And the Ben Mallow Show, it's a walk down memory lane, as we say goodbye to one of the legends of sports the last couple of generations. How are you gonna remember? The life of former Notre Dame coach, Lou Holtz, the Golden Domer, who has passed away at the age of 89.

3:02Also, what's the one thing that Lou Holtz did? That stamps his legacy in college football. There's one thing in particular that he was just light years ahead of. We'll talk about that. And in addition to the life and times of Lou Holtz, as we say goodbye to Lou, how about the politicians in Mississippi? They want to give NIL tax breaks to college athletes. How does this strike you? Yeah, all right. We'll get to that as well. All of it is coming your way plus Mallor to the third degree. And we'll get to that here. It is right now. A Golden Domer Goodbye. Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mallor Show. We are in the air every where as we stop by. As we are nature's audio playground,

4:04unleashed coast to coast, border to border and beyond, on the vast and excessively powerful microphones of FSR emanating live. From the crawl, the pub crawl all night long from the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios. And we just turned from the last hour. Jola in Dallas knows this hour made possible by our friends at Tyraq for over 40 years.

It was a story reported a couple of weeks back that claimed that this day was already happening. It didn't happen at that day, but it's now happened. What are you talking about? A legend, an absolute legend in the last couple of generations in college football has crossed the pearly gates here. We assume you've heard by now news came out hours ago. Perhaps not though. Lou Holtz. Lou Holtz, the silver tongue college football coach, most

6:05associated with Notre Dame, although he coached all over the place, led the fighting Irish to a national championship way back in 1988 and built up this amazing reputation as a master of rebuilding college football programs before players could legally be paid. He has died at the age of 89. He had been in some poor health there. There were reports he was in hospice care. He died in Orlando. So the life of Lou Holtz, that is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss. So the question, how are you going to remember? How are you going to remember Notre Dame coach, Lou Holtz, as he checks out of this mortal coil? So I've got Dr. Seuss, Red Lobster, and Cypress Hill. And we're going to provide you some alphabet soup. ABC is what we're going to do. That's where you start with ABC. But well, let's start with number one. Yes. In a generation, the golden generation of coaches,

7:10which Lou Holtz was a part of, bigger than life personalities across all sports across all sports. And he had Lou Holtz there who felt large in life. You think of the guys that were around his age, in his generation, you've got people like Tommy LaSorta, Mike Dicka, Bobby Knight. These are humongous personalities. You don't have that. Now most coaches are so boring these days. They're very boring. But not, not in those days. That one is a mom and pop. He had bigger than life people like Lou Holtz. And Lou Holtz didn't just stand out. He took the stage. He performed a card trick with his right hand with his left hand. He made balloon pets for the kids. And he always demanded excellence. I always demanded excellence. Which all coaches do. But physically, he was a pint-sized figure. But he had that cape on the sidelines. He was like a superhero on the sidelines. And he was a giant

8:13growing up years ago. And he did follow. It would appear the Dr. Seuss playbook. He said what he felt and he did what he said. And it wasn't always popular. Like Lou Holtz, now he's passed away. There's always tributes coming in and all stuff. But it wasn't double that short. It was equal parts, lovable, unlikable to some. And so you had that. And then also just utterly original, which I always appreciated. And he did wake up the echoes of Notre-Dame, winning it all back in the 80s. And it's true legacy is what used to be called an encyclopedia. I guess it's not it's called wiki pdf or gronka pdf or whatever. The encyclopedia of tough love. And witty quotes that he left for us mere mortals here. And his approach, wasn't that. Lou, you know, there were some people that were not, you know, not big fans

9:14as we pointed out. But in his era, he was part of that, that time where that's how you acted. In this era, you get clout. You get points for being a victim, playing the victim. You get social media credit. And people love to be the victim. They love to have problems. And Lou Holtz was doing his thing. You were looked down upon when you celebrated all your issues. And he said, wow, Holtz was a relic of a different era. It was a grittier time. And I was a grittier time. And he preached self reliance to his players. And he famously won my all time favorite quotes. And there were a couple of them. I'll give you a few of them for Lou Holtz. But one of them was never tell your problems to anyone. Because you're the team you're playing. And I can offer you sympathy. And he lived by the math that life is 10% what happens. And then 90% how you respond to it. And the mother of all

10:15quotes for Lou Holtz. And there's some debate about this. But for me, the mother of all quotes, especially the times that we live in now, there would be players that would bitch and complain that the practice was too hard. It was too physical at Notre Dame, right? They'd bitch about it. So Lou Holtz, one day said that no one has ever drowned in sweat, which is the ultimate comeback, right? Just shut up. You know, you can be okay. Everything will be okay. And I did have the good fortune of meeting Lou Holtz years ago. He was doing some speaking. And this goes back almost 30 years. He was doing some local radio at the time. And he was speaking at a promotion that we did the winning way promotion. And we had like Muhammad Ali was there. Lou Holtz, Terry Bradshaw, his random people were thrown together. And Holtz followed another Dr. Suf's belief that you need to be yourself because

11:15everyone else is taken. And there will there will never be another one like him because the way the world was then as it is now and just everything is so upside down. Now page two here continuing as we celebrate the memory of Lou Holtz, we drive down memory lane. So what is the one thing that Lou Holtz did in all these years coaching, the one thing that stamped his legacy in football and college football coaching in particular. So a big part, and I still remember this when I was a little kid, but a big part of Lou Holtz legacy, the thing that will be etched, it should be etched on his tombstone right next to a picture of a magic trick is poor mouth P-O-O-R-M-O-U-T-H. The man did not just coach football. He buttered the opponent's cheddar bay biscuits with a level of frantic precision that would make a

12:21line cook weep. If Lou Holtz had spent as much time focused on the kitchen as he did on the 7th, like if you worked at Red Lobster, Red Lobster would be a global superpower right now. You'd be like, what's going to in the golden era of the golden domers, which wasn't actually who Holtz is here. It was before that, but when Lou was at Notre Dame, Lou Holtz would look at the schedule and Notre Dame's always had some really lightweight opponents mixed in and they're an independent and they've always been an independent my entire life. And so Notre Dame would play the service academies, right. They played Air Force or Navy or they played Rice, which is terrible SMU when they were horrific. And Lou would get on the dais and make you believe that this team that could be one in six was like the football version in college of the 1927 Yankees. And he turned what

13:25had been a casual hobby called poor mouthing. It was at the time Lou started doing that. It was like a clunky rotary phone. And he turned that clunky rotary phone into a sleek iPhone Pro Max is what it became known as his thing Lou Holtz syndrome. Anytime a coach goes over the top with faint praise for an opponent that clearly blows that's Lou Holtz syndrome. He would heap such contrived, effusive and insincere praise on teams where Notre Dame would be a three or four touchdown favorite and he'd be celebrating the underdog and you'd swear that the fighting Irish were about to face both the justice league and the Avengers at the same time. And he'd hug them so hard. They'd suffocate killing them with kindness every Monday. Notre Dame, they have a news conference. Sometimes

14:28it would be broadcast on television. There was no internet in those days. And he'd get up there and he'd just go on and on about how great the coaches, the school is, how tough it is Notre Dame's got no chance. And he'd say, oh, man, let me tell you something that that Navy quarterback that is the next, that's the next Joe Montana, right? The X whatever. And it was performance hard. So rest in peace to to Lou Holtz. A life well lived for Lou Holtz there as he leaves us behind. All right. So final point here, I want to turn the page to the magnolia state. And this has been bouncing around the echo chamber the last couple of couple of days. I want to address it. So there's a proposed law that if it does happen, it is, as I stated, it does not happen. And it would exempt college athletes in that state from having to pay state income tax on NIL earnings. And this would significantly impact your take home pay, meaning if you're going to play at USC or Cal or any

15:37the California schools, the people's Republic of California, they'll take a big chunk of your money. And they want more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more. And in Mississippi, they're like that and I work good. We work, we don't, we don't want to tax you at all. And so this would be an unlevel playing field in college football recruiting. So the question, Mississippi politicians, planning to give tax breaks, NIL tax breaks to college athletes, how does that strike you? This thing has gone from, hey, let's pay the players, which by the way, I supported to, let's give the players extra coupons. Wait, so, so I supported paying the players. I think that you should have a set up where you pay the player. But this is why we, Kazawi, this is carnival ride. And I don't know that I want to be on that roller coaster. I don't know that I want to be on that roller coaster. I'm not like I like paying taxes. Don't get me wrong. I hate paying

16:40taxes by pay tax. There'd be a lot of taxes. A lot more than you do, probably if you don't live in California, but it's an absolute race to the bottom. And here we are. College football, everyone's slapping stickers on players trying to lure them here there and everywhere. Come on, down. Now in this upside down world, you've got 19, 20 year old college football players who are making 200,000, 300,000, 400,000, 500,000 more than that sometimes. And some of these guys will be at Old Miss, not many at Mississippi State. And they're going to get a holiday, a tax holiday. And that the guy in Mississippi, the 40 year old guy who's got three kids, a wife that hates him that works at the Piggly Wiggly, that person does not get a tax break. That's the system. You know what this is? This is its Cypress Hill insane in the membrane is what that is. It bonkers. It's absolutely bonkers is what it is. Now Mississippi politicians are basically running a Black Friday

17:48promotion for linebackers. It's a door buster free taxes. If you run, if you're 4.3 or 4.4, not student. If that is your 40 time, come on down. Now price is right. Come on. And all of that to get an edge over Ohio State, Notre Dame, Alabama, and whoever else the powers of the day are, I don't include Indiana in that. Now meanwhile, the normal schmo is standing online at the department of motor vehicles of life paying every effing penny, every penny. And college football for the last couple of years is very open. It's semi professional football. It's you know how you have like Coca-Cola and Diet Coke. It's the NFL light. It's it's diet NFL with student ID cards and this coupon book from the lawmakers in Mississippi. It's just it's just wild, man. It is absolutely wild.

18:55And you and I both know Mississippi does this. And it's just a little more important college football on the south. So you're going to have Alabama and Georgia and Florida and all these other Southern states Louisiana. They're going to do it too. Because if Mississippi's got an advantage, these other guys are going to say we got to have that same same advantage. And then so places where they're never going to get that advantage. Like I'm sure there's politicians in California, like let's tax these guys more. Let's that's really bend them over. That's really tax these guys. So that's that's where we are. And isn't the the big meet and greet there, President Trump's getting Nick Sabin, Tiger Woods, D Shambo. Is that today? I think that might be today. That's later today. They're going to have a get get together. And they're going to solve all of college football problems right there while eating some chicken nuggets and some fries and some some big Macs and quarter pounders. And they'll be good. Yeah. And that new sandwich word of that

19:57burger is from McDonald's. I forget the name of it where the CEO guy couldn't eat it because he you know, he took like one little baby bite because it must have been disgusting. It is the bend mall or show if you'd like to be part you can join us right now. 877 99 on Fox 877 9966369. If you want to be part of the live program as we're here all night. Next hour, we have Ask Ben. So you can send your questions in hashtag Ask Ben. That'll be coming up next hour on the show. There are some things from last hour we did not get to I get to some of those right now because I want to get caught up and not get behind the eight ball here. So the offer is so good you can't turn it down. That would be Logan Paul who did a social media challenge. That's the annoying YouTube guy. Yeah. So who's now doing this thing where he's like boxer or wink wink. You know, no, no. Hey, Logan Paul has offered one million dollars to any NFL player who can beat him

20:58in a boxing match. And it turns out that at least one NFL player has claimed that he is down to do that. That would be Buffalo Bill's line. Men Dion Dawkins has accepted. So Dion Dawkins, if you want to do the tale of the tape on this, are you, are you, does that interest you? Does that okay? I'll do it. So on one side of the ledger, you've got Logan Paul annoying YouTube guy. Logan Paul is listed at six to 220 pounds. The person in the NFL that said, I'm down to fight. Let's do it. I'm down to fight. Let's do it. Dion Dawkins is 65320 pounds. So okay, so how is Logan Paul going to get out of this? That's the question, right? Or is it me some kind of rigged thing or something? I don't know. I'm just asking questions, but I have no

22:00idea. So you're getting into the ring with a guy who's a hundred pounds heavier and three inches taller. And if you lose to him, you got to pay him a million dollars. Okay. That, that seems like a good deal. Yeah. I mean, what could possibly go wrong with that? It is the bayonet mall or show straight ahead. It was not part of the plan. It was not part of the plan. And there's also some value shopping out there. If you're looking for a good value in sports to really cheap tickets to a very expensive event, we'll get that going for you as well. We'll do it all. And we will do it next.

I see what else do you have? Gunner wanted me to mention some single way hockey game. I'm good on that gunner. I'm good on that. Yeah. Exactly. Oh, what else do you page down here? We'll read that. Kathy and Madison says insane in the brain. Now Neil brings up a great point. And this is an ideas guy. Neil. Neil says, listen, we he believes and I support this. He thinks that instead of just giving the football players a tax break or the athletes in Mississippi, they should give the only fans ladies of college at tax rate. Is that not a great idea? Those women, what great content

29:20they're providing the world, wearing bikinis. I'll give them a discount on their taxes. It's a great idea. That is a great idea. That's helped the ladies out. Come on now. Who says no to that? They say no, no, no objections. All right. The bill passes. We're thinking of raised in Florida. Wasn't there a story a couple of weeks ago how they're going to charge the only fans people more money? Or something like was it wasn't in California or Florida? I think it was in Florida. They were going to put a tax on them. Yeah, like new taxes. Yeah. Yeah. So Mississippi could become the state. All the the the only fans models moved to. They could own all the only fans. They'd all move there. Be great. Then Ferg dog rights since this after blowing out good idea. Neil Ferg dog says after blowing out last year's NBA finals team, the Pacers, do you do we need to start paying closer attention to the Clippers? They've won three in a row and are playing as well as any team in the association. Yeah. Not like that. The Clippers, I know people don't like to hear this,

30:20but the last 14 years, I think the Clippers have either the best or the second best regular season record in the NBA over the last 14 years. Yeah. Mark from Queens lives in Texas. Now he writes and he says big men. Epic comedic monologue to compare the poor sat down at Piggly Wiggly with three kids and a wife that hates him with no taxes. The hits just keep on coming.
