Speaker 1 (00:01):
We go. Welcome, it's our number one hour one of
a podcast. Happy Thursday to you. It's the twenty fourth
day of July. And here in our number one tua
tongue of I looa hinting at a dolphin civil war
in the locker room speaking out about teammate Tyreek Hill
and his request to leave. Is there something deeper going
(00:23):
on in Miami? We'll get our Psycho Babbel out of
the way early. Also, is there a bigger underlying condition
with those twenty twenty five dolphins? And many fans are
upset with the media doing Titans quarterback cam Ward dirty
with the clips that went viral? Is that how you
see this? We'll talk about that as well. Right now
(00:45):
here it is our number one Swimming with dolphins. Welcome
in the bag of another night of the Ben Mahler Show.
We are in the air everywhere as we are chilling
(01:10):
in the audio world, and we have full audio contact
coast to coast, border to border and beyond on the
mast and up aurorously powerful microphones of fs are m
mondating live from the room. We're in the room, the
jury room, where you and I deliberate the news of
(01:31):
the day from the Fox Sports Radio Studios under the
cover of darkness, as supported under the cover of darkness
by mad Jack and our buddy Scott who used to
live in la but he's in northern Kentucky now. In
this portion of the Ben Mallor Show on Fox, made
possible in part by our friends at tire Rack, I
see the thumbs up over there from Alf the alien
(01:52):
Opiner is getting ready to answer the who am I
game later this hour and Ferg Dog, Who's going to
send in a great, witty one liner. For over forty years,
ty Iraq has been helping customers find the right tires
for how, what and where they drive, ship fast and
freeback by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options
(02:12):
like mobile tire installation tire i raq dot com the
way tire buying should be. So our lead this hour
is from beautiful South Florida, a vacation destination. Now, there
was a time when I was a kid. I'm old now,
but when I was a kid that the Dolphins always
had good football, the Miami Dolphins. That's a long time ago.
(02:36):
Dolphins suck anyway, that they're good for what we do
in my occupation here, So we thank them for that.
The Dolphins have a quarterback named to a tongue of
iy Lo, who, when he's upright, is kind of average,
kind of average, and he's somehow has been able to
stay healthy recently. We'll see if that continues. But to
(02:57):
a tongue of I low, the Dolphin quarterback filling the
content machine. Now, when I went to bed after the
overnight show yesterday, I did not anticipate that we would
be leading off with the Dolphins. But that's the magic.
That's the magic. You don't know, it's the hocus pocus.
So Dolphin quarterback Tu a tongue of by Laya, did
not nibble around the edges when it came to the
(03:17):
cheetah Cheata cheata cheetah. Now, if you didn't hear this,
maybe not Tua announcing that the relationship with star receiver
Tyreek Hill, remember him, Yeah, still a work in progress now,
not just for Tua, but for the entire Dolphin team.
In fact, just to prove I'm not making this up,
we have the audio tape. So let's go to the
(03:38):
audio tape. Here's Tua commenting on Tyreek Hill and the situation,
and take a listen. I would say We're still continuing
to do that. But it's not just with me, it's
with a lot of the guys. I'm not the only
one that heard that. You guys aren't the older people
that heard that.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
You know a lot of people that followed football, that
followed the Miami Dolphins, that followed Tyreek, that are fans
of his.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Everyone has seen that. So when you say something like that,
it's you don't just come back from that with a
my bad. Now you got you gotta work that that
relationship up. You got to build everything up again. And
yeah that it's still a work in progress, not just
for me but for everybody. All Right, there you go. Now,
(04:22):
Hill did apologize for what it's worth for his activity.
You might remember if you're old enough to remember the
last NFL season so long ago. In case you forgot them,
maybe you're a little slow. Tyreek Hill snapped at the
end of the year and said, I'm out, bro. I
shouldn't do that at the end of the show. I
have a bad show. I say I'm out bro. But
(04:44):
he said it was great playing here, meaning in Miami,
but at the end of the day, got to do
what's best for my career because I'm too much of
a competitor to be just out there. And so that
was that, and he'll's back and you heard what the
quarterback had to say, So let us discuss the question
to a tongue of Iloa hinting as you heard there
(05:08):
able Dolphins civil war. That's what I heard as he
spoke out on the relationship with Tyreek Hill and his
request to leave at the end of last season. So
is there something deeper going on here? Is there something deeper?
So I've got Dali Lama, kombucha bar, and Walmart Greeter
(05:32):
and we will combine all of these things together and
put the puzzle piece, the jigsaw puzzle piece in the
puzzle to complete the puzzle. So, ah, listen, you break
this down. Is there something deeper going on? Of course,
like what do you smell around the Dolphins? You got
(05:53):
your nose out, you sniffer, right, it's not sunscreen, it's
not seawater, it's not try again, that would be in
my professional analysis for the Dolphins gasoline and smoke. And
here's why, right, because the Dolphins are a full blown
(06:13):
tire fire waiting to explode. And now Tua talking about
working in this part of the movie. In this part
of the movie, Tua is the Dalai Lama of dysfunction,
and he heard he was trying to play the peacemaker,
trying to play the peacemaker but at the same time
letting you and I know that. Yeah, there's a little
(06:36):
bit of a civil war brewing behind the South Beach
curtains there and all of this because Tyreek Hill, the
cheetah who turned into a housecat the second things got
really bad there in Miami. He saw the real Tyreek Hill.
He begged to be traded, and suddenly he pops up
(06:57):
there talking about how if you're seeing his cons recently,
Hill said that he's been going to therapy and the church.
Of course, I roll my eyes at that. And you
don't get to quote the Bible and your therapist like
you get out of the cat house, not doghouse. I said,
cat house free of charge. But it's not monopoly. I
don't believe if it is, that's news to me. Believe
(07:19):
it's the NFL.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Now.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
The second part of this is there a bigger underlying
condition with the dolphins, and you can't see unless you're
watching the rebroadcast on the YouTube channel. I'm nodding my head. Yes, Now,
what is it right that would be enter in stage
(07:43):
left hipster head coach Mike McDaniel. The plot thickens. Now,
don't get me wrong, I like the sound bites. He's
good for at least three or four goofy things to
say during the year, so we like the soundbites. However,
he always looks like he's late for some kind of
sit down NPR interview or a podcast recording at a
(08:08):
kombucha t bar. And you know, listen, if people say
he's a great play caller, he really gets offense and
he understands that. But don't kid yourself, right if you mean,
just look at the guy. The man could not lead
a silent prayer, and he's leading a locker room of
I think alpha males. I believe that's what an NFL
(08:29):
locker room is, nothing but alpha males and and people
with multi million dollar checks and egos to match. So listen,
the Dolphins ft off. Let's call it like it is here.
They screwed up. They should have could have would have
traded Tyreek Hill and said bye bye, but they didn't
do it right. They should have done that. He's at
(08:50):
the age he's at that tipping point, Tyreek, where you know,
how much does he have left in the tank. It's
gonna become a diminishing asset soon. If he's not producing
and he's whining, what's the point you can get some
other stiff to play wide receiver. So Miami brass, they
had a golden opportunity to move on to re establish
some kind of control. But what do they do instead
(09:14):
of that? They let this guy tiptoe, just a little
tiptoe out of the bubble of trust and waltz right
back in like nothing happened. And so now he's talking
about being a better teammate. Too late, dude, you already
let the match. It's like every movie. There, the dynamite
sticks on fire, and so you're left with Tua tongue
(09:38):
by Low who's caught in the middle. Right, he's in
the middle. He's trying to keep the house from collapsing
into a nose. And so does the Dolphin head coach there,
the hipster Mike McDaniel, that if this goes as bad
as it's looking, if somehow the Dolphins finish behind the
not only the Bills, but the Patriots, and if the
(09:58):
Jets somehow finish ahead of them. Then it's turned out
the last the parties over. They will find a way
to blow that thing up with Tua and the coach
will be gonzo. So this is a last opportunity for
Tua in Miami, and he knows it. And so the
(10:19):
walls are collapsing and you can see it and watching
for our blind listeners, you look, you look at his
eyes there and he looks like a guy who who
knows that this is a recipe that he's got in
his hands, a recipe for disaster. It's got all the ingredients.
You've got a divided locker room. Check, you've got a
(10:39):
deva wide receiver with one foot out the door. And
then he put the foot back in. But he's getting
the point where he's not going to get his numbers.
He didn't have the numbers last year. He likes check
that box. You've got a coach who thinks sarcasm and
Spotify playlists are the keys to good leadership. That's a
double check. And so what's next move ahead in the recipe?
(11:02):
It is cow boom is what it is. That's an
implosion CAPITALI all right, now, last word, we go to
another developing story in the NFL to the Music City
where the number number one in the entire league, who
(11:24):
was a year ago projected as a second round pick
but then went to the number one slot, cam Ward
cam Ward, rookie Tennessee Titan quarterback. So cam Ward was
asked how he reacted to the news that the incumbent,
the guy that was the starter who likes Mayonnaise, Will
Levis quarterback Will Levis has been ruled out for the
(11:47):
twenty twenty five regular season. And did you hear his response?
You did not. Okay, this thing's gone viral. Let's go
to the audio tape. Here's cam Ward. Take a listen.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
What's you react to the news that Levison decided to
have surgery and it's kind of subtracted to the quarterbackground.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Now, oh, I really didn't have a reaction. I focus,
okam Warren, Yeah, look at that. I didn't I play
that again. This is cam Ward. He's asked about a teammate,
Will Lewis Degals.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
What was your reaction to the news that Levison decided
to have surgery and it's kind of subtracted from the quarterbackground?
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Now, oh, I really don't have a reaction. I focus
on caam Warred oh Man didn't have a reaction. I
focus on cam Woard. Well, that went viral. It was
a sliver of a longer sound bite, but that's the
one that got played millions of times. And the question
on this when many fans seem to be upset that
(12:49):
the media did cam Ward dirty, they did him dirty
because that clip went viral, is that how you see it?
Is that how you see it? So that is not
how I I see it. On this side of the microphone,
all is fair in love war and the wild West
of the NFL media world. And you put and this
is not that difficult. I know there's a lot of
(13:11):
dumb people in the world, but this is not that
difficult anymore. With an IQ above, ten should figure out
that if you're in the media, you put the most
interesting quote on a pedestal, and cam Ward, who's talking
about himself in the third person, like he's the rock
or something. I focus on cam Ward ding.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Ding ding ding ding.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Yeah, that's the money maker. Right. That's impressive when you
consider cam Ward has played as many NFL games as
you and I have zero zippo not a bumpkis all right? No,
snaps in the NFL. It's kind of like this is
one of those things. It's like a Walmart greeter coming
out and saying, hey, welcome to the NFL. Pal, You're
(13:55):
not in Pullman, Washington, even though cam Warden went to
Miami played longer at Washington State, Like this is not
Washington State versus Northern Colorado in front of seventy seven people,
and I think there was a skunk at that game.
You're in the league and everything you say is clipped,
it is tweeted, it is meaned, it is debated, and
(14:18):
then it's debated again. Cam Ward in that clip, and
again it wasn't the whole clip, but he came off
as a bit robotic and like he was programmed by
a PR firm and he somehow failed. There was a
glitch in the thing of a jig and it didn't work,
and you just had the door blown open for you
to be the starter. Now, in all fairness, I think
(14:39):
you and I can agree that cam Ward was going
to be the starter anyway. There is no even small
competition at this point. I mean, they're gonna sign somebody else,
but it's gonna be a turd. And so he could
not even read the stock answer off the Q card
right twenty twenty five? And what does that mean? If
you're in the met clickety clicks are the currency now,
(15:04):
like the media get paid in that world. They don't
get paid for touchdown passes. They don't And unless they
work for the team website and they're on the payroll,
they don't get paid for fluff pieces, which I know
a lot of you love. You love the fluff, fluffy
mick fluff, but that's not ours. You get paid for engagement.
And player A says something cold and detached like that,
(15:28):
or player B says something in the third person that
is chu ching, chut ching, cha ching. And this is
the carnival. It's been the carnival for many, many years.
It's the carnival. Like the NFL isn't just football. It's
our daily soap opera. That's what it's been, right, It's
football plus a lot more. It's the personality part of it.
(15:53):
It's the day to day reality show. Because listen, in
the NFL, we know they we love watching our football,
but they only play seventeen regular season games. Each team
plays seventeen regular season games. It's a reality show that
has a budget of what twelve billion or something like that.
And the second you go third person, you've officially entered
(16:15):
the entertainment business. All right, that's what the biggest douchebags
in the world do. They talk in the third person,
And so welcome to the big leagues. You're in the
big leagues. Now wee a cam hoard. Everything you say
can and will be used against you in the court
of public conversation, and it will be posted. It will
be put on radio shows in the middle of the
(16:37):
night and then podcasts. And I'm sure you'll bring it
up if you ever become good and you want to
get some kind of endorsement deal with Nike, you'll say, well,
look at how many times I went viral. I'm mister viral.
And they'll say, okay, all right, we'll throw some more
shekels your way and we'll have you sell some shoes.
(17:00):
Good luck on that. Good luck on that. It is
the Ben Malor Show. Good luck on that as well.
And we are just starting the red eye flight, and
it's going to be a long, long night, long night
of talk talk talk, talk, talk talk as we navigate
the friendly audio skies. And if you would like to
join this. This is interactive against my better judgment, management
(17:22):
says been. We have no budget for you. We can
barely afford to pay you guys at work on the overnight,
so we can't. We don't have guests, all right, we
don't do that. I some shows come in and record
stuff and they play recorded interviews all night. That seems
boring to me. Radio is supposed to be live. If
I was going to record everything, I just do a
podcast and go to bed. So we have people that
call in and give comments. And Babylon and why not
(17:45):
because one of my nicknames the Tower of Babylon. So
if you'd like to Babylon, you can join us here.
And I'm I'm the Sheriff, I'm the nocturnal Colonel. So
I'm here talking to the third person. If you'd like
to be part eight seven seven nine nine six six
three six line. That's eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
(18:08):
If you'd like to be part of the program. Also,
we do use real time feedback on the X machine
at Ben Malor. That's at Ben Malor. If you'd like
to be part of the program, you can join us
here and we will yapp the night away with you.
But you don't have to call. If you have nothing
to say, don't call. Most people will never call, right,
(18:31):
the vast majority. They've done research, market research, they say, Ben,
most people that listen will never call. And I say,
thank God for that. And I've met, I've gone, I've
done these mallord meet and greets in different places around
North America, and so many of the people I meet
never call in or maybe they called in one time
when you know, ten years ago. And that's it, and
that's the way it works. But we will take your calls. Also,
comments on actually very easy to hide behind your phone.
(18:54):
Use a fake avatar, use a goofy name, and we
don't know who you really are, and we can read
your comments and you have this like secret identity, like
a double life. And yeah, you can do that at
Ben mallor on the Lamb on but not ceed Lamb,
just on the Lamb. We'll get to that and we
will do it next.

Speaker 5 (19:33):
To, and that's why we have a brand new podcast
called over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun
in our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
because this guy is over promising things we never have
time for. Yeah, you blubber li lame in me.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
Well you know what it's called over promise. You should
be good at it because you've been over promising women
for years.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
Well, it's a Cavino and Rich after show, and we
want you to be a part of it. We're gonna
be talking sports, of course, but we're also gonna talk
life and relationship and if Rich and I are arguing
about something or we didn't have enough time, it will
continue on our after show called over Promised.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Well, if you don't get enough Covino and Rich, make
sure you check out over Promised and also Uncensored by
the way, so maybe we'll go at it even a
little harder. It's gonna be the best after show podcast
of all time.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
There you go, over Promising. Remember you could see it
on YouTube, but definitely join us. Listen to over Promised
with Cavino and Rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts
or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Bill Miller and you. It is the Ben Mahlor Show,
just beginning the Red Eye flight where you are about
to reach our cruising altitude. We're not there yet. The
fasten safety belt light is on, so please do not
get up and move around the cabin. Do not do that.
(20:52):
This is an interactive show. It is fully immersive. I
have a problem now, you know what we should say.
We should say it's an experience, because you anything could
be an experience. It's taking a bowel movement is an experience.
But anyway, if you want to be part of the show,
and you want to hide behind your smartphone or computer
or whatever and make sure your boss doesn't find out
(21:12):
you're interacting at Ben Mahlor on X. It's what Ozzie
Waz uses from his outpost in Western Australia, surrounded by
Kowala bears and kangaroos. Lorena is hitting the buttons and
she's right there. Say a little Lorena fsr Tech Queen
and Cooper's here as well at Bronco Fan. Your comments, Cannon,
(21:35):
We'll be used against you in the Court of sports radio,
and later on we will have ask Ben. Your questions
are answers hashtag ask Ben. That's an hour three of
our flight. We'll be flying over the South Atlantic at
(21:56):
that there are no stupid questions, just stupid people. And
now back to it. Back to it we go as
we began with a Mallard monologue about the Miami Dolphins.
Always hot talk. I know Anthony and Anaheim like that.
And Steve Well, Stevie mean balls. I know, Stevie meanballs.
(22:16):
That's actually sound of a dolphin in the huddle there.
That's too in the huddle. And they use dolphin language.
And a lot of people don't know this because it's
not shown by NFL films, but when you play for
the Miami Dolphins, you actually have to learn the language
of the dolphin, the click language. Yeah, no, it's it's
(22:36):
it's shocking. And they've studied the Miami Dolphins, the bottlenose dolphin,
they've studied that and the spinner dolphin and they've they've
kind of figured that out. And it's it's funny because
I've my wife loves going whale watching, right, so we'll
go out whale watching a lot and it's it's a
fair amount of money. And I would say ninety percent
(22:58):
of the time go whale watching. The only thing we
see is dolphins. Like dolphins are the devil wide receiver
of the sea. Seriously, like the dolphins. You go, I
don't know if this is where you are, but where
I am. I go out on these whale watching things,
and the dolphins are putting on a show like they're
(23:18):
the divil wide receiver doing the end zone touchdown dance.
They're so friendly, they love they love it. It's like, yes,
it's wild though that the whales not so much. The
whales not so much, but the dolphins, it's all about them.
They're like, hey, I'm on the I'm on the dolphin walk.
You know, here I am and uh anyways, so there
(23:38):
you go. That's the Miami Dolphin fun. And then we
slid in cam Ward, who's gone viral for saying I
focus on cam Ward and that's what he said Andy
in Lionel Lakes right Sin he says nine out of
ten on the Mallard monologue, he said a Mailer monologue,
Tyreek is just another self polishing third. Wow, that's a
(24:01):
good line that thinks the team revolves around him as
far as cam Ward goes Andy and Lino Lakes loves
what he said. Here you go, Timothy. Timothy says the
coaches for the Dolphins, Bills, Ben Gals, and Lions will
be fired at the end of the season. Eh on.
(24:23):
Lions are not not gonna get rid of Dan Campbell,
and the Bengals will likely not get rid of their
coach because that would mean they would be pressured to
pay someone real money. The Bengals always a starter job.
It's not a jet. You don't hire somebody who's got
a good track record because you got to pay that
person a lot more money. The Bills one's legit, the
Dolphins legit. Those two for sure. And you always look
(24:46):
for like the unhinged owner. You always look for that
late night drug tester says, with all the drama happening
in Miami, will the NFL make the old switcheroo and
put them on hard Knocks instead of Buffalo No, that's
not I don't believe that's allowed. Eileen writes, and she says,
oh a, Mike mcmonate is in trouble. Yeah, Mike, that's good.
(25:12):
The Manatee. You know, I gotta get to that there's
a place in Florida that you can go and like
that's where the manatees hang out. Aren't the manatees like
fat mermaids? Aren't those what they used to say? You know,
a manate looks like my dog Moxy, just a big
fat blob, you know, And I love that. I just
love my I want all my pets to be big
(25:34):
fat blobs because it makes me think that I'm in
better condition because I'm in better shape than my dog.
You don't want a dog that's in great shape, you know,
because then it's like, you know, that's depressing. Super Marcus
Steve says, I love Dodger Day games. That means that
that Aoleve's a can't cover up my man Mallard unless
he wants to talk for about nine hours. Yeah, the Dodgers.
(25:59):
What's going on with the Twin? The Dodgers tried to
give that game to the Minnesota Twins, and the Twins said,
we don't want it. You can have it back. Man,
down to the last out they walked over time. I
was watching that game and I was like, oh man,
that Dodge are gonna lose again. They're gonna lose again.
And they did not strutched up. Fungus says, I decided
to get drunk tonight. I don't think I'll make it
through the first hour of the show. Well, thanks for
(26:21):
letting us know have another I appreciate that you're giving
us the insight. Skinning on that, Fergdog says that Fergdog
has a real problem with cam Ward speaking in the
third person. Only the greats earned the right to refer
to themselves in the third person, Greats like Ricky Henderson,
Elmo and me. Ferg Doog. Yeah, yeah, I've done. In
(26:43):
my younger days, I was in locker rooms as a
radio stringer, and there were a few times where I
did put a microphone in front of someone that talked
in the third person, and even right there, I kind
of laughed. At that time, I was a young lad,
but even then I kind of like I did interview
Ricky Henderson many time. I actually played for the Dodgers
and the Angels, and I was always bouncing into Southern
(27:04):
California with the different teams he played on, and Ricky
was quite the character, but also Bo Jackson. When I
first started, Bo was playing for the Angels. Kind at
the end of his career and Bo from a previous
generation but one of the all time greats, and Bau
would talk. He didn't, but Bo had major stuartering. I
was like the guys that had starting problems. I like,
I had mad respect for, like Bo Jackson a major
(27:27):
speech impediment, and Bill Walton, the late Bill Walton. There
was a running back Darren Sprolls who played for the Saints.
Like those guys that have to do media crap and
they're not able to communicate properly. I like it. Sharknado says.
The Amanateee place in Florida is Blue Springs, north of Daytona.
(27:49):
It's amazing since JD and Boston. Have you been there? JD,
have you been there? I gotta get there. That's probably
not I bet you that's not that far. I have
my father in law lives in North Carolina, so I
could go there, and then I could say, hey, we've
already been to North Carolina, so let's just drive down.
It's only a couple of states away, and we'll just
drive down. We'll see manatees as long as I yes.
(28:11):
A manity meet and greet, A malormanate meet and greet,
whoa big, that's big? We you know what? How about
this T shirts? Malormanate t shirts? Who says no? Does anyone?
No one's gonna say no. Yeah, I'm putting that together anyway.
(28:33):
Let's go to the phone. Oh yeah, yeah, all right,
thank you. Let's start out. Who's in the leadoff chair,
who's going to set the tone? Who's going to try
to get on base? Let's go to Luke, who's in Boston? Hello, Luke, welcome.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Hey Ben?
Speaker 6 (28:47):
How you doing? Having a good night?
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Oh check check back in a few hours, Luke. I'll
let you know. It's just beginning. But yes, I'm here,
I'm alive. I'm talking on a microphone. How how back
could my life be, Luke, I'm getting paid talking to
a microphone. My life can't be that bad.
Speaker 6 (29:03):
No, it's a dream it is. But that being said,
I you know, I very much dislike your Tyreek Hill take. Ben.
Are you a Boston fan of your Patriots fan?
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Well, as you know, I am neutral. I like whoever
I bet on. No, I'm I'm a Ram fan. I
don't you know. Listen, I don't want the Patriots to
be terrible, but I'm not a Patriot fan. Why Are
you a Dolphin fan, Luke?
Speaker 6 (29:27):
Hell? No, excuse me?
Speaker 1 (29:28):
What do you you said? You can say?
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Hell?
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Why? Is Hell's a lot we're allowed to talk about?
Speaker 6 (29:35):
Hell No, I'm a I'm a New England fan. And
what I was gonna say is, if Tyreek was on
the path and you're a Pats fan, I bet your
opinion be finally we got that electric guy.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
We need now.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
So you want Tyreek hill on the Patriots that this
is what this is a motivation call. You would like
Tyreek to continue to be unhinged and then go play
for the Dolphin, go from the But how's that gonna work?
The Dolphins aren't going to trade. The only way they'll
trade Tyreek killed with Patriots if unless the only way
that will happen. If they're convinced that he's going to
self destruct when he gets to the Patriots. The only
(30:11):
way they do that.
Speaker 6 (30:13):
We're not going to get him. He's never going to
come through England. But to say that any other stiff
can fill his spot is ridiculous. Wattle's a stiff. Yes,
they get rid of John wu who their security blank is.
So I don't like that. The only reason why they
haven't been winning games is one a who gets knocked
unconscious or they go up north where it's cold. And
that's not Tyreek's fault because he's played good weather in cold.
(30:36):
If he stayed in Kansas City, you would have had
three more Super Bowls.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Now, well, did you watch the games last year? I
know you probably watched the Patriots, but you watch at
least a couple of Dolphin games. Tyreek Hill was a
shell of what he had been the previous year. I
mean it was a dramatic how much less of a
player he was last year and he's now, He's a
year older. He's thirty one years old now. And again
(31:00):
that's not old in the real world, but in sports
that's old. And so Luke, I mean, listen, that's this.
I feel like this is a take from two years ago.
This is an old take. You're repackaging an old take
about Tyreek Hill. He he was, his production went down.
I think I saw the number. It was over eight
hundred yards. And he played in one more game this
year than he had the previous year, and his production
(31:22):
went down eight hundred yards. His catches went down like
forty something, I believe. So he was a shell of
what he had been.
Speaker 6 (31:30):
It was it was bad. He had some pretty bad
quarterback play. They definitely ran the ball a lot more
because a chan was you know, had a great year
last year. I don't know. I just I you. They're
not going to win more than eight games. They're not.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Oh, I agree. I think the Dolphins are in that
middling area where seven eight nine wins, like right in
that area for the Dolphins. And and depending on when
the losses happen, that's when the tinder box starts burning up.
All right, thank you about that. A rare sporty call
(32:12):
to start the show. I feel like that's that's not
a bad spot. Those are the things we ask for. Yeah,
we don't get a lot of that. We don't. We
don't get a lot of that. Yeah, absolutely. Jeff writes
in from the highways and byways, and he says, you
get paid to talk on the radio. Well, I am
(32:33):
fueling my semi in a downpour. Jeff points out it
is raining cats and dolphins in Iowa. We'll stay sicked.
I gotta tell you, guys, when I'm out driving in
bad weather, it doesn't happen very often. Usually when I travel,
it doesn't get that bad we do the show from LA,
(32:54):
and it doesn't get that bad in LA. But when
I'm out about all right, I'm traveling around and the
weather's really nasty, and I see, I'm like, dude, if
I was a truck driver, I would just pull over.
I wouldn't even bother, like it's not worth it. I
would not. I know, you guys get paid, I guess
extra if you got to deliver stuff on time and
all that, But in those really nasty storms, I would
just pull over and say, screw it. I'm gonna wait
(33:14):
till the storm passes. I'm not I'm not driving. Nick
the Windy's Guy checks in. He says, Ben, my dad
is a long time common Man fan. However, I won't
jump ships on you. You make my drive home that
much more enjoy Bob, thank you.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Nick.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Are you not allowed to be a fan of more
than one sports talk radio show? Is that? Is that
the rule? To check on that? I mean, come on, Nick,
you think the common Man is going to give Nick
the Windy's Guy the kind of run that we give
you in the nighttime hours. I don't think Nature Boy
says the Dodgers should have lost when they said Mookie
(33:51):
Betts didn't swing in that game against the Twins. Yeah,
you can point to a couple of things. Bobby who's
in Florida, And I believe Bobby is the guy that
hooked us up with that delicious key lime pie. Hey, Bobby,
and then send us another key Lime pie just to
make sure that we'd like the first key Lime pie.
And then we like the second one because it was strawberry.
I mean, like that one, but also like a third one.
(34:12):
Wouldn't mind that. And then are you are you asking?
I feel like you're asking for you? Well, they're still
the coconut flavor we have not tried yet. Isn't the
rule you're not supposed to ask. I'm just saying I
would like to feel you as you just asked the
listener you asked. That's an ask. I don't ask. If
people want to send stuff or whatever, that's very kind
and God will take all all free stuff, but we
don't ask. I don't ask, Bobby, and Florida says though
(34:34):
comparing the show to a bowel movement is pretty act.
They both stink and you feel much better when it's over,
So it's very nice. Bobby appreciate these the support there,
very very kind. Just Josh in Cincinnati says, Just Josh
is not shocked by your love for the sea cow, Ben,
for he too is a fan of the manatee. Hey, yeah,
(34:58):
that'd be cool to swim with a manate pretty mellow.
I bet they don't, you know, they don't. Like the
rhino is a fat animal. But the rhino will eat
you for lunch. Like the rhino will kill you, I
think are herbivoroues Ben. They'll attack you though, the r
but they will not you. Okay, well if you're dead,
(35:18):
it doesn't matter, It doesn't who cares. And also living
with since we're doing the Hour of animals, like living
with gators. My my father in law of North in
North Carolina, we went and visited them. Was it last year,
two years ago, whatever, I don't know. And right across
the street from where he lives is a pond with
alligators right across the street. I mean, yikes, that is crazy.
(35:44):
You're living with with dinosaurs. Anyway, It is the Ben
Mahlor Show. As we were working away through the overnight
on the Lamb. On the Lamb, we'll get to that
coming up in a minute time now. Though, for the
who am I game? And this is where we pretend
to be school Yankees. Aaron Boone tied me the Yankees.
Aaron Boone tied me for the fourth most manager ejections
(36:07):
over the first eight years as a skipper. Boone was
ejected after the Yankees played like the Bad News Bears
in Toronto in the game on Wednesday Night. So the
Yankee Aaron Boone tied me for the fourth most manager
ejections over the first eight years as a skipper. Who
am I? That is the question the answer. We'll get
(36:29):
to it and we will do it next.

a podcast. Happy Thursday to you. It's the twenty fourth
day of July. And here in our number one tua
tongue of I looa hinting at a dolphin civil war
in the locker room speaking out about teammate Tyreek Hill
and his request to leave. Is there something deeper going
(00:23):
on in Miami? We'll get our Psycho Babbel out of
the way early. Also, is there a bigger underlying condition
with those twenty twenty five dolphins? And many fans are
upset with the media doing Titans quarterback cam Ward dirty
with the clips that went viral? Is that how you
see this? We'll talk about that as well. Right now
(00:45):
here it is our number one Swimming with dolphins. Welcome
in the bag of another night of the Ben Mahler Show.
We are in the air everywhere as we are chilling
(01:10):
in the audio world, and we have full audio contact
coast to coast, border to border and beyond on the
mast and up aurorously powerful microphones of fs are m
mondating live from the room. We're in the room, the
jury room, where you and I deliberate the news of
(01:31):
the day from the Fox Sports Radio Studios under the
cover of darkness, as supported under the cover of darkness
by mad Jack and our buddy Scott who used to
live in la but he's in northern Kentucky now. In
this portion of the Ben Mallor Show on Fox, made
possible in part by our friends at tire Rack, I
see the thumbs up over there from Alf the alien
(01:52):
Opiner is getting ready to answer the who am I
game later this hour and Ferg Dog, Who's going to
send in a great, witty one liner. For over forty years,
ty Iraq has been helping customers find the right tires
for how, what and where they drive, ship fast and
freeback by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options
(02:12):
like mobile tire installation tire i raq dot com the
way tire buying should be. So our lead this hour
is from beautiful South Florida, a vacation destination. Now, there
was a time when I was a kid. I'm old now,
but when I was a kid that the Dolphins always
had good football, the Miami Dolphins. That's a long time ago.
(02:36):
Dolphins suck anyway, that they're good for what we do
in my occupation here, So we thank them for that.
The Dolphins have a quarterback named to a tongue of
iy Lo, who, when he's upright, is kind of average,
kind of average, and he's somehow has been able to
stay healthy recently. We'll see if that continues. But to
(02:57):
a tongue of I low, the Dolphin quarterback filling the
content machine. Now, when I went to bed after the
overnight show yesterday, I did not anticipate that we would
be leading off with the Dolphins. But that's the magic.
That's the magic. You don't know, it's the hocus pocus.
So Dolphin quarterback Tu a tongue of by Laya, did
not nibble around the edges when it came to the
(03:17):
cheetah Cheata cheata cheetah. Now, if you didn't hear this,
maybe not Tua announcing that the relationship with star receiver
Tyreek Hill, remember him, Yeah, still a work in progress now,
not just for Tua, but for the entire Dolphin team.
In fact, just to prove I'm not making this up,
we have the audio tape. So let's go to the
(03:38):
audio tape. Here's Tua commenting on Tyreek Hill and the situation,
and take a listen. I would say We're still continuing
to do that. But it's not just with me, it's
with a lot of the guys. I'm not the only
one that heard that. You guys aren't the older people
that heard that.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
You know a lot of people that followed football, that
followed the Miami Dolphins, that followed Tyreek, that are fans
of his.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Everyone has seen that. So when you say something like that,
it's you don't just come back from that with a
my bad. Now you got you gotta work that that
relationship up. You got to build everything up again. And
yeah that it's still a work in progress, not just
for me but for everybody. All Right, there you go. Now,
(04:22):
Hill did apologize for what it's worth for his activity.
You might remember if you're old enough to remember the
last NFL season so long ago. In case you forgot them,
maybe you're a little slow. Tyreek Hill snapped at the
end of the year and said, I'm out, bro. I
shouldn't do that at the end of the show. I
have a bad show. I say I'm out bro. But
(04:44):
he said it was great playing here, meaning in Miami,
but at the end of the day, got to do
what's best for my career because I'm too much of
a competitor to be just out there. And so that
was that, and he'll's back and you heard what the
quarterback had to say, So let us discuss the question
to a tongue of Iloa hinting as you heard there
(05:08):
able Dolphins civil war. That's what I heard as he
spoke out on the relationship with Tyreek Hill and his
request to leave at the end of last season. So
is there something deeper going on here? Is there something deeper?
So I've got Dali Lama, kombucha bar, and Walmart Greeter
(05:32):
and we will combine all of these things together and
put the puzzle piece, the jigsaw puzzle piece in the
puzzle to complete the puzzle. So, ah, listen, you break
this down. Is there something deeper going on? Of course,
like what do you smell around the Dolphins? You got
(05:53):
your nose out, you sniffer, right, it's not sunscreen, it's
not seawater, it's not try again, that would be in
my professional analysis for the Dolphins gasoline and smoke. And
here's why, right, because the Dolphins are a full blown
(06:13):
tire fire waiting to explode. And now Tua talking about
working in this part of the movie. In this part
of the movie, Tua is the Dalai Lama of dysfunction,
and he heard he was trying to play the peacemaker,
trying to play the peacemaker but at the same time
letting you and I know that. Yeah, there's a little
(06:36):
bit of a civil war brewing behind the South Beach
curtains there and all of this because Tyreek Hill, the
cheetah who turned into a housecat the second things got
really bad there in Miami. He saw the real Tyreek Hill.
He begged to be traded, and suddenly he pops up
(06:57):
there talking about how if you're seeing his cons recently,
Hill said that he's been going to therapy and the church.
Of course, I roll my eyes at that. And you
don't get to quote the Bible and your therapist like
you get out of the cat house, not doghouse. I said,
cat house free of charge. But it's not monopoly. I
don't believe if it is, that's news to me. Believe
(07:19):
it's the NFL.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Now.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
The second part of this is there a bigger underlying
condition with the dolphins, and you can't see unless you're
watching the rebroadcast on the YouTube channel. I'm nodding my head. Yes, Now,
what is it right that would be enter in stage
(07:43):
left hipster head coach Mike McDaniel. The plot thickens. Now,
don't get me wrong, I like the sound bites. He's
good for at least three or four goofy things to
say during the year, so we like the soundbites. However,
he always looks like he's late for some kind of
sit down NPR interview or a podcast recording at a
(08:08):
kombucha t bar. And you know, listen, if people say
he's a great play caller, he really gets offense and
he understands that. But don't kid yourself, right if you mean,
just look at the guy. The man could not lead
a silent prayer, and he's leading a locker room of
I think alpha males. I believe that's what an NFL
(08:29):
locker room is, nothing but alpha males and and people
with multi million dollar checks and egos to match. So listen,
the Dolphins ft off. Let's call it like it is here.
They screwed up. They should have could have would have
traded Tyreek Hill and said bye bye, but they didn't
do it right. They should have done that. He's at
(08:50):
the age he's at that tipping point, Tyreek, where you know,
how much does he have left in the tank. It's
gonna become a diminishing asset soon. If he's not producing
and he's whining, what's the point you can get some
other stiff to play wide receiver. So Miami brass, they
had a golden opportunity to move on to re establish
some kind of control. But what do they do instead
(09:14):
of that? They let this guy tiptoe, just a little
tiptoe out of the bubble of trust and waltz right
back in like nothing happened. And so now he's talking
about being a better teammate. Too late, dude, you already
let the match. It's like every movie. There, the dynamite
sticks on fire, and so you're left with Tua tongue
(09:38):
by Low who's caught in the middle. Right, he's in
the middle. He's trying to keep the house from collapsing
into a nose. And so does the Dolphin head coach there,
the hipster Mike McDaniel, that if this goes as bad
as it's looking, if somehow the Dolphins finish behind the
not only the Bills, but the Patriots, and if the
(09:58):
Jets somehow finish ahead of them. Then it's turned out
the last the parties over. They will find a way
to blow that thing up with Tua and the coach
will be gonzo. So this is a last opportunity for
Tua in Miami, and he knows it. And so the
(10:19):
walls are collapsing and you can see it and watching
for our blind listeners, you look, you look at his
eyes there and he looks like a guy who who
knows that this is a recipe that he's got in
his hands, a recipe for disaster. It's got all the ingredients.
You've got a divided locker room. Check, you've got a
(10:39):
deva wide receiver with one foot out the door. And
then he put the foot back in. But he's getting
the point where he's not going to get his numbers.
He didn't have the numbers last year. He likes check
that box. You've got a coach who thinks sarcasm and
Spotify playlists are the keys to good leadership. That's a
double check. And so what's next move ahead in the recipe?
(11:02):
It is cow boom is what it is. That's an
implosion CAPITALI all right, now, last word, we go to
another developing story in the NFL to the Music City
where the number number one in the entire league, who
(11:24):
was a year ago projected as a second round pick
but then went to the number one slot, cam Ward
cam Ward, rookie Tennessee Titan quarterback. So cam Ward was
asked how he reacted to the news that the incumbent,
the guy that was the starter who likes Mayonnaise, Will
Levis quarterback Will Levis has been ruled out for the
(11:47):
twenty twenty five regular season. And did you hear his response?
You did not. Okay, this thing's gone viral. Let's go
to the audio tape. Here's cam Ward. Take a listen.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
What's you react to the news that Levison decided to
have surgery and it's kind of subtracted to the quarterbackground.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Now, oh, I really didn't have a reaction. I focus,
okam Warren, Yeah, look at that. I didn't I play
that again. This is cam Ward. He's asked about a teammate,
Will Lewis Degals.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
What was your reaction to the news that Levison decided
to have surgery and it's kind of subtracted from the quarterbackground?
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Now, oh, I really don't have a reaction. I focus
on caam Warred oh Man didn't have a reaction. I
focus on cam Woard. Well, that went viral. It was
a sliver of a longer sound bite, but that's the
one that got played millions of times. And the question
on this when many fans seem to be upset that
(12:49):
the media did cam Ward dirty, they did him dirty
because that clip went viral, is that how you see it?
Is that how you see it? So that is not
how I I see it. On this side of the microphone,
all is fair in love war and the wild West
of the NFL media world. And you put and this
is not that difficult. I know there's a lot of
(13:11):
dumb people in the world, but this is not that
difficult anymore. With an IQ above, ten should figure out
that if you're in the media, you put the most
interesting quote on a pedestal, and cam Ward, who's talking
about himself in the third person, like he's the rock
or something. I focus on cam Ward ding.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Ding ding ding ding.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Yeah, that's the money maker. Right. That's impressive when you
consider cam Ward has played as many NFL games as
you and I have zero zippo not a bumpkis all right? No,
snaps in the NFL. It's kind of like this is
one of those things. It's like a Walmart greeter coming
out and saying, hey, welcome to the NFL. Pal, You're
(13:55):
not in Pullman, Washington, even though cam Warden went to
Miami played longer at Washington State, Like this is not
Washington State versus Northern Colorado in front of seventy seven people,
and I think there was a skunk at that game.
You're in the league and everything you say is clipped,
it is tweeted, it is meaned, it is debated, and
(14:18):
then it's debated again. Cam Ward in that clip, and
again it wasn't the whole clip, but he came off
as a bit robotic and like he was programmed by
a PR firm and he somehow failed. There was a
glitch in the thing of a jig and it didn't work,
and you just had the door blown open for you
to be the starter. Now, in all fairness, I think
(14:39):
you and I can agree that cam Ward was going
to be the starter anyway. There is no even small
competition at this point. I mean, they're gonna sign somebody else,
but it's gonna be a turd. And so he could
not even read the stock answer off the Q card
right twenty twenty five? And what does that mean? If
you're in the met clickety clicks are the currency now,
(15:04):
like the media get paid in that world. They don't
get paid for touchdown passes. They don't And unless they
work for the team website and they're on the payroll,
they don't get paid for fluff pieces, which I know
a lot of you love. You love the fluff, fluffy
mick fluff, but that's not ours. You get paid for engagement.
And player A says something cold and detached like that,
(15:28):
or player B says something in the third person that
is chu ching, chut ching, cha ching. And this is
the carnival. It's been the carnival for many, many years.
It's the carnival. Like the NFL isn't just football. It's
our daily soap opera. That's what it's been, right, It's
football plus a lot more. It's the personality part of it.
(15:53):
It's the day to day reality show. Because listen, in
the NFL, we know they we love watching our football,
but they only play seventeen regular season games. Each team
plays seventeen regular season games. It's a reality show that
has a budget of what twelve billion or something like that.
And the second you go third person, you've officially entered
(16:15):
the entertainment business. All right, that's what the biggest douchebags
in the world do. They talk in the third person,
And so welcome to the big leagues. You're in the
big leagues. Now wee a cam hoard. Everything you say
can and will be used against you in the court
of public conversation, and it will be posted. It will
be put on radio shows in the middle of the
(16:37):
night and then podcasts. And I'm sure you'll bring it
up if you ever become good and you want to
get some kind of endorsement deal with Nike, you'll say, well,
look at how many times I went viral. I'm mister viral.
And they'll say, okay, all right, we'll throw some more
shekels your way and we'll have you sell some shoes.
(17:00):
Good luck on that. Good luck on that. It is
the Ben Malor Show. Good luck on that as well.
And we are just starting the red eye flight, and
it's going to be a long, long night, long night
of talk talk talk, talk, talk talk as we navigate
the friendly audio skies. And if you would like to
join this. This is interactive against my better judgment, management
(17:22):
says been. We have no budget for you. We can
barely afford to pay you guys at work on the overnight,
so we can't. We don't have guests, all right, we
don't do that. I some shows come in and record
stuff and they play recorded interviews all night. That seems
boring to me. Radio is supposed to be live. If
I was going to record everything, I just do a
podcast and go to bed. So we have people that
call in and give comments. And Babylon and why not
(17:45):
because one of my nicknames the Tower of Babylon. So
if you'd like to Babylon, you can join us here.
And I'm I'm the Sheriff, I'm the nocturnal Colonel. So
I'm here talking to the third person. If you'd like
to be part eight seven seven nine nine six six
three six line. That's eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
(18:08):
If you'd like to be part of the program. Also,
we do use real time feedback on the X machine
at Ben Malor. That's at Ben Malor. If you'd like
to be part of the program, you can join us
here and we will yapp the night away with you.
But you don't have to call. If you have nothing
to say, don't call. Most people will never call, right,
(18:31):
the vast majority. They've done research, market research, they say, Ben,
most people that listen will never call. And I say,
thank God for that. And I've met, I've gone, I've
done these mallord meet and greets in different places around
North America, and so many of the people I meet
never call in or maybe they called in one time
when you know, ten years ago. And that's it, and
that's the way it works. But we will take your calls. Also,
comments on actually very easy to hide behind your phone.
(18:54):
Use a fake avatar, use a goofy name, and we
don't know who you really are, and we can read
your comments and you have this like secret identity, like
a double life. And yeah, you can do that at
Ben mallor on the Lamb on but not ceed Lamb,
just on the Lamb. We'll get to that and we
will do it next.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
Hey, We're Cavino and Rich Fox Sports Radio. Every day
five to seven pm Eastern. But here's the thing. We
never have enough time to get to everything we want
to get.
Speaker 5 (19:33):
To, and that's why we have a brand new podcast
called over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun
in our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
because this guy is over promising things we never have
time for. Yeah, you blubber li lame in me.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
Well you know what it's called over promise. You should
be good at it because you've been over promising women
for years.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
Well, it's a Cavino and Rich after show, and we
want you to be a part of it. We're gonna
be talking sports, of course, but we're also gonna talk
life and relationship and if Rich and I are arguing
about something or we didn't have enough time, it will
continue on our after show called over Promised.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Well, if you don't get enough Covino and Rich, make
sure you check out over Promised and also Uncensored by
the way, so maybe we'll go at it even a
little harder. It's gonna be the best after show podcast
of all time.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
There you go, over Promising. Remember you could see it
on YouTube, but definitely join us. Listen to over Promised
with Cavino and Rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts
or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Bill Miller and you. It is the Ben Mahlor Show,
just beginning the Red Eye flight where you are about
to reach our cruising altitude. We're not there yet. The
fasten safety belt light is on, so please do not
get up and move around the cabin. Do not do that.
(20:52):
This is an interactive show. It is fully immersive. I
have a problem now, you know what we should say.
We should say it's an experience, because you anything could
be an experience. It's taking a bowel movement is an experience.
But anyway, if you want to be part of the show,
and you want to hide behind your smartphone or computer
or whatever and make sure your boss doesn't find out
(21:12):
you're interacting at Ben Mahlor on X. It's what Ozzie
Waz uses from his outpost in Western Australia, surrounded by
Kowala bears and kangaroos. Lorena is hitting the buttons and
she's right there. Say a little Lorena fsr Tech Queen
and Cooper's here as well at Bronco Fan. Your comments, Cannon,
(21:35):
We'll be used against you in the Court of sports radio,
and later on we will have ask Ben. Your questions
are answers hashtag ask Ben. That's an hour three of
our flight. We'll be flying over the South Atlantic at
(21:56):
that there are no stupid questions, just stupid people. And
now back to it. Back to it we go as
we began with a Mallard monologue about the Miami Dolphins.
Always hot talk. I know Anthony and Anaheim like that.
And Steve Well, Stevie mean balls. I know, Stevie meanballs.
(22:16):
That's actually sound of a dolphin in the huddle there.
That's too in the huddle. And they use dolphin language.
And a lot of people don't know this because it's
not shown by NFL films, but when you play for
the Miami Dolphins, you actually have to learn the language
of the dolphin, the click language. Yeah, no, it's it's
(22:36):
it's shocking. And they've studied the Miami Dolphins, the bottlenose dolphin,
they've studied that and the spinner dolphin and they've they've
kind of figured that out. And it's it's funny because
I've my wife loves going whale watching, right, so we'll
go out whale watching a lot and it's it's a
fair amount of money. And I would say ninety percent
(22:58):
of the time go whale watching. The only thing we
see is dolphins. Like dolphins are the devil wide receiver
of the sea. Seriously, like the dolphins. You go, I
don't know if this is where you are, but where
I am. I go out on these whale watching things,
and the dolphins are putting on a show like they're
(23:18):
the divil wide receiver doing the end zone touchdown dance.
They're so friendly, they love they love it. It's like, yes,
it's wild though that the whales not so much. The
whales not so much, but the dolphins, it's all about them.
They're like, hey, I'm on the I'm on the dolphin walk.
You know, here I am and uh anyways, so there
(23:38):
you go. That's the Miami Dolphin fun. And then we
slid in cam Ward, who's gone viral for saying I
focus on cam Ward and that's what he said Andy
in Lionel Lakes right Sin he says nine out of
ten on the Mallard monologue, he said a Mailer monologue,
Tyreek is just another self polishing third. Wow, that's a
(24:01):
good line that thinks the team revolves around him as
far as cam Ward goes Andy and Lino Lakes loves
what he said. Here you go, Timothy. Timothy says the
coaches for the Dolphins, Bills, Ben Gals, and Lions will
be fired at the end of the season. Eh on.
(24:23):
Lions are not not gonna get rid of Dan Campbell,
and the Bengals will likely not get rid of their
coach because that would mean they would be pressured to
pay someone real money. The Bengals always a starter job.
It's not a jet. You don't hire somebody who's got
a good track record because you got to pay that
person a lot more money. The Bills one's legit, the
Dolphins legit. Those two for sure. And you always look
(24:46):
for like the unhinged owner. You always look for that
late night drug tester says, with all the drama happening
in Miami, will the NFL make the old switcheroo and
put them on hard Knocks instead of Buffalo No, that's
not I don't believe that's allowed. Eileen writes, and she says,
oh a, Mike mcmonate is in trouble. Yeah, Mike, that's good.
(25:12):
The Manatee. You know, I gotta get to that there's
a place in Florida that you can go and like
that's where the manatees hang out. Aren't the manatees like
fat mermaids? Aren't those what they used to say? You know,
a manate looks like my dog Moxy, just a big
fat blob, you know, And I love that. I just
love my I want all my pets to be big
(25:34):
fat blobs because it makes me think that I'm in
better condition because I'm in better shape than my dog.
You don't want a dog that's in great shape, you know,
because then it's like, you know, that's depressing. Super Marcus
Steve says, I love Dodger Day games. That means that
that Aoleve's a can't cover up my man Mallard unless
he wants to talk for about nine hours. Yeah, the Dodgers.
(25:59):
What's going on with the Twin? The Dodgers tried to
give that game to the Minnesota Twins, and the Twins said,
we don't want it. You can have it back. Man,
down to the last out they walked over time. I
was watching that game and I was like, oh man,
that Dodge are gonna lose again. They're gonna lose again.
And they did not strutched up. Fungus says, I decided
to get drunk tonight. I don't think I'll make it
through the first hour of the show. Well, thanks for
(26:21):
letting us know have another I appreciate that you're giving
us the insight. Skinning on that, Fergdog says that Fergdog
has a real problem with cam Ward speaking in the
third person. Only the greats earned the right to refer
to themselves in the third person, Greats like Ricky Henderson,
Elmo and me. Ferg Doog. Yeah, yeah, I've done. In
(26:43):
my younger days, I was in locker rooms as a
radio stringer, and there were a few times where I
did put a microphone in front of someone that talked
in the third person, and even right there, I kind
of laughed. At that time, I was a young lad,
but even then I kind of like I did interview
Ricky Henderson many time. I actually played for the Dodgers
and the Angels, and I was always bouncing into Southern
(27:04):
California with the different teams he played on, and Ricky
was quite the character, but also Bo Jackson. When I
first started, Bo was playing for the Angels. Kind at
the end of his career and Bo from a previous
generation but one of the all time greats, and Bau
would talk. He didn't, but Bo had major stuartering. I
was like the guys that had starting problems. I like,
I had mad respect for, like Bo Jackson a major
(27:27):
speech impediment, and Bill Walton, the late Bill Walton. There
was a running back Darren Sprolls who played for the Saints.
Like those guys that have to do media crap and
they're not able to communicate properly. I like it. Sharknado says.
The Amanateee place in Florida is Blue Springs, north of Daytona.
(27:49):
It's amazing since JD and Boston. Have you been there? JD,
have you been there? I gotta get there. That's probably
not I bet you that's not that far. I have
my father in law lives in North Carolina, so I
could go there, and then I could say, hey, we've
already been to North Carolina, so let's just drive down.
It's only a couple of states away, and we'll just
drive down. We'll see manatees as long as I yes.
(28:11):
A manity meet and greet, A malormanate meet and greet,
whoa big, that's big? We you know what? How about
this T shirts? Malormanate t shirts? Who says no? Does anyone?
No one's gonna say no. Yeah, I'm putting that together anyway.
(28:33):
Let's go to the phone. Oh yeah, yeah, all right,
thank you. Let's start out. Who's in the leadoff chair,
who's going to set the tone? Who's going to try
to get on base? Let's go to Luke, who's in Boston? Hello, Luke, welcome.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Hey Ben?
Speaker 6 (28:47):
How you doing? Having a good night?
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Oh check check back in a few hours, Luke. I'll
let you know. It's just beginning. But yes, I'm here,
I'm alive. I'm talking on a microphone. How how back
could my life be, Luke, I'm getting paid talking to
a microphone. My life can't be that bad.
Speaker 6 (29:03):
No, it's a dream it is. But that being said,
I you know, I very much dislike your Tyreek Hill take. Ben.
Are you a Boston fan of your Patriots fan?
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Well, as you know, I am neutral. I like whoever
I bet on. No, I'm I'm a Ram fan. I
don't you know. Listen, I don't want the Patriots to
be terrible, but I'm not a Patriot fan. Why Are
you a Dolphin fan, Luke?
Speaker 6 (29:27):
Hell? No, excuse me?
Speaker 1 (29:28):
What do you you said? You can say?
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Hell?
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Why? Is Hell's a lot we're allowed to talk about?
Speaker 6 (29:35):
Hell No, I'm a I'm a New England fan. And
what I was gonna say is, if Tyreek was on
the path and you're a Pats fan, I bet your
opinion be finally we got that electric guy.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
We need now.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
So you want Tyreek hill on the Patriots that this
is what this is a motivation call. You would like
Tyreek to continue to be unhinged and then go play
for the Dolphin, go from the But how's that gonna work?
The Dolphins aren't going to trade. The only way they'll
trade Tyreek killed with Patriots if unless the only way
that will happen. If they're convinced that he's going to
self destruct when he gets to the Patriots. The only
(30:11):
way they do that.
Speaker 6 (30:13):
We're not going to get him. He's never going to
come through England. But to say that any other stiff
can fill his spot is ridiculous. Wattle's a stiff. Yes,
they get rid of John wu who their security blank is.
So I don't like that. The only reason why they
haven't been winning games is one a who gets knocked
unconscious or they go up north where it's cold. And
that's not Tyreek's fault because he's played good weather in cold.
(30:36):
If he stayed in Kansas City, you would have had
three more Super Bowls.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Now, well, did you watch the games last year? I
know you probably watched the Patriots, but you watch at
least a couple of Dolphin games. Tyreek Hill was a
shell of what he had been the previous year. I
mean it was a dramatic how much less of a
player he was last year and he's now, He's a
year older. He's thirty one years old now. And again
(31:00):
that's not old in the real world, but in sports
that's old. And so Luke, I mean, listen, that's this.
I feel like this is a take from two years ago.
This is an old take. You're repackaging an old take
about Tyreek Hill. He he was, his production went down.
I think I saw the number. It was over eight
hundred yards. And he played in one more game this
year than he had the previous year, and his production
(31:22):
went down eight hundred yards. His catches went down like
forty something, I believe. So he was a shell of
what he had been.
Speaker 6 (31:30):
It was it was bad. He had some pretty bad
quarterback play. They definitely ran the ball a lot more
because a chan was you know, had a great year
last year. I don't know. I just I you. They're
not going to win more than eight games. They're not.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Oh, I agree. I think the Dolphins are in that
middling area where seven eight nine wins, like right in
that area for the Dolphins. And and depending on when
the losses happen, that's when the tinder box starts burning up.
All right, thank you about that. A rare sporty call
(32:12):
to start the show. I feel like that's that's not
a bad spot. Those are the things we ask for. Yeah,
we don't get a lot of that. We don't. We
don't get a lot of that. Yeah, absolutely. Jeff writes
in from the highways and byways, and he says, you
get paid to talk on the radio. Well, I am
(32:33):
fueling my semi in a downpour. Jeff points out it
is raining cats and dolphins in Iowa. We'll stay sicked.
I gotta tell you, guys, when I'm out driving in
bad weather, it doesn't happen very often. Usually when I travel,
it doesn't get that bad we do the show from LA,
(32:54):
and it doesn't get that bad in LA. But when
I'm out about all right, I'm traveling around and the
weather's really nasty, and I see, I'm like, dude, if
I was a truck driver, I would just pull over.
I wouldn't even bother, like it's not worth it. I
would not. I know, you guys get paid, I guess
extra if you got to deliver stuff on time and
all that, But in those really nasty storms, I would
just pull over and say, screw it. I'm gonna wait
(33:14):
till the storm passes. I'm not I'm not driving. Nick
the Windy's Guy checks in. He says, Ben, my dad
is a long time common Man fan. However, I won't
jump ships on you. You make my drive home that
much more enjoy Bob, thank you.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Nick.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Are you not allowed to be a fan of more
than one sports talk radio show? Is that? Is that
the rule? To check on that? I mean, come on, Nick,
you think the common Man is going to give Nick
the Windy's Guy the kind of run that we give
you in the nighttime hours. I don't think Nature Boy
says the Dodgers should have lost when they said Mookie
(33:51):
Betts didn't swing in that game against the Twins. Yeah,
you can point to a couple of things. Bobby who's
in Florida, And I believe Bobby is the guy that
hooked us up with that delicious key lime pie. Hey, Bobby,
and then send us another key Lime pie just to
make sure that we'd like the first key Lime pie.
And then we like the second one because it was strawberry.
I mean, like that one, but also like a third one.
(34:12):
Wouldn't mind that. And then are you are you asking?
I feel like you're asking for you? Well, they're still
the coconut flavor we have not tried yet. Isn't the
rule you're not supposed to ask. I'm just saying I
would like to feel you as you just asked the
listener you asked. That's an ask. I don't ask. If
people want to send stuff or whatever, that's very kind
and God will take all all free stuff, but we
don't ask. I don't ask, Bobby, and Florida says though
(34:34):
comparing the show to a bowel movement is pretty act.
They both stink and you feel much better when it's over,
So it's very nice. Bobby appreciate these the support there,
very very kind. Just Josh in Cincinnati says, Just Josh
is not shocked by your love for the sea cow, Ben,
for he too is a fan of the manatee. Hey, yeah,
(34:58):
that'd be cool to swim with a manate pretty mellow.
I bet they don't, you know, they don't. Like the
rhino is a fat animal. But the rhino will eat
you for lunch. Like the rhino will kill you, I
think are herbivoroues Ben. They'll attack you though, the r
but they will not you. Okay, well if you're dead,
(35:18):
it doesn't matter, It doesn't who cares. And also living
with since we're doing the Hour of animals, like living
with gators. My my father in law of North in
North Carolina, we went and visited them. Was it last year,
two years ago, whatever, I don't know. And right across
the street from where he lives is a pond with
alligators right across the street. I mean, yikes, that is crazy.
(35:44):
You're living with with dinosaurs. Anyway, It is the Ben
Mahlor Show. As we were working away through the overnight
on the Lamb. On the Lamb, we'll get to that
coming up in a minute time now. Though, for the
who am I game? And this is where we pretend
to be school Yankees. Aaron Boone tied me the Yankees.
Aaron Boone tied me for the fourth most manager ejections
(36:07):
over the first eight years as a skipper. Boone was
ejected after the Yankees played like the Bad News Bears
in Toronto in the game on Wednesday Night. So the
Yankee Aaron Boone tied me for the fourth most manager
ejections over the first eight years as a skipper. Who
am I? That is the question the answer. We'll get
(36:29):
to it and we will do it next.
