like, dude, down by five going into the
fourth quarter, Shanahan is, oh, in twenty seven, I'm like, bro, like,
do you think the team believes in you? Like the
fans don't. If we're down and by after five, I mean,
I'm staying to the last sick. But I'm just like, then,
what is going on with the NFL? I mean, you know,
we're we're fifth up their penalties, but even the Jets

(19:02):
and the Giants are leading the league almost a penalties
and they're they're in first life. Yeah that is not ideal.
As you know, Nick, you are they cut you open?
You bleed not read forty nine? Are red is if
they cut Nick open? But yeah, that's that is is
unbecoming of a head coach. The good news, though, Nick,
is you're playing the Rams this weekend, and we know
in the regular season that is usually a bludgeoning in

(19:26):
favor of the forty nine ers, but that doesn't guarantee
that it will be the same this week. And the
Rams are coming off a bye week and the nine
Ers have some guys out, But that's the match the NFL.
There are by my count, three good teams. That's it.
The Eagles, the Bills, and the Chiefs, and that's all.
I don't think there's anyone else. I don't. I'm not

(19:47):
convinced on the Vikings. I don't think anyone else is
all that good. No, I don't either. I think I think.
I think we're going to bounce back and definitely and
definitely take it down the stretch. But let me tell
you something, and every Seattle Seahawks fan knows this. Seattle
is the dirtiest team by far man. They are dirty
as they come. They need to league and penalties actually speak.
They tackle your ankles, they sliding together and they twist

(20:09):
while another cat hits you like the out the Nixon
cuts of a blade from a olden the Ruckle Raiser.
They're dirty. Why I just slip down to the rims.
He tried to take out my boy kittles last year
towards knee of almost vincing back. Luckily he does yoga
and was able to squirm out of it. But I'm like, man,
Seattle is dirty, and they know they're dirty. Even if
fans will tell you that they're dirty. They should shower then, Nick,

(20:33):
they should get some soul. Yeah, they need to shower. Yeah,
all right, Nick, my man, you want are you calling
for the firing of Shannon? Are you? Are you saying
that if he doesn't turn this around here, you're gonna
fire his ass? Well? I mean I wouldn't just go
there yet, because if you look at some of our
past coaches, then it was a circus. It was a
maniery of ridiculousness and despair. But I mean it's just like,

(20:58):
come oh, man, I mean Shannon what like he runs
he runs my boy McCaffrey on the A gap or
the V gap whatever it is, straight up the middle
like eighteen times, and eighteen times it didn't work. I'm like, well,
that's concessis the only place. That's the only play they
taught him? Was that one place? Just how about how
about tackle? No? No? The only taught him one play?

(21:23):
He was he could only remember one play he's not
that bright McCaffrey. So they had a good way, but
he didn go to Stanford, so maybe isn't that bright.
I don't know, all right, Nick, Thank you, buddy, good
complaining there. I always love the complaints for the hometown team,
and you certainly did a lot of that, so good
job by you. All right, it is the Bennet Mather Show.
So no hedging at the garden party, Mattress Mac. He's back,

(21:46):
Mattress Mac. If the cheating a Stros end up winning
the World Series, he will win seventy five million dollars.
That will be the largest legal payout in the history
of professional sports gambling in America. This is a lot
of dough here, Mattress Mac is set to make. But

(22:07):
since he has so much invested in the Astros, he
has an opportunity to hedge his bets. He's already placed
a bunch of bets for about ten million dollars in
the neighborhood at ten million. Now, this guy, Mattress Mac.
The way this works, He's not the only guy to
do this, He's the most famous guy to do it.
So the bid is, if you go into his warehouse

(22:28):
in Houston, any of his stores and you buy a
sofa or you buy a bed or whatever you might be.
And if the Astros end up winning the World Series
because he's in Houston, then everything is free. You don't
have to pay for anything. And so the way he
gets around that is he covers himself by usually betting

(22:50):
on whoever's in the World Series against the Astros. This
time though, he bet on the Astros, and he says
that he is not going to hedge his bets. He
had an opportunity that he can bet on the Phillies
and he refuses. He says to place any money on
the Phillies of people saying, well, what's up with that? Well,
it's not that big a deal. And i'll tell you why.

(23:10):
You know how much money Mattress mac is worth three
hundred million dollars. Three hundred million dollars. So I think
he'll be okay, and I don't think he's got much
to worry about here. I think I think he's gonna
be fine. And if it does end up where it
looks like the Phillies are gonna win the World Series,

(23:31):
it gets to that point. At that point, he can
then put some big bets down if he changes his mind,
but there's not much to worry about. Be sure to

(24:18):
New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones took the majority of
first team reps in practice Wednesday. He's reportedly projected to
be the starter Sunday against the Jets. Andy Dalton gonna
start again at quarterback for the Saints in their Week
eight matchup against the Raiders as Jameis Winston still unable
to go. And you mentioned this earlier, but Broncos quarterback
Roulse Wilson limited in practice. They're over in London. Are

(24:39):
the Broncos to play this weekend? He's got a hamstring
injury that had caused him to miss the game last week,
but he told reporters that he intends to play in
that game. This is high stepping right now, Eddie, that's right.
Is he's going to buck Hotel Palace high he's high
stepping with the guards at Buckingham Palace right now, unless

(25:00):
he's not. Yeah. I don't know that they do that,
but maybe they don't. They have the changing of the guard.
They do they do? Yeah, they don't high step, not really,
not that I recalled. No, oh you were there? Yes,
did you buy one of those hats? I did not
buy one of those hats? How much do they cost
in the gift shop? I don't know. Probably quite a lot. Yeah,

(25:21):
a lot of pounds. I got you? All right? Is
that it? I think that's it? There you go, all right?
Thank you for that. Idiot? Is the Bennett Mathers Show
As we continue on and Bo Jackson. Bo Jackson did
a recent interview Big Star back in the eighties and
the nineties, mostly of the eighties, but bo Jackson talked
about a number of things. He also was asked who

(25:43):
which sport has a brighter future. He said, between the
NFL and Major League Baseball. That seems like a no brainer.
Boat played both sports professionally, played for the r eighties
and the Kansas City Royals the White side, and bo
Jackson surprisingly said that while both of them have grown

(26:04):
a big, big amount here he said he would go
with baseball. He said, baseball has a brighter future. But
Bow going out. Bow knows he's on an island there,
he said. Because of the salaries. He said, because of
the salaries and all the rights and all that stuff.
So he said baseball. And it is true, you can

(26:25):
make a lot more money in baseball for a lot
longer period of time than you can in the NFL.
But even that's starting to change now. If you're a
top flight quarterback, you're gonna get forty million dollars a year.
It's insane. That's why they screw over the fans with
the price of tickets and all that other, all that
other stuff that we have to buy. It's a big
part of it. So anyway, let's get to here we go.

(26:47):
It's time now to strike up the band. We've got
questions flown, and here we go. It's now time for
time four as Twitter. Send us your questions on Twitter
now and the way we go, there's asked your questions,
our answers for the rest of the hour, and now

(27:10):
for the reading of the questions that we will not
thumb our nose at. It's like cracking a coconut the
Kopa loop. All right, the first question we're gonna do
those from Mango Alex. All right, you want to know,
have you guys ever cheated on a test before any
kind of test? Well, as you know, I do not

(27:30):
believe in cheating, so there's no reason to cheat. It
was much harder to cheat back in the old days,
and now now it's I feel like it's a lot
easier with the technology to cheat. But but serious I did.
I did occasionally peek across the table. I did a
little peekaboo, but I seem to pick the wrong people

(27:53):
because they didn't didn't really help me. What about you, Eddie, Well,
first of all, you do cheat all the time. That
is incorrect. You're a cheater on the show. Everyone knows that.
It's a complete lot. That's why you you claim I
cheat because you're borried about your own sins. Yes, yes,
yeah I did. I absolutely cheated on tests occasionally when
I was in high school in college and make a
little like cheat sheet, you know, a little piece of

(28:15):
you right in your hand or no, no, no, you
make a cheat sheet, yeah, and you write some answers
on there are some things that you want to make
sure you remember. Where do you hide it? At it now?
You put in your pocket, if your sleeve? Do you
ever I mean when you're when you were when I
was in college, we had we had about these blue
books all the time, and you just you just put
it in the blue book. Was pretty easy. Did you

(28:35):
ever get caught? No, never got caught. Did you come
close to getting caught? Not that I recall? No? Really Yeah,
they just let your cheat freely. I mean, you know,
they get paid regardless. They don't really care. Yeah, they
probably figure outs you're you know, you know when you
become an adult, you're gonna wish you actually knew this crap. Yeah.
I never I never used any of that stuff. That's true.
Neither do I. What about you? Oh yeah, high school

(28:59):
is a cheat all that time? Man? Why not? What
was your technique, were you like Eddie, would you do
some different thing? He well, somebody we used to passed
around like we had in this one class, a geometry
mister Woodley. He played in the NFL. It was an
NFL he was then in the NFL. It was alignment
and then uh, it was a geometry teach. Our geometry
teacher who were right next to the cafeteria. So whenever

(29:20):
it was whenever it was time for tests, he will
like spread us out in the cafeteria. But somebody had
like like a note with all the answers. It was
just like everybody would just pass it around and Woodley
would not carry He was just sitting down in this corner.
One of my favorite, one of my favorite memories in school,
we had a substitute teacher and one of the kids
in class had stolen the teacher's guide. Oh night, and

(29:42):
then and then we were playing hot and cold with
the teacher. They were trying to get the guide back.
It was what about you coop, Oh yeah, oh yeah, definitely. Um.
High school was it was pretty easy, like you did
the scantron things and so you could just look over
at the like the like I made sure to sit

(30:04):
next to all the smart kids. Yeah, and you just
you just look over it and it's like, you know
there usually with the Scamtron test, it's multiple choice answers.
So if it's if it's a little dark spot all
the way to the left, it's a sol. The way
to the right it's D. And then you know, sometimes
you might get B and C messed up, but you know,
at least it's fifty fifty odds there. Yeah, and then

(30:28):
uh yeah, college college is easy. The same thing as
Eddie the cheat sheet. And then you you would put
the cheat sheet in the uh like the you know
t I T eighty five calculators because they had like
a lid that you would slide off and you just
put it on the back of the lid there and
that's easy. And I also this one. I probably shouldn't
say this one, uh because it's fine now. But when

(30:50):
I first got my driver's license, I didn't want to
have that sticker on my license that said that I
wore glasses because I didn't want to have to always
wear my glasses or get a ticket if I wasn't
wearing my glasses or whatever. So I kind of cheated
on the on the vision test at the DMV. What
did you go in and memorize it before? Well, no,
because my left eye is way better than my right eye,

(31:14):
and you know you're supposed to use the You're supposed
to like close one eye and read the letters and
then close the other eye and read the letters. And
when I had to close my left eye, I really
just kind of like left up. It opened a little bit. Yeah,
so I could read the letters. Yeah, take that DMV.
I think I think you were gone, Coop. But we
were talking about somehow this came up vision and Ben

(31:36):
was saying that he went to the optometers and the
guy was like, oh my god, you have to unique glasses. Yeah.
I went to but I thought I needed reading glasses
and the guys like, you're pretty much blind, you need
I went to the DMV and it's like, you, Coop,
my left eye is great, but my right eye discovered
is not good. And I covered up my left eye.
I was like, holy crapped, I can't read any of this.

(31:59):
And somehow I just guessed riot and they renewed my license.
But I was like, oh my god, I gotta go
to the doctor get that checked out. Let's possible the cause.
