Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our dumber three, our number three, as we keep
you in the Loop de Loop.

Speaker 1 (00:09):
On the original Recipe podcast here an hour three.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Russell Wilson is confident that he could play for the
Steelers this weekend, should Mike Tomlin give him a chance. Also,
Steelers wide out George Pickens says he did not know
that the NFL had an EyeBlack policy for uniforms.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
Is that possible?

Speaker 2 (00:29):
And your thoughts on the Jets demoting Nathaniel Hackett from
play caller. We'll talk about that and whether or not
Todd Downing is an upgrade. It's all coming your way
right now. It's our number three. It's all about being unlimited. Well,
god in not be ginty. Of another hour of the

(00:51):
Ben Malors Show. We are in the air everywhere sound
Wave Soulmates, as we are late night guys and gals
coast boarding.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
The border and beyond.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
We're open up all night on the vast and resoundingly
powerful microphones of FSR am monating live from the Stump
as in the Stump Speech, as we are broadcasting live
from the Tyraq dot com studios.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
Tyrack dot com will help you get there.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
And on the match selection, fast free shipping, free road
hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended installers. I think
I saw mister Mojo ol'risen, our friend from the bay.
I think I saw him on that social media tyrack
dot I think he's saying about ten thousand tweets or
ex comments or whatever tyrack dot com the way tire

(01:46):
buying showbe or maybe that.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
Was Miami Danny. Probably not.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
I think he's been banned from all social media for
sending out extremist messages. I heard that's what Robbie, the
Mariner fan told me. But our lead this hour are
leave this hour from the steel City. A quarterback drama,
O rama bubbling up in the burg. So if you've
been following, you likely know this. If not, that's a

(02:13):
breach of etiquette.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
You might not know.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
So we're hearing now that the pet Berg Steelers quarterback
Russell Wilson is said to be optimistic but also realistic
about possibly playing on Sunday for the first time in
twenty twenty four. Now Mike Tomlin was pretty vague about
this and indicated that Justin Fields will continue as the starter.

(02:39):
Wilson said he quote feels confident and he's ready to
play at a high level.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Mister unlimiteded it.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Mister Unlimited has been sidelined through the first five weeks
with a bum calf. Now Justin Fields has played, and
Pittsburgh does have a winning record.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
I do have a winning record.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
Is Mike Tomlin about to pull the fast one?

Speaker 1 (03:05):
So you know where this is heading?

Speaker 2 (03:07):
The last minute early Sunday report quarterback change in Pittsburgh.
Russ is ready and he's going to start the game.
Now that hasn't been announced. We don't know if he's
going to play at all. Maybe they're just bull craping us,
but let's discuss what happens in Pittsburgh.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
So the question for the the ears of you and
only you, here's the question.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
Russell Wilson is confident that he can play for the
Steelers this weekend in Viva Las Vegas. Should Mike Tomlin
pass the baton to Russell Wilson? So I've got posted note,
battalion and ladder, and we'll combine all of these things

(03:54):
together and we are going to put you on a pedestal,
just like Loraina on a pedestal. All right, So, first
of all, to answer the question, should Tomlin pass the baton? Yeah,
I'm not in my head. Yes you can't see me,
but I'm not in my head. Yes, Justin Fields has
not been horrible. However, he's not the cream of the crop.

(04:15):
And despite Internet love, glowing reviews from micro blogging websites
talking about how he's so good and he's benefited from
the coaching, and he's a great leader, and he's got
amazing teammates. And here's the problem. I will be the
voice of reason on this and I have no skin

(04:36):
in the game. So I'm the perfect guy. I'm unlike
Eddie who's biased, or Sean the hood guy, the Yinsers
that are fans of the show that call up every
once in a while, the bread.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
Man in Pittsburgh.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
Justin Fields has not elevated the play of his teammates.
He's not and the Steelers offense has been stuck in
mud yet again.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
Now what is my evidence? My evidence, I'm gonna make
my elevator pitch.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
So Pittsburgh twenty sixth in the NFL in scoring offense,
there's only thirty two teams, and then you say, well,
they're twenty seventh in the passing offense. So twenty seventh
in passing, twenty sixth in scoring. I don't think that's good,
but I don't know. I just do the overnight show.
Maybe that's great. Maybe you're very happy by that that number.

(05:24):
Mike Tomlin, at this point, when you talk about the
Steelers passing offense, he can write on a yellow post
it note and just put out of order.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
Out of order.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
Needless to say, this is not a situation where Justin
Fields has said, let's lock the door. All right, for
Justin Fields, we'll throw away the key. Now that's said,
that does not mean I'm endorsing that Russell Wilson's could
I'm a talk show host and I'm looking for a story,
and as a talk show host, it's a more enjoyable story.

(05:55):
Russ plays, how does he do? Do they go back
to Justin Field? More likely than not it would be
a lateral move, but I'm all in. I would like
to see it. I would like to see whether he's
flummoxed or not. Now, secondly, we turn the page, but
we stay in the land of the Ginsers because Steelers

(06:15):
wide receiver George Pickens dismissed questions about the obscene message.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
The breach of decorum on his EyeBlack.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
If you're watching the game, there was a big rain delay,
of storm delay, lightning delay there Pittsburgh and Dallas. Pickens
wore EyeBlack that read open fing always, but it didn't
say effing yeah, it's oh my god, wash your mouth
out with soap and water. So Piggins was asked about that.
He said, it's just EyeBlack, he said. Asked whether there

(06:49):
was any kind of purpose behind the message, he played dumb,
He said no, no, no, no. He was asked whether
or not he expects any kind of blowback from the NFL.
He said no, the NFL investigating. I don't know what
there's to investigate. There's possibly a fine, some kind of
internal consequences.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
Now, Pickens said.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
That he was unaware, unaware of the league's uniform policy
prohibiting unapproved personal messages. Now that right there is the
money quote. So let us discuss the Steelers. George Pickens
says he did not know the NFL had an EyeBlack

(07:31):
policy for uniforms. Is this possible? So it's only possible
if Pickens is the drum major for the Marching Morons band.
Other than that, no, Now it is more likely than
not that he was using the subtle art of playing dumb,
that Pickens is just being a schmendrick because last I checked,

(07:54):
it has been an open secret that the NFL employees
a wardrobe battalion. Now what is a wardrobe battalion? Last
I heard, there were sixty four former players that have
been hired as uniform inspectors rats.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
Their job is to rat out.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
Players that don't have their uniform properly presented on the field,
putting the no fund in the no fun league.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
And their job is to walk around with a clipboard.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
Maybe they've moved on to their cell phones now, but
they're supposed to identify the players and the coaches who
do not follow the rigid dress code.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
Now, you might have been in the military.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
I hear from a lot of you guys that went
to boot camp and you did your time in the service,
and I respect that, But at this point, the NFL
has stricter wardrobe rules.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
Than some of the military. It's wild, right, wild.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
These former players, they look for untouched, untucked shirts, messages
written on the uniform, unsanctioned logos from non NFL sponsors.
They're always worried about socks, any accessories that don't match
the team colors, all that crap. That's what the wardrobe
battalion of the NFL does. But according to George Pickens,

(09:13):
who's been in the NFL long enough, and I know
his teammates have been fine and whatnot, but I don't know.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
I don't know what's going I have no idea.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
It's like when you get pulled over and the cops says,
do you know how fast you were going?

Speaker 1 (09:29):
I don't know. I have no idea, you know what
the speed limited?

Speaker 3 (09:32):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
All right, final, fuck We head now to the New
York tri state area where it has happened kind of
Robert Salo was let go a couple of days ago,
and now your thoughts. The Jets have have demoted, have
demoted Nathaniel Hackett.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
He is no longer the play caller heading into this
weekend for the Jets. So to that, I say, and
I'm not even a Jets fan.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
Hell Elujahllria, That's what I said. Hackett is living up
to the scouting report. The guy's a hack. You can't
spell Hackett without hack. And the fact that he kept
his job he got the Bronco job got This job
is a.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
Testimonial to the N word. No, no, not that one.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
Nepotism, right, he failed his way up the corporate pig
skin ladder.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
And it's again not what you know, it's who you know.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
This is an epic Aaron Rodgers boot licker. When they
write books about sports boot lickers, there'll be a photo.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
Of Nathaniel Hackett.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
That's the only plausible explanation for his career in the NFL,
because if he was judged on the merits of his work,
he would be driving Uber eats with our guy Femi
in Minnesota and saying.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
How do you how do you make those those number
of deliveries? I don't understand, Femi. Yeah. Now, somebody named
Todd Downing took over.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
If I remember Todd Downing, I think he had a
little incident that cost him his job with Tennessee.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
I'll have to double.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
Check before I say exactly what that was, but it
may or may not have involved some kind of handcuff situation.
But is Todd Downing an upgrade for calling plays for
the Jets? So my philosophy, and again I'm not a
Jets fan. I just looking for a good story.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
As a talk show host is is a b H.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
Anybody butt Hackett? Anybody butt Hackett? And if at first
you don't succeed, try try again.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
Now.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
Downing was the OC for the Tennessee football team back
in twenty twenty two.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
He was fired.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
The Titans finished thirtieth overall in offense and twenty eighth
in points score. So I don't think that's good. But
again I don't. I don't want to be mean. Maybe
that's good in Tennessee. They liked that number. Thirtieth overall,
thirty two teams in the twenty eight points and it's
points scored and all that, and so yeah, who am
I to criticize?

Speaker 1 (12:07):
It is the Ben Mallor Show.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
If you'd like to comment on any of that, you
are more than welcome to jump online. There's a line open.

the Mallard riddle of the day.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
The Lions running back David Montgomery recently revealed that Blank
plunged him into a quote dark place. That is the
Mallard riddle of the day. What is the answer to
the riddle? Let's find out. We'll go to the Great Unwashed.
The Hoy Poloy late Night drug tester says, a case
of root beer, root beer beer, cheese pizza from Ferg

(14:28):
Dog Space Mountain guests by Asher, power outage from Donkey Sausage.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
He's going power outage, Yeah, the sausage.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
Caleb Williams at quarterback from Nick that's his answer. Milkman
Mike and Colorado says he blames the Book of the Dead,
but that is the answer.

Speaker 5 (14:48):
One of my favorite books.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
You enjoy that. Yes.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
Stuck in Sacramento says his lack of Diddy brand special
baby oil took him to a dark place.

Speaker 5 (15:00):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
If that's true.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
Did he should have just come up with his own
line of baby oil? It was such a productive user
of baby oil. King Roy says Mark Murphy's Sledding Hill,
that's from the King two thousands. Professional Wrestling sent him
to a deep dark place early two thousands.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
Yeah, that's back when they just they were in the raw,
literally in the raw.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
Doc Mike in Chiitown from Eke in Roseville, Minnesota.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
The double dumper from Masshole.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
Mickey, it's a great invention. Who else do we have
page down? Kent in or Chris in Kent, Washington says
sniffing fingernail polish remover plunged him into a deep dark place,
eating opponents kneecaps from Andy in lion O Lakes, Minnesota,
getting a wedgie from Rob in Minnesota? Who else do

(15:53):
we have? Page down? Can't read that on the air.
All right, do you have an answer, Eddie? Do you
have an answer?

Speaker 5 (16:04):
I do, Ben. The answer is Diddy.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
So you think David Montgomery revealed that Diddy plunged him
into a deep dark place.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
That is unfortunately interact Eddie, No, that's wrong. I gave
you a complimentary right Dan last hour?

Speaker 2 (16:19):
Yeah, Yeah, Well, it turns out David Montgomery revealed that.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
Fantasy football dark place.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
Apparently he is not conditioned to handle the a holes
on social media that.

Speaker 5 (16:35):
Were a critic and get off social media.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
That's an easy solution, Eddie. Just like we talked about
in baseball with the shift. You don't need to ban
the shift. Just bunt on the shift enough and then
they'll stop doing it. Let's go down to the international
line and we'll say hello to Salsa and we'll find
out where is not? Where's Waldough? Where is Salsa? A

(16:59):
international little man of mystery? Hello Salsa?

Speaker 6 (17:02):
Good? What is it morning? Yes, good morning. I am
currently standing in the middle of the airport in Munich, Germany.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
Oh, very nice. What time is it in.

Speaker 6 (17:13):
Munich, Germany?

Speaker 7 (17:16):
All right?

Speaker 3 (17:16):
For you here, it's.

Speaker 2 (17:18):
Ten oh twenty far Oh that's not too bad. And
are you traveling for work or for pleasure?

Speaker 6 (17:26):
For pleasure, I'm kind of deciding where I'm going to go.
I think I'm gonna go to Zurich and then go
to London tomorrow, possibly catch the game Barcelona next week
and figure it out after that.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
See, just you just go to the airport and say, ah,
maybe I'll go here, maybe I'll.

Speaker 6 (17:43):
Go there, and yeah, pretty much, you just you just
look at the board and see what's flight you can
get on, and then you.

Speaker 7 (17:49):
Just go.

Speaker 1 (17:51):
Yeah. And how often are you denied getting on the flight?
Do you usually get on the flight. You have to
wait all day to.

Speaker 5 (17:56):
Get on a flight.

Speaker 6 (17:57):
Uh, that has happened a couple of times, not too
much lately. That's got to make sure you know someone
who can give you a flight information so that you
don't have to wait.

Speaker 1 (18:06):
Gotcha, Well, you live in the dream, sauce, So you
live in the dream. Man.

Speaker 6 (18:10):
You do what I wanted to call to give you
some travel tips you never had before on baggage.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
Okay, yeah, we keep going.

Speaker 5 (18:26):
I'm right.

Speaker 6 (18:28):
So one thing when you say this is the most
important one. So when you get your bags and you're
going to your seat, you want to put your bag
in the overhead bend that is directly across or you're
not over your head because when you put it directly overhead,
you have to contort your body. That is for older people.

(18:48):
Just go right up and then you can get in
and out.

Speaker 5 (18:50):
Real quick like.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
That's also since you work in the airline industry, can
you explain to people that just because you have a
seat does not mean you're entitled to the baggage claim
right above you. You can put yours anywhere on the plane.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
Is that correct?

Speaker 6 (19:02):
This is correct unless unless you are in a first
class business class something like that, whereas designated for those
people in those seats. Otherwise, you can put your bag
in your open space.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
All right, there you go.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
Now another one would be put it if you can
find room closer to the front of the plane, if
you're sitting in the back. That way when you leave
your you know your bags waiting for you.

Speaker 6 (19:26):
Just a smart move too. I sucking that. I do
that all the time, especially if you're on a flight,
for example, Southwest, when there's no assigned seating, just put
your bag the closest place that you can find it
and go just grab your seat.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
Yeah, well they're ending that right next year, they're going
to have a signed seating in the Southwest too.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
That's going on.

Speaker 6 (19:46):
And then when you travel, uh do you.

Speaker 3 (19:51):
Are you do you have get.

Speaker 6 (19:53):
A pre check or do you travel first class, business
class anything like that or.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
As you know, being a popular overnight talk show host,
I buy the cheapest tickets I can possibly buy. So yeah,
there's no, you're not talking to Colin Cowherd Salsa.

Speaker 1 (20:09):
You're not. I'm a man of the people. I'm a
man of the people.

Speaker 5 (20:13):
Spirit Airlines.

Speaker 2 (20:15):
I know Rob Parker, Rob Parker fly Spirit. I do
not fly I'm not. I did not go that low.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
I do not.

Speaker 6 (20:21):
I flew on Delta over here, and I almost got
Delta one. But that is amazing if you ever get it.
But I got the Business Select, so that's got business
class service. But Delta one with the late flat cheeks,
all the wine and foods, you gain your heart desires.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
I normally because I'm tall. Yeah, I've met you a
couple of times. But no one's changed their appearance more
in the history of the show.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
Than salsabout it.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
I got but but but also I've I usually i'll
get like a little extra leg room doesn't cost that
much more, but then just more comfortable because I don't
want to get swished and all that.

Speaker 6 (20:56):
Got ben else. I want to say thank you for
your kind words you said about me on the podcast.
It was very nice. Been enjoyed that. I was very
kind of you. I look forward to meeting you all again.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
All right, we'll do it again soon. All right, Thank you,
my man. Enjoy Europe, enjoy. Let us know how goes.

Speaker 5 (21:13):
All right.

Speaker 2 (21:13):

He's flown all over the place to come.

Speaker 1 (21:18):

Speaker 2 (21:20):
Great guy. Great, yay, good fan of the show. Let's
say hello to Dominican Mike. Another great fan of the show.
Another guy that.

Speaker 1 (21:27):
I met at a meet and greet. We met Dominican
Mike in Charleston.

Speaker 2 (21:30):
He flew up from Florida. We had a great day,
and then he flew right back because he had to work.
But he's in Arizona now I believe. Hello Dominican Mike.

Speaker 3 (21:38):

So but so it goes with the territory living in Florida,
you know.

Speaker 1 (21:59):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
Joey the Bellman lives in Sarasota. He was sending me
some photos of a bunch of trees that got knocked.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
Over and some other damage around there.

Speaker 7 (22:07):
So yeah, yeah, yeah, but uh, well stick into the
flight situation by and the south I did. I happened
to fly a lot myself too. If you go international
like he did. Uh, you can help it if you
can help them.

Speaker 3 (22:21):
Of course, first class or fitness.

Class for a loan strip international, if you can help him. Fifth,
I leave business class because it's just so much comfortable.
They fea stuck, you know, a five six seven eight.
I'll fight, you know, the coach.

Speaker 2 (22:34):
So if you can yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, man, yeah,
