Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ding dong from dusk to don It's the Overnight Show,
The Ben Maler Show, and a happy hump Day to
you on this Wednesday here an hour three. Are you
surprised that the Texans are dumping wide receiver Deontay Johnson
in the middle of a playoff run? Playoffs? And how
do you sum up a viral fan being banned from
(00:22):
Eagle games and fired from his job for being lewd
and crude to a Packer fan? Also TV ratings for
the college football playoffs semi final, We're down roughly seventeen percent.
Is this something or nothing? We'll get to all of
that as we learn the ropes and scream into microphones
(00:44):
here in our number three.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Bye bye, baby, well gome In the beginning of another
hour of The Ben Maler Show. We are in the
air everywhere, beside one another as we unlock new sporty
worlds minute by minute, coast to coast, border to border
(01:12):
and beyond on the mast and ourageously powerful microphones of

Tire iraq dot com the way tirebind shoeb I know
supermarket Steve has put ten thousand cans of tomato tomato
(01:48):
paste on the shelf over the years. But our lead
this hour is from the high Speed Transaction wire, as
one of my mentors and radio said back in my
San Diego days. But we've learned that a player that
we've heard of has been kicked out of the NFL playoffs.
(02:10):
His team has not been eliminated. We learned the Texans
have said bye bye to Deontay Johnson, bye bye, as
they prepare for their Division round matchup playoff game this
weekend against can City. So I don't know if you
saw this or not. Maybe not, Demiico Ryans, the coach
(02:31):
in Houston, said, Unfortunately with Deontay it didn't work out.
We're on to the Chiefs, taking a page out of
Bill Belichick's old quote book. Now, Johnson, playing only a
few games in Houston, had all of three catches for
twenty four yards in two games after the Texans claimed him.
(02:53):
Johnson off the waiver wire from the Baltimore football team.
That was just before Christmas. So let us discuss are
you surprised? Here's the question, are you surprised the Texans
are dumping wide receiver Deontay Johnson in the middle of
what is supposed to be a playoff run to the
(03:13):
Bayou and the Super Bowl. So I have home depot,
diagram and meal ticket, and we'll put all of these
things together, and we're going to make a well oiled machine,
is what We're going to make, a well oiled machine.
That'll be the first time that ever happens. So, first
of all, to answer the question, are you surprised, not
(03:37):
even a little bit. It is my belief that the
player Deontay Johnson, he's in his happy place. If he's
causing problems, that's how he is wired. That's how he
is wired. This is a player who is better in
theory than in practice. Now, there's guys like this all
the time. I've been doing this for a few minut
(04:00):
and it's so a few years whatever, and I can
go back to previous generations. There's always a couple of
guys like this in every sport that in some ways
are advantaged and in other ways are disadvantage. And it's
a weird, weird quagmire that these teams find find themselves
in because of the talent. Evaluators look at the skill
set and they get a little tangly, They get a
(04:22):
little tangly. They get excited that this guy's got the
repertoire to be an elite receiver in the NFL. And
there's always a team out there, always a team ready
to give you another chance. Right, easy come, easy go.
They leave one team and move on to the next.
And that's the way it goes. All they have to
do is hire the right locksmith and they can unlock
(04:47):
the combination lock and spiler alert, spoiler alert. The code
is impossible to crack if you go down to home depot.
And he said, if I could get a player like
Deontae Johnson at the home depot, which isile, that would
be I think it's Aisle ten where they sell the sandpaper.
He's very abrasive, very abrasive, Deontay this amazing factor. It
(05:11):
so in twelve months the last calendar year, Deontay Johnson
has managed to wear the uniform of one eighth of
the entire NFL. He was on the Steelers the Panthers,
the Ravens, and the Texans. He went a wall in Baltimore,
a wall in Baltimore, had a hissy fit in Houston. Now,
(05:31):
following the playoff win over the Chargers, is it true
that Deontay was huffing and puffing and pouting at his
locker and several prominent teammates went up to him try
to calm him down. Everything's'll be okay, everan there'll be okay,
And he was so upset that he just could not
(05:54):
could not calm down and clearly got carried over into
the work week here. And that has been a recurring
theme around the player and being, as you know, impartial
and completely objective. When you think impartial and objective, you
think the Ben Mathers Show, And so that's that's obvious.
(06:16):
But at a certain point you have to look at
the mirror, mirror on the wall and see that you
are the problem. You are the common denominator in all this.
Typically what happens is you have that happen when you're
done playing football, all right, right now, it's everyone else's problem,
and you're just perfect, made to order, ready to go player,
(06:38):
and it's everyone else's problem. All right now, turning the
page to the Fan Code of Conduct Department, the Fan
Code of Conduct Department, Philadelphia. The Eagle fan. You might
have seen this if you're on the social media pages.
If you're not, you're lucky. But an Egle fan involved
in what is now an infamous video one viral. This
(06:59):
is the cliche Philadelphia Eagle fan, the trope of an
Eagle fan, middle aged, very angry, spitting mad Eagle fan
who was hurling vulgar insults at a female Green Bay
Packer backer. And we have the results of this now,
(07:24):
so I can't say what he said. It was something
about wanting to see this woman next Tuesday, I guess,
but unfortunately I can't say what he actually said. So
he has now been fired from his job. The story's hilarious.
So this guy worked at one of those woke DEEI
consulting firms, you know, the bane of our existence in
(07:45):
modern society. And so they announced, well, this guy's no
longer impart. They had an investigation and they decided that
he is not part of the company anymore. In addition,
the Eagles have also banished him to Siberia. He's no
longer allowed to attend any events in the future at
(08:06):
Lincoln Financial Field the link. So he's out. So question,
how do you sum up the viral fan video leading
to this guy being banned from Eagle Games and fired
from his job for being lud and crude on camera.
(08:28):
So my first thought on this is follow the diagram.
Follow the diagram, Follow the chart. I learned a couple
of years back, and I've seen this many times. As
you can see, the more you f around, the more
you're gonna find out. F around, find out. This is
also one of those stupid quizzes like how dumb are you?
You don't realize the fallout of something like this if
(08:51):
it does end up going viral social media, mob justice.
And this cat was likely so schnockered. How schnockered was he?
This was his hallmark moment. He did not stop even
when the other fan pulled out the camera, the cell
phone camera. Now the other argument is, well, we don't
know the rest of the story, and then the counter
argument is, well, it doesn't matter what happened. You can't
(09:13):
say that word. That's a word, this taboo in American society.
You can't say the C word. Cannot do it, cannot
do it. At all. But this guy and that one percent,
that one percent lunatic fringe of fans. And there's a
lot of these guys. I've been to. I've been doing
an Eagles game in phil I've been to Phillies games
(09:33):
in Philadelphia, so I've seen Philly fans in action. And
there's a subset of zelots that treat everything like life
and death. Now, every fan base has a group. I'm
a Dodger fan. There's some Dodger fans that are on
the spectrum when it comes to that kind of thing.
They treat the Dodgers like it's their gang or whatever,
and they're there to defend to the death the Dodgers.
(09:55):
But there's a lot of guys in Philadelphia that are
just complete schmucks and all that. But this guy ends
up getting doxed, so now he's unemployed. It's absolutely comedy
gold that he's working for this DEI coman. I think
that's the funniest part of the story there. And there's
a saying in business that you're supposed to eat your
(10:16):
own dog food, right, if you sell dog food, you
gotta eat your own product. And so clearly he did
not eat his own dog food. Either that or the
alcohol took over. But it doesn't matter. You're consuming massive
amounts of alcohol. If you can't control yourself, you're going
to end up in a ditch on the side of
the road. All right, Final fun were going out of
(10:37):
college football. Collegent football. Well. TV ratings for the college
football Playoff semi final are out and they're doing a
yoga pos the downward dog. The downward dog. Yes, down
roughly seventeen percent year to year, down nearly seven percent
(11:00):
year to year. New twelve team format, the final four
played out a little bit later in the month than
normal in the past, and now we have one game left.
It is coming Monday. One game for all the money,
for all the money. So this has raised some eyebrows.
So I would like to ask the esteem Padel. TV
(11:23):
ratings again, for those of you are laid here. TV
ratings for the college football Playoff semi finals were down
roughly seventeen percent. They lost nearly seventeen percent of their audience.
Is this something or nothing? So it is something? It's
not nothing, it is something. This is a different animal.
It is experimental, meaning we haven't gone this far into
(11:49):
the month of January, and people over the years, we
all get programmed, we get set in our ways, we
don't want to change, and so it becomes becomes problematic.
So the TV audience, we can all agree on this.
Every man, woman and child can agree that in that business,
and it is a business, right, semi professional football really
(12:10):
pro football, they just blame it's semi professional. I'm fine
with that. For all that bullcrap. The NCAA and their
member institutions deserve the crap that they're dealing with right
now because of years of student athlete they were shoving
down our throats. But anyway, so this is the meal ticket.
This is it, This is the real TV is the
meal ticket. And you've got big brands who have been
(12:31):
in this playoff, some of them known as football schools
like Ohio State and Notre Dame, but just schools that
have big followings like Texas also Penn State football school.
And they all made runs into this thing. And you
lost four million viewers. That's nothing to sneeze at. If
you're running a business and you lose four million customers,
(12:53):
that's noteworthy. Now, before long, this thing's gonna be played.
I had one person tell me the way they're planning this.
They're gonna get to sixteen teams eventually, and why stop there.
Maybe they'll have the top twenty eventually. They'll just play
the championship game the week before the super Bowl. You
know how, there's that dead week, there's that period of
(13:17):
time there's not much going on, so they'll they'll do
it there boom. They'll put the game right there, and
then well the college football super Bowl, if you will,
and then then the following week will be the super Bowl.
But a being bought a boom. We'll see what the
audience does for that down the line. Stay tuned. Inquiring
minds would like to know as the plot thickens. It
is the Ben Mahlor Show. And the only thing thickening
(13:40):
right now is the sound of my voice. The sound
of my voice. Hey, a programming note if you love
game shows, I've been told that we're one of the
last of the Mohegans that play these dopey radio game shows.
We have one coming up a little bit later. If
you want to get online for that, get in the
on deck circle for too much or not enough, you
can certainly do that right now. I will have a
(14:02):
mini malor rant at some point of this hour, next hour,
a pet peeve of mine. And it has happened when
you try to do something right and it goes a
sideways because you're really not trying to do something perfectly right.
But time now for the malor riddle of the day,
the malor riddle of the day, not a sign of
the apocalypse, a mallar riddle of the day. And here
(14:25):
it is lari Ams tight end. Tyler Higbee was blank
after the playoff win versus the Vikings La Rams tight end.
Tyler Higbee was blank after the win versus the Rams
on the wild card Monday. That is the malor riddle
(14:49):
of the day. The answer, We'll get to it, and
we will do it next.

Michaels and Puka Nakula, do not harm vegetables. Let's get
back to the show. That's right, Bill, me and al

his eighties now and he's still going strong. No vegetables,
(17:09):
it's the way to do it. Everything's good there.
Speaker 7 (17:12):
It's probably better for the environment too, less water you said,
you know.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Exactly, And I hate the idea of you vegetarians killing
all of those beautiful vegetables for your little selfish desires,
and vegetables they matter to me and I will not

the daytime. And coming up in a little bit, we'll
(17:38):
have too much or not enough. But here's the malor
riddle of the day rams tight end Tyler Higbee was
blank after the victory over the Vikings in the playoff
game back on Monday. That was the question, what is
the answer? Let's see does anyone know the answer? Lady
(17:59):
Sideburns says he was caught listing Puka Nuku's jockstrap on eBay.
Ferg Dog says he was laughing at all these Seahawks
fans who have suddenly disappeared. I have noticed that, Ferg Dog.
Can we do a wellness check on Nosterdenas, that big
mouth Nosterdenas and JJ in Ranton and crying Craig and
(18:20):
all the other Seattle lights that listen to this show
on the FM dial there all night long, and the
Pacific Northwest, No, they all vanished. They were strutting around
and all that. Where'd they go? Luke the vending guys back.
We haven't heard from him in a while. It's been
a couple of minutes, he says. Rich Aurelia, there's a
good name, Old giant. Robin Vegas says, the answer is
(18:41):
he was streaking through the quad. He made some macarroney
art from the late night drug tester Jay Dot in
Utah says Tyler Higbee was caught at the Blue Oyster Bar. Okay.
Alf the Alien o Pinter says he was booking a
comedy show in Ventura. Oh look at that? Is that?
(19:03):
Is that new? Alf the Unknown comic from the Gong
Show will be appearing in ventur this weekend. According to
according to Alf, there the Crown Plaza Inventury, unknown comic.
Now for us, it's surf for Todd the comedian. That's
our guy, that's our comedian. Surf for Todd the comedian,
(19:24):
who's part of the lame jokes of the week. King
Roy says he was handing out samples and recipes of
his ham and cheese cookies, Brazilian wax. He won a
free Brazilian wax. That's from Milkman. Mike There in Colorado,
who else do we have Page Dawn watching d y
I videos from Donkey's Sausage? That his answer see Chris
(19:51):
and Kent. Washington says he was masticating, is what he
was saying. There has something to do with Donkey sausage.
He was hungry for Donkey sausage. That's from JT the Wingman. Yeah.
Patrick said he went streaking after the win, by the way,
that's DJ spin. Larry D says he was downing Minnie Sodas.
(20:15):
He was robbed after the game. Guess by truck or
Joe circumcised by play it Hot, Play it Hot. That
was their answer there. Who else do we have embarrassed
by Kelly in Iowa's Mountain of Money performance? Well, yeah,
that's that's about right. All right, Laay, do you have
(20:37):
an answer? It's the Mallard riddle of day. Rams tight
end Tyler Higbee was blank after a win versus the
Vikings and the playoffs.
Speaker 7 (20:46):
He was a vegetarian ben.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Oh god, no, no, no, not of it. That's incorrect.
That's by you correct answer, Rams tight End. Tyler Higbee
after the win against the Vikings was spin up blood.
He was speeding up blood. Yeah, you see he suffered
(21:09):
what they call a chest concoute contusion, which is he
got hit in the solar again plexus exactly, but he
got hit right in the chest and and he left
the game. He ended up at a hospital in Arizona
and he was coughing up blood. But they say he's
probably gonna play this weekend. If that was a basketball player, yeah,
(21:33):
if that was a basketball player, we might not see
them until twenty thirty. Hockey player would play, right, Baseball
player be out three months. Football player likely going to play,
and the Rams being Philadelphia this weekend, Eagles coming off
win over the Green Bay Packers, and Higby at least
the early reporting is he'll play. We'll see if he
(21:54):
actually does play. As the Rams get a rematch with
the Eagles eight weeks after they got absolutely stomped by Philadelphia,
will they be able, Well, they didn't ram it that day.
The Eagles did the ramming. Will the Rams be able
to slow down Barkley? You want to make Jalen hurt
speech if Jalen hurts Beach, so that's fine, you want
to make that. And the Rams suffered some some secondary issues. Uh.
(22:18):
One of their key cornerbacks, a kiloh Witherspoon. He he
was injured, and I don't know if he's gonna play
or not. I haven't seen the I don't think the
injury report is out, so who knows. But that's where
we are on the rams. As you can ram it
all day and ram it all Night's go back to
the phones and we'll say hello to Trucker Tony, who's
(22:44):
in Chicago. Hello, Trucker Tony.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
What's going on? Big Mallard?
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Tell me Tony, how Chicago? You just passed?
Speaker 4 (22:57):
But you know, listen to do on my long drives.
But I'm a little bit upset because you know, you
committed the crime and of bearing the league with talking
about McCarthy, right, I mean, yeah, yeah he got fired,
and yeah he's got a job interview going off. But
(23:17):
let's talk about the fact that the Bear set up
an interview with him, requested an interview with him two
weeks prior, and the King of Penny, Jerry Jones, slapped
it down like a net over his food, right, slapped
it down, only to fire him two weeks later, all right,
(23:41):
which is wild. Either he was just being penny or
he was tired of the guy using the Bears as
negotiation tools. Okay, second of all. Second of all, McCarthy's
the best option for the Chicago Bears because he has
a history of bringing the most out of quarterback. He
brought the most out of a certified bomb and Dak Prescott.
(24:06):
All right, the guy gets Tim Williams.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
A year they won play Wait wait wait, they won
one playoff game with Dak Prescott. That was against Tom Rady,
who at that point was seventy five years old.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
Yeah, well you have to tickets. Context of Dak Prescott
is a bomb, all right, Okay.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
But Caleb Williams is a bum also.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
Not yet, not yet, not yet?
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Come on, did you see him play? He can't. He
has no idea like the basic game management, he has
no concept. Do you see the game on Thanksgiving? I
know you watched the game on Thanksgiving? Right the clock
ran out? He had no idea?
Speaker 4 (24:40):
Hyeah, yeah, well he's a rookie. I'm just gonna say
he's a rookie.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
You're giving him, You're You're Chicago's and you're excited, you're trying,
you're trying to be up and here I am being
a buzz kill. I got you. I will see what happens.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
I see, I see a lot of problems I solved
with Justin Fields and him steal. But he's a rookie.
Justin Fields was three years he is doing this all right.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
But yeah, but usually you know, you don't change that much. Typically,
you know, very rarely do you change.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Well, see, we've seen guys change from being very great
in their first year to be an absolute bomb.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Well. The other problem though, the other problem, the other problem, Trucker, Tony,
is that you see guys that will occasionally they're like
fake good, where like Sam Donald was fake good this year.
He was putting on MVP numbers. But you knew at
some point he was going to return, that the glass
slipper was going to crack and he would be the
old Sam Donald. And he was at the end, he
was the old Sam Darn with the Jets.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
Absolutely this is true. And second, about this last thing,
I'm going to say, you are suffering from the very
common condition of the Mendima thing. That mirror mirror on
the wall reference that you used, and it is actually
magic mirror on the wall. Look it up and just
(26:00):
to mention it's magic mirror.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
You can but Tony, that is you're not wrong I
know you're not wrong, But here's the thing, Tony. When
the legend becomes the fact, you go with the legend.
The legend is mirror mirror on the wall, So we
go with the legend. But I you're right technically, like
if you're going to be a douche about it, you're
you're right. But be safe and bring some cold, bring
some like rain. Can you bring some rain and snow
from Chicago? Can you bring that to LA because we
(26:22):
need it right now. Okay, Well it's.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
Hard to bring him in the same container because it
ends up big rain all together.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Yeah, well we need some water. Just bring some water.
There's a lot of fires out here, so we need water.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
Okay, Yeah, we'll talk to you governor.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
No comment, no comment, all right, thank you. All right,
there's a trucker, Tony heading to the heading of the
West coast.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
Actually, Ben, there was a action comedy movie in twenty
twelve called Mirror Mirror starring Julia Roberts and Lily Collins,
And I believe that is what you were referring to.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Clearly fan Lily Collins or whatever name. Yes, big fan,
big fan, one hundred percent. I can't get enough, do
we have a game show contest, Cooper, do we not
have someone here? No?
Speaker 5 (27:14):
That was our first first clear line after that phone.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
All right, well, we need somebody to call quickly eight
seven seven ninety nine on Foxball. We wait for that.
Let's say hello to Alame dea Lou who would like
to do an octagon in the next couple of days?
I believe? Is that correct? Alan oh Ben?
Speaker 8 (27:31):
So I would love more than any octagon that I've
done prior to this one is pretty meaningless to me.
The opportunity to insult someone from Ohio on national sports
radio means more.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Gotcha? All right, So we need a Buckeye fan, a
fire breathing, angry Ohioan who would.
Speaker 8 (27:53):
Like to Cincinnati. Cincinnati is a city in Ohio.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Right that last night? What it is mostly northern Kentucky Cincinnati,
but we'll consider it just across the state line. But
it's really more Kentucky than Ohio. But we will consider that.
So you want to You're you're throwing the challenge out
to Justin? Is that correct? You want to take down Justin?
You sure about that?
Speaker 4 (28:14):
No?
Speaker 8 (28:14):
I will take down Justin, not necessarily that literally, anybody.
I'm not gonna.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Lose this fight, all right, it's somebody wants to take
on our guy. You you love Notre Dame, You've loved
the Irish. You're proud Catholic since you were a little
kid right out of Medlu.
Speaker 8 (28:30):
You grew up fighting Catholic school, Catholic school through and through.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
All Right, I got you. I respect it. And so
you want to defend the honor of touchdown Jesus and
Notre Dame and all that. They're big dogs against Ohio State.
Speaker 8 (28:42):
So it has nothing to do with that. The point
I want to make to you, any Ohio State fans
that is brave enough to take me on, is that
there's a reason that you love college football so much.
Me being from California, there's a reason we don't really
care about college football in California. We have profession little
sports franchises that win championships in the state of Ohio. Nothing.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
So this is a preview of some of your You're
using some of your material that will be a strike
against you.
Speaker 8 (29:11):
But thank you, I have so much more.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
Can you forget to tell you?
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Okay, cheap listening, Coop, let's set that up next couple
of days. Octagon, We'll have Alame too. We can get
somebody from Ohio who wants to defend the Buckeyes and
can bring the juice. We'll make that happen. We're gonna
make this happen right now. Though it's another Ben Meller game.
We've endured too many of these hazy too much or
(29:36):
not enough enough already, and we say hello to Rob
in Maine. Who's gonna play? Hello Rob, Hello Ben, welcome in.
Good to have you. We'll ask you a series of questions.
All the answers are too much or not enough. All
you have to do, Rob, is get three right, you
win the game, you get all five right, we'll name
the game after you for a week. Are you ready?
Speaker 3 (29:56):
Rob?
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Yes, sir? All right? What are you doing?
Speaker 7 (30:00):
I'm to get right now, driving in there, thinking about
going to the BURBA.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
Locked the down with that guy just for Drew Carrey's
on her and I can't stand the Notre Dame football
team to think it about it.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Well, if we can't get a guy from from Ohio,
would be great to have a guy from Maine. Just
attack a Notre Dame fan. A very good question. Number one,
Jamal Murray, it's a basketball player. He just became the
fourth player ever to score forty five or more points
in the game, with no other player on either team
even scoring fifteen? Is that too much or not enough?
(30:32):
Too much? That's correct, that's correct. He is only the
third player to do so, joining Paul Pierce. Heard him
and someone named Joe. Folks have no idea who that is?
Question number two. There are only three active players with
more postseason rushing yards than Josh Allen of your Buffalo Bills.
(30:52):
Is that too much or not enough?
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Not enough?
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Not enough? Let's find out. Nope, the answer is too much.
Only Derrick Henry has more postseason rushing yards with nine
hundred and eighteen Josh Allen at six hundred and nine.
The turnover at the running back position on a Sakwan
Barkley never really made the playoffs. I limited with the Giants.
Question number three, Yannis at denta koomball. This is for
(31:19):
Robin Maine. He just showed up the work. He's playing
our game. Ganis adenta komball. That's a basketball player. Just
became the tenth player in NBA history with fifty triple doubles.
Is that too much or not enough?
Speaker 4 (31:35):
Too much?
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Let's find out. Yeah, oh boy, you hit the skids here,
Rob not enough. He's the twelve player to do it.
So you gotta get these last two right. It's happened.
Are you ready?
Speaker 3 (31:51):
I'm going.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
You sound like Kevin O'Connor, a little bit like you're
conceding defeat. That's what it sounds like to me, all right.
Question number four. This is the sick consecutive year that
a rookie has thrown multiple touchdown passes in the playoff game.
Is that too much or not enough to stay alive?
Let's find out that's right. This is the fourth consecutive
(32:15):
year Jayden Daniels joining CJ. Stroud, Rock Perty and your
guy Mac Jones. Question number five. This is for the
win or the loss, Robin Maine. The plot thickens. Question five.
There are now only fifteen players ahead of Steph Curry
on the all time points leader board? Is that too
(32:36):
much or not enough? Not enough? Is that gonna get
your win?
Speaker 5 (32:45):
That?
Speaker 1 (32:46):
So? Good job by you. Rober came back.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
You got it all the tack.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Jack, you just lost. You got those wrong for ratings purposes,
But thank you for a short on time. So you
gotta leave some time for lorrain. Now the Queen of Hearts.
Get your questions in hashtag Queen of Hearts. The answer
was not enough. There are twenty seven players ahead of
Curry all time on the points leader board. We are
going to have the Queen of Hearts with Loray. Now
we'll get to that. We'll do it next.

Speaker 7 (34:10):
Dear Ray, you heard the man. It's time for love
here on the Ben Mallory Show. And I just want
to point out. That is such a catchy tune. Coop's
over here singing it. He knows all the words. Pretty impressive,
pump bet.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
I'm very impressed, very very impressed. Yes, I'm shocked. So
these are actual questions by actual listeners. This is from
Inca Terror Legend Hi Studio. I gotta get Inca Terror
back in studio one of these days when he's back
on the West Coast. He's in New York. He says,
I just received an invitation for a wedding in June
in Italy. The invitation specifically says dancing required, but I
(34:49):
am terrified of dancing. What is the quickest way to learn? Also,
would you like to be my plus one?
Speaker 7 (34:56):
That sounds like a super fun time as long as
I guess.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Would you go? You get to go to Italy.
Speaker 7 (35:02):
He'll take it to Italy, as long as I get
to dress up. That sounds like so much fun. Sounds
like a good time. I already plan on going to Paris, remember,
so two European trips sounds like a blast. I would
suggest taking dance classes. And you don't even have to
do it in person either. You have online options these
days too. But the problem is you don't want to
step on that person's toes that you're going to be
(35:22):
dancing with, so.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
You won't be able to see their toes. But here's
the thing, how about this Lorena as a guy. It
is no good male dancers, all right? It did not
focus on the women. So you just get your hips. No,
you gotta move, just waddle a little bit. You kind
of look like you know what you're doing. Nobody pays attention.
(35:43):
They look at the woman. They look at a woman.
Speaker 7 (35:46):
Are you a dancer?
Speaker 1 (35:46):
But I'm a dancer. I go out dancing just kind
of like you pretend like you know what you're doing.
Speaker 7 (35:51):
You do if you want to do it well. In
Italy though, think about that.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
Who cares? Well, there's there's human beings in Italy. There
are few makes here like better in Italy. They're better
dances in Italy.
Speaker 7 (36:03):
Maybe maybe they have moved their hips better. It's the wine,
all right.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
Art O g rt Puffin says, He says, why is
why is it that I find it disgusting to to
have a meal after I guess his lady friend there,
But I don't have a problem with some tongue kissing.
Very odd. I cleaned that up for the radio.
Speaker 7 (36:26):
Yeah, I can tell, so he doesn't he doesn't mind
eating after, but he doesn't know.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
He does have I think an issue with the He
says it's disgusting to eat after, but does not mind
after what he can kind of use your imagination, Lorena
describing here, it's a very personal acts many people find enjoyable.
(36:55):
Many people wash. Take a minute, mouth washed, take time out.
Speaker 7 (37:00):
Take a time out. Yeah, but also, don't be don't
be all weird like that if you're if you're doing
intimate acts, just you know, you already broke that barrier's
let it go, let it go.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
Dive in.
Speaker 7 (37:12):
Let's say it like.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
That, Wow, dive in. All right, chomp chop, all right.
Deacon writes, In says, what is the weirdest thing, Lorena,
that you have heard a guy being into? Deacon Deacon blues.
Speaker 7 (37:26):
Oh, yeah, it's called ABF. I'll let you google that.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Hold on, I say, let's see here.
Speaker 7 (37:37):
Coops like google. Yeah, it was on a dating site.
It was on his thing. He was like, I need
a woman who's in an a BF. And I was like,
what is a BF?
Speaker 1 (37:46):
And he has American breakfast at a hotel.
Speaker 7 (37:50):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
For sure. Oh hold on, wait, okay, let me see
you here.
Speaker 7 (37:57):
Apparently a lot of muscle builders, people who like to
work out, they also enjoy this, but they'll buy it online.
But some people like it straight.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
Oh wow, oh wow, what was it? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (38:12):
It's an abbreviation.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
I just I just message, yeah, what it is? Okay.
Speaker 7 (38:17):
I don't know if I can say that on them.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
I mean, sure you can. You wanted me to say
the other thing, and I would want to that You
wanted me to say that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was
That is pretty odd. You You did a guy approach
you about that?
Speaker 4 (38:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (38:28):
Yeah, and I was. I thought about it for a second,
you did, and I thought about the whole business too,
such good money.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
Could you imagine?
Speaker 7 (38:36):
Okay, could you imagine.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
You can say, hey, I'm a I'm a woman, hear me,
roar make that money a ferg dog right, since boy
guys will pay for anything. Man, Yeah, ferg Dog says.
Do you think I should make take my money out
of T bills and put it all into waffles?
Speaker 7 (38:57):
Like investing? What's a tea bill?
Speaker 1 (39:02):
Just grul it?
Speaker 7 (39:03):
Just oh oh it's oh this is a financial question. Yeah, yes,
do it buy and sell.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
All right, King Roy writes and says, with Valentine's Day
about a month away, should I place a reservation at
a so called fancy restaurant or just wing it and
make my wife a fancy dinner. If you do a.
Speaker 7 (39:21):
Fancy restaurant, make sure it's one that's not overly crowded,
and that you're going to have slow weight times and
things like that. Make sure you do really nice. I
do like an at home cooked meal, though, and then
you can be more frisky. You don't have to worry
about driving intoxicated and enjoy your night without any worries.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
Save a couple of right into bed. Oh look at
that lorraina right there. Cut out the middle part right
to the bedroom.
Ding dong from dusk to don It's the Overnight Show,
The Ben Maler Show, and a happy hump Day to
you on this Wednesday here an hour three. Are you
surprised that the Texans are dumping wide receiver Deontay Johnson
in the middle of a playoff run? Playoffs? And how
do you sum up a viral fan being banned from
(00:22):
Eagle games and fired from his job for being lewd
and crude to a Packer fan? Also TV ratings for
the college football playoffs semi final, We're down roughly seventeen percent.
Is this something or nothing? We'll get to all of
that as we learn the ropes and scream into microphones
(00:44):
here in our number three.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Bye bye, baby, well gome In the beginning of another
hour of The Ben Maler Show. We are in the
air everywhere, beside one another as we unlock new sporty
worlds minute by minute, coast to coast, border to border
(01:12):
and beyond on the mast and ourageously powerful microphones of
fsre and monating live from under the covers the covers
on your bed were broadcasting live from the Tirak dot
Com studios Tyraq dot com.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
We'll help you get there and unmatched selection, fast free shipping,
free road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended installers.
Tire iraq dot com the way tirebind shoeb I know
supermarket Steve has put ten thousand cans of tomato tomato
(01:48):
paste on the shelf over the years. But our lead
this hour is from the high Speed Transaction wire, as
one of my mentors and radio said back in my
San Diego days. But we've learned that a player that
we've heard of has been kicked out of the NFL playoffs.
(02:10):
His team has not been eliminated. We learned the Texans
have said bye bye to Deontay Johnson, bye bye, as
they prepare for their Division round matchup playoff game this
weekend against can City. So I don't know if you
saw this or not. Maybe not, Demiico Ryans, the coach
(02:31):
in Houston, said, Unfortunately with Deontay it didn't work out.
We're on to the Chiefs, taking a page out of
Bill Belichick's old quote book. Now, Johnson, playing only a
few games in Houston, had all of three catches for
twenty four yards in two games after the Texans claimed him.
(02:53):
Johnson off the waiver wire from the Baltimore football team.
That was just before Christmas. So let us discuss are
you surprised? Here's the question, are you surprised the Texans
are dumping wide receiver Deontay Johnson in the middle of
what is supposed to be a playoff run to the
(03:13):
Bayou and the Super Bowl. So I have home depot,
diagram and meal ticket, and we'll put all of these
things together, and we're going to make a well oiled machine,
is what We're going to make, a well oiled machine.
That'll be the first time that ever happens. So, first
of all, to answer the question, are you surprised, not
(03:37):
even a little bit. It is my belief that the
player Deontay Johnson, he's in his happy place. If he's
causing problems, that's how he is wired. That's how he
is wired. This is a player who is better in
theory than in practice. Now, there's guys like this all
the time. I've been doing this for a few minut
(04:00):
and it's so a few years whatever, and I can
go back to previous generations. There's always a couple of
guys like this in every sport that in some ways
are advantaged and in other ways are disadvantage. And it's
a weird, weird quagmire that these teams find find themselves
in because of the talent. Evaluators look at the skill
set and they get a little tangly, They get a
(04:22):
little tangly. They get excited that this guy's got the
repertoire to be an elite receiver in the NFL. And
there's always a team out there, always a team ready
to give you another chance. Right, easy come, easy go.
They leave one team and move on to the next.
And that's the way it goes. All they have to
do is hire the right locksmith and they can unlock
(04:47):
the combination lock and spiler alert, spoiler alert. The code
is impossible to crack if you go down to home depot.
And he said, if I could get a player like
Deontae Johnson at the home depot, which isile, that would
be I think it's Aisle ten where they sell the sandpaper.
He's very abrasive, very abrasive, Deontay this amazing factor. It
(05:11):
so in twelve months the last calendar year, Deontay Johnson
has managed to wear the uniform of one eighth of
the entire NFL. He was on the Steelers the Panthers,
the Ravens, and the Texans. He went a wall in Baltimore,
a wall in Baltimore, had a hissy fit in Houston. Now,
(05:31):
following the playoff win over the Chargers, is it true
that Deontay was huffing and puffing and pouting at his
locker and several prominent teammates went up to him try
to calm him down. Everything's'll be okay, everan there'll be okay,
And he was so upset that he just could not
(05:54):
could not calm down and clearly got carried over into
the work week here. And that has been a recurring
theme around the player and being, as you know, impartial
and completely objective. When you think impartial and objective, you
think the Ben Mathers Show, And so that's that's obvious.
(06:16):
But at a certain point you have to look at
the mirror, mirror on the wall and see that you
are the problem. You are the common denominator in all this.
Typically what happens is you have that happen when you're
done playing football, all right, right now, it's everyone else's problem,
and you're just perfect, made to order, ready to go player,
(06:38):
and it's everyone else's problem. All right now, turning the
page to the Fan Code of Conduct Department, the Fan
Code of Conduct Department, Philadelphia. The Eagle fan. You might
have seen this if you're on the social media pages.
If you're not, you're lucky. But an Egle fan involved
in what is now an infamous video one viral. This
(06:59):
is the cliche Philadelphia Eagle fan, the trope of an
Eagle fan, middle aged, very angry, spitting mad Eagle fan
who was hurling vulgar insults at a female Green Bay
Packer backer. And we have the results of this now,
(07:24):
so I can't say what he said. It was something
about wanting to see this woman next Tuesday, I guess,
but unfortunately I can't say what he actually said. So
he has now been fired from his job. The story's hilarious.
So this guy worked at one of those woke DEEI
consulting firms, you know, the bane of our existence in
(07:45):
modern society. And so they announced, well, this guy's no
longer impart. They had an investigation and they decided that
he is not part of the company anymore. In addition,
the Eagles have also banished him to Siberia. He's no
longer allowed to attend any events in the future at
(08:06):
Lincoln Financial Field the link. So he's out. So question,
how do you sum up the viral fan video leading
to this guy being banned from Eagle Games and fired
from his job for being lud and crude on camera.
(08:28):
So my first thought on this is follow the diagram.
Follow the diagram, Follow the chart. I learned a couple
of years back, and I've seen this many times. As
you can see, the more you f around, the more
you're gonna find out. F around, find out. This is
also one of those stupid quizzes like how dumb are you?
You don't realize the fallout of something like this if
(08:51):
it does end up going viral social media, mob justice.
And this cat was likely so schnockered. How schnockered was he?
This was his hallmark moment. He did not stop even
when the other fan pulled out the camera, the cell
phone camera. Now the other argument is, well, we don't
know the rest of the story, and then the counter
argument is, well, it doesn't matter what happened. You can't
(09:13):
say that word. That's a word, this taboo in American society.
You can't say the C word. Cannot do it, cannot
do it. At all. But this guy and that one percent,
that one percent lunatic fringe of fans. And there's a
lot of these guys. I've been to. I've been doing
an Eagles game in phil I've been to Phillies games
(09:33):
in Philadelphia, so I've seen Philly fans in action. And
there's a subset of zelots that treat everything like life
and death. Now, every fan base has a group. I'm
a Dodger fan. There's some Dodger fans that are on
the spectrum when it comes to that kind of thing.
They treat the Dodgers like it's their gang or whatever,
and they're there to defend to the death the Dodgers.
(09:55):
But there's a lot of guys in Philadelphia that are
just complete schmucks and all that. But this guy ends
up getting doxed, so now he's unemployed. It's absolutely comedy
gold that he's working for this DEI coman. I think
that's the funniest part of the story there. And there's
a saying in business that you're supposed to eat your
(10:16):
own dog food, right, if you sell dog food, you
gotta eat your own product. And so clearly he did
not eat his own dog food. Either that or the
alcohol took over. But it doesn't matter. You're consuming massive
amounts of alcohol. If you can't control yourself, you're going
to end up in a ditch on the side of
the road. All right, Final fun were going out of
(10:37):
college football. Collegent football. Well. TV ratings for the college
football Playoff semi final are out and they're doing a
yoga pos the downward dog. The downward dog. Yes, down
roughly seventeen percent year to year, down nearly seven percent
(11:00):
year to year. New twelve team format, the final four
played out a little bit later in the month than
normal in the past, and now we have one game left.
It is coming Monday. One game for all the money,
for all the money. So this has raised some eyebrows.
So I would like to ask the esteem Padel. TV
(11:23):
ratings again, for those of you are laid here. TV
ratings for the college football Playoff semi finals were down
roughly seventeen percent. They lost nearly seventeen percent of their audience.
Is this something or nothing? So it is something? It's
not nothing, it is something. This is a different animal.
It is experimental, meaning we haven't gone this far into
(11:49):
the month of January, and people over the years, we
all get programmed, we get set in our ways, we
don't want to change, and so it becomes becomes problematic.
So the TV audience, we can all agree on this.
Every man, woman and child can agree that in that business,
and it is a business, right, semi professional football really
(12:10):
pro football, they just blame it's semi professional. I'm fine
with that. For all that bullcrap. The NCAA and their
member institutions deserve the crap that they're dealing with right
now because of years of student athlete they were shoving
down our throats. But anyway, so this is the meal ticket.
This is it, This is the real TV is the
meal ticket. And you've got big brands who have been
(12:31):
in this playoff, some of them known as football schools
like Ohio State and Notre Dame, but just schools that
have big followings like Texas also Penn State football school.
And they all made runs into this thing. And you
lost four million viewers. That's nothing to sneeze at. If
you're running a business and you lose four million customers,
(12:53):
that's noteworthy. Now, before long, this thing's gonna be played.
I had one person tell me the way they're planning this.
They're gonna get to sixteen teams eventually, and why stop there.
Maybe they'll have the top twenty eventually. They'll just play
the championship game the week before the super Bowl. You
know how, there's that dead week, there's that period of
(13:17):
time there's not much going on, so they'll they'll do
it there boom. They'll put the game right there, and
then well the college football super Bowl, if you will,
and then then the following week will be the super Bowl.
But a being bought a boom. We'll see what the
audience does for that down the line. Stay tuned. Inquiring
minds would like to know as the plot thickens. It
is the Ben Mahlor Show. And the only thing thickening
(13:40):
right now is the sound of my voice. The sound
of my voice. Hey, a programming note if you love
game shows, I've been told that we're one of the
last of the Mohegans that play these dopey radio game shows.
We have one coming up a little bit later. If
you want to get online for that, get in the
on deck circle for too much or not enough, you
can certainly do that right now. I will have a
(14:02):
mini malor rant at some point of this hour, next hour,
a pet peeve of mine. And it has happened when
you try to do something right and it goes a
sideways because you're really not trying to do something perfectly right.
But time now for the malor riddle of the day,
the malor riddle of the day, not a sign of
the apocalypse, a mallar riddle of the day. And here
(14:25):
it is lari Ams tight end. Tyler Higbee was blank
after the playoff win versus the Vikings La Rams tight end.
Tyler Higbee was blank after the win versus the Rams
on the wild card Monday. That is the malor riddle
(14:49):
of the day. The answer, We'll get to it, and
we will do it next.

Michaels and Puka Nakula, do not harm vegetables. Let's get
back to the show. That's right, Bill, me and al
Michaels have the same diet. Al's doing great. He's in
his eighties now and he's still going strong. No vegetables,
(17:09):
it's the way to do it. Everything's good there.
Speaker 7 (17:12):
It's probably better for the environment too, less water you said,
you know.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Exactly, And I hate the idea of you vegetarians killing
all of those beautiful vegetables for your little selfish desires,
and vegetables they matter to me and I will not
stand for that. Well, it is the malor riddle of
the daytime. And coming up in a little bit, we'll
(17:38):
have too much or not enough. But here's the malor
riddle of the day rams tight end Tyler Higbee was
blank after the victory over the Vikings in the playoff
game back on Monday. That was the question, what is
the answer? Let's see does anyone know the answer? Lady
(17:59):
Sideburns says he was caught listing Puka Nuku's jockstrap on eBay.
Ferg Dog says he was laughing at all these Seahawks
fans who have suddenly disappeared. I have noticed that, Ferg Dog.
Can we do a wellness check on Nosterdenas, that big
mouth Nosterdenas and JJ in Ranton and crying Craig and

on the FM dial there all night long, and the
Pacific Northwest, No, they all vanished. They were strutting around
and all that. Where'd they go? Luke the vending guys back.
We haven't heard from him in a while. It's been
a couple of minutes, he says. Rich Aurelia, there's a
good name, Old giant. Robin Vegas says, the answer is
(18:41):
he was streaking through the quad. He made some macarroney
art from the late night drug tester Jay Dot in
Utah says Tyler Higbee was caught at the Blue Oyster Bar. Okay.
Alf the Alien o Pinter says he was booking a
comedy show in Ventura. Oh look at that? Is that?
(19:03):
Is that new? Alf the Unknown comic from the Gong
Show will be appearing in ventur this weekend. According to
according to Alf, there the Crown Plaza Inventury, unknown comic.
Now for us, it's surf for Todd the comedian. That's
our guy, that's our comedian. Surf for Todd the comedian,
(19:24):
who's part of the lame jokes of the week. King
Roy says he was handing out samples and recipes of
his ham and cheese cookies, Brazilian wax. He won a
free Brazilian wax. That's from Milkman. Mike There in Colorado,
who else do we have Page Dawn watching d y
I videos from Donkey's Sausage? That his answer see Chris
(19:51):
and Kent. Washington says he was masticating, is what he
was saying. There has something to do with Donkey sausage.
He was hungry for Donkey sausage. That's from JT the Wingman. Yeah.
Patrick said he went streaking after the win, by the way,
that's DJ spin. Larry D says he was downing Minnie Sodas.
(20:15):
He was robbed after the game. Guess by truck or
Joe circumcised by play it Hot, Play it Hot. That
was their answer there. Who else do we have embarrassed
by Kelly in Iowa's Mountain of Money performance? Well, yeah,
that's that's about right. All right, Laay, do you have
(20:37):
an answer? It's the Mallard riddle of day. Rams tight
end Tyler Higbee was blank after a win versus the
Vikings and the playoffs.
Speaker 7 (20:46):
He was a vegetarian ben.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Oh god, no, no, no, not of it. That's incorrect.
That's by you correct answer, Rams tight End. Tyler Higbee
after the win against the Vikings was spin up blood.
He was speeding up blood. Yeah, you see he suffered
(21:09):
what they call a chest concoute contusion, which is he
got hit in the solar again plexus exactly, but he
got hit right in the chest and and he left
the game. He ended up at a hospital in Arizona
and he was coughing up blood. But they say he's
probably gonna play this weekend. If that was a basketball player, yeah,
(21:33):
if that was a basketball player, we might not see
them until twenty thirty. Hockey player would play, right, Baseball
player be out three months. Football player likely going to play,
and the Rams being Philadelphia this weekend, Eagles coming off
win over the Green Bay Packers, and Higby at least
the early reporting is he'll play. We'll see if he
(21:54):
actually does play. As the Rams get a rematch with
the Eagles eight weeks after they got absolutely stomped by Philadelphia,
will they be able, Well, they didn't ram it that day.
The Eagles did the ramming. Will the Rams be able
to slow down Barkley? You want to make Jalen hurt
speech if Jalen hurts Beach, so that's fine, you want
to make that. And the Rams suffered some some secondary issues. Uh.
(22:18):
One of their key cornerbacks, a kiloh Witherspoon. He he
was injured, and I don't know if he's gonna play
or not. I haven't seen the I don't think the
injury report is out, so who knows. But that's where
we are on the rams. As you can ram it
all day and ram it all Night's go back to
the phones and we'll say hello to Trucker Tony, who's
(22:44):
in Chicago. Hello, Trucker Tony.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
What's going on? Big Mallard?
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Tell me Tony, how Chicago? You just passed?
Speaker 4 (22:57):
But you know, listen to do on my long drives.
But I'm a little bit upset because you know, you
committed the crime and of bearing the league with talking
about McCarthy, right, I mean, yeah, yeah he got fired,
and yeah he's got a job interview going off. But
(23:17):
let's talk about the fact that the Bear set up
an interview with him, requested an interview with him two
weeks prior, and the King of Penny, Jerry Jones, slapped
it down like a net over his food, right, slapped
it down, only to fire him two weeks later, all right,
(23:41):
which is wild. Either he was just being penny or
he was tired of the guy using the Bears as
negotiation tools. Okay, second of all. Second of all, McCarthy's
the best option for the Chicago Bears because he has
a history of bringing the most out of quarterback. He
brought the most out of a certified bomb and Dak Prescott.
(24:06):
All right, the guy gets Tim Williams.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
A year they won play Wait wait wait, they won
one playoff game with Dak Prescott. That was against Tom Rady,
who at that point was seventy five years old.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
Yeah, well you have to tickets. Context of Dak Prescott
is a bomb, all right, Okay.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
But Caleb Williams is a bum also.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
Not yet, not yet, not yet?
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Come on, did you see him play? He can't. He
has no idea like the basic game management, he has
no concept. Do you see the game on Thanksgiving? I
know you watched the game on Thanksgiving? Right the clock
ran out? He had no idea?
Speaker 4 (24:40):
Hyeah, yeah, well he's a rookie. I'm just gonna say
he's a rookie.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
You're giving him, You're You're Chicago's and you're excited, you're trying,
you're trying to be up and here I am being
a buzz kill. I got you. I will see what happens.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
I see, I see a lot of problems I solved
with Justin Fields and him steal. But he's a rookie.
Justin Fields was three years he is doing this all right.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
But yeah, but usually you know, you don't change that much. Typically,
you know, very rarely do you change.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Well, see, we've seen guys change from being very great
in their first year to be an absolute bomb.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Well. The other problem though, the other problem, the other problem, Trucker, Tony,
is that you see guys that will occasionally they're like
fake good, where like Sam Donald was fake good this year.
He was putting on MVP numbers. But you knew at
some point he was going to return, that the glass
slipper was going to crack and he would be the
old Sam Donald. And he was at the end, he
was the old Sam Darn with the Jets.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
Absolutely this is true. And second, about this last thing,
I'm going to say, you are suffering from the very
common condition of the Mendima thing. That mirror mirror on
the wall reference that you used, and it is actually
magic mirror on the wall. Look it up and just
(26:00):
to mention it's magic mirror.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
You can but Tony, that is you're not wrong I
know you're not wrong, But here's the thing, Tony. When
the legend becomes the fact, you go with the legend.
The legend is mirror mirror on the wall, So we
go with the legend. But I you're right technically, like
if you're going to be a douche about it, you're
you're right. But be safe and bring some cold, bring
some like rain. Can you bring some rain and snow
from Chicago? Can you bring that to LA because we
(26:22):
need it right now. Okay, Well it's.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
Hard to bring him in the same container because it
ends up big rain all together.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Yeah, well we need some water. Just bring some water.
There's a lot of fires out here, so we need water.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
Okay, Yeah, we'll talk to you governor.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
No comment, no comment, all right, thank you. All right,
there's a trucker, Tony heading to the heading of the
West coast.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
Actually, Ben, there was a action comedy movie in twenty
twelve called Mirror Mirror starring Julia Roberts and Lily Collins,
And I believe that is what you were referring to.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Clearly fan Lily Collins or whatever name. Yes, big fan,
big fan, one hundred percent. I can't get enough, do
we have a game show contest, Cooper, do we not
have someone here? No?
Speaker 5 (27:14):
That was our first first clear line after that phone.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
All right, well, we need somebody to call quickly eight
seven seven ninety nine on Foxball. We wait for that.
Let's say hello to Alame dea Lou who would like
to do an octagon in the next couple of days?
I believe? Is that correct? Alan oh Ben?
Speaker 8 (27:31):
So I would love more than any octagon that I've
done prior to this one is pretty meaningless to me.
The opportunity to insult someone from Ohio on national sports
radio means more.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Gotcha? All right, So we need a Buckeye fan, a
fire breathing, angry Ohioan who would.
Speaker 8 (27:53):
Like to Cincinnati. Cincinnati is a city in Ohio.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Right that last night? What it is mostly northern Kentucky Cincinnati,
but we'll consider it just across the state line. But
it's really more Kentucky than Ohio. But we will consider that.
So you want to You're you're throwing the challenge out
to Justin? Is that correct? You want to take down Justin?
You sure about that?
Speaker 4 (28:14):
No?
Speaker 8 (28:14):
I will take down Justin, not necessarily that literally, anybody.
I'm not gonna.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Lose this fight, all right, it's somebody wants to take
on our guy. You you love Notre Dame, You've loved
the Irish. You're proud Catholic since you were a little
kid right out of Medlu.
Speaker 8 (28:30):
You grew up fighting Catholic school, Catholic school through and through.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
All Right, I got you. I respect it. And so
you want to defend the honor of touchdown Jesus and
Notre Dame and all that. They're big dogs against Ohio State.
Speaker 8 (28:42):
So it has nothing to do with that. The point
I want to make to you, any Ohio State fans
that is brave enough to take me on, is that
there's a reason that you love college football so much.
Me being from California, there's a reason we don't really
care about college football in California. We have profession little
sports franchises that win championships in the state of Ohio. Nothing.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
So this is a preview of some of your You're
using some of your material that will be a strike
against you.
Speaker 8 (29:11):
But thank you, I have so much more.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
Can you forget to tell you?
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Okay, cheap listening, Coop, let's set that up next couple
of days. Octagon, We'll have Alame too. We can get
somebody from Ohio who wants to defend the Buckeyes and
can bring the juice. We'll make that happen. We're gonna
make this happen right now. Though it's another Ben Meller game.
We've endured too many of these hazy too much or
(29:36):
not enough enough already, and we say hello to Rob
in Maine. Who's gonna play? Hello Rob, Hello Ben, welcome in.
Good to have you. We'll ask you a series of questions.
All the answers are too much or not enough. All
you have to do, Rob, is get three right, you
win the game, you get all five right, we'll name
the game after you for a week. Are you ready?
Speaker 3 (29:56):
Rob?
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Yes, sir? All right? What are you doing?
Speaker 7 (30:00):
I'm to get right now, driving in there, thinking about
going to the BURBA.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
Locked the down with that guy just for Drew Carrey's
on her and I can't stand the Notre Dame football
team to think it about it.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Well, if we can't get a guy from from Ohio,
would be great to have a guy from Maine. Just
attack a Notre Dame fan. A very good question. Number one,
Jamal Murray, it's a basketball player. He just became the
fourth player ever to score forty five or more points
in the game, with no other player on either team
even scoring fifteen? Is that too much or not enough?
(30:32):
Too much? That's correct, that's correct. He is only the
third player to do so, joining Paul Pierce. Heard him
and someone named Joe. Folks have no idea who that is?
Question number two. There are only three active players with
more postseason rushing yards than Josh Allen of your Buffalo Bills.
(30:52):
Is that too much or not enough?
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Not enough?
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Not enough? Let's find out. Nope, the answer is too much.
Only Derrick Henry has more postseason rushing yards with nine
hundred and eighteen Josh Allen at six hundred and nine.
The turnover at the running back position on a Sakwan
Barkley never really made the playoffs. I limited with the Giants.
Question number three, Yannis at denta koomball. This is for
(31:19):
Robin Maine. He just showed up the work. He's playing
our game. Ganis adenta komball. That's a basketball player. Just
became the tenth player in NBA history with fifty triple doubles.
Is that too much or not enough?
Speaker 4 (31:35):
Too much?
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Let's find out. Yeah, oh boy, you hit the skids here,
Rob not enough. He's the twelve player to do it.
So you gotta get these last two right. It's happened.
Are you ready?
Speaker 3 (31:51):
I'm going.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
You sound like Kevin O'Connor, a little bit like you're
conceding defeat. That's what it sounds like to me, all right.
Question number four. This is the sick consecutive year that
a rookie has thrown multiple touchdown passes in the playoff game.
Is that too much or not enough to stay alive?
Let's find out that's right. This is the fourth consecutive
(32:15):
year Jayden Daniels joining CJ. Stroud, Rock Perty and your
guy Mac Jones. Question number five. This is for the
win or the loss, Robin Maine. The plot thickens. Question five.
There are now only fifteen players ahead of Steph Curry
on the all time points leader board? Is that too
(32:36):
much or not enough? Not enough? Is that gonna get
your win?
Speaker 5 (32:45):
That?
Speaker 1 (32:46):
So? Good job by you. Rober came back.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
You got it all the tack.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Jack, you just lost. You got those wrong for ratings purposes,
But thank you for a short on time. So you
gotta leave some time for lorrain. Now the Queen of Hearts.
Get your questions in hashtag Queen of Hearts. The answer
was not enough. There are twenty seven players ahead of
Curry all time on the points leader board. We are
going to have the Queen of Hearts with Loray. Now
we'll get to that. We'll do it next.

Speaker 7 (34:10):
Dear Ray, you heard the man. It's time for love
here on the Ben Mallory Show. And I just want
to point out. That is such a catchy tune. Coop's
over here singing it. He knows all the words. Pretty impressive,
pump bet.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
I'm very impressed, very very impressed. Yes, I'm shocked. So
these are actual questions by actual listeners. This is from
Inca Terror Legend Hi Studio. I gotta get Inca Terror
back in studio one of these days when he's back
on the West Coast. He's in New York. He says,
I just received an invitation for a wedding in June
in Italy. The invitation specifically says dancing required, but I
(34:49):
am terrified of dancing. What is the quickest way to learn? Also,
would you like to be my plus one?
Speaker 7 (34:56):
That sounds like a super fun time as long as
I guess.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Would you go? You get to go to Italy.
Speaker 7 (35:02):
He'll take it to Italy, as long as I get
to dress up. That sounds like so much fun. Sounds
like a good time. I already plan on going to Paris, remember,
so two European trips sounds like a blast. I would
suggest taking dance classes. And you don't even have to
do it in person either. You have online options these
days too. But the problem is you don't want to
step on that person's toes that you're going to be
(35:22):
dancing with, so.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
You won't be able to see their toes. But here's
the thing, how about this Lorena as a guy. It
is no good male dancers, all right? It did not
focus on the women. So you just get your hips. No,
you gotta move, just waddle a little bit. You kind
of look like you know what you're doing. Nobody pays attention.
(35:43):
They look at the woman. They look at a woman.
Speaker 7 (35:46):
Are you a dancer?
Speaker 1 (35:46):
But I'm a dancer. I go out dancing just kind
of like you pretend like you know what you're doing.
Speaker 7 (35:51):
You do if you want to do it well. In
Italy though, think about that.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
Who cares? Well, there's there's human beings in Italy. There
are few makes here like better in Italy. They're better
dances in Italy.
Speaker 7 (36:03):
Maybe maybe they have moved their hips better. It's the wine,
all right.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
Art O g rt Puffin says, He says, why is
why is it that I find it disgusting to to
have a meal after I guess his lady friend there,
But I don't have a problem with some tongue kissing.
Very odd. I cleaned that up for the radio.
Speaker 7 (36:26):
Yeah, I can tell, so he doesn't he doesn't mind
eating after, but he doesn't know.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
He does have I think an issue with the He
says it's disgusting to eat after, but does not mind
after what he can kind of use your imagination, Lorena
describing here, it's a very personal acts many people find enjoyable.
(36:55):
Many people wash. Take a minute, mouth washed, take time out.
Speaker 7 (37:00):
Take a time out. Yeah, but also, don't be don't
be all weird like that if you're if you're doing
intimate acts, just you know, you already broke that barrier's
let it go, let it go.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
Dive in.
Speaker 7 (37:12):
Let's say it like.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
That, Wow, dive in. All right, chomp chop, all right.
Deacon writes, In says, what is the weirdest thing, Lorena,
that you have heard a guy being into? Deacon Deacon blues.
Speaker 7 (37:26):
Oh, yeah, it's called ABF. I'll let you google that.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Hold on, I say, let's see here.
Speaker 7 (37:37):
Coops like google. Yeah, it was on a dating site.
It was on his thing. He was like, I need
a woman who's in an a BF. And I was like,
what is a BF?
Speaker 1 (37:46):
And he has American breakfast at a hotel.
Speaker 7 (37:50):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
For sure. Oh hold on, wait, okay, let me see
you here.
Speaker 7 (37:57):
Apparently a lot of muscle builders, people who like to
work out, they also enjoy this, but they'll buy it online.
But some people like it straight.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
Oh wow, oh wow, what was it? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (38:12):
It's an abbreviation.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
I just I just message, yeah, what it is? Okay.
Speaker 7 (38:17):
I don't know if I can say that on them.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
I mean, sure you can. You wanted me to say
the other thing, and I would want to that You
wanted me to say that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was
That is pretty odd. You You did a guy approach
you about that?
Speaker 4 (38:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (38:28):
Yeah, and I was. I thought about it for a second,
you did, and I thought about the whole business too,
such good money.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
Could you imagine?
Speaker 7 (38:36):
Okay, could you imagine.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
You can say, hey, I'm a I'm a woman, hear me,
roar make that money a ferg dog right, since boy
guys will pay for anything. Man, Yeah, ferg Dog says.
Do you think I should make take my money out
of T bills and put it all into waffles?
Speaker 7 (38:57):
Like investing? What's a tea bill?
Speaker 1 (39:02):
Just grul it?
Speaker 7 (39:03):
Just oh oh it's oh this is a financial question. Yeah, yes,
do it buy and sell.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
All right, King Roy writes and says, with Valentine's Day
about a month away, should I place a reservation at
a so called fancy restaurant or just wing it and
make my wife a fancy dinner. If you do a.
Speaker 7 (39:21):
Fancy restaurant, make sure it's one that's not overly crowded,
and that you're going to have slow weight times and
things like that. Make sure you do really nice. I
do like an at home cooked meal, though, and then
you can be more frisky. You don't have to worry
about driving intoxicated and enjoy your night without any worries.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
Save a couple of right into bed. Oh look at
that lorraina right there. Cut out the middle part right
to the bedroom.
