All we needs five minutes. I'd like you to listen

from you, me and Danny g But on this podcast
at hour four, what message is the NFL sending with
a very light punishment to the Falcons over Kirk Cousins tampering.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
Also, Tom Brady is worried.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
About being too critical of NFL players on the Fox
broadcast booth.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
What does that even mean?

Speaker 2 (00:33):
And how do you evaluate Patriot fans savagely booing Patrick
Mahomes during Tom Brady's Patriots Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
They had a tribute video. We'll go there as well.
It's all coming your way right now here it is.
Have a wonderful weekend. Remember Fifth Hour podcast all weekend here,
it is our number four. It definitely is not at tamperproof.

(01:02):
It is not tampaproof. Well come in the beginning of
another hour of the Ben Malors Show, we are in

vast and ludicrously powerful microphones of fsr.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
Be or leave this hour.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
Not not from Trevor Lawrence getting two hundred million dollars
guaranteed to be a mid level quarterback in Jacksonville. No,
we did do a monologue about that earlier. The podcast
will be up shortly after we get done. It is
not about the Boston Celtics, who are on the cusp
of winning a championship tonight in Dallas.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
No, but we will go to the NFL.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
The NFL has rule that the Atlanta football team had
their hand in the cookie jar. Now, if you didn't
hear the details on this. Maybe you missed it. The
news came out. The Falcons, we learned, have been sanctioned.
Oh no, you've been sanctioned by Big Pigskin the NFL

(02:47):
for tampering Tampa, Tampa, Tampa with not only Kirk Cousins,
but also Darnell Mooney.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
We know who he is.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
He played for the Bears, and someone named Charlie Warner,
the tight end from the forty nine ers. Now, the
Eagles were cleared of any wrong do Remember there was
an investigation in them as well, and they were futzing
around with Sequon Barkley.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
They claimed no funny business with the Eagles.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
But Atlanta is going to have to give up their
fifth round pick in the twenty twenty five NFL draft,
horror of horse and a two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars fine.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
So the price of lumber is.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Going up at home depot and the GM Terry Fontineau
also was dinged fifty thousand dollars for violating the anti
tampering policy, which means he's going to get a one
hundred thousand dollars bonus come Thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
So let's talk about all this. The question what message is.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
The NFL sending with the punishment in the Falcons, in
the Headliners Kirk Cousins tampering case.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
So I've got the.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
Whistle, kiss and Goliath, and we will combine all of
these things together and we are going to make a wonderful,
wonderful pie, is what we're going to make now to
kick off the Falcons. They have learned a thing or

(04:15):
two about tampering, because apparently they've been.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
Doing a lot of it. Right, They've done a lot
of it.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
And as far as the lesson learned, Roger Goodell is
working as the sorcerers apprentice here. He's unable to contain
or control the situation. Now, there are some people that
work for Big Football that are attempting the sugarcoat things,
saying that this was just a clerical matter and it
was about travel itineraries, and there's nothing to see here.

(04:43):
Move along. And there are a group of people, we
call them low information dummies among the fans who are
swallowing it home. Of course, remember part of human nature
is people tend to believe what they are told, even
when it is a lie, right when it is a lie.
And to that, I say, phooie, that's what I say,

(05:04):
don't be a mama, Luke. Do not be a mama Luke.
Cousins incriminated himself when he mentioned during the news conference
when he was welcomed to Atlanta that he spoke with
the team medical personnel while driving from Minnesota with his
family to sign a contract.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
That's a no no, but it's likely the tip of
the spear either way. The NFL. They're blowing into the whistle.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
It's a dog whistle, it's a sign, the green flag
is a and off to the race as we go. Tampa, Tampa, Tampa, Tampa,
Away boys. Now, imitation is the highest form of flatter.
I heard that somewhere along the way. But we have
not seen a lack of justice like this since a

(05:53):
guy who I would assume this person is advising Roger
Goodell on how to issue punishment.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
Rob and fraud.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
The Commissioner of Baseball the twenty seventeen as one one thousand, two,
one thousand holes the Astros cheated in the world, says,
and what did Rob Manford do?

Speaker 1 (06:13):
Do you remember? I remember what he did.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
I'll refresh your memory. Maybe your memory is not that good.
So Rob Manford punished the team in Houston by not
fighting or suspending a single player who was part of
the espionage scandal who banged on trash cans like Oscar
the Grouch and used whistles and buzzers, didn't punish any

(06:35):
of them, and then had goons protect the hooligans because
fans were saying mean things about them.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Oh, so, what should have happened in this NFL story?
I'm glad you asked.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
So this is not that hard. You have to change
and tweak some of the rules and some of the
bylaws in the NFL. But what should happen is if
you tamper from a player who is a free agent,
what you should do is the team that had the player,
even if they don't want the player back, I don't care.

(07:12):
They get draft pick compensated. They get a bonus draft
pick like the Vikings. If you lose a pick, Atlanta
loses a pick and it just vanishes into thin air.
But it should go to the bike and for that matter,
those Chicago Bears and the forty nine Ers, who it
also was involved in some tampering against them, and they're players,

(07:32):
they should also get a lower pick hand delivered on
a room service cart from the Dirty Birds all right. Now, Furthermore,
we pivot away to Bradyville Tom Brady. I'm contractually obligated
as the esteem panel of Judge's Nose to talk about
Tom Brady early and often. So Tom Brady is worried

(07:53):
about being quote too critical of NFL players in the
broadcast booth. He's about to begin his career at Fox.
It would appear unless he backs out at the last minute.
So what does this mean? What does it mean? Tom
Brady's worried about being too critical of NFL players. So
Brady is talking about the broadcasting like horse manure, right,

(08:17):
horse manure. He's all over the place. Now, we believe
that when you have a job like Brady's going to get,
you need to follow the Kiss method. Keep it simple, stupid.
You do your leg work, you do your preparation, your
due diligence, you prepare. But ultimately, when it comes down
to it, on game day, outside of the open on

(08:39):
camera for three minutes, outside of that, it's not even
really three minutes, you're like a nine to one one operator,
or you're like to read and react offense. You read
and react. You see what happened, you react to it.
You give a cliche, and you move on to the
next play. Most importantly, and this is the thing, right,
Brady sounds like he's gonna be a little bit of

(09:00):
a douchey broadcaster the way he's going to approach us.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
It is entertainment. It's show business. Be entertaining. Be entertaining.
Don't be like JJ Reddick or those other hardos. Don't
be like that. Do not be like that. All right,
last thing here we keep a theme. Why why not?

Speaker 2 (09:22):
So we go to the viral video department, And here's
the viral video department. How did you evaluate the Patriot
fans the other night savagely booing Patrick Mahomes during the
Tom Brady Patriot Hall of Fame number retirement ceremony. The
video has gone viral here and it shows the New

(09:46):
Englanders laying it on Thick when Mahomes popped up on
camera during this event. So Mahomes in this chapter of
the book, Mahomes is like Harry Potter. He has cast
a spell on Patriot fans. The baton was passed in

(10:06):
the face of the league, right, and.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
He's the face of the league. And so it's a
relay race.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
And Brady passed the baton the Mahomes And as Wilt
Chamberlain said back in his day, that's a great basketball player.
Look him up, he said, nobody likes Goliath, and right
now Mahomes is Goliath in the football business. He is Goliath.
He's got so much venom coming from the Patriot fans.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
And he had more hate than Eli Manning.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
Elijah Manning, who, if I'm not mistaken, got lucky twice
in the playoffs after a mediocre career, rather lethargic career,
and had a couple of out of body experiences where
he made a deal with the devil to beat the Patriots,
Eli Manning, Michael Strahan and he took time out to

(10:57):
do this with his famous mouth and ray Lewis Ray Ray,
where's the white suit?

Speaker 3 (11:02):
Ray?

Speaker 2 (11:03):
And although Mahomes sounds like a cross between Kermit the
Frog and other muppets, he is the NFL's king, and
we knew that anyway. He holds the reins they won
the last couple of Super Bowls. But that is a
tremendous badge of honor for Mahomes that he just cut
a video vignette and the fans were so upset with

(11:24):
him they they had to boo him louder than Manning
and louder than Michael Strahan and Ray Lewis and all
these different characters. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If
you would like to be part, you can join us.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
Speak easy.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
Rules are in effect, but the lines are open. We've
got some legends lined up. Brady to go also on
X at Ben Mahlor if you'd like to be part.

Speaker 1 (11:49):

Hooray for Holly? Would urray for Holly? Would the Coop
scoop on entertainment? We'll get to that.

Speaker 2 (12:00):

fun fact that's just for Eddie and no I'm only

Speaker 1 (14:13):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
I think that doesn't say much about the quality of
the program there, Eileen, that that is what you like.
But thank you for whatever you and whatever brings you
to the store. You know, as long as you're you're
in the store, that's that's what we need. We just
need custom we need we need foot traffic in the store.
That's that's what we need. And you're giving us that
and we appreciate it so so. Thank you very much

(14:37):
that that means a lot. Yeah, all right, anyway, we'll
take some calls. Let's say hello to Eenie Meenie money moll.
Let's say hello to do Poppy in San Diego. Hello, Poppy.

Speaker 6 (14:48):
Aye, all right.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
I hope he didn't fall asleep because it sounds like
he's driving, so that would be a bad thing. Edif
he fell asleep, that would be a problem. Might have
to call the highway patrol there see if they can
track him down. Okay, thank you, Poppy, all right, I try.
I put him on there, right, I gave him a shot.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
Eddie did the best. I put him on.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
He might've been on hole for a while, but I
put him on. Let's say hello. Now, let's go to
She's always here. She's probably getting the bathtub ready right now.
I know Justin likes that. We go to Andrea in
Berkeley and our friend.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
She's got all the Star charts out and all that stuff.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
Andrea standing by Virgo in service on Twitter the Star lady.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
Hello Andrea for you.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
If I was any better, i'd be Lawrence, but not
Trevor Lawrence because he is doing better than me. And yeah,
two hundred million guaranteed for Trevor Lawrence.

Speaker 8 (15:51):
I know, I made a joke that he looks like
someone who would be walking down the street in Berkeley,
except for the fact that he has a five year,
seventy five million dollar contract.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
Yeah, and I think he can buy Berke.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
Well, even with that money, you can buy Berkeley. But
he's doing pretty good. He's doing pretty good.

Speaker 8 (16:10):
Yeah, I mean I looked at his chart. He's October sixth,
nineteen ninety nine, and he's a lead bro which is,
you know, kind of attractive and harmonious. But obviously he
hasn't been doing really well. And I looked at his
chart next March. It's not till March twenty twenty five,

(16:31):
and I know the season's over in February, but Saturn
squares his Mars Mars' energy, assertion, aggression, and Saturn is
the Celtal system bones, knees, teeth, joint back. So what's
interesting is the last thing you want is like an
injury prone transit in March of twenty twenty five. I mean,

(16:54):
it's not next month, but you know it's around the
proverbial corner. So I think that's interesting. Is it like
baseball where it's guaranteed money? In football, or no, well.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
Normally it's not.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
He's going to get two hundred million guaranteed though, so
most of it is guaranteed. It's two hundred and seventy
five million, but two hundred million guaranteed, which is like
your average backup small forward in basketball. Yeah, it's kind
of like that. But in football that's a lot of money. Yeah,
I think it's a lot of money anywhere.

Speaker 1 (17:21):
Two hundred million.

Speaker 8 (17:22):
Oh absolutely, So he's doing quite well because that is
not a really good transit to be happening in you know,
March of twenty twenty five. So right now he's ride
in the wave, he's got Jupiter, it's in Gemini, now
trying his son in Libra. Sudden exciting new opportunity, I

(17:44):
mean to say, with the same team, but definitely you know,
achieving his goals time of success. But it's a little
bit short lived and a little bit short sighted because
that's you know.

Speaker 2 (17:55):
His finances are not short sided though, I think as
long as he has a good financial and her diversified portfolio, uh, generations,
generations of his generational wealth Andrea generation wealth.

Speaker 8 (18:09):
But the team is a little short sighted.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
Oh yeah, the team they broke, I mean they made
me look like my first year on television, I got
my own TV show and every week I'm I'm pumping
the tires on Jacksonville and then Trevor Lawrence and they
made me look like total donkeys on television.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
Screw them, Yeah, Benny versus the penny, that's right, Yes,
thank you. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (18:33):
Poppy said it's coming back, which means it's probably not
coming back, but I have not heard. I hopefully it
will be back. I I should find something out.

Speaker 1 (18:40):
The next couple of weeks. So yeah, I appreciate that.

Speaker 2 (18:45):
All right, Well, thank you, and I gotta go, but
thank you.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
All right, all right, virgo and service our friend Andrea.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
She's got a newsletter and she's written for the Athletic
and yeah, I'm not making that up.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
That's all true.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
Eloy from Compton, although as hard as in Kansas City.
He says, damn it ben best monologue ever. He says,
there are some just hate and hoes. That's my quarterback,
he said. Kyle votes that Poppy phone call the top
phone call we've ever had from Poppy.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
All right, let's say hello to Angry Bill.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
Angry Bill is hanging out in Jacksonville and Angry Bill.
Will you get some of that money, Angry Bill, the
Trevor Lawrence money. Will that trickle down to you?

Speaker 7 (19:30):
Yeah, they'll trickle down.

Speaker 1 (19:32):
Good, all right?

Speaker 7 (19:33):
As soon as I take my depends off. Ben. As
you get older in life, then you start to reflect
on things and you try to understand things more. And
I'm quite disturbed to what's been happening in this country
and with these people, and this thing with Caitlin Clark.
She should have been not only embraced for her basketball,

(19:56):
she should have been embraced for what she's done for
the complete game of basketball. Okay, you've got a great
NBA series going on. I mean, it's just fantastic what
these guys are doing. She should be embraced for what
she's done. Instead, because of racism and jealousy, she keeps
getting put down.

Speaker 1 (20:15):
Oh you see did you?

Speaker 2 (20:16):
Did you see the latest angry Buildough I'm I was
gonna bring this up at some point I forgot about.
But well, she was asked like the Wolkesters are trying
to bring her, drag her into the culture war, and
she said, I'm just here to play basketball, and like
that's offending people they're they're upset with her because she
said she wants to play basketball, which is a kin

(20:36):
to when Michael Jordan's famously allegedly said Republicans by sneakers
too back in.

Speaker 7 (20:42):
Then it's ridiculous. Then we go on to our first family.
I pull up the news. I see our first family
are leaving a lady and her sons and daughters walking
out of a federal courtroom because of drug and gun chargers.
I mean, come on, how the scuff thing is this?
I mean, Biden wasn't there, but everybody else was. I mean,

(21:06):
the first lady walking in and out of a federal
courtroom on gun and drug charge. Well, I think you did.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
I think, well, this is not political, but you did
bury the lead on that angry bill. There's amazing video
that several of our listeners have sent me of I
guess there was some.

Speaker 1 (21:20):
Leader meeting of leaders. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (21:22):
I'm not doing politics, but somebody sent me a clip
of Biden and he like walk He's like President Biden
like randomly walked away from this group.

Speaker 1 (21:29):
Is very bizarre, I don't know, very hot.

Speaker 7 (21:32):
Yeah, Then the final icing on the cake. Then the
final on the cake.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
You're gonna get Tom Darci. You're gonna say something final
icing on the.

Speaker 7 (21:40):
Cake is our Joey Chestnut. You can't do this to
Joey Chestnut. This is a ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (21:45):
That's right. We stand with Joey.

Speaker 7 (21:48):
All the man wants to do. All the man wants
to do is be in the contest. He boosted it.
The eating contest is him. Where there any dumbos want
to realize it or not, it's on a in what's
being done to him?

Speaker 1 (22:01):

at yourue at the end of your meet and Greeks.
Why don't you just tell everybody boy, you're not at

Speaker 1 (25:15):
Fun fact. Well, I know you already know this, Eddie,
and Marcel probably already.

Speaker 2 (25:19):
Knows this as well, because you guys are big WNBA fans.
But is it true that despite all the publicity wokesters
like Eddie Garcia are giving the WNBA the debate shows
are talking about it.

Speaker 1 (25:33):
It's being a shoved down your throat.

Speaker 2 (25:36):
Despite all of it, the WNBA this year is going
to lose about fifty million dollars. Fifty million dollars. It's
being subsidized by the NBA. And according to the Washington Post,
they tell us that the WNBA is on track to

(25:56):
lose about fifty million dollars. And the league has been
around now twenty eight years. They have never turned a
profit in twenty eight years of existence. The NBA has
the numbers here, have the numbers here. They have lost
over two hundred and fifty million dollars they have put
into the league over the last almost thirty years, and

(26:17):
they have gotten zero return on the money they have
invested into women's professional basketball. And so now the WNBA, though,
the way they're they're thinking of making money and the
way they think the NBA can can find a way
to make money is normally what the NBA has done,
and the past is they have they've they've piggybacked the

(26:40):
women on top of the TV deals, so like they
have to sell the adult Well that didn't come out properly.
But they have the TV they have the TV deal
any where they sell the TV rights right, and then
the WNBA is thrown in, Like they forced the TV
networks to show the WNBA, right, they know no one
watches it and it's not very popular. So now they're

(27:01):
thinking the NB, the w NB is popular, so they
can sell their own standalone TV network I deal, So
that's how they're going to try to make money, but
it hasn't worked so far.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
So anyway, how do you like that? Marcel? You impressed
with that? Marcel? Now?

Speaker 9 (27:15):
Oh I see you guys are hung up on me
once again. You could blow me up.
