Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our numbber four, our four knocking
on the door, and a happy Tuesday to you. It's
the fifteenth day of October and we go where the
news of the day takes us. And on this Tuesday
we start out in the NFL, Eagle coach Nick Sirianni
(00:23):
has been accused of using his children as shields during
a news conference. Where do you stand on this one?
Also Sirianni apologizing for getting into it with Philly fans
late in the game with Cleveland. While Tua Tonguabai Looa
has planned his return to the Dolphins during Week eight.
Is this ludicrous or is it logical? We'll discuss that.
(00:46):
And wide receiver Cede Lamb says the Cowboys will be
fine the bye week or is going to help the team.
What are your thoughts on the confidence that Cedee Lamb
has in the twenty twenty four Cowboys who are owing
three in Jerry's world. We'll talk about that and much
more right now. Again, have a wonderful Tuesday here it
(01:06):
is our number four living in Birdland. Will come in
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malors Show.
We are in the air everywhere, squirming as we pace
(01:29):
up and down and all around coast, the coast, border,
the border and beyond. On the mast and supendously powerful
microphones of FSR. We're open all night, emm nating live
from the smell, the smell of that oily rag as
(01:49):
we are broadcasting live from the tyraq dot com studios
tyraq dot com. We'll help you get there in unmatched selection,
fast free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten
thousand recommended installers tyre rack dot com the way tire
buying should be. I know, rick O the Laker Lapdog,
(02:11):
impressed by that number ten thousand, says the Clippers will
win ten thousand games in that new arena where they
played an exhibition game last night. But our lead this
hour is from that would be Philadelphia. Why not thee
bounce around the NFL. Now, we did have a Monday
night game that was close. Aaron Rodgers had the ball
(02:31):
down by a field goal, plenty of time left, plenty
of timeouts, and did the thing you can't do it
at the time, you can't do it, interception game ceiling interception.
Buffalo wins. They didn't play all that well the Bills,
but they do win the game last night, so the
Bills are in first place in the AFC East. But
we'll go to Philadelphia. The soap opera, that's what it's
all about. And our first stop on the round robin
(02:54):
journey in Philly involves the fallout from the Eagles block
a performance. It was blah with a game against the
creepy quarterback Deshaun Watson and a big favorite, big favorite
at home against the morbid Brownies and unable to pull
away get an easy win despite having many of their
(03:18):
star players back in the lineup. It did not work out. Now,
as we talked about in a previous episode of the show,
head coach Nick Sirianni started barking at a gaggle of
Philadelphia Eagle fans. He was doing a poor man's Hulk
Hogan impersonation. You know, you put your index finger to
(03:39):
the right ear there and you're like, oh, you can't
hear you. I can't hear you. Yeah, it's like that.
So if you didn't see this, and we talked about
it a little bit, there's some more information that it
has come out on Nick Sirianni and his tenuous job
status in Philadelphia. We've learned that Sirianni used his is
(04:00):
children as human shields facing the media following the Eagles victory.
And we'll play somebody here in a second, but let's
discuss the question for the esteem panel. Eagles coach Nick
Siriani accused of using his kids as a shields during
(04:21):
this news conference. Where do you stand on that one?
So I've got mind hack, the animals and naked gun
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make fresh pastrami sandwiches. Help you
enjoy that for breakfast, the nice pastrami sandwich. So to
(04:42):
lead off here, Nick Siriani is good for what I do.
If you're in the talk radio business, Nick Sirianni's good
because he's bad at what he does and he thinks
he's God's gift the coach, right, and so he's a firebrand.
He gets into it. He has no self control, and
we know he's unborrowed time. This guy's not going to
(05:03):
coach long in Philadelphia. And a day after the side show,
we understand that Sirianni did apologize. In fact, I think
we have the audio on that. Do we have the
audiore's Nick Sirianni a day later saying, well, you know, well,
let's let him.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Talk what I was really doing. I was trying to
bring energy yesterday, energy enthusiasm yesterday. Yeah, and I'm sorry
and disappointed on how my energy was directed at the
end of the game. And you know, my energy should
be all in on coaching, motivating right and celebrating with
our guys.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Yeah, so he was upset with how his energy was directed.
You know what that sounded like to me? That sounded
like the knock on the door. Hey, we'd like to
have a talk. And it was somebody in ownership. It's like, hey, Nick,
this is this is not a good look. We don't
like this here. And he got the tap on the
shoulder and so he issued an apology because he was
(06:00):
singing a much different song the day before and a
discombobulated mess. Nick Sirianni the coach of the Eagles, and
he's an insecture loose cannon, which is a bad combination.
He's easily provoked. We all know someone in life who's
(06:21):
like this. Maybe you don't know them now, but back
when you were in school or back in your younger days,
somebody who's easily set off a volcano waiting to explode
molten hot lava, and he's got a legendarily short fuse,
Nick Siriani, And now he's apologized. But not only did
he jaw with the paying customers, the Eagle fans on Sunday.
(06:46):
But that's just his latest in a long series of
outstanding moments good for sports talk radio. You might remember
when the Eagles played the Colts, Nick Sirianni thought he
got revenge because the Colts had gotten rid of his mentor,
Frank Wright, and so he started screaming at Indianapolis fans
(07:10):
during that game in Kansas City. A clip that is
still viral to this day and still he gets played
over and over and over on social media is in
Kansas City when he gloated to Chiefs fans as he
strutted through the bowels of Arrowhead Stadium after a win
(07:31):
on Monday night and was just screaming and hooting and
hollering and all that. And the legend is that he
needs Dom, the security guy, the chief security officer, Dom Desandro,
to keep him online, in line on the sidelines. They're
keep him focused. So it's not surprising that he's accused
(07:53):
now after the game on Sunday, using his kids as
a force field, if you will, so the media could
not act ask him tough questions. Right, A classical mind
hack that many athletes have done, and they use the
kid the KC movement, right, they manipulate the mind. We
call it the KC the kid card from the bottom
(08:15):
of the deck, play the kid card. A lot of
basketball players will do that. They'll go out there and
miss the game winning shot or have a terrible game,
and they'll have their child as a prop on their
lap because you know, a toddler really wants to be
on camera. But it's a good way to protect the
player from any any real criticism. It's a defense mechanism,
and use your kids. And so Nick Sirianni using these kids,
(08:38):
and god forbid you ever point out how bad that looks, because, oh,
you don't like children? What's wrong with you? Oh? I
can't believe that the low information fan embraces that. They're like, oh,
that's great father of the year for forgetting the fact
that they're putting their kids in between them and their job.
You're not supposed to talk about that part out loud.
(08:59):
All right. Now we head to Miami, where it's not official,
official official, but it's almost official official official. We're gonna
get out in front on the story. Dolphins coach Mike
McDaniel revealing on Monday that he expects quarterback Tua tonguebai
Loa to return from concussion protocol before before the end
(09:22):
of this season. Now, Tua is not eligible to come
back this week. He's on injured reserve, but he is
planning the return to the Dolphins. The word that we're
hearing is week number eight. That is the plan that
tool will be back with the Dolphins in week number eight.
So is this ludicrous or logical? So obviously depends on
(09:47):
what side of the aisle you're on. I would say
it is like a tune from the animals back in
the day, right, Hummin' bars. It's my life and I'll
do what I want. It's my mind and I'll think
what I want. And so he's like, hey, I want
to play, and people are trying to talk him out
of playing, and he wants to play, and if this
(10:08):
is his life and if something were to happen, that's
on him. As long as somebody says it's your decision
to make you have all your faculties and you want
to play, and good luck, and oh, by the way,
sign this waiver and this waiver and this waiver and
this waiver so we have no liability and then it
gets tied up in the court system for years to come.
(10:29):
But we know long term, even if two it comes
back and plays, and let's say he stays healthy for
the rest of the year, this is going to continue
to haunt the Dolphins because it's it's a house of
cards situation, meaning that even if Tua makes it through
five or six games, you know at any given moment,
(10:50):
it's going to go all to hell, and it's a
ticking time bomb. Tick tick tick tick tick tick and
eventually it will go come boom and then you're stuck
with a parade of stiffs who are the Dolphins backup quarterbacks. Now,
last thing, we go to Dallas where wide receiver Ceedee
Lamb wants you to know everything is fine. Cowboys blow,
(11:12):
but everything is just fine in cowboy Land. He said
that the bye week will help the Cowboys and everything's
going to be okay. So what are your thoughts on that.
This is known as the naked gun defense by Ceedee
Lamb or go, hey, move on, nothing to see here,
(11:33):
and please disperse, Please disperse. And I totally understand why
Ceedee Lamb would say that, because in his world everything
is fine. It doesn't matter whether the Cowboys win. Winning
doesn't get you paid. Winning playoff games doesn't matter to
Jerry Jones, it's all about making sure that there's drama
and people are talking about the Dallas Cowboys and all that,
(11:56):
and so CD is like, well, yeah, you can deny
your lying eye and all that and downplay the situation
that everything's going to be okay. And why not he
got a pile of gold bouyon. In fact, everyone other
than Michael Parsons has gotten a pile of gold bouleon
(12:16):
rewarded for failure. It's true, is ceed Lamb? We got
one hundred million dollars guaranteed. It's never been to an
NFC championship game and not played well in most playoff opportunities.
How about Dak Prescott one hundred and twenty nine million
more guaranteed? God forbid you go without Dak Prescott. I mean,
what would happen to the Cowboys without Dak Prescott? They
(12:38):
might actually win a playoff game more than once yeah.
So if you're a CD Lamb, I understand the psychology
behind his statement is, Hey, everything's fine. Don't worry. We
all got paid. We don't have to sing for our supper.
We've already got our supper. Our meals are taken care of.
We got no show jobs. Show up, we'll look good
(13:00):
in the uniform, we'll represent the franchise. And we lose,
we lose, but hey, we all got paid. That's what
it's all about. And you don't be fans that invest
your time and are worried about this. You're the losers.
We're not worried. I want to point out ceedee Lamb
stats across the board, down down, down, down down doing
a limbo. How low can you go? How low can
(13:23):
you go? It is the Ben Malor Show. As we
press on and on, and we'll circle back to the
baseball later on. The Mets and Dodgers tied one one,
best of five. Now heads back to New York. That'll
be tomorrow, and the Yankees pobble the team formerly known
as the Cleveland Indians in Game one and they will
(13:44):
be back at it later today in the American League
Championship Series. So that's the story. In baseball. Take more,
more of a wider angle. Look at that straight ahead
an NFL star being called out one of the biggest
names in pro football for a social media faux Paul.
(14:04):
What did the star do? And is it really that
big a deal. We'll get to that and we will
do it next.

Tana peak at the baseball matchup tonight in the Bronx
Tanner Bebe will be on the mound for the Cleveland Guardians.
Very exciting. We'll see what he can do. I just
pronounced biby bibby will be a them out against a
Garrett Cole and the Yankees a big favorite, the overnight money,
(15:07):
the wise guys of the Sharps all over the Yankees
a little less, but still the majority in favor of
the public on the Yankees. And then the Dodgers and Mets.
They play tomorrow little Wednesday Night activity in New York
and Walker Buehler Bueler Buehler versus Luis Sevarino for the Mets.
(15:28):
Mets a favorite at minus one to oh nine, so
a slight slight favorite there. And the money money money,
There is a difference here on this one. The public
is betting on the Dodgers. The professionals are betting on
the Mets. Well, you have a gambling problem only if
(15:50):
you lose. If you win, it's not a problem. If
you lose, it's a problem. That's that's the problem, all right.
I let's say hello to hollering James in Minneapolis, Minna
soul to Hello, Hollering James. I don't hear him snort.
Oh there he is, there is, Oh man, it's a
(16:13):
vintage call by hollering James. James, did you watch that
Monday Night game. Yeah, what are your thoughts on Aaron Rodgers?
Really interesting? How about that Dodger offense. I know it's
(16:34):
like it's.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
A pot of coffee brewing or something.
Speaker 6 (16:39):
Huston, we have a problem.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Just enjoyed James in his natural habitat. I think she
just did one of the raspberry things, did he.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
It's uh, I'm gonna say this is one of the
all time greats for him.
Speaker 7 (17:01):
Right here.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
This is don't get carried away. Don't get carried away.
It's solid, don't it's not.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
It's no, it's not like a little one here and there.
Speaker 8 (17:11):
It's like, oh, fluttering lips time, great story call.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
You're listening to our live covers. This is hollowing James.
I'm trying to do the reset James.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
He's not having it.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Nobody else has this. ESPN wishes they had this. They
don't have this. It's on Fox right now.
Speaker 9 (17:35):
The only thing that's missing is like a.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Yeah, oh man, what's what's you thinking of right now?
We don't want to know, right don't chicken fried chicken?
Speaker 4 (17:47):
Yeah, that was like a pig Viking super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
I'd be you talking about extreme dreaming, thinking of the
Vikings Super Bowl.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
Tammy.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Of course, it's so good. I don't want to end it.
It's Amazingnattan, I mean, hey, James, uh uh Hello, Hi, James,
back at Yeah, maybe he woke up there for a second. Hey, yeah, hey, James,
(18:23):
Tammy and Montana's on the other line there, James Hollan, James, No,
hold on.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
Let's see, it's like a hurricane. It's losing a little intensity.
But for a little while there, that was a cat five.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Down to a cat one or a cat too. Let's
say hello to Jed who fled, who had a golden
ticket and is already using it. That's the cats.
Speaker 7 (18:51):
Hello, Jed, I'm either using me.
Speaker 10 (18:54):
Just start calling me the alchemist or king matters, because
I've got I have to start using them because it
becomes ridiculous with how many golden tickets I got stacked up,
and it's pretty much unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
And they only last a month, so you can't have
that many.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
I've got.
Speaker 7 (19:11):
I've got left throwing tickets.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
Now.
Speaker 10 (19:12):
They're what I thought I did, so I probably need
to grabu. The others go, that's their minds.
Speaker 7 (19:16):
I can I can stretch off to alchemists I'm going
to do that.
Speaker 10 (19:20):
Uh Ben, I was thinking, like, I've got this solo
match up that dependable every week. It's called ben versus
the pinning it.
Speaker 7 (19:30):
So I've been thinking like I've been let's call these
bullpen matches were called the many versus the plenty because like,
there's so much to do. I realize now the pitch count,
timing and all these the pickoff move limitations are because
now there's an encouragement to have seventy five or eighty
bullpen relievers during the game. That's maximizing the time of
(19:53):
the game with commercial breaks. Now we don't have to
watch the guy sit there and scratch his clatch now
like we should be. If you're in America's pastime or set,
you know, you know eight nineteenth pickoff moves pointlessly. No,
I've got to watch this commercial for a car that
I don't need. I got great credit, you know. Then
(20:15):
you know, but uh, but why why I'm missing tobacco
steading I'm missing.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
So we're calling for baseball to bring back guys scratching
their crotch is what you would like?
Speaker 5 (20:29):
They don't do that.
Speaker 10 (20:30):
I like, I like my mom.
Speaker 11 (20:32):
I love my mom.
Speaker 10 (20:33):
Dude, or you get that.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Well, it's not as pronounced that like it used to be.
They would step out of the box and then with
both hands grab their you know, their twy and berries
right there on the field. They don't do that as much.
Speaker 7 (20:45):
Gets this time to do something different earlier. You know,
you don't want to be you don't want to be
a little fish at a small bond?
Speaker 5 (20:52):
Is this due to athletics supporter technology?
Speaker 11 (20:55):
Ben?
Speaker 5 (20:56):
It's like lighter.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
And uh, you know the cup for better now?
Speaker 5 (21:00):
Yeah, that's what I had like the back of the day.
Speaker 10 (21:02):
It was like a big hard piece of fact.
Speaker 7 (21:05):
I have no idea what your last thing is, dude?
Speaker 11 (21:07):
What the hell is going on?
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Montana? We learned that earlier.
Speaker 5 (21:13):
It's just more interesting than your call. Jet admit it.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Yeah, can we go back to I want to go
back to hollering James, your call kind of sucks. You know,
you're not a sporty guy. All right, I'm gonna hang
up on you. But thank it's not you, it's it's
your content. James. Are you there? James?
Speaker 5 (21:25):
That's there. We go.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Of all the radio shows on the earth for him
to call our show. How lucky are we that we
found this guy hollering. James and I met him, we're friends.
We had we had a meal together. I don't know
why it's so soothing listening to him.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
I wouldn't I would. I don't agree with that.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Really, I feel like I could fall asleep. Lucky.
Speaker 9 (21:49):
You guys consider yourself lucky because all you have to
deal with is what actually gets on the air.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Yeah, but he's sleeping, so he can't keep calling you
because he's asleep, So right now now you're fine.
Speaker 9 (22:01):
True, but his hands down the most annoying color since
I started working here twelve years ago.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
In his defense, he has no life. So yeah, all right,
I think let's say hello to George George. George George
George George is in Portland. Hello, George, I.
Speaker 11 (22:19):
Have proposal to make a change to the NBA draft.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
A thank god, think I was hoping.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
I actually told the rain in our production mean, I said,
can we get a guy to call up to change
the NBA draft? And here my dreams have come true?
Thank God. Do you have a big board? Also, do
you have a big board for the NBA draft?
Speaker 11 (22:38):
Well, hear what I'd do. I'd make every pick in
the first round subjectable to the NBA lottery. I would
give each team one pink punk ball, and I would
run the lottery backwards, such as the first pink Paul
Ball drafted would give you the thirtieth pick, and the
last Pink punk Ball would go to the first pick
(22:58):
to the last man standing. By separating out so that
no longer the records are involved and there is no
involvement in what your record is with where you pick,
that would completely eliminate tanking in the NBA.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
George, what inspired this phone called? George? How long you
been thinking about this?
Speaker 11 (23:23):
Well, the problem is I've been living with tanking for
the last three or four years. Here important and it sucks.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Yeah, the Trailblazers used to pride themselves on making the
playoffs and trying to be competitive, and now they pride
themselves on lottery balls. But this is going to be
one of those years, this upcoming year in the NBA,
even though they don't like to talk about it, because
it's the Cooper Flag draft out of Duke and that's
the next prodigy and he's going to be the number
(23:52):
one pick, and so you got to finish in the
bottom foard to have a chance to get the number
one pick. And so they're all going to.
Speaker 11 (23:59):
Be doing and there's going to be five to ten
teams hoping to get the worst record in the NBA
this year, and it's going to be miserable. So if
you make the changes that I proposed, no longer will
you have teams starting the NBA hoping to get to
the last record in the end.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
I agree, just give that, give the top. Whoever wins
a lot, whoever wins the championship, should get the number
one pick. I agree. All right, I gotta thank you, George.
I'm sorry about your Blazers man. All Right, is the
Ben Mallard Show. We will check back in in a
mome or two to see if James is still fast asleep.
Out by the way, Lamar Jackson is under fire. There
(24:37):
was a fight video. You might have seen it, a
viral fight video. In fact, the Baltimore police are investigating
a sucker punch, a scuffa Ravens fans sucker punch some
random Commanders fan.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
I heard he got fired from his job. I don't
know if that's true or not.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
But police are investigating. But Lamar Jackson being called out
because he apparently liked the video of the punch. But
I don't think we're really looking for Lamar Jackson to
be the voice of reason on anything. We just like
watching him play for you know what. I mean, he's
not the continent America.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
Do you have to be that to think that that's uh,
you know, not something we should like, you know, think
that's great.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Well, everyone's watching the video. I mean, Lamar more the
mart needs is a burner account. That's what he needs. Like, Hello,
everyone's everyone's yeah, everyone's watching what you're doing. I mean,
you think you'd learned that by this point.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mellor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
And we were rolling on coming up later on this hour,
Sight to Bite the Great sports radio Mystery. You don't forget.
The podcast will be up shortly after we get done.
We've been on all night long, slicing our way with
our machete through all of the jungle that is sports here,
all through the overnight, and all that as we work
through the late night ours. Fun fact, fun fact, fun fact, fun.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
Fun fact.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
So one of the selling points to Aaron Rodgers joining
the Jets was, Hey, this guy's gonna win close games,
game winning drives. Aaron Rodgers is gonna get it done.
So with Aaron Rodgers, the Jets have now had four
chances for Rodgers to lead a game winning drive trailing
by less than seven with under four minutes ago. The
(26:23):
last three weeks. The Jets are oh for four and
Rogers ended this game with a interception. He's also had
to turnover on downs, missed field goal, and another game
finished on an interception. So Aaron Rodgers. Now, some have
said when he was with the Packers he wasn't clutch,
(26:44):
that they didn't they didn't have a lot of magical
moments with Rogers. But this is absurd. Oh for four
in game winning drive situations. Now, why is he calling back?
We already put him on Jet who fled? This is
I'm not I'm gonna put you on. You should not
be calling back, Jed with a golden ticket. Stop stop.
Speaker 7 (27:04):
Let me thank you as today is my birthday, Ben,

Speaker 7 (27:20):
While I was on hold. I do it at a boredom.
I was thinking I was turning thirty eight. I was
born ninetay seven. You just taking a year back of
my life, dude, I've turned thirty seven, thirty eight.
Speaker 10 (27:30):
D yeah, yeah, I'm giving you great for that.
Speaker 7 (27:33):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
All right, now you hang up on yourself. Please, let's
say hello to Slug, who's in Vegas. Hello Slug, what's up?
Speaker 6 (27:42):
Buddy?
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Yeah? Buddy?
Speaker 6 (27:45):
He Uh you want to hang up on Sheddon fled
is one of your great callers, and you keep putting
on the absolute worst caller ever in hollering James about
preface if I said I love the show or never
hang up, but when he comes on, I think twice
about doing that.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Hold on a sex, Hold on, Hold on, Slug, hold on,
hold on, hold on, James. Slug says, you're the worst
caller on the air. Your thoughts all right? Uh, surprise
you want to talk to him, Slug, I'll put you
(28:23):
on with him.
Speaker 6 (28:23):
Hold on all right, holler.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Holler, James. You're on the air with Slug in Vegas.
Say hello, James.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
You suck.
Speaker 6 (28:39):
You're a fraud. You're not funny. Hang up, no man
having James. My god, this is better than he normally is.
I'll get him that.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Hey, hey, James, Slug thinks you're bad for the show. James,
what you.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Know about the show?
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Well said o Man. All right, well he's not that
he's awake. We don't need to put him on here.
We love you, buddy, Thank you. Slug. Slug hosted the
Mallard meeting that we did in Vegas, and he was
(29:26):
the put it all together of a special menu. Was awesome. Vegas, Baby, Vegas.
Let's go back. I think we might have to make
that a regular occurrence. If Slug can pull it off there,
maybe we'll go somewhere else in Vegas. But it was
a lot of fun. So great to do it next year.
Our friend, good old Slug, so I got this weird
(29:51):
emails like, hey, I'm very concerned about the Stingray. Remember
the Tampa Bay Rays have a stated like a tank
in the outfield with this I think it was it
was it a bind own player in the outfit. I
remember the maybe it was behind a player the tank
with like an actual like like stingray and a bunch
of recently yeah, and the ballpark. Well, thanks for watching
the rays, Eddie.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
Why are you God's name? When I watched the rais.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
So this guy the guy sends me an email. I'm
worried nobody said anything about the tank because the roof
caved in. Yes, I did see that, but I don't
think that would hurt the stingray right because it's used
to water, so I don't know that would be a problem.
But anyway, I did find something that I did not
expect to find. But uh, the stingray was in the
(30:34):
trap during Milton the hurricane, but has now been relocated
to an aquarium in Florida, so the stingray is okay.
In fact, there's seven cow Nos rays. They all survived
the hurricane that shredded the roof of the ballpark there,
and they're all doing pretty well. That's great news. They're
(30:56):
doing pretty well.
Speaker 5 (30:57):
I will sleep better now knowing that news. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (31:00):
Maybe they shouldn't make the roof out of tissue paper.
It's a lot cheaper though, than like a real real roof.
You know, it's like the Metrodome was like that. This
is like it, but they actually did need a new roof.
How set though, are.
Speaker 5 (31:14):
The the city leaders.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Aren't they getting a new ballpark in Saint Petersburg there?
And now they have to spend money to put together
this ballpark they're going to destroy anyway, they have to
put the roof back on. Yeah, nobody goes to those
games anyway. Who cares? Ah, it does get kind of
really sultry and hot there. Everyone likes a good skylight, Ben, Yeah,
but it gets real humid and nasty, and you know
(31:38):
who wants to deal with that nonsense?
Speaker 5 (31:39):
Nobody's going.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
I mean there's a few hardy people. Remember Rich Horrera
that used to work here, old radio. He loved the
Rays and he used to do the Rays pregame show.
That's why he loved him.
Speaker 5 (31:50):
He works radio brun He was paid to love them,
but they paid me. I'd love him too.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Rich is back in Tucson. I haven't heard from Rich
in a while. We were good radio friends, but we're
work friends. I haven't talked to Rich in a while.
Hope he's doing all right. Anyway, It is the Ben
Mallor Show and we are moments away from site the bite.
Speaker 5 (32:08):
Now.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
I didn't want to mention this. Bill Belichick had a
hilarious story. I love the payback, Belichick admitted last night.
There a couple things. Belichick said. He took a shot
of the Jets on that Dopey Manning cast. Another thing
that I saw. I didn't watch it, but I saw
the clip. Belichick told the story about how he got
back at Art Modell. Art Modell, the owner of the
(32:29):
Cleveland Browns, let Belichick go. The team moved to Baltimore,
and he cost Art Modell. Belichick cost Art Modell one dollars.
How did he do that? There was this defensive play
he probably don't know who this is unless you're old,
named Peter Bolwaer, and Belichick named him to the Pro Bowl,
(32:51):
knowing that he had an incentive clause in his contract
that would have had given him an extra million dollars
that the Browns owner had to pay out. And so
Belichick named him to the Pro Bowl. And it was
like a borderline thing that year, and it cost Art
model an extra million dollars. So nice, nice story. Payback
(33:13):
is a dish serve best in a Pro Bowl roster appearance.

We got a winner.
Hello and welcome. It's our numbber four, our four knocking
on the door, and a happy Tuesday to you. It's
the fifteenth day of October and we go where the
news of the day takes us. And on this Tuesday
we start out in the NFL, Eagle coach Nick Sirianni
(00:23):
has been accused of using his children as shields during
a news conference. Where do you stand on this one?
Also Sirianni apologizing for getting into it with Philly fans
late in the game with Cleveland. While Tua Tonguabai Looa
has planned his return to the Dolphins during Week eight.
Is this ludicrous or is it logical? We'll discuss that.
(00:46):
And wide receiver Cede Lamb says the Cowboys will be
fine the bye week or is going to help the team.
What are your thoughts on the confidence that Cedee Lamb
has in the twenty twenty four Cowboys who are owing
three in Jerry's world. We'll talk about that and much
more right now. Again, have a wonderful Tuesday here it
(01:06):
is our number four living in Birdland. Will come in
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malors Show.
We are in the air everywhere, squirming as we pace
(01:29):
up and down and all around coast, the coast, border,
the border and beyond. On the mast and supendously powerful
microphones of FSR. We're open all night, emm nating live
from the smell, the smell of that oily rag as
(01:49):
we are broadcasting live from the tyraq dot com studios
tyraq dot com. We'll help you get there in unmatched selection,
fast free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten
thousand recommended installers tyre rack dot com the way tire
buying should be. I know, rick O the Laker Lapdog,
(02:11):
impressed by that number ten thousand, says the Clippers will
win ten thousand games in that new arena where they
played an exhibition game last night. But our lead this
hour is from that would be Philadelphia. Why not thee
bounce around the NFL. Now, we did have a Monday
night game that was close. Aaron Rodgers had the ball
(02:31):
down by a field goal, plenty of time left, plenty
of timeouts, and did the thing you can't do it
at the time, you can't do it, interception game ceiling interception.
Buffalo wins. They didn't play all that well the Bills,
but they do win the game last night, so the
Bills are in first place in the AFC East. But
we'll go to Philadelphia. The soap opera, that's what it's
all about. And our first stop on the round robin
(02:54):
journey in Philly involves the fallout from the Eagles block
a performance. It was blah with a game against the
creepy quarterback Deshaun Watson and a big favorite, big favorite
at home against the morbid Brownies and unable to pull
away get an easy win despite having many of their
(03:18):
star players back in the lineup. It did not work out. Now,
as we talked about in a previous episode of the show,
head coach Nick Sirianni started barking at a gaggle of
Philadelphia Eagle fans. He was doing a poor man's Hulk
Hogan impersonation. You know, you put your index finger to
(03:39):
the right ear there and you're like, oh, you can't
hear you. I can't hear you. Yeah, it's like that.
So if you didn't see this, and we talked about
it a little bit, there's some more information that it
has come out on Nick Sirianni and his tenuous job
status in Philadelphia. We've learned that Sirianni used his is
(04:00):
children as human shields facing the media following the Eagles victory.
And we'll play somebody here in a second, but let's
discuss the question for the esteem panel. Eagles coach Nick
Siriani accused of using his kids as a shields during
(04:21):
this news conference. Where do you stand on that one?
So I've got mind hack, the animals and naked gun
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make fresh pastrami sandwiches. Help you
enjoy that for breakfast, the nice pastrami sandwich. So to
(04:42):
lead off here, Nick Siriani is good for what I do.
If you're in the talk radio business, Nick Sirianni's good
because he's bad at what he does and he thinks
he's God's gift the coach, right, and so he's a firebrand.
He gets into it. He has no self control, and
we know he's unborrowed time. This guy's not going to
(05:03):
coach long in Philadelphia. And a day after the side show,
we understand that Sirianni did apologize. In fact, I think
we have the audio on that. Do we have the
audiore's Nick Sirianni a day later saying, well, you know, well,
let's let him.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Talk what I was really doing. I was trying to
bring energy yesterday, energy enthusiasm yesterday. Yeah, and I'm sorry
and disappointed on how my energy was directed at the
end of the game. And you know, my energy should
be all in on coaching, motivating right and celebrating with
our guys.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Yeah, so he was upset with how his energy was directed.
You know what that sounded like to me? That sounded
like the knock on the door. Hey, we'd like to
have a talk. And it was somebody in ownership. It's like, hey, Nick,
this is this is not a good look. We don't
like this here. And he got the tap on the
shoulder and so he issued an apology because he was
(06:00):
singing a much different song the day before and a
discombobulated mess. Nick Sirianni the coach of the Eagles, and
he's an insecture loose cannon, which is a bad combination.
He's easily provoked. We all know someone in life who's
(06:21):
like this. Maybe you don't know them now, but back
when you were in school or back in your younger days,
somebody who's easily set off a volcano waiting to explode
molten hot lava, and he's got a legendarily short fuse,
Nick Siriani, And now he's apologized. But not only did
he jaw with the paying customers, the Eagle fans on Sunday.
(06:46):
But that's just his latest in a long series of
outstanding moments good for sports talk radio. You might remember
when the Eagles played the Colts, Nick Sirianni thought he
got revenge because the Colts had gotten rid of his mentor,
Frank Wright, and so he started screaming at Indianapolis fans
(07:10):
during that game in Kansas City. A clip that is
still viral to this day and still he gets played
over and over and over on social media is in
Kansas City when he gloated to Chiefs fans as he
strutted through the bowels of Arrowhead Stadium after a win
(07:31):
on Monday night and was just screaming and hooting and
hollering and all that. And the legend is that he
needs Dom, the security guy, the chief security officer, Dom Desandro,
to keep him online, in line on the sidelines. They're
keep him focused. So it's not surprising that he's accused
(07:53):
now after the game on Sunday, using his kids as
a force field, if you will, so the media could
not act ask him tough questions. Right, A classical mind
hack that many athletes have done, and they use the
kid the KC movement, right, they manipulate the mind. We
call it the KC the kid card from the bottom
(08:15):
of the deck, play the kid card. A lot of
basketball players will do that. They'll go out there and
miss the game winning shot or have a terrible game,
and they'll have their child as a prop on their
lap because you know, a toddler really wants to be
on camera. But it's a good way to protect the
player from any any real criticism. It's a defense mechanism,
and use your kids. And so Nick Sirianni using these kids,
(08:38):
and god forbid you ever point out how bad that looks, because, oh,
you don't like children? What's wrong with you? Oh? I
can't believe that the low information fan embraces that. They're like, oh,
that's great father of the year for forgetting the fact
that they're putting their kids in between them and their job.
You're not supposed to talk about that part out loud.
(08:59):
All right. Now we head to Miami, where it's not official,
official official, but it's almost official official official. We're gonna
get out in front on the story. Dolphins coach Mike
McDaniel revealing on Monday that he expects quarterback Tua tonguebai
Loa to return from concussion protocol before before the end
(09:22):
of this season. Now, Tua is not eligible to come
back this week. He's on injured reserve, but he is
planning the return to the Dolphins. The word that we're
hearing is week number eight. That is the plan that
tool will be back with the Dolphins in week number eight.
So is this ludicrous or logical? So obviously depends on
(09:47):
what side of the aisle you're on. I would say
it is like a tune from the animals back in
the day, right, Hummin' bars. It's my life and I'll
do what I want. It's my mind and I'll think
what I want. And so he's like, hey, I want
to play, and people are trying to talk him out
of playing, and he wants to play, and if this
(10:08):
is his life and if something were to happen, that's
on him. As long as somebody says it's your decision
to make you have all your faculties and you want
to play, and good luck, and oh, by the way,
sign this waiver and this waiver and this waiver and
this waiver so we have no liability and then it
gets tied up in the court system for years to come.
(10:29):
But we know long term, even if two it comes
back and plays, and let's say he stays healthy for
the rest of the year, this is going to continue
to haunt the Dolphins because it's it's a house of
cards situation, meaning that even if Tua makes it through
five or six games, you know at any given moment,
(10:50):
it's going to go all to hell, and it's a
ticking time bomb. Tick tick tick tick tick tick and
eventually it will go come boom and then you're stuck
with a parade of stiffs who are the Dolphins backup quarterbacks. Now,
last thing, we go to Dallas where wide receiver Ceedee
Lamb wants you to know everything is fine. Cowboys blow,
(11:12):
but everything is just fine in cowboy Land. He said
that the bye week will help the Cowboys and everything's
going to be okay. So what are your thoughts on that.
This is known as the naked gun defense by Ceedee
Lamb or go, hey, move on, nothing to see here,
(11:33):
and please disperse, Please disperse. And I totally understand why
Ceedee Lamb would say that, because in his world everything
is fine. It doesn't matter whether the Cowboys win. Winning
doesn't get you paid. Winning playoff games doesn't matter to
Jerry Jones, it's all about making sure that there's drama
and people are talking about the Dallas Cowboys and all that,
(11:56):
and so CD is like, well, yeah, you can deny
your lying eye and all that and downplay the situation
that everything's going to be okay. And why not he
got a pile of gold bouyon. In fact, everyone other
than Michael Parsons has gotten a pile of gold bouleon
(12:16):
rewarded for failure. It's true, is ceed Lamb? We got
one hundred million dollars guaranteed. It's never been to an
NFC championship game and not played well in most playoff opportunities.
How about Dak Prescott one hundred and twenty nine million
more guaranteed? God forbid you go without Dak Prescott. I mean,
what would happen to the Cowboys without Dak Prescott? They
(12:38):
might actually win a playoff game more than once yeah.
So if you're a CD Lamb, I understand the psychology
behind his statement is, Hey, everything's fine. Don't worry. We
all got paid. We don't have to sing for our supper.
We've already got our supper. Our meals are taken care of.
We got no show jobs. Show up, we'll look good
(13:00):
in the uniform, we'll represent the franchise. And we lose,
we lose, but hey, we all got paid. That's what
it's all about. And you don't be fans that invest
your time and are worried about this. You're the losers.
We're not worried. I want to point out ceedee Lamb
stats across the board, down down, down, down down doing
a limbo. How low can you go? How low can
(13:23):
you go? It is the Ben Malor Show. As we
press on and on, and we'll circle back to the
baseball later on. The Mets and Dodgers tied one one,
best of five. Now heads back to New York. That'll
be tomorrow, and the Yankees pobble the team formerly known
as the Cleveland Indians in Game one and they will
(13:44):
be back at it later today in the American League
Championship Series. So that's the story. In baseball. Take more,
more of a wider angle. Look at that straight ahead
an NFL star being called out one of the biggest
names in pro football for a social media faux Paul.
(14:04):
What did the star do? And is it really that
big a deal. We'll get to that and we will
do it next.

pronounced biby bibby will be a them out against a
Garrett Cole and the Yankees a big favorite, the overnight money,
(15:07):
the wise guys of the Sharps all over the Yankees
a little less, but still the majority in favor of
the public on the Yankees. And then the Dodgers and Mets.
They play tomorrow little Wednesday Night activity in New York
and Walker Buehler Bueler Buehler versus Luis Sevarino for the Mets.
(15:28):
Mets a favorite at minus one to oh nine, so
a slight slight favorite there. And the money money money,
There is a difference here on this one. The public
is betting on the Dodgers. The professionals are betting on
the Mets. Well, you have a gambling problem only if
(15:50):
you lose. If you win, it's not a problem. If
you lose, it's a problem. That's that's the problem, all right.
I let's say hello to hollering James in Minneapolis, Minna
soul to Hello, Hollering James. I don't hear him snort.
Oh there he is, there is, Oh man, it's a
(16:13):

Monday Night game. Yeah, what are your thoughts on Aaron Rodgers?
Really interesting? How about that Dodger offense. I know it's
(16:34):
like it's.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
A pot of coffee brewing or something.
Speaker 6 (16:39):
Huston, we have a problem.

all time greats for him.

This is don't get carried away. Don't get carried away.
It's solid, don't it's not.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
It's no, it's not like a little one here and there.
Speaker 8 (17:11):
It's like, oh, fluttering lips time, great story call.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
You're listening to our live covers. This is hollowing James.
I'm trying to do the reset James.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
He's not having it.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Nobody else has this. ESPN wishes they had this. They
don't have this. It's on Fox right now.
Speaker 9 (17:35):
The only thing that's missing is like a.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Yeah, oh man, what's what's you thinking of right now?
We don't want to know, right don't chicken fried chicken?
Speaker 4 (17:47):
Yeah, that was like a pig Viking super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
I'd be you talking about extreme dreaming, thinking of the
Vikings Super Bowl.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
Tammy.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Of course, it's so good. I don't want to end it.
It's Amazingnattan, I mean, hey, James, uh uh Hello, Hi, James,
back at Yeah, maybe he woke up there for a second. Hey, yeah, hey, James,
(18:23):
Tammy and Montana's on the other line there, James Hollan, James, No,
hold on.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
Let's see, it's like a hurricane. It's losing a little intensity.
But for a little while there, that was a cat five.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Down to a cat one or a cat too. Let's
say hello to Jed who fled, who had a golden
ticket and is already using it. That's the cats.
Speaker 7 (18:51):
Hello, Jed, I'm either using me.
Speaker 10 (18:54):
Just start calling me the alchemist or king matters, because
I've got I have to start using them because it
becomes ridiculous with how many golden tickets I got stacked up,
and it's pretty much unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
And they only last a month, so you can't have
that many.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
I've got.
Speaker 7 (19:11):
I've got left throwing tickets.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
Now.
Speaker 10 (19:12):
They're what I thought I did, so I probably need
to grabu. The others go, that's their minds.
Speaker 7 (19:16):
I can I can stretch off to alchemists I'm going
to do that.
Speaker 10 (19:20):
Uh Ben, I was thinking, like, I've got this solo
match up that dependable every week. It's called ben versus
the pinning it.
Speaker 7 (19:30):
So I've been thinking like I've been let's call these
bullpen matches were called the many versus the plenty because like,
there's so much to do. I realize now the pitch count,
timing and all these the pickoff move limitations are because
now there's an encouragement to have seventy five or eighty
bullpen relievers during the game. That's maximizing the time of
(19:53):
the game with commercial breaks. Now we don't have to
watch the guy sit there and scratch his clatch now
like we should be. If you're in America's pastime or set,
you know, you know eight nineteenth pickoff moves pointlessly. No,
I've got to watch this commercial for a car that
I don't need. I got great credit, you know. Then
(20:15):
you know, but uh, but why why I'm missing tobacco
steading I'm missing.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
So we're calling for baseball to bring back guys scratching
their crotch is what you would like?
Speaker 5 (20:29):
They don't do that.
Speaker 10 (20:30):
I like, I like my mom.
Speaker 11 (20:32):
I love my mom.
Speaker 10 (20:33):
Dude, or you get that.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Well, it's not as pronounced that like it used to be.
They would step out of the box and then with
both hands grab their you know, their twy and berries
right there on the field. They don't do that as much.
Speaker 7 (20:45):
Gets this time to do something different earlier. You know,
you don't want to be you don't want to be
a little fish at a small bond?
Speaker 5 (20:52):
Is this due to athletics supporter technology?
Speaker 11 (20:55):
Ben?
Speaker 5 (20:56):
It's like lighter.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
And uh, you know the cup for better now?
Speaker 5 (21:00):
Yeah, that's what I had like the back of the day.
Speaker 10 (21:02):
It was like a big hard piece of fact.
Speaker 7 (21:05):
I have no idea what your last thing is, dude?
Speaker 11 (21:07):
What the hell is going on?
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Montana? We learned that earlier.
Speaker 5 (21:13):
It's just more interesting than your call. Jet admit it.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Yeah, can we go back to I want to go
back to hollering James, your call kind of sucks. You know,
you're not a sporty guy. All right, I'm gonna hang
up on you. But thank it's not you, it's it's
your content. James. Are you there? James?
Speaker 5 (21:25):
That's there. We go.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Of all the radio shows on the earth for him
to call our show. How lucky are we that we
found this guy hollering. James and I met him, we're friends.
We had we had a meal together. I don't know
why it's so soothing listening to him.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
I wouldn't I would. I don't agree with that.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Really, I feel like I could fall asleep. Lucky.
Speaker 9 (21:49):
You guys consider yourself lucky because all you have to
deal with is what actually gets on the air.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Yeah, but he's sleeping, so he can't keep calling you
because he's asleep, So right now now you're fine.
Speaker 9 (22:01):
True, but his hands down the most annoying color since
I started working here twelve years ago.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
In his defense, he has no life. So yeah, all right,
I think let's say hello to George George. George George
George George is in Portland. Hello, George, I.
Speaker 11 (22:19):
Have proposal to make a change to the NBA draft.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
A thank god, think I was hoping.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
I actually told the rain in our production mean, I said,
can we get a guy to call up to change
the NBA draft? And here my dreams have come true?
Thank God. Do you have a big board? Also, do
you have a big board for the NBA draft?
Speaker 11 (22:38):
Well, hear what I'd do. I'd make every pick in
the first round subjectable to the NBA lottery. I would
give each team one pink punk ball, and I would
run the lottery backwards, such as the first pink Paul
Ball drafted would give you the thirtieth pick, and the
last Pink punk Ball would go to the first pick
(22:58):
to the last man standing. By separating out so that
no longer the records are involved and there is no
involvement in what your record is with where you pick,
that would completely eliminate tanking in the NBA.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
George, what inspired this phone called? George? How long you
been thinking about this?
Speaker 11 (23:23):
Well, the problem is I've been living with tanking for
the last three or four years. Here important and it sucks.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Yeah, the Trailblazers used to pride themselves on making the
playoffs and trying to be competitive, and now they pride
themselves on lottery balls. But this is going to be
one of those years, this upcoming year in the NBA,
even though they don't like to talk about it, because
it's the Cooper Flag draft out of Duke and that's
the next prodigy and he's going to be the number
(23:52):
one pick, and so you got to finish in the
bottom foard to have a chance to get the number
one pick. And so they're all going to.
Speaker 11 (23:59):
Be doing and there's going to be five to ten
teams hoping to get the worst record in the NBA
this year, and it's going to be miserable. So if
you make the changes that I proposed, no longer will
you have teams starting the NBA hoping to get to
the last record in the end.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
I agree, just give that, give the top. Whoever wins
a lot, whoever wins the championship, should get the number
one pick. I agree. All right, I gotta thank you, George.
I'm sorry about your Blazers man. All Right, is the
Ben Mallard Show. We will check back in in a
mome or two to see if James is still fast asleep.
Out by the way, Lamar Jackson is under fire. There
(24:37):
was a fight video. You might have seen it, a
viral fight video. In fact, the Baltimore police are investigating
a sucker punch, a scuffa Ravens fans sucker punch some
random Commanders fan.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
I heard he got fired from his job. I don't
know if that's true or not.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
But police are investigating. But Lamar Jackson being called out
because he apparently liked the video of the punch. But
I don't think we're really looking for Lamar Jackson to
be the voice of reason on anything. We just like
watching him play for you know what. I mean, he's
not the continent America.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
Do you have to be that to think that that's uh,
you know, not something we should like, you know, think
that's great.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Well, everyone's watching the video. I mean, Lamar more the
mart needs is a burner account. That's what he needs. Like, Hello,
everyone's everyone's yeah, everyone's watching what you're doing. I mean,
you think you'd learned that by this point.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mellor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
And we were rolling on coming up later on this hour,
Sight to Bite the Great sports radio Mystery. You don't forget.
The podcast will be up shortly after we get done.
We've been on all night long, slicing our way with
our machete through all of the jungle that is sports here,
all through the overnight, and all that as we work
through the late night ours. Fun fact, fun fact, fun fact, fun.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
Fun fact.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
So one of the selling points to Aaron Rodgers joining
the Jets was, Hey, this guy's gonna win close games,
game winning drives. Aaron Rodgers is gonna get it done.
So with Aaron Rodgers, the Jets have now had four
chances for Rodgers to lead a game winning drive trailing
by less than seven with under four minutes ago. The
(26:23):
last three weeks. The Jets are oh for four and
Rogers ended this game with a interception. He's also had
to turnover on downs, missed field goal, and another game
finished on an interception. So Aaron Rodgers. Now, some have
said when he was with the Packers he wasn't clutch,
(26:44):
that they didn't they didn't have a lot of magical
moments with Rogers. But this is absurd. Oh for four
in game winning drive situations. Now, why is he calling back?
We already put him on Jet who fled? This is
I'm not I'm gonna put you on. You should not
be calling back, Jed with a golden ticket. Stop stop.
Speaker 7 (27:04):
Let me thank you as today is my birthday, Ben,
I wanted to thank you for the gifts that it
is participating in your show, Thank you listeners for.
Speaker 10 (27:11):

Speaker 5 (27:18):

Speaker 1 (27:18):

Speaker 7 (27:20):
While I was on hold. I do it at a boredom.
I was thinking I was turning thirty eight. I was
born ninetay seven. You just taking a year back of
my life, dude, I've turned thirty seven, thirty eight.
Speaker 10 (27:30):
D yeah, yeah, I'm giving you great for that.
Speaker 7 (27:33):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
All right, now you hang up on yourself. Please, let's
say hello to Slug, who's in Vegas. Hello Slug, what's up?
Speaker 6 (27:42):
Buddy?
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Yeah? Buddy?
Speaker 6 (27:45):
He Uh you want to hang up on Sheddon fled
is one of your great callers, and you keep putting
on the absolute worst caller ever in hollering James about
preface if I said I love the show or never
hang up, but when he comes on, I think twice
about doing that.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Hold on a sex, Hold on, Hold on, Slug, hold on,
hold on, hold on, James. Slug says, you're the worst
caller on the air. Your thoughts all right? Uh, surprise
you want to talk to him, Slug, I'll put you
(28:23):
on with him.
Speaker 6 (28:23):
Hold on all right, holler.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Holler, James. You're on the air with Slug in Vegas.
Say hello, James.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
You suck.
Speaker 6 (28:39):
You're a fraud. You're not funny. Hang up, no man
having James. My god, this is better than he normally is.
I'll get him that.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Hey, hey, James, Slug thinks you're bad for the show. James,
what you.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Know about the show?
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Well said o Man. All right, well he's not that
he's awake. We don't need to put him on here.
We love you, buddy, Thank you. Slug. Slug hosted the
Mallard meeting that we did in Vegas, and he was
(29:26):
the put it all together of a special menu. Was awesome. Vegas, Baby, Vegas.
Let's go back. I think we might have to make
that a regular occurrence. If Slug can pull it off there,
maybe we'll go somewhere else in Vegas. But it was
a lot of fun. So great to do it next year.
Our friend, good old Slug, so I got this weird
(29:51):
emails like, hey, I'm very concerned about the Stingray. Remember
the Tampa Bay Rays have a stated like a tank
in the outfield with this I think it was it
was it a bind own player in the outfit. I
remember the maybe it was behind a player the tank
with like an actual like like stingray and a bunch
of recently yeah, and the ballpark. Well, thanks for watching
the rays, Eddie.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
Why are you God's name? When I watched the rais.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
So this guy the guy sends me an email. I'm
worried nobody said anything about the tank because the roof
caved in. Yes, I did see that, but I don't
think that would hurt the stingray right because it's used
to water, so I don't know that would be a problem.
But anyway, I did find something that I did not
expect to find. But uh, the stingray was in the
(30:34):
trap during Milton the hurricane, but has now been relocated
to an aquarium in Florida, so the stingray is okay.
In fact, there's seven cow Nos rays. They all survived
the hurricane that shredded the roof of the ballpark there,
and they're all doing pretty well. That's great news. They're
(30:56):
doing pretty well.
Speaker 5 (30:57):
I will sleep better now knowing that news. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (31:00):
Maybe they shouldn't make the roof out of tissue paper.
It's a lot cheaper though, than like a real real roof.
You know, it's like the Metrodome was like that. This
is like it, but they actually did need a new roof.
How set though, are.
Speaker 5 (31:14):
The the city leaders.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Aren't they getting a new ballpark in Saint Petersburg there?
And now they have to spend money to put together
this ballpark they're going to destroy anyway, they have to
put the roof back on. Yeah, nobody goes to those
games anyway. Who cares? Ah, it does get kind of
really sultry and hot there. Everyone likes a good skylight, Ben, Yeah,
but it gets real humid and nasty, and you know
(31:38):
who wants to deal with that nonsense?
Speaker 5 (31:39):
Nobody's going.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
I mean there's a few hardy people. Remember Rich Horrera
that used to work here, old radio. He loved the
Rays and he used to do the Rays pregame show.
That's why he loved him.
Speaker 5 (31:50):
He works radio brun He was paid to love them,
but they paid me. I'd love him too.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Rich is back in Tucson. I haven't heard from Rich
in a while. We were good radio friends, but we're
work friends. I haven't talked to Rich in a while.
Hope he's doing all right. Anyway, It is the Ben
Mallor Show and we are moments away from site the bite.
Speaker 5 (32:08):
Now.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
I didn't want to mention this. Bill Belichick had a
hilarious story. I love the payback, Belichick admitted last night.
There a couple things. Belichick said. He took a shot
of the Jets on that Dopey Manning cast. Another thing
that I saw. I didn't watch it, but I saw
the clip. Belichick told the story about how he got
back at Art Modell. Art Modell, the owner of the
(32:29):
Cleveland Browns, let Belichick go. The team moved to Baltimore,
and he cost Art Modell. Belichick cost Art Modell one dollars.
How did he do that? There was this defensive play
he probably don't know who this is unless you're old,
named Peter Bolwaer, and Belichick named him to the Pro Bowl,
(32:51):
knowing that he had an incentive clause in his contract
that would have had given him an extra million dollars
that the Browns owner had to pay out. And so
Belichick named him to the Pro Bowl. And it was
like a borderline thing that year, and it cost Art
model an extra million dollars. So nice, nice story. Payback
(33:13):
is a dish serve best in a Pro Bowl roster appearance.
