the Ben Malor Show. As we are in.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
The air everywhere, hanging out coast to coast as we
carve stone amazing and we.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Are not stat stuffing stooges as we are hanging out
on the vast and boldly powerful microphones of fs are
am monating live from the mix as we mix and
mingle from the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios as

(02:05):
And this portion, this portion of the Ben Malor Show
on Flox made possible in part by our friends at
tire Rack. For over forty years, ty i Rack has
been helping customers find the right tires for how, what
and where they drive, ship fast at freeback by free
road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire
installation tire rack dot Com. The way that tire buying
(02:27):
should be. So the Thursday night game last night goes
to the Green Bay Packers. It wasn't much of a game.
Washington had the woe is Me whole outlook, just didn't
seem like they were that interested in playing the game.
And we had a bunch of injuries. So I'm assuming
the stories have already been written online. They've gotta get
rid of these Thursday night games. They're not safe. It'll
(02:49):
never be safe enough anyway. I'm not gonna talk about
that again. But the Green Bay off to the two
and oh start, and I'm based on the reaction I've seen,
the season is now over. The Green Bay Packers are
the team to beat. They are the new dynasty of
the NFL. So good luck on that. But our lead
this hour from the chatterbox a former NFL quarterback who
(03:12):
was never all that good, now considering a comeback already
say what so if you didn't see this one, maybe not.
That would be former Saints and Raiders quarterback Derek Carr,
who put this in quotes here, retired a few much
back a few months back and is staying prepared. He
(03:34):
wants you to know that he's ready he's ready to
come back to the NFL, says quote, if God wanted
me to do it, I gotta be ready. Okay, Well,
I don't know how important that is to God. I
don't know. I's got a lot of things going on
these days. But anyway, so Carr retired after eleven seasons.
Somehow in the NFL earlier back. Was it March or
(03:58):
something I believe somewhere around there. Anyway, he said at
least the story was he didn't say specifically, is that
he had a significant shoulder injury and it would require surgery,
and he didn't want to have the surgery, and so
that's it. He retired. Now, we didn't buy that story
at the time. We were skeptical of that story. We
(04:19):
remain a skeptic when it comes to that particular story.
So let us discuss the question, how does this change things?
What does Derek Carr leaving the door open if God
wants him to come back? What does this do for
the whole comeback talk? What does that tell us? Is
what I'm getting at. So I've got parachutes, playing cards,
(04:43):
and a chili cookoff, and we will combine all of
these things together and we are going to make the
amazing babaganoush and some gabbagool both of them. All right,
not to lead off here the scenes. This thing always
felt a little awkward, like is something wrong with it?
(05:05):
Like the Saints were the Beef and the Bayou with
Derek Carr. And my theory is always at Car he
wanted to go to Pittsburgh. There were some teams that
changed quarterbacks and stuff season in a car wanted to
go to a team that he perceived to be a
good team. And this is not just about like injuries,
It's about him realizing that New Orleans was not going
(05:27):
to sniff contention. And he's getting a little older and
he's like, I want to play for a good team.
You won't let me play for a good team. No,
we don't want you to play for a good team.
We want you to play for a bad team. I
don't want play for a bad team. Well, you got
to play for a bad team because we don't want
to play for We don't want you to play for
a good team. And then so cart the Saints would
not allow him to leave, and so the only way
(05:48):
out was to be Okay, I'll uh, I'll just retire
that's it. So he's like the guy also the other
problem with their cars. Obviously, he's like the guy that
goes to Windy's and gets the frosty and tries to
eat the whole thing in one gulp and then gets
brain freeze every single time. And car gets brain freeze
at every big moment playoffs, check, primetime check, red zone check, Wham,
(06:15):
brain freeze happens. And yet here he is keeping himself
quote ready for a comeback. You know what that means.
That means that A. He didn't retire because he was
done with football. He retired because he did want to
play with the Saints, and he would have had the
operation if he'd gone somewhere else. B he's angling for
(06:35):
a rental position that he's picturing, not sugar plums dancing
in his head. He's picturing in a scenario where Patrick
Maholmes tweaks an ankle, Josh Allen gets the concussions out
for a while, and suddenly who you're gonna call, Well,
you can call the Falcons and get Kirk Cousins, but
that you'd have to trade something, and that's a whole
(06:57):
big to do, and you don't want to do that,
or you could contact Derek Carr, and then Derek Carr
would suddenly parachute in like some quarterback for hire, a
quarterback for fortune. He wants to be the NFL's Airbnb quarterback,
which tells you that Carr, who's always been clueless on
(07:17):
who he is, continues to lack self awareness. Like the
guy thinks he's Tom Brady Carr, He's not. He's closer
to He is closer to Kirk Cousins without the Netflix documentary,
and all that he ignorance is bliss with this guy.
And Carr is the dude that walks into the wrong
wedding reception, grabs a plate of Fetichini alfredo and then
(07:42):
starts dancing. And he hits the open bar completely unaware
that he does not belong there and people don't know
who he is. But in reality, he should be handing
out bullets. You think of where he should be at
right now, He should be working at a megachurch in Vegas.
Derek Carr has a much brighter future delivering sermons than
(08:05):
calling audibles at the line of scrimmers. The guy would
be all pro working with Joel Olstein, right, he would
be at that level he'd be next, he'd be next, that,
next to the next guy in line. All right, now
furthermore to Pittsburgh, PA. We go. That's right, Pittsburgh, PA.
(08:25):
The Yinsers and Steelers quarterback DK Metcalf. So DK Metcalf
says that he's ignoring all of the chatter. I didn't
know there was that much chatter because it's Dk Metcalf
revenge weekend. O MG, He's playing his old team. Isn't
that exciting? I know? Oh yeah, try to stay calm,
(08:47):
don't drive off the road. So the Seahawks and they
visit Pittsburgh this weekend, Metcalf said, quote, you all are
going to make it a big deal. I'm not, he said.
Metcalf claims that he has turned the page on his
former employer the moment that the DOCU sign went through
with the Pittsburgh Steelers and they sent a second round
(09:09):
pick in this year's draft of Seattle in exchange for Metcalf,
who then immediately became richer than Solomon, getting a five
year contract where one hundred and thirty million dollars. So
the question on this one wide receiver DK Metcalf downplaying
the fact that he's facing his former team as these
(09:31):
Steelers prepared to play Seattle. What is your reaction to
this one? So my reaction is, oh, police right, this
is the oldest play in the book when it comes
to this kind of storyline. You're playing your former team.
Not that big a deal, not that big a deal,
Not that big a deal. You win the game. Oh
I hated those guys. This is so great. It always works, right.
(09:54):
It's just like saying I don't care, and then you're
sharpening your knives now I don't care about the No, no, no, no,
come on, like, don't tell me he doesn't care about
this particular game. This guy was begging, begging for targets
in Seattle, and he was having hissy fits and temper tantwers,
(10:16):
and now suddenly we're supposed to believe that he's like
the zen Master of the Pittsburgh Wide receiver room. It's
a bunch of nonsense. Like, I get it. He's dying
the torchoes old team. Why wouldn't he be? And Metcalf
can say, hey, I've turned the page. You got the
big money all he wants, but you don't just forget
the franchise at the end, DK Metcalf was a very
(10:41):
muscly decoy, muscle bound decoy DK Metcalf, and there was
a bit of bitterness, there was animosity that he was underutilized.
And so that's it. He's shuffling the playing cards, Metcalf.
He's playing for payback in Spain. He's trying to get
the spades, and that's what we're doing it because he's
(11:03):
playing that card from the bottom of the deck. DK
has become the maybe if he sees me guy. He
had become that in Seattle, but now in Pittsburgh it's
much different there, and so he's like, oh, that's much
much better here, and he just feels good. He's making
a lot of money. It looks good, right and all that.
And he's got the bag. The Steelers cut him one
(11:26):
hundred and thirty million or something close to that, and
they rolled out the red carpet. And Pittsburgh a bigger
stage in the NFL. There's a bigger spotlight, and the
Steelers are Carnegie Hall and compared to the Coffee House
in Seattle, and they open mic night and all that.
So if Metcalf scores a touchdown, he's not just spiking
(11:48):
the ball. On Sunday he's going to spike it. He's
going to stomp on it. He's going to stare a
hole through Mike McDonald on the sidelines there for Seattle,
he'll be telling, you know, telling there or no revenge,
no revenge, but the body language will tell us something else.
The smirk, it's just there's something going on there now.
Last thing speaking of something going on, they'll go to Detroit.
(12:13):
After the Lions were blown to bits, smashed apart by
the Green Bay football team and the opener, new offensive
coordinator John Morton said, quote, you know, I love this squad.
He said, nobody is in panic mode. Close quote that
was inside the Detroit building. This the talking point we
(12:34):
heard Jared Goff say, this'd be nice if we could
rephrase that and use a different word other than a panic.
That's the word everyone uses. So the question where are
you at on the offensive coordinator John Morton saying that nobody,
nobody is in panic mode with the Lions. So this
(12:56):
is the thing. Nobody ever admits this. This is why
I keep doing the same ant over and over again.
It's like deodorant commercial time. Never let them see you sweat, right,
You're never supposed to let them see you sweat, But
you could have the whole building on fire, like that
fire at the college football game. The smoker cut on fire.
(13:17):
The whole stadium was filled with smoke at that Wake
Forest North Carolina State game videos. If you haven't seen
it or heard about it, it's pretty wild video like
from one food truck the whole thing lit on fire
and anyway, so like the whole thing could be on fire,
smoke billowing out of the film room, and they'll tell
you it's just a controlled burn. It's no big deal.
(13:40):
I don't understand while you're making it a big deal.
It's denial one oh one, denial, one oh one. They
just went out. I believe they scored what thirteen points
the Lions. That high faluton offense Jared Goff and that
offense golf, and that offense smelled. How did they smell?
They smelled like a porta pot at the end of
(14:01):
a chili cookoff when it's been one hundred degrees all
day and humid, and Morton's up there saying, I no
panic the new offensive coordinator for the lines. Please, if
that's not panic worthy? What is the cheeseheads who are
in your division? By the way absolutely owned you, like
(14:22):
they now have a pet kitten. It's a MotorCity kidding
is what they have. And that wasn't an overreaction game.
That was a reality check. So instead of someone going
and doing a primal scream in that locker room and
don't get that and flipping over a table and saying
this is unacceptable, it's well, we're calm, we're studying you,
(14:45):
we're studying the ship. Everything's okay. That's not calm, that's delusion, right,
This is universal. Coaches, players, executives. They never ever admit
panic because that's how you lose your job. If you're
a coach and you say the team is panicking, even
though they should be panicking and maybe they are panicking,
that's unbecoming of you, so you can't say it. So
(15:07):
instead you just lie is lie, and they will lie
right to your face. However, you and I know you
listening and me blabbing here, you know that panic is there.
That if you lose the opener and then you lose again. Statistically,
based on what has happened, not what's going to happen,
you have about a twelve percent chance a little less
(15:30):
than that of making the playoffs. If you get off
to the zero to two start, historically, you have a
very low chance of making the postseason. So it's a
problematic situation, right, And so if your offense look terrible,
no way they were doing. If you're not panicking, you're
just kind of hiding the panic. It's the old move along.
(15:50):
Nothing to see here, and then we'll see they play
this weekend, the Lions play the Chicago Bears, and Ben
Johnson knows all of the weakness is of Jared Goff
because he was able to hide all of those weaknesses.
So in theory, he knows how to attack Jared Goff
to make him very uncomfortable, which should therefore make the
(16:11):
Detroit football team somewhat uncomfortable. And sometimes panic is good,
all right, Sometimes you should panic. Sometimes panic is the
reality check that you need to restart things. And instead
the Lions are again going with the we're fine thing
and all that and denial, plain and simple. That's what
that is. I really no other way to say it.
(16:33):

They've got a lot of money, more money, more problems.
So hey, why not you know what the heck?
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Oh yeah, that sounds amazing. I love love, man, I
tell you what. I'm very concerned though about Pamela Anderson
and then Liam Neeson. Man. Ever since it came out
that Liam Neeson has the biggest naked gun in Hollywood,
They've they've shut it down. Man, every body, you were
(23:02):
so interested in celebrity.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
All Right, I gotta go. I thank you, all right.
One thing I would like to just so some of
you have been sending me this story and as I whatever,
I don't really it's not my thing. But I guess
President Trump was at the Yankee game last night because
it was September eleventh, and so he visited the Yankee Clubhouse.
And some some people are freaking out because he Aaron
(23:25):
Judge shook hands with with Donald Trump. But I don't
understand why there's the story. Because he was there in
the clubhouse and the President of the United States reached
his hand out to shake hands. He was the one
that initiated the handshakes. So how what are you supposed
to do in that? I don't I don't understand what
the issue is. Uh, I don't get that. It's going
(23:45):
to Danny the Great Danny de Vito, America's trash man
to the stars. Hello, Danny DeVito there in the Greater
Boston area. Friday Friday, all right, everyone gets everyone get drunk.
It's Payday Friday. There you go, Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 8 (24:03):
Yeah, Hey, Ben, did I hear a couple of days
ago that you got to watching a fight? I'm gonna
be watching that same fight box? I didn't know you.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Yeah, Well, I I grew up, you know, I'm of
the age where I grew up watching big fights. I'm
not a hardcore fight fan, but I used to go
when I did local radio. I used to go to
Vegas all the time for fights, and I had a
great time. Fight fight people are fun people to hang
out with. And I had a blast back in the
day hanging out with the boxing trainers and we I
used to work with a guy that was a big
(24:36):
boxing guy. So we'd have like guys that worked with
the legends back in the day. You know, you know,
a million years ago, Mike Tyson, the trainers and some
of the guys that trained Tyson and and uh, Evander Holyfield,
guys like that. So it's a long time ago. But yeah,
I will be watching on Saturday and I have a
little little guy guys night and watch the fight, watch
(24:56):
some college football. So I'm looking forward to It's gonna
be fun.
Speaker 8 (24:59):
Yeah, I'm actually looking forward to it. I'm a boxing fan,
but I haven't looked forward to a fight like this
one a long time. The last couple of years, it's
been kind of lighting that uh in that sport.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
It's been terrible, it's been terrible. Well, I did see
I saw Dana White. He claims he's going to be
the great savior of boxing, and he claimed that he's
gonna fix boxing and turn it into an NFL or
NB A type of league.
Speaker 8 (25:26):
He says, I I heard something like that.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Yeah, and we'll see.
Speaker 8 (25:31):
And how about this?
Speaker 4 (25:33):
I who you?
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Who?
Speaker 6 (25:34):
You?
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Who you picking in the fight? Though? Wait a minute,
you're going with Alvarez or Craft? Who are you picking
on the Croft?
Speaker 8 (25:40):
And Croft hasn't take that to see yet. Alvarez is
kind of I think Alva is kind of overrated. He's
a good fighter, but he's been fighting for a long time.
I'm going croft, but he's kind of a he's a
sweight dog. So you guys get you know, it's a
better bets value there.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
I take the value there to me. The story though
this week in boxing and we didn't really talk about,
is Mike Tyson admitted that he has used fentanyl quite
a few times. To me, that blows me away. But
I guess I shouldn't be blown away, but that was
I was like, what are you? What are you doing?
Speaker 8 (26:11):
He actually said that, he actually admitted that.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Really yeah, he admitted that he has used fentanyl quite
a few times to get through his like boxing stuff.
Speaker 8 (26:19):
And I mean, wow, you know all about he's kind
of guy.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
You know, you think you think he's out there a
little bit, just a little bit. Yeah, all right, I
got you.
Speaker 8 (26:31):
Have you seen a Dallas Cowboys a new show on
Dallas that I no I saw.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
I saw a little bit of it just for talk
radio purposes. What I'm really looking forward to is I
think on Netflix there's a new expos documentary and I
was around some of those people, so I'm looking forward
to that. I I was I was pretty good friends
with this guy Kevin Malone who was the exposed GM
and he was the Dodger guy. Became friends with him
when he was with the Dodger. So I hope he's
in that. And uh, I gotta let you on that.
(26:59):
But but thank you, Danny, I got the coop scoop.
But let's go Marcel. Hello Marcel in Brooklyn. Marcel, Hello Marcel.
Speaker 6 (27:07):
Yes, good morning, Ben, Lorena and you kop delup. This
one's for you, my friend.

All right, two hundred dollars. This future Hall of famer
didn't play college ball, but that didn't stop him from
going first overall. He is about to play in his
record setting twenty third season.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
In League Holy.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
His name is not Holy crap. That is incorrect. Really,
Aaron Rodgers? Interesting? That is wrong? Wow? All right, Brandon

all right? This number one? All right, calm down. This
number one overall pick replaced Hall of Fame. Hall of Famer,

just before the twenty nineteen season. Brandon, give me Andrew Luck. Hey,
there we go. All right, good job, we're on the board.
Six hundred dollars. Beast to the East is so bad.

Yeah, well you have played right there in your town
for a while. All right, eight hundred dollars. This former
All Star and World Series champion was Major League Baseball's
first ever draft pick in nineteen sixty five. He famously
saved the American flag from being burned when he played
for the Cubs. He would go on to serve as
a Dodger broadcaster on TV and radio. Oh, probably most
(38:43):
famous for saving the flag in the outfield. Yes, yes, Brandon,
I'm not going to lay.
Speaker 6 (38:49):

on the vast and boldly powerful microphones of fs are

(02:05):
And this portion, this portion of the Ben Malor Show
on Flox made possible in part by our friends at

been helping customers find the right tires for how, what
and where they drive, ship fast at freeback by free
road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire
installation tire rack dot Com. The way that tire buying
(02:27):
should be. So the Thursday night game last night goes
to the Green Bay Packers. It wasn't much of a game.
Washington had the woe is Me whole outlook, just didn't
seem like they were that interested in playing the game.
And we had a bunch of injuries. So I'm assuming
the stories have already been written online. They've gotta get
rid of these Thursday night games. They're not safe. It'll
(02:49):
never be safe enough anyway. I'm not gonna talk about
that again. But the Green Bay off to the two
and oh start, and I'm based on the reaction I've seen,
the season is now over. The Green Bay Packers are
the team to beat. They are the new dynasty of
the NFL. So good luck on that. But our lead
this hour from the chatterbox a former NFL quarterback who
(03:12):
was never all that good, now considering a comeback already
say what so if you didn't see this one, maybe not.
That would be former Saints and Raiders quarterback Derek Carr,
who put this in quotes here, retired a few much
back a few months back and is staying prepared. He
(03:34):
wants you to know that he's ready he's ready to
come back to the NFL, says quote, if God wanted
me to do it, I gotta be ready. Okay, Well,
I don't know how important that is to God. I
don't know. I's got a lot of things going on
these days. But anyway, so Carr retired after eleven seasons.
Somehow in the NFL earlier back. Was it March or
(03:58):
something I believe somewhere around there. Anyway, he said at
least the story was he didn't say specifically, is that
he had a significant shoulder injury and it would require surgery,
and he didn't want to have the surgery, and so
that's it. He retired. Now, we didn't buy that story
at the time. We were skeptical of that story. We
(04:19):
remain a skeptic when it comes to that particular story.
So let us discuss the question, how does this change things?
What does Derek Carr leaving the door open if God
wants him to come back? What does this do for
the whole comeback talk? What does that tell us? Is
what I'm getting at. So I've got parachutes, playing cards,
(04:43):
and a chili cookoff, and we will combine all of
these things together and we are going to make the
amazing babaganoush and some gabbagool both of them. All right,
not to lead off here the scenes. This thing always
felt a little awkward, like is something wrong with it?
(05:05):
Like the Saints were the Beef and the Bayou with
Derek Carr. And my theory is always at Car he
wanted to go to Pittsburgh. There were some teams that
changed quarterbacks and stuff season in a car wanted to
go to a team that he perceived to be a
good team. And this is not just about like injuries,
It's about him realizing that New Orleans was not going
(05:27):
to sniff contention. And he's getting a little older and
he's like, I want to play for a good team.
You won't let me play for a good team. No,
we don't want you to play for a good team.
We want you to play for a bad team. I
don't want play for a bad team. Well, you got
to play for a bad team because we don't want
to play for We don't want you to play for
a good team. And then so cart the Saints would
not allow him to leave, and so the only way
(05:48):
out was to be Okay, I'll uh, I'll just retire
that's it. So he's like the guy also the other
problem with their cars. Obviously, he's like the guy that
goes to Windy's and gets the frosty and tries to
eat the whole thing in one gulp and then gets
brain freeze every single time. And car gets brain freeze
at every big moment playoffs, check, primetime check, red zone check, Wham,
(06:15):
brain freeze happens. And yet here he is keeping himself
quote ready for a comeback. You know what that means.
That means that A. He didn't retire because he was
done with football. He retired because he did want to
play with the Saints, and he would have had the
operation if he'd gone somewhere else. B he's angling for
(06:35):
a rental position that he's picturing, not sugar plums dancing
in his head. He's picturing in a scenario where Patrick
Maholmes tweaks an ankle, Josh Allen gets the concussions out
for a while, and suddenly who you're gonna call, Well,
you can call the Falcons and get Kirk Cousins, but
that you'd have to trade something, and that's a whole
(06:57):
big to do, and you don't want to do that,
or you could contact Derek Carr, and then Derek Carr
would suddenly parachute in like some quarterback for hire, a
quarterback for fortune. He wants to be the NFL's Airbnb quarterback,
which tells you that Carr, who's always been clueless on
(07:17):
who he is, continues to lack self awareness. Like the
guy thinks he's Tom Brady Carr, He's not. He's closer
to He is closer to Kirk Cousins without the Netflix documentary,
and all that he ignorance is bliss with this guy.
And Carr is the dude that walks into the wrong
wedding reception, grabs a plate of Fetichini alfredo and then
(07:42):
starts dancing. And he hits the open bar completely unaware
that he does not belong there and people don't know
who he is. But in reality, he should be handing
out bullets. You think of where he should be at
right now, He should be working at a megachurch in Vegas.
Derek Carr has a much brighter future delivering sermons than
(08:05):
calling audibles at the line of scrimmers. The guy would
be all pro working with Joel Olstein, right, he would
be at that level he'd be next, he'd be next, that,
next to the next guy in line. All right, now
furthermore to Pittsburgh, PA. We go. That's right, Pittsburgh, PA.
(08:25):
The Yinsers and Steelers quarterback DK Metcalf. So DK Metcalf
says that he's ignoring all of the chatter. I didn't
know there was that much chatter because it's Dk Metcalf
revenge weekend. O MG, He's playing his old team. Isn't
that exciting? I know? Oh yeah, try to stay calm,
(08:47):
don't drive off the road. So the Seahawks and they
visit Pittsburgh this weekend, Metcalf said, quote, you all are
going to make it a big deal. I'm not, he said.
Metcalf claims that he has turned the page on his
former employer the moment that the DOCU sign went through
with the Pittsburgh Steelers and they sent a second round
(09:09):
pick in this year's draft of Seattle in exchange for Metcalf,
who then immediately became richer than Solomon, getting a five
year contract where one hundred and thirty million dollars. So
the question on this one wide receiver DK Metcalf downplaying
the fact that he's facing his former team as these
(09:31):
Steelers prepared to play Seattle. What is your reaction to
this one? So my reaction is, oh, police right, this
is the oldest play in the book when it comes
to this kind of storyline. You're playing your former team.
Not that big a deal, not that big a deal,
Not that big a deal. You win the game. Oh
I hated those guys. This is so great. It always works, right.
(09:54):
It's just like saying I don't care, and then you're
sharpening your knives now I don't care about the No, no, no, no,
come on, like, don't tell me he doesn't care about
this particular game. This guy was begging, begging for targets
in Seattle, and he was having hissy fits and temper tantwers,
(10:16):
and now suddenly we're supposed to believe that he's like
the zen Master of the Pittsburgh Wide receiver room. It's
a bunch of nonsense. Like, I get it. He's dying
the torchoes old team. Why wouldn't he be? And Metcalf
can say, hey, I've turned the page. You got the
big money all he wants, but you don't just forget
the franchise at the end, DK Metcalf was a very
(10:41):
muscly decoy, muscle bound decoy DK Metcalf, and there was
a bit of bitterness, there was animosity that he was underutilized.
And so that's it. He's shuffling the playing cards, Metcalf.
He's playing for payback in Spain. He's trying to get
the spades, and that's what we're doing it because he's
(11:03):
playing that card from the bottom of the deck. DK
has become the maybe if he sees me guy. He
had become that in Seattle, but now in Pittsburgh it's
much different there, and so he's like, oh, that's much
much better here, and he just feels good. He's making
a lot of money. It looks good, right and all that.
And he's got the bag. The Steelers cut him one
(11:26):
hundred and thirty million or something close to that, and
they rolled out the red carpet. And Pittsburgh a bigger
stage in the NFL. There's a bigger spotlight, and the
Steelers are Carnegie Hall and compared to the Coffee House
in Seattle, and they open mic night and all that.
So if Metcalf scores a touchdown, he's not just spiking
(11:48):
the ball. On Sunday he's going to spike it. He's
going to stomp on it. He's going to stare a
hole through Mike McDonald on the sidelines there for Seattle,
he'll be telling, you know, telling there or no revenge,
no revenge, but the body language will tell us something else.
The smirk, it's just there's something going on there now.
Last thing speaking of something going on, they'll go to Detroit.
(12:13):
After the Lions were blown to bits, smashed apart by
the Green Bay football team and the opener, new offensive
coordinator John Morton said, quote, you know, I love this squad.
He said, nobody is in panic mode. Close quote that
was inside the Detroit building. This the talking point we
(12:34):
heard Jared Goff say, this'd be nice if we could
rephrase that and use a different word other than a panic.
That's the word everyone uses. So the question where are
you at on the offensive coordinator John Morton saying that nobody,
nobody is in panic mode with the Lions. So this
(12:56):
is the thing. Nobody ever admits this. This is why
I keep doing the same ant over and over again.
It's like deodorant commercial time. Never let them see you sweat, right,
You're never supposed to let them see you sweat, But
you could have the whole building on fire, like that
fire at the college football game. The smoker cut on fire.
(13:17):
The whole stadium was filled with smoke at that Wake
Forest North Carolina State game videos. If you haven't seen
it or heard about it, it's pretty wild video like
from one food truck the whole thing lit on fire
and anyway, so like the whole thing could be on fire,
smoke billowing out of the film room, and they'll tell
you it's just a controlled burn. It's no big deal.
(13:40):
I don't understand while you're making it a big deal.
It's denial one oh one, denial, one oh one. They
just went out. I believe they scored what thirteen points
the Lions. That high faluton offense Jared Goff and that
offense golf, and that offense smelled. How did they smell?
They smelled like a porta pot at the end of
(14:01):
a chili cookoff when it's been one hundred degrees all
day and humid, and Morton's up there saying, I no
panic the new offensive coordinator for the lines. Please, if
that's not panic worthy? What is the cheeseheads who are
in your division? By the way absolutely owned you, like
(14:22):
they now have a pet kitten. It's a MotorCity kidding
is what they have. And that wasn't an overreaction game.
That was a reality check. So instead of someone going
and doing a primal scream in that locker room and
don't get that and flipping over a table and saying
this is unacceptable, it's well, we're calm, we're studying you,
(14:45):
we're studying the ship. Everything's okay. That's not calm, that's delusion, right,
This is universal. Coaches, players, executives. They never ever admit
panic because that's how you lose your job. If you're
a coach and you say the team is panicking, even
though they should be panicking and maybe they are panicking,
that's unbecoming of you, so you can't say it. So
(15:07):
instead you just lie is lie, and they will lie
right to your face. However, you and I know you
listening and me blabbing here, you know that panic is there.
That if you lose the opener and then you lose again. Statistically,
based on what has happened, not what's going to happen,
you have about a twelve percent chance a little less
(15:30):
than that of making the playoffs. If you get off
to the zero to two start, historically, you have a
very low chance of making the postseason. So it's a
problematic situation, right, And so if your offense look terrible,
no way they were doing. If you're not panicking, you're
just kind of hiding the panic. It's the old move along.
(15:50):
Nothing to see here, and then we'll see they play
this weekend, the Lions play the Chicago Bears, and Ben
Johnson knows all of the weakness is of Jared Goff
because he was able to hide all of those weaknesses.
So in theory, he knows how to attack Jared Goff
to make him very uncomfortable, which should therefore make the
(16:11):
Detroit football team somewhat uncomfortable. And sometimes panic is good,
all right, Sometimes you should panic. Sometimes panic is the
reality check that you need to restart things. And instead
the Lions are again going with the we're fine thing
and all that and denial, plain and simple. That's what
that is. I really no other way to say it.
(16:33):
That's that's what's going on. It is the Ben Mahlor Show.

They've got a lot of money, more money, more problems.
So hey, why not you know what the heck?
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Oh yeah, that sounds amazing. I love love, man, I
tell you what. I'm very concerned though about Pamela Anderson
and then Liam Neeson. Man. Ever since it came out
that Liam Neeson has the biggest naked gun in Hollywood,
They've they've shut it down. Man, every body, you were
(23:02):
so interested in celebrity.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
All Right, I gotta go. I thank you, all right.
One thing I would like to just so some of
you have been sending me this story and as I whatever,
I don't really it's not my thing. But I guess
President Trump was at the Yankee game last night because
it was September eleventh, and so he visited the Yankee Clubhouse.
And some some people are freaking out because he Aaron
(23:25):
Judge shook hands with with Donald Trump. But I don't
understand why there's the story. Because he was there in
the clubhouse and the President of the United States reached
his hand out to shake hands. He was the one
that initiated the handshakes. So how what are you supposed
to do in that? I don't I don't understand what
the issue is. Uh, I don't get that. It's going
(23:45):
to Danny the Great Danny de Vito, America's trash man
to the stars. Hello, Danny DeVito there in the Greater
Boston area. Friday Friday, all right, everyone gets everyone get drunk.
It's Payday Friday. There you go, Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 8 (24:03):
Yeah, Hey, Ben, did I hear a couple of days
ago that you got to watching a fight? I'm gonna
be watching that same fight box? I didn't know you.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Yeah, Well, I I grew up, you know, I'm of
the age where I grew up watching big fights. I'm
not a hardcore fight fan, but I used to go
when I did local radio. I used to go to
Vegas all the time for fights, and I had a
great time. Fight fight people are fun people to hang
out with. And I had a blast back in the
day hanging out with the boxing trainers and we I
used to work with a guy that was a big
(24:36):
boxing guy. So we'd have like guys that worked with
the legends back in the day. You know, you know,
a million years ago, Mike Tyson, the trainers and some
of the guys that trained Tyson and and uh, Evander Holyfield,
guys like that. So it's a long time ago. But yeah,
I will be watching on Saturday and I have a
little little guy guys night and watch the fight, watch
(24:56):
some college football. So I'm looking forward to It's gonna
be fun.
Speaker 8 (24:59):
Yeah, I'm actually looking forward to it. I'm a boxing fan,
but I haven't looked forward to a fight like this
one a long time. The last couple of years, it's
been kind of lighting that uh in that sport.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
It's been terrible, it's been terrible. Well, I did see
I saw Dana White. He claims he's going to be
the great savior of boxing, and he claimed that he's
gonna fix boxing and turn it into an NFL or
NB A type of league.
Speaker 8 (25:26):
He says, I I heard something like that.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Yeah, and we'll see.
Speaker 8 (25:31):
And how about this?
Speaker 4 (25:33):
I who you?
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Who?
Speaker 6 (25:34):
You?
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Who you picking in the fight? Though? Wait a minute,
you're going with Alvarez or Craft? Who are you picking
on the Croft?
Speaker 8 (25:40):
And Croft hasn't take that to see yet. Alvarez is
kind of I think Alva is kind of overrated. He's
a good fighter, but he's been fighting for a long time.
I'm going croft, but he's kind of a he's a
sweight dog. So you guys get you know, it's a
better bets value there.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
I take the value there to me. The story though
this week in boxing and we didn't really talk about,
is Mike Tyson admitted that he has used fentanyl quite
a few times. To me, that blows me away. But
I guess I shouldn't be blown away, but that was
I was like, what are you? What are you doing?
Speaker 8 (26:11):
He actually said that, he actually admitted that.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Really yeah, he admitted that he has used fentanyl quite
a few times to get through his like boxing stuff.
Speaker 8 (26:19):
And I mean, wow, you know all about he's kind
of guy.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
You know, you think you think he's out there a
little bit, just a little bit. Yeah, all right, I
got you.
Speaker 8 (26:31):
Have you seen a Dallas Cowboys a new show on
Dallas that I no I saw.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
I saw a little bit of it just for talk
radio purposes. What I'm really looking forward to is I
think on Netflix there's a new expos documentary and I
was around some of those people, so I'm looking forward
to that. I I was I was pretty good friends
with this guy Kevin Malone who was the exposed GM
and he was the Dodger guy. Became friends with him
when he was with the Dodger. So I hope he's
in that. And uh, I gotta let you on that.
(26:59):

It's called The Long Walk, and so far this is
getting rate reviews from critics.

I want to see that.
Speaker 9 (29:03):
Yes, it is the highly anticipated adaptation of Stephen King's
first written novel and it is from the visionary director
Francis Lawrence, who directed the Hunger Games franchise, And it
is an intense, chilling and emotional thriller that challenges audiences
to confront a hunting question.
Speaker 10 (29:20):
How far could you go? Probably not as far as
they go? Yeah, probably not. My ankles would give out.
Speaker 1 (29:28):

All right? You want the category number one? Very good.
These athletes were all selected number one overall in the DRAGA.
(36:47):
All right, two hundred dollars. This future Hall of famer
didn't play college ball, but that didn't stop him from
going first overall. He is about to play in his
record setting twenty third season.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
In League Holy.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
His name is not Holy crap. That is incorrect. Really,
Aaron Rodgers? Interesting? That is wrong? Wow? All right, Brandon
anything Brandon?
Speaker 8 (37:20):

Speaker 1 (37:21):
All right. I'm proud of you guys because Lebron James
fans are really going to be upset. That's Lebron James. Wow. Okay,

all right? This number one? All right, calm down. This
number one overall pick replaced Hall of Fame. Hall of Famer,
(37:41):
but only spent seven years in the NFL, surprisingly retiring
just before the twenty nineteen season. Brandon, give me Andrew Luck. Hey,
there we go. All right, good job, we're on the board.
Six hundred dollars. Beast to the East is so bad.

Speaker 4 (38:12):
Brandon, Brandon, gimme Alex Smith.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
Yeah, well you have played right there in your town
for a while. All right, eight hundred dollars. This former
All Star and World Series champion was Major League Baseball's
first ever draft pick in nineteen sixty five. He famously
