- 2:52Speaker 1: the raven has landed. The raven has landed, although it
- 2:58Speaker 1: will not be announced to the sun fully rise today
- 3:00Speaker 1: on this Thursday, but John Harbaugh expected to end up
- 3:04Speaker 1: with the New York Giants. They're working out all of
- 3:08Speaker 1: the docu sign things to cross the t's dot the
- 3:12Speaker 1: i's and all the zeros and how much money is
- 3:15Speaker 1: going to go to taxes and all that stuff. But
- 3:19Speaker 1: our lead this hour, our lead this hour is from
- 3:23Speaker 1: the Burg, the Burgh looking for the replacement. The search
- 3:29Speaker 1: is on the Wild Wild Goose Chase taking place, So
- 3:33Speaker 1: if you've been following it, you likely know some of this,
- 3:36Speaker 1: but maybe not. The Steelers have begun turning over rocks
- 3:40Speaker 1: looking to hire a head coach, and Mike Thomas kind
- 3:45Speaker 1: of hanging out, he's chilling. Not the coaching decided to
- 3:49Speaker 1: take the year off, and it appears that the Pittsburgh
- 3:52Speaker 1: Steelers are horny to hire a Rams coach. We are
- 3:55Speaker 1: told that Pittsburgh has requested head coach interviews with the
- 4:01Speaker 1: Rams defensive coordinator Chris Schuler, but that doesn't really move
- 4:05Speaker 1: the Neil Schuler has been man named, the grandson of
- 4:07Speaker 1: Don Shula, has been named as a candidate for a
- 4:10Speaker 1: lot of teams. The name that popped up that got
- 4:12Speaker 1: my attention is Nate Schielhouse. Who Nate Shielhouse, who is
- 4:19Speaker 1: the passing game coordinator. Sounds like a no show job
- 4:24Speaker 1: for the Rams. Now. These Steelers are also looking to
- 4:27Speaker 1: interview Anthony Weaver, the Dream Weaver, the Dolphins defensive coordinator,
- 4:34Speaker 1: Chargers defensive coordinator in Michigan man Jesse Minter Vikings defensive
- 4:39Speaker 1: coordinator Brian Flores who's currently suing the NFL. Those are
- 4:43Speaker 1: some of the other candidates, and so that's a good
- 4:46Speaker 1: jumping off point. Let us discuss the question what stands
- 4:50Speaker 1: out about the Steelers initial shopping list to replace Mike Tomlin.
- 4:57Speaker 1: So my take on this, I've got Hawaiian shirt, Tricky, Dick,
- 5:02Speaker 1: and Mayhem, and we will combine all of these things
- 5:07Speaker 1: together and we are going to make a smorgasboard, a
- 5:11Speaker 1: smorgasborg of the gobbe Ghoul, the gob I want to
- 5:14Speaker 1: think of Tillo, by the way, he said, A big
- 5:15Speaker 1: gift basket of all this wonderful delicious food from BUCkies
- 5:21Speaker 1: yesterday and everyone happy. We all left with big bags
- 5:24Speaker 1: of BUCkies and that was pretty cool. But in terms
- 5:27Speaker 1: of the question, what stands out about these Steelers shopping
- 5:31Speaker 1: list to replace Mike Tumblin To start, the obvious thing
- 5:35Speaker 1: is that the Steelers, if you look at it, it's
- 5:38Speaker 1: like they're they're like the guy at the grocery store
- 5:42Speaker 1: who's been eating the same steak, the same cut of
- 5:45Speaker 1: steak for nineteen years, and you're like, I kind of
- 5:50Speaker 1: want to try something new. I'm a little tired of it.
- 5:53Speaker 1: I mean, I liked it, but I want I want't.
- 5:55Speaker 1: And but they're they're like, well, I'm comfortable, I don't
- 5:58Speaker 1: know anyone I want want to. Maybe I won't. I
- 6:00Speaker 1: get and under the Mallord microscope, which is my favorite
- 6:04Speaker 1: kind of microscope, and now Gunner in Minnesota approves. So
- 6:07Speaker 1: if you look at this shopping list, it's filled with
- 6:11Speaker 1: a lot of meaty, defensive coaches of buffet. And then
- 6:16Speaker 1: there's one. There's one little sellery stick that is off
- 6:24Speaker 1: to the side. Nobody really wants it, but it's off
- 6:26Speaker 1: the side. It's there. It's an option. So, as mentioned,
- 6:29Speaker 1: if you're a little late to the party, bad job
- 6:32Speaker 1: by you. Your absenteeism. So you got the Rams defensive coordinator, Chrishula,
- 6:36Speaker 1: the Dolphins, Guy Weaver, Jesse Minter with the Chargers, Brian
- 6:39Speaker 1: Flores with the Vikings, and those are guys that live, eat, breathe, sleep,
- 6:45Speaker 1: the whole thing, running and blitzing and all that stuff.
- 6:48Speaker 1: Then there's that lone little piece of celery, the offensive outlier,
- 6:53Speaker 1: someone who is said to be the Rams passing game coordinator,
- 6:57Speaker 1: the great Nate Shieldhouse who sticks out like a Hawaiian
- 7:04Speaker 1: shirt at a funeral. Yeah. And I actually I was
- 7:09Speaker 1: at a funeral several years back and my wife's grandfather
- 7:15Speaker 1: who since passed away, but he showed up in a
- 7:18Speaker 1: Hawaiian shirt. So I have witnessed somebody in a Hawaiian
- 7:21Speaker 1: shirt at a funeral. Yeah, because you get to a
- 7:24Speaker 1: certain point. I don't get man, I'll wear whatever. I
- 7:27Speaker 1: don't care anyway. Now, this guy's not that age he's
- 7:30Speaker 1: thirty five years old. I looked him up. I'll rampant.
- 7:32Speaker 1: I remember who this guy is. Former Illinois quarterback, so
- 7:36Speaker 1: he played in the Big Ten, and he's the wild
- 7:38Speaker 1: card in the deck for Pittsburgh. He's the wild card
- 7:41Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh's deck at this point. Nate Shieldhouse, a young
- 7:45Speaker 1: disciple of Sean McVay who's only been in the NFL
- 7:49Speaker 1: for a couple of seasons. He was coaching at Iowa State,
- 7:53Speaker 1: I believe before he came to the Rams, and already
- 7:57Speaker 1: just a couple of years with Sean McVay, and the
- 7:59Speaker 1: foot Oligarky is blowing up his balloon. He's boy Wonderer,
- 8:05Speaker 1: a prodigy, the whiz kid cometh, all that crap. So
- 8:10Speaker 1: I don't know this guy is. I have no idea.
- 8:12Speaker 1: I know we're not splitting the atom here. We're just
- 8:14Speaker 1: talking about sports. So it's it's just another bright young
- 8:17Speaker 1: offensive mind, allegedly, and the hype train, the steam engine
- 8:22Speaker 1: on the hype trains getting started. Yeah, they're hyping this
- 8:25Speaker 1: guy up. I didn't hear a word about him during
- 8:27Speaker 1: the season. I don't remember his name coming up at
- 8:30Speaker 1: all during the regular season, but mark my words, and
- 8:33Speaker 1: I'm never wrong about this. This guy Shielhouse, the RAMS candidate,
- 8:38Speaker 1: is the name the circle, that's the interesting name. That's
- 8:41Speaker 1: the outlier, all right, that's the interloper, the outside the box.
- 8:45Speaker 1: Higher And when Pittsburgh hired Mike Tomlin, I may or
- 8:49Speaker 1: may not have been in this very chair, behind this
- 8:51Speaker 1: very microphone, and I remember that I hired Tom and
- 8:55Speaker 1: he's not ready to be a coach. What they doing
- 8:57Speaker 1: worked out, okay, it worked out, okay. So, and it's
- 9:00Speaker 1: one of these things when you swing for the fences,
- 9:03Speaker 1: sometimes you get Mike tom Sometimes you end up getting
- 9:08Speaker 1: Sean McVay, and sometimes you end up getting crazy eyes
- 9:10Speaker 1: Adam Gase. That just happens, you know, it just happens.
- 9:13Speaker 1: It could be a genius move or just a fart
- 9:15Speaker 1: in the wind. Who knows, who knows? In the Steelers
- 9:18Speaker 1: recipe has been pretty straightforward, just defensive identity. It's a
- 9:24Speaker 1: cold weather football town and all that the bread basket
- 9:29Speaker 1: of football right there in Pittsburgh and so in Pennsylvania anyway,
- 9:32Speaker 1: and so it's it is tempting to go off the grid, though,
- 9:35Speaker 1: it's tempting do something a little different, all right. Furthermore,
- 9:38Speaker 1: staying with Pittsburgh, though the boss aren't. Rooney the second,
- 9:44Speaker 1: dismissing the idea that my colleague Colin Cowhard and other
- 9:49Speaker 1: gas bags have recommended that the Steelers intentionally suck. It's
- 9:54Speaker 1: a cool thing in sports media to recommend that you
- 9:57Speaker 1: put a bad product out there, because these guys don't
- 9:59Speaker 1: pay for ten gets, so they don't care. So anyway,
- 10:02Speaker 1: Art Rooney was asked about that, and he said that
- 10:07Speaker 1: is I am not going to tolerate a rebuild, and
- 10:12Speaker 1: you're gonna have the fourth head coach. It's nineteen sixty nine,
- 10:16Speaker 1: four coaches. So the standard is is according to Art
- 10:20Speaker 1: Rooney the second, the standard is to try to compete
- 10:23Speaker 1: to win a champion. Do we have this? I think
- 10:25Speaker 1: we might have this? All right? We have this rather
- 10:27Speaker 1: than me just read the quote. Here's Art Rooney the
- 10:29Speaker 1: second commenting about the mindset for the Steelers. Take a listen.
- 10:33Speaker 2: Do you expect it to be a total rebal.
- 10:39Speaker 1: You know, I don't know. I don't know.
- 10:41Speaker 3: It's a rebuild. I mean it's a new coach, so
- 10:43Speaker 3: there will be changes, and you know, we'll have to
- 10:46Speaker 3: all get comfortable with kind of the plan. So you know,
- 10:50Speaker 3: whether you call it a rebuild or not. You know,
- 10:52Speaker 3: I don't like that word that much. You know, we'll
- 10:56Speaker 3: try to compete day one if we can.
- 11:00Speaker 4: All right.
- 11:00Speaker 1: So that was that. But he also said the standard
- 11:02Speaker 1: is to try to compete to win a championship every year.
- 11:04Speaker 1: He said that later on. So this has been polarized.
- 11:10Speaker 1: I can't believe we're at the point now where we're
- 11:12Speaker 1: at the point now where people are upset. The owner
- 11:15Speaker 1: of the team, the president of the team said we're
- 11:17Speaker 1: going to try to win, and we're at the point
- 11:19Speaker 1: now where people are like, oh, my god, I don't
- 11:21Speaker 1: know that I want that. I don't know that I
- 11:22Speaker 1: want to win. Why do you want to win? What
- 11:24Speaker 1: are you doing? You shouldn't try to win, my god.
- 11:28Speaker 1: They want the team to suck, like the biggest kind
- 11:32Speaker 1: of supersize suck you can possibly have. There's a contingent
- 11:37Speaker 1: that wants that, right there's a group of the orthodoxy
- 11:42Speaker 1: that said, we want that. We want to have a
- 11:43Speaker 1: top five draft pick, and that's what we need and
- 11:47Speaker 1: that's the only way we'll ever win again. And that's it,
- 11:50Speaker 1: all right. So the question from your vantage point, all right,
- 11:52Speaker 1: from your vantage point, what do you think of Art
- 11:56Speaker 1: Rooney rejecting the idea that they will rebuild and tank
- 12:01Speaker 1: and all that stuff. So bravo, all right, I'm one
- 12:06Speaker 1: man clapping here. Avoid the rebuild at all costs. Bravo, Bravo, bravo.
- 12:11Speaker 1: The Steelers are not a franchise that does white flags.
- 12:15Speaker 1: They don't do the controlled demo that some of these
- 12:18Speaker 1: other teams do. And of course you do control demo,
- 12:21Speaker 1: and oftentimes you screw that up and you mess up
- 12:24Speaker 1: the whole thing. Just try to compete again. I know
- 12:28Speaker 1: I'm getting older and I was raised that you should
- 12:31Speaker 1: always try to win. And man, you're a boomer. I know,
- 12:35Speaker 1: I'm the old guy. Play to win the game, Try
- 12:38Speaker 1: to win, don't ever suck. I do believe this. Avoid
- 12:41Speaker 1: the cult of the draft and suck. We need a
- 12:45Speaker 1: shiny new toy, that's the way to go. It's the
- 12:49Speaker 1: cult of the tank. And it's a generation of fans
- 12:54Speaker 1: that have been steadily fed a diet of snake oil
- 12:57Speaker 1: over the years, and they're so dumb they don't even realize.
- 13:00Speaker 1: They just keep drinking the snake oil and things like
- 13:04Speaker 1: trust the process. They're traveling weasel salesman. No, No, everything's
- 13:09Speaker 1: gonna be good. Rebuilding. It's just a weasel word to
- 13:14Speaker 1: sell you a bad product. In no other business, no
- 13:19Speaker 1: other business can they get away with it. But sports fans.
- 13:24Speaker 1: Unfortunately a lot of us are morons, and we buy
- 13:26Speaker 1: into it. Imagine if Apple said, listen, we want you
- 13:31Speaker 1: to keep buying iPhones. We're not gonna have a good
- 13:34Speaker 1: iPhone till about twenty thirty two. Okay, we're gonna rebuild
- 13:38Speaker 1: the iPhone. We're gonna keep selling iPhones at full price.
- 13:41Speaker 1: We want you to buy iPhones. Okay, I'll buy I phone,
- 13:44Speaker 1: but they're not gonna be good. Well why are they
- 13:45Speaker 1: not gonna be good? Well, we're doing a rebuild. You know,
- 13:47Speaker 1: we're doing some tech stuff. We get the nerds in
- 13:49Speaker 1: here and all. But I want a good iPhone. Well
- 13:51Speaker 1: you gotta wait till twenty thirty two, but keep buying them. Right.
- 13:54Speaker 1: Imagine you owned a pizza restaurant. Right, You owned a
- 13:57Speaker 1: pizza shop and say, okay, listen, the pizza right now
- 14:01Speaker 1: is not good. There's like maggots on it, there's cockroaches,
- 14:03Speaker 1: there's all kinds of rats and vermin. It's not good,
- 14:06Speaker 1: but we want you to keep buying it because you know,
- 14:07Speaker 1: each year we're going to try new topping on the pizza,
- 14:10Speaker 1: and eventually we'll get the pizza right. Maybe twenty thirty
- 14:13Speaker 1: five will have good pizza. But you love the pizza shop.
- 14:15Speaker 1: You support us, so we want you to keep coming
- 14:17Speaker 1: back and buying the pizza. But the pizza's not good.
- 14:19Speaker 1: I know it's not good, but eventually, if you believe
- 14:22Speaker 1: in the pizza, it'll be good. But his sports, it's
- 14:26Speaker 1: like they get away. It blows my mind that they
- 14:28Speaker 1: get away. It's a suckers game. You're selling hope like
- 14:33Speaker 1: a subscription service that never delivers, and you pray for
- 14:37Speaker 1: your savior, your messiah, and then you end up with
- 14:40Speaker 1: Zach Wilson shooting snot rockets, on the sidelines and holding
- 14:44Speaker 1: a clipboard. Okay, that's what you end up with. Ignore
- 14:47Speaker 1: Tricky Dick. Do not follow the lead of the Jets
- 14:52Speaker 1: or the Browns. The last time those teams were good.
- 14:56Speaker 1: They've been rebuilding since Richard Nixon. Tricky Dick was the
- 15:00Speaker 1: president in that administration. Right, you don't find a franchise
- 15:03Speaker 1: savior by living in the basement, and intentionally not even
- 15:09Speaker 1: the basement. You're like, let me live on Lincoln Road
- 15:11Speaker 1: near weed Man Hippie in Miami. That's what I'm gonna do.
- 15:15Speaker 1: Model yourself after the teams that are good, and the
- 15:17Speaker 1: Steelers have been listening. They make the playoffs, most of them.
- 15:20Speaker 1: The Rams, to me are the great example. The Rams
- 15:22Speaker 1: went for it. They're the model franchise in the NFL
- 15:25Speaker 1: right now. They won the Super Bowl. Every man, woman
- 15:28Speaker 1: and child who had an opinion on the NFL said
- 15:31Speaker 1: they'll never win again. They sold their soul. They made
- 15:34Speaker 1: a Faustian bargain with the football gods. They'll never be
- 15:39Speaker 1: a good team again. They've got all these old players.
- 15:41Speaker 1: They piped too much money. Bye blah blah, blah blah.
- 15:43Speaker 1: So not only did the Rams not have any draft
- 15:45Speaker 1: picks for like almost ten years, first round picks anyway,
- 15:49Speaker 1: because of all the trades they made, they won a
- 15:51Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Then they're defensive stalwart Aaron Donald left and
- 15:57Speaker 1: the Rams are one of the second betting favorite to
- 16:01Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl this year. Okay, so nobody knows anything.
- 16:05Speaker 1: Nobody knows anything, but the Rams know what they're doing.
- 16:08Speaker 1: And tanking is not a strategy. It is a lobotomy.
- 16:12Speaker 1: Who chooses the lobotomy, right, Rooney knows. When you start
- 16:17Speaker 1: acting like a loser, you become a loser, and that
- 16:21Speaker 1: stench never washes off. It just doesn't. Now, speaking of losers,
- 16:28Speaker 1: let's go to Miami. There's a lot of losers in Miami.
- 16:31Speaker 1: That's a loser town for the NFL team there, all right,
- 16:34Speaker 1: that's a loser town. So the Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross,
- 16:38Speaker 1: I bet he's driven down Lincoln Road in Miami. So
- 16:40Speaker 1: Stephen Ross revealed this week on a business interview I
- 16:46Speaker 1: think it was on was it CNBC one of the
- 16:48Speaker 1: business channels. Somebody sent me the clip, so I don't know.
- 16:51Speaker 1: I don't really watch those don't make much money to invest.
- 16:55Speaker 1: So anyway, Stephen Ross revealed that he was offered a
- 16:59Speaker 1: significant in amount of money to sell the Miami Dolphins. However,
- 17:06Speaker 1: he's not doing it. Ross is eighty five years young.
- 17:11Speaker 1: Eighty five years young. He recently said that he was
- 17:12Speaker 1: offered nearly fifteen billion, fifteen billion. He turned it down,
- 17:19Speaker 1: He rejected it, and instead he said that the plan
- 17:23Speaker 1: is to have his son in law, someone named Daniel Silman,
- 17:27Speaker 1: I have no idea that run the franchise. He later
- 17:32Speaker 1: added some clarifications, said that while his son in law
- 17:35Speaker 1: is going to run the franchise, technically his daughters will
- 17:38Speaker 1: actually be the designated successors, even though the son in
- 17:43Speaker 1: law will kind of, according to Stephen Ross, run the franchise.
- 17:48Speaker 1: So question, should dolphin fans be encouraged or discouraged over
- 17:53Speaker 1: Stephen Ross announcing his plans for the future of his
- 17:58Speaker 1: NFL franchise. So, so, not only should you be discouraged,
- 18:02Speaker 1: you should run to the mini bar right now and
- 18:05Speaker 1: grab all the bottles of whiskey and all the little
- 18:08Speaker 1: little bottles of Steven Ross. So I know why he
- 18:11Speaker 1: turned it down right, Yah, Because you're eighty five, He's
- 18:14Speaker 1: already rich. Who cares? If you have fifteen billion dollars,
- 18:19Speaker 1: you're not gonna spend that when you're in the graveyard.
- 18:21Speaker 1: You know, what are you gonna do? You know, I
- 18:24Speaker 1: got fifteen billion dollars buried in my tomb. Whoopedee dam doo.
- 18:29Speaker 1: Doesn't matter, right, you don't need money where you're going,
- 18:31Speaker 1: So who cares? And so instead he's gonna keep the
- 18:34Speaker 1: dolphins as a family heirloom. I guess that's what this is.
- 18:39Speaker 1: And this is when things get really nasty. Very rarely
- 18:43Speaker 1: does this work out right, Al Davis died. Mark Davis
- 18:46Speaker 1: is there eating PF. Chang's all the raiders. He hadn't
- 18:49Speaker 1: know what he's doing, so he hired Tom Brady, who
- 18:51Speaker 1: also doesn't know what he's doing.
- 18:52Speaker 5: Right.
- 18:53Speaker 1: Tom Brady's worse than Mark Davis. And you look at
- 18:56Speaker 1: the second generation and it's just it's almost always not
- 19:02Speaker 1: as good. It's just not. And here's the problem though,
- 19:05Speaker 1: with the Dolphins, it's even worse because this is a
- 19:08Speaker 1: bigger boondoggle in Miami. It's a total Mama Luke move.
- 19:13Speaker 1: I went and I looked it up, and according to
- 19:15Speaker 1: my notes, I wrote down a bullet point here that
- 19:18Speaker 1: you've got Stephen Ross. Since he took over seventeen years
- 19:22Speaker 1: as Dolphins owner the steward of the Dolphins franchise, they
- 19:26Speaker 1: have a four to seventy three winning percentage, zero playoff wins,
- 19:31Speaker 1: zero playoff wins. I believe they have less than five.
- 19:33Speaker 1: I think the number is three ten plus win seasons
- 19:36Speaker 1: in seventeen years. It's a five thousand piece puzzle, jigsaw puzzle,
- 19:41Speaker 1: and that edge piece and then there's a little piece,
- 19:45Speaker 1: it's a corner piece that's also missing, so you got
- 19:49Speaker 1: an edge piece on the right side, and then there's
- 19:50Speaker 1: a corner piece on the upper left side that's missing.
- 19:53Speaker 1: And he's like, well, you know, I'm not good as
- 19:55Speaker 1: an owner, so I'm sure my son in law will
- 19:58Speaker 1: be great. This isn't it's always nepotism. That's always got
- 20:02Speaker 1: to keep it in the family. And so I I
- 20:05Speaker 1: quote the the All State tagline, right, the All State
- 20:09Speaker 1: their tagline is you're You're in good hands. That's their tagline.
- 20:12Speaker 1: The Stephen Ross Dolphin ownership, their slogan might as well
- 20:17Speaker 1: be you're in You're in hands. They're shaky, they're clammy,
- 20:21Speaker 1: they're hands. So the dolphins are in hands again, a
- 20:26Speaker 1: little shaky, little clammy their hands, not good hands, their hands, uh,
- 20:31Speaker 1: Stephen Ross. In many ways, it's like the Mayhem guy,
- 20:34Speaker 1: you know, the mayhem guy in the suit and the
- 20:36Speaker 1: fans are you're the ones driving the end of the ditch.
- 20:39Speaker 1: You're the you're the ones doing the ditch thing. And
- 20:41Speaker 1: so this isn't a secession plan. It is a hostage situation.
- 20:46Speaker 1: If you care about the Dolphins, if you're a die
- 20:48Speaker 1: hard fan, like, just skip all your appointments, stop paying
- 20:52Speaker 1: your bills, lock the doors. You really care that much,
- 20:55Speaker 1: because you probably get help if you care that much.
- 20:57Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, It's not good for you
- 20:59Speaker 1: and the franchise we be the ship be sicking, of course,
- 21:02Speaker 1: already sunk. And there you go from one captain and
- 21:07Speaker 1: then that captain's gonna say, you know what, I'm gonna
- 21:10Speaker 1: give the franchise to the cabin boy. Okay, well we
- 21:13Speaker 1: shouldn't get it, but what could go wrong? What could
- 21:16Speaker 1: go wrong? It is the Ben Mahler Show on a

- 24:14Speaker 1: Hello to the litter getter, the litter getter, Hello, litter
- 24:19Speaker 1: liter getter. Lou, it says here on my board, Hello
- 24:21Speaker 1: litter getter Loo.
- 24:23Speaker 4: Hey, how you doing there? Big mallers?
- 24:29Speaker 1: Okay, lit, what you got.
- 24:32Speaker 4: Rhymes with mobies?
- 24:35Speaker 1: Oh? What's that?
- 24:38Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't want to say that on
- 24:40Speaker 2: the air and the other quick.
- 24:44Speaker 4: I can say that.
- 24:47Speaker 1: I don't know what that was. That was a I
- 24:49Speaker 1: I would never say that. I'm professional, I'm a grown man.
- 24:51Speaker 1: I would never use that kind of language. I don't
- 24:53Speaker 1: know what you're talking about.
- 24:54Speaker 4: Have you ever? Have you ever? I've never seen him
- 24:57Speaker 4: or trust him. But what rhymes?
- 25:02Speaker 1: What's that? What's that?
- 25:03Speaker 4: Lou? In hockey? They used their little black thing is.
- 25:08Speaker 1: I'm like, how come we're not talking hockey.
- 25:10Speaker 4: I'm my Saint Lou's Blues. You know, who's your team
- 25:13Speaker 4: of the Kings? And yeah, hockey?
- 25:17Speaker 1: Yeah that's we need to talk hockey, you know, you know,
- 25:20Speaker 1: we need to talk about the zamboni. How many zambonis
- 25:23Speaker 1: do you think there are in the world. I would
- 25:24Speaker 1: love to know how many zambonis have been made? And
- 25:27Speaker 1: how long does the zamboni last? How many miles can
- 25:30Speaker 1: his zamboni. Get before the zamboni breaks. They never break,
- 25:33Speaker 1: just repair them. They last forever. The zamboni. I don't know.
- 25:37Speaker 4: I think a Zamboni costs twice as much as a Lamborghoni.
- 25:42Speaker 1: Yeah, and why is the zamboni so big? Couldn't they
- 25:44Speaker 1: make a smaller zamboni? Like the TVs used to be massive.
- 25:48Speaker 1: Now the TVs are flat TVs, and they used to
- 25:51Speaker 1: be these giant things like the size of refrigerators. Why
- 25:54Speaker 1: come the zamboni is still so big?
- 25:56Speaker 4: They have to be a toyotas or any chains or
- 25:59Speaker 4: something of them.
- 26:01Speaker 1: Damn BONI, damn bone.
- 26:04Speaker 4: Like the Lamborghini being shron.
- 26:08Speaker 1: Over thirteen thousand zamboni machines worldwide, that's not that many.
- 26:12Speaker 1: The world's kind of a big place. I guess I.
- 26:15Speaker 4: Thought that Dorks the Stars show Dorks because I'm on
- 26:19Speaker 4: vacation here is in Hawaii?
- 26:21Speaker 1: Oh yeah, is there is? There is there a chance
- 26:25Speaker 1: that this is actually Dorko the.
- 26:28Speaker 4: Slim to None. He was dead bar stinging thees.
- 26:33Speaker 1: Yeah karoks, Yeah, all right, Coop, I think this is
- 26:37Speaker 1: I think I think we I think you got had Coop.
- 26:39Speaker 1: I think this is Dorko the comedian I think you
- 26:41Speaker 1: can ask. Oh, come on, you'll admit it. Admitted Dorkoh
- 26:47Speaker 1: you did it? Come on admit it.
- 26:49Speaker 4: I got you, guys, I got.
- 26:51Speaker 1: You Gotti, Gotti, Coop. You got is crazy.
- 26:59Speaker 4: I'm good impersonator and I got several voices. Yeah, but
- 27:03Speaker 4: I filled.
- 27:05Speaker 1: Okay go. Yeah that was painful is the word I
- 27:11Speaker 1: will use. Paid. But I go to Jesse in South
- 27:14Speaker 1: Carolina on a newbie night It's all new callers at
- 27:17Speaker 1: eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. Hello Jesse, Welcome,
- 27:21Speaker 1: Hey Ben.
- 27:22Speaker 5: Big fan of the show Man.
- 27:23Speaker 4: How are you? Thank you?
- 27:24Speaker 1: What part of South Carolina are you living? Sir? Where
- 27:26Speaker 1: you at?
- 27:27Speaker 6: I am near Greenville, South Carolina?
- 27:30Speaker 1: Okay, I drove through most of my My niece lives
- 27:33Speaker 1: in South Carolina, so I drove through a bunch of it.
- 27:35Speaker 1: So yeah, it's cool. I went to BUCkies. I was
- 27:37Speaker 1: in Charleston. I had to drive across over to BUCkies,
- 27:40Speaker 1: so I had to make that big drive. Yeah, that's
- 27:44Speaker 1: pretty cool. I was amazed. Was it Darlington like that?
- 27:47Speaker 1: There's really nothing in Darlington other than this giant racetrack.
- 27:50Speaker 1: I was like, well that's kind of cool. Yeah. Yeah, anyway,
- 27:55Speaker 1: what's going on Jess what you got.
- 27:57Speaker 6: I am a lifelong lion, unfortunately, Michael. I was just
- 28:05Speaker 6: want your thoughts on if we could possibly score Mike
- 28:08Speaker 6: McDaniel as the new OC and if you think that's
- 28:11Speaker 6: a good idea, or if it'll work or get us
- 28:13Speaker 6: there where we need to go or.
- 28:16Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I would hire him as an offensive for it.
- 28:19Speaker 1: I think he'd be better there. Like there's some talk
- 28:21Speaker 1: about him in Philadelphia, which would be a disaster. I
- 28:24Speaker 1: could see him working out. It'd be fun with him
- 28:27Speaker 1: and Dan Campbell side by side there, although it's a
- 28:32Speaker 1: little tough with Jared Goff. Jared Jared, there's a ceiling
- 28:35Speaker 1: on Jared Goff. There's a It's like the NASCAR stuff.
- 28:38Speaker 1: They had the thing to limit the space. It's like
- 28:41Speaker 1: GoF will get you to a certain spot, but everything
- 28:43Speaker 1: else has to be perfect for you to win with golf.
- 28:45Speaker 1: But I can see McDaniel going to Detroit. It seems
- 28:48Speaker 1: like he's more likely to get a coordinator job. And
- 28:51Speaker 1: his name, he's a popular name, which is very odd
- 28:54Speaker 1: to me. He's a very popular name.
- 28:56Speaker 5: So I know we've had a ton of injuries that
- 28:59Speaker 5: have killed but do you think we missed our window.
- 29:02Speaker 5: I think when the Texans and bounces out of the
- 29:04Speaker 5: playoffs a couple of years ago, I think that might
- 29:06Speaker 5: have been our window. But I'm not sure.
- 29:08Speaker 1: Let's say, Jesse, at this point, and this is deep analysis, Jesse,
- 29:11Speaker 1: you will not get to say anywhere else, the Lions
- 29:13Speaker 1: are to fork in the road, all right, So they
- 29:16Speaker 1: this is a massive offseason. If the Lions make the
- 29:18Speaker 1: right moves, they're still obviously contender. They screw this thing
- 29:21Speaker 1: up and they're back. The only time we'll see the
- 29:23Speaker 1: Lions is on National TV will be on Thanksgiving if
- 29:27Speaker 1: they If they screw this thing up, So it's up
- 29:29Speaker 1: to them, and I, like Dan Campbell, I hope it
- 29:31Speaker 1: works out. But this is they're teetering on the brink.
- 29:35Speaker 1: Thank you, Jesse. In South Carolina. It is a newbie
- 29:38Speaker 1: night on the Ben Malors Show. As we continue on,
- 29:41Speaker 1: I mentioned a rumor bouncing around the echo chamber here
- 29:45Speaker 1: that a team reached out to the Pittsburgh Steelers to
- 29:48Speaker 1: try to trade for Mike Tomlin, and that team, the
- 29:53Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins, say what Yeah? So the noise is that
- 29:58Speaker 1: the Dolphins attempted to trade for Tomlin, and the story
- 30:03Speaker 1: is that Tomlin's not interested in coaching this year, which
- 30:07Speaker 1: tells you he doesn't want to coach the Dolphins, because
- 30:09Speaker 1: if you wanted to coach the Dolphins, you just take
- 30:12Speaker 1: the Dolphin job, because the Dolphin job is open right now,
- 30:15Speaker 1: and you'd go and do it and see how it went.
- 30:20Speaker 1: He's not doing it. Not doing it, then you've got
- 30:25Speaker 1: aside from that, you've got Kirk Cousins in a sign
- 30:28Speaker 1: that he's likely a couple steps away from quitting the
- 30:32Speaker 1: NFL or not finding a job. The one hundred and
- 30:36Speaker 1: eighty million dollar Falcon quarterback Kirk Cousins will be boring
- 30:40Speaker 1: you on television as CBS is trying to find some
- 30:44Speaker 1: more boring broadcasters, so Cousins will be on there as
- 30:48Speaker 1: he gets an opportunity for the divisional round of the playoffs,
- 30:52Speaker 1: they bring these guys in to audition them. Wouldn't it
- 30:55Speaker 1: be something if Tomlin pops up on TV this weekend like, hey, boys,
- 30:58Speaker 1: here I am. You know he's tom and all of
- 31:00Speaker 1: a sudden and supposedly he wants to do TV, so
- 31:04Speaker 1: why not get your feet wet? Although you know he's
- 31:08Speaker 1: at the point he didn't have to do that because
- 31:09Speaker 1: they'll hire him without any kind of testing or anything.
- 31:12Speaker 1: Let's hire him because he's Mike Tomlin. They'll give him
- 31:14Speaker 1: an opportunity and say, all right, here we go, Here
- 31:17Speaker 1: we go. Stevie Meatballs from Florida writes in. He says,
- 31:21Speaker 1: thanks for hyping me up about my Dolphins. I already
- 31:25Speaker 1: can't wait for the twenty twenty sixth season to start.
- 31:28Speaker 1: Not get me even more excited, and tell me what
- 31:32Speaker 1: you think is going to turn out with them if
- 31:34Speaker 1: they hire Chris Shula. There you go, it's the most
- 31:39Speaker 1: preferable way for me to blank blank. I don't know
- 31:43Speaker 1: that we want to address that on the air. Steam
- 31:44Speaker 1: Et Balls, I know you're being very sarcastic, very funny.
- 31:47Speaker 1: There you go. And yeah, well, whoever the Dolphins hire
- 31:51Speaker 1: will be the wrong coach, so you don't need to
- 31:52Speaker 1: worry about that. Just settle in on that whoever they
- 31:54Speaker 1: need to hire will be the mistake. Trucker Joe writes in.
- 31:58Speaker 1: He says, it's not miles, it's engine hours you have
- 32:01Speaker 1: to worry about with the Zamboni, says truck Or Joe. Okay,
- 32:07Speaker 1: there's also a unique so I used to cover hockey
- 32:09Speaker 1: back in the day, NHL games, and I would stand
- 32:11Speaker 1: because I liked it was pretty cool. I go down
- 32:13Speaker 1: near the ice when the players were warming up and
- 32:15Speaker 1: check it out, kind of get the vibe the whole
- 32:17Speaker 1: thing there. And they'd bring the zamboni out and there's
- 32:20Speaker 1: like that smell that's amboni smell, which is bad, but
- 32:23Speaker 1: it's not as bad as an NHL locker room, which
- 32:25Speaker 1: was the most disgusting locker room around. The smell of
- 32:29Speaker 1: the goalie equipment that stays with you. It's like a
- 32:31Speaker 1: dead People say they hear they smell a dead body,
- 32:34Speaker 1: and there's like, oh, that's the worst thing in the world.
- 32:35Speaker 1: I would say the zamboni, well, not the worst thing
- 32:37Speaker 1: in the world. Not a great smell, not a great
- 32:40Speaker 1: smell at all. All Right, is the Ben Mallord Show.
- 32:45Speaker 1: As we are working our way through the overnight hours
- 32:48Speaker 1: on this newbye night, let's say hello, let's go to
- 32:53Speaker 1: Saints fan Al, who's next on my board in Saint Louis. Hello,

- 33:08Speaker 1: I appreciate that what's going on.
- 33:10Speaker 4: I don't know. I'm just trying to figureut why nobody
- 33:12Speaker 4: is blested Micking Loomas. I don't heard every GM from
- 33:15Speaker 4: every other thirty one teams in the league and all
- 33:19Speaker 4: kinds of critiquing of what's going on with them. And
- 33:21Speaker 4: it's why Mickey Loomas have a secret book on everybody.
- 33:24Speaker 4: Nobody's mentioned in this guy. He's been driving his team
- 33:26Speaker 4: down in the gutter for a long time and getting
- 33:31Speaker 4: figure of the system out. You know, twice fans don't
- 33:33Speaker 4: really care. He just go to the game and I
- 33:36Speaker 4: don't get it. You know, what is he doing?
- 33:39Speaker 1: Well, he doesn't he have lifetime employment. Hasn't he been
- 33:42Speaker 1: there for twenty five years or something like that. He's
- 33:44Speaker 1: been there forever.
- 33:45Speaker 4: Yeah, but you know, his track record ain't been great.
- 33:50Speaker 1: Well, I see the same chat. How many Well he
- 33:52Speaker 1: did have some good teams with Drew Brees, but other
- 33:54Speaker 1: than that, yeah, they've been pretty not that great for
- 33:56Speaker 1: man these teams.
- 33:57Speaker 4: And you know, I mean Drew Brees was in a
- 33:59Speaker 4: particular a situation with Sean Payton, who put him in
- 34:02Speaker 4: great successful situations. I mean, if you gave him another playbook,
- 34:05Speaker 4: you wouldn't even know his name.
- 34:07Speaker 1: Probably look at you, you're fine hoping, I like.
- 34:11Speaker 4: I like this, I'm looking at you know what I'm saying.
- 34:16Speaker 4: I mean, he was a midget with average all and
- 34:18Speaker 4: Sean Payton was a genius who decided design the system
- 34:22Speaker 4: to make him successful. He to put him in the
- 34:23Speaker 4: Hall of Fame with junk stats, to do throw to
- 34:25Speaker 4: Miga screens the game listen.
- 34:28Speaker 1: I don't know that I'd go that far, but that's
- 34:31Speaker 1: all coaching is though. Right now. You just got to
- 34:33Speaker 1: hide players weaknesses and I don't know.
- 34:35Speaker 4: Mickey gotta go. Man, we not turn on the corner.
- 34:38Speaker 4: I mean, what's the plan?
- 34:40Speaker 1: There is no plan. But you don't believe in Tyler Shuck.
- 34:42Speaker 1: You're not excited about Tyler Shuck?
- 34:44Speaker 4: Yeah? Got really am You know the kids show great
- 34:46Speaker 4: guts and everything here. You know what I'm saying.
- 34:49Speaker 1: You know he Well, there you go. If you I mean,
- 34:51Speaker 1: if you have a quarterback, you're you're more than halfway
- 34:53Speaker 1: there to be in a competitive team. If you got
- 34:55Speaker 1: a quarterback.
- 34:55Speaker 4: Yeah, with the saddler cat situation, I don't know. You
- 34:57Speaker 4: know what I mean, you got to get rid of that.
- 34:59Speaker 1: Dont worry about I'm a salary cap truth rality. You
- 35:01Speaker 1: can finagle the salary cap. You can move numbers around
- 35:04Speaker 1: if you really don't motivate over that.
- 35:05Speaker 4: And that's why people have been giving him profits because
- 35:08Speaker 4: he'd been able to nego the situation. But I'm not
- 35:11Speaker 4: thinking what the plan is.
- 35:12Speaker 1: I mean, you know what the salarycap is. It's gonna
- 35:16Speaker 1: It's like it's like the you know, I've worked in
