It's our number three. Hour three. Ready to go. And we start out on the Ben Maller Show. Hour three on this third day of November.
In Tallahassee, Florida, our buddy Jed who fled loves the Seminoles. And Jed, not probably happy about this, but the story is Florida State, the Seminoles, they have a coaching opening. Is Florida State making the right decision by reportedly passing on Deion Sanders? They don't have any interest in Deion Sanders. Has Larry Zonka's annual celebration of the last undefeated NFL team losing officially played out? He cracked open the box of stogies and had a drink. Have Colts fans officially reached their breaking point with the Daniel Jones experiment?
as it appears they will be going to Daniel Jones again, despite his incompetence. All of that and more right about now. Here it is, our number three. It is a seminal moment, but not a good one. Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Maller Show. We are in the air everywhere, arm in arm as we climb the ladder.
Climate up, up, up, up, and away. That's right. Coast to coast, border to border, and beyond on the vast and epically powerful microphones of FSR emanating live from the smell. Oh, the smell of something burning. I don't know what that is. It doesn't smell good. It's getting in my lungs. If I start coughing all of a sudden, I got a cough button, so it's all good here. Guaranteed human from the world-famous Fox Sports Radio studios where Rod, the ambassador of Bakersfield, reminds us that this hour made possible in part by our friends at Express.

Through the magic of talk radio. It's an amazing thing. It's an absolute amazing thing. I know. Not a burner's excited here. There is nothing to see here. It's all good. There's nothing to see. There's some stuff to smell. You can definitely smell. You can't see anything, but you can definitely smell some stuff. If I pass out, call an ambulance. It's all good. All good. This is hazard pay. We're getting hazard pay. No? Okay. I'll leave this hour from college football. And we go to Tallahassee. I'm so old. When I was a kid, Florida State used to have really good football teams. Really, really good football teams. That's a sign. You're old. They haven't been good in a long time. But Florida State.
has decided on at least one possible candidate after they whacked head coach Mike Norvell over the weekend. And it turns out that the Florida State Seminoles said to have little to no interest, little to no interest in hiring Deion Sanders to replace Norvell. If you saw this story or not, it's been bouncing around here. Boots on the ground. Boots on the ground in Tallahassee. Say despite Deion being a legendary figure of Seminoles gone by, Deion Sanders is not a preferred candidate at FSU.
Now, we're hearing that the Florida State Seminoles leadership considers the controversy and distractions that surround Deion Sanders undesirable, undesirable, as they are attempting a, quote, major rebuild, close quote. Major rebuild. Sanders has a tarnished relationship with FSU. It's strained. Why? Well, he went out and recruited Travis Hunter, who's now in the NFL, away from Florida State. That left a bad taste, a sour taste in the mouth of the seminal boosters. Allegedly. Were they going to sue me? So that is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss. The question, is Florida State making the right decision by reportedly passing, rejecting, Deion Sanders?
All right, so I've got payphone, overhead projector, and Surgeon General's warning. And we combine all of these things together, and we're going to give you the genuine article. We're going to give you the genuine article. We are. All right, now to lead off here, that is a no with an exclamation point to answer the question, is Florida State making the right decision by passing on Deion Sanders? A no with an exclamation point. And here's why. I love the fact that the reporting around Florida State football is we want stability.
We want stability. Stability is what you look for in a marriage, not in a college football program. Does anyone disagree? FSU was worried about distractions, according to the reporting. Well, isn't that special? They're worried about distractions. By the way, losing football games in Tallahassee, this just in, distraction. Distraction.
And so Florida State trying to search for the next Bobby Bowden. The problem with that is when they hired Bobby Bowden, they didn't realize they got Bobby Bowden. Just kind of fell into Bobby Bowden, right? So good luck trying to find the next Bobby Bowden. And even if you found the next Bobby Bowden, would that even work in the modern landscape?
You might as well search for a payphone at a Taylor Swift concert. You'll have just as much luck finding a payphone at a Taylor Swift concert. College football is the wild, wild west. You got the NIL money. You have the NWO, not the wrestling, the new world order. The new world order in college sports. Transfer portals, billionaire sugar daddy boosters out in public, not even hiding like they used to have to hide where the guys got jobs, like Nick Saban had his guys getting those sweetheart deals at the car dealerships in Tuscaloosa. Hide it. Now you don't really have to hide it as much. It's the new world order. And it sounds to me, based on the comments coming out,
around the Florida State football program. It sounds to me like Florida State is acting like it's 1996. This just in, it's not 1996. Yeah, it's been a minute, been 30 years. Which is crazy to me, it's been 30 years, but it's been 30 years. And college football, back in the old days, college football was about recruiting relationships. Now it's about recruiting relationships with people who have private islands. Big, giant islands in the Caribbean. They're just ready to go, ready to go. You've got the NCAA transfer portal.
Which, to use the proper analogy, it's kind of like Amazon Prime for college football. It is. It's like Amazon Prime for college football. You order a quarterback on Monday, next day delivery, you get two linebackers on Tuesday, you get that delivered on Wednesday, and then by the time you're done on Saturday, you have the ingredients for a winning roster. So the idea that you have to do a rebuild, there's no rebuilding. A great example, Indiana, right? Indiana, within a couple of years.
They brought in, Signetti brought the guys in from his last school. They won. UCLA right now is a top five football program. The UCLA Bruins. And they were an absolute dumpster fire a year ago. Hired the right coach. He brought his guys with him. And abracadabra, hocus pocus, all of a sudden you win. So this idea that you're doing a long-term rebuild is just ridiculous. Who's buying that bull crap? Seriously. Now listen, I'm not going to say Deion's done a great job in Colorado. He's done very good in terms of marketing. He's done a wonderful job. He sure has done that. His record, if you're...
Being kind, you'll say he has a choppy record, which is code for he sucks. Colorado football's an embarrassment with Deion Sanders coaching. But college football isn't about yesterday's record anymore. It is. It's about tomorrow's payroll, and it sounds like Deion, if these reports are accurate, he has a rocky relationship with the Boosters, which is the main issue. That's the main problem. Furthermore, to the way back machine we go, where Larry Zonka, mentioned this earlier in the show, but Larry Zonka celebrating the Lions handing the previously 6-0 Minnesota Vikings their first loss over the weekend, eliminated the NFL's final unbeaten team, knocked off, there will not be an unbeaten team, the 79-year-old Larry Zonka posting a photo there holding up a stogie, and he had a nice drink.
And he wrote, cheers to all my 72 undefeated teammates. That's from Larry Zonka. The loss ensures, guarantees, that the 1972 Dolphins will remain the NFL's only perfect team with a wink and a nod to the Patriots who were perfect until they lost the Super Bowl. Miami that year played 14 regular season games, if I remember correctly. They then won three other games. So they finished with 17 wins. And Larry Zonka was the leading rusher back in the day, back in his salad days for the Miami Dolphins with 1,100 yards rushing and six touchdowns. So here's the question. Has Larry Zonka...
And his annual celebration of the last undefeated NFL team losing officially played out. Is this played out? The old Dolphin running back Larry Zonka in the annual celebration. So it was charming the first 35 years. It was more fun when Mercury Morris was alive. He really got into it, Mercury Morris, man. He really leaned into it. But the 72 Dolphins Celebration is the NFL equivalent of when I was a kid and I'd go to my Grandpa Jack's house. And Grandpa Jack traveled the world. He was retired. He went to all these exotic places. And I was a little kid. And this is in the Stone Age before the internet. So we'd go to Grandpa Jack's house. And Grandpa Jack loved to show us grandkids' slides, vacation slides. So he'd pull out the overhead projector.
And he'd say, well, here we are. Let me change slides and I'll show you where I was. And we were all like, come on, Grandpa. We don't want to see this. You know, we want to go out and play. We don't want to see you're going to someplace in England or whatever. We don't see that. And or I guess another way to look at it, it's like that uncle that tells the same exact story every time the family gets together. And you're like, hey, I get it. I got it. I heard it the last time. It's OK. So 54 years later, Larry Zonka is still waiting around for a bunch of young strangers to lose a football game.
That's a choice. That is a choice. That is a commitment, not to excellence. That's a commitment to the bit. You're all in on the bit. It's bit, bit, bit, bit, bit, bit, bit, bit, bit. It's all about the bit. Doing the same routine every single year. It's like a casino lounge act where you got a cocktail in one hand, you got a piano in front of you, and you refuse to leave the stage. You're like, I am not leaving the stage, not doing it. And I get it. Listen, undefeated's great.
Wonderful. Great accomplishment back in the Bronze Age of the NFL. Keep in mind that Tricky Dick, Richard Nixon, was the president. Godfather was in movie theaters when the Dolphins went undefeated. So enough. We got it. We understand. And I would argue that nothing cheapens a remarkable accomplishment or legacy quite like endlessly reminding everyone how remarkable it is. It's just like, come on. What are we doing here? We got it. We got it. And it reminds me of the great quote.
by Walter Payton, Chicago Bears legend Walter Payton, who said, if you're good at something, you won't have to tell anyone. They will tell you. And I feel that way about the Miami Dolphins. If you're good at something, I got it. People will bring your name up. They're not going to forget about you. It's okay. In fact, the 72 Dolphins, undefeated.
That legacy would actually be more impressive if guys like Larry Zonka just stopped reminding us about it every time we get to this point in the NFL season. But I digress. All right, last thing, to Indianapolis we go, where Colts fans are hopping and spitting mad with Shane Steichen. We like a good quagmire, and they've got one in Indianapolis. The Colt Marching and Chowder Society is upset that they have decided Daniel Jones will remain the starting quarterback there despite Indianapolis falling to 2-6. Jones...
Through this year, he's done five touchdown passes and has nine interceptions. We hear that's not good. He also has the league worst passer rating. We've also been informed that when you're the worst rated passer in the NFL, that generally is not considered a productive season. That's generally spat upon when you're the worst rated passer in the NFL. The Colts have lost four straight, 13 of their last 15 games. And the fans, the natives arrest us. They want Shane Steichen fired. However, he insists. He said, listen, Daniel Jones gives the Colts the best chance to win.
Hold on a second. Bull crap. Excuse me. I think I hit the cough button. I don't think anybody... Oh, I thought it was because of the smoke in the air. Well, there's that too. It's like a barbecue. It's like a family... Back in the old days, we used to have these company picnics and parties and stuff like that. Really? Yeah, believe it or not. They'd have a couple times a year, they'd have a get-together. That ended about 15 years ago. But we did have them for the first 10 years of the company. All right, back to the point. So...
The fans are upset. Shane Steichen's doubling and tripling down on Daniel Jones, and he's gambling his coaching future. Shane Steichen gambling his coaching future on a turnover machine delivering bargain basement production. All right, so the question, have the Colt fan base officially reached their breaking point with the Daniel Jones experiment? So this is no ifs, ands, or buts about it. Obviously, at this point, starting Daniel Jones should come with a mandatory Surgeon General's warning. The Colts should have to put a pharmaceutical-type disclaimer on every ticket that is sold. In fact, every time the Colts are broadcast on television, they should put on the broadcast, hey, this is possibly not good for your health here. Side effects include nausea, blurred vision, and spontaneous booing while the players are barfing all over the field.
Daniel Jones, the experiment of Daniel Jones has officially upgraded from a football problem to a public health emergency. Watching him play gives you die, die, diarrhea. It does. It just does. And the only cure, the only known cure to mankind, quarterback change. That's it. Coach Shane Steichen is voluntarily handcuffing himself.
to the anchor that is Joe, Daniel Jones, and Joe Blow, the guy in the upper balcony near the Jumbotron, the guy that sits at the very top of the stadium there in Indianapolis, that guy, you know it's not great when the guy that's in the very top there, that's obsessive fan guy, has a better understanding of what needs to happen than the head coach. It's pretty wild, right? The guy that nosebleeds understands more roster management. He can grasp what's going on more than the coaching staff. We would like to think that Shane Steichen is not this big a mama Luke, that he's being forced to play Daniel Jones by the owner, and that's why he's doing it.
It's gotten so bad. How bad? It's gotten so bad that there are factions of that fan base that want Anthony Richardson. To come back and play. That's right. The same guy whose most famous moment in the NFL was tapping out, tapping out of a game because he was tired. He was tired. He wanted out of the game. That's his claim to fame. That's it. So this is not a quarterback controversy. This is like some kind of hostage situation. And good luck. Good luck. It is the Ben Maller Show. If you would like to be part of the program, you can join us right now and say hello. By the way, Hoosier Bill says, my Colts fans need to understand it will be a minimum of two more seasons after this year before we are relevant.
Ah, that's bullcrap. You shouldn't have to wait a couple more years. The NFL is a year-to-year situation. 877-99 on Fox. 877-996-6369 if you'd like to be part of the program. Time now, though, for the Maller Riddle of the Day. And here it is. You might have heard this basketball player back in the day. It was kind of a big deal. You bring his name up now, and people say, oh, you're a boomer. You're talking about that guy. Well, Michael Jordan.
Former Birmingham Barons baseball player and Chicago White Sox Michael Jordan was recently spotted out in Monaco with his wife in some viral photos that have sparked rumors about blank. Again, Michael Jordan was spotted out in Monaco recently with his wife. Some viral photos have made their way around sparking rumors about blank for Michael Jordan. That is the Mahler Riddle of the Day. The answer. And your phone calls will get to that. We will do it.
Next. Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Maller Show weekdays at 2 a.m. Eastern, 11 p.m. Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. Welcome to Football Doesn't Lie. Hi, I'm Bill Parcells. And I'm Catherine Zatzora. I have a lot of experience in the game of football, Catherine. And I'm learning the game with Bill's help. Every week, we're going to talk about the NFL slate through the lens of Bill's expertise as he coaches me from novice fan to football expert over the course of the season. You know, I'm looking forward to this show, Catherine, and hopefully we can give our audience a little in-depth look into the inner sanctum of pro football that they can't get anywhere else. Tune in every Thursday for unfiltered stories from Coach Parcells, analysis on the state of the modern game, and education on how football really works. Continuity is very important, but what happens...
When you get good coaches on your staff and people begin to recognize them, then they want to hire them. And then you can't stop a guy from trying to improve himself, but you have to replace them. Because once you understand what's going on inside the mind of the coaches, you'll understand more about the whole game. So all aspects can be discussed. The only thing I haven't done, because I didn't have enough money, I don't own the team. I never owned a team.

If there's a million times more digital intelligence than there is biological intelligence, it's hard to imagine humans being in control in that scenario. I'm Walter Isaacson, host of the new podcast, The Builders. Right now, we're living through an AI arms race.
So I went directly to the people shaping that future. Elon Musk, Dario Hominay, Alex Carr, Feifei Lee, Palmer Luckey. Because I wanted to understand what the most consequential builders believe, what they fear, and where they think this is all headed. Silicon Valley is always saying the cliche thing about the way to predict the future is to create it. Well, yeah, it's up to us. But when you say us, who's us? Is it 400 people that you know in Silicon Valley? Is it me down here in New Orleans? They're brilliant, controversial, and they're already shaping the future. The question is, whose imagination do we want to live in?
This is going to determine the fate of nations and economies and the future of humanity. Listen to The Builders on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Ben Maller Show, Fox Sports Radio, as we continue on through the overnight. And coming up later this hour, we're going to have Maller's Mountain of Money. So if you want to play Maller's Mountain of Money, call right now. You've got to have a knowledge of...
Football, basketball, baseball mostly. Sometimes some random other things will pop up there. It's a lot of fun. I'm the all-time game show King Win. All-time game show winner. More wins than anyone. So if you want to pick up a win with the Cy Young of the game shows. 877-99 on Fox for Mallard's Mountain Money. Lenny Wilkins of the game shows. No, no, no. It's Cy Young. All-time winningest coach, Cy Young. Who's the winningest? Is it Popovich? Is that the all-time winningest coach in the NBA? I think so. Well, I mean, it was. Lenny Wilkins for a minute, yeah.
Yeah, there were guys that coached for like 40 years. Bill Fitch, Dick Mata, these old guys. Yeah, it is Popovich. Yeah, Popovich. Anyway, so I'm the Popovich without being alluded to. Anyway, 877-99 on Fox on X at Ben Maller. That's at Ben Maller. You can say hello to Lorena. She's got one foot out the door right here. I'm ready to go. Yeah, Lorena is enjoying the obstacle course that we have here tonight. And you can say hello to Lorena at FSR Tech Queen. Let her know which exit she should go out of the...
And Coop is at a Bronco fan. That's a Bronco fan. Your comments can and will be used against you in the Court of Sports Radio. Time now, though, for the Maller Riddle of the Day. And then we'll get to the calls. Here's the Riddle of the Day. Michael Jordan was recently spotted out in Monaco with his wife, and in a viral set of photographs by the paparazzo, they have sparked rumors about blank. All right, that is the question. What is the answer?
Femi, the top Uber Eats driver there in the Twin Cities, says Jordan's new job as co-host of the overnight show, the Ben Maller show. I'm sure that'll happen. I'm sure he'd love all that Nike money to come work overnight talk radio. Absolutely. Absolutely.
Scrooge says, I'm not on the blank, blank. The rest of the militia are on. Stop faking. I don't know what you're talking about. I have no idea. What else do we have? Let's see. Page down. I can't read that. Eek in Roseville, Minnesota says, a reunion with Dennis Rodman is the answer. Who else? Page down. Jordan was spotted wearing all yellow clothes, leading to rumors that he is considering playing for the Savannah Bananas.
All right. My wife's been watching that show Dancing with the Stars. Have you watched that? I only watch the highlights that they post online. There was some guy from the Savannah Bananas that was on there. Oh, yeah. I saw him. Is he still on there? I don't know if he's been eliminated. The girl from the dancing movie, she just got eliminated tonight. Oh, spoiler alert. You're supposed to say spoiler alert. Oh, sorry. Spoiler alert. I'm sure there's a lot crossover, the demographic that we have and Dancing with the Stars. You'd be shocked. Michael says a giant tidal wave caused by aliens living under the ocean.
All right. Rumors of a three-team parlay. Wink, wink, from Black and Blum. That's his answer. Peter says, Michael Jordan has been spotted sending me a text to invite Lorena on a trip to Monaco. All right. You ever been to Monaco? No. Where do you think Monaco is? Brazil. Brazil. God love you. All right. Let's see. What else do we have to see? Page down. I can't read that. All right. Oh, by the way, Nashville Phil says, his 12th anniversary, listening to the show.
He says, you got to plan a meet and greet in Nashville. We got to make that happen. I want to get to Nashville. I'd love to come check out Nashville and see all the Grand Ole Opry and all that stuff. Let's see. Doc Dan says, Jordan was thinking about declaring for the WNBA draft. Do you have an answer, Lorraine? Jordan wanted to get his nails done. No. Michael Jordan was spotted out and about in Monaco with his wife, Yvette Prito, rocking a full head of hair, sparking rumors that he...
I had a hair transplant. Oh, I saw this. Yeah, how else would you get a full head of hair if you don't have hair? Maybe he just glued it on. I call it a toupee. As part of the bald brotherhood, I have heard that in Turkey, there's apparently a big revelation. No, you're shaking your head. No, I've seen it, and I see the men coming back on the flights, and their heads are swollen and still bleeding from the operation, and it's just nasty. It's gross. Well, it's nasty, but I'm always skeptical. This stuff might work for a minute, and then you have to keep going back to Turkey. Does Brian Urlacher still have hair?
That's a good one. Remember when you came back from there? Isn't it tricky A? It's very odd when you're fat and you lose weight or you're skinny and then you gain weight. It's a very odd situation. Anyway, let's go to the phones. It is a call-in show. Let's say hello to Rod, the ambassador of Bakersfield, who is back. Spent many a night on those oil fields out in Bakersfield. Hello, Rod. Welcome, the ambassador of Bakersfield.
Who might be sleeping right now. He might be fast asleep, Rod, the ambassador. Or he passed out from the smell in the studio. Might be affecting him secondhand smoke. Well, he did just have surgery. I know. He did have a medical procedure and he was on hold for a while. So feel better, Rod. We love you. Call when you can. We'll try to get you on quicker there. Bad job by us. Hollering James is in Minneapolis, Minnesota. About time. Let's all enjoy Hollering James in his natural habitat. It's been a while.
This is where he stops breathing for 30 seconds and then starts breathing again here. Oh, there it is right there. Ooh. It's a nice big juicy fart right there. James? You're on the radio, James. James? Yeah, I know. James, he does that verb thing, you know, where you vomit and burp at the same time? Ew. He does that.
Would I get in trouble with management if I just listened to this the rest of the show? I would. You just keep it on low in the background? Man, we should start an app, a Hollering James snoring app. Great. Make more money than doing this show. I know that. Right, James? You agree, right? Yes? You think we can get him to wake up and then talk in his sleep? He does that sometimes. He wakes up in the middle of a call and starts talking. Although sometimes he says stuff that doesn't make the air and you get in trouble. I can't make the air. Hey, James, hold on. Tammy in Montana is here, James. James, Tammy wants to say hello. Hollering James. Ooh, there's a firecracker one right there.
Man, he has sawing logs here. Put him on hold there. That's outstanding. That is how you become a legend. There are many ways to become a legend. That is, for our purposes, outstanding. I got an email from Mike in the Bay Area, upset that we didn't have not, well, I guess the show's not over. I guess we could talk about this. The Draymond Green highlight, the Warriors played the Suns, and Golden State won that game, by the way, if you're interested in that kind of thing. But Draymond Green, tackle the player on the Suns.
And then threw him down and got a tackle. And then Dylan Brooks came over to try to, I don't know if he was trying to escalate or mediate. Anyway, Draymond Green started choking Dylan Brooks. So that's the two-for-one special. We've had multiple birds in the NBA. Darius Acuff, the guy's lighting the world on fire for Sacramento. And he made sure to flip off the Maverick fans after the Sacramento basketball team had won that game. So we had that. We had Marcus Smart playing for the Rockettes now, who gave a double bird.
Gave a double bird for the fans. I think he was directing that at the Boston Celtics bench. He was Mr. Celtic. Marcus Smart was such a big Celtic green team guy. He dyed his hair green and they had a cereal named after him.
when he played for the Celtics. But he was giving the bird. Jason Tatum, after that game, by the way, had a little bit of a hissy fit as they were walking off the court and the Celtics losing that game. Oh, Rod is called back, by the way. Rod, the ambassador of Bakersfield is called back. Hello, Rod. Welcome. Ben, can you hear me? I can hear you loud and proud. Welcome back, Rod. I felt bad, but you're back. What's on your mind? You know what, Ben? You know what, Ben? You were so dead on about Sam Darnold and especially that boob in Indianapolis. How many one-hit owners have they been out there? And by the way, Coop, congratulations to your Broncos and Lorena.
Thank you very much for your love talk because you've really helped my wife out now for 47 years. Without you, Lorena, they would not have made it this long. You're three years away, Rod, the big 5-0, man. How about that? That's crazy. Well, you know, I had that surgery this morning because I had a mass on my bladder, and then I found a second mass on there. And they sent me home some paint belts. I said, hell with that. I'm going with Jack Daniels and water. And a little skunk. And, by the way, there ought to be weed man, skunk weed man hippie. Coop, what do you think of that?
Who's putting his headphones on right now? I missed one. He said skunk, weed man, hippie. Skunk, weed man, hippie. Because we're all about the skunk, aren't we? Yeah. Rod's feeling no pain right now. Oh, no, no, no, I'm good. Okay, all right, all right. I'm almost as sober as two judges. And I hope they're not democratic. All right, hello. I'm glad they cut that out of you, Rod. We're happy that you're back. So now, I want your honest opinion. Yes. Okay, here we go. Okay, we've got the Vikings. We've got the Lions.
We've got the Packers and we've got the Bears. Do all four of them make the play? No, they will not. My Packers are going to be the last. You own the team, sir. You own part of the Packers. I've got some shares. That's what I'm saying. You're technically an owner of the Packers. You're a stockholder in the Green Bay Packers. It'll work itself out.
How about your Bitcoin? You've got to bring that up, Rod. Come on, man. I'm sorry. Coop's yelling at me. We love you, but I have to leave time for the game. You understand, right? Mallard's Mountain of Money is a very important game. Coop loves the game. All right. Get to Mallard's Mountain of Money, and I'll bring some ribs down for Raina because she's a rib. That's right. Come visit us. We'll see you soon. Be good. My friend, feel better. All right. We're pulling for you. The great Rod there had a major medical situation. Had some stuff pulled out of him, and he's still...
Self-medicating. All right, we have, I got one guy for Mallard's Mountain Money. I need two people. Yes, Coop, I need another person. 877-99 on Fox. Mallard's Mountain Money. Call now, or we'll just take calls. We won't play the game. We need one more contestant. We'll get to that. We'll do it next. Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Mallard Show weekdays at 2 a.m. Eastern, 11 p.m. Pacific.
