Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ding Dong.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's our number one. Happy Wednesday to you. It is
the third day of December. We are back at it
here in our number one, and it's all about Petsburg
Steelers to begin the festivities. We were up all night
recording this podcast. What intrigues you the most about coach
Mike Tomlin agreeing with the frustrated Steeler backers booing him

(00:26):
and his team. And what does Adam Feelen bring to
the berg the washed up Viking wide receivers on his
way to the confluence. Also, how do you classify giants
defensive end? Abdul Carter and his response to a satire
report on social media. Wait till you hear this one.

(00:46):
We'll get to that and more right now here. It
is our number one. They're not angry Burns, it's Angry
Berg's Welcome. In the beginning of another night of the

(01:07):
Ben Mahler Show.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
We are in the air emywhere belly tip belly as
we run the Yum Yum package coast to coast, border
the border and beyond on the vast and hypnotically powerful
microphones of FSR emmuinating live from the Bob as we

(01:32):
bob and weave our way.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
Through audio Haymakers all night long from the world famous
Fox Sports Radio studios here hanging out with you, as
approved by Totally Fused and Danny in Nashville, who remind
us that this portion of the Ben Maler Show on
Fox made possible a part by our friends at tire
Rack That's Right. For over forty years, Tyrak has been

(01:57):
helping customers like Ferg dog Alof and malarprop Guy find
the right tires for how, what and where they drive.
Ship fast and free, which is very important to mister
nice guy back by free road hazard protection with convenient
installation options like mobile tire installation tire rack dot Com

(02:18):
the way tire body should be. So our lead this
hour is from Pittsburgh. The Steelers are not bad. They're
not good. They played bad in their last game, and
I just love any chance I have to play audio
for Mike Tomlin. It's just so good. So we're gonna
take a trip to Pittsburg, PA. Right there they fallout

(02:41):
from the no show second half performance there as Steelers
fans were giving Mike Tomlin the business they created him.
With a chorus of boo flat and raining down rhythmic
chanting to get rid of Mike Tomlin after that debacle
in the second half where they just were guilty of truancy.
It just did not show up. So Tomlin was asked

(03:03):
again about all of this, the uprising, you the Natives
not being happy with the Pittsburgh Steelers and everything that's
going on right now in Pittsburgh. They brought in Aaron Rodgers.
He's not very good. You know, made some moves, but
haven't exactly paid off. No dividends from those moves in
the offseason right now. So Tomlin was asked about everyone

(03:23):
being very restless in the steel City, and let's go
to the audio tape.

Speaker 4 (03:28):
In general, I agree with him from this perspective. Football
is our game. We're in a sport entertainment business, and
so if you root for the Steelers, entertaining them is winning.
And so when you're not winning as not entertaining. And
if you've been in this business, you understand that, and
so I respect it. I share frustrations. I understand what

(03:53):
makes this thing go, and winning is what makes this
thing go.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
I say the same thing as you know people see
here in the sports talk business, in the entertainment business,
that's what we're in. Here where it's the vehicle, the
window is the sporting world. But Tomlin's such a great
sound bite, just absolute wonderful. So it's good jumping off point.
You heard tom on there. We're in the entertainment business,
the sports entertainment business. So let us discuss the question

(04:17):
for the esteem panel. What intrigues you the most about
Mike Tomlin agreeing with the frustrated Steeler fan base and
the booze that rained down on Mike Tomlins. So I've
got bomb squad, iPhone twelve and Emmy and we will

(04:40):
combine all of these things together.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
And we are going.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
To have a grand old jamboree, is what We're going
to have, Just a wonderful jamburee. So a Mike Tomlin
reminding us yet again that he is.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
A smooth operator, a smooth operator.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
He knew the line of question he was coming, all
right with Shah Dave, for he knew it was coming down.
And so Tomlin, he walked into the blast zone, the
demilitarized zone there, the smooth operator that he is, and
the booze raining down he was asked about that, and
like mortar firing down from the upper balcony there at

(05:20):
the stadium formerly known as Hinz Field. And instead of ducking,
instead of being defensive and pushing back and all that, No,
he was able to take his little clippers and he
clipped the red wire, not the blue wire, because the
blue wire would have gone kerfluey. He clipped the red
wire with his bare hands, showing you the ability that

(05:45):
he's the captain of the bomb squad and he can't
cut the blue wire because it's kerfluey. You got to
cut the red wire. He cut the red wire and
he did it just before everything exploded, So there you go.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
He didn't argue.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Tomlin didn't push back, he did deflect none of that stuff.
He didn't whind about hurt feelings and all that stuff.
He basically said, you're mad and you're right. You're mad
and you're right. He took the air out of the
angry balloon, is what Mike Tomlin did. And he also

(06:18):
used the Spengali effect is what he used on this
these Bengali effect here that Tomlin has the ability to
mesmerize and hypnotize. He could mesmerize a parking meter. Mike
Tomlin the way that he speaks, and people have upset
and the team hasn't won a playoff game in a

(06:39):
long time. They don't look like they're gonna win a
playoff game this year. If they even get to the playoffs,
that's not a guarantee.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
Uh So, there's a lot of stuff.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
Going on and the people upset and they're like, you know.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
But Mike, he sounds kind of like he knows what
he's doing. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
So Tomlin's Pittsburgh Steeler football team. The way they've played
most of the season. Again, they're not the worst team.
They're not the greast. They've played like they've been zombie
fied the Steelers here, and they're zombies, slow walkers, just
a little off where they need to be, just a

(07:18):
little bit off. The Steelers are twenty eighth in offense.
And if you think that's not great, how about their defense.
The defense has to be better than twenty eight No,
twenty eighth in total defense this year? Holy Sean, the
hood guy Batman, what's going on? And so there we are.
That's not balance.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
Who they're twenty eighth and twenty eighth. That's ballot.

Speaker 5 (07:40):
No.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
No, that is symmetry of suck, is what that is.
That's not balance. That symmetry of suck. So I hope
you enjoy that a complete boone doggle. The Steelers season
so far, and that team consistently for five six seven
years has served up slow turned vanilla ice cream. They

(08:06):
don't serve anything other than slow turned vanilla ice cream.
And then people say, well, we want sprinkles we'd like
to get. Well, we don't have any sprinkles. All we
have is vanilla ice cream, is slow turned vanilla. I scream,
but we want some fudge. Don't give you any fudge.
We have no fudge for you. Sorry, Well, what about
a nice waffle cone? We don't have waffle Can I
get a waffle bawl? We don't have waffle balls. I'm sorry,
we don't have that. All we have is vanilla ice

(08:27):
cream and you have to eat with your hands. That's
the other football. That's what it is here. And Tomlin
as the pied Piper. He knows he's golden. Tomlin knows
either he keeps the job in Pittsburgh, which is the
most likely outcome because they don't get rid of coaches,
and either that or he goes and gets some no

(08:48):
show TV job somewhere where he can just spew nonsense
and get paid tons of money and not doing any
prep like Tom Brady, So you could do that, or
the other option is he goes and gets another coaching job.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
So we're at the NFL level.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
We'll get hired in two minutes if he is let
go by the Steels, which is very unlikely. But he's
the pipe piper, that's what he is. He's piping the
pied piper. You put the parade behind Tomlin and of course,
unfortunately the parade behind him is dragging one leg. That's
his team, which is not ideal groaning, and they're selling
punts a dime a dozen. You get twelve punts for

(09:24):
one dime. It's really quite the operation they've got going
there in PITTSBURGHH meanwhah to the Warp Speed Sports Wire,
not the High Speed Sports Wire, the Warp Speed Sports
Wire where Adam Feelind has found a new home. Adam Feelin,
I don't know if you saw this or maybe not,
maybe you did not keep up on this. And they're
very concerned about washed up wide receivers where they end

(09:46):
up late of the Minnesota Vikings. We have learned now
that Adam Feelin is taking his talents too Pittsburgh. He's
gonna join Mike Tomlin. And the Steels has claimed off waivers.
They fire you, and every other business can claim the
fired employee. And Adam Feeling asked to be given the
pink slip. He was given the pink slip. And so

(10:09):
there we go. All right, the question what does washed
up wide receiver Adam Feelnd bring to the Petsburg Steelers?

Speaker 1 (10:20):
All right, so I'll tell you what he brings.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
Okay, after several minutes of contemplating on the long drive
in from the north Woods, contemplating what Adam Feeling brings
to the Steers, think of it in the holiday spirit.
He's like a Christmas ornament, or in this case, a
roster ornament. And what does that mean. That means that
if you've watched football casually, Adam Feeling looks great hanging

(10:46):
from the depth chart tree, looks really good night sparkles
under the lights at the facility, and you're like, oh,
that's a name I've heard of. This guy used to
be one of the top receivers in the NFL with
the Vikings. And he also so absolutely does not change
the direction of the team, doesn't change the direction of
the team, the Steelers passing offense.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
Let me spell it out for you. It's E N
E M C.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
And namick there nay. Pittsburgh is where wide receivers go
to run the five yard curl and pray for sunlight.
Of course, this time of the year you are, and
it's got.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
It's got.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
That offense has less downfield juice. Where's the juice? All right,
there's no juice there. Uh, They've They've got less juice
than a dead car battery on the side of the
interstate in the in the blizzard back in Minnesota where
Adam Field was. Okay, good luck on that. And these
guys can barely complete a pass. Literally, if you look
at the numbers. I'm not making this, they can barely

(11:50):
complete a pass beyond ten yards.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
They need a.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
Flight plan, and even then they don't get clearance to
complete the pass over ten yards.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
So it's a big mess.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
So let's Adam Feelin can hire a special personal coach,
Poncetelyon Ponstellion as his personal trainer.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
And the legend is one of the great legends that the.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
Waters of Florida, famously the fountain of Youth, the springs
of youth. Well, how about has anyone checked the mononga HeLa.
What if Ponstellion was wrong and the waters that will
keep us living forever are in the mononga HeLa or
the Allegheny, Why didn't anyone check that? Bad job by them?
Can hire Ponstellion as Adam Feelin's guy, and then there

(12:37):
you go. The fountain of youth will be bubbling up somewhere,
and of course that's not likely to happen. So that
means this is a cosmetic, a purely cosmetic move.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
It's kind of like going out to the.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
Desert and seeing a cactus and putting lipstick on the cactus. Well,
it looks okay, but it's still a cactus.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
Not gonna do anything with it. That's it.

Speaker 2 (12:59):
Feelin is an iPhone twelve in a world of iPhone seventeen, Pro, Max, Ultra,
Infinity and Beyond whatever, whatever, whatever whatever dumb names they
come up with for these phones. So he's a warm body.
I assume he's got a warm body. He's not dead,

(13:20):
so I assume he's got a warm body. And he's
a good seat filler. Good seat filler looks good. Nostalgia,
you can tell oh, you remember what this guy feeling
was with the Vikings and he was great in twenty twenty.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
You remember that. Yeah, so name you recognize.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
So you got that name you recognize, and you kind
of check the box and what's in the what's in
the box. You just check the box. So the Steelers
what they need is dinomte. They did not get dynamite.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
They did not. They picked up a nice scented candle.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
That's what they got. So if your dog farts, you
can light the candle and you've got a nice scent there,
and it's just great and wonderful.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
Now.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
On the Malord report card for the Adam Theelen edition,
the most important scorecard of them all, the Malord report
card for Adam Thielen going from Minnesota the Pittsburgh on waivers.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
Did I give it an A, A B, A you
go to be? Did I give it a C, A
D or an F? No, none of that.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
On the Mallard report card, I gave it a P
for placebo. The placebo effect is what I gave it.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
All right. Meanwhile, last word, this is a good story.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
I saw this and it's it's continued to get better
and better and better. And better and better. So we'll
go to Gotham. A lot of stuff going on a
giant suck. But there's a lot of stuff going on
around the Giants which is somewhat interesting, and I have
a talk show to do, so I think this is
interesting and I wanted to share it with you if
you didn't see this. So the Giants have this stud
rookie out of Penn State, Abdual Carter, who so far

(14:54):
his elite skill is not showing up to team meetings
and practices on time.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
He's really good.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
Like, if you want an elite edge rusher who is
so good he can't show up on time to work,
you've got your guy. Obdual Carter is really good. So
he got benched. You saw the Money Night game. He
did not play the first two series of that game.
That is the second time Abdul Carter has been benched
for malfeasance and truancy and all that stuff. That was

(15:21):
against the Patriots when by the time he got into
the game was seventeen to nothing. Yeah, game over, game
over at that point. Anyway, get to the point, please, So,
although he was initially reported that Carter was benched for
disciplinary reasons, there was a fake report that got some

(15:42):
legs online that claimed the reason abdul Carter was punished
was for watching porn in a team meeting. Yeah, that's
totally fake report, right. It was a parody account on
x that spread the rumor. And the reason we're bringing
it up is because what do you think abdul Carter

(16:02):
did the mensa? The mensa for the New York Giants.
What do you think he did? Do you think he
ignored the story? Be said no comment, which is a
way way of annoying the story, or ce sent out
a comment trying to debunk the satire story.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding. Yes,
so this numb nuts.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
Abdul Carter decided, I'm gonna respond to the obvious fake story.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
Let me tell you something, even if these guys were
watching porn in a meeting, they're not gonna.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
Say it publicly, all right anyway, So abdul Carter responded
and then deleted the post on social media. The post
said stop this is his post, stop slandering my name
real and now I'm gonna clean this up because we're
on the radio. Lucky Tony would say the word but
I'm gonna clean it up real poop. He said, a

(16:56):
different word. It starts with an S. But I don't
know that word. You know, we're kids. We can't say
that word. We're not a grown ups. It's not the
middle of the night. We can't say that. We'll be
in trouble. So anyway, that's the quote. And he said,
and if you believe that, BS, you stupid, not your stupid,
you stupid.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
Carter then, of course did what everyone does, trying to
delete the evidence. He deleted the post. We know how
that works. I know about it. I didn't see it
in real time. So question, how do you classify the giants?
Edge Rusher abdual Carter, responding passionately to a satire report.

Speaker 1 (17:36):
I don't want to say a report. It was something
busting balls on social media.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
So Carter committed the NFL's version of an unforced error,
big thing in tennis, right, unforced error. This was It
wasn't just a mistake, just a mistake. This was an
Emmy Award type of performance as in me as in
mental error by abdul Carter. Emmy the kind that you

(18:04):
submit for consideration in the category in Hollywood for outstanding
achievement in making a bad story worse the winner, Abdull Carter, congratulations.
So a parody account which was obviously a parody account,
a cartoon character that's got some kind of Wi Fi
hook up, and they throw out a fake story claiming

(18:26):
that Abdull Carter got benched because he was watching porno
in a team meeting, which is obviously bogus and total satire,
not a grain of truth in it, not even close.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
And what does Abdul Carter do?

Speaker 2 (18:39):
He quote, tweets, it, blast, it deletes it then fires
off if you believe that'd be asked, you stupid. Congratulations
to Abdull.

Speaker 1 (18:49):
Carter, the New York Giants. You just poured rocket fuel
on a spark, just a little spark.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
That was dying on the vine there, and you turned
to nothing burger into a double whopper with extra cheese.
Congratulations on that. So this is what these social media overlords,
this is what they dream of, the dumb athlete handing
them free content. Congratulations, you've done it, amplifying nonsense and

(19:18):
chitch chitching chit chain and doing the manipulation in the
matrix for them. So a dual Carter, obviously a fan
of Disney growing up. He loved not Mickey Mouse, not Goofy.
He was a fan of Dumbo. Loves the Dumbo absolute
grab those giant ears from Dumbo and go around and

(19:39):
round and round and round and the fake story straight
into prime time. So a rookie mistake. Great thing when
you're a rookie. Anything you do, Oh, it's just a
rookie mistake. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you'd
like to be part of this, looks like the phones

he hardly played the flagship up here told us he
was looking to go to a team where he could
win a. Chip well that's not With Aaron. Rodgers did

(25:19):
he have a choice of what team to go? To so, Technically,
andy first of, all you'd say he didn't have a
choice because he was claimed off Waivers Adam, Feelin, however
knowing how they make the hot dogs and knowing knowing
how that, works, generally what happens is the steers are, like,
hey we're thinking about claiming.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
You do you want to play?

Speaker 2 (25:39):
Here and So feeling would have to give the thumbs
up on that if he if he didn't give the
thumbs up through his, agent then he wouldn't have ended
up In. Pittsburgh very rarely does that happen anymore because
the players are.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
