Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Welcome, It's our birth three as we
put on a happy face, something that Mike Tomlin did
not do in this hour the Original Recipe podcast, Mike
Tomlin Steelers preparing as Justin Fields will continue being QB
one didn't seem all that excited by the news. Does
(00:20):
this count as a vote of confidence?
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Though?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
For Justin Fields, Nikah Parsons says he is not worried
about his uncertain future, saying I know I'm going to
be a cowboy. How does he know this? Is he psychic? Also?
Where is the panic meter on Carolina quarterback Bryce Young
who had a silent afternoon in Nolan's We'll talk about
(00:47):
that and much more right now here. It is our
number three.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Fields of blah well gome in the beig of yet
another hour of the Ben Malors Show. We are in
the air everywhere beside one another. We're open all night, coast,
the coast, border, the border, and beyond on the vast
(01:16):
and lyrically powerful microphones of FSR as we start a
bonfire here emmanating live from the Catch, the catch of
the day. We're broadcasting live from the tyrac dot com
studios tyract dot Com we'll help you get there in
unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free road hazard protection, and
(01:39):
over ten thousand recommended installers.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Our guy slim tim riding along with us here. He
likets that number. Tyract dot com, The Way Tire Buying Show,
b Dateline, the Steel City. It's actually talking at a
meeting with a friend of mine who works in Pittsburgh
and lives in Pittsburgh, and spent part of my day. Yappen,
(02:05):
y happen with the insurer, with the insurer. But we
have an update on the ongoing quarterback saga o rama
from the Burg. So if you have not heard, and
you probably actually have stuff going on and you're not
able to obsess about all of these things, so you
(02:26):
you might have missed it. Maybe you were stuck in
traffic and not paying attention. But Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin
has called his shot. He said, check with me on
Tuesday to find out who's going to play quarterback. Well,
Tomlin has announced these Steelers are preparing as if Justin
Fields will be starting this weekend against the Broncos. He said, quote,
(02:50):
as I sit here today, we are preparing as if
Justin is going to be our quarterback Tomlin told the
Fourth Estate, he said, quote, I think that's the appropriate
way to do it. Speculation is a waste of time.
Russell's hurt. Let us discuss the question. Is Mike Tomlin,
(03:13):
as he said, the Steelers preparing for this weekend's game,
Justin Fields as being QB one, does this count as
a vote of confidence? Does this count as a vote
of confidence? So I've got wrapping paper, Ryan Seacrest, and
VHS tape, and we will combine all of these things together,
(03:34):
and we are going to run rings around your ear drums.
Is what We're going to do, Rings around your ear drums. So,
first of all, to answer the question, does this count
as a vote of confidence for the quarterback Justin Fields
only if you are living in a parallel dimension in
the dimension that I am living in in the multiverse.
(03:56):
The answer is no. This is not a tailor's swift
like endorsement. Mike Tomlin did not say that Justin Fields
went out there. If he did, I missed it. Painted
the mod re lease, I didn't. I didn't hear him
say that. Now coaches are supposed to have a study hand.
They're supposed to also embellish Tomlin. However, that was a
(04:20):
bridge too far, like Justin Fields was adequate. He was
adequate eighteenth in yards per pass against Atlanta doing that
without even attempting a pass over the middle of the field. Now,
I love the Justin Fields Marching and Chowder Society because
(04:41):
they pushed back. We mentioned this in a previous episode
Fanboy Eddie so saw him throw a pass over the
middle of the field. I watched the game. Maybe he
was eating a hot dog when that happened. Because it
didn't happen. He didn't throw a pass over the middle
of field. So the Justin Fields, the people that suck
up up to him, the hawk Ta fans of Justin Fields,
(05:02):
so like, well, the reason he didn't throw any passes
over the middle of the field is because the Falcons
have really good safeties. And I was like, okay, so
someone's got a good reputation, so you don't challenge them.
Is that how you play a competitive sport? Tell me
you're a loser without telling me you're a loser. All right,
(05:23):
So here's the way I break down one week of
Justin Fields in Pittsburgh, and it's gone the way I anticipated.
Despite sexier wrapping paper better wrapping paper. The gift is
the same. He's not an upgrade. This is not an
upgrade for the Steelers at quarterback from Kenny Pickett. They're
(05:43):
running the same offense they did, even though they have
a new offensive coordinator. If you look at the pot
of water in the quarterback room for the Steelers, the
temperature of that pot of water is lukewarm. The offense unexciting, unexceptional,
and it was una. They had ten possessions against a
middling Atlanta defense. They had just two trips to the
(06:06):
red zone, as many touchdowns as you and I scored,
and six field goals. Whoop the damn do now? We
are bummed by the death of Russell Wilson revenge game
like we were looking forward to that because that would
have given us some theater Russ walking back as the
(06:26):
starting quarterback against his old team. That was a game
that we had circled. And it appears, barring some kind
of last minute s sheenany isn't. Maybe Pittsburgh's lying and
Russell will start that game, but outside of that, and
he'll be standing there and picking his nose and doing
organized cheers on the sidelines for the Pittsburgh football team.
(06:48):
All right, Now, second, we moved to the great state
of Texas Jerry's world. How about that Cowboys to Dallas?
We go where Micah Parsons wants you to know that
he is not He is not worried about his uncertain future.
That's right. He does not have long term stability in Dallas.
(07:09):
He said recently, quote, I know I am going to
be a cowboy. So is he a psyche? How does
he know this? How does he know that he's going
to be a cowboy? So he's not a psychic. But
I am a distant relative of Noster Domason, friend of Nostudina,
So I have the answer. Jerry Jones has given him
(07:30):
the double secret handshake, the old hey, the wink in
the nod. I took care of Dec, I took care
of Cene Lamb, and I'm going to give you the look, right,
that old look, the wink. Jerry has been giving some
morbid quotes recently about the end being near and if
(07:50):
you do the math, that would not be wrong. Jerry
turns eighty two in October. Next month, Jones is certainly
in the final chapter of a storybook life as owner
of the Dallas Cowboys, but in the remaining years, I
have come to the conclusion, and it's the only reasonable
conclusion one can come to that Jerry is playing Ryan
(08:15):
Seacrest and he's doing the Cowboys version of the Wheel
of Fortune, and if you're a star for the Dallas Cowboys,
you can just spin the wheel round and round and
round and round and round and round and round, and
you're gonna win. You eat that bonus round, You're gonna win.
Good luck, you get all the vowels, and you're ready
(08:36):
to go. All right. Final thought, we go to Charlotte.
Follow up to previous conversation, we talked about this briefly. Briefly,
I was asked by the kooperloop when will the Panthers
win a game? Like, when's the next chance for them
to win a game? And the answer is not to
win a game, just to cover the spread, and that
that appears to be a way's way. Although I haven't
(08:58):
really handicapped that game yet, I got to put that
on the big board. Although I doubt that will be
a featured game on this week's episode of Benny Versus
the Penny. I would be shocked if Chargers Panthers ends
up as a highlighted game on the TV show, but
who knows? Who knows? So after that puke debut by
Bryce Young for the Panthers, I bring this up because
(09:19):
Dave Canalis, the head coach, made some comments and he
attempted to shift the blame.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
To who.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
The coaching staff. The coaching staff, and there's an old
saying in football t either the coach or the quarterback.
So in this case, he's saying it's the coaching staff.
But where is the panic meter on Carolina quarterback Bryce Young?
Where's the panic meter? So the malar meter of panic
one to ten, with ten being a boiling cauldron, that
(09:52):
you are now living in a boiling cauldron. I am
at an eight. I am at an eight on the
mouth of panic. This was an utterly horrible performance. There
is literally nothing redeeming about that game for Bryce Young,
for the Carolina Panthers defense across the boards, but we're
(10:15):
focusing on Bryce Young. And I had a flashback, and
if you're around my age, you'll get this reference. If not,
just google it. But that performance reminded me of when
I was a child and they used to have these
things called VHS tapes and NFL films would send out
every couple of years. The video that was called the
(10:37):
Super Duper Football Follies, and that was the Carolina Panthers.
That was the Keystone Cops out there running around, running
into each other. It was wild. Tell me you're a
terribly coached team without telling me you're a terribly coached team.
The malor report card for that game, I give it
an I rating. It had a high ick factor and
(10:59):
the fact of just how bad this guy was. Bryce
Young Alabama and Alabama quarterback. So he finished the game
with a passer rating of thirty two point eight, had
a couple of interceptions, would have been more efficient. Would
have hear me out on this. He would have been
more efficient, Bryce Young, if you had taken every single
(11:20):
snap and just spiked the ball right into the turf
at the Dome there in New Orleans. He would have
had a passer rating if he had done that of
thirty nine point six, which would have been higher than
the passer rating that he finished with. And it's a
double whammy because not only did he suck and you
have that first chance to show people that you're different,
(11:41):
but then you've got Dave Canalis, who was brought in
as the quarterback whisperer. This guy fixed Baker Mayfield and
Gino s meant that he's so good. Well, I hope
he has a password to a website that sells witchcraft,
because he's gonna need some witchcraft at this point. From
what I saw of Bryce Young and the Saints, they're
(12:06):
in that middling category of NFL team. They're not a
good team, They're not a bad team. There's somewhere in
the middle. And he got out coached by a guy
that's on the hot seat, mister Allen there for New Orleans.
I'm talking about Dave Canals out coached by the Saints.
I mean, it was just a hot mess all the
way across the board. And you can't chalk it up
(12:30):
to not being prepared, being distracted coming off a short week. No,
you had all off season to get ready for the year,
and you chose not to show up. You chose to
not show up to the game, which is tremendously terrible. Anyway,
it is the Ben Mahlor Show, hopefully not tremendously terrible.
(12:50):
But you'll be the judge of that. If you'd like
to be part, you can join us here speak easy
rules are in effect. But you can join us here
if you want to be part and call up and
screen and shout. We'll get through some more calls. Time
now for the Mallor Riddle of the Day. Now, I
was gonna do a different riddle, but I think this
one actually worked better for the show. It is a
basketball related riddle, but it's not really about basketball. Joel Missoula,

the coach of your Boston Celtics, compared the c's twenty
twenty five NBA title chase to try to go back

Celtics trying to win back to back championships here year two,
(13:35):
trying for that second title in a row. He compared
that title chase to blank. That is the Mallor Riddle

(17:42):
And you just gave the recipe out on how to

All right, sir scratch off trying. Okay, that's wrong, you
got it wrong. The correct answer. Joe Mozulla comparing the
celtics efforts to try to win back to back championships
to the Animal Kingdom, the animal Kingdom. He then went
on a rant. Joe mazul, who's got those crazy eyes?
He says, the phrase defending a title is very passive aggressive.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
He said, uh.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
He then pointed out that in the Animal Kingdom, some
of the strongest animals don't defend. They're the most aggressive
and they attack the most. Whether you've won or haven't,
he said, your your mindset cannot change. You have to
understand what goes into winning and losing, committing to the
details on a daily basis. Blah blah blah blah blah
(19:35):
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Anyway,
there's Joe Mozoola. He said, the Animal Kingdom is the answer.
Let's go to the phones Van the one legged Bama
Man who I think sent me an email about shoe
hail Tani, but I don't know. It was a different email. Edgress,
Hello Van the one legged Bama.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Man, Gelong, mister Ben Mallard. Yeah, I tank you. The
email said, I thought, oh, Tommy would be known as
the Brady's baseball player ever after he Boy Tommy retires.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Do you agree? Yeah, I'm gonna go No, Babe, Babe Ruth.
I mean, Babe has been dead for a long time,
but people still romanticize Babe Ruth.
Speaker 7 (20:16):
And oh wow, I was being sarcastic. I think he's
absolutely gonna be seen as that.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Nah, how could he not?
Speaker 1 (20:24):
He didn't he didn't change the game. Well, Abe Ruth
changed the game, Babe Ruth was, I mean, he's ahead
of Ewer.
Speaker 7 (20:31):
He if he comes back as a pitcher, he changed
the game.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Well, you're doing ifs. That's an if. Well, yeah, to
Tommy Johnson. He's not gonna be any good as a pitcher.
He had to Tommy Johnson. He might have the occasional
good start. He's a designated hitter. That's what he is.
He's David Ortiz or Edgar Martinez at this point. That's
what he is. He pitched for a couple of years. Okay,
well maybe Freddy. Yeah, your old guy from the Braves,
(20:56):
Freddy Freeman.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
I'm still mad at letting Freddy go.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Freddy's man at the Braves for letting him go. Also, yeah,
he cried.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
When he came back to Atlanta. That was because he
wanted to be a Brave.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
I remember, I do remember, but.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
I'm still perplexed on this. Uh, who's gonna win the
World Series? My future bets? I got sixteams. I went
over one hundred dollars with I normally don't bet near
that many takes.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
All right, let's do, let's do, let's have some fun.
Let me try to guess what all. Don't tell us, now,
do not tell us. I'm gonna try to guess the
teams that you bet on. You bet on six teams
to win the World Series?
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Yes, what, I have the money. Bet on some more,
but only six will win money?
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Okay, so six? Uh? Well obviously the Atlanta Braves, because
you're a Braves fan. So I now you did not
bet on the Braves.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Do not have the break? We lost another picture tonight?
Speaker 1 (21:57):
All right, well you sent me an bottle Tony, so
I guessing the Dodgers are on.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Your big board. I got the most on the Dodgers.
May the warst Dodge three thirty Yeah?
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Yeah, okay, so I got the Dodgers. Yankees.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Yeah, I got the Yanks.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
That's an obvious one. How about the Phillies.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Yeah, I got the Billy.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Oh braves fan betting on the Phillies. So we got
three of them.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Orioles with your wallet, not your heart. Yeah, I got
a little on the Orioles, but not not to win
any money.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Okay, so that doesn't count.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
I don't think.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
I don't think you'd bet on the Guardians, so I'm
not going to include that you did. Oh okay, I
was wrong. You bet on the ok that's four?
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Uh yeah, Arizona, I got Arizona five.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
I need one more. I don't think with the Brewers, No,
I have uh Royals, Royals, this is a great game. Yeah, Padres.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
I got a little on the Padres, but they're not
one of them.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Oh man, I'm running. You didn't you stop? You didn't
bet on the cheating a holes, did you?
Speaker 2 (23:09):

Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
We are a rolling honest. He's Spaccoli. He's up with us.
He's driving around California. He's from Wisconsin, but he's based
in North Carolina. He's the guy that brought the donuts
and then Iowa Sam wouldn't let him in the studio
and complain that's why we got rid of Iowa Sam
because he wouldn't let Spaccoli into the studio, and Coop
also did not want him in. He's a nice guy.
(24:37):
He was at the Mallar meet greet. He's up driving
around California go into national parks. Supermarket Steve Wright Sin says,
how could sho Hey be the best player in baseball ever?
When he's not even the best player of his generation.
Aaron Judge says, Supermarket Steve has been kicking his ass
the last five years. If Otani wasn't a side show
(24:57):
and couldn't pitch, he wouldn't ever have even won an
MVP Award. Supermarket Steve is right, he did pitch.
Speaker 7 (25:05):
What a dumb comment.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Oh look at Supermarket Steve, Coop taking shots at you
below the belt shot there.
Speaker 7 (25:13):
Yes, I like Supermarket Steve, but you know you've smoked
a many joints.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Man.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
You're couching it. You're couching in on that King Roy right,
since he's also wearing his pinstripe. Aaron Judge number ninety
nine Jersey king Roy writes, since is how do I
tell my wife that I lost half of our kids
college fund with bad investments this past weekend in the NFL.
Speaker 6 (25:35):
But from a distance.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
But I can double what is left and then some
with new investments this upcoming weekend. Yeah, well that was
a question for the King of Hearts. But yeah, listen,
you'll get amnesty. You'll get amnesty. You just take responsibility
of tone for your mistakes and just tell your wife
that you're one five team parlay away, as unlikely as
(25:56):
that is from profit, just one five team parlay away
from winning. And this is the part where I say
you should never bet on parlays. Robbie the Mariner fan says,
I have a futures bet on the Guardians at plus
thirteen hundred. They have a decent starting pitching, good bullpen depth,
dominant closer, and good contact hitting team with good play
(26:20):
discipline which translates in the playoffs. Good luck on that.
I don't want I don't want to. I want to
see a team named after a bridge that's sold out
to the Wokesters. I don't want to see that team
have any success. Have you noticed the teams that have
sold out to the Wolkesters have been dreadful. The old
Washington Redskins are unwatchable, and the Cleveland Indians. They're a
(26:42):
good team, but they're not a real heavyweight contender. Not
a real heavyweight contender. Let's go to the phones, and
I think this guy's calling back from Vegas. Mike in Vegas.
He was at the McDonald's. Wi FI.
Speaker 9 (26:54):
I just watch the movie The Guardian nearly by then.
Uh just keep saying it.

Speaker 9 (27:53):
Let me sing party the other day the other.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Day, that was it was a couple of months ago.
What are you talking about relative to him? He's singing, Well,
(28:18):
you are the life of the party. And they do
tell me you got a hip hop and you don't stop.
You gotta rock till your drop right and you're rocking
till you you're tearing up the dance floor right now.
Speaker 9 (28:27):
Oh yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
We left actually, but let me ask you this now
on a scale of one to ten, Mike in Vegas,
how upset were you that I did not take you
up on your offer? You wanted to take me to
the Belagio. Remember you were going to go into the fountain.
Speaker 9 (28:58):
Yeah, command man, I was tall, my gosh one time,
had a little bit more in the way now and
(29:18):
and I was around Tom mcazi and trees.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
All right, I gotta go, but thank you, thank you
for that. Man. He is completely man hacker.
Speaker 6 (29:34):
Can smell it through the microphone here.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Wild.
Speaker 7 (29:37):
Do you think he would get out of jail faster
for diving in the Blagio fountains than weed man does
for charging his phone on Lincoln.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Yes, because he's in Vegas and I think they're a
little more lean, just us.
Speaker 7 (29:51):
Stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Yeah, yeah, it's it's why he at the Mallard meet greet.
I met Mike. Very nice man. He's obviously got some
some issues to say, say the least. But this is
the part where I point out that at any point
in time, zero point seven percent of the world's population
is drunk. That includes Mike in Vegas. That means it
(30:15):
was about fifty seven million people right now who are
absolutely hammered. But Mike had a bag. He had all
of his worldly possessions with him at the Valor meet
and Greek, which was two plastic bags. He had in
one bag like a blanket. He had mouthwashed, but the
yellow original mouthwash, the Listerine but it was generic brand.
(30:37):
In another bag he had swim trunks. And he said, Hey,
let's go down to the Belagio on the Strip and
I'll go swimming in the Blagio. It was such a
generous offer, it was such a kind offer. But I
turned him down, and it just would have been would
have been been great. Unfortunately I chose not to do that.
And he's been in jail in the hot I'm thinking
(31:01):
possibly from drinking in the mouth washed, but I don't know.
There he is our friend, our guy.
Speaker 6 (31:07):
Is he on the big board of drunkest callers of
all time?
Speaker 7 (31:11):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Well, I don't even know if he's a functional drunk
because he's you know what. It's like a lot of
these guys are functional and they're able to like beer drinking.
Brian back in the day, and we had Billy Ray
from or Jimmy Ray, Jimmy Ray from Tampa Bay, Genie
and Medford. What was that stat that you just gave. Yeah,
zero point seven percent of the world's population at any
(31:33):
given time is drunk.
Speaker 7 (31:35):
So then what do you think the percentages for listeners
of your show higher than that?
Speaker 1 (31:39):
I'm gonna go seventy five. Well, the call, not the listeners, now,
I'm gonna give that. Like the listeners that have jobs.
I've met. These people have jobs, are working their ass off, second,
third job, whatever. They have sleep apnea, they can't sleep.
They're you know, they're married, they they in a relationship
that's not going well. Whatever they're delivering for whatever they do.
(32:00):
They're not the ones drinking the margaritas and the pinocoladas
and all that. It's it's a certain breed. And the
great thing is that I have not given out the
number consistently on the show in a long time, and
still they're able to find it. The people that are
completely sauced are able to find the number. Fascinating. All right,
(32:20):
I need I'm gonna give out the number now because
I need a contestant for too much or not enough.
If you would like to be that contestant, this could
be your lucky day. Come on down. Eight seven seven
ninety nine on Fox. That's eight seven seven nine nine
six six three six ' nine. We will get to that,
and we will do it next.

Too much or not enough enough? Already Right to the
game we go, and we welcome in our longtime p one.
This guy's been with this show many many years, our
guy fast Eddie. Hello, fast Eddie.
Speaker 8 (33:35):
Hey big then Yeah, since the Patriots won their first
Super Bowl, that's how I been listening. What have it
head is? I don't know, I've watched he used that
twenty oh one twenty two.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
Yeah, that's a long time. I can't believe I've been
employed that loll I was actually let go in nine.
So hey, this show is sponsored by DraftKings. By the way,
you knew that, Fast Eddie. Stay tuned because we'll hear
more of DraftKings and all that has to offer throughout
the show. DraftKings. The crown is yours. All right, good luck,
fast Eddie. We love you man, I hope you do
well here, but no cheating. We'll ask you a series
(34:10):
of questions. All you have to do is get three right.
All the answers are either too much or not enough.
Question number one. NFL teams average just one hundred and
ninety net passing yards per game this past Sunday. Is
that too much or not enough?
Speaker 8 (34:30):
I'm gonna go too much?
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Is he right? Yeah? Too much. Team's average just one
hundred and seventy four point seven net passing yards on Suday.
That is the lowest of any NFL Sunday in the
regular season the last twenty years. As long as you've
been listening, actually longer, well you've been listening longer than
that anyway. Question number two for Fast Eddie and the
(34:54):
great state of Maine. What part of Mayne? Are you
in there, fast Eddie?
Speaker 8 (34:57):
Actually, I'm in all to your beach.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Okay, all right? I was in Portland, Maine, but I
was told that's not real Maine when I was there.
That's yeah, next time, maybe next year, if they pick
up the TV show, I'll have to be back there.
Maybe I'll go further up into Maine. All right. Question.
I went all the way to Burlington, Vermont to see Arnie,
so I can go further up into Maine, all right.
Question number two, Alvin Kamara now has forty five games
(35:21):
with one hundred plus total yards? Is that too much
or not enough?
Speaker 8 (35:28):
Too much? Again?
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Is he right?
Speaker 1 (35:32):
No? Not enough? He now has fifty five games with
one hundred plus tony yards, most by any Saints player. Yeah, crazy,
all right? Question number three, There there were six quarterbacks
with a passer rating above one hundred in Week one?
Is that too much or not enough? Fast Eddie?
Speaker 8 (35:52):
Not enough?
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Let's see? Is he right? That is correct? Yeah? There
were eight eight quarterbacks with the passerting over one hundred. Right, good,
So you're you got to right one more correct answer?
You win the game. It could end right here. Fast Eddie.
On question number four, it has been thirty five straight
games since the Bills have lost by more than six points.
(36:14):
Is that too much or not enough for Bill's mafia?
Speaker 8 (36:19):
I should know this one. One of the guys I
work with is a big Bills fan, So.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
Not enough, he says, not enough. This is for the win.
Let's find out. Did fast Heady run the gauntlet and
get it right? That is correct?
Speaker 2 (36:38):
Right under?
Speaker 1 (36:40):
You gotta goll that ticket, you getta all that tech it,
you getta goll that take it. Congratulations, Thank you.
Speaker 8 (36:49):
I'm not sure how many times have won this game,
but I keep on winning.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
You won the game more than Eddie. It has now
been forty two straight games, which is an NFL record
for the Buffalo Bills, which means they're gonna lose by
more than six points on Thursday unless they're not. But normally,
when a stat like that bounces around, the team ends
up losing. So Hey, fast Eddie, thank you for all
your loyalty over the years.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
Man.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
I appreciate you all right.
Speaker 8 (37:15):
Hey, keep up the good work with Denny versus the
Tenny too.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Thank you, God bless you. Remember you gotta watch it
on cable and on peacock, Eddie, I need I need both. Okay,
well I watch it on cable, so okay, well that counts.
That counts. No, No, that's good. Oh but yeah, if
your wife or whatever has peacock watching it on there right,
thank you appreciate Here he goes, all right, our guy
fast Eddie checking in.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
I was trying to get my my my brothers. I
have a brother in Wisconsin. I have a brother who
lives in New York, and I was like, hey, you
gotta watch the TV show and uh, and they're trying
to convince him. I don't think they actually watch it. Like,
my brothers aren't really sports fans. I don't think they
watched the show.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
Like.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
But just I told him, I said, even if you
don't like gambling and you don't like the show, just
help me out a little bit. You know, if you
on the on the on the peacock thing. I was
explaining to my brother, like, just hit the button and
then you can walk into the other room and they
don't know whether you're watching or not. I mean, that's
all I need. Just cook the button. That's it. Button button, button, button, button,
Here we go. Welcome, It's our birth three as we
put on a happy face, something that Mike Tomlin did
not do in this hour the Original Recipe podcast, Mike
Tomlin Steelers preparing as Justin Fields will continue being QB
one didn't seem all that excited by the news. Does
(00:20):
this count as a vote of confidence?
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Though?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
For Justin Fields, Nikah Parsons says he is not worried
about his uncertain future, saying I know I'm going to
be a cowboy. How does he know this? Is he psychic? Also?
Where is the panic meter on Carolina quarterback Bryce Young
who had a silent afternoon in Nolan's We'll talk about
(00:47):
that and much more right now here. It is our
number three.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Fields of blah well gome in the beig of yet
another hour of the Ben Malors Show. We are in
the air everywhere beside one another. We're open all night, coast,
the coast, border, the border, and beyond on the vast
(01:16):
and lyrically powerful microphones of FSR as we start a
bonfire here emmanating live from the Catch, the catch of
the day. We're broadcasting live from the tyrac dot com
studios tyract dot Com we'll help you get there in
unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free road hazard protection, and
(01:39):
over ten thousand recommended installers.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Our guy slim tim riding along with us here. He
likets that number. Tyract dot com, The Way Tire Buying Show,
b Dateline, the Steel City. It's actually talking at a
meeting with a friend of mine who works in Pittsburgh
and lives in Pittsburgh, and spent part of my day. Yappen,
(02:05):
y happen with the insurer, with the insurer. But we
have an update on the ongoing quarterback saga o rama
from the Burg. So if you have not heard, and
you probably actually have stuff going on and you're not
able to obsess about all of these things, so you
(02:26):
you might have missed it. Maybe you were stuck in
traffic and not paying attention. But Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin
has called his shot. He said, check with me on
Tuesday to find out who's going to play quarterback. Well,
Tomlin has announced these Steelers are preparing as if Justin
Fields will be starting this weekend against the Broncos. He said, quote,
(02:50):
as I sit here today, we are preparing as if
Justin is going to be our quarterback Tomlin told the
Fourth Estate, he said, quote, I think that's the appropriate
way to do it. Speculation is a waste of time.
Russell's hurt. Let us discuss the question. Is Mike Tomlin,
(03:13):
as he said, the Steelers preparing for this weekend's game,
Justin Fields as being QB one, does this count as
a vote of confidence? Does this count as a vote
of confidence? So I've got wrapping paper, Ryan Seacrest, and
VHS tape, and we will combine all of these things together,
(03:34):
and we are going to run rings around your ear drums.
Is what We're going to do, Rings around your ear drums. So,
first of all, to answer the question, does this count
as a vote of confidence for the quarterback Justin Fields
only if you are living in a parallel dimension in
the dimension that I am living in in the multiverse.
(03:56):
The answer is no. This is not a tailor's swift
like endorsement. Mike Tomlin did not say that Justin Fields
went out there. If he did, I missed it. Painted
the mod re lease, I didn't. I didn't hear him
say that. Now coaches are supposed to have a study hand.
They're supposed to also embellish Tomlin. However, that was a
(04:20):
bridge too far, like Justin Fields was adequate. He was
adequate eighteenth in yards per pass against Atlanta doing that
without even attempting a pass over the middle of the field. Now,
I love the Justin Fields Marching and Chowder Society because
(04:41):
they pushed back. We mentioned this in a previous episode
Fanboy Eddie so saw him throw a pass over the
middle of the field. I watched the game. Maybe he
was eating a hot dog when that happened. Because it
didn't happen. He didn't throw a pass over the middle
of field. So the Justin Fields, the people that suck
up up to him, the hawk Ta fans of Justin Fields,
(05:02):
so like, well, the reason he didn't throw any passes
over the middle of the field is because the Falcons
have really good safeties. And I was like, okay, so
someone's got a good reputation, so you don't challenge them.
Is that how you play a competitive sport? Tell me
you're a loser without telling me you're a loser. All right,
(05:23):
So here's the way I break down one week of
Justin Fields in Pittsburgh, and it's gone the way I anticipated.
Despite sexier wrapping paper better wrapping paper. The gift is
the same. He's not an upgrade. This is not an
upgrade for the Steelers at quarterback from Kenny Pickett. They're
(05:43):
running the same offense they did, even though they have
a new offensive coordinator. If you look at the pot
of water in the quarterback room for the Steelers, the
temperature of that pot of water is lukewarm. The offense unexciting, unexceptional,
and it was una. They had ten possessions against a
middling Atlanta defense. They had just two trips to the
(06:06):
red zone, as many touchdowns as you and I scored,
and six field goals. Whoop the damn do now? We
are bummed by the death of Russell Wilson revenge game
like we were looking forward to that because that would
have given us some theater Russ walking back as the
(06:26):
starting quarterback against his old team. That was a game
that we had circled. And it appears, barring some kind
of last minute s sheenany isn't. Maybe Pittsburgh's lying and
Russell will start that game, but outside of that, and
he'll be standing there and picking his nose and doing
organized cheers on the sidelines for the Pittsburgh football team.
(06:48):
All right, Now, second, we moved to the great state
of Texas Jerry's world. How about that Cowboys to Dallas?
We go where Micah Parsons wants you to know that
he is not He is not worried about his uncertain future.
That's right. He does not have long term stability in Dallas.
(07:09):
He said recently, quote, I know I am going to
be a cowboy. So is he a psyche? How does
he know this? How does he know that he's going
to be a cowboy? So he's not a psychic. But
I am a distant relative of Noster Domason, friend of Nostudina,
So I have the answer. Jerry Jones has given him
(07:30):
the double secret handshake, the old hey, the wink in
the nod. I took care of Dec, I took care
of Cene Lamb, and I'm going to give you the look, right,
that old look, the wink. Jerry has been giving some
morbid quotes recently about the end being near and if
(07:50):
you do the math, that would not be wrong. Jerry
turns eighty two in October. Next month, Jones is certainly
in the final chapter of a storybook life as owner
of the Dallas Cowboys, but in the remaining years, I
have come to the conclusion, and it's the only reasonable
conclusion one can come to that Jerry is playing Ryan
(08:15):
Seacrest and he's doing the Cowboys version of the Wheel
of Fortune, and if you're a star for the Dallas Cowboys,
you can just spin the wheel round and round and
round and round and round and round and round, and
you're gonna win. You eat that bonus round, You're gonna win.
Good luck, you get all the vowels, and you're ready
(08:36):
to go. All right. Final thought, we go to Charlotte.
Follow up to previous conversation, we talked about this briefly. Briefly,
I was asked by the kooperloop when will the Panthers
win a game? Like, when's the next chance for them
to win a game? And the answer is not to
win a game, just to cover the spread, and that
that appears to be a way's way. Although I haven't
(08:58):
really handicapped that game yet, I got to put that
on the big board. Although I doubt that will be
a featured game on this week's episode of Benny Versus
the Penny. I would be shocked if Chargers Panthers ends
up as a highlighted game on the TV show, but
who knows? Who knows? So after that puke debut by
Bryce Young for the Panthers, I bring this up because
(09:19):
Dave Canalis, the head coach, made some comments and he
attempted to shift the blame.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
To who.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
The coaching staff. The coaching staff, and there's an old
saying in football t either the coach or the quarterback.
So in this case, he's saying it's the coaching staff.
But where is the panic meter on Carolina quarterback Bryce Young?
Where's the panic meter? So the malar meter of panic
one to ten, with ten being a boiling cauldron, that
(09:52):
you are now living in a boiling cauldron. I am
at an eight. I am at an eight on the
mouth of panic. This was an utterly horrible performance. There
is literally nothing redeeming about that game for Bryce Young,
for the Carolina Panthers defense across the boards, but we're
(10:15):
focusing on Bryce Young. And I had a flashback, and
if you're around my age, you'll get this reference. If not,
just google it. But that performance reminded me of when
I was a child and they used to have these
things called VHS tapes and NFL films would send out
every couple of years. The video that was called the
(10:37):
Super Duper Football Follies, and that was the Carolina Panthers.
That was the Keystone Cops out there running around, running
into each other. It was wild. Tell me you're a
terribly coached team without telling me you're a terribly coached team.
The malor report card for that game, I give it
an I rating. It had a high ick factor and
(10:59):
the fact of just how bad this guy was. Bryce
Young Alabama and Alabama quarterback. So he finished the game
with a passer rating of thirty two point eight, had
a couple of interceptions, would have been more efficient. Would
have hear me out on this. He would have been
more efficient, Bryce Young, if you had taken every single
(11:20):
snap and just spiked the ball right into the turf
at the Dome there in New Orleans. He would have
had a passer rating if he had done that of
thirty nine point six, which would have been higher than
the passer rating that he finished with. And it's a
double whammy because not only did he suck and you
have that first chance to show people that you're different,
(11:41):
but then you've got Dave Canalis, who was brought in
as the quarterback whisperer. This guy fixed Baker Mayfield and
Gino s meant that he's so good. Well, I hope
he has a password to a website that sells witchcraft,
because he's gonna need some witchcraft at this point. From
what I saw of Bryce Young and the Saints, they're
(12:06):
in that middling category of NFL team. They're not a
good team, They're not a bad team. There's somewhere in
the middle. And he got out coached by a guy
that's on the hot seat, mister Allen there for New Orleans.
I'm talking about Dave Canals out coached by the Saints.
I mean, it was just a hot mess all the
way across the board. And you can't chalk it up
(12:30):
to not being prepared, being distracted coming off a short week. No,
you had all off season to get ready for the year,
and you chose not to show up. You chose to
not show up to the game, which is tremendously terrible. Anyway,
it is the Ben Mahlor Show, hopefully not tremendously terrible.
(12:50):
But you'll be the judge of that. If you'd like
to be part, you can join us here speak easy
rules are in effect. But you can join us here
if you want to be part and call up and
screen and shout. We'll get through some more calls. Time
now for the Mallor Riddle of the Day. Now, I
was gonna do a different riddle, but I think this
one actually worked better for the show. It is a
basketball related riddle, but it's not really about basketball. Joel Missoula,
(13:14):
let him play, Joe. Joel Mozula, Championship coach Joe Missoula,
the coach of your Boston Celtics, compared the c's twenty
twenty five NBA title chase to try to go back
to back to blank again. Coach Joel Mozzula compared the
Celtics trying to win back to back championships here year two,
(13:35):
trying for that second title in a row. He compared
that title chase to blank. That is the Mallor Riddle
of the day. The answer, We'll get to it, and
we will do it next.

back to back murders, all right, Donkey sausage going with
a hockey fight as his answer, Josh has sloppy seconds
(16:32):
is the way to go finding a commercial without Peyton
Manning in it. From late night broadcaster Bergduck says, Benny
versus the penny chasing back to back Emmy Awards, damn right,

Nick going with chewing frozen gumballs. Oh that's not good.
That's not good. King Rory says, cooking the perfect steak.
(17:42):
And you just gave the recipe out on how to
have the perfect steak. You're not supposed to give that
out on the internet. Eke in Roseville, Minnesota said the
miracle on ice. JT. Wingman from Knoxville, who's been to
the last three Mallard meet and greets, He says, Malard
making peanut butter brittle. I haven't done that since football
season started. I gotta keep my girdler's figure. Who else
(18:06):
do we have? Page down? Let's see here, Mark and

Mizula comparing the Celtics twenty twenty five NBA title chase
too blank.

He compared it to sir scratch Off trying not to
eat a truck stop burrito.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
All right, sir scratch off trying. Okay, that's wrong, you
got it wrong. The correct answer. Joe Mozulla comparing the
celtics efforts to try to win back to back championships
to the Animal Kingdom, the animal Kingdom. He then went
on a rant. Joe mazul, who's got those crazy eyes?
He says, the phrase defending a title is very passive aggressive.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
He said, uh.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
He then pointed out that in the Animal Kingdom, some
of the strongest animals don't defend. They're the most aggressive
and they attack the most. Whether you've won or haven't,
he said, your your mindset cannot change. You have to
understand what goes into winning and losing, committing to the
details on a daily basis. Blah blah blah blah blah
(19:35):
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Anyway,
there's Joe Mozoola. He said, the Animal Kingdom is the answer.
Let's go to the phones Van the one legged Bama
Man who I think sent me an email about shoe
hail Tani, but I don't know. It was a different email. Edgress,
Hello Van the one legged Bama.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Man, Gelong, mister Ben Mallard. Yeah, I tank you. The
email said, I thought, oh, Tommy would be known as
the Brady's baseball player ever after he Boy Tommy retires.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Do you agree? Yeah, I'm gonna go No, Babe, Babe Ruth.
I mean, Babe has been dead for a long time,
but people still romanticize Babe Ruth.
Speaker 7 (20:16):
And oh wow, I was being sarcastic. I think he's
absolutely gonna be seen as that.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Nah, how could he not?
Speaker 1 (20:24):
He didn't he didn't change the game. Well, Abe Ruth
changed the game, Babe Ruth was, I mean, he's ahead
of Ewer.
Speaker 7 (20:31):
He if he comes back as a pitcher, he changed
the game.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Well, you're doing ifs. That's an if. Well, yeah, to
Tommy Johnson. He's not gonna be any good as a pitcher.
He had to Tommy Johnson. He might have the occasional
good start. He's a designated hitter. That's what he is.
He's David Ortiz or Edgar Martinez at this point. That's
what he is. He pitched for a couple of years. Okay,
well maybe Freddy. Yeah, your old guy from the Braves,
(20:56):
Freddy Freeman.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
I'm still mad at letting Freddy go.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Freddy's man at the Braves for letting him go. Also, yeah,
he cried.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
When he came back to Atlanta. That was because he
wanted to be a Brave.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
I remember, I do remember, but.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
I'm still perplexed on this. Uh, who's gonna win the
World Series? My future bets? I got sixteams. I went
over one hundred dollars with I normally don't bet near
that many takes.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
All right, let's do, let's do, let's have some fun.
Let me try to guess what all. Don't tell us, now,
do not tell us. I'm gonna try to guess the
teams that you bet on. You bet on six teams
to win the World Series?
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Yes, what, I have the money. Bet on some more,
but only six will win money?
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Okay, so six? Uh? Well obviously the Atlanta Braves, because
you're a Braves fan. So I now you did not
bet on the Braves.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Do not have the break? We lost another picture tonight?
Speaker 1 (21:57):
All right, well you sent me an bottle Tony, so
I guessing the Dodgers are on.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Your big board. I got the most on the Dodgers.
May the warst Dodge three thirty Yeah?
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Yeah, okay, so I got the Dodgers. Yankees.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Yeah, I got the Yanks.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
That's an obvious one. How about the Phillies.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Yeah, I got the Billy.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Oh braves fan betting on the Phillies. So we got
three of them.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Orioles with your wallet, not your heart. Yeah, I got
a little on the Orioles, but not not to win
any money.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Okay, so that doesn't count.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
I don't think.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
I don't think you'd bet on the Guardians, so I'm
not going to include that you did. Oh okay, I
was wrong. You bet on the ok that's four?
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Uh yeah, Arizona, I got Arizona five.
Speaker 1 (22:45):

I have uh Royals, Royals, this is a great game. Yeah, Padres.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
I got a little on the Padres, but they're not
one of them.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Oh man, I'm running. You didn't you stop? You didn't
bet on the cheating a holes, did you?
Speaker 2 (23:09):

Speaker 8 (23:10):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (23:10):
I ain't got a penny on their house?
Speaker 1 (23:15):
All right, what's you forgot? The one that's fine, it's

Speaker 4 (24:09):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
We are a rolling honest. He's Spaccoli. He's up with us.
He's driving around California. He's from Wisconsin, but he's based
in North Carolina. He's the guy that brought the donuts
and then Iowa Sam wouldn't let him in the studio
and complain that's why we got rid of Iowa Sam
because he wouldn't let Spaccoli into the studio, and Coop
also did not want him in. He's a nice guy.
(24:37):
He was at the Mallar meet greet. He's up driving
around California go into national parks. Supermarket Steve Wright Sin says,
how could sho Hey be the best player in baseball ever?
When he's not even the best player of his generation.
Aaron Judge says, Supermarket Steve has been kicking his ass
the last five years. If Otani wasn't a side show
(24:57):
and couldn't pitch, he wouldn't ever have even won an
MVP Award. Supermarket Steve is right, he did pitch.
Speaker 7 (25:05):
What a dumb comment.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Oh look at Supermarket Steve, Coop taking shots at you
below the belt shot there.
Speaker 7 (25:13):
Yes, I like Supermarket Steve, but you know you've smoked
a many joints.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Man.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
You're couching it. You're couching in on that King Roy right,
since he's also wearing his pinstripe. Aaron Judge number ninety
nine Jersey king Roy writes, since is how do I
tell my wife that I lost half of our kids
college fund with bad investments this past weekend in the NFL.
Speaker 6 (25:35):
But from a distance.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
But I can double what is left and then some
with new investments this upcoming weekend. Yeah, well that was
a question for the King of Hearts. But yeah, listen,
you'll get amnesty. You'll get amnesty. You just take responsibility
of tone for your mistakes and just tell your wife
that you're one five team parlay away, as unlikely as
(25:56):
that is from profit, just one five team parlay away
from winning. And this is the part where I say
you should never bet on parlays. Robbie the Mariner fan says,
I have a futures bet on the Guardians at plus
thirteen hundred. They have a decent starting pitching, good bullpen depth,
dominant closer, and good contact hitting team with good play
(26:20):
discipline which translates in the playoffs. Good luck on that.
I don't want I don't want to. I want to
see a team named after a bridge that's sold out
to the Wokesters. I don't want to see that team
have any success. Have you noticed the teams that have
sold out to the Wolkesters have been dreadful. The old
Washington Redskins are unwatchable, and the Cleveland Indians. They're a
(26:42):
good team, but they're not a real heavyweight contender. Not
a real heavyweight contender. Let's go to the phones, and
I think this guy's calling back from Vegas. Mike in Vegas.
He was at the McDonald's. Wi FI.
Speaker 9 (26:54):
I just watch the movie The Guardian nearly by then.
Uh just keep saying it.
Speaker 6 (27:07):
Come to you.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Yeah, guys, I think he's hit the mo. I think
he's he's on the mouth wash.
Speaker 6 (27:20):
What kind of flavor?
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Yeah? Yeah, what flavor you want mint to? You're going originally?
You like that original flavor mouthwash?
Speaker 8 (27:28):
I like.
Speaker 9 (27:32):
One that.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Yellow yellow Yeah.
Speaker 6 (27:41):
Hm, that hits the spot, doesn't it delicious?
Speaker 1 (27:47):
You want to sing?
Speaker 8 (27:48):
Oh I won't.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Why not.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
Here?
Speaker 1 (27:52):
I think we all need some songs.
Speaker 9 (27:53):
Let me sing party the other day the other.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Day, that was it was a couple of months ago.
What are you talking about relative to him? He's singing, Well,
(28:18):
you are the life of the party. And they do
tell me you got a hip hop and you don't stop.
You gotta rock till your drop right and you're rocking
till you you're tearing up the dance floor right now.
Speaker 9 (28:27):
Oh yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
We left actually, but let me ask you this now
on a scale of one to ten, Mike in Vegas,
how upset were you that I did not take you
up on your offer? You wanted to take me to
the Belagio. Remember you were going to go into the fountain.
Speaker 9 (28:58):
Yeah, command man, I was tall, my gosh one time,
had a little bit more in the way now and
(29:18):
and I was around Tom mcazi and trees.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
All right, I gotta go, but thank you, thank you
for that. Man. He is completely man hacker.
Speaker 6 (29:34):
Can smell it through the microphone here.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Wild.
Speaker 7 (29:37):
Do you think he would get out of jail faster
for diving in the Blagio fountains than weed man does
for charging his phone on Lincoln.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Yes, because he's in Vegas and I think they're a
little more lean, just us.
Speaker 7 (29:51):
Stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Yeah, yeah, it's it's why he at the Mallard meet greet.
I met Mike. Very nice man. He's obviously got some
some issues to say, say the least. But this is
the part where I point out that at any point
in time, zero point seven percent of the world's population
is drunk. That includes Mike in Vegas. That means it
(30:15):
was about fifty seven million people right now who are
absolutely hammered. But Mike had a bag. He had all
of his worldly possessions with him at the Valor meet
and Greek, which was two plastic bags. He had in
one bag like a blanket. He had mouthwashed, but the
yellow original mouthwash, the Listerine but it was generic brand.
(30:37):
In another bag he had swim trunks. And he said, Hey,
let's go down to the Belagio on the Strip and
I'll go swimming in the Blagio. It was such a
generous offer, it was such a kind offer. But I
turned him down, and it just would have been would
have been been great. Unfortunately I chose not to do that.
And he's been in jail in the hot I'm thinking
(31:01):
possibly from drinking in the mouth washed, but I don't know.
There he is our friend, our guy.
Speaker 6 (31:07):
Is he on the big board of drunkest callers of
all time?
Speaker 7 (31:11):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Well, I don't even know if he's a functional drunk
because he's you know what. It's like a lot of
these guys are functional and they're able to like beer drinking.
Brian back in the day, and we had Billy Ray
from or Jimmy Ray, Jimmy Ray from Tampa Bay, Genie
and Medford. What was that stat that you just gave. Yeah,
zero point seven percent of the world's population at any
(31:33):
given time is drunk.
Speaker 7 (31:35):
So then what do you think the percentages for listeners
of your show higher than that?
Speaker 1 (31:39):
I'm gonna go seventy five. Well, the call, not the listeners, now,
I'm gonna give that. Like the listeners that have jobs.
I've met. These people have jobs, are working their ass off, second,
third job, whatever. They have sleep apnea, they can't sleep.
They're you know, they're married, they they in a relationship
that's not going well. Whatever they're delivering for whatever they do.
(32:00):
They're not the ones drinking the margaritas and the pinocoladas
and all that. It's it's a certain breed. And the
great thing is that I have not given out the
number consistently on the show in a long time, and
still they're able to find it. The people that are
completely sauced are able to find the number. Fascinating. All right,
(32:20):
I need I'm gonna give out the number now because
I need a contestant for too much or not enough.
If you would like to be that contestant, this could
be your lucky day. Come on down. Eight seven seven
ninety nine on Fox. That's eight seven seven nine nine

fast Eddie. We love you man, I hope you do
well here, but no cheating. We'll ask you a series
(34:10):
of questions. All you have to do is get three right.
All the answers are either too much or not enough.
Question number one. NFL teams average just one hundred and
ninety net passing yards per game this past Sunday. Is
that too much or not enough?
Speaker 8 (34:30):
I'm gonna go too much?
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Is he right? Yeah? Too much. Team's average just one
hundred and seventy four point seven net passing yards on Suday.
That is the lowest of any NFL Sunday in the
regular season the last twenty years. As long as you've
been listening, actually longer, well you've been listening longer than
that anyway. Question number two for Fast Eddie and the
(34:54):
great state of Maine. What part of Mayne? Are you
in there, fast Eddie?
Speaker 8 (34:57):
Actually, I'm in all to your beach.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Okay, all right? I was in Portland, Maine, but I
was told that's not real Maine when I was there.
That's yeah, next time, maybe next year, if they pick
up the TV show, I'll have to be back there.
Maybe I'll go further up into Maine. All right. Question.
I went all the way to Burlington, Vermont to see Arnie,
so I can go further up into Maine, all right.
Question number two, Alvin Kamara now has forty five games
(35:21):
with one hundred plus total yards? Is that too much
or not enough?
Speaker 8 (35:28):
Too much? Again?
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Is he right?
Speaker 1 (35:32):
No? Not enough? He now has fifty five games with
one hundred plus tony yards, most by any Saints player. Yeah, crazy,
all right? Question number three, There there were six quarterbacks
with a passer rating above one hundred in Week one?
Is that too much or not enough? Fast Eddie?
Speaker 8 (35:52):
Not enough?
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Let's see? Is he right? That is correct? Yeah? There
were eight eight quarterbacks with the passerting over one hundred. Right, good,
So you're you got to right one more correct answer?
You win the game. It could end right here. Fast Eddie.
On question number four, it has been thirty five straight
games since the Bills have lost by more than six points.
(36:14):
Is that too much or not enough for Bill's mafia?
Speaker 8 (36:19):
I should know this one. One of the guys I
work with is a big Bills fan, So.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
Not enough, he says, not enough. This is for the win.
Let's find out. Did fast Heady run the gauntlet and
get it right? That is correct?
Speaker 2 (36:38):
Right under?
Speaker 1 (36:40):
You gotta goll that ticket, you getta all that tech it,
you getta goll that take it. Congratulations, Thank you.
Speaker 8 (36:49):
I'm not sure how many times have won this game,
but I keep on winning.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
You won the game more than Eddie. It has now
been forty two straight games, which is an NFL record
for the Buffalo Bills, which means they're gonna lose by
more than six points on Thursday unless they're not. But normally,
when a stat like that bounces around, the team ends
up losing. So Hey, fast Eddie, thank you for all
your loyalty over the years.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
Man.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
I appreciate you all right.
Speaker 8 (37:15):
Hey, keep up the good work with Denny versus the
Tenny too.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Thank you, God bless you. Remember you gotta watch it
on cable and on peacock, Eddie, I need I need both. Okay,
well I watch it on cable, so okay, well that counts.
That counts. No, No, that's good. Oh but yeah, if
your wife or whatever has peacock watching it on there right,
thank you appreciate Here he goes, all right, our guy
fast Eddie checking in.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
I was trying to get my my my brothers. I
have a brother in Wisconsin. I have a brother who
lives in New York, and I was like, hey, you
gotta watch the TV show and uh, and they're trying
to convince him. I don't think they actually watch it. Like,
my brothers aren't really sports fans. I don't think they
watched the show.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
Like.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
But just I told him, I said, even if you
don't like gambling and you don't like the show, just
help me out a little bit. You know, if you

explaining to my brother, like, just hit the button and
