Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's our number four, our four Happy Friday. It's a
big football hour here, an hour number four, the Ben
Malor Show. Don't forget Fifth Hour podcast to'll be coming
up later on. It might be available right now, depending
on when you're listening to this podcast. It's none of
my business when you listen. That's a private matter. But
the Fifth Hour podcast, which is up for public consumption
(00:22):
here on this Friday and then Saturday and Sunday new
episodes with me and Danny g So in our four
whispers that Mike Tomlin and the Steelers are shopping for
quarterbacks not named Russell Wilson and Justin Fields.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Why is that?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Also despite Deebo Samuel trade talks, the forty nine Ers
want a drama free off season. They say, your thoughts
on that, we'll discuss also some of the latest chatter
about where Deebo's going, and how do you decipher Drake
May's word of choice when he talked about Mike Rabel
bringing the word toughness to the Patriots. We'll talk about
(00:56):
that as well. All of it's coming your way right now.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
I have a wonderful weekend.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Don't forget Fifth Hour podcast here it is our number four.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Getting rid of everybody. What welco In the beginning of
another hour of the Benmahlor Show, we are in the
air everywhere as we carve stone, we do, but we
are your cup of inspiration coast to coast, port of
(01:30):
the border and beyond on the vast and enchantingly powerful
microphones of fsre amminating live from the Mecca, the mecca
of the Malard Militia.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
We're broadcasting live from the tyraq dot com studios.
Speaker 3 (01:45):

I are buying show b and uh yeah, the number
ten thousand. Alf the Alien opineer a big believer in
(02:12):
the number ten thousands, as is Kathy in Madison, Wisconsin,
big fan of the show.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
There.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
So our lead this hour is from football. We'll get
back to the hockey if you want. We did a
Mallard monologue, the rare and appropriate Hockey Mallar monologue, which,
as I predicted, was met with guffaws from the hockey dorks.
You shouldn't talk about hockey. You're not a hockey guy.
You're not qualified to talk about hockey. And then when
(02:38):
I don't talk about hockey, well you should really be
talking about hockey. Everyone's talking about hockey. Why didn't you
talk about hockey? Everyone else is talking about hockey. What's
wrong with you? You're missing out. You're the only guy not
talking about hockey. So can't win, which is fine, can't
please everybody, But our lead this hour is from something
that does please everyone, Pro football. We start out in
the land of the Insers. The quarterback shuffle, shuffle, shuffle,
(03:03):
shoffle It continues. Now a lot of moving pieces around
the game board. The battle lines have been drawn and
we will have the big.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Moves starting soon.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Normally right around March first stuff starts to really move.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
So we took a little bit of time to go,
but what another week.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Basically that's it, and then then stuff whatever that means,
starts happening. So if you haven't heard the latest on this,
and maybe not, we got you. It's our public service,
our good mits for the day. So we are hearing
that the Steelers are not not interested in just bringing
back Justin Fields or Russell Wilson picking between those two
(03:42):
guys to be the quarterback in twenty twenty five. They
obviously have a blank spot right in the middle of
their bingo card, right there at the quarterback position, and
they are going to look out into the wild blue
yonder and try to find someone, anyone to play quarter
So let us discuss the question the whispers that Mike
(04:04):
Tomlin and the Bettsburg Steelers are shopping for a quarterback
other than mister unlimited Russell Wilson and Justin Fields.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Now, why would this be? Why would this be?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
All Right, So I've got apple store, ruffles, and country club,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to play matchmaker.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Is what we're going to do. We'll play matchmaker.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
So to begin here, it's not that deep. Most of
the things we talk about are not that deep.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
It's just sports stupid.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
So Mike Tomlin didn't really like his quarterbacks during the season.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Why would he? They weren't very good.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
And then he went back and he did a cost
benefit analysis, looked at how they performed.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
And all that, and he's like, well, you know, I've
lived that life.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
I saw all the flaws, all the imperfections, A lot
of moles, a lot of warts, and you think about
what twenty twenty four was in Pittsburgh. It was a
dry run. They were auditioning Russell Wilson and Justin Fields,
and it's kind of like when you go out for
(05:22):
that role in the school play and you just kind
of got flop sweat and didn't work out. Or maybe
you're out in Hollywood you want to be an actor
and you do the.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Screen test and you you just didn't pass. You didn't pass.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Justin Fields was beaten out by old man Russell Wilson,
wobbly Russ, Wobbly Wilson.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
So then Russ played.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Okay for a couple of games, and then he completely
became discombobulated and was frazzled in the biggest games that
Pittsburgh played down the stretch. So now now, now Mike
Tomlin and the Steeler front office, it's like going into
the Apple store and say, listen, I need an upgrade.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
Here.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I've got an iPhone five, which is Russell Wilson, and
I've got Justin Fields, who's an iPhone thirteen with a
broken screen.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
And I'm Mike Tomlin.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
I would like to get a nice new iPhone sixteen
or at least a model that doesn't have a broken
screen and water damage. And ultimately what happens here is
you're ending up taking someone else who's also got damages
to them.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
But it's the way it works, right.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
One man's drunk is another man's treasure, and so the
junk is what Sam Darnold, who you know is going
to fall apart when you need him the most.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Just ask the Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Kirk Cousins, who looks like he's on death's doorstep for
his playing career a.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Ragers.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
And then there's other options like Matthew Stafford, who can
be yours. But of the available options of them are
obviously ideal. They wouldn't be available if they were good.
Why would any team let go of them? So that's
an issue. I would go with Aaron Rodgers. I endorsed
Aaron Rodgers the Rams. I would endorse him to the
Steelers for talk radio purposes. Cousins and Darnald or doppelgangers
(07:16):
of each other, and also doppelgangers of Wilson and Fields
the way they perform, which is not a compliment, not
a compliment, all right. Now, Furthermore, does San Francisco. We
go and we are told the forty nine ers would
like to have a quote drama free off season. This
(07:37):
as they are actively trying to unload Deebo Samuel. Who
can be yours if the prize is right now, the
reporting says the Niners are bitter. The brass with the
Niners are bitter that they got to the Super Bowl
a couple of years ago, lost to Kansas City, and
then everyone and their uncle came in there and said.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Pay me, pay me, show me the money.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Get players holding out here, there and everywhere, and they
were missing workouts. They got paid and then the Niners
got played. Now, despite Deebo Samuel trade talks, the forty
nine Ers won a drama free off season. What are
your thoughts on that, Well, I'm in the business of drama.
Off season. Drama is more positive than negative. On a
(08:19):
general blanket statement, it's more positive than negative. You keep
people engaged and talking about your business. Now, some drama
creates buzz, some drama creates attention. Now, as for Deebo Samuel,
we are told that several teams have expressed interest. Preliminary
(08:40):
talks are underway. So what is Deebo Samuel worth. I
know I have a crystal ball. I'm a distant relative
of Nostra Damas, and I have met Nostradinas.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
He lives in Seattle.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
So Deebo Samuel is worth some ashtray change and a
half eaten bag.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Of ruffle potato chips. That's it.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
And here's why he's got almost all the leverage. Samuel
has the forty nine ers buy the foot balls. He's
got him in a pickle jar because Deebo is going
to demand a new contract wherever he ends up. Everyone
knows that. And the forty nine ers they can't keep him.
(09:23):
They're gonna have to cut him if they don't trade him. Now,
keep an eye on the usual suspects, the Chargers, the Steelers,
the Bills, the Patriots, who would be interested.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Samuel is twenty.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Nine, and he it's about the time you're doing a
little bit of a tightrope walk there.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
At age twenty nine, you should be good still.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
But he wasn't very good in the last couple of years,
and he took a back seat to some other people
with the Niners.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
And you start showing signs of slowing down.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Most people do. There's that rare exception to the rule.
All right, last thing now, speaking of New England, speaking
of to while they shop for wide receiver help mention
them as a possibility for Deebo Samuel. Quarterback Drake May
said something recently waxing poetic on some cheese ball podcast
(10:14):
about Mike Rabel. He said, quote, Rabel's been great. I'm
looking forward to getting to know him. I think he'll
bring some toughness and coach at hard. Drake May said,
even great players that we have and veteran guys want
to be coached hart most quote, all right, so how
do you decipher how do you decipher Drake May's words
(10:39):
when he talked about Mike Rabel bringing the T word
toughness to the Patriots.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
So this is obvious.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
He's indirectly saying that the previous administration, the Gerrod Mao administration,
was running a country club that the Patriots was a
It was a country club. And we heard those stories
that were leaked by the Patriots that Mayo was after
a loss to the Cardinals, was in the back of
the plane playing cards with the boys, having a good time.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Didn't really care that much to watch tape or all that.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Now, a lot of that was character assassination. But Drake
may I love the fact that he says that he's
been a great coach Mike Rabel and then in the
very next statement said, I'm looking forward to getting to
know him. So how has he exactly been great if
you don't even know him?
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Like, what exactly great is there? Right?
Speaker 2 (11:31):
I don't understand you juxtapose you saying well, he's been great,
but you haven't done anything, like how can you be great?
Speaker 3 (11:39):
What has he been great? He won the news conference? Man,
So if the Patriots based on the.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Commentary of Drake may with girod Mayo, if the Patriots
were a dessert, they'd be Boston cream pie or just
cream puffs. And Rabel, who does come across as this griff,
no nonsense kind of guy. Of course, did you really
expack Drake made us? Oh, this guy's been a douche.
Let me tell you, I'm not looking forward to playing
for Mike Vrabel. I don't know that he'd coach his
(12:06):
way out of a wet paper bag.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
All right, this.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Guy, if he was a knife, he'd be a plastic
butter knife. The commentary was pretty benign, right, pretty be
nice and Rabel's not one of these guys. He's gonna
charm the pants off you. That's not usually how that works.

Let's go to the phones.

Let's say hello to Let's go to Angry Bill. Who
is up next? Angry Bill is in Florida and is
always angry about something.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Hello, Angry Bill.
Speaker 7 (15:18):
Well, how's everybody this morning. I don't want to break
your pattern, Ben, I want to talk about baseball. As
you know, I'm old school, but I'm for this automatic
umpire as long as they're the right people check it out,
and I say this thing is you can't use the
word one hundred percent, but if you say it's it's
a ninety five percent, I'm all for it. You got
(15:41):
pictures today throwing these I call them fortballs, but not
to call them splitters or whatever. And the sweeping curve
from sale. Very very tough for these umpires to get
it right, very tough. People want to criticize these umpires,
but they're excellently what they do.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
But they're so good you want to want you want
to replace them. They're so good you want to replace.
Speaker 7 (16:07):
Yeah, yeah, they can't. They can't get those pictures right
every time because of the speed, the breaking of them,
the angles of them. It's just too tough of pictures
that are being developed today. They are not being being developed.
They're there today that weren't there years ago. And it's very,
very tough to make the proper calls if you want
to get the calls as perfect as you can. And
(16:29):
you tell me this automatic umpire it's going to be.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Well, ultimately a human will be Ultimately a human is
going to be involved in setting the strike zone. So
you're not going to get rid of the human element.
And we'll we'll see Baseball. It scares me a little bit.
I'll get my tinfoil hat on bill that Baseball is
talking about getting rid of the k zone thing that
the strike zone on TV broadcast, and.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
I think they're trying to do that.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
My theory is because you're not going to like when
they go to the replay because it's not going to
match up with the graphic on the TV, because they
might futz around with the strike zone, and otherwise why
would you get rid of it? It makes no sense
to get rid of it. People enjoyed it's part of
the broadcast watching. And there's still gonna be controversy because
(17:16):
people are gonna.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Say, well, I don't agree with the you know, the
AI strike zone thing. And it's never going to be
completely perfect ever.
Speaker 7 (17:27):
Well not not completely perfect, but it's gonna get better.
These umpires are a tough, tough job to do.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Don't you're you're you're old school guy.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
What about I did a rant the other day, like
when I kind of fell in love with baseball, the
players would scout the umpires because umpires had different strike
zones and so that was part of the degree of
difficulty in baseball. It wasn't uniformality where everything's the same
and all that, and it's cookie cutter. It's like some
guys had a big strike zone, some guys had a
(17:58):
high strike zone, a low strike zone.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Some guy said very small strike zone. It depends on
the empire.
Speaker 7 (18:04):
That's that's that's totally wrong. We'll get that clown from
the marbles.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Why is that wrong? Baseball?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Baseball flourished and most people watch baseball in those days
than now.
Speaker 7 (18:13):
No, this is this thing of it's the umpire strike zone,
and that's what you got to go by that's why
the Florida Marlins thing in the World Series was a
joke with that umpire.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Well it was, it was.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
It was the NLCS. It was Eric Greg Marlins and
Braves in the National Championship Series.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
One of the great moments in baseball.
Speaker 7 (18:31):
History, great moments. How ridiculous was that Ben?
Speaker 2 (18:35):
It was like it was art imitating life or life
imitating our is you know, it was amazing.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
It was an amazing day.
Speaker 7 (18:42):
You wanted somebody to come out and give him donuts
every evening. What are you kidding me? That guy was
a joke. That guy should have been throne, not out
of baseball. He should have been thrown out of the world.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Okay, wow, okay, well he is now, but he has
been thrown out of the world now, so rest easy.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Okay, thank you?
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Yes, all right, Yes, you had a bad job. You
did a bad job up hiring. Let's send you out
of the planet. We'll kick you out to outer space,
somewhere on a comet, and we'll just see where you
end up.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Sure, why not.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Let's go back to the phones, and who do we
have here? Any meenie miney moll. Let's say hello to
legally blind Christopher. Hello, legally blind Christopher, Welcome.
Speaker 8 (19:23):
Well, mister Maller. I'm surprised that angry Bill didn't have
something to complain about blind people again. But hey, that's
all right, mister Maller.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Well, he wants he wants to line you all up
and kick your butt.
Speaker 8 (19:34):
He wants to Well, that's fine, I'm ready for him.
I'll even love to take the wing.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Well, it's good. Legally you should.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Legally you're allowed to fight back if you get punched first.
Speaker 8 (19:46):
Well, what I'm hoping is that somebody will bring one
of their guide dogs and we'll just attack the heck
out of them. But that's that's another story for another.
Speaker 7 (19:53):
Day at the work.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
You should shoot you know. What you should do is
you should show up.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
You should show up and say, here's my guide dog
and have like a pit bull and that's my guide dog.
Speaker 7 (20:02):
Shepherd.
Speaker 8 (20:02):
I have a German Shepherd. They're much more attack they
really are. Okay, So my question, mister Maller, is that
the ratings for these four letter network that showed that
hockey game last night aren't going to be any better
than a minor league baseball game. So who really cares?
Nobody cares I do, because that's the only sport that's
(20:25):
worth watching in the state of North Carolina. Like you
had mentioned earlier in the in the your great intess
throughout the night here is that the Harford Railers came
to North Carolina. That's the only winning team I've ever
had down here. Of course, that's the only winning team
I've had since nineteen eighty four when the Tigers decided
(20:45):
to win something. But mister Maller, the point is this.
The only hockey that's going to matter is when the
women play next month. Because the men gave an effort.
I gave him credit. Who cares if it was us
or can of who cares if it was Finland Sweden.
Nobody in the United States cares. They're not going to
(21:06):
care about the Olympics. They're not going to care about
women's hockey. They're not going to care about the NHL players.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
It's gonna be nobody cares about anything. I got you,
all right, nobody cares.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
We've established that no one cares.
Speaker 7 (21:20):
I care.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Because you're saying that you're nobody.
Speaker 8 (21:25):
Then I am. That's okay. I don't mind that.
Speaker 9 (21:28):
I'm a blank, all right, But your take, I give
you credit for because everyone complains about mister Baller not
covering the latest sports stories.
Speaker 7 (21:39):
You put your head.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Oh no, no, that's not true. They only complain when
it's hockey. They know the hockey. The hockey Gestapo get
very upset with me and they want to cash.
Speaker 8 (21:49):
Well, mister Garcia would be happy that you brought it
up during the fifth hour.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Uh yeah, maybe he would be happy.
Speaker 8 (21:56):
Yeah, I'm proud of that you did it, mister.
Speaker 6 (21:59):
We know.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
If I made one person proud, that's all I need.
One person. All right, have a wonderful weekend. Our friend
legally blind Kristen. And let's say hello to Andrea. She
is in Berkeley. She's got the star chart out. We
do have the Coop Scoop.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
On entertainment coming up in a couple of minutes. Hello Andrea, welcome.
Speaker 10 (22:24):
Hello, how are you?
Speaker 3 (22:26):
If I was any better, i'd be an A.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
But no I wouldn't because they're stuck in Sacramento for
the next couple of years.
Speaker 10 (22:35):
Yeah, they're not the Oakland a's anymore. They're just the apparently.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Oh that is so stupid. It is the Sacramento A's.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
If you will not use Sacramento, you're announcing to the world,
you're embarrassed by being in Sacramento. So why are you there?
If you're embarrassed to be in Sacramento, you're the Sacramento as.
I think some of the news outlets are using Sacramento
in the name, even though the A's have requested just
be called the A's. I remember when Katrina, Hurricane Katrina
hit New Orleans and the Hornets they played in Oklahoma
(23:06):
City at that time, they were called the Hornets, and
they had an alternative uniform that put Oklahoma City on
the uniform.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
They embraced it. Even though they knew they were going
back to New Orleans. They embraced it. So embrace it.
What are you it's so stupid.
Speaker 10 (23:21):
Yeah, well, at least it's the start of baseball season now,
and I look forward to that. And I saw some
of the Dodger game and it was just in Verlander's
birthday Ben February twentieth, nineteen eighty three. He turned forty two,
so a bit of a midlife crisis, but more concerned.
I know he wants to reach three hundred wins and
(23:43):
so on and so forth. But you know, Giants fans
really have to manage their expectations with him. Remember I
always say Mars is an important plan for an athlete
who's energy, assertion and aggression. And he has saturned trans Mars,
so have that this season and Saturn rules of skeletal
(24:04):
system ben so he's been injured on and off. Last
year he was injured, so Saturn bones, knees, teeth, joins back,
So that's going to be kind of sensitive areas and
then neptune to Mars. Remember the three d's disappointment, disillusionment,
and feeling defeated. So the good news is he can
be a mentor. You know, they're talking a lot about
(24:26):
that and the role he can play in the clubhouse
and talking to the younger players and so on and
so forth. But you know, he's not going to be
the Justin Verlander that you know he used to be.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Well, no, I would think not.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
I mean, he's forty two, so right, the fact that
he's still getting a major league baseball salary is pretty yeah,
pretty wild, And yeah, that.
Speaker 10 (24:48):
Should be interesting. And he's a pisce. He's with a
Gemini moon and Kate Upton is a Gemini, so they're
quite compatible. It should be interesting to see her around
you know, San Francisco and the stadium, so you know
he'll definitely bring some you know, new energy to the team.
But you know, in terms of him really having an
(25:09):
exceptional year, and I mean it's the funniest major League.

All right, so, uh Ben, we're gonna start off in
the theaters. And this weekend is a new Stephen King
movie that I've been looking for you since I saw
the trailers a few weeks ago. It is called The Monkey,
and it is based on a Stephen King short story,
and it's a basically twin brothers find a mysterious wind
(27:00):
up monkey, a series about rageous deaths tear their families apart,
and then twenty five years later, the Monkey begins a
new killing spree.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Oh terrible.
Speaker 11 (27:10):
Yes, he doesn't start. He's got like third billing. But
the one name that I recognize in this this lineup
is Elijah Wood. But the the main stars are Theo
James and Tatiana mass Laney.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Yes, she actually put a question mark your mom did.
Speaker 11 (27:29):
Moving over to television, we have a new movie out
on Netflix right now. It is called Zero Day. It's
getting middling reviews and it's it's got a big cast though.
Robert de Niro stars in the movie, and well, I
guess it's a limited series technically, so there's a it's
a six part thriller and it traces the aftermath of
(27:50):
a devastating cyber attack on America that plunges the country
into crisis. De Niro plays a former US president who
is enlisted to head up a commit investigating the attack.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Let me gues, during the cyber attack, everyone ran out
to buy toilet paper and water.
Speaker 11 (28:07):
That would make sense, Yeah, we have seen that. But
the cast also includes Lizzie Kaplan, Angela Bassett, Jesse Plemmons,
Connie Britton, Matthew Modine, Joan Allen, Bill Camp, Gabby Hoffman,
lots of people, all right. And this comes from the
creators of Narcos and Nurse Jackie and Homeland. So you
(28:29):
check that out to a limited series available right now
on Netflix. Also available right now is the third season
of Reacher on Prime Video. I'm a big fan of
