Dunce cap for Mike Tomlin's Steeler says they lose as
road favorites against the Cincinnati football team and the icy
(01:06):
hot Bowl coast to Cincinnati. Is there a movie to
describe the unbelievably good performance of Joe Flacco and the
Bengals offense. We'll come up with the name of the movie. Also,
what grade did you give Aaron Rodgers in the Icy
Hot Bowl for Pittsburgh? He was on the losing side.
All that and more right now here it is our
(01:26):
number two. We'll call it what it is. Some geezer goodness.
Welcome in the beginning of another hour.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Of the Ben Mahler Show.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
We are in the air everywhere. That's right, we are
talk mates as we wind up the radio coast to coast,
border to border and beyond on the mast and flavorfully
powerful microphones of FSR AM monating live from the as
(02:01):
Benny's late night audio Munchie Meal is being served to
the early morning hours from the world famous Fox Sports
Radio studios, as approved by Jim in Colorado and sposwed

long time. Ty Iraq has been helping customers like Ruthie

Ship fast and free, which makes our friend the Fried

convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tire raq dot com.
(02:44):
The way tire buying should be. So a busy sporting net.
We started with baseball Last Star. We'll get back to
baseball later, but we move over.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
To the Queen City in Island Game in Island game.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
And that is the NFL Card Week seven Underway kicked
off on Thursday night as Al Michaels and Kirk kirk
Street had the call, did you watch this? Were you
engaged in a matchup that did not have a lot
of it factor leading into it?
Speaker 3 (03:14):
There were not a lot of excitement for it.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
The Steelers' sizeable favorite, sizable favorite in the road, Aaron
Rogers leading the party bus into Cincinnati against Joe Flacco
and the Bengals, a game so exciting that it was
dubbed the Icy Hot Bowl leading.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Into it in AFC.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
North Slopper Knocker, which was an eye opener. So if
you did not watch the game, maybe you're watching the
baseball game and you missed this, you might have missed it.
Joe Flacco, Yes, I know, Joe Flacco had three hundred
and forty two yards passing not one, not two, but
(03:54):
three touchdowns and matriculated the ball down the field, setting
up Evan mcpher for a thirty six yard field goal
with seven seconds left as the beat e and gee
ay Ls Bengals snapped a four game losing streak. They
win thirty three to thirty one on the last second
(04:14):
field goal to win over the Steelers on Thursday night,
the forty year old Joe Flacco out duel forty one
year old Aaron Rodgers as they went back and forth.
The better story, though, is in the losing locker room,
there's a lot of angst, a lot of angst on
the Steelers defense and the fact that a couple of
(04:38):
guys just had ridiculous performances. Now we mentioned Joe Flacco
and what he was able to do as he was
slinging the ball all over the place, and another Cincinnati player,
Jamar Chase.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Was wi open. He was wide open.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
It's like being out over the Pacific and you just
throw something out of a plane.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
It's gonna hit water. It's gonna hit at some point.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
There, and it was like, are the Steelers even trying defensively, like,
what are they doing?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
It makes no sense.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Here's Mike Tomlin, the longtime Steeler coach, discussing how Jamar
Chase absolutely embarrassed his defense. Take a listen.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
You know, we played these guys a bunch. We double
teamed them some, we double teamed five. So it's a
mix of mixes required. They got depth and talent. Just
like the one play eighty made down the middle, we
were double them both and they were one on one
in that circumstance. And so you know, as many way
as you can analyze it, but the bottom line is
they made more plays than we did.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Okay, So that's the default answer, and it's a good
jumping off point. So let us discuss who gets to
wear the dunce cap for Mike Tomlin's Petsberg Steelers. They Insers.
So on this I've got rebranding, Ben Stiller and Glazed Donut,
and we will combine all of.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
These things together and we will build the.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Tea all over the radio, all over the radio. So
all right, I know, so first of all, let's start
with TJ. Watt.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
All right, let's start with TJ.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Watt. He is the brand ambassador of that Steeler defense,
and they gave him the one hundred and twenty three
million dollar deal. They pay him plausibly to make game
changing plays, to make impact plays for the Steelers defense.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
How did that go? Well, he was putting.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Around out there, and if you want to know how
he did, don't ask what had as many tackles? As
many tackles as you had. That's it.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
He had half a sack.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
There was like one half of a tackle, like a
half combined thing, but no individual tackles and half a sack,
which was really like a charity thing. Yikes. It's not
all bad though. It's not all bad for TJ. Watt
because I'll be Betty bright side Watt had he had
no no numbers of any of note. However, he got
(07:03):
a good cardio game in, he got to work out,
good workout. In fact, I saw more plays being made
by Steely mcbeam the mascot than from from what The
Bengals offense, led by Joe Flacco, had four hundred and
seventy yards of offense, four hundred and seventy yards of offense,
(07:25):
three hundred and forty two passing yards, one hundred and
forty two rushing yards. This is not twenty twelve. All right,
this is not the twenty twelve. Now, they didn't lose
a few yards on sacks. That's why the numbers don't
completely add up. But insane. This is Joe pretty much
off the couch Flaco, who was benched, demoted by the
(07:49):
factory of sadness, carving up, absolutely carving up the once
proud Pittsburgh defense like they were a Halloween pumpkin. You
talk about a rebrand this is a time for a
rebranding in Pittsburgh. What an embarrassment The Steel Curtain, my
fat ass, The Steel Curtain that's rebranded to the Steel turnstile.
(08:13):
And Mike got that is a cultural loss, is what
that is? The old Steelers defense. If you add those
old Steeler defensive teams matched up against forty year old
Joe Flacco, all right, the fossilized body of Joe Flacco,
they would have dragged that through the mud, all right,
through the mud. This group handed him, Joe Flacco, a mint,
(08:35):
julip and a lawn chair. Holy canolly, Like, how bad
was it? It was so bad? Mike Tomlin, now he
was diplomatic. We played a little sound by from Tom
Mike Tomlin is gonna have that secondary, including the likes
of Jalen Ramsey, Darius Slay, Joey Porter Jr. They're all
gonna have to give him ten burpies, run at least
(08:57):
twenty hill sprints and several laps around on the outfield
because and also some updowns. Do some updowns as punishment.
And then we had Joey Porter Jr. The defensive back
of the Steelers, who had the hutzba to deflect some
of the blame for the absolute gutless performance by the defense.
(09:17):
You know who he blamed? What did he blame? The
schedule because it was on Thursday night. Who did he blame?
You think he blamed the travel because you know it's
so far from Pittsburgh to Cincinnati.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
My god, No, he blamed the officials. He blamed the zebras.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Porter In third, that Pittsburgh's defense absolutely could have held
the Bengals offense with Joe Flacco in check, but but
it was the officials. They were too stingy. They would
not let them play. And that is a special kind
of wackerdoodle. That is a special kind of whackerdoodle.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
All right.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Now, Secondly to the winning side, which is not as
good as side all right to the winning side.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
So the question here is there a movie? Let's play
the movie game. Is there a movie to.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Describe the Joe Flacco Bengals offensive performance, the unexpected performance?
Speaker 3 (10:10):
You make the call? What movie is it?
Speaker 2 (10:12):
All Right? So I'm gonna go first. Now the movie
I'm picking to describe Joe Flacco's performance for the Cincinnati
football team. Here's what I have. I wrote down on
my scorecard A Ben Stiller Classic Night at the Museum,
who says, no, come on?
Speaker 6 (10:28):
Right?
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Is that not the perfect movie to describe Joe Flacco.
The security guard discovers that the museum exhibits come to
life after sunset jump ball. Joe Flacco an artifact in
the NFL. And yet that museum piece Joe Flacco painted
a masterpiece for the Cincinnati offense. Man, and he did
(10:49):
it like if I was the offensive coordinator, assume you
as well, you would do the same thing. So we
were advising the quarterback of the Cincinnati Bengals, right, and
you just to go over. You say, okay, what are
you gonna do? How about I would say, use the
kiss method, right, keep it simple, stupid, And that's what
(11:10):
Flaco did. He had tunnel vision. He targeted Jamar Chase
twenty three times. Twenty three times, essentially a third of
the offensive plays I don't have the numbers in front
of it, about a third of the offensive plays of
the Bengals ran. He threw the ball to Jamar Chase.
Jamar Chase rewarded him with a game for the ages,
(11:31):
sixteen catches, one hundred and sixty one yards, and a touchdown.
And Flacco also got help from Chase Brown the non
existent Cincinnati running game. He had one hundred and eight yards.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
The huge issue for Flaco for years has been the hiccup.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
He's had a lot of hiccups, a lot of hiccups
turned the ball over quite a bit in recent years.
Flacco in this game was mister clean. No picks, no fumbles,
no obvious mistakes. Cincinnati was fifty percent on third down.
It could have been worse for Pittsburgh's defense. They only
converted the Bengals forty in the red zone in this game.
(12:11):
This performance was just what the doctor ordered. And now
the Bengals, I believe they have the Jets upcoming, which
is like a bye week. The Jets are on a
real NFL team, and so you can add another win
and all of us, all of us the boomerang up.
And now after a four game losing streak, you've now
won those early wins. You're three and four and all
(12:32):
you have to be is around five hundred, and you're
a playoff contender in the American Football Conference. Now final, fuck,
let's go back. We'll hip and we'll jump and jump
over the other side. Let's go to the Steelers side
of things. So mister Rogers' neighborhood. A close game. Pittsburgh
did take the lead late, the Bengals got the ball
(12:54):
and ran the clock essentially out for the game winning
field goal. Here's Aaron Rodgers on the nail bidy loss.
How upset is Aaron Rodgers, let's find out.
Speaker 7 (13:02):
Well, I think you got to realize. Listen, we want
to win every game. There needs to be an expectation
of winning. But this is a short week division opponent.
Anything had happened, obviously, Joe played really well for them,
and Chase and t got going for him. For this
is the NFL. You know, we had a chance to
really open up some space, but we'reformed two, still first
(13:23):
in the division. Got a couple. You know, home games
coming up back to back, another Sunday night opportunity against
my former team. So I'm not going to ride the
roller coaster, and I know Mike isn't and hopefully you
guys follow suit.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
All right, So that was very robotic, That was very
level headed. That was right off sports cliche dot com. Okay,
so the question is we go into mister Rogers neighborhood.
What grade? What grade did you give Rogers in the
Icy Hot Bowl for Pittsburgh So you didn't see the game,
Rodgers finished with two hundred and forty three yards passing
(13:56):
and four touchdowns. Sounds pretty good, that sounds sexy. Four touchdowns,
that's a lot. When you peel back the ayahuasca infused
onion on the Mallor report card, Now this is a
pass failed grade. This is not ABC one two three.
This is a pass fail grade. And unfortunately Rogers gets
(14:17):
what not a passing grade. As Lee Corso would say,
not so fast, my friends. If you think it's a
passing grade, this was like a glazed doughnut. It looked good,
kind of smelled good, but you bite into it and boom,
it's kind of a hollow. The middle parts hollow. You're like,
I want the full Rogers had the numbers. There wasn't
(14:37):
enough substance here. And you do the side by side comparison.
Joe Flacco outplayed Aaron Rodgers, so Aaron gets a failing
grade Cincinnati. You gotta understand how bad the Bengals are.
I don't think we can put into words how much
they blow or how much they had been terrible. It's
hard to believe they could be this bad with all
the blood, sweat and tears they put into these NFL practices,
(15:00):
we're told, and the Bengals had the NFL's thirty first
ranked defense. They played without Trey Hendrickson, their top defensive player,
their star Hendrickson, and Rogers, Yeah, he almost almost pulled
a rabbit out of his hat anyway, and so it's
(15:22):
no hard feelings. The good thing is Rogers can now
go home to his fake wife and she can cuddle
him and they'll be good together, and they can he
can talk to his imaginary wife and they'll have a
good times. But most games are lost, not one. And
that's the bugaboo on why we give Rogers a failing
great Not only did he fail in terms of the
(15:42):
yards and the offensive power of the Bengals compared to Pittsburgh.
But it's the little thing stupid, or in this case,
a couple of big things. Rogers tossed a pair of interceptions.
Well they weren't all who's full? All right, Well let's
do some other mass So Cincinnati on those two possessions.
On those two possessions, the Bengals scored ten points off
(16:08):
those turnovers, ten points off Rogers interceptions. Pittsburgh lost by
two points. You can do the math, whether it's Malar
math or whatever. You can't unring the bell on those interceptions.
You cannot unring the bell on those interceptions. It is
the Ben Malor Show. If you'd like to comment on
any of that, you can join us right now.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
The lines are.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Open at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox eight
seven seven nine nine six six three six nine. Still
nothing in the tabloids on Aaron Rodgers. Remember the story
he got married in the off season and no photo,
no no tadling. Girlfriend of the wife going to TMZ
(16:50):
for twenty grand to send photos in nothing. Make chill wonder,
Make she'll wonder what's going on? The other part of
is maybe Rogers could have. Since he got married to
an imaginary person, he could also have like an imaginary divorce, right,
because if you get imaginary married, you can then get
imaginary divorced. I'm just right, Lorena, Mary. I'm just saying,
(17:12):
you know, get one of those fly by night divorces
and you're in You're in good shape.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
Yeah.

All right back to it, and we have some rhythmic chanting.
(19:53):
We'll get to that coming up in a minute. I
mentioned last star we didn't pay it off. A name
brand MLB player going to get fired, get the pink slip.
That would be Nick Castellanos of the Philadelphia Phillies. Expected
to be released, could be traded, but most likely will
be released by the Philadelphia Phillies this offseason. Now, if
you're a fan of very awkward moments and you're on
(20:16):
social media, you know that Nick Castellanos was part of
one of the great moments in baseball history during the
I think it was during the pandemic times. I believe
that's right five years or so, right around there. And
mister Brenneman, the longtime Fox broadcaster no longer he was
(20:39):
doing a broadcast Cincinnati Reds game and the mic is
always on, and he made some comments about some would
say cigarettes in Europe or the Bay Area, and they
were on a hot mic, and he then had to
give an on air apology on what would be Marty
(21:00):
Veneman's last game there as a as a broadcaster with
the Reds. But he gave an apology, and as he
was trying to give this heartfelt apology, Nick Castellanos hit
a home run against the Royals and it made for
a very awkward moment, a very awkward moment. So yeah,
there he's expected to be leaving the Philadelphia Phillies.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
There is that we have some rhythmic chanting.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
The late night drug tester right since says the wrong
Pittsburgh team won last night. Tough birthday for Eddie and
he's as long as the Chargers win, I think he'll
he'll be okay. Nature Boy says that I gave the
wrong movie the you and I said that Joe Flacco
performing the way he did was like Night at the
(21:43):
Museum when the creatures come alive, the exhibits come alive,
and I think that's the perfect movie. He's going Jurassic
Park on that spocks Weeds all happy. What else do
we have to see? Page? And I think that's that's
good enough. We'll take some calls here before we do that, though.
We do have a developing story. Speaking of Jurassic Park,
there was a critter that has been captured in the
(22:05):
hallowed hallways where legends like Bob Golick and Tony Bruno
worked years ago. Rich Herrera, Craig Sheman, real broadcasting icons
who worked at Fox Sports Radio. Let's go breaking news
on the Ben Malors Show. Breaking News. Let's go now
for more on this developing story in depth team coverage.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Is it true? Fox Sports?
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Is it true that a creature that is said to
have survived a nuclear blast has been captured in the
studios of Fox Sports Radio? From are on this, Let's
go down to our reporter on the scene, our eyewitness reporter,
Lorena Well.
Speaker 9 (22:49):
Yes, Ben, it does seem to be that we have
captured one of the world's most devious creatures that can
get into anything, get out of anything, and survive everything
ex except for a styrofoam coffee cup.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
You what med its match? It's met its match?
Speaker 9 (23:06):
Yes, so yes, we came up on it ice and
slow coop coop caught it.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Well, Coop saw it.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
I caught it. You caught it.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
I did not catch it. Okay, you caught it, Coop.
Why didn't you catch it? Coop? You didn't? You just
gonna let it run free? Yeah? Yeah, all right. Uh
So the cockroach, uh, they are the reason. They run
all over it. You know, there's they're scavengers, the cockroach.
There's scavengers is what they are. And there's a rumor
and we're trying to get other witnesses to report this, Lorena,
(23:34):
but there's a rumor that the cockroach was going across
the hall. There's a there's a metal like, there's a
We have these big bank vault doors at Fox Sports
Radio and there's one spot we call it the killing grounds.
There's something about that. The cockroaches crawl over there and
they die in this one spot.
Speaker 9 (23:53):
I think they do it on purpose. They go there
to die.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
When they go to that spot.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
It's like for the cockroach's triangle. They go there. Yeah. Now,
the Internet says the cockroaches like to be touched, So, Loreena,
if you'd like to touch the cockroach, stop stop like
really big legs. They like something. Apparently, this is according
to the internet. They like feeling something solid in contact
(24:20):
with their bodies on all sides.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
They may eggs, a lot of them. Mama.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Cockroaches protect their eggs by enveloping them in a thick
protective case.
Speaker 9 (24:33):
And you know what, that's why you're not supposed to
step on cockroaches, because if you step on a cockroach,
the eggs that are inside potentially will stick to the
bottom of your shoe.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
And then you carry them with you.
Speaker 9 (24:46):
That protective coating does not kill them, right, so you
carry them to your new house, you take them to
wherever you go. Also, Ben, never put your bag on
the ground here at the studios because of the cockroaches.
I'm gonna put signs up around here. People have their
jackets and I'm like, if you have anything on the floor,
it could be contaminated.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Yeah. Well, some amazing factorids about the cockroach as well.
My favorite, and I've known this for years, One of
my great stories I love is Mike the Headless Chicken.
But the cockroach is better than Mike the Headless Chicken.
You can literally if you want, and you can test
this out. Cool. Why do you get your butcher knife
and you can chop the head off the cockroach and
a week or two later it will respond, it'll wiggle
(25:26):
its legs. The head isn't that important for the cockroach. Seriously,
this is an amazing factoid here. It's just a fun facts.
They don't need their heads.
Speaker 9 (25:37):
Fun fact.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Yeah, cockroach. Imagine if you lived your life and didn't
worry about your head getting cut off or you get
concussions or anything like that, you just be fine. Yeah,
that amazing. And cockroach is very fast. They're like the
Usain Bolt of the critters. The cockroach is able to
move very fast. They done the math on this, about
one point seven miles per hour for a little cockroach.
(26:01):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Right.
Speaker 9 (26:03):
When I was walking up to this one, right because
they could just dart at any moment, he could be like,
oh heck, no pooch.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
So we're thinking we should name it. It could be
like the mascot.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Remember there's a listener in Australia that sent me there's
a team in I have the hat here. I have
a big hat collection at the remote studio, but I
have the hat. Their mascot is the cockroach. I have
the cap here somewhere. I think an Ozzie rules like
a rugby team. I think I look it up. But
they're the cockroaches. And here's another factoid about the cockroach.
(26:37):
According to a mal fun fact scientists in Japan, cockroaches
can be conditioned like dogs. You know Pavlov's dogs.
Speaker 9 (26:48):
Dog tell me that you could train a cock.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Yeah, you can train a cockrede So this could be like, awesome,
we could do malard meet and greets. We could take
the cockroach out, people could take photos with it. We
could charge them and that awesome.
Speaker 9 (26:59):
And it's been pretty cool looking cockroach that actually isn't
a bad idea.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Yeah, this could be This would be great. Yeah, well
you're gonna hold on to it. Wait, no, no, no, the
rain will keep it for us. She'll be the keeper
of the cockroach and sholl hold on it. And so
we could go on tam and get a little clothes
for it. Oh, a little cockroach closed.
Speaker 9 (27:17):
Have you seen those madagascon cockroaches?
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Oh the big got a big yeah, the hissing cockroaches.
Speaker 10 (27:25):
I've held one of those.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Yeah, now the famous By the way, you're listening, you're saying,
what's a sports radio show? Why are they talking about cockroaches?
Because we know Loraina caught one. So we're talking about
cocker cockroaches. The famous story the cockroach was exposed to
ten thousand rads of radiation the same amount as the
(27:49):
nuclear bomb dropped on Japan during World War two, and
about ten percent survive. So they didn't all survive, but
ten percent survive. That's a nuclear bomb. And the last
factor what I have. The cockroach can hold its breath
(28:09):
for four to seven minutes at a time. Yeah, there
you go. So if you want to take a photo
of the cockroach, learner, we can name the cockroach. Yeah.
Speaker 9 (28:20):
See, the problem is, ben is I'm gonna have to
relocate it so it's an astyrofoam cup where no one
can see. And now I have to put it into
a different container.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
You have to move it to something else.
Speaker 9 (28:32):
Okay, I'll do it on the next break.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
All right, Larry says Coop did not catch the cockroach
because there's nothing Coop appreciates more than a free roach.
Very funny, Larry, very funny. Fir Ducks is loving these
cockroach fun facts. Keep them coming. There you go.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Let's find out if Lorena needs her head to serve.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Oh that's not very nice. I mean my god. All right,
let's go. Let's go the phones. Let's go to the
phones here, why not? And eny meany miny mo? Where
shall we go? Now, let's say hello to Blind Scott,
who's in Boston. Hello, Blind Scott, welcome.
Speaker 5 (29:14):
Oh hey, what's up. I'm glad you took my call
because I'm an expert on cockroaches. Here's how you get
rid of them. You scale the wall with a bottle
of mint spray. They hate men you, and you plug
all the holes the cor coroaches. I can hear them,
not so much anymore, but you used to be able
to hear them run across my fourth So I've actually,
you know, in the North End, we have cockroaches, said
the oldest animal ever, and they only live like a year.
(29:35):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 9 (29:36):
Yeah, but you're better apply like crazy short life's running
by the dozens.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Yeah, well you're e think too, Scott Scott. As you know,
Scott that the.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Fox Sports radio studios originally were a Denny's. They were
a Denny's. And so these are like thirty forty years
later generations of cockroaches. This is like, this is like
going back for humans. It would be going back to
like the sixteen hundre. There's been that many cockroaches that
have come and.
Speaker 5 (30:02):
Oh yeah, hey I could say this now we're say fair.
Speaker 6 (30:05):
Nobody will hear this.
Speaker 5 (30:06):
I got in trouble in the morning show. I was
gonna wear like a bulletproof vests and have them shoot
me in the chests with it.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Why would you do that?
Speaker 5 (30:15):
Because I wanted to like viral. I wanted to go
viral like Robbie Rhodesteamer, he's like from Boston. So but
it just backfired way too much where it's just kind
of creeply where I was going to like break into
like a radio host's house in the middle of the night,
you know what I'm saying. And then I got yeah, yeah,
I got cold for calling them too many times, and
then I went psycho on them and called them all
(30:38):
types of crazy names, and then I had to spend
the whole week apologizing and then they have like, yeah, so,
I mean, I try to leave this show to do
another show, but then the same thing happened on the
other show that I left to do this show, you
know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (30:50):
So, like you believe you guys, very it's very out
of character for you to send psycho messages to people
you don't odd.
Speaker 5 (30:58):
Yeah, Fred to talk to me, he said, No matter
how anybody makes you feel, you can never act that way.
It's psycho behavior, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Yeah, No, I understand. I've tried to I've tried to
reason with you. You don't normally listen to on a reason.
That's the problem. So that's the issue. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (31:17):
So in life, I've come to learn, like I'm forty
two years old now, that even if I'm right, no
matter what I say, if I start just yelling at people. Dude,
a fan ran over my mobility cane today from he
runs over my cane, breaks it in half, like right
outside my apartment, and then he tries not to pay
me for it, which wasn't a big deal. But like,
(31:38):
you run over my mobility cane and I'm going to
take a photo of your license plate and he goes.
You know, everything worked out at the end, it wasn't
a big deal. I'm so sick of being this law
enforcing blind person. You know, it's tiring in my life.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Understand, you're fighting for truth. You're fighting for truth. Justice
in the blind way is what you're fighting for. And
I must leave you there. Thank you, Blind Scot. Let's
go to Egall, who's in New York. Hello, eat Dog,
welcome me dog on Long Island.

Does insurance cover that, does it?
Speaker 6 (32:29):
I don't know about the Before I get to Melissa,
my dad, I just want to say, the Jets they
have bad quarterbacks. They're very terrible quarterbacks. Then they go
to another team and the other team Suran's in the
in the uh you know, and they played it like it's.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Almost like the It's almost like the Common Denominators the Jets.
Speaker 6 (32:53):
Yeah, nobly everybody beats the Jets.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
Maybe is it Fireman D's fault? Should we blame Fireman Ed?
Speaker 2 (33:00):
No?
Speaker 6 (33:01):
I won't find him, not at all. But I also
listen to this. I have a Mark Sanchez jersey. What
should I do with it?

Speaker 2 (39:47):
Here regard here he gets grilled.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
Coop all Loop.
Speaker 10 (39:56):
Daniel Jones was asked on Wednesday what it means to
him that people are talking about him as a potential MVP,
and Jones said, not much after six weeks. Ben, do
you think he'll still be talked about as an MVB
candidate at the end of the season.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
No, the Colts will come back down to earth and
no one's the MVP right now. The names that are
being tossed out are Drake may Maholmes is being mentioned.
The Chiefs don't have a great record, Baker Mayfield by
default is the favorite, and it doesn't matter. I mean,
it's nice to talk about for a segment on a
radio show. It doesn't matter. I don't believe Daniel Jones
will keep this up next.
Speaker 10 (40:29):
An anonymous Eagles player told an NFL in insider that
this season is starting to feel like the twenty twenty
three meltdown all over again.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
Ben.
Speaker 10 (40:36):
Do you think things will go that badly for Philly?
Speaker 2 (40:39):
Well, this is a pivot point this weekend. If they
beat the Vikings, they're fine. If not, panic at the
disco next.
Speaker 10 (40:45):
Matt Rule is the clear favorite to become the next
head coach at Penn States. Some analysts think this would
be a mistake, as he would be a lateral move.
Do you agree?
Speaker 2 (40:53):
Yeah, you know, it doesn't excite the fan base. If
he wins, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (40:57):
But he doesn't.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
You don't win the news conference with Matt Rule. He's
just kind of a blog. How'd we know? How'd we do?
I guess you passing? Come on, I passed with an A,
not a C. An A
Ding.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
No, it's our number two and how new you knew?
In our number two, a reminder that Benny Versus the
Penny has gone Hollywood. Hooray for Hollywood. Well it's gone global.
Oh really, yeah it has. If you've missed it, where

number two, talking foot ball, who gets to wear the
Dunce cap for Mike Tomlin's Steeler says they lose as
road favorites against the Cincinnati football team and the icy
(01:06):
hot Bowl coast to Cincinnati. Is there a movie to
describe the unbelievably good performance of Joe Flacco and the
Bengals offense. We'll come up with the name of the movie. Also,
what grade did you give Aaron Rodgers in the Icy
Hot Bowl for Pittsburgh? He was on the losing side.
All that and more right now here it is our
(01:26):
number two. We'll call it what it is. Some geezer goodness.
Welcome in the beginning of another hour.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Of the Ben Mahler Show.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
We are in the air everywhere. That's right, we are
talk mates as we wind up the radio coast to coast,
border to border and beyond on the mast and flavorfully
powerful microphones of FSR AM monating live from the as
(02:01):
Benny's late night audio Munchie Meal is being served to
the early morning hours from the world famous Fox Sports
Radio studios, as approved by Jim in Colorado and sposwed
on the Oregon Trail. This portion of the Ben Maler

long time. Ty Iraq has been helping customers like Ruthie
find the right tires for how, what and where they drive.
Ship fast and free, which makes our friend the Fried
Daddy very happy. Backed by free road hazard protection with
convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tire raq dot com.
(02:44):
The way tire buying should be. So a busy sporting net.
We started with baseball Last Star. We'll get back to
baseball later, but we move over.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
To the Queen City in Island Game in Island game.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
And that is the NFL Card Week seven Underway kicked
off on Thursday night as Al Michaels and Kirk kirk
Street had the call, did you watch this? Were you
engaged in a matchup that did not have a lot
of it factor leading into it?
Speaker 3 (03:14):
There were not a lot of excitement for it.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
The Steelers' sizeable favorite, sizable favorite in the road, Aaron
Rogers leading the party bus into Cincinnati against Joe Flacco
and the Bengals, a game so exciting that it was
dubbed the Icy Hot Bowl leading.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Into it in AFC.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
North Slopper Knocker, which was an eye opener. So if
you did not watch the game, maybe you're watching the
baseball game and you missed this, you might have missed it.
Joe Flacco, Yes, I know, Joe Flacco had three hundred
and forty two yards passing not one, not two, but
(03:54):
three touchdowns and matriculated the ball down the field, setting
up Evan mcpher for a thirty six yard field goal
with seven seconds left as the beat e and gee
ay Ls Bengals snapped a four game losing streak. They
win thirty three to thirty one on the last second
(04:14):
field goal to win over the Steelers on Thursday night,
the forty year old Joe Flacco out duel forty one
year old Aaron Rodgers as they went back and forth.
The better story, though, is in the losing locker room,
there's a lot of angst, a lot of angst on
the Steelers defense and the fact that a couple of
(04:38):
guys just had ridiculous performances. Now we mentioned Joe Flacco
and what he was able to do as he was
slinging the ball all over the place, and another Cincinnati player,
Jamar Chase.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Was wi open. He was wide open.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
It's like being out over the Pacific and you just
throw something out of a plane.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
It's gonna hit water. It's gonna hit at some point.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
There, and it was like, are the Steelers even trying defensively, like,
what are they doing?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
It makes no sense.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Here's Mike Tomlin, the longtime Steeler coach, discussing how Jamar
Chase absolutely embarrassed his defense. Take a listen.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
You know, we played these guys a bunch. We double
teamed them some, we double teamed five. So it's a
mix of mixes required. They got depth and talent. Just
like the one play eighty made down the middle, we
were double them both and they were one on one
in that circumstance. And so you know, as many way
as you can analyze it, but the bottom line is
they made more plays than we did.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Okay, So that's the default answer, and it's a good
jumping off point. So let us discuss who gets to
wear the dunce cap for Mike Tomlin's Petsberg Steelers. They Insers.
So on this I've got rebranding, Ben Stiller and Glazed Donut,
and we will combine all of.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
These things together and we will build the.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Tea all over the radio, all over the radio. So
all right, I know, so first of all, let's start
with TJ. Watt.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
All right, let's start with TJ.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Watt. He is the brand ambassador of that Steeler defense,
and they gave him the one hundred and twenty three
million dollar deal. They pay him plausibly to make game
changing plays, to make impact plays for the Steelers defense.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
How did that go? Well, he was putting.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Around out there, and if you want to know how
he did, don't ask what had as many tackles? As
many tackles as you had. That's it.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
He had half a sack.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
There was like one half of a tackle, like a
half combined thing, but no individual tackles and half a sack,
which was really like a charity thing. Yikes. It's not
all bad though. It's not all bad for TJ. Watt
because I'll be Betty bright side Watt had he had
no no numbers of any of note. However, he got
(07:03):
a good cardio game in, he got to work out,
good workout. In fact, I saw more plays being made
by Steely mcbeam the mascot than from from what The
Bengals offense, led by Joe Flacco, had four hundred and
seventy yards of offense, four hundred and seventy yards of offense,
(07:25):
three hundred and forty two passing yards, one hundred and
forty two rushing yards. This is not twenty twelve. All right,
this is not the twenty twelve. Now, they didn't lose
a few yards on sacks. That's why the numbers don't
completely add up. But insane. This is Joe pretty much
off the couch Flaco, who was benched, demoted by the
(07:49):
factory of sadness, carving up, absolutely carving up the once
proud Pittsburgh defense like they were a Halloween pumpkin. You
talk about a rebrand this is a time for a
rebranding in Pittsburgh. What an embarrassment The Steel Curtain, my
fat ass, The Steel Curtain that's rebranded to the Steel turnstile.
(08:13):
And Mike got that is a cultural loss, is what
that is? The old Steelers defense. If you add those
old Steeler defensive teams matched up against forty year old
Joe Flacco, all right, the fossilized body of Joe Flacco,
they would have dragged that through the mud, all right,
through the mud. This group handed him, Joe Flacco, a mint,
(08:35):
julip and a lawn chair. Holy canolly, Like, how bad
was it? It was so bad? Mike Tomlin, now he
was diplomatic. We played a little sound by from Tom
Mike Tomlin is gonna have that secondary, including the likes
of Jalen Ramsey, Darius Slay, Joey Porter Jr. They're all
gonna have to give him ten burpies, run at least
(08:57):
twenty hill sprints and several laps around on the outfield
because and also some updowns. Do some updowns as punishment.
And then we had Joey Porter Jr. The defensive back
of the Steelers, who had the hutzba to deflect some
of the blame for the absolute gutless performance by the defense.
(09:17):
You know who he blamed? What did he blame? The
schedule because it was on Thursday night. Who did he blame?
You think he blamed the travel because you know it's
so far from Pittsburgh to Cincinnati.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
My god, No, he blamed the officials. He blamed the zebras.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Porter In third, that Pittsburgh's defense absolutely could have held
the Bengals offense with Joe Flacco in check, but but
it was the officials. They were too stingy. They would
not let them play. And that is a special kind
of wackerdoodle. That is a special kind of whackerdoodle.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
All right.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Now, Secondly to the winning side, which is not as
good as side all right to the winning side.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
So the question here is there a movie? Let's play
the movie game. Is there a movie to.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Describe the Joe Flacco Bengals offensive performance, the unexpected performance?
Speaker 3 (10:10):
You make the call? What movie is it?
Speaker 2 (10:12):
All Right? So I'm gonna go first. Now the movie
I'm picking to describe Joe Flacco's performance for the Cincinnati
football team. Here's what I have. I wrote down on
my scorecard A Ben Stiller Classic Night at the Museum,
who says, no, come on?
Speaker 6 (10:28):
Right?
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Is that not the perfect movie to describe Joe Flacco.
The security guard discovers that the museum exhibits come to
life after sunset jump ball. Joe Flacco an artifact in
the NFL. And yet that museum piece Joe Flacco painted
a masterpiece for the Cincinnati offense. Man, and he did
(10:49):
it like if I was the offensive coordinator, assume you
as well, you would do the same thing. So we
were advising the quarterback of the Cincinnati Bengals, right, and
you just to go over. You say, okay, what are
you gonna do? How about I would say, use the
kiss method, right, keep it simple, stupid, And that's what
(11:10):
Flaco did. He had tunnel vision. He targeted Jamar Chase
twenty three times. Twenty three times, essentially a third of
the offensive plays I don't have the numbers in front
of it, about a third of the offensive plays of
the Bengals ran. He threw the ball to Jamar Chase.
Jamar Chase rewarded him with a game for the ages,
(11:31):
sixteen catches, one hundred and sixty one yards, and a touchdown.
And Flacco also got help from Chase Brown the non
existent Cincinnati running game. He had one hundred and eight yards.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
The huge issue for Flaco for years has been the hiccup.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
He's had a lot of hiccups, a lot of hiccups
turned the ball over quite a bit in recent years.
Flacco in this game was mister clean. No picks, no fumbles,
no obvious mistakes. Cincinnati was fifty percent on third down.
It could have been worse for Pittsburgh's defense. They only
converted the Bengals forty in the red zone in this game.
(12:11):
This performance was just what the doctor ordered. And now
the Bengals, I believe they have the Jets upcoming, which
is like a bye week. The Jets are on a
real NFL team, and so you can add another win
and all of us, all of us the boomerang up.
And now after a four game losing streak, you've now
won those early wins. You're three and four and all
(12:32):
you have to be is around five hundred, and you're
a playoff contender in the American Football Conference. Now final, fuck,
let's go back. We'll hip and we'll jump and jump
over the other side. Let's go to the Steelers side
of things. So mister Rogers' neighborhood. A close game. Pittsburgh
did take the lead late, the Bengals got the ball
(12:54):
and ran the clock essentially out for the game winning
field goal. Here's Aaron Rodgers on the nail bidy loss.
How upset is Aaron Rodgers, let's find out.
Speaker 7 (13:02):
Well, I think you got to realize. Listen, we want
to win every game. There needs to be an expectation
of winning. But this is a short week division opponent.
Anything had happened, obviously, Joe played really well for them,
and Chase and t got going for him. For this
is the NFL. You know, we had a chance to
really open up some space, but we'reformed two, still first
(13:23):
in the division. Got a couple. You know, home games
coming up back to back, another Sunday night opportunity against
my former team. So I'm not going to ride the
roller coaster, and I know Mike isn't and hopefully you
guys follow suit.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
All right, So that was very robotic, That was very
level headed. That was right off sports cliche dot com. Okay,
so the question is we go into mister Rogers neighborhood.
What grade? What grade did you give Rogers in the
Icy Hot Bowl for Pittsburgh So you didn't see the game,
Rodgers finished with two hundred and forty three yards passing
(13:56):
and four touchdowns. Sounds pretty good, that sounds sexy. Four touchdowns,
that's a lot. When you peel back the ayahuasca infused
onion on the Mallor report card, Now this is a
pass failed grade. This is not ABC one two three.
This is a pass fail grade. And unfortunately Rogers gets
(14:17):
what not a passing grade. As Lee Corso would say,
not so fast, my friends. If you think it's a
passing grade, this was like a glazed doughnut. It looked good,
kind of smelled good, but you bite into it and boom,
it's kind of a hollow. The middle parts hollow. You're like,
I want the full Rogers had the numbers. There wasn't
(14:37):
enough substance here. And you do the side by side comparison.
Joe Flacco outplayed Aaron Rodgers, so Aaron gets a failing
grade Cincinnati. You gotta understand how bad the Bengals are.
I don't think we can put into words how much
they blow or how much they had been terrible. It's
hard to believe they could be this bad with all
the blood, sweat and tears they put into these NFL practices,
(15:00):
we're told, and the Bengals had the NFL's thirty first
ranked defense. They played without Trey Hendrickson, their top defensive player,
their star Hendrickson, and Rogers, Yeah, he almost almost pulled
a rabbit out of his hat anyway, and so it's
(15:22):
no hard feelings. The good thing is Rogers can now
go home to his fake wife and she can cuddle
him and they'll be good together, and they can he
can talk to his imaginary wife and they'll have a
good times. But most games are lost, not one. And
that's the bugaboo on why we give Rogers a failing
great Not only did he fail in terms of the
(15:42):
yards and the offensive power of the Bengals compared to Pittsburgh.
But it's the little thing stupid, or in this case,
a couple of big things. Rogers tossed a pair of interceptions.
Well they weren't all who's full? All right, Well let's
do some other mass So Cincinnati on those two possessions.
On those two possessions, the Bengals scored ten points off
(16:08):
those turnovers, ten points off Rogers interceptions. Pittsburgh lost by
two points. You can do the math, whether it's Malar
math or whatever. You can't unring the bell on those interceptions.
You cannot unring the bell on those interceptions. It is
the Ben Malor Show. If you'd like to comment on
any of that, you can join us right now.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
The lines are.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Open at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox eight
seven seven nine nine six six three six nine. Still
nothing in the tabloids on Aaron Rodgers. Remember the story
he got married in the off season and no photo,
no no tadling. Girlfriend of the wife going to TMZ
(16:50):
for twenty grand to send photos in nothing. Make chill wonder,
Make she'll wonder what's going on? The other part of
is maybe Rogers could have. Since he got married to
an imaginary person, he could also have like an imaginary divorce, right,
because if you get imaginary married, you can then get
imaginary divorced. I'm just right, Lorena, Mary. I'm just saying,
(17:12):
you know, get one of those fly by night divorces
and you're in You're in good shape.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
Yeah.

All right back to it, and we have some rhythmic chanting.
(19:53):
We'll get to that coming up in a minute. I
mentioned last star we didn't pay it off. A name
brand MLB player going to get fired, get the pink slip.
That would be Nick Castellanos of the Philadelphia Phillies. Expected
to be released, could be traded, but most likely will
be released by the Philadelphia Phillies this offseason. Now, if
you're a fan of very awkward moments and you're on
(20:16):
social media, you know that Nick Castellanos was part of
one of the great moments in baseball history during the
I think it was during the pandemic times. I believe
that's right five years or so, right around there. And
mister Brenneman, the longtime Fox broadcaster no longer he was
(20:39):
doing a broadcast Cincinnati Reds game and the mic is
always on, and he made some comments about some would
say cigarettes in Europe or the Bay Area, and they
were on a hot mic, and he then had to
give an on air apology on what would be Marty
(21:00):
Veneman's last game there as a as a broadcaster with
the Reds. But he gave an apology, and as he
was trying to give this heartfelt apology, Nick Castellanos hit
a home run against the Royals and it made for
a very awkward moment, a very awkward moment. So yeah,
there he's expected to be leaving the Philadelphia Phillies.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
There is that we have some rhythmic chanting.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
The late night drug tester right since says the wrong
Pittsburgh team won last night. Tough birthday for Eddie and
he's as long as the Chargers win, I think he'll
he'll be okay. Nature Boy says that I gave the
wrong movie the you and I said that Joe Flacco
performing the way he did was like Night at the
(21:43):
Museum when the creatures come alive, the exhibits come alive,
and I think that's the perfect movie. He's going Jurassic
Park on that spocks Weeds all happy. What else do
we have to see? Page? And I think that's that's
good enough. We'll take some calls here before we do that, though.
We do have a developing story. Speaking of Jurassic Park,
there was a critter that has been captured in the
(22:05):
hallowed hallways where legends like Bob Golick and Tony Bruno
worked years ago. Rich Herrera, Craig Sheman, real broadcasting icons
who worked at Fox Sports Radio. Let's go breaking news
on the Ben Malors Show. Breaking News. Let's go now
for more on this developing story in depth team coverage.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Is it true? Fox Sports?
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Is it true that a creature that is said to
have survived a nuclear blast has been captured in the
studios of Fox Sports Radio? From are on this, Let's
go down to our reporter on the scene, our eyewitness reporter,
Lorena Well.
Speaker 9 (22:49):
Yes, Ben, it does seem to be that we have
captured one of the world's most devious creatures that can
get into anything, get out of anything, and survive everything
ex except for a styrofoam coffee cup.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
You what med its match? It's met its match?
Speaker 9 (23:06):
Yes, so yes, we came up on it ice and
slow coop coop caught it.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Well, Coop saw it.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
I caught it. You caught it.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
I did not catch it. Okay, you caught it, Coop.
Why didn't you catch it? Coop? You didn't? You just
gonna let it run free? Yeah? Yeah, all right. Uh
So the cockroach, uh, they are the reason. They run
all over it. You know, there's they're scavengers, the cockroach.
There's scavengers is what they are. And there's a rumor
and we're trying to get other witnesses to report this, Lorena,
(23:34):
but there's a rumor that the cockroach was going across
the hall. There's a there's a metal like, there's a
We have these big bank vault doors at Fox Sports
Radio and there's one spot we call it the killing grounds.
There's something about that. The cockroaches crawl over there and
they die in this one spot.
Speaker 9 (23:53):
I think they do it on purpose. They go there
to die.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
When they go to that spot.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
It's like for the cockroach's triangle. They go there. Yeah. Now,
the Internet says the cockroaches like to be touched, So, Loreena,
if you'd like to touch the cockroach, stop stop like
really big legs. They like something. Apparently, this is according
to the internet. They like feeling something solid in contact
(24:20):
with their bodies on all sides.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
They may eggs, a lot of them. Mama.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Cockroaches protect their eggs by enveloping them in a thick
protective case.
Speaker 9 (24:33):
And you know what, that's why you're not supposed to
step on cockroaches, because if you step on a cockroach,
the eggs that are inside potentially will stick to the
bottom of your shoe.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
And then you carry them with you.
Speaker 9 (24:46):
That protective coating does not kill them, right, so you
carry them to your new house, you take them to
wherever you go. Also, Ben, never put your bag on
the ground here at the studios because of the cockroaches.
I'm gonna put signs up around here. People have their
jackets and I'm like, if you have anything on the floor,
it could be contaminated.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Yeah. Well, some amazing factorids about the cockroach as well.
My favorite, and I've known this for years, One of
my great stories I love is Mike the Headless Chicken.
But the cockroach is better than Mike the Headless Chicken.
You can literally if you want, and you can test
this out. Cool. Why do you get your butcher knife
and you can chop the head off the cockroach and
a week or two later it will respond, it'll wiggle
(25:26):
its legs. The head isn't that important for the cockroach. Seriously,
this is an amazing factoid here. It's just a fun facts.
They don't need their heads.
Speaker 9 (25:37):
Fun fact.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Yeah, cockroach. Imagine if you lived your life and didn't
worry about your head getting cut off or you get
concussions or anything like that, you just be fine. Yeah,
that amazing. And cockroach is very fast. They're like the
Usain Bolt of the critters. The cockroach is able to
move very fast. They done the math on this, about
one point seven miles per hour for a little cockroach.
(26:01):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Right.
Speaker 9 (26:03):
When I was walking up to this one, right because
they could just dart at any moment, he could be like,
oh heck, no pooch.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
So we're thinking we should name it. It could be
like the mascot.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Remember there's a listener in Australia that sent me there's
a team in I have the hat here. I have
a big hat collection at the remote studio, but I
have the hat. Their mascot is the cockroach. I have
the cap here somewhere. I think an Ozzie rules like
a rugby team. I think I look it up. But
they're the cockroaches. And here's another factoid about the cockroach.
(26:37):
According to a mal fun fact scientists in Japan, cockroaches
can be conditioned like dogs. You know Pavlov's dogs.
Speaker 9 (26:48):
Dog tell me that you could train a cock.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Yeah, you can train a cockrede So this could be like, awesome,
we could do malard meet and greets. We could take
the cockroach out, people could take photos with it. We
could charge them and that awesome.
Speaker 9 (26:59):
And it's been pretty cool looking cockroach that actually isn't
a bad idea.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Yeah, this could be This would be great. Yeah, well
you're gonna hold on to it. Wait, no, no, no, the
rain will keep it for us. She'll be the keeper
of the cockroach and sholl hold on it. And so
we could go on tam and get a little clothes
for it. Oh, a little cockroach closed.
Speaker 9 (27:17):
Have you seen those madagascon cockroaches?
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Oh the big got a big yeah, the hissing cockroaches.
Speaker 10 (27:25):
I've held one of those.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Yeah, now the famous By the way, you're listening, you're saying,
what's a sports radio show? Why are they talking about cockroaches?
Because we know Loraina caught one. So we're talking about
cocker cockroaches. The famous story the cockroach was exposed to
ten thousand rads of radiation the same amount as the
(27:49):
nuclear bomb dropped on Japan during World War two, and
about ten percent survive. So they didn't all survive, but
ten percent survive. That's a nuclear bomb. And the last
factor what I have. The cockroach can hold its breath
(28:09):
for four to seven minutes at a time. Yeah, there
you go. So if you want to take a photo
of the cockroach, learner, we can name the cockroach. Yeah.
Speaker 9 (28:20):
See, the problem is, ben is I'm gonna have to
relocate it so it's an astyrofoam cup where no one
can see. And now I have to put it into
a different container.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
You have to move it to something else.
Speaker 9 (28:32):
Okay, I'll do it on the next break.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
All right, Larry says Coop did not catch the cockroach
because there's nothing Coop appreciates more than a free roach.
Very funny, Larry, very funny. Fir Ducks is loving these
cockroach fun facts. Keep them coming. There you go.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Let's find out if Lorena needs her head to serve.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Oh that's not very nice. I mean my god. All right,
let's go. Let's go the phones. Let's go to the
phones here, why not? And eny meany miny mo? Where
shall we go? Now, let's say hello to Blind Scott,
who's in Boston. Hello, Blind Scott, welcome.
Speaker 5 (29:14):
Oh hey, what's up. I'm glad you took my call
because I'm an expert on cockroaches. Here's how you get
rid of them. You scale the wall with a bottle
of mint spray. They hate men you, and you plug
all the holes the cor coroaches. I can hear them,
not so much anymore, but you used to be able
to hear them run across my fourth So I've actually,
you know, in the North End, we have cockroaches, said
the oldest animal ever, and they only live like a year.
(29:35):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 9 (29:36):
Yeah, but you're better apply like crazy short life's running
by the dozens.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Yeah, well you're e think too, Scott Scott. As you know,
Scott that the.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Fox Sports radio studios originally were a Denny's. They were
a Denny's. And so these are like thirty forty years
later generations of cockroaches. This is like, this is like
going back for humans. It would be going back to
like the sixteen hundre. There's been that many cockroaches that
have come and.
Speaker 5 (30:02):
Oh yeah, hey I could say this now we're say fair.
Speaker 6 (30:05):
Nobody will hear this.
Speaker 5 (30:06):
I got in trouble in the morning show. I was
gonna wear like a bulletproof vests and have them shoot
me in the chests with it.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Why would you do that?
Speaker 5 (30:15):
Because I wanted to like viral. I wanted to go
viral like Robbie Rhodesteamer, he's like from Boston. So but
it just backfired way too much where it's just kind
of creeply where I was going to like break into
like a radio host's house in the middle of the night,
you know what I'm saying. And then I got yeah, yeah,
I got cold for calling them too many times, and
then I went psycho on them and called them all
(30:38):
types of crazy names, and then I had to spend
the whole week apologizing and then they have like, yeah, so,
I mean, I try to leave this show to do
another show, but then the same thing happened on the
other show that I left to do this show, you
know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (30:50):
So, like you believe you guys, very it's very out
of character for you to send psycho messages to people
you don't odd.
Speaker 5 (30:58):
Yeah, Fred to talk to me, he said, No matter
how anybody makes you feel, you can never act that way.
It's psycho behavior, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Yeah, No, I understand. I've tried to I've tried to
reason with you. You don't normally listen to on a reason.
That's the problem. So that's the issue. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (31:17):
So in life, I've come to learn, like I'm forty
two years old now, that even if I'm right, no
matter what I say, if I start just yelling at people. Dude,
a fan ran over my mobility cane today from he
runs over my cane, breaks it in half, like right
outside my apartment, and then he tries not to pay
me for it, which wasn't a big deal. But like,
(31:38):
you run over my mobility cane and I'm going to
take a photo of your license plate and he goes.
You know, everything worked out at the end, it wasn't
a big deal. I'm so sick of being this law
enforcing blind person. You know, it's tiring in my life.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Understand, you're fighting for truth. You're fighting for truth. Justice
in the blind way is what you're fighting for. And
I must leave you there. Thank you, Blind Scot. Let's
go to Egall, who's in New York. Hello, eat Dog,
welcome me dog on Long Island.
Speaker 6 (32:05):
Thank you very much for the standing. Your old baby
has everything going well.

That's great. We just got a new mascot here the
cock Roads so excited about.
Speaker 6 (32:14):
Listen to this, my dad. You know, there was a
cock roats in his apartment and he killed it and
he dislocated his shoulder, killing me. Packer Roads.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
Does insurance cover that, does it?
Speaker 6 (32:29):
I don't know about the Before I get to Melissa,
my dad, I just want to say, the Jets they
have bad quarterbacks. They're very terrible quarterbacks. Then they go
to another team and the other team Suran's in the
in the uh you know, and they played it like it's.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Almost like the It's almost like the Common Denominators the Jets.
Speaker 6 (32:53):
Yeah, nobly everybody beats the Jets.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
Maybe is it Fireman D's fault? Should we blame Fireman Ed?
Speaker 2 (33:00):
No?
Speaker 6 (33:01):
I won't find him, not at all. But I also
listen to this. I have a Mark Sanchez jersey. What
should I do with it?
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Donate it to charity or something?
Speaker 6 (33:13):
I guess that's been a problem. All right, Now, what
do you want me to talk about? Melissa or my dad?
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Oh man, both are great topics and really great for
overnight talk radio, sports talk radio. Let's go Melissa.

Possible Is it possible, eat, dog, that you're just making
these stories up every day and you don't remember what
you said the previous.

Speaker 10 (39:56):
Daniel Jones was asked on Wednesday what it means to
him that people are talking about him as a potential MVP,
and Jones said, not much after six weeks. Ben, do
you think he'll still be talked about as an MVB
candidate at the end of the season.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
No, the Colts will come back down to earth and
no one's the MVP right now. The names that are
being tossed out are Drake may Maholmes is being mentioned.
The Chiefs don't have a great record, Baker Mayfield by
default is the favorite, and it doesn't matter. I mean,
it's nice to talk about for a segment on a
radio show. It doesn't matter. I don't believe Daniel Jones
will keep this up next.
Speaker 10 (40:29):
An anonymous Eagles player told an NFL in insider that
this season is starting to feel like the twenty twenty
three meltdown all over again.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
Ben.
Speaker 10 (40:36):
Do you think things will go that badly for Philly?

Well, this is a pivot point this weekend. If they
beat the Vikings, they're fine. If not, panic at the
disco next.
Speaker 10 (40:45):
Matt Rule is the clear favorite to become the next
head coach at Penn States. Some analysts think this would
be a mistake, as he would be a lateral move.
Do you agree?
Speaker 2 (40:53):
Yeah, you know, it doesn't excite the fan base. If
he wins, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (40:57):
But he doesn't.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
You don't win the news conference with Matt Rule. He's
just kind of a blog. How'd we know? How'd we do?
I guess you passing? Come on, I passed with an A,
