3:00And Facebook. Ben Mallor show. So, check all of that out. But here in our number one, quarterback Tua, Tungawa Loa, headed to the ATL. What exactly are the Falcons doing here as they've decided to add to us to their back? Also, why did the dolphins post a highlight video of a guy in Tua who they are going to pay 99 million dollars to not have them play for their football team? Also, what stands out about Malik Willis going to the dolphins. He's going to replace Tua in Miami. We'll get to all of that and more right now. Settle in. Number one. And then, go Gaga. Well, it's a case of Tua on the MOVA. Bye-bye, Miami. Welcome in the beginning of another night of the Ben Mallor show.

4:00We are in the air everywhere. We are. The opening salvo is here as we hop scotch with frogs, coast to coast, border to border and beyond on the vast and universally. Powerful microphones of FSR emanating lives from the ribs as we serve up hearty sports takes that literally stick to your ribs. From the world famous Greenwood, Louisiana. Hey, Lorraine. He wants us to know about Tyra. Listen, Anthony. It's great. And Quinzel and Oakland, Deitron and No Cal. And Mikey Canoe.

5:00Don't you know. They all agree that for over 40 years, Tyra has been helping free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation Tyra.com the way Tyra buying should be. So it was a whirlwind if you love the transaction if you get all horny for the transaction, you needed an ambulance by midday. There was a lot going on. A lot going on. Am I going to sit here and pretend I have no life? But I got some life compared to some of these other Gibronis. I think are all fraudsters. I got into radio. I worked for a guy in San Diego who claimed he knew the answer to every name in like baseball. People would call up with phony phone calls about names

6:00of athletes that they just made up. And this guy would say, free agent pyramid. And I'm like, that guy's a Charlton. That guy's a con man. And all that. But our lead from people we've heard of are lead from the quarterback Mark on the move again. On the move again. The high speed sports wire smoking hot. Smoking hot developing dot dot dot. And the legal tampering period of golfing. Said bye bye to Tua Tonga by Loa. And the worst kept secret around the story had been out for some time. So then a few hours later. Just a few hours later. Tua was swooped up in NFL free agencies. Found a new employer. I assume you know by now. However, there's a chance that you actually have lived your life.

7:00You worked. If you slept, you weren't here. You didn't want to hear what's going on. So the story we learned that Tua Tonga by Loa taking his talents. To the ATL. Dirty birds. You know, the dirty birds there. A one year contract for the minimum. 1.3 million. That's the veteran minimum. And how can he do that? Well, he can do that because those suckers in Miami are paying him money, money, money. And then some. The deal was likely agreed to a long time ago. It was just announced on Monday. So that is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question. You've got quarterback Tua Tonga by Loa. Headed to Atlanta. What exactly are the Falcons doing here? Is this an upgrade? Seriously. So I've got Ivan life. We've got canned spam. And Fisher price. And we will combine all of these things together.

8:01And we are going to pinky swear. This will be the greatest monologue ever broadcast overnight on Fox Sports Radio. On this day. And if it's not, then I'm going to blame Mike Harman, who I just saw walk out of the building. Alright, so hey, the Falcons, the answer to the question. What exactly are the Falcons doing here? It's a box checking exercise. That's my theory. It's a box checking exercise. Or go. Tua checks. Not one, not two, but three boxes. Alright, for Atlanta. He's cheap. He's available. And he's got a pulse. We think he's breathing. So that's it. Boom. Ratatat. There you go. That's the bar. That's the bar for the Atlanta Falcons. There, buyer beware. Numbers are misleading. Stats are misleading. And so this continues.

9:01What apparently is the new franchise charter. In Georgia there. The Atlanta football team there. They've turned now to the island life. The island life. What does that mean? Well, the island of law so's. They go play for the Falcons. Come on. Come on. Come on. Fun for all ages there. Falcon football. Unless you're actually watching them. You can reinvent yourself. Rejuvenate your career. In the peach state. Unless that doesn't happen. But you don't. Tua go down there. Hang out. Get some of that jerk chicken. That because you're not going to enjoy playing quarterback for the Falcons very much. Now, I will tell you on a tablet. If you look at a tablet and imagine. Use your imagination. You can be Benny Brightside. You look at it.

10:01You're like, wow, this looks pretty good. You've got a dome stadium. A division filled with southern teams. So it's not your northeastern coal or upper midwestern cold weather. Playmakers in Drake London. Bajon Robinson. Kyle Pits up the wazoo for Tua. So you got that. That's the kind of lineup. That on a tablet looks pretty pretty good. That looks gorgeous. The sales pitch. Listen, this is the way to do it. These guys are all young and hungry. And the prime of their careers are not even in the prime of their careers. Some of these guys. Now the reality is the scouting report on Tua. Says keep your distance. Keep your distance here. It's one of those moves. That looks better than it is. From the hallway outside the theater. Outside the theater. That's pretty good. Outside the stadium.

11:01That's not bad. That's not a bad move. However, when you sit down. At your seat and watch it. You realize it's a low budget student film. This year is this. Atlanta now has two lefties at quarterback. They're going all left handed there. Tua and Michael Penex Jr. Who for some reason the Falcons drafted in the first round. Because there are a bunch of country bumpkins. And that worked out really well. That was great. They should have drafted Tommy in Atlanta. Our caller and listener in Atlanta. Tommy would have been better off there. Apparently the Falcons are running the South Paul offense. Which explains a lot. Now keeping the theme going here. But turning the page on the Miami side of things. So the dolphins were so desperate. So desperate to get rid of Tua. How desperate were they? Thanks for asking. They were so desperate. That they're going to take the greatest salary cap.

12:01Ding. In the history of the salary cap. 99.2 million. I understand how much one must suck and blow. To have a team say rather than keep you. We would rather take a hit of 99.2 million dollars. Now we are told that will be spread like chunky peanut butter. Over a couple years. So starting this year. 67.4 million in the following year. 31.8 million of dead charges. And then the dolphins will have to deal with that. And oh, they are. Oh, they are. So Miami hosted a one-minute sizzle reel. As Tua was fired from his job. I guess laid off. You get 99 million. You're not really fired. So the dolphins sent out this sizzle reel. I mean, saw it or not.

13:02It happened when I was sleeping. I saw it when I woke up. I did the Miami dolphins a multi-billion dollar football team. Post a highlight video. Of a guy into a tongue of I lower. Who they are going to pay 99 million. To not have on the roster. So what are you doing? Now this made me want to vomit. Not the vomit comment. I just wanted to vomit. It's not just dysfunction. With the dolphin. I mean, they got that going for him too. The D in dolphins also works for dysfunction. But it's a sub basement level of loser dumb. So you go to the basement. And then you go below the basement. And that's loser dumb. There's a portal right under there. And you go in there. And that's the part. You're posting a thank you video. For Tua tongue of I lower. Like he's Dan Marino. They didn't do that for Dan Marino. Because he was it. There was a social media. When Dan Marino retired and all that.

14:02The guy Tua just essentially pick pocketed. The franchise. And you left with a 99 million dollar charge. He dined and ditched. And you of course escorted him out of the building. The biggest heist in NFL history. And the social media mods for the Miami dolphins are out there. And they're treating Tua like he's some kind of war hero. What are you doing? Just quietly let him go. That's it. Say, hey, we have to up. And we'll move on. That's it. And Tua turned out to be a fake a phony and a fraud. And some people I won't say who that may or may not host an overnight show tried to warn the Miami dolphins. Did they listen? Hell no. They didn't listen. No, they did not. So Tua not only commits the perfect crime. Because he got all that money without a gun. Without a knife.

15:02Without a hand grenade. Just the duke. The duke. And that's it. So the dolphins have already paid to a by my malware math. 124 million. To check the turf. See what's going on there for structural integrity. He throws the ball into the ground. And or better into the ear hole of a receiver that wasn't looking for the ball. And now you're eating that 99 million dollar cap hit there just to get him out of the building. That's an FBI situation is what that is here. This isn't the salary cap hit. That's a ransom payment is what that is. And Tua's got another 100 some million dollars that he's going to be getting by the time this is all done. So he's got much more money. And for that you got one playoff appearance and no playoff wins with Tua. He was also hurt quite a bit that turned out to be his superpower.

16:02And he's shown to be Tua based on his relatively long NFL career. A front runner who collapses the very moment, the very split second. The temperature drops below 50 degrees. He literally turns into a popsicle. He turns into a popsicle. He's essentially just can spam under center, if you will, that cost a quarter of a billion dollars. That's some very expensive can spam. That's what it is. And so that's what the dolphins did. They should have just posted a video of him leaving Miami and said, okay, happy days are here again. That's the the only highlight that the dolphins should have posted to a left and just erase everything else. All right. Now last word. So to the replacement we go, we already have his replacement. The new head coach, Jeff Haively, has a deal with former Titans and Packers quarterback Malik Willis.

17:04Now the overnight rumor was Willis was going to the Cardinals at dolphins supposedly stepped in and offered him a little bit more money. Tossed in the Florida taxes and saving some more money on top of that. So Malik Willis going to Miami. The question what stands out? What stands out about Malik Willis of all people who's now the QB1 for the Miami dolphins. So this is great. And the reason I wanted to talk about is not that in Malik Willis. I think he'll be okay. I want to see if he can blossom. However, however, this moment. This little Polaroid captures the absurdity of the business of football, the economy of the NFL. And this is the bully pulpit where I have been screaming down from the bully pulpit about the salary cap is crap and all that stuff and going on and on and on. So this should end all the bait. This should be the moment that it's all the bait about those that preach at the altar of the salary cap.

18:08So Miami is paying a $99 million dead cap hit for two or two to go away. Okay, fine. We've established that. Get out of here, go away. So that's not a buyout. It's not a buyout. It's a yacht and a helipad. And there's still a whole bunch of guaranteed money and all that. So and somehow with that amount of money tied up, they were still able to sign another quarterback. Like you think the dolphins would have to play with 10 players on the field. They wouldn't have to full 11 on offense or defense. They'd have 10 on offense, 10 on defense, maybe only nine on special teams. But no, they still found a way to get Malik. Well, now why is that? Because the cap is crap. Say it with me now, kids. Cap is crap. Cap is crap. That's right. It's all part of the Fisher price cash register that is the NFL salary cap. They even come with six, six little toy coins, blue, yellow, green, all those coasts.

19:08And the salary cap, it's like the points on whose line is it anyway. None of it matters. None of it matters. Right. And also Malik Willis. This is also a great thing about life and sports. I don't know if this works anywhere else. He became more valuable. Malik Willis, by doing less, by not working that much, his value skyrocketed. To the moon, to the moon. The last two years, he has started three, eight more games than I have, and you have three. That's it. The last two years, he's attempted, not complete, attempted 89 passes, Malik Willis. He's barely played. And yeah, did he show a flicker here and there for Green Bay? Sure. Surrounded by competent grownups, he looked like he had some kind of a clue. And now, now he goes to the daycare center in Miami. And yet, he's a blue chip stock waiting to happen.

20:11Okay, well, I hope he does well, but it certainly seems like quite the overpay. Meanwhile, you look at what the dolphins plan is, and we were discussing the jets the other day, tanking for archmaning with the Miami dolphins. At this point, can we do a wellness check on Stevie Meepalls and some of our great dolphin fans that are part of the show? Because it looks like an exclusion zone, you know, that 18 mile area around Chernobyl. That's the dolphins, right? And here, Malik, there's a lot of nuclear stuff going on. We want you to blossom. We want you to blossom right there. So the radiation soaked environment, that's the dolphins. Good luck. It is the Ben Mallor Show.

Some fall out from some of the moves that have taken place here. Let's be some other names that are going to pop up on the transaction wires. We go through the week here. Never heard of them. The dominoes are falling and we love the dominoes falling as the New Orleans football team. Another one of those teams that just kind of exist. So other teams have have someone to play. New Orleans decided to sign a veteran running back which didn't seem like that was a need. Travis ETN gets a four year deal on Monday.

27:17So he is taking his talents to the Bayou leaving Jacksonville. So he's gone. And now the question is does that mean the trickle down effect will be Alvin Camara. The guy that you do not want to run into at a Vegas casino because you'll kick your ass. Alvin Camara could be yours. And so there are questions whether or not he's going to be traded. And will that happen the next couple of days here. It's Alvin Camara watch. Oh my god. So exciting. So exciting. I know try to try to stay calm. Try to stay calm. Doc Dan writes in from the Twin Cities. He's worried about he's worried about injuries. The Vikings have a quarterback who enters into concussion protocol. If a leaf falls off a tree on him. And when he's healthy, he makes people long for Christian ponder. Why would you even ponder passing?

28:19Tula is no Richard Todd. You're dating yourself. Doc Dan, he's no Richard Todd when it comes to talent. But at least he has some. Yeah, at least he has some. There you go. Shane and Des Moines says the pennies are more exciting than the world baseball classic. The Mallor talent show is better than the world. But no, it's not the talent show Shane. It's the Mallor Paloza. It's the Mallor Paloza. That's what that is. Very excited. Yeah, becoming Mallor Paloza this summer. Yeah. All right. Femi in Minnesota right since as I cannot wait for your monologue on the 11th. It's going to be history hearing your take on the Viking signing Kyler Murray. Don't even know what to think anymore. I guess beggars can't be choosers. Analog Al says didn't Tula once say that he couldn't see over his offensive line or the guys on the Falcon shorter. Yeah, they're going to sign a bunch of offensive linemen that look like Kyler Murray's

29:20with their planning on doing there to help him out. And who else do we have to see King Rory from Wisconsin says the Miami Dolphins scooping up Jeff Hathley and Malik Willis. Their game against the Packers this coming season is guaranteed in prime time. It's a prime time slot if not a streaming exclusive. I'm sure it will be an old slumber knocker. I don't know about that King Rory. Look at the dolphins. That's a bad team and bad F and team. That's a bad football team. Ferg dog rights. And he says are you taking the over or under on how many callers wait on hold just to say they hate the show but listen to every night. I'm setting the line. You have a gambling problem at half of one caller. I think that guy Chris sobered up or whatever his name was. And he's he's out. So we're good on that. Listen, anybody hates the show call out. Tell me why you hate the show. I want only people that hate the show to call right now 877 99 on Fox everybody

30:25Wayne in Duluth writes and he says Atlanta made a stupid move. Just like they did with Kirk cousins. Two is not worth the lint in my pocket. Hmm. I wonder how much lint is in your pocket. Let's go to the phones and we'll start it out. Here's a guy hasn't called in a while. I think he just got out of the poke poke poke. We say hello to Andrew who's in Baker's field. Hello Andrew. Welcome. Bennett, Bennett, Bennett, Bennett. Hey, um, Lorina, you got to play. I like it when you do that right there. Oh, I like that song. Andrew, you haven't called up in a while, Andrew. There's no need to ask for songs. Well, this is not kiss FM. What's wrong with you? And my recommendation is anything by the large professor. Other ones by chingy, right? Is it true? Is it true, Andrew, that this call is being made to try to get your name nominated for the worst caller of the year? Is that true?

31:25Well, I'm not going to aim for that now. Sorry. Because you can't reach that level as the worst call of the year. There's a lot of epepe. I think emails from people concerned. They're not going to be nominated. They're worried about the Benny. No, we're going to announce the nominations. Probably tomorrow. We'll have the nominations and all that. And so you'll be able to vote the rest of the week through Sunday. All right. So. Now, I think it's a good thing that you're advertising the mallet Paloosa in advance. Because then you'll get more people. Possibly. Well, it's true. However, people do usually do things at the last minute. It's not like someone sitting there in March planning an event that's going to take place in July. Well, I've been thinking of the song. I'm listening for ever since a couple of months after the last one. But it's a very evil laugh that you have. Two of. Okay. By the way, this just didn't have you. Have you finished massaging Kershaw? Are you done with your massage of Kershaw?

32:26Is that over with now? Are you still massaging him? No, he rocks. He's good. What? What do you want? On a Wednesday night against the Rockies. He's great. On a October night against anybody. He sucks. But that's fine. You know. Wait. What happened on the Wednesday recently? Wait. Never mind. Never mind. You didn't. You didn't see it. So do I. All right. Well. It's a blind joke. Two of. Two of. I think it's a glaring deficiency. What? You don't want to hear this? A glaring deficiency. When he's affected so horribly by weather. I'm serious. You should have moved to Greenland in the summer. Greenland, see. And gotten used to the temperature because your body will acclimate. So you're. So you've called up a radio program. You stayed on hold to say that two of you should move to Greenland. In the summer. Yeah. For the summer. Or Antarctica. That would work too.

33:26What are we smoking tonight? Well. Don't you. You asked. But. Yeah. It's probably green. Three. Yeah. Okay. Thank you. All right. I'll talk to you in four months. Sorry. Go away. There's an in-room. Great music. Suggestions. Don't encourage him. Truck stop. Fungus. Right. Since it says I won't gamble on old mush head to us. He has so many concussions. You can smell the CTE. Wow. That's not. That's not. Not nice at all. I dare you. Come here. All right. What else do we have? Let's see here. Michael says I love the fifth hour podcast about the damn time chain. Keep it the same. He says my girlfriend keeps trying to tell me she's affected by it. So I told her to go to bed. Can you ask Blind Scott if he's affected by the time chain? I'm sure he'll call in later. I don't know that I'm going to remember that. If I remember it, I'll bring it up. I'll bring it up later.

34:26I kind of liked it this morning because I got home and it was still dark out. So it made it easier to go to bed. So they did this for you? Maybe. Change the time for you. Yeah. If they want to keep it at this type of hour, I would prefer this. Okay. I'm fine with just pick one. Just pick one. I don't care. Just pick one. Just pick one. Stay with it. Don't need to change it. We're good. Like changing my clocks. I don't want to change my clocks. I don't do it anymore. Well, you don't have to change your clocks most. Everything's electronic. But I'm saying the ones that aren't electronic. I don't even bother to change. The one that's in my car. I didn't change it last time. But now it's the same time again. I love how that works. Interesting. Yeah. Well, it's too hard. Make it easier. That's the way of the world these days, right? Kids, well, in Pro Bouncy Ball, Steve Kerr. That's a basketball coach for the Golden State Warriors. And he went on a recent rant. And he's continuing. This is not new, per se, but he did it again just a few hours back.

35:26And he's campaigning for the NBA to have a shorter schedule. Says it would provide a more competitive league. Said the woke coach or the Golden State Warriors there, Steve Kerr. He says, I know this won't be a popular opinion in the league office, but I will continue to say it because it's obvious we need to play fewer games. We need to take 10 games off the schedule. Chris already figured out to tens the magic number. I think it would be great for the league. It says, I get it revenue. And everyone's going to be able to take less money. And that's a really hard thing to do. But what I know about the league about coaching, about how hard it is to play the modern game. The pace in the space. I think it would be a more competitive, healthier league if we played fewer games. Steve Kerr could not be more wrong. We have the greatest travel. We have the greatest medicine. We have all of the greatest things today that are much better than it was 30, 40 years ago. And these guys are such voices. My God.

36:26And it's so embarrassing that Steve Kerr continues to do this. And if you play 72 games, which is what Kerr wants. 72 games in order for that to work as Kerr reference, there would have to be pay cuts by every single player in the NBA. We'd have to take a haircut. You think they're going to sign off on that? Yeah. And oh, by the way, if you play 72 games, 10 years from now, too many games. Too many games. Players can't play 72 games. Games too physical. Look back 2036. Guys will say, two physical. Got to play less. But we just went to 70. Well, I think 62 would be the great number. And no matter how many games you take away, mark my words. And I'm never wrong about this stuff. The NBA players will still take the easy road and take games off. For load management. They will. That's ingrained in this generation. That's what they believe in. They love it. They can't get enough of it. Let's go back to the phones. E-dog is on Long Island.

37:26Hello, E-dog. Welcome. Arth. Arth. Arth. Hello. No, you want to get on the air? Yeah. How you doing, Ben? So this is guy named Lucky Tony. And you know who that is? Now, is he lucky? Yeah, so he called up the other day. And for some reason, he likes you. Really? Actually, not honestly. I haven't asked him if he sexually attracted to you. I don't know that he is. I can't speak. Well, we have a nice compliment. That would be very nice if Lucky Tony was attracted to you. He said sexually or what? What else would he say about me? Well, he wanted to give you a gift. What kind? Sudukka's charity? Well, he wanted to give you a golden ticket. What are you even going to get from there? A big fan of the show. Yeah, I know. I've got to call the ticket. I've got to call the ticket. I've got to call the ticket. Well, we don't pay E-dog enough to actually listen to the show.

38:28He just calls the show. He'll get down with us. You'll call whoever's doing overnight at the WFA and you'll get a call from you, right? How many calls you make a night? Two or three. Two or three. So our show, WFA and who else do you call? I read and Melissa. Melissa. Shouldn't they be sleeping? Yeah, but they can't win my calls. But you they could. Anyway, about the next, I really can't stand them. They're getting very mad at them. So I'm going to get out the scanning report so other teams could beat them. It's a great idea. You remember when the late Malik Seeley was playing for the Indiana Pacers. He saw the playbook. Yeah, he left. No, he left it. No, no, no, no. That's a great story, dog. Actually, it was buddies with Malik Seeley to play with the Clippers. But he was on the Indiana Pacers. He left his, this is back before tablets, obviously, in the 90s. He left his playbook at LaGuardia and somebody gave it.

39:29Somebody, remember, somebody gave it to Don Eimus and Eimus read the playbook. Then it was like in the New York Post the next day. And if I'm not mistaken, I did Indiana win that series. I don't, I don't think it really mattered. I'm a fan of the way, but he was a good dog show host. Well, everyone passes away eventually. I thought the nicks look great, by the way, as the, the Clippers beat them. And here we go. Here we go. What? Where are the titles out of pass. Once in a while, goes to the hole for an easy dunk. Hit the 3.1, hit the while. Bruton is this the clutch? We got a double team home. Abinoge is a good player from the corner. Bridges are a good, fair way jump chain. He took, and what's his name? Bridges get from the way it away. And that's about it. That's it. That's all right there. That's your New York Nick Scouting report from the great E-dog. dog. So, Tremetti, will you be, will you be joining the next coaching staff next

40:32year? What's this guy who likes me, Tony? Lucky Tony. Yeah. You want me to sit you up with him? No. I'm straight. I'm sorry. No, I don't mean like that. I mean, it's friends. We have your luck with setting people up on the show, you know? I don't know about that. But you could be, you could be like buddies, you know, best friends, besties, you know? Yeah. Put them up. Like Melissa says, I'm besties with Melissa. Yeah. He could be like your male Melissa. You know, Plutonic relationship like, like he told me, he's a very masculine man. I don't know that he's into you. I have a lens. I have a lens of the, uh, the bus driver. I love that you were your references, Lance, the bus driver, because when you started calling, he was a star caller, Lance is a retired caller now. He still checks. Well, he calls in. When I was in the radio business, I'm not saying anything. Yeah. Um, what they call me was, uh, I was in the call of fam. The call of fam, yes, I'm sure it was Kate Delaney in that, I need to say Kate Delaney from New York. Now it says, one time, uh, when I played in high school basketball, the coach had played

41:35me last year. So I have a lot of, uh, how come if I keep you on the air long enough, you bring up your high school basketball every time? Well, I was there. So what happened was, uh, he was setting up a plane with 10 seconds left to go in regulation. I got to go, can I go, I got to go, thank you, bye, all right, go away, there's that e-dog. Thank you. Didn't seem like he was too excited about Lucky Tony. It's very odd that he would have that reaction. Lucky Tony seems like a nice guy to me. I don't want to get on this bad side. He seemed interested and curious, you know, flattering. It is the Ben Mallor Show as who worked our way through who the overnight hours. It's your time now for the who am I game?
