• 1:58
  Speaker 1: The way tire buying should be our lead. This hour
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: is from beautiful South Florida, a vacation destination. Now, there
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: was a time when I was a kid. I'm old now,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: but when I was a kid that the Dolphins always
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: had good football, the Miami Dolphins. That's a long time ago.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Dolphins suck anyway that they they're good for what we
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: do in my occupation here, so we thank them for that.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: The Dolphins have a quarterback named to a tongue of
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: I Lo, who, when he's upright, is kind of average,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: kind of average, and he's somehow has been able to
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: stay healthy recently. We'll see if that continues. But to
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: a tongue of ilow, the Dolphin quarterback filling the content machine. Now,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: when I went to bed after the overnight show yesterday,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: I did not anticipate that we would be leading off
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: with the Dolphins. But that's the magic. That's the magic.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: You don't know, it's the hocus pocus. So Dolphin quarterback
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: to a tongue of I Lawa, did not nibble around
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: the edges when it came to the cheetah, Cheata cheata Cheetah. Now,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: if you didn't hear this, maybe not Tua announcing that
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: the relationship with star receiver Tyreek Hill, remember him, Yeah,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: still a work in progress now, not just for Tua,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: but for the entire Dolphins team. In fact, just to
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: prove I'm not making this up, we have the audio tape.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: So let's go to the audio tape. Here's Tua commenting
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: on Tyreek Hill and the situation and take her listen.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: I would say, we're still continuing to do that. But
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: it's not just with me, it's it's with a lot
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: of the guys. I'm not the only one that heard that.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: You guys, aren't the older people that heard that. You
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: know a lot of people that followed football, that followed
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: the Miami Dolphins that followed Tyreek that are fans of his.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Everyone has seen that.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: So when you say something like that, it's you don't
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: just come back.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: From that with a my bad. Now you got you
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: gotta work that that relationship up. You got to build
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: everything up again. And yeah that it's the work in progress,
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: not just for me but for everybody.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: All right, there you go. Now Hill did apologize for
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: what it's worth for his activity. You might remember if
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: you're old enough to remember the last NFL season so
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: long ago. In case you forgot them, maybe you're a
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: little slow. Tyreek Hill snapped at the end of the
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: year and said, I'm out bro. I shouldn't do that
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: at the end of the show. I have a bad show.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: I say I'm out bro. But he said it was
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: great playing here, meaning in Miami, but at the end
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: of the day, got to do what's best for my
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: career because I'm too much of a competitor to be
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: just out there. And so that was that, and he'll's back.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: And you heard what the quarterback had to say. So
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: let us discuss the question to a tongue of Iloa,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: hinting as you heard there of aible Dolphin civil war.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: That's what I heard as he spoke out on the
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: relationship with Tyreek Kill and his request to leave at
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: the end of last season. So is there something deeper
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: going on here? Is there something deeper? So I've got
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Dali Lama, kombucha bar, and Walmart Greeter and we will
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and put the puzzle piece,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: the jigsaw puzzle piece in the puzzle to complete the puzzle.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: So a listen, you break this down. Is there something
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: deeper going on? Of course, like what do you smell
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: around the dolphins? You got your nose out, you sniffer, Right,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: it's not sunscreen, it's not seawater, it's not try again,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: that would be in my professional analysis for the dolphins,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: gasoline and smoke. And here's why, right, because the dolphins
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: are a full blown tire fire waiting to explode. And
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: now Tua talking about working in this part of the movie.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: In this part of the movie, Tua is the Dalai
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Lama of dysfunction, and he heard he was trying to
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: play the peacemaker, trying to play the peacemaker, but at
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: the same time letting you and I know that, Yeah,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: there's a little bit of a civil war brewing behind
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: the South Beach curtains there, and all of this because
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill, the cheetah who turned into a housecat the
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: second things got really bad there in Miami. He saw
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: the real Tyreek Hill. He begged to be traded, and
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: suddenly he pops up there talking about how if you're
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: seeing his comments recently, Hill said that he's been going
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: to therapy and the church. Of course, I roll my
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: eyes at that. You don't get to quote the Bible
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: and your therapist like you get out of the cat house,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: not doghouse. I said, cat house free of charge. But
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: it's not monopoly. I don't believe. If it is, that's
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: news to me. Believe it's the NFL. Now, the second
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: part of this is there a bigger underlying condition with
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: the Dolphins, and you can't see unless you're watching the
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: rebroadcast on the YouTube channel. I'm nodding my head, yes, Now,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: what is it right? That would be enter in stage
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: left hipster head coach Mike McDaniel. The plot thickens. Now.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong, I like the soundbites. He's good
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: for at least three or four goofy things to say,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: during the year, so we like the soundbites. However, he
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: always looks like he's late for some kind of sit
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: down NPR interview or a podcast recording at a kombucha
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: t bar. And you know, listen, if people say he's
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: a great play caller, he really gets offense and he
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: understands that. But don't kid yourself, right if you mean,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: just look at the guy. The man could not lead
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: a silent prayer, and he's leading a locker room of
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: I think alpha males. I believe that's what an NFL
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: locker room is, nothing but alpha males and and people
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: with multi million dollar checks and egos to match. So listen,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: the Dolphins ft off. Let's call it like it is here.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: They screwed up. They should have could have would have
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: traded Tyreek Hill and said bye bye, but they didn't
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: do it right. They should have done that. He's at
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: the age, he's at that tipping point Tyreek where you know,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: how much does he have left in the tank. It's
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: gonna become a diminishing asset soon. If he's not producing
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: and he's whining, what's the point you can get some
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: other stiff to play wide receiver? So Miami brass. They
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: had a golden opportunity to move on, to re establish
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: some kind of control. But what do they do instead
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: of that? They let this guy tiptoe, just a little
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: tiptoe out of the bubble of trust and waltz right
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: back in like nothing happened. And so now he's talking
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: about being a better teammate. Too late, dude, you already
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: let the match. It's like every movie. There, the dynamite
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: sticks on fire, and so you're left with Tua tongue Bylow,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: who's caught in the middle. Right, he's in the middle.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: He's trying to keep the house from collapsing. And Tua knows,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: and so does the Dolphin head coach there, the hipster
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel, that if this goes as bad as it's looking,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: if somehow the Dolphins finished behind not only the Bills,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: but the Patriots, and if the Jets somehow finish ahead
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: of them, then it's turned out the last the parties over,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: they will find a way to blow that thing up
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: with Tua, and the coach will be Gonzo. So this
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: is a last opportunity for Tua in Miami, and he
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: knows it, and so the walls are collapsing, and you
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: can see it, and I watch it. I was saying
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: for our blind listeners. You look, you look at his
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: eyes there, and he looks like a guy who who
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: knows that this is a recipe that he's got in
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: his hands, a recipe for disaster. It's got all the ingredients.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: You've got a divided locker room. Check, you've got a
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: deva wide receiver with one foot out the door. And
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: then he put the foot back in. But he's getting
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: the point where he's not going to get his numbers.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: He didn't have the numbers last year. He likes check
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: that box. You've got a coach who thinks sarcasm and
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Spotify playlists are the keys to good leadership. That's a
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: double check. And so what's next? All right, well move
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: ahead in the recipe. It is cowboom is what it is.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: That's an implosion CAPITALII. All right, now, last word, we
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: go to another developing story in the NFL, to the
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Music City where the number number in the entire league
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: who was a year ago projected as a second round
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: pick but then went to the number one slot, cam
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Ward cam Ward rookie Tennessee Titan quarterback. So cam Ward
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: was asked how he reacted to the news that the incumbent,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: the guy that was the starter who likes mayonnaise, Will Levis,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: quarterback Will Levis has been ruled out for the twenty
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: twenty five regular season. And did you hear his response?
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: You did not. Okay, this thing's gone viral. Let's go
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: to the audio tape. Here's cam Ward. Take a listen.
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: What was your reaction to the news that Levison decided
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: to have surgery? And it's kind of subtracted from the
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: quarterback round.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Now, oh, I really don't have a reaction. I focus
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: on cam Ward. Yeah, look at that. I didn't I
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: play that again, This is cam Ward. He's asked about
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: a team. Well, lews degals, what.
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: Was your reaction to the US and Levison decided to
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: have surgery? And it's kind of subtracted from the water background.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Now, oh, I really didn't have a reaction. I focus
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: on caam Warren oh Man didn't have a reaction. I
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: focus on Camboard. Well, that went viral. It was a
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: sliver of a longer sound bite, but that's the one
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: that got played millions of times. And the question on
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: this when many fans seem to be upset that the
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: media did cam wore dirty. They did him dirty because
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: that clip went viral. Is that how you see it?
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Is that how you see it? So that is not
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: how I see it. On this side of the microphone,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: all is fair in love, war and the wild West
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: of the NFL media world. And you put and this
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: is not that difficult. I know there's a lot of
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: dumb people in the world, but this is not that
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: difficult anymore. With an IQ above, ten should figure out
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: that if you're in the media, you put the most
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: interesting quote on a pedestal, and cam Ward who's talking
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: about himself in the third person, like he's the rock
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: or something. I focus on cam Ward ding ding ding
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: ding ding. Yeah, that's the moneymaker, right. That's impressive when
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: you consider cam Ward has played as many NFL games
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: as you and I have zero zippo not a bupkis
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: all right, no snaps in the NFL. It's kind of
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: like this is one of those things. It's like a
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Walmart greeter coming out and said, hey, welcome to the NFL. Pal,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: You're not in Pullman, Washington. Even though cam Warden went
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: to Miami played longer at Washington State, like this is
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: not Washington State versus Northern Colorado in front of seventy
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: seven people, And I think there was a skunk at
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: that game. You're in the league and everything you say
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: is clipped, it is tweeted, it is meaned, it is debated,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: and then it's debated again. Cam Ward in that clip,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: and again it wasn't the whole clip, but he came
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: off as a bit robotic and like he was programmed
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: by a PR firm and he somehow failed. There was
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: a glitch in the thing of a jig and it
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: didn't work, and you just had the door blown open
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: for you to be the starter. Now, in all fairness,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: I think you and I can agree that cam Ward
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: was going to be the starter anyway. There is no
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: even small competition at this point. I mean, they're gonna
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: sign somebody else, but it's gonna be a turd. And
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: so he could not even read the stock answer off
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: the Q card right twenty twenty five And what does
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: that mean if you're in the media. Clickety clicks are
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: the currency now, like the media get paid in that world.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: They don't get paid for touchdown passes. They don't and
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: unless they work for the team website and they're on
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: the payroll. They don't get paid for fluff pieces, which
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: I know a lot of you love, you love the
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: fluff fluffy mc fluff, but that's not ours. You get
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: paid for engagement. And player A says something cold and
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: detached like that, or player B says something in the
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: third person that is cha ching, cha ching, cha ching,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: And this is the carnival. It's been the carnival for many,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: many years. It's the carnival. Like the NFL isn't just football.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: It's our daily soap opera. But it's been right. It's
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: football plus a lot more. It's the personality part of it.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: It's the day to day reality show. Because listen, in
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: the NFL, we know they we love watching our football,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: but they only play seventeen regular season games. Each team
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: plays seventeen regular season games. It's a reality show that
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: has a budget of what twelve billion or something like that.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: And the second you go third person, you've officially entered
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: the entertainment business. All right, that's what the biggest douchebags
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: in the world do. They talk in the third person,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: and so welcome to the big leagues. You're in the
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: big leagues. Now, wee a cam hoard everything you say
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: can and we'll be used against you in the court
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: of public conversation and it will be posted. It will
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: be put on radio shows in the middle of the night,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: and then podcasts, and I'm sure you'll bring it up
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: if you ever become good and you want to get
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: some kind of endorsement deal with Nike, you'll say, well,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: look at how many times I went viral. I'm mister viral.
• 16:34

  Speaker 1: Making it rain Baby. Welcome in the beginning of another
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: hour of the Ben Mahler Show. As we continue the
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Red Eye flight, we are in the air everywhere, hand
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: in hand as we provide moonlight. Mallard monologues coast to coast,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: border to border and beyond on the vast and voice
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: farously powerful microphones of fsr M monating live from the
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: hammer as we hammer away, the Hot Sports takes one
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: after another from the Fox Sports radio studios, as approved
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: by former WNBA fans, Supermarket Steve So Supermarket Steve used
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: to get very upset that we only talked about Caitlin Clark.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: We wouldn't talk about the WNBA, and you're very upset
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: about that. And then after the WNBA players protested, he
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: now does not like the WNBA, so he's okay with
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: us ignoring the WNBA. Now, this portion of the Ben
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: Malers Show made possible in part by our friends at
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: tire Rack. For over forty years, tire Rack has been
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: helping customers find the right tires for how, what and
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: where they drive, ship fast and freeback by free road
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: tire rack dot Com. The Way tire Buying Showy. So
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: our lead this hour is from the Frozen Tundra. So
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: the story that happens every time around this time, every
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: year around this time, much like certain events Punk Satani
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Phil will he see his shadow? How many more weeks
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: of winter the swallows returning to Capistrano. So it was
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: open book Day in Green Bay. Oh man, I always
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: look forward to Open book Day in Green Bay. It's great,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: it really is. So for some reason you're not familiar
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: with I don't know how you wouldn't beat, but maybe
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: you're not paying attention. So, as a publicly owned football team,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: the green Bay Packers have to let everyone know all
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: of the math, all of the numbers, and they revealed
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: the national revenue sharing from the previous fiscal year. This
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: is not Wall Street Radio turns out though, that the
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: green Bay Packers were given a check by their sugar
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: dotty at the NFL four hundred and thirty two point
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: six million, four hundred and thirty two point six million.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: This a year after national revenue top four hundred million,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: and so first time over the four hundred million threshold.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: So that the finance is the only peak behind the curtain.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: The only way we look and see what's on the
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: other side into the NFL's revenue sharing numbers is again,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: you know, the Packers, not just to bore you with
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: the minutia, but as the only publicly owned team. The
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: packers are required to reveal their financial information on an
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: annual basis. So what does that mean. Let's break it
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: down with four hundred thirty two point six million distributed,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: and you do the math on that, divide it. Thirty
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: two NFL teams got four hundred thirty two point six million.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: That means the league as a whole shared more than
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: thirteen billion in revenue. More than thirteen billion if my
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: malor math is correct from the previous fiscal year. So
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: a little bit better than the Overnight show. So let
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: us discuss the question where are you at on the
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: NFL handing over checks to each team for four hundred
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: and thirty two million in national revenue over the last year.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: So I've got El Chapo, Ozzie and Mark Jackson, and
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we're
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: gonna go get some petty cash out of the NFL's
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: ATM machine. So number I said number. What this is
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: is a refresher course the NFL. We say it all
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: the time, but for those that don't listen all the time,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: the NFL is the most idiot proof business in America.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Remember years ago, I was thinking about doing another side hustle.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: I always had two or three media jobs. I get
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: this show, I got a podcast. Hopefully they'll bring the
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: TV show back. But I've always got a lot of
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: stuff going on. I always got a lot of stuff
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: going on. I thought, well, maybe I'll do a little
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: side hustle. I was like, I was looking at it, like,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: what are the most idiot proof businesses? And they're like
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: vending machines atm machines, although that's risky because people might,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: you know, rob you with a gun and take your money.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Laundromat things like that, or running a McDonald's, you know,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: getting a successful fast food frame, which is very expensive
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: to get one of those. Except so think of the
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: NFL kind of like a Mickeyd's, except with a lot
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: more money, right, And you can't screw this thing up.
• 23:09
  Speaker 8: You can't.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Like there's some real n income poops that own NFL teams,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: and these these owners, I'm convinced they could. They could
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: sleep through the league meetings, they could light the playbooks
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: on fire while they're smoking their cigars, and they still
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: cash these ridiculous checks. It's like every year, like clockwork,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: here come the Green Bay Packers, the Squeaky reel. Now.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: I was told several years back. I don't even know exactly.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's many, many years. It all runs together.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: It's like a blank, giant blob of time. But I
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: was told by some of the works of the NFL
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: who who was an associated mind, that the league years
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: ago tried to find a way to have the Packers
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: be owned by some meaning they would no longer be
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: part of the community. And they were. They had lawyers
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: look at everything and all the agreements because it's a
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: bit of a problem. The Packers are the squeaky wheel
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: of the NFL, the only team in the industrial complex
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: of North American sport in the big sports that matter
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: that's owned by I say, owned by the fans, but
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: I have some friends of mine that owned the Packers.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: They bought stock in the Packers. It's not like you
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: get to decide who the quarterback is, but it means
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: for our purposes every July we get to play Bikkaboo,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: pik kaboo, behind the Velvet Curtain, Behind the Velvet Curtain,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: and Sweet Baby Jesus. It's like opening El Chapo's ledger
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: and finding just how much money those drug cartels make.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: Four hundred and thirty two million per team in national revenue.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: And so let's break that down unscientifically for those of
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: you that are slow learners, because I was a slow learner.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: That's not ticket sales. That's not the beer money. That's
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: not the nachos, the peanuts, the hot dogs. That's TV.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: That's gambling partnership money. That's the streaming money. That's thirteen
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: point eight billion sliced up like a drug cartel, profit
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: sharing operation. These guys are laundering the American passion, pure profit,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: pure profit. It's like the NFL has so much money.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: In my head, they've gone out to somewhere in Missouri
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: and they've got storage units. Maybe Ronnie the Bullet, Ronnie
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: the Bullet out there can go in there and find
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: the storage unit where they put the cash in there.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: It's like Breaking Bad season five. So maybe it's sound
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: in New Mexico, but like, what are they doing? Like
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but they building new yachts every year.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: They got gold plated iPads, they got I mean, my god,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: they could put a NFL game if they want, They
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: could put it in on the moon, and not because
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: they need to do that, just because they can just
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: because they can. And the packers, and of course they're
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: forced to tell the truth. And they reported an eighty
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: three point seven million dollar operating profit last year. Good
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: for the I'm not ripping them. I may good for them.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: May every business be profitable, not every business? And can
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: they actually reward their employees unlike some cheap companies. All right,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: that's up twenty three million year to year, right, twenty
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: three million, And so it's listen, it's good for them.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: They're successful. Meanwhile, you think about the NFL, and it
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter whether you're good or not. The Cleveland Browns blow,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: and you know, they can go out there and win
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: four games and they still get the same game check
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: or the same check, not a game check, but the
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: same money. And the Browns could hire a kangaroo to
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: run the team and they'd still turn a profit with
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: a kangaroo. Okay, the NFL is the casino and casinos
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: make money, but they this one always makes money. I
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: got a lot of money you don't give. You don't
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: give any other business that kind. I mean, I'm sure
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: there's some Wall Street places, some defense contractors that make
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: a ton of money and all that, But my god,
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: it is. It is insane. So remember that. Now we
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: do talk about who's worth money, who's not worth money.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: I don't want to hear any sob stories about some
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: owner crying poverty and all that stuff. When these guys
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: say they can't afford to pay a player, they can
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: always afford to pay a player. The issue is not
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: whether you can afford to pay the player. The issues
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: you want to play pay the player. Is the player
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: worth the money? And for a team to say, wow,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: we can't afford, like a Bengals to it's like all
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: of your payroll is covered by the set by the
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: check from the league, right, So it's just it's really
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: it's like Jeff Bezos saying I'm on a budget, and
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: you know, come on, the only thing you're really budgeting
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: is how many jets you're gonna buy this year, and
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: how many yachts and all that stuff. And the NFL
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: at this point, the NFL is not just a sport.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: It's the cartel. But they do have nice helmets, they
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: do have nice summits. Now page two to Jersey we go,
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: and we have a quarterback one that has been announced
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: coach Brian Dayball, who's still hanging around somehow. You talk,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: you about a cat with nine lives. So Brian Dable
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: named Russell Wilson, mister unlimited, Russell Wilson the Giants starting
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: quarterback before training camp. It hasn't really gotten going, but
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Brian Dable, as training camp began, named Russell Wilson as
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: the Giants starting quarterback. That is blank. We'll play the
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: fill in the blank game. So Brian Dable naming Russell
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Wilson QB one for the Giants is blank. My fill
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: in the blank is I wrote down on my scorecard.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Chicken fertilizer is what that is. I'd rather say the
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: other word, but we're not allowed to. That is chicken
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: bleep is what it is by the Giants. It's absolute garbage,
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: all right. The fact that Brian Dable anointed Russell Wilson
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: the number one quarter like, does he not realize it's
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, it's not twenty fourteen or twenty fifteen.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: Spoiler alert. This just into the Fox Sports radio newsroom.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: Russell Wilson there, she blows. He's not good, right, and
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: he has not been the guy. He hasn't been that
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: guy in a while. And this is a total vote
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: of no confidence for Jackson Dart, the rookie and famous
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: Jameis Winston and at least pretend, at least pretend like
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: there's a competition. Right, No, this reeks of the late
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: Ozzy Osbourne classic crazy Train. It's a desperation from Brian Daball.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: No why right? Not only is Russell Wilson's stink, it's
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: bigger than that. Right, He's a glorified game manager. He's
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: got a bloated resume. The guy has been matt at
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: best for three years running. And this goes back to
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: something we've talked about for many, many years behind these microphones.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: It is the theory the man that shot Liberty Vounce.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: Once the legend becomes the fact, you go with the legend, right,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: you print the legend, you talk about the legend. And
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: the legend of Russell Wilson was established in those salad
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: days in Seattle with the legion of Boom and all that.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: And Russell Wilson has as many MVP votes as I've
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: got and you've got right, He's never been really all
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: that great, but he had some good defensive teams and
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: he was always something. There were always three or four
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: or five or six or seven or eight quarterbacks better.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Now there are twenty quarterbacks often better than him. And
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: his last year in Seattle was not that great. He
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: went to Denver, was a dumpster fire, went to Pittsburgh
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: police unless you like those five yard outs, And of
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: course people called that a career revival. I didn't realize
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: a five yard out was a career revival. Apparently it is.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: And in Russ, I get he's living off the man
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: that shot Liberty Vunce. He's living off that one super
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Bowl and the let Russ cook hype from back in
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: the day, and that's it. And Brian Dabole, the coach
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: who's been billed as the quarterback whisper when he was
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: in Buffalo quarterback whisperer with Josh Allen, and he's just
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: handed Russell Wilson the job. Like why it's again, it's
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: not twenty thirteen, it's we've moved on from that and
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: now it's not all bad because we do anticipate that
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: we'll get some good corny sound, some good corny sound
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: rehearse slogan. Russ is like a mix of a motivational
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: speaker and a cheese ball, and he's ad a youth
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: pastor retreat because on the field, he's just blah bad,
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: all right, blah blah blah blah blah bad, and that's bad,
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: but he's not and he's not even fun bad though,
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: as we pointed out, Jameis Winston and I want the
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: record to show the Ben Malors show we support Jameis Winston.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Jameis Winston's chaos. Jameis Winston is a pick six to
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: the right, crab legs of the left, four hundred yard
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: passing games followed by four turnovers in the middle, and
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: you know what that is entertainment. You're bad, but at
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: least you're entertaining. You know what. Russ is balling And
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: this just feels like Brian Dable, who's one of those
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: guys who's on the hot seat covering his own tookas
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: and he needs to win and he thinks that Russ
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: gives him the quote safe option if you will, all right?
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: Final point, Jeff Philla Delphia. We go where Eagles quarterback
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts explain that he is refusing to wear refusing
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: to wear the recent Super Bowl ring after his MVP
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: performance and all that, hurt says, quote He's moved on,
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: moved on to the new year. It's as simple as that.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: Now that has upset some people, but does it work
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: for you? Does it work for you that Jalen Hurts
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: is not wearing his bling bling So I am nodding
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: my head. Yes, all right, I love it. And as
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: Mark Jackson would say, this is what we call a
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: grown man move. I'll be Benny Brightside. Good job by
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts. All right, Jalen Hurts gets it. You gotta
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: move forward. That is the way this works. Right. We
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: know that accolades people love to celebrate that they sit
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: there and smell themselves, right, But accolades are just the
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: receipts for things you've already done. And it's you know,
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: it's when you become an old dude. You sit on
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: your rocking chair and you talk about the glory days,
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: you drink a glass of lemonade, marcol mar Day and
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: come on the other factor And I'll never forget out
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: a conversation. Years ago, when I was doing some NBA stuff,
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: there was a guy named Phil Jackson, and he used
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: to coach the Bulls and the Lakers, and Phil won
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: more championships than just about anybody. And I remember this
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: was twenty five years ago and Phil Jackson was complaining
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: then about how when he first won a championship I
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: think it was with the Knicks in the seventies, probably
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: fifty years ago whatever, but the championship rings were designed
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: for the person to wear. They were more like class rings.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: And Phil would be complaints of these rings. I can't
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: they're too big, they're for a safety deposit box. They're
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: not to wear.
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: Some people have made them into chains. They're more of
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: a chain thing than something you wear around, and they're
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: so valuable, like you're just asking for someone to steal
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: the ring at gunpoint. So they're not designed to be
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: worn anyway. So I mean to me, I get why
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts isn't doing it and you press the reset button.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: That's part of the deal. And so he's also validated
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: one of the things that we've said, there is no
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: such thing as wait for it momentum. Uncle Ma only
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: exists in Jersey. Uncle Mo used to live in Brooklyn,
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: but he moved to Jersey. He's also validated the fact
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: that you don't get rollover minutes. You know, it's like, oh, well,
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: you play well and you leave a little extra in
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: the tank. No, no, no, no, you either dominate now or
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: people say you're a has been right, you're a bit irrelevant,
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: bit irrelevant? You know what have you done for me lately?
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: All that stuff and wearing that ring is like carrying
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: a trophy to a job interview. It's like announcing, Hey,
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: I'm a douche and here's my trophy to loser move
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: And uh it was Winston Churchill. I don't know if
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: he's the first one to say it. He repeated it,
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: that you don't fight the last war, right, you don't fight,
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: and you don't celebrate as you're fighting another war, the
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: last war, when the new war has already started. So
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: you move on.
• 36:16

  Speaker 1: Mister Blunt and all your other guys, how about that
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: to the third degree? This is one big Ben gets grilled.
• 36:31
  Speaker 8: Cooper lou Tyron Matthew the Honey Badger announced his retirement
• 36:36
  Speaker 8: on Tuesday, ending a decorated twelve year career since coming
• 36:38
  Speaker 8: out of LSU in twenty thirteen. The question now is
• 36:41
  Speaker 8: was his career good enough to get him a gold jacket.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: No, no, good career in borderline Hall of Fame. He
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: wasn't All Pro three times, he was part of an
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: All Decade team. He was never Defensive Player of the Year.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: And you can tell the story of football during his
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: career without mentioning his name. He's got a great nickname,
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: but he does not. You look at the numbers and
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: the impact, and he played on a lot of black teams.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: No next.
• 37:10
  Speaker 8: Warren Moon was recently asked of Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen,
• 37:13
  Speaker 8: and Joe Burrow who he thinks will win a Super
• 37:15
  Speaker 8: Bowl first, and without hesitation, he said Lamar Jackson. He
• 37:18
  Speaker 8: went on to say that it's not because of Jackson
• 37:20
  Speaker 8: being much better than the other two, but because the
• 37:22
  Speaker 8: Ravens have the best team surrounding him. Ben is he
• 37:25
  Speaker 8: right about that part?
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: Uh, Well, the Ravens do have, you know, defense, They
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: got a bunch of alpha dudes on defense and all that.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: But I would still go with Burrow. Burrow plays better
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs and Josh Allen. I put Lamar Jackson third.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: I put sports with Coleman ahead of Lamar Jackson.
• 37:41
  Speaker 8: Next, after you get another Dodgers loss on Tuesday, Dave
• 37:44
  Speaker 8: Roberts said, it better be rock bottom. They did win today,
• 37:47
  Speaker 8: But Ben, that was the dodgers eleventh loss in the
• 37:50
  Speaker 8: last fourteen games. Yet they're still in first place. Is
• 37:52
  Speaker 8: it premature to panic?
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: No, they suck and I'm sick of Dodger fans making excuses.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: They got a bunch of holes in their line of
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: the bullpen blow and they just are so arrogant over
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: there at Dodger Stadium, like, will we be fine, We'll
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: be fine. I don't care. You're losing. You suck. How
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: do we do you passed? I won? I won Loreta
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: another win, red blooded American win. Right there.

  Speaker 8: All right, We're gonna start off with a question from
• 38:50
  Speaker 8: Donkey Sausage Hi, donkey. He would like to know what

• 39:07

• 39:09
  Speaker 1: like that, but I'm always jealous of people that have
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: that ability. That's like the first thing that popped up.

• 39:19
  Speaker 1: body in certain ways. I'm not great at that. What

• 39:46

• 39:49
  Speaker 8: at that I wish I were, But I think that

• 40:01
