Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Welcome, it's our number one. Happy Tuesday to you. It
is the sixteenth day of December. As we are hanging
outside by side here in our number one. What stood
out about two a tongue of Iloa's play for the
Dolphins as Miami got smashed by the Pittsburgh Steelers in
(00:22):
the Monday night came last night? Also, can you unscramble
the latest gibberish from Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel that has
gone viral from the postgame news commerce? And are you
back on the Steelers Aaron Rodgers band wagon after this
dominating win the Steelers in the driver's seat to win
(00:43):
the AFC North. We'll talk about that and more right now.
Settle in. It's our number one. It is a winter wonderland,
well not not for everybody. Hold, I gotta move this computer.
(01:03):
So it's the shoveled message here. Guys don't bring their
moms to work. We are in the air ev rewhere.
That's why we're hanging out side by side here making
some kind of audio connection as we have the golden
Goodies coast to coast, border to border and beyond on
(01:26):
the vast and pleasantly powerful microphones of FSR am monating
live from the tail as we high tail it each hour.
We high tail it here from the world famous Fox
Sports Radio studios, as Stevie Meatballs reminds us, this hour
(01:46):
made possible in part by our friends at tire Rack.
For over forty years, Tyraq has been helping customers like
alf Fergdog and mister Niskuy find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive. Ship ass and free back
by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like
mobile tire installation, tire ract dot Com, the Way that
(02:10):
tire buying show b and we're back at it again.
I hope life is treating you. Okay, we're hanging out
talking about sports, big sporty, what kind of kind we
go through the sports windows? So our lead this hour
from the confluence where the Ohio River is born. Right there,
(02:34):
the Manhangahila and the Alleghany form the Ohio River and
the island game. You know, I love my island games.
I live the island life. As Joe Buck and Troy Aikman,
the Fox refugees there had to call on ABC from
Western Pennsylvania hanging out there the dolphins and Steelers doing
(02:54):
some wrangling to close out the weekend in the NFL?
Did you watch any of this game? Did this interest
you at all? What much of a game? No, you
didn't watch it? What else were you watched? Nothing else?
Speaker 3 (03:06):
On?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Can't watch that NBA crap. That's terrible, all right, So
maybe you didn't see it. Old man aerit Rogers, as
far as we know, not a grandfather and possibly a husband.
We're not sure about that. The woman to be seen later,
do do do do do do do do do do
do do? What's she at the game? She could have been?
(03:26):
Who knows. Nobody knows if it's really a person anyway.
Aaron Rodgers two hundred and twenty four yards passing and
two two touchdowns and the Steelers they molly wopped the
Dolphins twenty eight to fifteen. They scored not indicative of
the deciding outcome. The game was over a lot of
(03:47):
garbage time in the fourth quarter there on Monday night.
So the Steelers are maintaining the top spot in the
AFC North Pittsburgh at eight and six. They need one
more win to continue the streak of a five hundred seasons.
They also need one more win if it's the right
win to end up wrapping up the division. They'll get
a home game on wild Card weekend and for the
(04:10):
second straight game Pittsburgh in the winners circle here and
twenty third straight at home on Monday Night football. This
Cheers went twenty three consecutive. They brought this up. They
had a lot of garbage time on ABC. They among
the filler they used, they showed Joe buck going into
the Baseball Hall of Fame. They did that. They kept
(04:30):
showing random weird people in the crowd to fill time.
If you made a sign, you got on TV. There
was a lot of filler, a lot of filler here
in this game. But these Steelers ended up overwhelming the
once proud Dolphins. Course, anybody that remembers the Dolphins good
is old like you gotta be an old geeze. Like
the teams that used to be good have sucked for
(04:54):
a long time. They Dolphins blow that, Dallas Cowboys are embarrassment,
the Raiders. Those teams were the staples of the NFL
for many, many years, but long gone. As Ernie Harwell,
another long gone broadcaster, would say, like a house on
the side of the road. There so Miami's they're done.
They're absolutely out. That's it. They're out of the playoff picture.
(05:16):
There like they were gonna get in. They've been eliminated
yet again. Nana na da da da goodbye. Not that
you ever had a shot to really make it a
futile effort. And you know we love losers. The Ben
Malor Show loves losers. So let's talk about some losers.
Good jumping off point. Let us discuss and the quarterback
(05:38):
getting absolutely charboiled. Here do you like Charbroyle Dolphin? Okay, well,
the quarterback to a tongue of I Law getting destroyed.
So the question what stood out or stood down about
to a tongue of Ilawo's play for the Dolphins. So
on this one, I've got the shining Oscar Meyer and
(06:02):
DC comics and we will combine all of these things
together and we're gonna have some Iron City beer. It
was the Pittsburgh Steelers. They kick the crap out of
the Dolphins. They need to get some Iron City beer
on that flight back to Miami, which they're on right now,
heading to South for it. So hey, let's start with this.
(06:23):
The Dolphins walked into Pittsburgh and it was like a
magic tricks, like a more like a science trick than
a magic trick. It's like a science trick, a science
trick from like junior high school, where it's like, okay,
what temperature do things start freezing over? And then we
turned we found out that dolphins actually they start freezing
and they turned into push pops. They were teal push pops.
(06:44):
The dolphins there in the second late in the second
quarter and the third quarter there absolutely gutless the cold weather.
I think these guys, even though you live in Miami,
a lot of them are come from the Midwest to
the East coast. Are not all from the west coast
to the south where it's warm most of the time.
And these guys collectively are just a bunch of softies.
(07:07):
And it's just ridiculous here what happened. Cold weather hits
and Miami goes cold. In fact, they don't even go cold.
They go frozen is what they do here. And this
was against a steel team. If you didn't watch the
Steelers all year, you think, body, they're pretty good. I mean,
I understand that's why they are leading the division. No,
(07:29):
they suck. The Steelers are a bad team. They were
twenty eighth in the You're Being Mean Meller twenty eighth
in the NFL and defense coming into that game twenty eighth,
and yet toa it looked like the greatest Hits album
of Steelers defense. I thought I saw Troy Polamalo out there,
(07:49):
the ghost of Kevin Green, Jack Lambert making tackles the
whole Steel Curtain Reunion tour, who was playing against the Dolphins.
Ta They showed him. There was one shot and I
didn't jot down. I think it was in the in
the second quarter. I didn't jut down the time. But
(08:10):
Tua look like Jack Nicholson in The Shining You know
that it's been turned into a meme, but that famous scene,
it looked like he was in ice and staring blankly,
and the thing of a jig was not working. Was
it was Tua doing his cosplay of Jack Nicholson from
the Shining Year and plus the Dolphins defense, they allowed
(08:33):
a middling Steeler offense to have four consecutive touchdown drives,
good afternoon, good evening, and good night. As the Dolphins
decided that tackling was optional, they quiet quit at halftime.
We're not sure. The rumor is that they were just
sitting around watching only fans at halftime, and they tossed
in the sponge there when they came out all phases. Now,
(08:56):
this also presents quite the predicament for the Dolphins here.
And the Dolphins predicament is they have an underlying condition.
That's the predicament here. And you can remodel the roster
and they likely will do that. You can get a
new coach that actually knows what he's doing, they'll probably
do that as well. And you can light candles, you
(09:18):
can burn sage, it doesn't really matter because Tua, his
underlying condition is he malfunctions when the weather gets cold.
And that's just the reality of the situation, right, that's it.
Under forty degrees, he's played eight games, one in seven,
and the stat line on Tua horrific, horrific, And so
(09:40):
it's not a trend. It's I mean, just look at
the weather report we did Benny versus the Penny. At
the time we did it, we didn't anticipate the weather
being that nasty on Monday night in Pittsburgh. Well you know,
it wasn't like snowing or anything of that, but it
was cold, and that's what you'd expect in mid December
cold weather, and you look around the Dolphins if they
(10:02):
ever got good. You look around the AFC, and you're
gonna have to play outdoor games. The Patriots are pretty
good this year, so if they continue to be good,
they'll have outdoor home games. The Ravens will likely be
there most of the time. The Steelers, Buffalo, these are
all outdoor cold weather teams, not domes outdoor cold weather teams,
(10:23):
and so you're gonna have to go into those places
and play unless you just have home field advantage in Tua.
Either that or you can go on TEAMU and find
something to fix the do hickey which keeps freezing over
and going doink when the playoff games are not playoff games,
which is big nighttime games, cold weather games, it just
(10:44):
doesn't go well. And the total stat bandito from Tua
in this game, we'll have more on that in a minute.
And so the real question though for Tua is there
is a way to get out of his deal and
to move on. Do the guys that own the team,
(11:04):
and Stephen Ross is the big one. He's pretty old
and Michigan guy Stephen Ross, does he have the machismo
to get rid of tour. Does he have the machiezmo
now turn the Patriot, but not far the in Battled
Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel went viral on his post game
(11:25):
and he usually goes viral. Here he did go viral
yet again, the Dolphins coach just addressing what happened. This
was a one score game at halftime. The Dolphins actually
looked somewhat decent very early in the game, and then
as the game went on after halftime, the third quarter
was a awakening for the Pittsburgh Steelers and it was
(11:46):
nap time for the Miami Dolphins, and so that led
I believe we have the right bite. All right, here's
Mike McDaniel, and this is a SoundBite of him postgame
trying to explain what happened to the Dolphins. And listen,
this is a head coach, the leader of a multi
billion dollar NFL franchise, trying to explain what went wrong.
(12:07):
Take a listen.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
As hard as we tried, that was a little too
deflating because we knew that was an important area of
focus that we really wanted to be good coming out
of that third quarter as a one score game. And
you know, I thought that was a gigantic momentum swing.
(12:31):
You know, had a couple opportunities on that drive and
the following drive to make some plays, and we didn't
make the place they did.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Okay, can we get that man a tissue? Can we
get him a nice tissue to clean his nose out?
So that's a head coach of an NFL franchise, So question,
can you unscramble the latest gibberish from the Dolphins coach
Mike McDaniel. As you just heard there, we played pretty
much all of it. There were some other bikes as
well that we're pretty pretty out there. So I ran
(13:00):
this through the Mallard Dacota ring, and I take this
job very seriously. I don't just come in here in
half asset. I have a Mallard Dacota ring, and I
use the Mallard decoder ring. And the word that kept
popping up the official translation on the Mallard Dakota ring
whack a doodle. That's the word. So and the Decota
ring is never wrong. If it says whack a doodle,
it's whack a doodle. Whack a doodle doo is what
(13:22):
it is here. So this wasn't some deep philosophical perspective
from the Dolphins coach. He was not doing a deep
dive on the state of the Miami Dolphins. He was not.
This is in fact, this was standard chow. This is
standard chow. Here's some reheated leftovers from Mike McDaniel. There,
(13:44):
half baked, foggy like he's speaking pig Latin, but only
after he fell off the back of a wagon. And
then he's speaking pig Latin. And his superpower, I believe
everyone's got a superpower, hollering. James superpower is sleeping his
blind Scott's superpowers annoying people. He's really good at that.
(14:04):
Jed who fled. His superpower is talking so fast you
don't understand what he's saying. And in the case of
the Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel, his superpower is marblemouth. Marblemouth
and it sounds like a guy when he's talking and
saying um and awe, the um and aws of the world,
it sounds like he's driving the Oscar meyer wienermobile. A
(14:26):
lot of filler. Those are filler phrases um and awe.
People at study language when you don't know what you're
going to say or you're pausing to try to buy
time to find out what you're gonna say next. You
say um and awe. It's a lot of filler. There's
some preservatives in there as well, empty calories, just like
a nice processed hot dog. UM and ah are the
(14:50):
hot dogs of the spoken word. They are. And here's
the thing. A big part, whether you like it or not,
a big part of the job as head coach of
an NFL team or any sports team professionally, is you
are the spokesman of the franchise. That's your job. You're
the face of it. You're the front man, you're the
(15:10):
Carnival barker, all of those things mixed together. Instead, Mike
McDaniel keeps rambling like a GPS that lost its satellite
signal and foot and mouth disease every time they lose.
Even when they win, we just don't play it. When
they lose, we play it. And he's tongue tied, exasperated
(15:32):
and circling the drain verbally on a weekly basis. If
only the Dolphins could play the Jets again, or play
the New Orleans Saints, one of those type teams, they'd
be in good shape. Thus they are not it's always
the same movie, though with Mike McDaniel. We've been doing
this for a couple of minutes and McDaniel comes in
there and a lot of pauses. It's the same movie,
(15:55):
long pauses, no payoff, and then just like the Dolphins
often punting on fourth down because they did not get
the line to gain there and in some strange odd way,
I'm gonna miss this. I'm gonna miss this. He's not
gonna last as Dolphin coach unless the Dolphins are a
fraud franchise mere they are just assuming that they'll get
(16:15):
rid of him, try to hire a real coach, and
so McDaniel slide back into the OC of some NFL
team and that'll be that, and we won't get these
sound bites anymore. He won't be a head coach, so
we'll miss it. He'll go back to OC duty and
some meat head will come in there and replace him
an orator of the franchise. Now, the last word on
(16:37):
the Petsburg Steelers side of things, The yinsers the question,
now that Pittsburgh got a dominating win to get to
eight and six on the year, are you back on
the Pittsburg Steelers. Aaron Rodgers bandwagon or band wagoneer, as
(16:58):
Blair and Maine said, many many years ago, are you
back on these Steelers? Aaron Rodgers bandwagon here after this
dominating win over the Miami football team. So I'll go
here first, shake him my head. No. If you can
see me in live real time, you're a loser. You
can watch on YouTube. I'm shaking my head. No. Uh so,
(17:19):
let's slow down here. Hit the pause button on the
I'm gonna hit the pause button on the remote control.
Hit the pause button there. Do not overreact. Do not overreact,
Like you just found five bucks in the back pocket
of your favorite blue jeans. You were watching that you
had you washed them, but you hadn't washed them in
a while, and you found five bucks and you're like, wow,
that's probably cool. I don't use use cash. I normally
(17:40):
use a credit card. And just calm down, Calm down,
as Aaron Rodgers would say. Relax, That's what he would say.
And so did the Steelers look shiny?
Speaker 5 (17:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (17:52):
They did. They look good? They did they look good.
Aaron Rodgers had some vintage throws in this game, had
some zip on a few of those intermediate throws, which
he normally does not throw check that box. However, let's
not confuse a as the kids say, a heater. Let's
not confuse that with a heat wave. The phrases are different.
(18:16):
You have a heater and then you have a heat
wave in Pittsburgh, tickling the funny bone. For those that
are like, oh man, they're back, I'm giddy, I'm laughing
all they're really just ticking up a little bit, just
a little bit in the right direction, I'll grant you
that they are headed that way. I didn't hear any
(18:36):
fire Mike Tomlin chance after that game, as the Steelers
have that one game lead in the AFC Norse, so
I didn't hear any of that. And the defense was
crushing skulls for some of this game. Demolition, derby style football, helmets,
flying dolphins, playoff dream shattered, all of those things, all
of those things regardless, though this particular game was less
(19:00):
about the Steelers ascending and more about the Dolphins turning
into frozen skid marks on the side of the turnpike
there as they were horrific. They didn't just lose, they
got thawed and evaporated. They just vanished. And that's it now,
Rogers again. He looked good, not great most of the night.
(19:23):
The key phrase though, he's thirty's forty thirty forty two,
and so we know that Father Time is undefeated. I
heard that years ago. Father Time on defeas Even if
you bring some crystals from Andrea in the Bay Area
and you can have a party, have some crystals. You
(19:45):
can also bring the Farmer's Almanac and a bunch of
supplements from Tijuana and then get together at a darkness
retreat and do all of those things. Good luck. My
advice to Mike Tomlin is to go to DC Comics,
bring in a super villain, mister Freeze. Bring in mister
Freeze here for the playoffs because cold weather Rogers magic.
(20:09):
Saw a lot of that in Green Bay, a lot
of those type of games in Green Bay. However, it
only works in these short little bursts. There is a
scenario where the Steelers win the division, they play a
home playoff game, and there's a chance they play a
second playoff game in the division round. Could it be
in Buffalo? Maybe two cold weather games. The Bills are
(20:31):
not invincible. There's no one that's invincible in the NFL
this season. And remember, all you need is if Tom
that can bring in mister Freeze here from DC Comics
and get that going for the last month, you only
need a month and a half. You need January and
half of February to get the bling bling the ring ring.
That's all you have to do. I play well in
(20:52):
January and February if you get in. However, let's be real,
it is much more likely, if you were to look
at the wheel of possible abilities, it is much more
likely that Aaron Rodgers in mid February will be sitting
in Austin, Texas talking about lizard people with Joe Rogan,
then getting ready to play the La Rams in the
(21:14):
Super Bowl in Northern California. It's much more likely that happens.
So let's pump the brakes. Pump the breaks. Now, pump
the brakes. Okay, their work. Got that NASCAR old school
restrictor plate on the Steelers. That get to the playoffs
and they can play the Dolphins in the playoffs. They're
in good shape. I'm told the Dolphins will not be
in the playoffs. That's what I'm told eight seven, seven
(21:37):
ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven nine nine six
six three sixty nine. We will have the rundown on
X at Ben madhad and put it up. Yet I
was busy doing a couple of things in the back
there and so did not have time to get to that.
Juggling a lot of plates, spinning a lot of plates,
juggling a lot of balls. So that's how that works.
(21:58):
But if you want to be part on X at
Ben mal got to follow me on there. We read
a lot of comments and some of you get intimidated.
I get emails, oh my god, you are always about
Alf and then the late night drug tester and Stevie
Meatballs and Lady Sideburns. These are the characters. You can
be one of the characters. I don't care. I'll read
anything pretty much at Ben Maler on the phones at
(22:21):
eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. That's eight seven
seven nine nine six six three sixty nine. If you'd
like to be part, well, the Puffy Sticker goes to

to it all? Right, back to what we go and
it's the Eenie Meenie miney mo and shaneon Mooy says,
I disagree with you Ben on the Raiders and Cardinals
being quitters. They are just awful. They like to try
(25:37):
and we see the result. Quitters are like guys who
get married and can't listen to the show. Those guys
are quitters. I'm married, my wife wants to dress up.
You're taking a shot Shane at Jason and Ottawa is
what you're doing and that's that's a low blow. And
I know what you're doing here. You don't really you
believe the Cardinals are quitters and the Raiders are quitters.
(25:58):
They are. You don't get out gained by three hundred
yards if you're trying as a professional football player. Andy
in Line Lakes writes, and he says another a plus
on the mal monologue. I don't know how you do
it night after night. I'm struggling to show my work,
show up to my work night after night. The only
thing that keeps me coming to work is knowing I
(26:20):
get to listen how about this? How about this sucking up?
I get to listen to you each night to make
it more bearable. Well, thank you, Andy, Andy and Linel Lakes.
Can you be my agent? Andy, and I want to
negotiate this. See what else do we have? Ferg Dog says,
I'm tired of people always complaining about late night drug
tester hogging all the airtime. If you if you don't
(26:42):
want to hear him, call in yourself. That's right. What
else do we have? Parito? See here? Parito says many
shocking I never figured you to enjoy juggling balls, He says,
juggling reference that was made there, King Royce. I see
your ball, sir, I'd like to see He says. How
(27:02):
poetic would it be for Aaron Rogers to end his
career by winning the Super Bowl in Northern California and
beating the team that snubbed him not only on Draft
Day twenty years ago, but also in the playoffs of
years past. The forty nine Ers to the NFL scriptwriters
even there. I'll tell you what, if brock Perty and
(27:25):
the Niners want to go to the Super Bowl, there's
a block of tickets in the end zone that they
can get. They can all sit together in the end
zone and watch the Super Bowl. The number one Burner,
he says, nice reference to the shining mister Maller. He
said he enjoyed that. Well, thank you. Crying Craig is
(27:48):
up with us in Seattle, he says. A Christmas song
that I have a hard time not crying when singing
is do they know it's Christmas? Especially the snow in
Africa line? That is that's from Craig crying Craig who
lives in Seattle, So that's it's excitingsolute Nick and Nebraska
(28:11):
wrote in earlier he wanted to know. Has anyone asked
what the hell helmet man is doing in the shower
for ninety minutes? His right hand is getting a workout.
Is he's singing a concert set to the Roaches? My
right hand was getting a work out doing laundry dishes.
What the f is he doing? Well, that's the mystery
(28:33):
of helmet man. That's the magic of helmet man. We
don't really know what he's doing. We think that since
he's living in some shall we say assisted living, well
not if that's the right term. I think the find
taxpayers are subsidizing it. So I figure he's not paying
the water bill. Because if you're paying the water bill,
you take five minute showers. You don't take ninety minute showers. Right,
(28:54):
You've got to pay the bill. So when you go
to a hotel, you make sure you take a really
long shower. Yeah, you take a bath. A shower and
a bath is what you do. Late night drug tester says,
thanks for watching the Monday night football game for us.
Ben I was busy watching the overtime thriller between the
Winnipeg Jets and the Ottawa senators. Wow, that's uh, that's
(29:15):
next level. I fell asleep. I wonder how much you
bet on that. Ferg Dog says, why is Loraina filling
in for Mark? What is he doing tonight? I don't
know what Mark's doing. He might be he's busy tonight.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
I had to come in.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
He might be in Chicago. I don't know what he's doing.
I have no idea. Let's go to the phones. Let's
say hello to Eenie meenie, miney moll. Look at this trucker.
Shane's gonna make us all really rich. So I'm gonna
go to him first. He's driving around Mississippi. Hello, trucker Shane. Welcome,
all right.
Speaker 9 (29:42):
All right, thank you, all right, cheer me out, all right,
all right, you guys are to become millionaires. Okay. I
thought about this one and hard all right, coops, coming
our retirement. I'm make Lylaer Part two. And you're all
being being a movie with him because in the movie
he works on the Ben Mahler Show. Okay, and because
(30:04):
everyone loves a Ben Aller show, they're all gonna go
see the movie. I want to see you all act,
want to see him act because.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
I and Dunston.
Speaker 9 (30:12):
He's a kid. It's gonna be the movie of the summer.
Speaker 5 (30:16):
Okay, I love this ite.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
I'm on boy, all right, So I need I need
two things. Okay, here's what I need. I need you
to write the script, and I need to sell the
script to a studio.
Speaker 9 (30:26):
I got it.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
You haven't read it, though you have, you have to
write it.
Speaker 9 (30:30):
I'm gonna write the script, and I'm gonna say he
gets all kinds of trouble working for you, all right.
I didn figure it out while you're away filming, who's
gonna fill in for you on the show?
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Okay, really, I don't even know who's feeling for me.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Don't film at eleven PM two.
Speaker 9 (30:48):
No, you're gonna have Jet hu Flett come on at
night and d're on the show while you guys are going.
I think this would be great.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
So Jet will be the fill in host.
Speaker 9 (30:56):
Okay, it'll be the Jet fled and his whoever you
want on their holler and James whatever and while you
guys are with and then you guys are gonna make millions.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Okay, Well I don't I don't disagres. It's a great idea.
And uh, people over at the studios in town. If
they're listening there, you know, contact us will.
Speaker 9 (31:15):
Make the Jim in the movie too, because.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Okay, I'm sure, sure, sure, okay, all right, well there
you go. We had all figured out just the liar
they make it? How come they never made another liar? Liar?
They make sequels of every movie. That's a great seriously,
especially especially in the days today that we live in,
right where everyone's lying, you know, political people are lying
to each other and all that, you know, I.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Mean, And they've made sequels to movies that certainly did
not need sequels and weren't good to begin with.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
So it's uh, okay, it's weird.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
I guess just nobody out there has written a script
or a good enough script, and.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
You got to throw it out there. You got to
put it out in the coset, like like Truck or
Shane is doing. From where you at in Mississippi. Truck
or Shane, by the way, are you at right now?
Speaker 9 (32:01):
Fifty five? Coming up into Memphis in about thirty minutes here?
Speaker 2 (32:06):
All right, we'll save travels, all right, enjoy the enjoy
the barbecue, all right, thank you. Where's the great truck
of Shane heading into Memphis to drop some stuff off.
Isn't that where Elvis died?
Speaker 7 (32:19):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Well, the Elvis his home is in.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Memphis, right, Okay, but the bathroom wasn't in Memphis.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Memphis, I can say, well, did he die in the
bathroom at that? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
I don't know if the bathroom was at Graceland. It
might have been a hotel maybe maybe it was might have.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Been a cheesy hotel in Vegas or something like that.
You never know. Eating peanut butter and it was a
peanut butter, yeah it was. It wasn't Memphis. It wasn't Gracelane.
Oh oh look at me there you go.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Wow, So I've been there, but you don't. You don't
get to like see the bathroom there, you know what, you.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Take a dump where Elvis died. You know, did have
the same toilet in it that he sat on his
final axis? He's surrounded by candles.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
You do get to go into the house, but you
can't go upstairs, like there's a hole.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Did they flush the final time or is it still
in the bowl. I don't know, no idea, who knows?
Speaker 9 (33:08):
Yeah, my god?
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Alright, yeah, well I've often talked behind these microphones about
being a stat bandito. Some of you complain, oh you
do is jok about his stop part. Well, I saw
one of the all time great puffy sticker worthy, puffy
sticker worthy stat bandita performances I've ever seen. This was
(33:30):
in the Monday night game. So if you didn't see
the game and you're a low information fan, you say, well,
Toua wasn't that bad. I don't understand why people are
ripping Tua. It's not his fault. If you if you
look at the box score, Tua had okay numbers. He
wasn't great, but he was okay. He had two touchdowns,
(33:51):
He averaged nine yards per pass, He had two hundred
and fifty three yards, He completed almost eighty percent of
his passes, had a passer rating of one hundred and thirteen,
which I'm told is good. And then you realize he
did that as el bandito, the stat bandito you see
through three quarters of this game. To a tongue of
(34:12):
Iloa was six of ten passing going to the fourth quarter,
sixty five yards, no touchdowns, one wounded duck interception, and
then the game over in garbage time. In the fourth quarter,
the Dolphins realizing they had no mathematical chance to come back,
they lolly gagged around. They didn't hustle, they didn't run
the hurry up offense. They took their time, they ran
(34:34):
down the play clock, and to a tongue of my
loa gets the puffy sticker in the fourth quarter sixteen
of eighteen, passing one hundred and eighty eight yards in
the fourth quarter and two touchdown passes for the Dolphins.
I did the math on this, the malor math, all right,
malor math on this. Seventy four percent of his passing
(34:56):
yards came in garbage time in the fourth quarter, and
one hundred percent of his touchdown passes game dumpster diving
in garbage time. So tremendous effort you do get a
puffy sticker to a one of the all time let's
fool the dumb people performances in the fourth quarter of
a game that was blow out city, blow out city.
(35:18):
In fact, it was twenty eight to three. Early in
the fourth quarter, the Steelers has scored a touchdown, and
from that point forward the Dolphins scored the final couple
of touchdowns. And too, I just had a field day.
Absolute field day.
Speaker 6 (35:32):
Is very.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
Yes, let's say a little Lucky Tony, who's hanging out
in the Bay Area. What's going on? Lucky Tony?
Speaker 9 (35:41):
Hey Ben, how do I know when Aaron Rodgers is
thinking about my nuts?
Speaker 2 (35:47):
I don't know because his sister has the same expression.
Thanks Ben, okay, thank you so Lucky Tony. Time down
for the who am I game? You'll hear that on
the podcast. Here's the who am I Game? Seahawks kicker
Jason Myers Jason myerst somebody else starting horror movies. But
Jason Myers thirty seven field goals made this season. He
(36:12):
is eight away from breaking my record who for a
single NFL season. Again, the Seattle seahactually had six field
goals because Sam Arnold sucks. Uh So the kicker Jason
Myers of Seattle thirty seven field goals now made this season.
He's eight away from baking breaking my record for a
single season for most field goals made? Who in a
(36:34):
single season? Who am I? That is the question? The answer.
We'll get to it. We will do it next.

We go to the Land of the Yinzer for some
(39:31):
pig skin magic. Rogers in the shotgun taps both sides
of the helmet, one on the plate clock gets a snap,
Dolphins bringing pressure throw over the middle. It is complete.
The dk metcalp pearls aside.
Speaker 9 (39:43):
One defender stick harding and other.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
Zone for the Pittsburgh Steelers touchdown whatever by Dk metcalp
It was good effort by him and tremendously bad tackling
by the team to Miami, but let's not talk about
that part. It is the of the day, the ti
Iraq play of the day. For over forty years, ty
Iraq has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive. Ship fast and free back

tire buying should be. Dk metcalf had three catches fifty
five yards, receiving twenty eight of those yards twenty eight
of them on that touchdown. We just played the play
of the day, so tire rack dot com the way
(40:29):
tire buying should be. Time for the payoff on the
who am I? Game? And this is where we pretend
to be somebody else and you have to use your
amazing sports knowledge to figure out who we are. Seattle
Seahawks kicker Jason Myers has thirty seven field goals made.
He is eight away from breaking my record for a
(40:51):
single season. Who in NFL? His story who am I?
That is the question. What is the answer? And let's

Here we go.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Welcome, it's our number one. Happy Tuesday to you. It
is the sixteenth day of December. As we are hanging
outside by side here in our number one. What stood
out about two a tongue of Iloa's play for the
Dolphins as Miami got smashed by the Pittsburgh Steelers in
(00:22):
the Monday night came last night? Also, can you unscramble
the latest gibberish from Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel that has
gone viral from the postgame news commerce? And are you
back on the Steelers Aaron Rodgers band wagon after this
dominating win the Steelers in the driver's seat to win
(00:43):
the AFC North. We'll talk about that and more right now.
Settle in. It's our number one. It is a winter wonderland,
well not not for everybody. Hold, I gotta move this computer.
(01:03):
So it's the shoveled message here. Guys don't bring their
moms to work. We are in the air ev rewhere.
That's why we're hanging out side by side here making
some kind of audio connection as we have the golden
Goodies coast to coast, border to border and beyond on
(01:26):
the vast and pleasantly powerful microphones of FSR am monating
live from the tail as we high tail it each hour.
We high tail it here from the world famous Fox
Sports Radio studios, as Stevie Meatballs reminds us, this hour
(01:46):
made possible in part by our friends at tire Rack.
For over forty years, Tyraq has been helping customers like
alf Fergdog and mister Niskuy find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive. Ship ass and free back

mobile tire installation, tire ract dot Com, the Way that
(02:10):
tire buying show b and we're back at it again.
I hope life is treating you. Okay, we're hanging out
talking about sports, big sporty, what kind of kind we
go through the sports windows? So our lead this hour
from the confluence where the Ohio River is born. Right there,
(02:34):
the Manhangahila and the Alleghany form the Ohio River and
the island game. You know, I love my island games.
I live the island life. As Joe Buck and Troy Aikman,
the Fox refugees there had to call on ABC from
Western Pennsylvania hanging out there the dolphins and Steelers doing
(02:54):
some wrangling to close out the weekend in the NFL?
Did you watch any of this game? Did this interest
you at all? What much of a game? No, you
didn't watch it? What else were you watched? Nothing else?
Speaker 3 (03:06):
On?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Can't watch that NBA crap. That's terrible, all right, So
maybe you didn't see it. Old man aerit Rogers, as
far as we know, not a grandfather and possibly a husband.
We're not sure about that. The woman to be seen later,
do do do do do do do do do do
do do? What's she at the game? She could have been?
(03:26):
Who knows. Nobody knows if it's really a person anyway.
Aaron Rodgers two hundred and twenty four yards passing and
two two touchdowns and the Steelers they molly wopped the
Dolphins twenty eight to fifteen. They scored not indicative of
the deciding outcome. The game was over a lot of
(03:47):
garbage time in the fourth quarter there on Monday night.
So the Steelers are maintaining the top spot in the
AFC North Pittsburgh at eight and six. They need one
more win to continue the streak of a five hundred seasons.
They also need one more win if it's the right
win to end up wrapping up the division. They'll get
a home game on wild Card weekend and for the
(04:10):
second straight game Pittsburgh in the winners circle here and
twenty third straight at home on Monday Night football. This
Cheers went twenty three consecutive. They brought this up. They
had a lot of garbage time on ABC. They among
the filler they used, they showed Joe buck going into
the Baseball Hall of Fame. They did that. They kept
(04:30):
showing random weird people in the crowd to fill time.
If you made a sign, you got on TV. There
was a lot of filler, a lot of filler here
in this game. But these Steelers ended up overwhelming the
once proud Dolphins. Course, anybody that remembers the Dolphins good
is old like you gotta be an old geeze. Like
the teams that used to be good have sucked for
(04:54):
a long time. They Dolphins blow that, Dallas Cowboys are embarrassment,
the Raiders. Those teams were the staples of the NFL
for many, many years, but long gone. As Ernie Harwell,
another long gone broadcaster, would say, like a house on
the side of the road. There so Miami's they're done.
They're absolutely out. That's it. They're out of the playoff picture.
(05:16):
There like they were gonna get in. They've been eliminated
yet again. Nana na da da da goodbye. Not that
you ever had a shot to really make it a
futile effort. And you know we love losers. The Ben
Malor Show loves losers. So let's talk about some losers.
Good jumping off point. Let us discuss and the quarterback
(05:38):
getting absolutely charboiled. Here do you like Charbroyle Dolphin? Okay, well,
the quarterback to a tongue of I Law getting destroyed.
So the question what stood out or stood down about
to a tongue of Ilawo's play for the Dolphins. So
on this one, I've got the shining Oscar Meyer and
(06:02):
DC comics and we will combine all of these things
together and we're gonna have some Iron City beer. It
was the Pittsburgh Steelers. They kick the crap out of
the Dolphins. They need to get some Iron City beer
on that flight back to Miami, which they're on right now,
heading to South for it. So hey, let's start with this.
(06:23):
The Dolphins walked into Pittsburgh and it was like a
magic tricks, like a more like a science trick than
a magic trick. It's like a science trick, a science
trick from like junior high school, where it's like, okay,
what temperature do things start freezing over? And then we
turned we found out that dolphins actually they start freezing
and they turned into push pops. They were teal push pops.
(06:44):
The dolphins there in the second late in the second
quarter and the third quarter there absolutely gutless the cold weather.
I think these guys, even though you live in Miami,
a lot of them are come from the Midwest to
the East coast. Are not all from the west coast
to the south where it's warm most of the time.
And these guys collectively are just a bunch of softies.
(07:07):
And it's just ridiculous here what happened. Cold weather hits
and Miami goes cold. In fact, they don't even go cold.
They go frozen is what they do here. And this
was against a steel team. If you didn't watch the
Steelers all year, you think, body, they're pretty good. I mean,
I understand that's why they are leading the division. No,
(07:29):
they suck. The Steelers are a bad team. They were
twenty eighth in the You're Being Mean Meller twenty eighth
in the NFL and defense coming into that game twenty eighth,
and yet toa it looked like the greatest Hits album
of Steelers defense. I thought I saw Troy Polamalo out there,
(07:49):
the ghost of Kevin Green, Jack Lambert making tackles the
whole Steel Curtain Reunion tour, who was playing against the Dolphins.
Ta They showed him. There was one shot and I
didn't jot down. I think it was in the in
the second quarter. I didn't jut down the time. But
(08:10):
Tua look like Jack Nicholson in The Shining You know
that it's been turned into a meme, but that famous scene,
it looked like he was in ice and staring blankly,
and the thing of a jig was not working. Was
it was Tua doing his cosplay of Jack Nicholson from
the Shining Year and plus the Dolphins defense, they allowed
(08:33):
a middling Steeler offense to have four consecutive touchdown drives,
good afternoon, good evening, and good night. As the Dolphins
decided that tackling was optional, they quiet quit at halftime.
We're not sure. The rumor is that they were just
sitting around watching only fans at halftime, and they tossed
in the sponge there when they came out all phases. Now,
(08:56):
this also presents quite the predicament for the Dolphins here.
And the Dolphins predicament is they have an underlying condition.
That's the predicament here. And you can remodel the roster
and they likely will do that. You can get a
new coach that actually knows what he's doing, they'll probably
do that as well. And you can light candles, you
(09:18):
can burn sage, it doesn't really matter because Tua, his
underlying condition is he malfunctions when the weather gets cold.
And that's just the reality of the situation, right, that's it.
Under forty degrees, he's played eight games, one in seven,
and the stat line on Tua horrific, horrific, And so
(09:40):
it's not a trend. It's I mean, just look at
the weather report we did Benny versus the Penny. At
the time we did it, we didn't anticipate the weather
being that nasty on Monday night in Pittsburgh. Well you know,
it wasn't like snowing or anything of that, but it
was cold, and that's what you'd expect in mid December
cold weather, and you look around the Dolphins if they
(10:02):
ever got good. You look around the AFC, and you're
gonna have to play outdoor games. The Patriots are pretty
good this year, so if they continue to be good,
they'll have outdoor home games. The Ravens will likely be
there most of the time. The Steelers, Buffalo, these are
all outdoor cold weather teams, not domes outdoor cold weather teams,
(10:23):
and so you're gonna have to go into those places
and play unless you just have home field advantage in Tua.
Either that or you can go on TEAMU and find
something to fix the do hickey which keeps freezing over
and going doink when the playoff games are not playoff games,
which is big nighttime games, cold weather games, it just
(10:44):
doesn't go well. And the total stat bandito from Tua
in this game, we'll have more on that in a minute.
And so the real question though for Tua is there
is a way to get out of his deal and
to move on. Do the guys that own the team,
(11:04):
and Stephen Ross is the big one. He's pretty old
and Michigan guy Stephen Ross, does he have the machismo
to get rid of tour. Does he have the machiezmo
now turn the Patriot, but not far the in Battled
Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel went viral on his post game
(11:25):
and he usually goes viral. Here he did go viral
yet again, the Dolphins coach just addressing what happened. This
was a one score game at halftime. The Dolphins actually
looked somewhat decent very early in the game, and then
as the game went on after halftime, the third quarter
was a awakening for the Pittsburgh Steelers and it was
(11:46):
nap time for the Miami Dolphins, and so that led
I believe we have the right bite. All right, here's
Mike McDaniel, and this is a SoundBite of him postgame
trying to explain what happened to the Dolphins. And listen,
this is a head coach, the leader of a multi
billion dollar NFL franchise, trying to explain what went wrong.
(12:07):
Take a listen.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
As hard as we tried, that was a little too
deflating because we knew that was an important area of
focus that we really wanted to be good coming out
of that third quarter as a one score game. And
you know, I thought that was a gigantic momentum swing.
(12:31):
You know, had a couple opportunities on that drive and
the following drive to make some plays, and we didn't
make the place they did.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Okay, can we get that man a tissue? Can we
get him a nice tissue to clean his nose out?
So that's a head coach of an NFL franchise, So question,
can you unscramble the latest gibberish from the Dolphins coach
Mike McDaniel. As you just heard there, we played pretty
much all of it. There were some other bikes as
well that we're pretty pretty out there. So I ran
(13:00):
this through the Mallard Dacota ring, and I take this
job very seriously. I don't just come in here in
half asset. I have a Mallard Dacota ring, and I
use the Mallard decoder ring. And the word that kept
popping up the official translation on the Mallard Dakota ring
whack a doodle. That's the word. So and the Decota
ring is never wrong. If it says whack a doodle,
it's whack a doodle. Whack a doodle doo is what
(13:22):
it is here. So this wasn't some deep philosophical perspective
from the Dolphins coach. He was not doing a deep
dive on the state of the Miami Dolphins. He was not.
This is in fact, this was standard chow. This is
standard chow. Here's some reheated leftovers from Mike McDaniel. There,
(13:44):
half baked, foggy like he's speaking pig Latin, but only
after he fell off the back of a wagon. And
then he's speaking pig Latin. And his superpower, I believe
everyone's got a superpower, hollering. James superpower is sleeping his
blind Scott's superpowers annoying people. He's really good at that.
(14:04):
Jed who fled. His superpower is talking so fast you
don't understand what he's saying. And in the case of
the Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel, his superpower is marblemouth. Marblemouth
and it sounds like a guy when he's talking and
saying um and awe, the um and aws of the world,
it sounds like he's driving the Oscar meyer wienermobile. A
(14:26):
lot of filler. Those are filler phrases um and awe.
People at study language when you don't know what you're
going to say or you're pausing to try to buy
time to find out what you're gonna say next. You
say um and awe. It's a lot of filler. There's
some preservatives in there as well, empty calories, just like
a nice processed hot dog. UM and ah are the
(14:50):
hot dogs of the spoken word. They are. And here's
the thing. A big part, whether you like it or not,
a big part of the job as head coach of
an NFL team or any sports team professionally, is you
are the spokesman of the franchise. That's your job. You're
the face of it. You're the front man, you're the
(15:10):
Carnival barker, all of those things mixed together. Instead, Mike
McDaniel keeps rambling like a GPS that lost its satellite
signal and foot and mouth disease every time they lose.
Even when they win, we just don't play it. When
they lose, we play it. And he's tongue tied, exasperated
(15:32):
and circling the drain verbally on a weekly basis. If
only the Dolphins could play the Jets again, or play
the New Orleans Saints, one of those type teams, they'd
be in good shape. Thus they are not it's always
the same movie, though with Mike McDaniel. We've been doing
this for a couple of minutes and McDaniel comes in
there and a lot of pauses. It's the same movie,
(15:55):
long pauses, no payoff, and then just like the Dolphins
often punting on fourth down because they did not get
the line to gain there and in some strange odd way,
I'm gonna miss this. I'm gonna miss this. He's not
gonna last as Dolphin coach unless the Dolphins are a
fraud franchise mere they are just assuming that they'll get
(16:15):
rid of him, try to hire a real coach, and
so McDaniel slide back into the OC of some NFL
team and that'll be that, and we won't get these
sound bites anymore. He won't be a head coach, so
we'll miss it. He'll go back to OC duty and
some meat head will come in there and replace him
an orator of the franchise. Now, the last word on
(16:37):
the Petsburg Steelers side of things, The yinsers the question,
now that Pittsburgh got a dominating win to get to
eight and six on the year, are you back on
the Pittsburg Steelers. Aaron Rodgers bandwagon or band wagoneer, as
(16:58):
Blair and Maine said, many many years ago, are you
back on these Steelers? Aaron Rodgers bandwagon here after this
dominating win over the Miami football team. So I'll go
here first, shake him my head. No. If you can
see me in live real time, you're a loser. You
can watch on YouTube. I'm shaking my head. No. Uh so,
(17:19):
let's slow down here. Hit the pause button on the
I'm gonna hit the pause button on the remote control.
Hit the pause button there. Do not overreact. Do not overreact,
Like you just found five bucks in the back pocket
of your favorite blue jeans. You were watching that you
had you washed them, but you hadn't washed them in
a while, and you found five bucks and you're like, wow,
that's probably cool. I don't use use cash. I normally
(17:40):
use a credit card. And just calm down, Calm down,
as Aaron Rodgers would say. Relax, That's what he would say.
And so did the Steelers look shiny?
Speaker 5 (17:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (17:52):
They did. They look good? They did they look good.
Aaron Rodgers had some vintage throws in this game, had
some zip on a few of those intermediate throws, which
he normally does not throw check that box. However, let's
not confuse a as the kids say, a heater. Let's
not confuse that with a heat wave. The phrases are different.
(18:16):
You have a heater and then you have a heat
wave in Pittsburgh, tickling the funny bone. For those that
are like, oh man, they're back, I'm giddy, I'm laughing
all they're really just ticking up a little bit, just
a little bit in the right direction, I'll grant you
that they are headed that way. I didn't hear any
(18:36):
fire Mike Tomlin chance after that game, as the Steelers
have that one game lead in the AFC Norse, so
I didn't hear any of that. And the defense was
crushing skulls for some of this game. Demolition, derby style football, helmets,
flying dolphins, playoff dream shattered, all of those things, all
of those things regardless, though this particular game was less
(19:00):
about the Steelers ascending and more about the Dolphins turning
into frozen skid marks on the side of the turnpike
there as they were horrific. They didn't just lose, they
got thawed and evaporated. They just vanished. And that's it now,
Rogers again. He looked good, not great most of the night.
(19:23):
The key phrase though, he's thirty's forty thirty forty two,
and so we know that Father Time is undefeated. I
heard that years ago. Father Time on defeas Even if
you bring some crystals from Andrea in the Bay Area
and you can have a party, have some crystals. You
(19:45):
can also bring the Farmer's Almanac and a bunch of
supplements from Tijuana and then get together at a darkness
retreat and do all of those things. Good luck. My
advice to Mike Tomlin is to go to DC Comics,
bring in a super villain, mister Freeze. Bring in mister
Freeze here for the playoffs because cold weather Rogers magic.
(20:09):
Saw a lot of that in Green Bay, a lot
of those type of games in Green Bay. However, it
only works in these short little bursts. There is a
scenario where the Steelers win the division, they play a
home playoff game, and there's a chance they play a
second playoff game in the division round. Could it be
in Buffalo? Maybe two cold weather games. The Bills are
(20:31):
not invincible. There's no one that's invincible in the NFL
this season. And remember, all you need is if Tom
that can bring in mister Freeze here from DC Comics
and get that going for the last month, you only
need a month and a half. You need January and
half of February to get the bling bling the ring ring.
That's all you have to do. I play well in
(20:52):
January and February if you get in. However, let's be real,
it is much more likely, if you were to look
at the wheel of possible abilities, it is much more
likely that Aaron Rodgers in mid February will be sitting
in Austin, Texas talking about lizard people with Joe Rogan,
then getting ready to play the La Rams in the
(21:14):
Super Bowl in Northern California. It's much more likely that happens.
So let's pump the brakes. Pump the breaks. Now, pump
the brakes. Okay, their work. Got that NASCAR old school
restrictor plate on the Steelers. That get to the playoffs
and they can play the Dolphins in the playoffs. They're
in good shape. I'm told the Dolphins will not be
in the playoffs. That's what I'm told eight seven, seven
(21:37):
ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven nine nine six
six three sixty nine. We will have the rundown on
X at Ben madhad and put it up. Yet I
was busy doing a couple of things in the back
there and so did not have time to get to that.
Juggling a lot of plates, spinning a lot of plates,
juggling a lot of balls. So that's how that works.
(21:58):
But if you want to be part on X at
Ben mal got to follow me on there. We read
a lot of comments and some of you get intimidated.
I get emails, oh my god, you are always about
Alf and then the late night drug tester and Stevie
Meatballs and Lady Sideburns. These are the characters. You can
be one of the characters. I don't care. I'll read
anything pretty much at Ben Maler on the phones at
(22:21):
eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. That's eight seven
seven nine nine six six three sixty nine. If you'd
like to be part, well, the Puffy Sticker goes to
a Puffy Sticker worthy performance. We'll get to that and
we will do it next.

(25:17):
And that's the cast of characters that are here in
the Who's GW the audio, Who's Goo? And now back
to it all? Right, back to what we go and
it's the Eenie Meenie miney mo and shaneon Mooy says,
I disagree with you Ben on the Raiders and Cardinals
being quitters. They are just awful. They like to try
(25:37):
and we see the result. Quitters are like guys who
get married and can't listen to the show. Those guys
are quitters. I'm married, my wife wants to dress up.
You're taking a shot Shane at Jason and Ottawa is
what you're doing and that's that's a low blow. And
I know what you're doing here. You don't really you
believe the Cardinals are quitters and the Raiders are quitters.
(25:58):
They are. You don't get out gained by three hundred
yards if you're trying as a professional football player. Andy
in Line Lakes writes, and he says another a plus
on the mal monologue. I don't know how you do
it night after night. I'm struggling to show my work,
show up to my work night after night. The only
thing that keeps me coming to work is knowing I
(26:20):
get to listen how about this? How about this sucking up?
I get to listen to you each night to make
it more bearable. Well, thank you, Andy, Andy and Linel Lakes.
Can you be my agent? Andy, and I want to
negotiate this. See what else do we have? Ferg Dog says,
I'm tired of people always complaining about late night drug
tester hogging all the airtime. If you if you don't
(26:42):
want to hear him, call in yourself. That's right. What
else do we have? Parito? See here? Parito says many
shocking I never figured you to enjoy juggling balls, He says,
juggling reference that was made there, King Royce. I see
your ball, sir, I'd like to see He says. How
(27:02):
poetic would it be for Aaron Rogers to end his
career by winning the Super Bowl in Northern California and
beating the team that snubbed him not only on Draft
Day twenty years ago, but also in the playoffs of
years past. The forty nine Ers to the NFL scriptwriters
even there. I'll tell you what, if brock Perty and
(27:25):
the Niners want to go to the Super Bowl, there's
a block of tickets in the end zone that they
can get. They can all sit together in the end
zone and watch the Super Bowl. The number one Burner,
he says, nice reference to the shining mister Maller. He
said he enjoyed that. Well, thank you. Crying Craig is
(27:48):
up with us in Seattle, he says. A Christmas song
that I have a hard time not crying when singing
is do they know it's Christmas? Especially the snow in
Africa line? That is that's from Craig crying Craig who
lives in Seattle, So that's it's excitingsolute Nick and Nebraska
(28:11):
wrote in earlier he wanted to know. Has anyone asked
what the hell helmet man is doing in the shower
for ninety minutes? His right hand is getting a workout.
Is he's singing a concert set to the Roaches? My
right hand was getting a work out doing laundry dishes.
What the f is he doing? Well, that's the mystery
(28:33):
of helmet man. That's the magic of helmet man. We
don't really know what he's doing. We think that since
he's living in some shall we say assisted living, well
not if that's the right term. I think the find
taxpayers are subsidizing it. So I figure he's not paying
the water bill. Because if you're paying the water bill,
you take five minute showers. You don't take ninety minute showers. Right,
(28:54):
You've got to pay the bill. So when you go
to a hotel, you make sure you take a really
long shower. Yeah, you take a bath. A shower and
a bath is what you do. Late night drug tester says,
thanks for watching the Monday night football game for us.
Ben I was busy watching the overtime thriller between the
Winnipeg Jets and the Ottawa senators. Wow, that's uh, that's
(29:15):
next level. I fell asleep. I wonder how much you
bet on that. Ferg Dog says, why is Loraina filling
in for Mark? What is he doing tonight? I don't
know what Mark's doing. He might be he's busy tonight.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
I had to come in.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
He might be in Chicago. I don't know what he's doing.
I have no idea. Let's go to the phones. Let's
say hello to Eenie meenie, miney moll. Look at this trucker.
Shane's gonna make us all really rich. So I'm gonna
go to him first. He's driving around Mississippi. Hello, trucker Shane. Welcome,
all right.
Speaker 9 (29:42):
All right, thank you, all right, cheer me out, all right,
all right, you guys are to become millionaires. Okay. I
thought about this one and hard all right, coops, coming
our retirement. I'm make Lylaer Part two. And you're all
being being a movie with him because in the movie
he works on the Ben Mahler Show. Okay, and because
(30:04):
everyone loves a Ben Aller show, they're all gonna go
see the movie. I want to see you all act,
want to see him act because.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
I and Dunston.
Speaker 9 (30:12):
He's a kid. It's gonna be the movie of the summer.
Speaker 5 (30:16):
Okay, I love this ite.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
I'm on boy, all right, So I need I need
two things. Okay, here's what I need. I need you
to write the script, and I need to sell the
script to a studio.
Speaker 9 (30:26):
I got it.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
You haven't read it, though you have, you have to
write it.
Speaker 9 (30:30):
I'm gonna write the script, and I'm gonna say he
gets all kinds of trouble working for you, all right.
I didn figure it out while you're away filming, who's
gonna fill in for you on the show?
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Okay, really, I don't even know who's feeling for me.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Don't film at eleven PM two.
Speaker 9 (30:48):
No, you're gonna have Jet hu Flett come on at
night and d're on the show while you guys are going.
I think this would be great.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
So Jet will be the fill in host.
Speaker 9 (30:56):
Okay, it'll be the Jet fled and his whoever you
want on their holler and James whatever and while you
guys are with and then you guys are gonna make millions.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Okay, Well I don't I don't disagres. It's a great idea.
And uh, people over at the studios in town. If
they're listening there, you know, contact us will.
Speaker 9 (31:15):
Make the Jim in the movie too, because.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Okay, I'm sure, sure, sure, okay, all right, well there
you go. We had all figured out just the liar
they make it? How come they never made another liar? Liar?
They make sequels of every movie. That's a great seriously,
especially especially in the days today that we live in,
right where everyone's lying, you know, political people are lying
to each other and all that, you know, I.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Mean, And they've made sequels to movies that certainly did
not need sequels and weren't good to begin with.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
So it's uh, okay, it's weird.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
I guess just nobody out there has written a script
or a good enough script, and.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
You got to throw it out there. You got to
put it out in the coset, like like Truck or
Shane is doing. From where you at in Mississippi. Truck
or Shane, by the way, are you at right now?
Speaker 9 (32:01):
Fifty five? Coming up into Memphis in about thirty minutes here?
Speaker 2 (32:06):
All right, we'll save travels, all right, enjoy the enjoy
the barbecue, all right, thank you. Where's the great truck
of Shane heading into Memphis to drop some stuff off.
Isn't that where Elvis died?
Speaker 7 (32:19):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Well, the Elvis his home is in.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Memphis, right, Okay, but the bathroom wasn't in Memphis.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Memphis, I can say, well, did he die in the
bathroom at that? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
I don't know if the bathroom was at Graceland. It
might have been a hotel maybe maybe it was might have.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Been a cheesy hotel in Vegas or something like that.
You never know. Eating peanut butter and it was a
peanut butter, yeah it was. It wasn't Memphis. It wasn't Gracelane.
Oh oh look at me there you go.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Wow, So I've been there, but you don't. You don't
get to like see the bathroom there, you know what, you.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Take a dump where Elvis died. You know, did have
the same toilet in it that he sat on his
final axis? He's surrounded by candles.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
You do get to go into the house, but you
can't go upstairs, like there's a hole.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Did they flush the final time or is it still
in the bowl. I don't know, no idea, who knows?
Speaker 9 (33:08):
Yeah, my god?
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Alright, yeah, well I've often talked behind these microphones about
being a stat bandito. Some of you complain, oh you
do is jok about his stop part. Well, I saw
one of the all time great puffy sticker worthy, puffy
sticker worthy stat bandita performances I've ever seen. This was
(33:30):
in the Monday night game. So if you didn't see
the game and you're a low information fan, you say, well,
Toua wasn't that bad. I don't understand why people are
ripping Tua. It's not his fault. If you if you
look at the box score, Tua had okay numbers. He
wasn't great, but he was okay. He had two touchdowns,
(33:51):
He averaged nine yards per pass, He had two hundred
and fifty three yards, He completed almost eighty percent of
his passes, had a passer rating of one hundred and thirteen,
which I'm told is good. And then you realize he
did that as el bandito, the stat bandito you see
through three quarters of this game. To a tongue of
(34:12):
Iloa was six of ten passing going to the fourth quarter,
sixty five yards, no touchdowns, one wounded duck interception, and
then the game over in garbage time. In the fourth quarter,
the Dolphins realizing they had no mathematical chance to come back,
they lolly gagged around. They didn't hustle, they didn't run
the hurry up offense. They took their time, they ran
(34:34):
down the play clock, and to a tongue of my
loa gets the puffy sticker in the fourth quarter sixteen
of eighteen, passing one hundred and eighty eight yards in
the fourth quarter and two touchdown passes for the Dolphins.
I did the math on this, the malor math, all right,
malor math on this. Seventy four percent of his passing
(34:56):
yards came in garbage time in the fourth quarter, and
one hundred percent of his touchdown passes game dumpster diving
in garbage time. So tremendous effort you do get a
puffy sticker to a one of the all time let's
fool the dumb people performances in the fourth quarter of
a game that was blow out city, blow out city.
(35:18):
In fact, it was twenty eight to three. Early in
the fourth quarter, the Steelers has scored a touchdown, and
from that point forward the Dolphins scored the final couple
of touchdowns. And too, I just had a field day.
Absolute field day.
Speaker 6 (35:32):
Is very.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
Yes, let's say a little Lucky Tony, who's hanging out
in the Bay Area. What's going on? Lucky Tony?
Speaker 9 (35:41):
Hey Ben, how do I know when Aaron Rodgers is
thinking about my nuts?
Speaker 2 (35:47):
I don't know because his sister has the same expression.
Thanks Ben, okay, thank you so Lucky Tony. Time down
for the who am I game? You'll hear that on
the podcast. Here's the who am I Game? Seahawks kicker
Jason Myers Jason myerst somebody else starting horror movies. But
Jason Myers thirty seven field goals made this season. He
(36:12):
is eight away from breaking my record who for a
single NFL season. Again, the Seattle seahactually had six field
goals because Sam Arnold sucks. Uh So the kicker Jason
Myers of Seattle thirty seven field goals now made this season.
He's eight away from baking breaking my record for a
single season for most field goals made? Who in a
(36:34):
single season? Who am I? That is the question? The answer.
We'll get to it. We will do it next.

Dolphins bringing pressure throw over the middle. It is complete.
The dk metcalp pearls aside.
Speaker 9 (39:43):
One defender stick harding and other.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
Zone for the Pittsburgh Steelers touchdown whatever by Dk metcalp
It was good effort by him and tremendously bad tackling
by the team to Miami, but let's not talk about
that part. It is the of the day, the ti
Iraq play of the day. For over forty years, ty
Iraq has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive. Ship fast and free back
(40:09):
by free road has a protection with convenient installation options
like mobile tire installation ti iraq dot com The way
tire buying should be. Dk metcalf had three catches fifty
five yards, receiving twenty eight of those yards twenty eight
of them on that touchdown. We just played the play
of the day, so tire rack dot com the way
(40:29):
tire buying should be. Time for the payoff on the
