• 1:54
  Speaker 4: Showb So our lead this hour, play the head, small man,
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: play the It's one of our old bosses back in
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: the day. I like to tell you that play the hits.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: Don't bury the lead, my man art. We're not gonna
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: bear the lead. So the curtain went up on week.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Number nine, now week nine. Look at that. We even
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: our number nine drop.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: So week nine in the NFL schedule, you had Lamar
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Jackson who actually was going to play this week as
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: opposed to last week when he did psych I'm not
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: playing the conspiracy theory that Lamar tapped out at the
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: last minute even though he had been medically cleared to
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: played and want to play two games in five days. Well,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: he did want to play in Miami or the Miami Era,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: and not actually Miami proper. But Lamar leading the Baltimore
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: buses the bus brigade into South Florida. So if you
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: saw this game was on Amazon Prime, so I know
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: some of our older listeners don't know how.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: To get on him. It was that thing of a
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: jig on the Amazon that's streaming is that I don't
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: understand what that is.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Anyway, we watched, so you would not have to and
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: lamar Jackson action Jackson. No, he only had two hundred
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: and four yards passing, which is and all that sexy.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: That's not that great. However, not one, not two, not three,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: but four four touchdowns. I'm told that's good and so
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: much for the speculation that he was gonna come out
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: be rusty. You know, the first half was not was
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: not great. Game statistically was being won by the Dolphins,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: even though the Ravens had the lead at halftime. The
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Dolphins won the statuet, but in the second half it
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: was turnout. That's the parties over for Miami. As the
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Ravens what they did is they gutted the Dolphins. They
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: gutted them and then they chopped them up in a
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: little bite sized pieces like sushi. Twenty eight to six.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: The final on Thursday, and if you did watch Benny
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: versus the Penny the other day, the Thursday preview.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: We did get that one right. Baltimore three and five.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Now they win their second straight game, and mathematically they
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: are very much in the middle of it in the
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: AFC North, which is wide open, wide.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Open right now.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Now, as per the norm, tight end Mark Andrews the
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: safety blanket for Lamar Jackson.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: He got it done.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: There a couple of touchdown catches. Dereck Henry did not
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: fumble one hundred nineteen yards on nineteen carries. Al Michael's
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: very excited when he crossed the rubicon on one hundred
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: yards on the broadcast. Now that said, you know, because
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: you listen on the regular on the down low here,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: you understand that the story from that game is not
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens success. The story here is on the
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Miami side. The better stories in the losing the locker
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: room where the Dolphins drowned and to a tongue of
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: by loa stumbled and bumbled. Miami now two and seven
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: to and the Dolphins turned the ball over three times.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: There was a too interception and a couple of fumbles
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: there in Miami. On third down they went one of twelve.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Why are you're being so mean?
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Either?
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Seventeen percent doesn't seem very good to me. You know,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: the Ravens had one of the worst defenses in the
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: NFL early in the year. They got some guys back,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: and still that's a pathetic offensive football by the Miami Dolphins.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Considering the selling point was you had the hot shot,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: genius coach and you had the guy that was going
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: to figure things out too and all that. Well, that
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: is a good jumping off point. So let us discuss
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: the question after the blowout loss to the Ravens how
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: much stock? How much stock are you buying? And how
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: much how's the stock looking? A This is a better
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: way to how's the stock looking for the Dolphins? And
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: we're gonna focus in on the dynamic duo of the
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: coach and the quarterback. There's all kinds of rumors flying
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: in the overnight that there's gonna be some major changes
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: in Miami. The trade deadline is next week and we'll
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: get into it right now. My thoughts on this, I've
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: got Tupperware, Ricky Martin, and Sesame Street, that's right, and
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: we will combine all of.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: These things together and we are going to make.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: A pumpkin, which we're going to carve up, kind of
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: like the Ravens carved up the Dolphins in the second half.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: So a the duo, and oh what a duo it is,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: my god.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, YoY uh to a tiny by law, to
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: a tiny by law.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: And Mike McDaniel the coach. There, these same two geniuses
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: who we were told when they were put together, here
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: we're gonna revolutionize offensive football with nothing but great offensive
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: motion and.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Really good locker room vibes, really good.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: And they went out there in an island game. That's right,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: it was an island game, and they got pants pants
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: by the Ravens in the second half, man handled in Miami.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: The headline there, Mike McDaniel.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Ever the fashionist, I thought this was the perfect way
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: to dress if you didn't see the game, or if
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: you're blind like Stevie meet Paul's. Mike McDaniel look like,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: and I'm not making this up here, I'm not.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: We're just gonna say whatever you gonna sue is be
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: a hiberbal lee. You're just trying to get ratings.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: No, Mike McDaniel looked like he had escaped from the
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Dade County lockup.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: We'll have to check with our Dade.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: County expert there, Billy aka weed Man Hippy, to see
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: if that's the case.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: But Mike McDaniel didn't. To me, he looked like he
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: had just gotten out of jail.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: He had the gray sweatpants, he had the gray hoodie,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: and it looked like they were like skinny sweatpants. I've
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: never seen those before. I have skinny jeans. They look
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: at these skinny sweatpants. Anyway, there you right out of
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: prison issue, you know, that was what he was wearing
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: their dolphin logo. Though he did have the dolphin logo,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: so prison issue clothing, which is fitting because this team
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: gives you the feeling that they're they're serving hard time.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: Welcome to the Who's Goal.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: And McDaniel loves to talk about controlling the controller burs.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: It's one of his fallback cliches, control the controller Bulls,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: which is I his effort, attitude, focus, don't pull up
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Plaxago Burris and shoot yourself in the foot. All well,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: all those appeared to be lacking as the game went on.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: And maybe it was just my TV and they looked
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: great on your TV. But I saw them looking sloppy,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: and as we love to say, my favorite entre came
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: from the late great Mike Leech, my favorite all time
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: college football coach, Mike Leach, who said, you're either coaching
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: it or you're allowing it to happen. And the law
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: firm of Tua and McDaniel specializing in a combo dish.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: You've got turnovers on one side of the plate and
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: you have on the other side, you've got blown opportunities.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Now in terms of the stock, which is how we
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: phrase this and how we set this up. You know,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: how's the stock looking for the dolphins dynamic do how
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: much of the stock would you buy? Well, the stock
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: is a penny stock. We're not talking about Apple or Amazon.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: More like Toys r us go and invest in Toys
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: r us or the ninety nine cents stores or Red Lobster. Right,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: you're investing in Tupperware at this point, and it's leading
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: one direction. We are headed down the path, the guard
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: path of Chapter eleven bankruptcy.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: This thing's going to be dissolved.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Here, this combination and all the warning signs are flashing
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: and there's alarm bells going on. Woooooo, just like you
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: can you can almost hear them woooo.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: That's how they sound.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: And so if you look at it in the wide
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: angle lens, it's if you're of a certain age, it
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: is fascinating to see the Dolphins who are on that
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: big board, not a list, not a list terryating, but
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: a big board of teams from your youth that used
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: to dominate. And now you tell someone who's young, a
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: younger person to say, well, you know, the Dolphins used
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: to be good every year, and you know the Raiders.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: Used to be good every who are you?
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: You're a boomer? You know what I'm telling you. I
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: think I remember living it. Maybe it was just a dream.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: But if you look at the wide angle lens, since
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Don Schuler retired, now I realize it's been thirty years,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: the Dolphins have had nine coaches. Of them, number ten
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: is already warming up in the bullpen right now for
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: That includes interim coaches. Since Dan Marino.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Left and what was that ninety nine, two thousand something
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: like that lived ninety nine. Since Dan Marino left, the
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Dolphins have had how many quarterbacks? Twenty five quarterbacks? A
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: parade of horribles. I know you should not be mean
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: to cleiole lemon. I love the name Cleole lemon I do.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: It's a dessert. Actually in Fort Lauderdale, Jay Fiedler, remember
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Ray Lucas did a tour of duty there. Ryan Tannehill
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: up more recently had Teddy Bridgewater. And there you go, now,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Tua and Tua taking a page out of our old
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: boardop Roberto's playbook. There he's driving the struggle bus right
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: off I ninety five, boom into Biscayne Bay, boom.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: So the doomsday.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Clock it's ticking. Tua is sprinting towards the transfer portal.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: Well, they don't have a transfer portal in the NFL,
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: And you you can see all along the sidelines the
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: telltale signs of a collapse.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: Having done this job more than one time, we've seen it.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: It's the usual patterns where guys are slumped over. There's
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: that blank stare on the sidelines, the occasional helmet slam,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: the coach yelling at the players, there's isolation by certain players.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: All that stuff. Players running the wrong roots or routes,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: sloppy tackling, check check check check check, no buy in.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: So it is oh v e r over the whole
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: house of cards and their teal cards coming tumbling down, down, down, down,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: down down down down down down down down down. Now
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: it is time for Miami to go back to where
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: the kissing booth. They gotta go back to the kissing
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Why would they go to the kissing But what are
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: you crazy? Because I learned this it was in I
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: think it was in a Disney movie. You got to
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: keep smooching frogs until you find your prints. In this case,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: find a coach who knows what he's doing, in a
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: quarterback that knows what he's doing, and the prince, of course,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: might be holding a clipboard and a headset. Now it's
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: not all bad news because I am very confident that
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel, once he gets out of his prison Garb
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: can go read the New York Times on an NPR
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: morning show somewhere and bore people that listen to that crap.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: And Tua he'll be giving sermons somewhere about trusting the process.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Of course, the process is broken. And if you know
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: how Tua gives a speech, Mike got more on that later.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: Now turning the page.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: So one of the other storylines here was the reaction
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: of the fan. The stadium emptied out. It looked like
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: a Dodger game. In the seventh inning, they were heading
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: to the parking lot. And Al Michael's had a good
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: line on the Amazon broadcasts as normally people lead the
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: stadium early to beat the traffic, but if you leave
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: the stadium early in Florida there in the South Florida area,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: you're actually gonna go into the.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: Traffic because everyone was leaving.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: And the question is a group of Dolphin fans were
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: wearing paper bags in shame, paper bags and shame. They
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: were three of them lined up there and then they
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: were I'm sure more than that, but any advice to
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: the long suffering South Florida football fan who supports.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: The Miami Dolphins. So I think we can market this.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: I think I think this is a marketing opportunity and
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: if you want to go into it with me, and
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: that's my idea, we can make some T shirts and
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: put like three or four jire Bronis in paper bags
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: and then we're not going to get the NFL trademark.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: They're not going to allow us to use the trademarks,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: so we'll just put them in teal Bright teal with
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: like orange outline jerseys, but that's not breaking the copyright.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: And then the slogan's gonna say South Beach Bag Brigade.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: Why not?
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: And the nineteen eighty nineteen eighty New Orleans Saints a
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: tribute and I heard Al Michaels mentioned this. What al
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Michael's left out though, is one of the reasons that
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: the Saints fans turned to the paper bag. At that time,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: there was a show called The Gong Show that was
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: very popular in America pop culture before the Internet in
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: the early eighties, late seventies, and one of the big
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: stars on The Gong Show was a comedian known as
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: the Unknown Comic, and his whole stick was he wore
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: a paper bag on his head. So the Saints fans
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: really just copied the Unknown Comic and then that became
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: a thing. And I saw one guy they showed even
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: turned a popcorn bucket into.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: A mask of shame. A mask of shame. You can't
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: make it up.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: It was the tropical version of a football funeral played
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: out on the Amazon. And they've gone from back in
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: the old days it was Miami Vice when they had
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Dan Marino and all that. Now it's Miami embarrassed with
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Tua and the fans, and these people are sunburned, defeated,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: and yet paying premium prices to get kicked in the
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: face and the balls on a weekly basis. Now the
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Mallord advice here, and it's rather simple. I would advise
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: the Miami fans to go get a nice jet ski.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: You might have to rent one if you don't know one.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Throw on the old banana hammock and knock down some
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: of my ties and just enjoy yourself, because that's the
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: only way you're surviving the misery. And spoiler alert, if
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: you keep buying tickets for this garbage, you keep buying tickets,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: You're part of the problem. You're not the solution. You
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: are the big dummy in South Florida. These Mama lukes
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: who run these NFL teams, they do not care. And
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: it's really all of professional sports. I've learned my jaded
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: ways over the years, but I've seen how they make
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: the sausage, and I'm telling you, they know that you're hooked.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: The people that run these teams do not care if
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: you're not entertained. They just want to reach into your wallet.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: And they know that if you're engaged, you're gonna watch,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: and the Dolphins are undercover like the Jets and the Browns.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: They just have better ways, right the Dolphins. If you
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: look at the last thirty years, the Dolphins are side
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: by side. If you look at the Van Diagram, they're
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: right there with the Jets and the Browns. They just
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: have better weather and they wear more suntann lotion like
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: the Leprechaun. But you do realize, I mean maybe you
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: don't that it's been almost twenty five years December of
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: two thousand since the football team in Miami won a
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: playoff game. That's a generation plus for the Dolphins. They
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: haven't won a playoff game. Dan Marino was still limping around,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: you had Y two K, the Y two K bug
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: was fresh, and Ricky Martin was topping the charts. The
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: last time the Dolphins were the Kings. When even the
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Kings they just won a playoff game. It's been even
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: longer since they won a Super Bowl.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: My god. So we say it calls for the Miami
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: fans to give the old a bomb, not an a
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: rod an a.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Bomb aka apathy with a capital a detach dis in
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: game age. Do not post on social media about it.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Don't rant about it, just stop caring because the person
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: and this is important lesson in life if you haven't
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: learned yet, the person who cares less has the power.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: The person that doesn't care controls the room. You tank
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: the TV ratings, you dry up the merch, you send
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: a message, right, And this has happened the Dodgers, who
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: are they're gonna blow the World Series this year? But
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: they've been great every year. They're a playoff team and
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: they find ways to f this up most of the time.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: But the Dodger.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Fans boycotted the team, and major League Baseball stepped in
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: and said, okay, we got to get rid of this owner.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: And they did.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: They bought a new owner in and they gave. Of course,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: they made the mistake of even the old owner of
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: the parking lots. But that's it. So I'm telling you,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: if the being counters in Miami, if they see a
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: bunch of red and the Dolphins are in the red there,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: the winds of change will be howling. They will all
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: right now, last word on the Baltimore side, quickly, all right,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: on the Baltimore side. So Lamar Jackson had not one,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: not two, not three but four touchdown passes. As we said,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: he averaged almost nine yards almost nine yards of pass.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: I think the Dolphins were trying to play defense. It
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: didn't look like it. As that was his homecoming, we're
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: told a large contingent of the Lamar Jackson marching and
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: chaud of societies. You might imagine we're there, and Lamar
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: did not disappoint. It was a close game for a half.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: As we said, the Ravens then turned on the after
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: burners and up, up and away, up, up and away.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: All right, Now, question, have Lamar Jackson and the Ravens
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: figured something out? Have they figured out something? That's the question.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: So I'm nodding my head.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: If you're watching on the YouTube channel, and we have
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: two of them at Ben Mahlers Show and also at
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Benny Vspenny that is up by the way. Now, if
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: you want to watch the week nine, don't do it
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: now because I'm doing the show, but later on. But
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: in terms of the question, have Lamar Jackson and the
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Ravens figured out something?
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: I am nodding my head. Yes.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Look, no style points. You know I'm a no style
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: points kind of guy. You don't get style points for
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: beating a team you were supposed to beat. You were
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: big road favorites. So I'm not gonna sit here and say, wow, bravo,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: what a win. They did what adults do. They handled
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: their business. They didn't dominate the stat sheet. They just
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: dominated the scoreboard. It wasn't about the fantasy numbers, even
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: though Lamar had four touchdowns. It was about stacking wins
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: like hotcakes. Lamar looked smooth, smooth as silk. In the
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: second half. You could feel that the Ravens were in
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: total control of the game in the second half.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: And they weren't panicking.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Even at halftime they had a small lead, and they
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: really weren't playing all that well.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: In the second half.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: They just dissected the Dolphins one drive at a time, surgical,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: and it is about time. Baltimore season has been straight
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: out of Dumb and Dumber. They drove halfway across the
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: NFL schedule in the wrong direction, but now they figured out.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: They futched around with their GPS, they recalibrated their GPS
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: and they're digging.
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: Out of the hole three and five.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: But the schedule ahead is all delicious dessert. It's Vikings, Browns, Jets, Bengals.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: It's the hostess lineup. They've got cupcakes to the right,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: ding Dongs to the left, zingers over there, and fruit
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: pies everywhere.
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: And for Lamar Jackson, this is.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Turning into a PBS classic, a Sesame Street type of
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: football situation, as sunny days are sweeping the clouds away
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: for the Ravens and they are on their way to
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: the penthouse in the division and they're figuring out how
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: to get how to get to the very top of
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: the standings at the Mountain Peak, which I didn't know
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: the AFC North was in Sesame Street land, but apparently so.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: If Lamar keeps playing like this and the defense has
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: figured some stuff out, I'm not sure about that. The
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Dolphins just kind of packed it in the second half,
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: but any combination of those things happened. Baltimore is back
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: and they're in business there. They just need to keep it,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: keep it simple, and just beat who you're supposed to be.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: It is the Ben Mallard Show. If you would like
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: to be.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Part eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. We are
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: here all night throughout the overnight. That's eight seven seven
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: nine nine six six three sixty nine. Also coming up,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: a little bit later this hour we'll have the who
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: am I?
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: Game? We look forward to that and you can play
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: along with all of the bits as we go through.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: At every hour there's something you might like it, you
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: might not, But there's something every hour. Next hour we've
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: got Mallard of the third degree, we'll have the Mallard
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Riddle of the Day, the Malat Riddle a day, and
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: lame jokes an hour three and I'm pretty sure we're
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: not gonna have the Coop Scoop.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: Maybe we'll have cheese with breeze.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: We'll do something like that, but we could do that
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: who knows a reason for Coop? And then Sports Jeopardy
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: we'll have that as well. So anyway, eight seven, seven
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: ninety nine on Fox is the number you want to
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: hit me up on X at Ben Mallard, we do
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: read a lot of comments on the air.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: Will be a warned and they're open to interpretation.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: I know Justin and Cincinnati gets a stick up as
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: keyster when I point that out, but really, when you
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: post something on social media, it's like a piece.
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: Of fine art.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: And as we know, when you go to the Louver
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: or any other art museum, it's open to interpretation, and
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: so I interpret what I believe you meant to say.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Because many of you don't know how to spell. You
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: didn't graduate from the third grade, so I have.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: To clean up your spell literate. Yeah, I mean there's
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: a little bit of that.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not the greatest either, but I became
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: a much better speller when I figured out spell check.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: It's amazing.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: All right, straight ahead, call him mister motivation. That's right,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: call him mister motivation. We'll get to that and we will.

• 23:32
  Speaker 1: as a child and became a Saints fan.
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: Our friend, Breeze, that was such a disc that's so good.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: What's so true.
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: I have my I'm my Bloomingdale's trash back now I've
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: moved up. I'm not Trader Joe's anymore.

  Speaker 3: I have a Bloomingdale's trash, you know, for my aides.
• 23:45

• 23:48
  Speaker 6: I'm ed Ordron revealed on Wednesday, Ben he would love
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: to return to LSU as the head coach. What's the
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: chances of that happening?
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: You think I'll give Ed?
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Oh? I want to give him a ten percent chance.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: And the only reason I'm going ten percent is he
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: has to have some boosters. The way these guys get
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: the jobs, you got to suck up to the billionaire
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: boosters billionaire boys club, and if you get one of
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: those guys to sign off and support you, you can
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: get the job. But he failed at the end. He
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: did win with Drew Brees or with Chief gree with
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: Joe Burrow and whatnot.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: Next.
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: Okay, so we're about four days away from the NFL
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: trade deadline. You've talked about a number of trade rumors,
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: a lot.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: Of teams have denied.
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: Which team do you think is going to be most
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: active at the deadline?
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Well, the Giants should trade Russell Wilson or Jameis Winston.
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: I'd like to see Jameis.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Winston go somewhere and play. I like watching him play,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: So that would be one. In the Cleveland Browns, Miles
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Garrett doesn't want to be there, you can get a
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: lot for him.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: We're gonna talk about.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: That more later, but I think that would be the
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: obvious one. Also next, all righty.
• 24:48
  Speaker 6: The seventy six ers are four and oh so far,
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: and people are thinking that they are legit contenders, and
• 24:52
  Speaker 6: for once it isn't. Because of Joelle Embiid. The evolution
• 24:55
  Speaker 6: of Tyrese Maxi has people looking at Philly a little
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: bit different. Ben, do you think he's think a game changer?
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: He's off to a good start. It's we're not even
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: at November first yet.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: I can't.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: I've been trying to watch some of these NBA games.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: I'm not quite there yet. I'm not buying the Sixers.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: When the dust settles, East is wide open. But I'm
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: not buying that they're going to be there at the end,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: mainly because Joel Embiid is still on that team and
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: he's dead weight.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: How did we do? Plus Ben Good?
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Unlike the Saints, I passed a Happy Halloween. This has
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: to be the top Halloween song, right. I can't think
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: of anything that tops the months Tomash Ghostbusters.
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: Not bad either, Bill Miller. It is the Ben Mahler Show.
