he be confused and frustrated. We'll talk about that. Also,
is the outrage over Brown's quarterback shoulder Sanders getting a
ton of Pro Bowl votes justified, get a lot of

the suckbag Cleveland Browns quarterback. All that and more Right now,
settle in. We've got some bills to pay. Have a

(01:32):
great Thursday, and here it is our number four. Well,
something smells a little fishy. Something smells a little fishy.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Mahler Show. We are in the air Ami where partners

That's right right now. Use the promo code Malor and

promo code Malor at DraftKings. The Crown is yours and
our lead this hour from Miami, Miami, Miami, Miami, Miami,
one day after Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said, quote, everything

(04:06):
is on the table regarding the benching of Tua tongue
by law. McDaniel turns out we were right. Once't you
throw that out in the cosmos. You have to do it.
You have to bench the quarterback, and sure enough, that's
what happened. Now the surprise was who the Dolphins are
turning to. If you didn't hear, possibly not. Miami officially

(04:27):
amateing from playoff consideration. So they've decided to go with
rookie quarterback Quin Yours of Texas Longhorn, fame, big money guy,
one of the first big money guys in the NIL
of college football at Ohio State and then went to Austin,
and he will start for the Dolphins in Week sixteen

(04:51):
against the Benals. Zach Wilson will be quinn yours primary backup.
Here's Mike McDaniel explained. This is the Mike McDaniel cutt
explaining the decision to go with Quinn Yours rather than
Zach Wilson. Take a list.

Speaker 4 (05:08):
I think Quinn gives this team the best chance to win.
You know, our focuses. Obviously, he wins the next three games,
but in particular, like I tell the players, we are
focused on beating the Bengals, So that was the motivation.
Zach will be backing them up and to it will
be the emergency, emergency.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
Third, so he struggled to even say that the Dolphins
clearly holding a weak hand. If you know anything about
the gambling world there in cards you had a weekend. Well,
Tua is the story the Dolphins quarterback. They paid him
the money, he got paid and they got played. Tua

(05:45):
had his first opportunity to publicly respond to being demoted,
and what did he say. Let's go to the audio tape.
Here's toa disappointed I mean, I'm not happy about it,
but you know, some out of my control phone all right, disappointed,
not happy. We recorded that with a mister microphone from

(06:06):
nineteen eighty two. Said he's disappointed, but I'm not happy
about it, but it's something out of my control. So
that is the money quote, and it's a good jumping
off point. So let us discuss the question where do
you stand? On two? A tongue of Iloi's comments on
his Dolphins benching being quote out of his control. So

(06:29):
my take on this, I have the Billboard hot one hundred,
shrink wrapped and designer hoodie, and we will combine all
of these things together, and we are going to have
the Baba gnooche. And if we don't say the Gabba
gul Atillo is going to kick me in the nuts.
So we're going to have the Gaba ghoul as well.

(06:50):
Now to kick off here the answer and the quote,
it's out of my control is what he said. I'm
paraphrasing this obviously. That is gobbledee gook is what that is.
That's a word salad with ranch dressing, which we all
know is the devil's blood. That is quarterback malpractice is

(07:11):
what that is. When you're the quarterback, we all hear
you're the CEO of the offense and you control everything.
When things go bad, it's in your control. That is
literally and figuratively the job descriptions. While you get paid
more than any other position on the field. So quit
your belly aching. And that's also a tell the Billboard

(07:36):
hot one hundred back in the day, mister mellow yellow
to a tongue of eyelaw, always chill, always zen, can't
tell a lie, and all that stuff's great. It works
when you're winning and when you're losing. It sounds a
lot like apathy. It sounds a lot like apathy. It's

(07:56):
like the smoke alarms going off. You smell smoke, you
feel like there's a fire, and your move is to google.
Is fire really bad for you? Well? I think it is,
but I just had to google it to make sure.
He did the thing to a you can't do at
the time. You absolutely cannot do it. He sucked fifteen interceptions.

(08:21):
That is number one in the entire end, number one
leading them away thanks to Gino Smith getting hurt. That's
not bad luck, by the way, for Tua, that's just
bad quarterbacking. Since week nine, he has not cracked one
hundred and seventy three yards. Now, I didn't play in
the NFL. I just do an overnight talk show. That
doesn't seem good to me. Oh you're so mean, Benny.

(08:44):
Why can't you be? Why can't you be? Benny Brightside?
I know, I know, how dare I? That's the production
of a backup quarterback one hundred and seventy three yards
And of course then he shrugs and has the Houtzbut
to say it's out of his control, Nopal, you had
the wheel. You drove the struggle bus right into the

(09:08):
Atlantic Ocean, and you blamed the tide. Play better, do better.
This is not the Bachelor, It's the NFL. All that.
So there you go, all right. Further one the other
part of this story, which is interesting to me, we
talked about it in a previous episode of the show.
We assumed the position, based on the Dolphins' depth chart,

(09:28):
that if you bench the starting quarterback, you then promote
the backup quarterback. Turns out we were wrong, because the
Jets backup quarterback had been the Zach attack. Well least Zach.
He's lacking the attack now, Zach Wilson, he flew into
a bit of a tantrum as he had been listed

(09:50):
as the backup and now he gets passed over by
Quinn Yours, the former Texas Longhorn, to be the starting
quarterback for the next couple of games. An act of betrayal,
is it so? Zach Wilson admitted he is quote frustrated
and quote maybe a little confused as well at not
getting the start against the ben Gals on Sunday. Wilson

(10:13):
will serve as the backup Unto will be the third
string emergency don't play, you suck quarterback? All right, So
the question Dolphins backup quarterback Zach Wilson said he's frustrated
and confused about why he is not starting. Should he

(10:35):
be I would not use those words. I would say
he should be excited. And here's what the Dolphins did
not stab Zach Wilson in the back. They took the
knife out of his hand before he cut himself. Yet again,
if Wilson plays and goes out there and is el

(10:56):
Stinko in these couple of games left, if that happens,
and history says that's what's going to happen. If he
plays right, that's the house special, that's the manager special.
His career value goes even lower, drops like a basket
of beer battered fish, chips, fish and chips, you know,

(11:16):
hitting the sand there in South Beach. And you know
five second rule. Whatever you stink on Sunday, if you're
Zach Wilson, you become radioactive on Monday. In this case,
and this is the rare exception to the rule. I've
always said, you want to play, you want to play,
you want to play, you want to play. It's more
fun to play. You want your backup of course, most

(11:37):
athletes today would rather not play unless it's an important
game or they get paid five hundred thousand dollars in
the play in the NBA. But in football, he's that
you want to play, it's more fun to play, don't
want to be a backup. However, this is the exception
of the rule. Sitting is plausible deniability. Sitting lets some
desperate general manager squint at the t and say, maybe.

Speaker 5 (12:02):
It was the Jets. Maybe it was the Jets, and
maybe it was the system or the coach. Maybe he
just needs a reset, and that's the plan.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
Zack Wilson's plan is to sell his skills as Daniel
Jones two point zero, shrink wrapped and overpriced, like, hey,
Daniel Jones sucked with the Giants, he went to Minnesota
for a little bit. And of course Zach Wilson's now
he's played since he left the Jets, the Broncos and
the Dolphins. But the point is still the same, Daniel

(12:34):
Jones two point oh, he just go that direction, the
whole Indiana Jones thing and all that, and he was
playing well for a while. But this is the male
of math. Absence creates mystery, and mystery creates money.

Speaker 6 (12:49):
Money.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
Many show me the money. So you let the rookie
go out there and play poorly and take the hits,
and then Zach Wilson can rot quietly, continue to rot
on the bench like a forgotten Deli samwich no one
remembered ordering. And as Mark Twain would tell you, it
is better to be doubted than exposed. Playing removes all doubt.

(13:15):
He said, we hadn't played in a while. Maybe he's
better now. And so if you play and you're exposed,
there is no doubt. It's better to be doubted than exposed.
That's the great words of Mark Twain, big NFL fan
back in the day. Sitting keeps the dream alive. It
keeps it alive, all right. Last thing, to Cleveland we

(13:37):
go where the Browns quarterback shoot Eur Sanders. Could I
say this could's a weasel word. Could end up in
the Pro Bowl. Now, Sanders hasn't been putting up very
impressive numbers. He is not fact he's one of the
worst quarterbacks in the NFL this season. However, when it
comes to the Pro Bowl, it doesn't matter. It's a

(13:58):
popularity contest, and guess what he's popular. Sanders through five
NFL regular season games, has completed barely fifty percent of
his passes. He has more interceptions than touchdowns. Those are
not Pro Bowl numbers, but the voting results would suggest otherwise.

(14:18):
Sanders is currently tenth among all NFL quarterbacks and Pro
Bowl votes. When he got the final three weeks of
the season and shoulder, Sanders is in the top ten.
He ranks ahead of Broncos quarterback Bo Knicks, Buccaneers quarterback
Baker Mayfield, Steelers quarterback Aired Rogers, even Ravens quarterback Lamar

(14:42):
Jackson's that terrible year and charges quarterback Justin Herbert, among others.
Question people see, I'm upset by this is the outrage army?
Is the outrage army over Brown's quarterback? Shouldar Sanders getting
Pro Bowl love? Just so, I took a look at this,

(15:03):
I deliberated the available evidence, and the Court of malor,
the Court of Mahler, has ruled. This is pearl clutching theater,
pearl clutching theater, the Pro Bowl. This is gonna blow
you away. Nobody else has this take. The Pro Bowl
isn't the hall of justice. There's no need to have

(15:23):
a hissy fit. There's a lot of things in life
you can have a hissy fit about. The Pro Bowl
is not one of them. And I actually covered the
Pro Bowl when it was real and it sucked. Then
I went to a game in Hawaii many many years ago,
and it's now. It's a TikTok popularity. Passion is what
it is. And Shnur Sanders he plays well in the

(15:45):
algorithm he does. Some people are acting like the Pro
Bowl is this sacred football tablet, and by putting Schadur
in the top ten, you're you're dropping that. It's like
dropping it on the Browns practice facility. It's like, No.
The NFL players harpooned the Pro Bowl. The game in Vegas.

(16:06):
They held a wildcat strike and that was it, and
the Pro Bowl was left floating belly up. That's it
at belly up. And if you read the fine print,
I have not watched the Pro Bowl. I can't tell
you last time watched the Pro Bowl because my time
is valuable and that's not worth my time. I do

(16:26):
know that it's seven on seven flag football. It's dodgeball.
I'm not making that up. They played dodgeball, tug of war.
These are all things I did in sixth grade relay races.
They do kick tac toe whatever the hell that is.
This is the Kardashian chronicles with shoulder pads and shader fits.

(16:50):
Really nice. He's got a good look in the designer hoodie. Yeah,
he looks good on the catwalk doing the pirouette at
the Pro Bowl event. You know he looks good in that.
If you look look at the numbers. He stinks should
ear Saners stinks the numbers are bad. But the votes,
that's fame math, not malor math. That's fame math. You

(17:11):
don't win the Pro Bowl based on passer rating. You
don't get votes into the Pro Bowl based on passer
rating and all that. You win it with engagement. It's
all about engagement, and the real honor is all pro
So we talk about this guy was a Pro Bowl player.
I remember the year that I realized what a joke
the Pro Bowl was was the year there was a

(17:32):
quarterback named Vince Young who's most famous for becoming broke
because he loved the cheesecake factory. I'm not making that up.
Our old morning guy Klay Travis had that story that
Vince Young, when he played for the Tennessee Titans, loved
the Cheesecake Factory so much that he literally lost his

(17:53):
riches on chicken littles and cheesecake and pizza and the
other stuff they have the cheese. It's wild at the
Cheesecake Factory anyway. It's the all pro thing that matters.
The Pro Bowl is like the neon eracer you get
from a kid's birthday party and some people pretending otherwise.
This is like the perfect event for Shredur Sanders. You

(18:15):
can do the tug of war, the dodgeball and have
a grand old time fun for everybody. What's not to
like about that? Come on now, it is the Ben
Mallor Show. As we are rolling through the night, we
thank you for being part of this reminder that Benny

a really good matchup if you're a hardcore football fan,

the NFC playoff race. There so a lot of moving

nine on Fox, also on X at Ben Mallor, that's
at Ben Mallor. We'll take your calls, comments, and all
of that wonderful stuff, and we'll do that right about now,
and we have some before we do that, we have
some some wonderful witty comments on the X machine at

(22:53):
Ben Mallard. Joe the Ghost Center believes e Dog in
New York should win the Worst Caller of the Year,
and if not, there should be some kind of crime investigation.
Ferg Dog says, Ben, do you think there's a good
chance Sam Donald gets benched if he lays another stinker
against the Rams? Yeah, I believe that JJ in Renton
and our friend Nostredinas will run out and pull Sam

(23:15):
Donald literally off the field. Alf the alien Ol Piner
from just adjacent to Springfield, mass where Muffett McGraw is
in the Pro Basketball Hall of Fame. So you know
that's a big deal, says Imagine if Adam Silver was
in charge of the NFL. Schrdur suffers a career ending
injury during the Pro Bowl activities and Silver pushes him

(23:38):
to the front of the line to be inducted into
the into Canton. He says, well, if Adam Silver was
in charge of the NFL, then they would have given
out some kind of award. What's the I'm turning to
the math on that, the equivalent of So let's do
some We're going to some malord math on the air.

(23:58):
What do you say? So the NBA, what are we
looking at the NBA season? They played about twenty six
games I believe it is. That seems about right. We'll
go with that. They crowned a champion. So let's do
the percentage on that. So the twenty six games you're
doing live malar maths has never been done before. So
twenty six games out of eighty two, so that is

(24:20):
thirty one percent. So thirty one percent into the season,
they crowned a champion. The New York Knickerbocker's congratulations. So
there's a seventeen game season in the NFL. So the
equivalent if the NFL were to follow that guideline and
do the whole cup thing, then that means that the

(24:41):
midway point would have been after about the same would
be week five, So after week five, the Indianapolis Colts
would have been the champions of the NFL under that guideline.
So stupid, that's so great. All right, let's go to
the phones and then we'll say hello to Steve oh

(25:02):
in Manhattan. Hello Steve in Manhattan. Welcome Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve,
Hello Steve.

Speaker 6 (25:12):
Welcome thy he go.

Speaker 7 (25:13):
Yeah, listen, it's Christmas time in the Big City, and
you know the year is winding down. I mean, I
know they have the worst call of the year, the
caller where everybody radio start clicking off, the computers click off,
the comeback call of the year, the almost core of
the year. We have all kinds of awards, but it's
just nonsense. But I would like to give everybody the

(25:36):
opportunity in this audience to get at Steve. Because at
the end of the year Ben's going on vacation. Who
knows whether distinguished Palal is going to be. So I
think if they want to call in right now and
really go wild and go, you know, and try to
get after Steve, go ahead and do it. I mean,
I'll admit, they've did a good job of getting me
banned from most of the shows in talk radio, you know,

(25:58):
so they are effective out there, very effective as far
as I'm concerned, and all right, and there's not many
there's just not many shows that will let me on anymore.
And that's just I mean, it's it well anyway, But
if anybody wants to call it, get get it, Steve Gas,
get Steve, go right at it, and do you all right?

Speaker 1 (26:17):
All right, I'll put your I'll put you on. Everyone
wants to. I'll go to these color calls. Everyone wants
to challenge Steve O in Manhattan the go Buchanan guy,
I will put him back on. So we'll put We'll
put Steve on hold, and then we'll pivot over to
the other side here and let's see eeny meenie, miney moe.
Let's say hello to Mike the Leprechaun. Hello, Mike the Leprechaun, Welcome.

Speaker 11 (30:27):
I don't know if that one was better than than
mike Lebragan's.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
Well they were fine. We need we need options. You know,
we'll pretty much play anything at this point, so we
need options. Those are two new holiday songs, Coop. Well,
that's fine, we'll play we can play it as a
holiday song. We'll just say it's like it's saying diehards
like Christmas music movie. We'll just that's it. You know,
he did it. He called up in December, a week
before Christmas. So we'll play it. Why not? Yeah? So anyway,

(30:57):
it is the Ben Maler Show. Let's blind Scott. Would
you like to attack Steven Manhattan? Blind Scott? You have
a question for Steven Manhattan, blind Scott.

Speaker 16 (31:04):
Yeah, let's bring Steven Manhattan. And so there's these actors
called Tim and Eric actors. And there's this TV show
that came out. It's called The Chair Company by Tim Robinson.
There's a lot of Tim and Eric actors in this
that called there's a or disabled actor. You know what
I'm saying? Am I still on?

Speaker 7 (31:23):
No?

Speaker 6 (31:24):
Oh?

Speaker 15 (31:24):
Hey dude?

Speaker 6 (31:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 16 (31:25):
So this Chair Company so cool? Here's my question if
you get one of these stunt actors job to disabled actors,
can I go around and tell everybody I'm a famoustacker,
I'm acting and all these films and stuff like? Is
that an intult the actors? Because I think I'm trying
to get a hold of this right here.

Speaker 15 (31:40):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (31:42):
Was that a question for Steven Manhattan?

Speaker 16 (31:44):
No, I'm asking cool? If the question this is my
plan material? I don't Steve's on every station I listened
to a few. Steve, You're a piece of crap. Plan material? Dude,
Is a disabled actor or a stunt actor the same
as a regular actor? Can you go on actors TV studios?

Speaker 11 (32:04):
I feel like you're putting stunt actors like that's a
whole different conversation. But but what a disabled actor? How
is that any different than a normal actor other than
they do?

Speaker 16 (32:15):
So you see the stunt actors, So like Tim Robinson
in the Chair Company TV, show. I don't know if
you watch it, he used all stunt actors. They're not
real actors. Those are what I considered disabled actors. Can
those people that they cast in that TV series, can
they come on Actors Yield Studio or whatever and be like,
I'm an actor in this show. I have these acting roles.

Speaker 15 (32:34):
You know?

Speaker 16 (32:34):
Is that legitimate acting roles? That's what I was wondering.

Speaker 1 (32:36):
Sure, okay, thank you, that's great material. I'm glad you
we use step in Manhattan Blind. Scott says you're horrible
and you're on every radio show that he listens to
your thoughts.

Speaker 7 (32:48):
All right, I'm going to address Scott, but first I
want to say some to the Leplicon up in Beantown.
Mike Lepicon, Are you going to be singing White Christmas
at the Mayor of Beantown's Christmas part of this year?
Get back to us if you are, and get back
to us if you want to, but they won't let you.
All Right, listen, Scott, all you've got to do a

(33:09):
really most of these auditions are done on zoom today.
All right, there's nobody's waiting online to get into the
sound of musical grease.

Speaker 14 (33:17):
Get an agent, go on zoom and that's how you audition,
and you will get parts. You have a good voice,
people will like you. And tell him that you're a
big fantasy from an a and everybody jump out the window.
So don't do that, but get an agent, go on
zoom and you're in. And we want to have a
response from the Leprechaun.

Speaker 1 (33:37):
All right, Well his response is he hung up, but
thank you, Steve. David the fried Daddy in Pennsylvania says
that the Leprechaun is worse than Poppy and the guy.
Then he rips Rick and Maryland as well. So David
the Fried Daddy very upset. Let's go to Ryan in Idaho.

(33:59):
What's going on? And welcome? You're on the Ben Mather Show.
I think we'll put you on maybe, you know.

Speaker 12 (34:07):

Speaker 10 (34:14):

Speaker 7 (34:17):
You go, Oh, I'm getting people's Christmas crapped together.

Speaker 1 (34:23):
Oh okay, that sounds like, oh you're at the factory.
That sounds like functionally, the North Pole is actually an
Idaho exciting.

Speaker 7 (34:37):
Pretty far, I.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
Know, because all the way to the border, right I think, so.

Speaker 7 (34:41):
Yeahs all the way to Canada anyway.

Speaker 1 (34:45):
Yeah, anyway, my nominee for Car of the Year goes
to the dog.

Speaker 7 (34:52):
I think the only the dog.

Speaker 1 (34:55):
Remember the dog, Well, it's the dog. That's Andre's dog.
Andre should start and sorry, yeah okay.

Speaker 2 (35:06):
And.

Speaker 15 (35:09):
Yet for Christmas a lot of people.

I feel like you're distracted, which is fine, and you're
listening to the show and you're helping people out and
all that. It's great and I'm gonna hang up, thank you.
All right, there there's Ryan and Idaho. So a pickers paradise.
How about this? The story this is this is crazy.
So there's a story of passing around. The NFL officials

(35:42):
told the Detroit Lions coaches that if the Lions receivers
picked their nose one more time, they would get a
penalty for nose picking. Now, at the time, the initial
story didn't really name the receiver, but it appears that
it's aman Ross Saint out, the star receiver for the Lions,

(36:02):
who pondered the illegality of NFL players picking their nose.
I'm on ross Aint Brown said, why can't I dig
in my nose and flick it? There's no way like that.
That's what's bad about that, he said. So that's a
deep dive from I'm on Rossaint Brown of the Detroit Lions,

(36:26):
who appears to be a picker, the amazing Pickers. Yes, yes, anyway,
it is the Bend Maler Show. Gotta love that what
you get in trouble. I picked my nose, Okay, picked
the big booger, big giant green thing of mucus. All right,

(36:46):
we will have fact or fiction. He got a full
board cleared. We cleared the board. So if you want
to be one of our judges called right now eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox is it a fact
or is it fiction? We'll get to that and we
will do it next.

Tyrese Haliburton out for the year, a whole lot of injuries.
Pacers suck this year. They're terrible. In order to boost

number two. The Boca Bowl, as a new sponsor, will
now be known as the Bushes Boca Baton the Braton

beans and sit in a special section. Wow. All right.
