Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number four. Is that poultergeist? Well,
this is Thursday, the start of the NFL season, as
Baltimore will take on Kansas City tonight at Arrowhead. And
in honor of that, we parse the words of Lamar Jackson.
Is he being haunted? He said? Not reaching the Super
(00:23):
Bowl is the only thing that bothers him. What's missing
for the Ravens to get to a super Bowl? Also,
the Cowboys have listed Zeke Elliott as running back one
on the depth chart. Is the glass half full or
half empty for Zeke in Dallas? And how much trouble
if any? Is Deon Sanders in facing this fight video
(00:47):
which is out on the Internet of a couple of
college football staffers at Colorado getting into a fight and
reports the Dion encouraging the culture of fighting among the
Colorado football program. We'll get to that and much more.
Have a wonderful Thursday. Here. It is our number four.
(01:11):
Let the games begin. Welcome in the start of another
hour of the Benmather Show. We are in the air
ewhere right nearby, as we are literally in the sitting room,
coast coast, border, the border, and beyond all the vast
(01:35):
and Litsley powerful microphones of fsr AMM nating live from
the Mecca, the Mecca of the Malin Militia. We're broadcasting
live from the tyraq dot com studios tyrect dot com.
We'll help you get there an unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,
(01:55):
free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended in
stars tyer raq dot com the way tire buying should be.
And I know James the Pool Guy who's been with
the show ten thousand years. It seems James the Pool
Guy there, he was very excited to watch Benny versus
the Penny sent me a screenshot which really made me
(02:17):
feel pretty good. Give me a big ego. So thank
you James the Pool Guy. He's been with the show
a long time, the radio show, and so he's watching
the TV show as well. We got action, though, We
got action at Arrowhead Stadium. That is the focal point
of the football world. You'll be watching right now, you won't.
Chiefs and Ravens will square up and the Kansas City
(02:41):
Chiefs opened to two and a half point favorite at home.
The reigning back to back champions try to become the
first team in the Super Bowl era to win three
in a row, and the Chiefs are a three point favorite.
Depending on which book you look at, they're favored by three.
The wise guys are on the side of the Ravens,
the sharp betters on the side of the Ravens, and
(03:02):
the public also thinking the Ravens are the way to go.
And you look at some of the numbers here coming
into this game, the Ravens as a dog have been
very prolific for those that like to put a couple
of shekels down on a game. As Lamar Jackson as
a dog in his career has a great record against
(03:22):
the spread. But speaking of the mark the curtain, as
we mentioned beginning here the twenty twenty four championship season,
so in the next one hundred and fifty seven days,
we will have two hundred and seventy two regular season
games played on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and if
there are some kind of weird weather events Wednesday or Tuesday,
(03:46):
no game scheduled for Wednesday and Tuesday, though the entire
postseason will be played in the next one hundred and fifty
seven days plus all those regular season games and the
wrap up Super Bowl fifty nine and are Jackson one
of the biggest stars. He'll be in action tonight and
he explained his dilemma entering the new league year. And
(04:08):
if you didn't see this, perhaps not the Ravens quarterback
Lamar Jackson haunted, he said, remains haunted by the one
thing that he cannot seem to do. He said, quote,
I haven't gotten a Super Bowl yet. That's the only
thing that bothers me. Close quote. Now, Jackson bemone that
(04:30):
even if he does win a Super Bowl, it doesn't matter.
People are still going to criticize him, which is correct.
He pointed out Lebron James and Michael Jordan and other
stars that have won and the critics still continue. But
let us discuss Lamar Jackson and his recent comment that
not reaching a Super Bowl is the only thing that
bothers him, is going to haunt him. So what exactly
(04:51):
is missing? What is the missing ingredient for the Ravens.
So I've got pet boys, cigarette lighter, and French and
we'll combine all of these things together and we will
provide the answers. We have all the answers, we have
the headphones, we have the microphone, all the answers. Your
(05:12):
heart desires to kick off here. This one is an
Ockham's razor situation. The simplest answer is the right answer
when it comes to this. And if you look at
the secret recipe of eleven herbs and spices, Lamar Jackson
is the missing ingredient because the guy that shows up
in playoff games is an imposter. That's not the regular
(05:36):
season Lamar Jackson. It's not. It's like they changed the
recipe when the playoffs come around playoffs and so he's
got this blind spot in postseason games. Is he just
not built for playoff football? Every part of the Baltimore
Ravens has been good enough to win a title for
multiple years with Lamar Jackson, and yet they can't get
(06:00):
it done. When you go and look a little closer,
it's like Lamar needs to go to Pep Boys. Look
under the hood there. That V eight engine is missing
some spark plugs when it gets down to big game
situations two and four in the playoffs and six career
playoff games, six touchdowns, six interceptions, six fumbles for Lamar Jackson.
(06:21):
It is the catchphrase from that game show back in
the day, you are the weakest link, goodbye and that's
what normally happens in playoff games. At some point, normally
it's the first game, sometimes the second game, the voice
comes out of the heavens and says, you are the
weakest link. Goodbye. All right, now, furthermore, we go now
(06:43):
to Dallas. That is where the Cowboys have listed their
depth chart, and Zeke Elliott is QB NAB one. Actually no,
he's a running back number one, but he is the
running back one there, not QB one. Zeke Elliott back
on the depth chart there. So here's the question. Cowboys
(07:03):
make the announcement. Now, a lot of teams downplay the
depth chart. They say it's not that big a deal.
The Cowboys are one of those teams. But they have
listed Zeke Elliott as running back number one on the
depth chart. So is the glass half full or is
the glass half empty in this regard? So for Zeke Elliott,
(07:23):
it's a new lease on life. You can go home again.
Doesn't mean it's gonna go well. But for the Cowboys
on the other side, it's half empty, cracked. And can
I get some pepto bismo because I got a little nausea,
I've got some heartburn. I think there's some indigestion going
on right there and an upset stomach. Believe so right,
(07:45):
and Dallas, I love this story because they got rid
of Zeke Elliott. They made the right move. They determined
that he was not going to be an effective running
back in the NFL anymore, that he was serving up
slop the soup kitchen, So they got rid of him.
So he goes to New England and he's mostly a
(08:06):
backup with the Patsies. He then proves the Cowboys hypothesis
was correct. He has his last supper with the Patriots
and now he's come back to the Cowboys as a
diminished asset. He's the plodding, outdated running back and the
Cowboys have formed the ultimate over the hill gang backfield.
(08:31):
If only you had a hot up time machine to
go back five years or so, boy, you'd be in
good shape with Dalvin Cook on one side and Zeke
on the other. And get out the cigarette lighter, Grandma,
because you might want to start burning some sage at
this point here to change the mojo in the running
back room. That said, Cowboys and Browns a big game
(08:54):
on Fox this weekend, and Tom Brady will be there,
will that be his only on Fox is going to
run off to the Raiders. Who knows, but Zeke will
be there. See what happens. The Browns have their own
issues with the creepy quarterback, the massage enthusiast, mister Deshaun Watson.
All right, last thing here, I'm gonna pivot away from
(09:17):
the NFL game and go to a very popular person
for television executives, a look through the looking glass at
Dion Sanders, At good old Dion Sanders. So, a recent
report out if you saw this or not, highlighted the
culture that Dion Sanders has put in and established at Colorado.
(09:42):
So I read this the other day, and I don't
know if I'm bring it up. It's a couple days old,
and I was like something else popped up, and I say,
wait a minute, now, this was not a puff piece.
It was not. It was a report by Athlon Sports
that said Colorado players have been encouraged by Dion Sanders
to fight each other other on campus, like they have
(10:04):
a beef. Just start fighting. Throw some haymakers, that's how
you do it. Now. I bring this up because the
story has developed a surveillance video maybe you've seen it,
maybe not. A surveillance video is making the rounds that
captured a former Buffalo's assistant coach fighting with a graduate
(10:24):
assistant at Colorado in the middle of the campus surveillance
video caught on tip. You talk about hutzbu. That's a
lot of hootsbu, all right, So how much trouble? How
much trouble is Dion Sanders facing over the allegations of
a football culture gone bad at Colorado? So the answer
(10:46):
at this point in the story, and we've got a
lot of work to do get through the book here,
a lot of chapters, a lot of pages to get through.
But at this point the answer is zero, right, It's zero.
And if you look at the way this is going,
I excuse my French, but coach Prime has carblanche. He
(11:07):
does until the lawyers get involved, those meddling lays here.
It wasn't for you, meddling lawyers, because if what I
saw is accurate, who knows somebody might have a out
to get Dion's situation. They want to attack Dion with
their machete, and Dion's too popular and people are jealous
of Deon Sanders. That's also possible. But there is video
(11:28):
that shows two people fighting. They claim that this was
from the Colorado campus and these are two people that
were involved with the program. So Dion is fine, he's
got zero trouble for now. But once the meddling lawyers
get involved, if it wasn't for you meddling lawyers, I
would have gotten away with it. Then it gets real.
Then things get real, and the poopy hits the fan
(11:50):
at that particular point. But this is an example of
when fiction becomes reality, when fiction becomes reality. If you're old,
you might remember this movie way back in that night.
That was a movie many years ago, generationally ago called
fight Club, and it was about an underground society of
physical combatants who would duke it out. And the first
(12:11):
rule of fight Club is to not talk about fight Club.
Can't do it, not allowed to do it. That was
the Brad Pitt character in fight Club. So they're not
going to talk about it because they can't talk about it.
But that's pretty ballsy, man. It's like one thing is said, well,
we need to go back to the old school, and
just got a problem. That's whyly what Dion did. Although
I don't think if Dion as a fighter with the
Cowboys or anybody else. But the other guys must have
(12:33):
done that. I can see Michael Irvin on those old
cowboy teams getting into a fight to settle the score.
I think that did happen many times. But if you
if you look at this from that perspective, So Dion's
got to worry about the lawyers here, and it would
appear that the Dion Klan there, the posse, the group,
(12:55):
what everyone want to call it. They need a refresher
course here because right now you got one anonymous player,
you got a coach, a former coach, the player, the
former player. Actually, I think he's currently on the team
right now. He said, playing football at Colorado it's like
a real life Grand Theft auto video game, is the
way he described it. Okay, uh man, that's wild and crazy.
(13:19):
There's no way that'll last because of smartphones and surveillance
cameras and all that. But he's getting away with it
now and he's getting a lot of ratings. And Colorado
knows when Dion Sanders walks out of that door and
his kids walk out, they'll be back to winning three
games a year, and that'll be that if they're lucky.
It is the Ben Malor Show. We are going to
have coming up in a little bit factor fiction. Also,

Speaker 2 (15:14):
That's the goal.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
I didn't want to mention I mentioned this earlier and
I didn't pat off. It was like one of those stories.
It's kind of really depressing at the same time kind
of cool. They had a reunion for the nineteen eighty
four Detroit Tigers, so I'm gonna do Old Guy Radio
nineteen eighty four tight. This is one of the great
teams in that era of baseball. They got off to
(15:35):
a monstrous start and they celebrate had a great, amazing
pitching staff and great lineup. Bunch of future Hall of
famers on that team. The nineteen eighty four Tigers. And
I bring this up because one of the players on
that team. Did you see chet Lemon? You see, chet
(15:55):
Lemon was an outfielder who was pretty good player. Not
the greatest player on the Tiger, He's good, a good player.
So he retired from the Detroit Tigers in nineteen ninety.
They had a reunion and he was there, and he's
barely hanging on. Chet Lemon. He suffered at least they
(16:18):
estimate thirteen strokes. He can't walk, he can't talk. He's
been in and out of the hospital. He's been to
the hospital. They say that like three hundred times over
the last thirty years since he stopped playing. James Yeah. Yeah,
So he's like in really bad shape. But they brought him,
you know, family, the chet Lemon family brought him out
(16:38):
to Detroit to be part of that. And he had
a Tiger's hat on. And there was a video clip
that I saw of Alan Trammel, who also looks old.
By the way where everyone's getting old, tramble probably is old,
and he embraced chet Lemon, and chet Lemon like smiled
like he knew who he was and the whole thing,
and it was pretty it was pretty cool. So it's depressing,
(16:58):
but at the same time that was kind of neat
for how is that? How is Kirk Gibson doing? You know,
he has a illness he's been dealing with. Yeah, I don't,
I don't know. I know that they had to stop
his broadcasting crew because of that. I have not seen
any any update on on Gibson. So but that's you know,
it's a long time ago, nineteen eighty four, so it's
(17:20):
been back in the hot top time machine anyway. So
I saw that one a message. Let's say hello to
Dick in Dayton. Hello, Dixter, good morning.
Speaker 7 (17:28):
How's everybody?
Speaker 1 (17:29):
There is the great Dick and Dayton right there, the man,
the machine, the legend.
Speaker 7 (17:34):
I've got predictions this week.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
You're right, okay, all right? Everyone quiet on the set.
Everyone quiet on the set. Dick and Dayton is about
to reveal his NFL Baffo Soko twenty twenty four predictions.
Speaker 7 (17:55):
The Bengals are going to beat the It's with forty
seconds left on McPherson.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Fields, though, so the Bengals will win but not cover.
Speaker 7 (18:11):
No.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Okay, put that down done. I like that. I might
have to steal that from the TV show. All right,
what else you got?
Speaker 7 (18:18):
Oh? The Browns thirty one? Okay, the Cowboys twenty eight.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Oh so both the Browns and Bengals by a field goal.
That's some good football. And you're never wrong about these picks.
Speaker 7 (18:35):
No, I've been pretty good, you know, I've been pretty good.
I've been doing a lot of research in the library.
And there's a guy here in Dayton that writes from Ohio.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
You.
Speaker 7 (18:47):
Yeah, he really has good articles, d L. Stewart.
Speaker 8 (18:52):
Great.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
So he's giving you knowledge. DL's giving you knowledge there
and you go down to the library.
Speaker 7 (18:56):
No, the library's just you know, they I was talking
a couple of them. They've never they I use it for,
you know, my class that I'm taking. Sure, but they
all Benny and all of them say thanks for coming in, Dick.
But a lot of them are Browns fans, and they
can't believe that. Well, one of my friend, Deal Stewart
(19:18):
has had a lot of great ark in the nineteen
ninety two thousand era. They're pretty good.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Yeah. All right, Well, I'm glad you're going to the library.
And how long do you spend in the library when
you go? Do you have how many library cards? Have
you had over the years, probably a lot.
Speaker 7 (19:32):
I don't have. Well, they have years. A little guest
passed and you're limited one hundred minutes on the computer.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Oh that's it. One hundred minutes. That's nothing.
Speaker 7 (19:41):
Hey, I just wanted to ask you a question. I
haven't called this week Jeff and Titus in them, but sure.
I think it's kind of neat to see the Fox Sports.
The Browns are on Fox Sports. You know who's doing
their play by play?
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Who would that be?
Speaker 9 (20:00):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (20:00):
You want me to tell you? I thought you knew.
I thought you were yours.
Speaker 7 (20:03):
No, No, I mean on TV.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Yeah, yeah, well that's the Tom Brady game.
Speaker 7 (20:08):
Oh yeah, I was thinking.
Speaker 9 (20:11):
I I.
Speaker 7 (20:13):
Got a response from one of my uh, one of
my friends up there.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
What they tell you?
Speaker 7 (20:20):
He says, God bless you, Dick. He left the message
that was I mean, Jimmy was one of your faces.
Jimmy loved your calls and everything. But when you called
up there, I think that somebody used to work and
forget his name, he worked at TAM for a while.
I think it was Nick, or it was Andre or
(20:40):
somebody that they left the messies that his prayers and family.
You don't appreciate my cards.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Oh that's very nice. All right, well they thank you
so again. Just for the record, Brown's Bengals both win
by a field goal this weekend. That comes from the
mouth of Dick in Dayton, right there, All right, well,
thank you Dick. Bye bye. There it goes Diick and data.
And remember if you go to the library in Dayton,
you're limited to one hundred and ten minutes on the computer.
It's one hundred ten minutes of computer time on the
(21:10):
library and if you go over that, they will publicly
flog you in town square. I might have made that
last part of Okay, that is just wonderful, just absolutely wonderful.
Speaker 10 (21:23):
Can I do some promotion here, Ben? Sure, Coop, what
do you want to promote? Well, we do this every
year and since we have Draft Kings as a sponsor again.
Speaker 1 (21:34):

the show we.
Speaker 10 (21:38):

people join this? Well, if you want to join, I
have a tweet pin to the top of my profile
at UH Bronco Fan on Twitter. There's a link there
to join the league, and you would still have to UH.

Jamar Chase did return to practice on Wednesday as he's
looking to play possibly and that season opener against the
New England Patriots, which Dick and Dayton he has picked
the Bengals.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Yeah, it's no need to watch. But he did say
for the Patriot fans to the Commonwealth, yeah, good news.
Your team will cover. So that's a good, easy money
making thing. That lines up to eight eight and a half.
That's the biggest line on the board in Week one,
the Bengals over the Patriots. Will that line hold? Who knows.
(26:03):
We'll see. I got a couple more days to go
until it is game time. See. Lebron Lebron James popped
up in the tabloids, the European tabloids. They say Lebron
is going to spend forty million dollars on luxury villas
(26:24):
in the French riviera. Right on the French rivier. He's
planning on Oh him too, huh? Having that, I thought
the I thought the water was going to take over
all the oceanfront property, but apparently not. All the rich
people are still buying it. Lebron forty million dollars worth
of luxury mansions on the French rivi Era and that
is going to be his retirement and vacation home because
you can't just rent a vacation home. You have to
(26:45):
own the vacation room. You can't just like rent an Airbnb, right,
you got to go like buy the thing. H So, yeah,
they these they love that French riviera. Have you been
to the I've never been to the French Rivier. I've
never never been there.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
No, I've been to France, but not the French Rivier.
Speaker 1 (26:58):

were held last night in both Columbus and Calgary, the
two places where Johnny Gudreaux spent his eleven year NHL career.

some of Johnny Gudrou's teammates speaking at the one in Columbus.

surgery and will miss the entire upcoming season. The team

Speaker 1 (32:49):
Hello, Okay, thank you. Daniel is in Fort Wayne. Hello Daniel,
good morning, bing.
Speaker 8 (32:58):
You got to count to Fort Wayne? Something? O?
Speaker 1 (33:00):
What do I need to do in Fort What is
there to do in Fort Wayne?
Speaker 9 (33:04):
We had people that pretend that are aroundabouts are Nascar
and they flip their cars, and then we have teenagers
that use our intersections for donuts and burnouts. And then
we have creepy people videotaping kids.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Sounds like Casablanca. Yeah, all right, hold on a sec.
James keeps calling back, James, you were already on the air, hollering.
Speaker 8 (33:29):
James, I believe you.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Look is it you were?
Speaker 8 (33:34):
You don't remember I'm forgetful, all right.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
That's all right. Let's get to it. Here we go
three stories. You listening play along, figure out which the
three is not true. Now, the entire story has to
be true. If part of it's fake, the whole thing
we're going to count as bogus. Story number one, well,
the juice around your neck OJ Well's freud and slipped.
OJ Simpson is dead and he has been turned into jewelry.
(34:05):
TMZ reporting that Simpson was cremated back in April, as
kids have roasted him and put his ashes into all
kinds of jewelry. The total cost a little over four
thousand dollars. Ojy here all right. Story number two. Patrick
Mahomes said during a recent interview that Taylor Swift has
(34:27):
gotten really into football, has even started drawing up places. Now.
Most thought that Mahomes was joking, but on Wednesday, Andy
Reid confirmed the media that not only has Taylor Swift
been drawing up plays, but the team fully intends to
use at least one of them at some point during
the Chiefs season. And storry number three, Joey Chestnut is
(34:51):
a working man. Joey test nutt earlier this week scarfed
down a record eighty three hot dogs and buns to
defeat his nemesis Kobyashi in Vegas. Now Chestnut is still eating.
Is gonna be in Ohio in Cincinnati this weekend to
do a five versus one. Octoberfest brought challenge as part
of the halftime entertainment for the Bengals game against the Patriots,
(35:16):
which could be more entertaining than the Game of Sol,
although according to Dick and Dayton, the Bengals will win
but not cover. So those are the three stories. One
of them is not true, separate fiction from fact. Let's
start out power couple, Jack the judge, he's coming back
from the d L with Leslie and Jack. Which one
is the fake story?
Speaker 8 (35:37):
Number one?
Speaker 9 (35:37):
Ben?
Speaker 1 (35:38):
Number what?
Speaker 8 (35:39):
All right?
Speaker 1 (35:40):
Take it easy, Jack, don't come back too soon. Okay,
take it easy, Yes, thank you, all right, We love
you man. Hold on, and now we have Milkman. Mike, Milkman,
Mike one two or three, milkman Man.
Speaker 7 (35:53):
I'm gonna tell.
Speaker 8 (35:53):
You right now, born and raised in Indiana.
Speaker 7 (35:55):
Do not go to Fort Wayne.
Speaker 9 (35:57):
It's number two.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Fort Wayne is number two. All right, hold on in
sek and we have let's see here, who is next
eeny Anie Money Moore. Oh full Exus, America's favorite drag
queen caller from Buffalo. Hello, Fulllexus number one. You sure
about that?
Speaker 8 (36:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (36:18):
Sure, all right, there you go. You've already given your picks, right,
so you don't need to call up tomorrow and give
your picks. You already gave your picks the other day.
Speaker 5 (36:26):
Right.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
Oh, thanks for the warning. Thanks for the warning. I
appreciate that. All right, hold on sake, if this penny
thing doesn't work out, I'll have Benny versus the drag queen.
We can do picks on. That'll be the next show.
That'll be like a spin off show they get rid
of the penny. We have a Daniel in Fort Wayne,
the Chamber of Commerce for Fort Wayne, Indiana. Daniel, I
(36:48):
don't see Taylor Swift drawing out place.
Speaker 8 (36:50):
I'll go with number two.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
You're gonna go with number two?
Speaker 2 (36:52):
All right?
Speaker 1 (36:53):
Very good? Thank you? Hold on, sick and James, you've
harassed us the entire night. You might as well. We'll
finish off factor fiction one, two or three.
Speaker 7 (37:03):
James, I'm harassing you because I'm harassing number three.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
All right, thank you, showing you paid close attention that
I used that story earlier in the show. All right,
we don't have time to run down all the stories,
but the fake story is number two. Now. Taylor Swift
is writing up plays, but Andy Reid did not did
(37:32):
not say that he's going to use one of Taylor
Swift's plays during the season. But I will bet you,
I will bet you dollars to donuts that the Chiefs
do use one of Taylor Swift's plays this season. The
thing about it, though, I saw no buddy mine about this.
The other that was texting a friend of mine the
other day. So what they're gonna do is, if it works,
they'll say it was from Taylor Swift. If it doesn't work,
(37:54):
you won't know about it. We'll never hear about it.
But if they have some gimmick play where like there's
a flea flicker and then somehow Mahomes hands the ball
off to Kelsey and he flips it back to Mahomes
and then they double flee flicker and he flips it
over to Kelsey and then Kelsey throws a touchdown past,
they'll say, but I was Taylor, that was the Swifties.
(38:17):
That's what that was all right away. There is factor fiction,
and to think through all our celebrity judges, what a
cast of all stars we assembled there, that's amazing. What talent,
A lot of talent,
Hello and welcome. It's our number four. Is that poultergeist? Well,
this is Thursday, the start of the NFL season, as
Baltimore will take on Kansas City tonight at Arrowhead. And
in honor of that, we parse the words of Lamar Jackson.
Is he being haunted? He said? Not reaching the Super
(00:23):
Bowl is the only thing that bothers him. What's missing
for the Ravens to get to a super Bowl? Also,
the Cowboys have listed Zeke Elliott as running back one
on the depth chart. Is the glass half full or
half empty for Zeke in Dallas? And how much trouble
if any? Is Deon Sanders in facing this fight video
(00:47):
which is out on the Internet of a couple of
college football staffers at Colorado getting into a fight and
reports the Dion encouraging the culture of fighting among the
Colorado football program. We'll get to that and much more.
Have a wonderful Thursday. Here. It is our number four.
(01:11):
Let the games begin. Welcome in the start of another
hour of the Benmather Show. We are in the air
ewhere right nearby, as we are literally in the sitting room,
coast coast, border, the border, and beyond all the vast
(01:35):
and Litsley powerful microphones of fsr AMM nating live from
the Mecca, the Mecca of the Malin Militia. We're broadcasting
live from the tyraq dot com studios tyrect dot com.
We'll help you get there an unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,
(01:55):
free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended in
stars tyer raq dot com the way tire buying should be.
And I know James the Pool Guy who's been with
the show ten thousand years. It seems James the Pool
Guy there, he was very excited to watch Benny versus
the Penny sent me a screenshot which really made me
(02:17):
feel pretty good. Give me a big ego. So thank
you James the Pool Guy. He's been with the show
a long time, the radio show, and so he's watching
the TV show as well. We got action, though, We
got action at Arrowhead Stadium. That is the focal point
of the football world. You'll be watching right now, you won't.
Chiefs and Ravens will square up and the Kansas City
(02:41):
Chiefs opened to two and a half point favorite at home.
The reigning back to back champions try to become the
first team in the Super Bowl era to win three
in a row, and the Chiefs are a three point favorite.
Depending on which book you look at, they're favored by three.
The wise guys are on the side of the Ravens,
the sharp betters on the side of the Ravens, and
(03:02):
the public also thinking the Ravens are the way to go.
And you look at some of the numbers here coming
into this game, the Ravens as a dog have been
very prolific for those that like to put a couple
of shekels down on a game. As Lamar Jackson as
a dog in his career has a great record against
(03:22):
the spread. But speaking of the mark the curtain, as
we mentioned beginning here the twenty twenty four championship season,
so in the next one hundred and fifty seven days,
we will have two hundred and seventy two regular season
games played on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and if
there are some kind of weird weather events Wednesday or Tuesday,
(03:46):
no game scheduled for Wednesday and Tuesday, though the entire
postseason will be played in the next one hundred and fifty
seven days plus all those regular season games and the
wrap up Super Bowl fifty nine and are Jackson one
of the biggest stars. He'll be in action tonight and
he explained his dilemma entering the new league year. And
(04:08):
if you didn't see this, perhaps not the Ravens quarterback
Lamar Jackson haunted, he said, remains haunted by the one
thing that he cannot seem to do. He said, quote,
I haven't gotten a Super Bowl yet. That's the only
thing that bothers me. Close quote. Now, Jackson bemone that
(04:30):
even if he does win a Super Bowl, it doesn't matter.
People are still going to criticize him, which is correct.
He pointed out Lebron James and Michael Jordan and other
stars that have won and the critics still continue. But
let us discuss Lamar Jackson and his recent comment that
not reaching a Super Bowl is the only thing that
bothers him, is going to haunt him. So what exactly
(04:51):
is missing? What is the missing ingredient for the Ravens.
So I've got pet boys, cigarette lighter, and French and
we'll combine all of these things together and we will
provide the answers. We have all the answers, we have
the headphones, we have the microphone, all the answers. Your
(05:12):
heart desires to kick off here. This one is an
Ockham's razor situation. The simplest answer is the right answer
when it comes to this. And if you look at
the secret recipe of eleven herbs and spices, Lamar Jackson
is the missing ingredient because the guy that shows up
in playoff games is an imposter. That's not the regular
(05:36):
season Lamar Jackson. It's not. It's like they changed the
recipe when the playoffs come around playoffs and so he's
got this blind spot in postseason games. Is he just
not built for playoff football? Every part of the Baltimore
Ravens has been good enough to win a title for
multiple years with Lamar Jackson, and yet they can't get
(06:00):
it done. When you go and look a little closer,
it's like Lamar needs to go to Pep Boys. Look
under the hood there. That V eight engine is missing
some spark plugs when it gets down to big game
situations two and four in the playoffs and six career
playoff games, six touchdowns, six interceptions, six fumbles for Lamar Jackson.
(06:21):
It is the catchphrase from that game show back in
the day, you are the weakest link, goodbye and that's
what normally happens in playoff games. At some point, normally
it's the first game, sometimes the second game, the voice
comes out of the heavens and says, you are the
weakest link. Goodbye. All right, now, furthermore, we go now
(06:43):
to Dallas. That is where the Cowboys have listed their
depth chart, and Zeke Elliott is QB NAB one. Actually no,
he's a running back number one, but he is the
running back one there, not QB one. Zeke Elliott back
on the depth chart there. So here's the question. Cowboys
(07:03):
make the announcement. Now, a lot of teams downplay the
depth chart. They say it's not that big a deal.
The Cowboys are one of those teams. But they have
listed Zeke Elliott as running back number one on the
depth chart. So is the glass half full or is
the glass half empty in this regard? So for Zeke Elliott,
(07:23):
it's a new lease on life. You can go home again.
Doesn't mean it's gonna go well. But for the Cowboys
on the other side, it's half empty, cracked. And can
I get some pepto bismo because I got a little nausea,
I've got some heartburn. I think there's some indigestion going
on right there and an upset stomach. Believe so right,
(07:45):
and Dallas, I love this story because they got rid
of Zeke Elliott. They made the right move. They determined
that he was not going to be an effective running
back in the NFL anymore, that he was serving up
slop the soup kitchen, So they got rid of him.
So he goes to New England and he's mostly a
(08:06):
backup with the Patsies. He then proves the Cowboys hypothesis
was correct. He has his last supper with the Patriots
and now he's come back to the Cowboys as a
diminished asset. He's the plodding, outdated running back and the
Cowboys have formed the ultimate over the hill gang backfield.
(08:31):
If only you had a hot up time machine to
go back five years or so, boy, you'd be in
good shape with Dalvin Cook on one side and Zeke
on the other. And get out the cigarette lighter, Grandma,
because you might want to start burning some sage at
this point here to change the mojo in the running
back room. That said, Cowboys and Browns a big game
(08:54):
on Fox this weekend, and Tom Brady will be there,
will that be his only on Fox is going to
run off to the Raiders. Who knows, but Zeke will
be there. See what happens. The Browns have their own
issues with the creepy quarterback, the massage enthusiast, mister Deshaun Watson.
All right, last thing here, I'm gonna pivot away from
(09:17):
the NFL game and go to a very popular person
for television executives, a look through the looking glass at
Dion Sanders, At good old Dion Sanders. So, a recent
report out if you saw this or not, highlighted the
culture that Dion Sanders has put in and established at Colorado.
(09:42):
So I read this the other day, and I don't
know if I'm bring it up. It's a couple days old,
and I was like something else popped up, and I say,
wait a minute, now, this was not a puff piece.
It was not. It was a report by Athlon Sports
that said Colorado players have been encouraged by Dion Sanders
to fight each other other on campus, like they have
(10:04):
a beef. Just start fighting. Throw some haymakers, that's how
you do it. Now. I bring this up because the
story has developed a surveillance video maybe you've seen it,
maybe not. A surveillance video is making the rounds that
captured a former Buffalo's assistant coach fighting with a graduate
(10:24):
assistant at Colorado in the middle of the campus surveillance
video caught on tip. You talk about hutzbu. That's a
lot of hootsbu, all right, So how much trouble? How
much trouble is Dion Sanders facing over the allegations of
a football culture gone bad at Colorado? So the answer
(10:46):
at this point in the story, and we've got a
lot of work to do get through the book here,
a lot of chapters, a lot of pages to get through.
But at this point the answer is zero, right, It's zero.
And if you look at the way this is going,
I excuse my French, but coach Prime has carblanche. He
(11:07):
does until the lawyers get involved, those meddling lays here.
It wasn't for you, meddling lawyers, because if what I
saw is accurate, who knows somebody might have a out
to get Dion's situation. They want to attack Dion with
their machete, and Dion's too popular and people are jealous
of Deon Sanders. That's also possible. But there is video
(11:28):
that shows two people fighting. They claim that this was
from the Colorado campus and these are two people that
were involved with the program. So Dion is fine, he's
got zero trouble for now. But once the meddling lawyers
get involved, if it wasn't for you meddling lawyers, I
would have gotten away with it. Then it gets real.
Then things get real, and the poopy hits the fan
(11:50):
at that particular point. But this is an example of
when fiction becomes reality, when fiction becomes reality. If you're old,
you might remember this movie way back in that night.
That was a movie many years ago, generationally ago called
fight Club, and it was about an underground society of
physical combatants who would duke it out. And the first
(12:11):
rule of fight Club is to not talk about fight Club.
Can't do it, not allowed to do it. That was
the Brad Pitt character in fight Club. So they're not
going to talk about it because they can't talk about it.
But that's pretty ballsy, man. It's like one thing is said, well,
we need to go back to the old school, and
just got a problem. That's whyly what Dion did. Although
I don't think if Dion as a fighter with the
Cowboys or anybody else. But the other guys must have
(12:33):
done that. I can see Michael Irvin on those old
cowboy teams getting into a fight to settle the score.
I think that did happen many times. But if you
if you look at this from that perspective, So Dion's
got to worry about the lawyers here, and it would
appear that the Dion Klan there, the posse, the group,
(12:55):
what everyone want to call it. They need a refresher
course here because right now you got one anonymous player,
you got a coach, a former coach, the player, the
former player. Actually, I think he's currently on the team
right now. He said, playing football at Colorado it's like
a real life Grand Theft auto video game, is the
way he described it. Okay, uh man, that's wild and crazy.
(13:19):
There's no way that'll last because of smartphones and surveillance
cameras and all that. But he's getting away with it
now and he's getting a lot of ratings. And Colorado
knows when Dion Sanders walks out of that door and
his kids walk out, they'll be back to winning three
games a year, and that'll be that if they're lucky.
It is the Ben Malor Show. We are going to
have coming up in a little bit factor fiction. Also,

Speaker 2 (15:14):
That's the goal.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
I didn't want to mention I mentioned this earlier and
I didn't pat off. It was like one of those stories.
It's kind of really depressing at the same time kind
of cool. They had a reunion for the nineteen eighty
four Detroit Tigers, so I'm gonna do Old Guy Radio
nineteen eighty four tight. This is one of the great
teams in that era of baseball. They got off to
(15:35):
a monstrous start and they celebrate had a great, amazing
pitching staff and great lineup. Bunch of future Hall of
famers on that team. The nineteen eighty four Tigers. And
I bring this up because one of the players on
that team. Did you see chet Lemon? You see, chet
(15:55):
Lemon was an outfielder who was pretty good player. Not
the greatest player on the Tiger, He's good, a good player.
So he retired from the Detroit Tigers in nineteen ninety.
They had a reunion and he was there, and he's
barely hanging on. Chet Lemon. He suffered at least they
(16:18):
estimate thirteen strokes. He can't walk, he can't talk. He's
been in and out of the hospital. He's been to
the hospital. They say that like three hundred times over
the last thirty years since he stopped playing. James Yeah. Yeah,
So he's like in really bad shape. But they brought him,
you know, family, the chet Lemon family brought him out
(16:38):
to Detroit to be part of that. And he had
a Tiger's hat on. And there was a video clip
that I saw of Alan Trammel, who also looks old.
By the way where everyone's getting old, tramble probably is old,
and he embraced chet Lemon, and chet Lemon like smiled
like he knew who he was and the whole thing,
and it was pretty it was pretty cool. So it's depressing,
(16:58):
but at the same time that was kind of neat
for how is that? How is Kirk Gibson doing? You know,
he has a illness he's been dealing with. Yeah, I don't,
I don't know. I know that they had to stop
his broadcasting crew because of that. I have not seen
any any update on on Gibson. So but that's you know,
it's a long time ago, nineteen eighty four, so it's
(17:20):
been back in the hot top time machine anyway. So
I saw that one a message. Let's say hello to
Dick in Dayton. Hello, Dixter, good morning.
Speaker 7 (17:28):
How's everybody?
Speaker 1 (17:29):
There is the great Dick and Dayton right there, the man,
the machine, the legend.
Speaker 7 (17:34):
I've got predictions this week.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
You're right, okay, all right? Everyone quiet on the set.
Everyone quiet on the set. Dick and Dayton is about
to reveal his NFL Baffo Soko twenty twenty four predictions.
Speaker 7 (17:55):
The Bengals are going to beat the It's with forty
seconds left on McPherson.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Fields, though, so the Bengals will win but not cover.
Speaker 7 (18:11):
No.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Okay, put that down done. I like that. I might
have to steal that from the TV show. All right,
what else you got?
Speaker 7 (18:18):
Oh? The Browns thirty one? Okay, the Cowboys twenty eight.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Oh so both the Browns and Bengals by a field goal.
That's some good football. And you're never wrong about these picks.
Speaker 7 (18:35):
No, I've been pretty good, you know, I've been pretty good.
I've been doing a lot of research in the library.
And there's a guy here in Dayton that writes from Ohio.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
You.
Speaker 7 (18:47):
Yeah, he really has good articles, d L. Stewart.
Speaker 8 (18:52):
Great.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
So he's giving you knowledge. DL's giving you knowledge there
and you go down to the library.
Speaker 7 (18:56):
No, the library's just you know, they I was talking
a couple of them. They've never they I use it for,
you know, my class that I'm taking. Sure, but they
all Benny and all of them say thanks for coming in, Dick.
But a lot of them are Browns fans, and they
can't believe that. Well, one of my friend, Deal Stewart
(19:18):
has had a lot of great ark in the nineteen
ninety two thousand era. They're pretty good.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Yeah. All right, Well, I'm glad you're going to the library.
And how long do you spend in the library when
you go? Do you have how many library cards? Have
you had over the years, probably a lot.
Speaker 7 (19:32):
I don't have. Well, they have years. A little guest
passed and you're limited one hundred minutes on the computer.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Oh that's it. One hundred minutes. That's nothing.
Speaker 7 (19:41):
Hey, I just wanted to ask you a question. I
haven't called this week Jeff and Titus in them, but sure.
I think it's kind of neat to see the Fox Sports.
The Browns are on Fox Sports. You know who's doing
their play by play?
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Who would that be?
Speaker 9 (20:00):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (20:00):
You want me to tell you? I thought you knew.
I thought you were yours.
Speaker 7 (20:03):
No, No, I mean on TV.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Yeah, yeah, well that's the Tom Brady game.
Speaker 7 (20:08):
Oh yeah, I was thinking.
Speaker 9 (20:11):
I I.
Speaker 7 (20:13):
Got a response from one of my uh, one of
my friends up there.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
What they tell you?
Speaker 7 (20:20):
He says, God bless you, Dick. He left the message
that was I mean, Jimmy was one of your faces.
Jimmy loved your calls and everything. But when you called
up there, I think that somebody used to work and
forget his name, he worked at TAM for a while.
I think it was Nick, or it was Andre or
(20:40):
somebody that they left the messies that his prayers and family.
You don't appreciate my cards.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Oh that's very nice. All right, well they thank you
so again. Just for the record, Brown's Bengals both win
by a field goal this weekend. That comes from the
mouth of Dick in Dayton, right there, All right, well,
thank you Dick. Bye bye. There it goes Diick and data.
And remember if you go to the library in Dayton,
you're limited to one hundred and ten minutes on the computer.
It's one hundred ten minutes of computer time on the
(21:10):
library and if you go over that, they will publicly
flog you in town square. I might have made that
last part of Okay, that is just wonderful, just absolutely wonderful.
Speaker 10 (21:23):
Can I do some promotion here, Ben? Sure, Coop, what
do you want to promote? Well, we do this every
year and since we have Draft Kings as a sponsor again.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
That's right. We love DraftKings and the big part of
the show we.
Speaker 10 (21:38):

the crown is yours. That's right.
Speaker 10 (21:56):
So we have a Malar Militia league, and how can
people join this? Well, if you want to join, I
have a tweet pin to the top of my profile
at UH Bronco Fan on Twitter. There's a link there
to join the league, and you would still have to UH.
Once you join the league, then you click on the
contest each week. But if you join the league, you'll
get an email reminder every week. And if you're not

Koople loops money, or he can take your money.

week five bucks.

I got my.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Okay, great, my opinion is it great? I got the
greatest opinions. Come on, I'm an opinion machine and put
some money in there. I got nothing but opinions.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
What do I need to do in Fort What is
there to do in Fort Wayne?
Speaker 9 (33:04):
We had people that pretend that are aroundabouts are Nascar
and they flip their cars, and then we have teenagers
that use our intersections for donuts and burnouts. And then
we have creepy people videotaping kids.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Sounds like Casablanca. Yeah, all right, hold on a sec.
James keeps calling back, James, you were already on the air, hollering.
Speaker 8 (33:29):
James, I believe you.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Look is it you were?
Speaker 8 (33:34):
You don't remember I'm forgetful, all right.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
That's all right. Let's get to it. Here we go
three stories. You listening play along, figure out which the
three is not true. Now, the entire story has to
be true. If part of it's fake, the whole thing
we're going to count as bogus. Story number one, well,
the juice around your neck OJ Well's freud and slipped.
OJ Simpson is dead and he has been turned into jewelry.
(34:05):
TMZ reporting that Simpson was cremated back in April, as
kids have roasted him and put his ashes into all
kinds of jewelry. The total cost a little over four
thousand dollars. Ojy here all right. Story number two. Patrick
Mahomes said during a recent interview that Taylor Swift has
(34:27):
gotten really into football, has even started drawing up places. Now.
Most thought that Mahomes was joking, but on Wednesday, Andy
Reid confirmed the media that not only has Taylor Swift
been drawing up plays, but the team fully intends to
use at least one of them at some point during
the Chiefs season. And storry number three, Joey Chestnut is
(34:51):
a working man. Joey test nutt earlier this week scarfed
down a record eighty three hot dogs and buns to
defeat his nemesis Kobyashi in Vegas. Now Chestnut is still eating.
Is gonna be in Ohio in Cincinnati this weekend to
do a five versus one. Octoberfest brought challenge as part
of the halftime entertainment for the Bengals game against the Patriots,
(35:16):
which could be more entertaining than the Game of Sol,
although according to Dick and Dayton, the Bengals will win
but not cover. So those are the three stories. One
of them is not true, separate fiction from fact. Let's
start out power couple, Jack the judge, he's coming back
from the d L with Leslie and Jack. Which one
is the fake story?
Speaker 8 (35:37):
Number one?
Speaker 9 (35:37):
Ben?
Speaker 1 (35:38):
Number what?
Speaker 8 (35:39):
All right?
Speaker 1 (35:40):
Take it easy, Jack, don't come back too soon. Okay,
take it easy, Yes, thank you, all right, We love
you man. Hold on, and now we have Milkman. Mike, Milkman,
Mike one two or three, milkman Man.
Speaker 7 (35:53):
I'm gonna tell.
Speaker 8 (35:53):
You right now, born and raised in Indiana.
Speaker 7 (35:55):
Do not go to Fort Wayne.
Speaker 9 (35:57):
It's number two.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Fort Wayne is number two. All right, hold on in
sek and we have let's see here, who is next
eeny Anie Money Moore. Oh full Exus, America's favorite drag
queen caller from Buffalo. Hello, Fulllexus number one. You sure
about that?
Speaker 8 (36:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (36:18):
Sure, all right, there you go. You've already given your picks, right,
so you don't need to call up tomorrow and give
your picks. You already gave your picks the other day.
Speaker 5 (36:26):
Right.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
Oh, thanks for the warning. Thanks for the warning. I
appreciate that. All right, hold on sake, if this penny
thing doesn't work out, I'll have Benny versus the drag queen.
We can do picks on. That'll be the next show.
That'll be like a spin off show they get rid
of the penny. We have a Daniel in Fort Wayne,
the Chamber of Commerce for Fort Wayne, Indiana. Daniel, I
(36:48):
don't see Taylor Swift drawing out place.
Speaker 8 (36:50):
I'll go with number two.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
You're gonna go with number two?
Speaker 2 (36:52):
All right?
Speaker 1 (36:53):
Very good? Thank you? Hold on, sick and James, you've
harassed us the entire night. You might as well. We'll
finish off factor fiction one, two or three.
Speaker 7 (37:03):
James, I'm harassing you because I'm harassing number three.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
All right, thank you, showing you paid close attention that
I used that story earlier in the show. All right,
we don't have time to run down all the stories,
but the fake story is number two. Now. Taylor Swift
is writing up plays, but Andy Reid did not did
(37:32):
not say that he's going to use one of Taylor
Swift's plays during the season. But I will bet you,
I will bet you dollars to donuts that the Chiefs
do use one of Taylor Swift's plays this season. The
thing about it, though, I saw no buddy mine about this.
The other that was texting a friend of mine the
other day. So what they're gonna do is, if it works,
they'll say it was from Taylor Swift. If it doesn't work,
(37:54):
you won't know about it. We'll never hear about it.
But if they have some gimmick play where like there's
a flea flicker and then somehow Mahomes hands the ball
off to Kelsey and he flips it back to Mahomes
and then they double flee flicker and he flips it
over to Kelsey and then Kelsey throws a touchdown past,
they'll say, but I was Taylor, that was the Swifties.
(38:17):
That's what that was all right away. There is factor fiction,
and to think through all our celebrity judges, what a
cast of all stars we assembled there, that's amazing. What talent,
A lot of talent,
