Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's our two of the Ben Mahler Show, and it
is all about Joe Cool Cincinnatis, newest celebrity, newest aristocrat.
What are your initial thoughts on Joe Burrow winning the
Wheel of Fortune from the Ben Gals?
Speaker 1 (00:17):
You got a massive contract.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
And what did you think of the timing of the
Borough contract reveal?
Speaker 1 (00:25):
And what is the lesson? Is there a lesson from Joe.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Burrow becoming the gold standard for quarterback money in the NFL?
This is a pretty good lesson from the Joe Burrow story.
Not a lot of people are talking about it, but
we will here. It is our number two, the King
of the Benals. Welcome in the beginning of another hour
(00:51):
of the Ben Mahler Show.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
We are in the air everywhere.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Benfellows, as we say, can you dig its coast, border,
the border and beyond all the mast and blaringly powerful
microphones of fsre ammating live from the seat high a top.
Speaker 1 (01:14):

So a lot going on in our little world. At
(01:36):
a Thursday night NFL game, and congratulations to the Motor
City Kitties. The Detroit Lions get her done, Honolulu Blue,
how do you do as the Lions going to Arrowhead
and take advantage of some butterfingers by Kansas City's Kadarius
Tony and the Lions get the win. They were the
(02:00):
beginning of the week a six and a half point dog.
It ended up at four and a half or five
because Travis Kelsey did not play in that game.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
But the win goes to the Detroit Lines. More on
that later.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Our lead this hour coming from Mana Mani. The NFL
has produced another powerball winner, big doings out of a
Buckeye state. If you have not heard by now, you
might have missed it because this news came down in.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
A very odd time.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
We learned that Joe Burrow has agreed to a record
setting contract. No more twiddling of his thumbs waiting to
sign the deal with the ben Gals. It has happened,
we are told by those that claim to know that
Burrow will get a five year contract in the limelight.
(02:49):
There two hundred and seventy five million dollars, and really
what that is is, well, it's a lot of funny money.
The most important part is the guaranteed part, and that's
two hundred and nineteen million dollars of guaranteed money. Joe
Burrow can go out and just blow and he's going
to get two hundred nineteen million dollars. Unless he violates
(03:11):
the morals clause in his contract, well then he won't.
But Burrow the highest paid player in NFL history at
this moment.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
He is a reminder.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
In the newsroom at the Old Gossip website I started
years ago, we had two mantras and one of those
mantras was a rumor is just a fact until it
has yet to be discovered. The fact that has yet
to be discovered. And today's rumors are tomorrow's news. Right,
Those were the two mantras.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
That we followed.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
And the other night there was a rumor bouncing around
that Joe Burrow was about to get paid, and here
we are, he does get paid, and so it is true.
Now that had been the gossip, and now the gossip
is reality. So let's discuss the question what are your
initial thoughts on Joe Burrow's wheel of fortune in Cincinnati?
Speaker 3 (04:02):
So I have barnyard, fumble, roost que, and minute made,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we'll try to break into a smile.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
We'll try to break into a smile.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
So, first of all, all right, this is a big
step for the Bengals, like Big senf anyway, give that
kind of do out to anybody, but the Bengals in particular.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
I don't know how old you are, I don't know
how long.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
You've been following the NFL, but at my age, if
you're around my age, the Bengals have always been the
epitome of cheap right shoe string budget, paycheck to paycheck.
It's the family business. So have times changed? Is this
the bar mitzvah for the Cincinnati Bengals? Have they matured now?
(04:51):
Mike Brown taking a sledgehammer to his reputation?
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Is it no more el chiapo in the ne.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Someone needs to check the barnyard because I was told
when I was younger that if the Bengals ever had
the highest paid player in the NFL, that pigs were
going to start flying and chickens would have teeth and
all those things would be true.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Horses would start talking. So maybe that's all happened down
at the barnyard. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
But Joe Burrow is twenty six years old and he
is now aristocrat rich. Wonderful, wonderful, What a wonderful thing.
That is a great mitzvah. So secondly, now not only
do you have the announcement of the money, which is craziness, man,
but the news of Joe Burrow's lottery win breaking after
(05:43):
shortly after we had kickoff of the opening game of
the NFL season, the Chiefs and the Lions of game,
Detroit upset Kansas City. Now that was unusual, is the
word I will use.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Unusual.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Kansas City is the biggest rival of Joe Burrow and
the Bengals. So what did you think of the timing
of the Joe Burrow contract reveal which was conveniently leaked
right around the kickoff of the Thursday night NFL opener.
So I have one word to describe the Joe Burrow timing,
(06:22):
and that is fiasco.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
That is my word.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
These Schmendricks should hire one of my bosses. They should
hire Don Martin, one of the czars of FSR. Right,
what is my boss always said, I repeat this guy
all the time. One of the lines he told me
years ago.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Don't bear the lead, my man, don't bear the lead.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
You hit the good news. The Bengals buried the lead, Like,
what are you doing? That's a Thursday night news dump.
That's takeout the trash night, is what it is. Ninety
nine percent of the NFL world was locked in, captivated
by the Chiefs and the Lions. The other one percent
were sleeping. They were certainly ignoring other stuff other than
(07:03):
the game, and so you ended up zigging when you
were supposed to zag. Bad job by you. That is
a thumbo ruski is what that is. Failing to collect
your flowers, Like the Bengals have not been there before.
You know, you're supposed to act like you've been there before.
The Bengals haven't been there before. What if the Bengals
paid anybody? I mean, it's just the facts, man, just
(07:24):
the facts.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
When if they paid anybody, yeah, maybe they did.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
At some point I must have blocked it out of
my memory. But who does that You get a big story.
It makes you look like you're not a bunch of
tight wads, and you announce it during a Thursday night
NFL game, a big Thursday night game to begin the season.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
That's bad storytelling. Who goofed?
Speaker 2 (07:47):
I've got to know the Bengals have had so many
cobwebs on the purse strings that they should have been
doing a pirouette on the catwalk and just announced this
on a Well. I wouldn't even announced it on a Friday.
I would have waited till till Monday. I guess they're
kind of in a pickle because they had to get
it in before the Bengals play on Sunday. But still
(08:08):
a Thursday night. This is supposed to be a watershed
moment for the team and a few people are going
to realize what happened, all right? Final thought, So there's
one other thought I had on this Burroughs story. And
we're heart to heart here, not exactly heart to heart,
but I'm talking, I mean your ear drums. So, what
(08:30):
is the lesson of Joe Burrow now becoming for this
chapter of the football world a gold standard when it
comes to quarterback money, the gold standard. So this is
a teachable moment. Joe Burrow has overcome the eyes. Now
he was the number one packy. Originally went to Ohio State,
(08:52):
got bounced out of there, ended up playing at LSU.
But it's like people used to about Tom Brady being
a Cinderella Michigan. At the time Brady went to Michigan,
Michigan was one of the powers of college football.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Now they're back being a college football power, but.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
They're not recruiting shop Liver and Joe Burrow going to
Ohio State. Originally, you're not as stiff if you get
recruited to play at Ohio State and then going to
LSU and doing what he did. But the teachable part
of this is that Burrow he overcame the odds in
the sense that he could have had a hissy fit
(09:26):
because he was drafted by Cincinnati, And it's in vogue
now to have this defeatist attitude. If you get drafted
by a crap house team, you know, woe is me.
The Bengals franchise has for the most part been like
residing in Chernobyle. It's a nuclear fallout zone in Cincinnati
for pro football, and Joe Burrow walked the path less
(09:50):
travel and was able to navigate all of the vipers
and all the other critters on that path, and it
was a franchise awakening journey. The previous four years before
Joe Burrow walked in to the Bengals locker room, Cincinnati
had played sixty three games. They had lost forty two
(10:13):
of those games.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
And nobody is.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Going to confuse Zach Taylor, who is the coach and
still is the coach.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
When Joe Burrow walked in there.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
No one's going to confuse Zach Taylor with Andy Reid,
Bill Belichick or Mike Tomlin or Sean McVay. But Burrow
did not sulk. As far as we know, he didn't
have a pity party. He rolled up his sleeves, he
got his hands dirty, and for that he's the minute
made man. Right when life gives you lemons, I heard
this one as a kid make lemonade.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
And that's a.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Bit of a rather obvious f you to Caleb Williams,
whose daddy is already tossing out the possibility that he
might not go to the NFL in implying that if
the Arizona Cardinals get the number one pick, he'd be like,
I'm gonna go back to sc and get that nil money.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
But Joe Burrow has proven.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
You can make it work in a real, real dark
place like Cincinnati's locker room. If you're good enough, you
can figure it out. You didn't have the greatest coaches
in the world and the greatest teammates.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
In the world.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
And Joe Burrow's been rather remarkable as the quarterback in Cincinnati.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
But what do I know. I just do the the
Overnight show. Here, it is the Ben Mahlor Show.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
And if you'd like to be part, we talking about
that or the fact that the Kansas City Chiefs now
have the worst record in the NFL, and we already
had a guy calling for Andy Reid's job last hour
on the social media channels, and as Patrick Mahomes lost
his way. I want to get the full overreaction machine.
I love the NFL overreaction machine.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Broncos in first place, Yeah, Broncos in first place. Everyone
running away.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
The Detroit Lions already planning to sell playoff tickets now
because they beat the Chiefs. So you can get your
Lions playoff tickets if you want that.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
And we got to go all way in on this.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Eight seven seven Ninetynine on Fox is the number eight
seven seven nine six three sixty nine, also on the
x X marks the spot Ben Mahler on there and
don't forget you know, I get this little TV thing
that I'm doing now, So if you actually watch it,
I mean, I mean, if I can't get you guys
to watch it, I am royally screwed because nobody else

Speaker 2 (14:14):
Now you get if Coop does not include Benny Versus
the Penny on the Coop Scoop on Entertainment heads are
gonna roll, Eddie.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Heads are gonna roll.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
I mean, that's the number one show everyone's talking about
in America. People don't even gamble, Eddie. It's not even
see the weird thing about Benny Versus the Penny. I
was telling one of the producers over the show. I
was like, it's not really a gambling show.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
It's just us using like bull.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Crap and then we kind of give picks in the
bull crap. That's kind of what it is. That's the recipe.
Like a lot of these like I like gambling on
like you know, I'm better, but a lot of these
gambling shows are so boring. If this show is boring,
I don't want to do it. I want to do boring, Eddie.
I don't want to do boring.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
I just wanted to point that out it.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
Thank you. You feel better now now I felt fine, Coop,
you feel pressure to uh yeah, I include this because
I'm pretty sure you didn't have this in the No.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Of course he had that in there. What are you
talking about?
Speaker 2 (15:12):
He saw the press release and all that now what
you know, man, I I got brigadier generals all over
the place who are sending me in reports. It's like
the show's on at all different times. I got Michael,
who's this massively important attorney in New Jersey, but he lives,
you know, in the southern part in your Philly, and
he's been a big support of the show over the years.
(15:33):
And yeah, he gives me like free legal advice that
would cost me thousands of dollars to pay an attorney
at law. And he looked it up and he said,
like in Philly, the show is going to air at
eleven thirty tonight, so that's right after the birds Huddle.
I think we'll get better ratings in the birds huddle.
I think on that that NBC thing in Philadelphia.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
So do we do we have any idea when the
first official showing will be in? Where to have any
clue about that?
Speaker 1 (16:01):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
I was told it's going to air at three point
thirty in the afternoon somewhere on the East coast, which
would be twelve thirty our time on the West coast,
but I don't.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
I don't know where.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
Well, unfortunately, I recorded Koop Scoop a couple of days ago,
so we're just playing that.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Yeah, no, no, this actually works out well because there's
no new content coming out of entertainment. It's all been
shut down because of the strike, which has gone on
for twenty years now. Hollywood's been shut down, so there's
no news things other than documentaries to talk about.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
So I just want to I just want to point
that out. We begin this hour with Joe Burrow.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
He got paid, and just to recap my take, My
take was very simple that Joe Burrow did the ultimate
few to all those people that said you gotta get
drafted by a certain team. You're doomed to fail if
you get drafted by a terrible team. Now, the odds
say most of the time you are doomed to fail
if you get drafted by a terrible team. But but
(17:03):
we would like to point out that bro when he
went to Cincinnati, they were dreadful for for the last
four years before he got there, and they stunk the
first year he was there. And he's made it work
and he was able to convince those nimrods who run
the Bengals to actually pay him a ton of money,
a ton and ah my god, so much.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Money scene amount of money.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Let's go to the phones and let's see who do
we have a meanie miney. Let's go to Chicago, where
the Deep Dish pizza is delicious and the takes and
the callers are even better.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
The big Dog. No, no, that's big dog right there.
Speaker 7 (17:46):
Yeah boy, listen, man, you're gonna have to call your
friend Michael and get some legal advice, because I am
charging you with the high crime, treasonous crime of caring
the lead all right, the lead of Jowan Taylor tackle
for the Kansas City Chiefs. Okay, first of all, correct
(18:09):
me if I'm wrong. The PGA Tour had a system
in place where if you sit at home and your
lazy boy watching your rug rats run around, you can
call in a violation. Meanwhile, the Juggernaut, which is the NFL,
has no system in place to prevent this guy from
lining up as a fullback all game, A.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Big dog? Are you telling me you have a problem
with the false start? I thought that was allowed.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Now for the Chiefs to have the fall start.
Speaker 7 (18:43):
It got so bad that Chris Collinsworth said, this guy
has been playing slot receiver all game. Okay, thank god,
thank god they lost because this would have been chentuled
on the fire of all the received theory spoken around
on TikTok.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Yeah, well no, but there is. And I love that
you're on TikTok. You're cooler than me, big dog, because
you're on TikTok. I'm not on TikTok. See, you're a
cool guy because you're on there.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
I'm not on there though, But anyway, here's the word. Listen,
all right.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
The conspiracy theory I saw several of the fans of
the show sent me this that the NFL officials allowed
the Chiefs tackle to line up illegally as an equalizer
because the Chiefs were missing two of their.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Top three players because Kelsey was out.
Speaker 7 (19:33):
And all that I have as a side note real quick, Yeah, okay,
the good old boy club of the NCAA Football is
in a lot of trouble because Dion Sanders is already
regarded as a great person by many people who know him.
He's looking like he's on his way to be a
great coach, and there is nobody cooler than this guy
(19:57):
ever in the history of college football, and so wants
these offensive linemen and defensive lineman want to start playing
for him. It's over over, so they might.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Have to shut down Alabama and Ohio State, now, big dog,
because Dion's arrived get rid of the entire Southeastern Conference.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
All right, thanks big dog.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Now speaking of that, and I saw this, and I
asked debating whether to bring this up on the show,
but you mentioned Deon Sanders, big dog, so that allows
me to say this. The SEC commission the Southeastern Conference
commissioner took a shot at Dion Sanders.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Do you see that? No, yeah, tell me, I'll tell
your ma, Eddie, I'll.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Tell you mar So, Dion Sanders has been prolific at
the transfer portal, using the transfer portal to essentially put
a free agent lineup together for the Colorado Buffaloes. And
it worked, not defensively because the defense was biblically bad.
Reminded me of USC or some old UCLA teams that
couldn't tackle anybody but just kept scoring points. But the
SE commissioner, big shot Greg sank is his name, and
(21:05):
he commented on the Colorado Buffalos, and he brought up
the whole student athlete thing, and he was asked about
the eighty six new players because of the transfer portal.
He said, as we're talking about providing more certainty and
security for student athletes. The headline could be a bit troubling,
(21:25):
he said, talking about what Dion Sanders has done at Colorado,
and the implication.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Was that, you know, this is not right.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
We need to curtail the transfer portal, like Dion's doing
stuff that shouldn't be allowed and all that. You know
what that tells me, they're scared in the Southeastern com
deon Sanders is scary the Southeastern Conference. That's what that
tells me. Right there, using the word the T word troubling,
he used the Tayward That Tayward troubling.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
He used it. Here is that let's go to Fro.
Who's in Rhode Island. Hello, Fro, welcome?
Speaker 8 (22:08):
All right. I didn't know you had a Donna the
year over there man before.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
I mean, but that's not just the dog. That's not
a dog. That's big dog, man, that's Fro. That's the
big dog.
Speaker 8 (22:19):
Ni uh So you said, Joe Burrow, could you're talking
about kill Williams coming out next year? He doesn't want
to come out whatever, because you just want to go
to Arizona. You don't think that has something to do
with it. He got hurt in his rookie year, and
then he convinced the Bengals to take his college teammate,
(22:39):
Jamal Chase.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Yeah, well it was Kyler Murray in Arizona.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
They brought in what Hollywood Brown, didn't they or not?
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Who's the receiver? They got his buddy.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
They picked up a receiver that was yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
so yeah, all I'm saying here fro is Joe Burrow
went to a total crack house in Cincinnati, and now
the Bengals are one of the contenders in.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
The a f C every year. And he convinced.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Imagine working for a business that never pays anybody top
dollar and he's so good. The Bengals are like, this
is the guy we gotta pay. We don't pay anybody.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
This is the guy.
Speaker 8 (23:17):
Yeah. I'm a Dolphins fan, so I know we were
trying while we had us face. He's a defensive coordinator
for Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Now, oh he's in Minnesota. Actually he moved to the Vikings.
Speaker 8 (23:29):
Now, yeah, well we were trying to get borrowed with.
We were trying to trade up. Now we got to
obviously we gota.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
You know what I mean. Are you happy about that? Bro,
are you happy about too?
Speaker 7 (23:42):
No, I uh no, I'd rather have Herbert.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Yeah, we'll see.
Speaker 8 (23:50):
We'll see Sunday. We'll see Sunday.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Yeah, I got you. That's a big game and I
was at that game last year. I might go to
the game on Sunday. I don't know if I'm going
or not. I have to catch her that, yeah I should.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
But yeah, that is a bit of a trip. But
if you start driving right now, you still won't make it.
But you get close, you get close. All right, Thank you, bro.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
All right, keep an eye on that. It is the
Ben Mahlor Show.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
As we are rolling on the Logo Defense Fund. We'll
get to that coming up momentary. Also, later this hour,
we have Mallard of the third Degree, Big content hour,
big content hour on the show. But right now, let's
get you caught up on everything that you might have missed.
And we say hello to the not Cho Daddic, the Merman,
(24:38):
a guy that walked into a fountain, a public fountain,
like a vague.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Eddie Garcia I did.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
A man of honor who pays off his bets when
he loses, just like me, not like Ben Malor.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
I ate Rocky Mountain, oister.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
You did not you ate jerky.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
No, it was Rocky Mountain oyster.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
Yeah, beef jerky.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
That's a lie.
Speaker 5 (25:02):
It's not that's not a lie. That's little What you did?
You ate beef jerky?
Speaker 2 (25:05):
I ate Rocky Mountain beef jerky, I ate jerky Eddie,
I ate bold testicles.
Speaker 1 (25:11):

Speaker 5 (26:00):
Now Brian Finley was working tonight instead of me, he'd
be telling you about Cocoa golf moving into the finals
there at the US Open tennis thing tennis. Yeah yeah,
But now I'd rather tell you about the protesters that
were at the Arthur Ashe Stadium there in New York.
There were four protesters in the match. They were environmental activists.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Yeah yeah, So.
Speaker 5 (26:26):
Three of them went on to the court and they
were removed. But there was one protester that, uh it,
well took him a while to get him out of
the arena. That was because he glued his bare feet
to the uh concrete floor.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
That's that's a that's a trick, those those environmental people.
Remember the Minnesota woman, the Timberwolves woman, if she glued herself.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
Yeah yeah, yeah, So they had to call like medical
personnel to uh, I don't know, remove his feet.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
It's certain Middle Eastern countries. They just chopped the chopped
the feet off.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
Yeah yeah, they did. They did not do that. They
did not they did not do that, Okay, but it
did delay the match almost an hour.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
What kind of glue was used? Was it gorilla?
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Elmer's apparently I was an Elmer's glue guy when I
was in school.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
I used to Yes, I.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Ate I ate a lot of elmer I ate a
lot of Elmer's glue. It was great because I would
use it. I would pour it all over my hands
and we were doing like arts and crafts, and then
I'd wait a little bit and dried pretty quick, and
then I'd have fun peeling it off.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
And sometimes I'd take a little nibble of the glue.
Speaker 5 (27:28):
That's really disgusting.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Yeah, it's kind of like I like the smell of.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Gas when I go to the gas station.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
I love that smell.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
I feel very masculine gas. Yeah, well, not that that
kind of gas. Appreciate that, but it depends I it's
your own.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
You always appreciate your own. Have you noticed that you
kind of appreciate but the other people's usually not that
I know.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
Roberto used to make that comment occasionally. He enjoyed his own.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Oh yeah, breaking news.
Speaker 5 (27:59):
By the way, I know.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
I know Roberto Flora is big news, old comrade. I
told Roberto Eddie.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Yeah, I told Roberto, I said, you're like Tom Brady
fair hard to replace Roberto Flores, but he's he's finally passed.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Roberto is all grown up. Now, he's all grown up.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
He'll be left here a bus near you.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Ten years ago he left, but he finally passed the test.
So congratulations to Roberto and got a lot of you
boys that drive trucks and you know how hard it
is here.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
It can be difficult to pass that test.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
But Roberto will be driving around those little elementary school
punk kids probably throw spitballs at him and all that.
Speaker 5 (28:41):
Now they're too busy on their phones, they don't do that.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
That's a good point. Yeah, yeah, that's a fair point.
That congratulations of Roberto. We're happy he is something he
wanted to do.
Speaker 5 (28:49):
And you'd have swung and missed on the third pitch
there you gotta start all over again. But that doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
He passed the test.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Yeah it's a little tough, so good life to Roberto
as he pursues the next chapter in his professional career.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
And you never know, Ay, maybe I'll put them on
my podcast again. You never know.
Speaker 2 (29:10):

mean that is big time, big time audio real estate,
That Fifth Hour podcast.
Speaker 1 (29:19):

go now to the land of the Inzer in Petsburg, Pennsylvana.
Peyton Pittsburgh's eyes OI and Double Oi, and the Steelers
in their locker room there they've got a really really
cool logo right in the middle of there, the Steelers
iconic logo right there, beautiful and people were just walking.
(30:04):
It was like a stampede over the logo in the
locker room. So Minka Fitzpatrick was so bothered by this,
he was so annoyed by this, and he's such a
perfectionist that he demanded that his comrades in the locker
room stop defacing the Steeler logo right in the middle
of the locker room. So he said, you know what
(30:27):
I'm doing. We've had this policy and all that. You
can't you know, you can't do it.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
But he put around the logo.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
He went to extreme measures here to protect the logo,
and he you know those things when you're online. I
don't know what they're called here, uh, partitions kind of,
but you know those you're in line and they've got
the straps on them, you know what I'm talking.
Speaker 5 (30:51):
About when you're at like a ballgame and.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
The Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
So he wrapped the logo around around the logo. He
put these up so nobody could walk.
Speaker 5 (31:01):
Over this in hockey lot, Ben, it's a very very
particular do not step on the logo when you're in
the hockey locker room. They get very upset about that.
And my thing is, if you don't want it stepped on,
don't put it.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
On the floor. Yeah, but he said, you have to keep.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Keep it clean, the logo, and I just want management
this coming in now. I I feel the same way
about the FSR logo. I will not allow anyone to
besmirch the logo. The other day Brian Finley tried to
split a logie at the logo and I stopped him,
so I protected the logo.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Ready, No Lugi's on the logo, is what I said.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
And that's exactly That's exactly how it went down. Let's

(35:41):
Jack Dundee from Milkman, Mike and Colorado Principal Skinner from
Fergcat the Feline page down Rockabelly Rebels says, congrats to Roberto.
Who else do we have? Let's see you can't read that.
Brian Westbrook from Robin, Minnesota. Zach Ertz tossed up by Stevie,
(36:01):
Meatball's Hawkeye Peers from Jimmy and Maine. Mariano Rivera from
Shane of Des Moines. Frank Gorgues by Johnny Ray spider
Ham from alf the alien O Piner Eddie, do you
have an answer, Matt the Warrior Raider fans is Herbie's
cooler brother Snake.
Speaker 5 (36:21):
I'm gonna say it is a former New York Giants
legend Frank Gifford.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
Fine answer and completely wrong. The can I guess? Yes? Yes?
Is it Brian Westbrook? It is not. It is Darren Sprolls.
Remember Darren Sprolls.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
Really good player, played a long time for the San
Diego Chargers and the Eagles and the Saints.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
So here we go. Let's get to it right now.
Speaker 4 (36:47):
How about to the third degree?
Speaker 1 (36:51):
This is gets grilled Coop dal Lou justin Coop.
Speaker 6 (36:57):
New Commander's owner Josh Harris was asked how much time
Ron Rivera will get in Washington. Harris didn't really give
an answer, but he did go on to praise Rivera
while also saying, we ultimately need to deliver wins on
the field. Ben, how good do the commanders need to
be in order for Rivera to keep his job.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
They're not going to reach the standard that is required.
Ron Rivera is a Dan Snyder guy. You can't get
rid of that stank. He's taken up residency in Washington.
Because of Danny Boy and Josh Harris spent a gazillion
dollars to buy that football team, and you're allowed to
pick the drapes when you make that kind of do
and spend that kind of money. And Rivera has till
(37:35):
the end of the season at the most, and then
it's sayin Nara Aloha means goodbye.
Speaker 6 (37:40):
Next von Miller will be starting the season on the
pup list, thus missing the first four games despite having
his knee medically cleared. He told the media on Wednesday
that it was not his decision, but he trusts the
Bills organization completely.
Speaker 5 (37:54):
Ben Was this the right move by Buffalo?
Speaker 2 (37:56):
Well, yeah, it's like threading you. Von Miller is pasted
his salad days. We're trying to squeeze as much juice
out of that fruit as you can. The Bills need
him late in the year. They don't need him right now.
They need him late in the year, and they think
this is a way to do it.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
Good luck on that next.
Speaker 6 (38:09):
Troy Aikman revealed that he almost came out of retirement
to play for the Dolphins in two thousand and three. Ultimately,
the GM decided not to go with Aikman instead, it
was a Jay Feeler who went ten and six. Do
you think Akman would have done better?
Speaker 2 (38:21):
No, he would have sold more tickets. He's a bigger name, obviously,
but Aikman. I saw him at the end with the Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
He was done. No, it wouldn't have worked. How do
we do, Cubolo? You pass this edition? That is a win.
You can put it on the bar. I want I
ended the week with a win. I want Eddie
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's our two of the Ben Mahler Show, and it
is all about Joe Cool Cincinnatis, newest celebrity, newest aristocrat.
What are your initial thoughts on Joe Burrow winning the
Wheel of Fortune from the Ben Gals?
Speaker 1 (00:17):
You got a massive contract.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
And what did you think of the timing of the
Borough contract reveal?
Speaker 1 (00:25):
And what is the lesson? Is there a lesson from Joe.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Burrow becoming the gold standard for quarterback money in the NFL?
This is a pretty good lesson from the Joe Burrow story.
Not a lot of people are talking about it, but
we will here. It is our number two, the King
of the Benals. Welcome in the beginning of another hour
(00:51):
of the Ben Mahler Show.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
We are in the air everywhere.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Benfellows, as we say, can you dig its coast, border,

So a lot going on in our little world. At
(01:36):
a Thursday night NFL game, and congratulations to the Motor
City Kitties. The Detroit Lions get her done, Honolulu Blue,
how do you do as the Lions going to Arrowhead
and take advantage of some butterfingers by Kansas City's Kadarius
Tony and the Lions get the win. They were the
(02:00):
beginning of the week a six and a half point dog.
It ended up at four and a half or five
because Travis Kelsey did not play in that game.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
But the win goes to the Detroit Lines. More on
that later.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Our lead this hour coming from Mana Mani. The NFL
has produced another powerball winner, big doings out of a
Buckeye state. If you have not heard by now, you
might have missed it because this news came down in.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
A very odd time.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
We learned that Joe Burrow has agreed to a record
setting contract. No more twiddling of his thumbs waiting to
sign the deal with the ben Gals. It has happened,
we are told by those that claim to know that
Burrow will get a five year contract in the limelight.
(02:49):
There two hundred and seventy five million dollars, and really
what that is is, well, it's a lot of funny money.
The most important part is the guaranteed part, and that's
two hundred and nineteen million dollars of guaranteed money. Joe
Burrow can go out and just blow and he's going
to get two hundred nineteen million dollars. Unless he violates
(03:11):
the morals clause in his contract, well then he won't.
But Burrow the highest paid player in NFL history at
this moment.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
He is a reminder.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
In the newsroom at the Old Gossip website I started
years ago, we had two mantras and one of those
mantras was a rumor is just a fact until it
has yet to be discovered. The fact that has yet
to be discovered. And today's rumors are tomorrow's news. Right,
Those were the two mantras.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
That we followed.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
And the other night there was a rumor bouncing around
that Joe Burrow was about to get paid, and here
we are, he does get paid, and so it is true.
Now that had been the gossip, and now the gossip
is reality. So let's discuss the question what are your
initial thoughts on Joe Burrow's wheel of fortune in Cincinnati?
Speaker 3 (04:02):
So I have barnyard, fumble, roost que, and minute made,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we'll try to break into a smile.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
We'll try to break into a smile.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
So, first of all, all right, this is a big
step for the Bengals, like Big senf anyway, give that
kind of do out to anybody, but the Bengals in particular.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
I don't know how old you are, I don't know
how long.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
You've been following the NFL, but at my age, if
you're around my age, the Bengals have always been the
epitome of cheap right shoe string budget, paycheck to paycheck.
It's the family business. So have times changed? Is this
the bar mitzvah for the Cincinnati Bengals? Have they matured now?
(04:51):
Mike Brown taking a sledgehammer to his reputation?
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Is it no more el chiapo in the ne.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Someone needs to check the barnyard because I was told
when I was younger that if the Bengals ever had
the highest paid player in the NFL, that pigs were
going to start flying and chickens would have teeth and
all those things would be true.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Horses would start talking. So maybe that's all happened down
at the barnyard. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
But Joe Burrow is twenty six years old and he
is now aristocrat rich. Wonderful, wonderful, What a wonderful thing.
That is a great mitzvah. So secondly, now not only
do you have the announcement of the money, which is craziness, man,
but the news of Joe Burrow's lottery win breaking after
(05:43):
shortly after we had kickoff of the opening game of
the NFL season, the Chiefs and the Lions of game,
Detroit upset Kansas City. Now that was unusual, is the
word I will use.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Unusual.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Kansas City is the biggest rival of Joe Burrow and
the Bengals. So what did you think of the timing
of the Joe Burrow contract reveal which was conveniently leaked
right around the kickoff of the Thursday night NFL opener.
So I have one word to describe the Joe Burrow timing,
(06:22):
and that is fiasco.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
That is my word.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
These Schmendricks should hire one of my bosses. They should
hire Don Martin, one of the czars of FSR. Right,
what is my boss always said, I repeat this guy
all the time. One of the lines he told me
years ago.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Don't bear the lead, my man, don't bear the lead.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
You hit the good news. The Bengals buried the lead, Like,
what are you doing? That's a Thursday night news dump.
That's takeout the trash night, is what it is. Ninety
nine percent of the NFL world was locked in, captivated
by the Chiefs and the Lions. The other one percent
were sleeping. They were certainly ignoring other stuff other than
(07:03):
the game, and so you ended up zigging when you
were supposed to zag. Bad job by you. That is
a thumbo ruski is what that is. Failing to collect
your flowers, Like the Bengals have not been there before.
You know, you're supposed to act like you've been there before.
The Bengals haven't been there before. What if the Bengals
paid anybody? I mean, it's just the facts, man, just
(07:24):
the facts.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
When if they paid anybody, yeah, maybe they did.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
At some point I must have blocked it out of
my memory. But who does that You get a big story.
It makes you look like you're not a bunch of
tight wads, and you announce it during a Thursday night
NFL game, a big Thursday night game to begin the season.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
That's bad storytelling. Who goofed?
Speaker 2 (07:47):
I've got to know the Bengals have had so many
cobwebs on the purse strings that they should have been
doing a pirouette on the catwalk and just announced this
on a Well. I wouldn't even announced it on a Friday.
I would have waited till till Monday. I guess they're
kind of in a pickle because they had to get
it in before the Bengals play on Sunday. But still
(08:08):
a Thursday night. This is supposed to be a watershed
moment for the team and a few people are going
to realize what happened, all right? Final thought, So there's
one other thought I had on this Burroughs story. And
we're heart to heart here, not exactly heart to heart,
but I'm talking, I mean your ear drums. So, what
(08:30):
is the lesson of Joe Burrow now becoming for this
chapter of the football world a gold standard when it
comes to quarterback money, the gold standard. So this is
a teachable moment. Joe Burrow has overcome the eyes. Now
he was the number one packy. Originally went to Ohio State,
(08:52):
got bounced out of there, ended up playing at LSU.
But it's like people used to about Tom Brady being
a Cinderella Michigan. At the time Brady went to Michigan,
Michigan was one of the powers of college football.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Now they're back being a college football power, but.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
They're not recruiting shop Liver and Joe Burrow going to
Ohio State. Originally, you're not as stiff if you get
recruited to play at Ohio State and then going to
LSU and doing what he did. But the teachable part
of this is that Burrow he overcame the odds in
the sense that he could have had a hissy fit
(09:26):
because he was drafted by Cincinnati, And it's in vogue
now to have this defeatist attitude. If you get drafted
by a crap house team, you know, woe is me.
The Bengals franchise has for the most part been like
residing in Chernobyle. It's a nuclear fallout zone in Cincinnati
for pro football, and Joe Burrow walked the path less
(09:50):
travel and was able to navigate all of the vipers
and all the other critters on that path, and it
was a franchise awakening journey. The previous four years before
Joe Burrow walked in to the Bengals locker room, Cincinnati
had played sixty three games. They had lost forty two
(10:13):
of those games.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
And nobody is.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Going to confuse Zach Taylor, who is the coach and
still is the coach.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
When Joe Burrow walked in there.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
No one's going to confuse Zach Taylor with Andy Reid,
Bill Belichick or Mike Tomlin or Sean McVay. But Burrow
did not sulk. As far as we know, he didn't
have a pity party. He rolled up his sleeves, he
got his hands dirty, and for that he's the minute
made man. Right when life gives you lemons, I heard
this one as a kid make lemonade.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
And that's a.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Bit of a rather obvious f you to Caleb Williams,
whose daddy is already tossing out the possibility that he
might not go to the NFL in implying that if
the Arizona Cardinals get the number one pick, he'd be like,
I'm gonna go back to sc and get that nil money.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
But Joe Burrow has proven.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
You can make it work in a real, real dark
place like Cincinnati's locker room. If you're good enough, you
can figure it out. You didn't have the greatest coaches
in the world and the greatest teammates.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
In the world.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
And Joe Burrow's been rather remarkable as the quarterback in Cincinnati.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
But what do I know. I just do the the
Overnight show. Here, it is the Ben Mahlor Show.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
And if you'd like to be part, we talking about
that or the fact that the Kansas City Chiefs now
have the worst record in the NFL, and we already
had a guy calling for Andy Reid's job last hour

It is the Coop Scoop on entertainment to get you
ready for your weekend of TV and movie watching and
not live from the time dot Com now Hold Sports
Radio Studios. It's Ben Maller.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Now you get if Coop does not include Benny Versus
the Penny on the Coop Scoop on Entertainment heads are
gonna roll, Eddie.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Heads are gonna roll.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
I mean, that's the number one show everyone's talking about
in America. People don't even gamble, Eddie. It's not even
see the weird thing about Benny Versus the Penny. I
was telling one of the producers over the show. I
was like, it's not really a gambling show.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
It's just us using like bull.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Crap and then we kind of give picks in the
bull crap. That's kind of what it is. That's the recipe.
Like a lot of these like I like gambling on
like you know, I'm better, but a lot of these
gambling shows are so boring. If this show is boring,
I don't want to do it. I want to do boring, Eddie.
I don't want to do boring.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
I just wanted to point that out it.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
Thank you. You feel better now now I felt fine, Coop,
you feel pressure to uh yeah, I include this because
I'm pretty sure you didn't have this in the No.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Of course he had that in there. What are you
talking about?
Speaker 2 (15:12):
He saw the press release and all that now what
you know, man, I I got brigadier generals all over
the place who are sending me in reports. It's like
the show's on at all different times. I got Michael,
who's this massively important attorney in New Jersey, but he lives,
you know, in the southern part in your Philly, and
he's been a big support of the show over the years.
(15:33):
And yeah, he gives me like free legal advice that
would cost me thousands of dollars to pay an attorney
at law. And he looked it up and he said,
like in Philly, the show is going to air at
eleven thirty tonight, so that's right after the birds Huddle.
I think we'll get better ratings in the birds huddle.
I think on that that NBC thing in Philadelphia.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
So do we do we have any idea when the
first official showing will be in? Where to have any
clue about that?
Speaker 1 (16:01):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
I was told it's going to air at three point
thirty in the afternoon somewhere on the East coast, which
would be twelve thirty our time on the West coast,
but I don't.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
I don't know where.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
Well, unfortunately, I recorded Koop Scoop a couple of days ago,
so we're just playing that.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Yeah, no, no, this actually works out well because there's
no new content coming out of entertainment. It's all been
shut down because of the strike, which has gone on
for twenty years now. Hollywood's been shut down, so there's
no news things other than documentaries to talk about.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
So I just want to I just want to point
that out. We begin this hour with Joe Burrow.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
He got paid, and just to recap my take, My
take was very simple that Joe Burrow did the ultimate
few to all those people that said you gotta get
drafted by a certain team. You're doomed to fail if
you get drafted by a terrible team. Now, the odds
say most of the time you are doomed to fail
if you get drafted by a terrible team. But but
(17:03):
we would like to point out that bro when he
went to Cincinnati, they were dreadful for for the last
four years before he got there, and they stunk the
first year he was there. And he's made it work
and he was able to convince those nimrods who run
the Bengals to actually pay him a ton of money,
a ton and ah my god, so much.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Money scene amount of money.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Let's go to the phones and let's see who do
we have a meanie miney. Let's go to Chicago, where
the Deep Dish pizza is delicious and the takes and
the callers are even better.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
The big Dog. No, no, that's big dog right there.
Speaker 7 (17:46):
Yeah boy, listen, man, you're gonna have to call your
friend Michael and get some legal advice, because I am
charging you with the high crime, treasonous crime of caring
the lead all right, the lead of Jowan Taylor tackle
for the Kansas City Chiefs. Okay, first of all, correct
(18:09):
me if I'm wrong. The PGA Tour had a system
in place where if you sit at home and your
lazy boy watching your rug rats run around, you can
call in a violation. Meanwhile, the Juggernaut, which is the NFL,
has no system in place to prevent this guy from
lining up as a fullback all game, A.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Big dog? Are you telling me you have a problem
with the false start? I thought that was allowed.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Now for the Chiefs to have the fall start.
Speaker 7 (18:43):
It got so bad that Chris Collinsworth said, this guy
has been playing slot receiver all game. Okay, thank god,
thank god they lost because this would have been chentuled
on the fire of all the received theory spoken around
on TikTok.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Yeah, well no, but there is. And I love that
you're on TikTok. You're cooler than me, big dog, because
you're on TikTok. I'm not on TikTok. See, you're a
cool guy because you're on there.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
I'm not on there though, But anyway, here's the word. Listen,
all right.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
The conspiracy theory I saw several of the fans of
the show sent me this that the NFL officials allowed
the Chiefs tackle to line up illegally as an equalizer
because the Chiefs were missing two of their.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Top three players because Kelsey was out.
Speaker 7 (19:33):
And all that I have as a side note real quick, Yeah, okay,
the good old boy club of the NCAA Football is
in a lot of trouble because Dion Sanders is already
regarded as a great person by many people who know him.
He's looking like he's on his way to be a
great coach, and there is nobody cooler than this guy
(19:57):
ever in the history of college football, and so wants
these offensive linemen and defensive lineman want to start playing
for him. It's over over, so they might.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Have to shut down Alabama and Ohio State, now, big dog,
because Dion's arrived get rid of the entire Southeastern Conference.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
All right, thanks big dog.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Now speaking of that, and I saw this, and I
asked debating whether to bring this up on the show,
but you mentioned Deon Sanders, big dog, so that allows
me to say this. The SEC commission the Southeastern Conference
commissioner took a shot at Dion Sanders.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Do you see that? No, yeah, tell me, I'll tell
your ma, Eddie, I'll.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Tell you mar So, Dion Sanders has been prolific at
the transfer portal, using the transfer portal to essentially put
a free agent lineup together for the Colorado Buffaloes. And
it worked, not defensively because the defense was biblically bad.
Reminded me of USC or some old UCLA teams that
couldn't tackle anybody but just kept scoring points. But the
SE commissioner, big shot Greg sank is his name, and
(21:05):
he commented on the Colorado Buffalos, and he brought up
the whole student athlete thing, and he was asked about
the eighty six new players because of the transfer portal.
He said, as we're talking about providing more certainty and
security for student athletes. The headline could be a bit troubling,
(21:25):
he said, talking about what Dion Sanders has done at Colorado,
and the implication.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Was that, you know, this is not right.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
We need to curtail the transfer portal, like Dion's doing
stuff that shouldn't be allowed and all that. You know
what that tells me, they're scared in the Southeastern com
deon Sanders is scary the Southeastern Conference. That's what that
tells me. Right there, using the word the T word troubling,
he used the Tayward That Tayward troubling.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
He used it. Here is that let's go to Fro.
Who's in Rhode Island. Hello, Fro, welcome?
Speaker 8 (22:08):
All right. I didn't know you had a Donna the
year over there man before.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
I mean, but that's not just the dog. That's not
a dog. That's big dog, man, that's Fro. That's the
big dog.
Speaker 8 (22:19):
Ni uh So you said, Joe Burrow, could you're talking
about kill Williams coming out next year? He doesn't want
to come out whatever, because you just want to go
to Arizona. You don't think that has something to do
with it. He got hurt in his rookie year, and
then he convinced the Bengals to take his college teammate,
(22:39):
Jamal Chase.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Yeah, well it was Kyler Murray in Arizona.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
They brought in what Hollywood Brown, didn't they or not?
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Who's the receiver? They got his buddy.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
They picked up a receiver that was yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
so yeah, all I'm saying here fro is Joe Burrow
went to a total crack house in Cincinnati, and now
the Bengals are one of the contenders in.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
The a f C every year. And he convinced.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Imagine working for a business that never pays anybody top
dollar and he's so good. The Bengals are like, this
is the guy we gotta pay. We don't pay anybody.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
This is the guy.
Speaker 8 (23:17):
Yeah. I'm a Dolphins fan, so I know we were
trying while we had us face. He's a defensive coordinator
for Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Now, oh he's in Minnesota. Actually he moved to the Vikings.
Speaker 8 (23:29):
Now, yeah, well we were trying to get borrowed with.
We were trying to trade up. Now we got to
obviously we gota.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
You know what I mean. Are you happy about that? Bro,
are you happy about too?
Speaker 7 (23:42):
No, I uh no, I'd rather have Herbert.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Yeah, we'll see.
Speaker 8 (23:50):
We'll see Sunday. We'll see Sunday.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Yeah, I got you. That's a big game and I
was at that game last year. I might go to
the game on Sunday. I don't know if I'm going
or not. I have to catch her that, yeah I should.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
But yeah, that is a bit of a trip. But
if you start driving right now, you still won't make it.
But you get close, you get close. All right, Thank you, bro.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
All right, keep an eye on that. It is the
Ben Mahlor Show.

Now Brian Finley was working tonight instead of me, he'd
be telling you about Cocoa golf moving into the finals
there at the US Open tennis thing tennis. Yeah yeah,
But now I'd rather tell you about the protesters that
were at the Arthur Ashe Stadium there in New York.
There were four protesters in the match. They were environmental activists.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Yeah yeah, So.
Speaker 5 (26:26):
Three of them went on to the court and they
were removed. But there was one protester that, uh it,
well took him a while to get him out of
the arena. That was because he glued his bare feet
to the uh concrete floor.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
That's that's a that's a trick, those those environmental people.
Remember the Minnesota woman, the Timberwolves woman, if she glued herself.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
Yeah yeah, yeah, So they had to call like medical
personnel to uh, I don't know, remove his feet.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
It's certain Middle Eastern countries. They just chopped the chopped
the feet off.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
Yeah yeah, they did. They did not do that. They
did not they did not do that, Okay, but it
did delay the match almost an hour.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
What kind of glue was used? Was it gorilla?
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Elmer's apparently I was an Elmer's glue guy when I
was in school.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
I used to Yes, I.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Ate I ate a lot of elmer I ate a
lot of Elmer's glue. It was great because I would
use it. I would pour it all over my hands
and we were doing like arts and crafts, and then
I'd wait a little bit and dried pretty quick, and
then I'd have fun peeling it off.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
And sometimes I'd take a little nibble of the glue.
Speaker 5 (27:28):
That's really disgusting.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Yeah, it's kind of like I like the smell of.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Gas when I go to the gas station.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
I love that smell.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
I feel very masculine gas. Yeah, well, not that that
kind of gas. Appreciate that, but it depends I it's
your own.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
You always appreciate your own. Have you noticed that you
kind of appreciate but the other people's usually not that
I know.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
Roberto used to make that comment occasionally. He enjoyed his own.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Oh yeah, breaking news.
Speaker 5 (27:59):
By the way, I know.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
I know Roberto Flora is big news, old comrade. I
told Roberto Eddie.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Yeah, I told Roberto, I said, you're like Tom Brady
fair hard to replace Roberto Flores, but he's he's finally passed.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Roberto is all grown up. Now, he's all grown up.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
He'll be left here a bus near you.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Ten years ago he left, but he finally passed the test.
So congratulations to Roberto and got a lot of you
boys that drive trucks and you know how hard it
is here.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
It can be difficult to pass that test.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
But Roberto will be driving around those little elementary school
punk kids probably throw spitballs at him and all that.
Speaker 5 (28:41):
Now they're too busy on their phones, they don't do that.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
That's a good point. Yeah, yeah, that's a fair point.
That congratulations of Roberto. We're happy he is something he
wanted to do.
Speaker 5 (28:49):
And you'd have swung and missed on the third pitch
there you gotta start all over again. But that doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
He passed the test.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Yeah it's a little tough, so good life to Roberto
as he pursues the next chapter in his professional career.

Peyton Pittsburgh's eyes OI and Double Oi, and the Steelers
in their locker room there they've got a really really
cool logo right in the middle of there, the Steelers
iconic logo right there, beautiful and people were just walking.
(30:04):
It was like a stampede over the logo in the
locker room. So Minka Fitzpatrick was so bothered by this,
he was so annoyed by this, and he's such a
perfectionist that he demanded that his comrades in the locker
room stop defacing the Steeler logo right in the middle
of the locker room. So he said, you know what
(30:27):
I'm doing. We've had this policy and all that. You
can't you know, you can't do it.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
But he put around the logo.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
He went to extreme measures here to protect the logo,
and he you know those things when you're online. I
don't know what they're called here, uh, partitions kind of,
but you know those you're in line and they've got
the straps on them, you know what I'm talking.
Speaker 5 (30:51):
About when you're at like a ballgame and.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
The Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
So he wrapped the logo around around the logo. He
put these up so nobody could walk.
Speaker 5 (31:01):
Over this in hockey lot, Ben, it's a very very
particular do not step on the logo when you're in
the hockey locker room. They get very upset about that.
And my thing is, if you don't want it stepped on,
don't put it.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
On the floor. Yeah, but he said, you have to keep.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Keep it clean, the logo, and I just want management
this coming in now. I I feel the same way
about the FSR logo. I will not allow anyone to
besmirch the logo. The other day Brian Finley tried to
split a logie at the logo and I stopped him,
so I protected the logo.
Speaker 1 (31:32):

Speaker 1 (35:13):
So here is the question. After not that, here's the question.
Marshall Falk.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Marshall Falk has the most receiving touchdowns by a running
back in NFL history. Blank is second all time in
this category. Fill in the blank. That is the question.
What is the answer? And let's see does anyone know
the answer? Cowboy Killer going with Monopoly Guy as his answer.
(35:41):
Jack Dundee from Milkman, Mike and Colorado Principal Skinner from
Fergcat the Feline page down Rockabelly Rebels says, congrats to Roberto.

Meatball's Hawkeye Peers from Jimmy and Maine. Mariano Rivera from
Shane of Des Moines. Frank Gorgues by Johnny Ray spider
Ham from alf the alien O Piner Eddie, do you

cooler brother Snake.
Speaker 5 (36:21):
I'm gonna say it is a former New York Giants
legend Frank Gifford.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
Fine answer and completely wrong. The can I guess? Yes? Yes?
Is it Brian Westbrook? It is not. It is Darren Sprolls.
Remember Darren Sprolls.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
Really good player, played a long time for the San
Diego Chargers and the Eagles and the Saints.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
So here we go. Let's get to it right now.
Speaker 4 (36:47):
How about to the third degree?
Speaker 1 (36:51):
This is gets grilled Coop dal Lou justin Coop.
Speaker 6 (36:57):
New Commander's owner Josh Harris was asked how much time
Ron Rivera will get in Washington. Harris didn't really give
an answer, but he did go on to praise Rivera
while also saying, we ultimately need to deliver wins on
the field. Ben, how good do the commanders need to
be in order for Rivera to keep his job.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
They're not going to reach the standard that is required.
Ron Rivera is a Dan Snyder guy. You can't get
rid of that stank. He's taken up residency in Washington.
Because of Danny Boy and Josh Harris spent a gazillion
dollars to buy that football team, and you're allowed to
pick the drapes when you make that kind of do
and spend that kind of money. And Rivera has till
(37:35):
the end of the season at the most, and then
it's sayin Nara Aloha means goodbye.
Speaker 6 (37:40):
Next von Miller will be starting the season on the
pup list, thus missing the first four games despite having
his knee medically cleared. He told the media on Wednesday
that it was not his decision, but he trusts the
Bills organization completely.
Speaker 5 (37:54):
Ben Was this the right move by Buffalo?
Speaker 2 (37:56):
Well, yeah, it's like threading you. Von Miller is pasted
his salad days. We're trying to squeeze as much juice
out of that fruit as you can. The Bills need
him late in the year. They don't need him right now.
They need him late in the year, and they think
this is a way to do it.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
Good luck on that next.
Speaker 6 (38:09):
Troy Aikman revealed that he almost came out of retirement
to play for the Dolphins in two thousand and three. Ultimately,
the GM decided not to go with Aikman instead, it
was a Jay Feeler who went ten and six. Do
you think Akman would have done better?
Speaker 2 (38:21):
No, he would have sold more tickets. He's a bigger name, obviously,
but Aikman. I saw him at the end with the Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
He was done. No, it wouldn't have worked. How do
we do, Cubolo? You pass this edition? That is a win.
You can put it on the bar. I want I
ended the week with a win. I want Eddie
