Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our number fall and everyone's favorite can because quarterback
is coming back. That's right, that news out here on
this Tuesday to a ton of eyelaw is returning to
the Dolphins active roster this week. Says he's willing to
play the odds. How did you interpret that from Tua? Also,

(00:25):
Bill Belichick says he feels bad.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
He feels bad for.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Patriot defensive players after they were called soft by their
head coach Gerrod Mayo. Does Belichick have some kind of
ulterior motives in play?

Speaker 1 (00:36):
Here?

Speaker 2 (00:36):
And Steeler coach Mike Tomlin explained that Russell Wilson's debut
was reminding the media that that's why he's well compensated.
Your thoughts on that as he discussed it. He explained
the debut by saying, that's why he gets paid a
lot of money. Your thoughts will go there and who
knows where else? Right now here, it is our number four.
Have a wonderful Tuesday.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
Back in the pot again. Welmeme.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
In the beginning of another hour of The Benmahler Show, we.

Speaker 3 (01:06):
Are in the air everywhares we give you dialogue all
night talking in a vacuum coast to coast, sported the
border in beyond on.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
The mast and here splittingly powerful microphones of fs are
emm nating live from the tent, the injury tent on
the sidelines. We're broadcasting live from the tyrack dot com studios.
Tyract dot com will help you get there and unmatched selection, fast,
free shipping, free road hazard protection and over ten thousand

(01:46):
recommended installers. Tyract dot com The Way Tire Buying SHOWB.
If we keep doing enough of these mallor meeting greets, JT.
The Wingman will end up at like ten thousand of
these things. But our lead this hour not from Monday
Night football. The Ravens put a whooping on the Buccaneers,

(02:07):
who lost their top two receivers to injury. Chris Godwin
looks like he'll be out for the year, his ankle
was mutilated. And then you had the whammy to the
hammy for Mike Evans of Tampa Baker Mayfield playing like
the Cleveland Browns version of quarterback there not the more
updated quarterback. And then the late game Jim Harboss Chargers

(02:30):
did not score a touchdown and somehow found a way
to lose to Alligator Arms Murray and the car does.
But our lead this hour is from South Florida. We
have a medical update, a modern medical marvel of the
new world. The many said, it's all she wrote, all
she wrote for certain quarterback there the poster boy for

(02:51):
concussions in the NFL. But surprise, surprise, surprise. I assume
you've heard by now, but maybe not. Dolphin's quarterback Tua
Tongue of Ilawa.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
Is back. Quote to Mike McDaniel.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
He tells us that Tua has been designated to return
from injured reserve this week. Tongue of Byloa will have
to pass the concussion protocol, which involves having a pulse,
and then he will be allowed to play in Sunday's
game against the aforementioned alligator Arms Murray and the Cardinals. Now,

(03:30):
Mike McDaniel, the interesting head coach of the Dolphins, said,
medical experts deemed it quote safe for Tongue of Bilawa
to return to play, So he's gonna play, and Sunday's
game will mark six weeks since he suffered the very
famous concussion heard around the football world. Now to a

(03:52):
Tongue of by Law was interviewed and he said that
he has been symptom three, symptom free, symptom free since
the day after the concussion. He had a lot of
other things to say, but let's go to the audio
tape his little taste of Tua.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
What it sounded like.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
What would you say to those that are worried that
you might get hurt again?

Speaker 4 (04:09):
And this is something that's going to continue.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
I appreciate your concern, I really do.

Speaker 5 (04:14):
I love this game, and I love it to the
death of me.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
That's it, all right, And some say it will be
the death of him. He says he's not gonna wear
the Guardian cap on the field. You know, that hat
makes you look like a clown. But supposedly he's good
for concussion. He's not gonna wear that now. Tua also
says that he is willing to play the odds. When
asked about how much risk he's putting himself into, he

(04:40):
said he's willing to play the odds. So that was
the money quote. So let us discuss the question. Tua
tongue of Bioloa, who's back with the Dolphins active roster
this week, saying that he's willing to play the odds.
Got to play the odds? How do you interpret that?
So I've got ad counsel, fish eating, and catwalk, and

(05:02):
we will combine all of these things together and we're
gonna play fetch. That's right, We're gonna play fetch, all right.
So to kick off the festivities, this one is rather straightforward.
It's not that difficult. Tua has been given the data.
He's given the information, and it's his decision. He's weighed

(05:24):
the evidence like a juror. He's weighed the evidence and
made his mind up, and he's willing to take the risk.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
And I say, bravo, this is how he wants to
live his life.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
And I know a lot of us want us to
live in North Korea or whatever, but it's his option.
And if the NFL is going to allow him to play,
if the league says, it's up to you to decide
whether you want to play or not, and he's found
people to clear him to play the game, and he's
weighed everything and he's willing to take the risk. I
don't see what the problem is.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
I really don't. Am I a bad person because I
don't see a problem with this. I don't.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
And for those who I call Princess of paranoia, who
are freaking out over this.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
I will remind you this is his life.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
You do what you want with your life, and you
can stay in your bunker and not go out in
the world and all that and knock yourself out. He
used an analogy to it, talked about car accidents. Say
you get hurting a car accident driving to work and
all that stuff, And the NFL, it's not exactly driving

(06:27):
to work. It's a demolition derby. It's a demolition derby.
And when you play in the NFL, you know what
you're signing up for. If you're of a certain age,
you might know what I'm about to reference here. There
was a famous public service announcement from the Ad Council
that aired for years and years on television and they
need to update it. But it's the one with the

(06:47):
crash test dummies. Vincent Larry Oh throw a two in there.
But hey, if he wants to play, more power to him.
He got paid and to get the full amount of
money you got to play. And if he ends up
in his fifties all messed up, and you know, hey,
he's willing to take the risk, and.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
Bravo for our entertainment. So we can be entertained.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
How nice is that that we can be entertained by
Tua and the Dolphins. Now furthermore, we stay in the
AFC least, and we moved to New England where Gerrod
Mayo famously called his team soft softy mcsoft, They're so soft,
they're warm and creamy soft.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
This after the loss in.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
London to the Jaguars, and Bill Belichick was asked about
this on YouTube spot he did with Pat McAfee and
said that well, Belichick said he was hurt.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
This is so funny.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
Belichick said he was hurt for those guys because they're
not soft. Belichick said, I feel bad for the defensive
players because they're all tough players.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
Close quote. All right, so Bill.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
Belichick says he feels bad for his former players on
the Patriots d after they were called soft. Does Belichick
have ulterior motives?

Speaker 1 (08:06):
Yes? Does a cow give us milk? Clearly right?

Speaker 2 (08:09):
Bill Belichick is delivering a roundhouse kick directly at the
solar plexus of Gerrodmeo. And it's an odd situation. What's
going on here? I get a kick out of it,
Bill Belichick, even though he is gone back for certain

(08:30):
events already to be celebrated by Robert Kraft and the Patriots.
It is clear that the wound cuts deep for Belichick
and he feels he got a raw deal. And even
though Gerrod Mayo was on his coaching staff, he doesn't
think to Rod Mao knows what he's doing, and he's
willing to talk about it, and he's open about it.

(08:51):
Is there any other way to interpret what Bill Belichick said,
because on this side of the microphone, it's black and white.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
It's clear as day. I don't know how else you
want to say it.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
He's sitting on his yacht in Nantucket and it's shot
in freude, and he's got his forty six different media jobs.
He's got his corn Maze with his younger girl there,
and he's doing all of this while pouring salt into
the open wound of Gerrod Mayo. And he's got that
fish eating grin on his face as.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
He talks about the Patriots.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
When the Patriots beat the Bengals to begin the year,
he didn't have much to say about that.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
But now that they've settled in, it's.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Like we say this all the time, you don't want
to play a bad team early because they don't realize
they're bad. But then but by now it's set in.
The Patriots suck. They don't have any discipline. That's on
Gerrod Mayo. And they got rid of Belichick, who was
a hard ass, and they brought in mister nice guy.
Gerrod Mayo's it's gonna be different. Well okay, well you
still suck. But the team now is having fun and

(09:53):
they're posting things on social media and all that. And
and Bill Belichick, even though Mayo is on the coaching tree,
considers it dead wood part of the coaching tree. And Belichick,
as I recall, and it was very annoying doing this job.
When Belichick was coaching the pitches when they did have
a bad moment, he would never ever point the finger

(10:18):
at an individual. Is we got to coach better, we
got to play better. On to Cincinnati and Gerrod mals like, ah,
this seems soft, and they are soft with the Ubiges.
They're soft. As we pointed out in a previous episode
of the show, that is a direct reflection of the coaching.
Either you're allowing it to happen or you're coaching it

(10:39):
to happen. But either way, that's on Girod Mayo. All right,
last thing, we go to Pittsburgh. Follow up, follow up
to a rousing debut for Russell mister unlimited Russell Wilson.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
So Steelers coach Mike Tomlin, that's right.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
He was talking after the game there in the post
mortem on the Steelers win back on Sunday night, and
he was explaining that Russell Wilson the decision to go
with Russell Wilson rather than justin Fields in his debut.
He reminded the media that that is why he is
well compensated. That he was letting the media that's why
he made the decision because he's well compensated. So let

(11:18):
us discuss Tomlin. The answer, my thought is rather obviously
this is a Hey, I'm Mike Tomlin, and I am strutting,
if you.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
Know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
And he's enjoying a moment. He was quizzed by the
way Brandon Marshall, journeyman NFL player, who's now I guess
he's got a podcast, because everyone's got a podcast, So
that makes you part of the media.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
Why not?

Speaker 2 (11:45):
And Tomlin is walking around, he's strutting, and he does
a little turn on the catwalk and he shakes his
little tush on the catwalk and he is smelling himself
a little bit. Why not, hey, for a week it worked.
Long term, neither one of these guys is any good
Russell Wilson. We'll see how it goes going forward. For

(12:06):
one night, you can say that was a feather in
the cab of Mike tom These Steelers did not miss
a beat without Justin Fields. Got to help from the
Jets there, and for now they've upgraded. Mike Tomlin is
basking in the afterglow of the success. It is the
Ban Mahler Show. If you would like two Beat part

(12:28):
you can join us at eight seven seven ninety nine
on Fox. And from now on I will have a
backup or multiple backups on the game shows. I've made
a decision that too many of these regular guys are losers,
like that schmuck, that legally blind blind dope who called
up who didn't have any intention of playing the game,

(12:49):
and it was an act of sabotage, and this happened
far too many times, and because of the integrity I
have with game shows, I am not going to stand
for this either. We're gonna get rid of the game shows.
We're gonna ban the regulars or I'm just gonna have
a backup for every game. We're not gonna allow it.
I'll get rid. I'll cancel every f in game show
that we do. I don't care. I don't need them. Okay,

(13:11):
if you're gonna mess with me, I'm gonna mess with you, understand, Okay,
just so we're on the same page. And I'm not kidding.
By the way, the bosses here would love for me
to get rid of these dumb games. They don't understand
why I play them. But I'm not gonna bother. I'm
not gonna waste my time. If you losers are gonna

(13:32):
call up and sabotage my work, I'm not gonna allow it,
and I don't. If I have to get rid of it,
or I have other people I've never heard of it,
call the show that will call up and play, that's fine.
Otherwise they're done. The games are over, all of them.
Every fin game is over, Every game is done, all right,

Speaker 1 (16:02):
Almost as exciting as your meet and greet next month.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
Kansas City, Come on, here we go case the heartland,
the soul of America. Kansas City, hanging out there eating
the ben malard chicken fingers.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
Are you gonna make an appearance there of arena? I
don't think so.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
You will not be flying to Kansas City. That's true,
you'd probably miss your flight. You know they have good
are They have good bars at the airport in Kansas City.
You can go there and drink at the bar there. No,
probably not. Yeah, but we're gonna be there. I will
be there. I will be the one representing the show
November ninth. November ninth is the date. Save that date.

(16:40):
I don't have the exact time. I gotta go to
my guy, Bob. Bob's the one that's planning this. But
it's at the landing in Liberty, Missouri, probably in the afternoon.
I'm thinking afternoon, sometime in the afternoon, a couple of hours,
will hang out, have a good time, tell stories. All
that rumor is Doc Mike might show up from Chicago.
I don't know if he's going to be there or not,
so we'll see who shows up. But if you're in

(17:00):
Kansas City or within reasonable driving distance and you've got
nothing else going on, you want to hang out. Would
love to see you were at the last one we
did in Kansas City. Man, that I'm saying. I think
it's been now how many years, thirteen or fourteen years
since the last time We did a Mallor meet and
greet in Kansas City. We had Jeopardy Al showed up
to that one. Doc Mike was there. These are some

(17:21):
legends the show back in the day and they were
all hanging out. So we'll be there coming up in
a little bit. Seebe Meatball says, FM games give us
more Malard content. He says, who else do we have
a page down? Alphie alien A Pinter says, I'm not
opposed to canceling the games. These games only cause rifts
between you and the Bennetts. Well, there's no rift other

(17:43):
than they try to sabotage the game. That's the rift.
They think it's fun. Ojo Texto says the only thing
better than outraged Ben on these games is hollering James snoring.
Got to keep the game, So we don't have to
keep the games, Ocho Texto, And don't test me, because
I will get rid of the games. Okay, I will
destroy the games. There will be no more games. That'll
be it. I'm the all time wins king and that's

(18:05):
the deal now. Firt Dog says, to answer the questions
you asked during your Mallard monologue, No, Ben, you are
not a terrible person. You're the kindest, most generous person
I know, and I know a lot of people.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
Thank you. I appreciate that. Chipping the ques right, Sin
says Hey.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
Plus on the Mallard monologue, he says, only bad part
about dropping the game shows is folks like Leslie and
Jack the judge will most likely stop calling.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
I don't know about that.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
They might still call Mike and Dodge says, get rid
of password the word Game of the Stars, no need
for password. He does not want that ever, And that's
all so Stevie Meatballs had other things to say there.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
If we're good on that, what else do we have?
Page down?

Speaker 2 (18:50):
Crash test requires driving on the streets of Florida. Crash
test dummy, he says, I bended did pick a blind
contestant on the random. Poppy has been winning bets for
at least two years. I don't know about that. I
think your math might be off on that a little bit.
But the aforementioned poppy speak of the devil, and the

devil shall appear. Hello Poppy in San Diego.

Speaker 5 (19:16):

Speaker 1 (22:22):
Should do that.

Speaker 8 (22:23):
You guys should do that.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
So what are you going to? Are you going to
Game one of the World Series?

Speaker 2 (22:28):
Your padres, you had them before speating the Dodgers, So
your padres playing the Yankees in Game one of the
World Series on Friday?

Speaker 1 (22:33):
Is that right?

Speaker 8 (22:34):
Well, no, no, but you know, oh, that's right.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
The dog the Dodgers won. That's right, the Dodgers.

Speaker 8 (22:39):
But the Dodgers against the Paters made a lot of records,
a lot of million people. As you were saying, we're
watching Japan and I love Al Tawny. You know, Tony,
it's gonna be Aaron George right.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
No, no, no, no, no, I'll hang you up with you
before you pick the Dodgers. I'm hanging up on you.
He's picking the Yankees as far as working thirt He's
picking the Yankees. Poppy's picking the Yankees. Well, we all
pick our noses. Yeah, anyway, it is the Ben Mallor
show as we roll on, if you look at the
raw numbers, Patrick Mahomes and the eyeball test has not

(23:12):
played very well.

Speaker 1 (23:13):
Kansas City, even though it was six and.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
Zero, Mahomes statistically has not been very good all of
the traditional stats. The Chiefs somehow are winning. So the
nerds have dug deep in the bag of nerd tricks
and they've determined that if you base things off nerd power,
Mahomes is great.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
The offense, Yeah, if you.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
Look at the numbers here, they are fourth in positive EPA.
Eddie's a big fan of EPA. He always talks about EPA.
What Yeah, that's expected points added, that's a nerd stat
seventh in scoring drive percentage. They are fourth lowest punt

(23:59):
percent and second fewest plays.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
That go for no gain or a loss.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
So that is all positive propaganda for Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker 1 (24:12):
And what's the.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
The old line, the famous quote that many have said,
statistics are like bikinis. They show you a lot, but
not everything. There's a lot of stuff that's missing there.
And as Eddie knows, because Eddie used to work at
a stat house, that they'll say, hey, you got to
come up with a stat. I need a stat on
this to make this guy look good, and they would
come up with a stat and so, yeah, you know.

Speaker 1 (24:34):
It's just like Mahomes doesn't look like he's playing all
that well.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
They're winning, but it doesn't look like he's playing all
that well. And there's also that famous Mark Twain quote
that people use stats like a like a drunk us
as a light post right for support rather than illumination.

I don't think Loraina cares at all. And I you know,
I don't give a crap.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
I'm looking for contentity. But the regular season, it's all
about the drama. It's not about the game. Somebody cares
about the game.

Speaker 7 (25:27):
Well, you got two games, you got you're defending champions
Celtics in the Nicks and the Lakers are at home
against the timber Wolves. So the side show, of course,
is Lebron and Browny possibly playing in the same I
feel like, no, they're gonna play. It's scripted.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
Yeah, they have to know it's all scripted. They're gonna play.
They the Did you see who's showing up to watch
the game? Let me yeah, Snoop DOGG. Will you be
there smoking weed?

Lebron and Diddy like the party. He's not available.

Speaker 7 (25:58):

understand that. What else would it be your favorite Costco
father son duo? I mean that would be you. I'm
sure the Costco.

Speaker 2 (26:40):
Well, no, I would say Ham radio, although I wasn't
good enough to be a Ham radio I had to
do regular radio.

Speaker 1 (26:45):
My dad was a great Ham radio operator.

Speaker 2 (26:48):
Let's go with about the holes Bobby and Brett Hull.
You had to pick a hockey name. Of course you
had to go hockey. Couldn't you like Bobby Bond, Barry Bond?
Because yeah, the mccaffreys easy, tocaffreyes so stupid. It is
the Ben Malors show. As we are a rolling on.

(27:11):
We mentioned earlier that Garrett Cole, if you were not listening,
is going to start.

Speaker 1 (27:15):
Game one of the World Series.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
Does that do anything for it? Does that give you
the warm fuzzies? No, they're not not.

Speaker 1 (27:22):
Me former pirate great?

Speaker 2 (27:24):
Yes, and the highest bit. He's still got the biggest
contract for a pitcher in baseball history and one's past
Garrett Cole by Game one all the World Series is
on Friday. The tickets are outrageous. Dodgers still have not
announced they have they're going with undecided for Game one.
And even though Garrett Coles pits. Even though Garrett Coles
pitching for the Yankees, the Dodgers are still favored in

(27:46):
Game one of the World Series a minus one twenty four,
so slight favorite, slight lean to the Dodgers.

Speaker 7 (27:52):
And then you get a week off and you still
don't know who your Game one starting pitchers.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
To go through all the pomp and circumstances they have
to have the news conferences is the media freeloaders will
show up, get their free food that are World Series bags.

Speaker 1 (28:04):
And then they'll they free food.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
They give you a meal voucher at Dodger Stadium for
the media freeloaders, and you're allowed to spend I think
it's like twenty dollars, but you can only spend it
at one spot and you can only spend it that day.
But twenty dollars at Dodger Stadium will buy you like
a bucket of water, maybe popcorn for twenty bucks. Yeah,
the food's so outrageous there one Dodger dog pretty much

(28:29):
pretty much. Well, the parking, somebody say the parking for
the World Series is gonna be like one hundred and
seventy dollars or something like that at Dodger Stadium. That's
the that's the low rate. Somebody text me that somebody
told me that you saw what you saw?

Speaker 1 (28:40):
What the minimum price to get in is? Right? Well?

Speaker 2 (28:44):
Yeah, as of last night, it was a thousand thousand
bucks to get in, but the behind the Yankee dugout
was twenty thousand dollars as of Sunday night, twenty grand
and some luxury box tickets forty five thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (29:00):

of dollars to go but enjoy.
