Speaker 3 (00:37):
Welcome in the beginning of another night of the Benmahler Show.
We are in the air everywhere audio Buddies.

Tiraq dot com the way tire buying shoult be so
aarle this hour. Play the hits, my man, play this
I We're gonna play this. Our lead coming out of
the Bay area. The bay are by the way. Fun
fact bonus five. The door left open to the studio.
So should I get should I wake up? Should I
(01:59):
walk up and closed the door? Should I do it?
All right, I'm gonna walk o. I'm gonna close the door.
Jason Smith and Mike Carmon walked out. They did not
close the door. I can hear talking. I'm gonna born
in a barn.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
They must have been must I'm.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Closing the door. All right, I've now closed the door.
I'm not walking back over. It's live library. There's a
lot of talking in the hallways here, a lot of
gossiping in the hallways. All right, listen. But it's all
about the hits and the football discussion. The football discussion.
(02:32):
So everyone's favorite disgruntled NFL player making some news here.
If you didn't see it, if you have not heard
the list, maybe not. We've learned now that the Petsburg
Steelers the Pittsburgh Steelers have emerged as the overwhelming favorite
to acquire the top available pass catcher. They have the
(02:54):
building blocks done in a potential trad This is not
any new revelation and that part of the story. We
had heard. The framework was done for a trade with
the forty nine Ers, and they've already talked about a
Brandon IOK contract extension. However, there is a monkey wrench
in the plans here. San Francisco has an offer out
to Brandon Aouk and a long term deal for him
(03:17):
to stay by the Bay. He has not accepted that.
We're hearing whispers that the forty nine Ers think they
can get that done. That's not a guarantee, but they
think they can get a deal done. They're not that
far from getting his John Hancock or his DOCU sign
(03:37):
and getting the deal done. They have not yet pulled
the trigger on a trade with the Steelers as a
result of that. So let us discuss the question here
for the esteemed panel, what do you make of these
latest revelations, these latest developments in the epic Brandon Aok
(04:00):
drama by the Bay. So I've got a Laddin's Cave
Netflix and Peter principle, and we will combine all of
these things together, and we are going to make a
motorcycle which you can drive. I've never driven a motorcycle.
But the fact that you're able in the state i'man
(04:20):
You're able to cut in between lanes. It seems like
you get where you need to go much quicker. You
also might get killed, but you know it's a risk,
all right. So a let's start with this. Brandon Iyak
right now in the cartoon bubble above my head is
playing a classic game show, Let's Make a Deal. He's
playing Let's make a Deal. The ball is in his court.
(04:42):
Everyone to say, the compass the money compass. You can
go east, you can stay west, you can go north
or south, any of those directions. It doesn't matter. Does
he take though, what's behind door number one, door number two,
or door number three? How exciting and nerve wracking at
(05:03):
the same time, because you got to relocate ultimately, though,
no matter which direction he leads down the path from
the compass, whatever direction he goes, randon I OK. There.
This is in Aladdin's cave situation, meaning that he is
in a place now where he's going to get a
(05:23):
bunch of treasures from the magic Lamp the Aladdin's Cave, right,
and he can stay with the Niners. The difficulty there
is you're the third of the fourth option if you
stay with the Niners outside of injuries, if the team
stays relatively healthy. Christian McCaffrey is option one, and really
one A and one B for the Niners. And then
(05:44):
after that it's a toss up between Deebo Samuel who
kills my rams, and then mister Kittle at tight end.
So that's what you got. And then number three or four,
depending how you rotated, is Brandon and I. So if
you take toward number one, you leave the forty nine
ers and you wrap yourself with a terrible town. Now
(06:07):
my advice is head to Pennsylvania. That is my advice
here for a couple of reasons. You get to dine
on Perogi's, You get that, You get the Pittsburgh salad,
now next to the Canadian salad. I do enjoy the
Pittsburgh salad. I am more prone to the Canadian salad.
(06:29):
I like that better, but the Pittsburgh salad pretty good.
And you get that to it iron City beer or
something like that, you're ready to go right now. I
do like the Pittsburgh sala. If you've never had a
Pittsburgh salad, that's where they give you like the veggies,
but they toss on top grilled meat, shredded cheese and fries.
They put the fries on top there. Now, in yinzer Land,
(06:49):
the land of the Yinzer, the player Brandon Ayuk would
be playing with a blank spot at quarterback, so he
would not be in an advantageous situation at quarterback. However,
you would get the vast majority of targets. You're clearly
the top receiver. You'd get the money. And the advice
(07:10):
is to go to Mike Tomlins Pittsburgh Steelers. Here, elevate
one of those dogs with fleas at quarterback and make
them better. And also from a financial standpoint, if the
money's the same, you're gonna get a twenty percent bump
by not playing in California. So why even I know
(07:31):
those taxes in Pennsylvania, taxes everywhere, but cost of living
between Pittsburgh and northern California, money goes twenty percent over
twenty percent. Further, the cost of living is like twenty
percent lower in Pittsburgh than it is in northern California.
But that's extra fundy money, So you're gonna make a
(07:53):
lot of money. Is when you know, I've been told
by some of these these yahoos over the years that
it doesn't matter. I mean, make a certain amount of money,
doesn't matter. You don't worry about it. How much gas
is or how much a gallon of milk. You don't
worry about that because you can afford it. So who
cares you're paying a little more, but no matter to you.
You don't know. But all things being equal, why not?
Now we turned the page here. Sportico came out with
(08:15):
their financial evaluations for the NFL, and if you saw this,
but they said that the Dallas Cowboys, how about Cowboys?
The Dallas Cowboys are now worth ten point three billion.
So the question is, how are the Dallas Cowboys worth
ten point three billion? We know they are the most
(08:37):
talked about team, that's part of it. But the real
reason all of these franchise values have gone up, they
can think Netflix. Every NFL team, baseball team, basketball team,
every member of the industrial complex can thank the Netflix effect.
That television has shifted to on demand. We all watch
(08:59):
it on demand. Most shows are done on demand, which
means it's even harder to get people to consume the
most important part of television or radio the advertising, right,
so engagement of the customers. It's kind of obvious here,
you knew that, and so live television. They have live television,
get people to watch it very difficult. The NFL and
(09:19):
the other sports leagues that have an audience. But the
NFL's got the biggest audience. The last of the Mohegans.
I must see TV in the live format and that's it.
The Cowboys for as much crap as Jerry Jones gets
as a pure businessman in marketing, one of the great
showmen of our time. No one is better than Jerry
(09:41):
Jones in the modern world of football, in professional sport marketing.
The greatest show on earth the Dallas Cowboys, and in Texas,
Jerry will tell you it's faith, it's family, and it's
how about them Cowboys? Yeah, just like that, not necessarily
in that order, but this is a teachable moment. The
(10:01):
Cowboys are what we call old money. They have not
won his former Fox Sports radio host Jim Mora would say,
they have not won Diddley Pooh in a generation. Yet
they continue to be at the pole position in the
money race. A right last word here we go to
the high speed transaction wire where he's back. Who is he?
(10:26):
Explain your pronouns? So Nathan Peterman. Nathan Peterman has returned
to the NFL training camp roster was released by the
Saints not that long ago, and he has lashed on
with one of his former teams, the Raiders. Now the
Raiders are deciding between my guy Gardner, Minshew and O'Connell
(10:49):
at quarterback, but they have added Nathan Peterman. So can
you explain how this continues to happen? Nathan Peterman keeps
getting jobs in the NFL. So he is the living
embodiment of a term that doesn't get used all that
much anymore, but is a great term, the Peter principle.
Just google it. It's appropriate for his name Peterman, because
(11:14):
we should change the Peter principle to the Peterman principle.
Nathan Peterman. If you don't know what the Peter principle is,
by the way, you can look it up. But I'll
tell you. It's a case where you're promoted at a
company and you reach your highest level of incompetence and
you remain there for example, look at yours truly or
listen to yours truly. Started out as a young upstart
(11:37):
talk show host, and I have landed at my highest
level of incompetence overnight radio, and here we are still here.
But for Peterman, he's the savvy, veteran captain clipboard and
the epitome of a backups backup Nathan Peterman whose claim
(11:57):
to fame is a historically bad performance for Buffalo against
the Chargers. But Nathan Peterman, he's a camp arm will
he be a third quarterback practice squad guy. He shows
up on time, he works hard. The coaches say, right,
you can make all the throws. He's got a big body,
good locker room guy, positive energy, passion, coachable, has all
(12:20):
those intangibles. Of course, you have to have a blind spot.
You gotta be like Inka tear blind, Emmet, blind Scott,
many of the great blind Elizabeth, the most famous blind
callers on this show. But you have to overlook the
fact that Nathan Peterman sucks when he actually played. You
have to overlook that how bad has Nathan Peterman been?
(12:41):
I'm glad you asked he enters. Now what is his
seventh season? Not that He's likely to make the Raiders,
but his seventh NFL season. Nathan Peterman Peter Principal, The
Peterman Principle. He has four career touchdown passes and thirteen
interceptions in what is going to be the start of
his seventh year in the NFL, but he keeps getting
(13:02):
gigs fascinating.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
The Wisdom of the signal caller. Welcome in the beginning
of another hour of the Ben Malor Show. We are
in the air everywhere ear plug playfellows, as we have
those extra cheesy takes all night long, coast to coast,
(14:15):
border the border and beyond. On the mast and uncharacteristically
powerful microphones of fs are ammating live from the eye
the bullseye of the audio world. We're broadcasting live from
the tyrack dot Com studio. Tyract dot com will help
you get there in unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free
(14:39):
road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended in stararstirat
dot com the way tire mind should be a no
cowboy killer and Anthony in Anaheim big fans of the
number ten thousand. But our lead this hour from the hood,
the neighborhood, mister Rogers neighborhood, the exact Aaron Rogers, yet
(15:03):
again filling up the content machine. Now, I'm not going
to do a rant about Rogers. Is what he said
the other day in an unauthorized autobiography where he said
he regretted so he was immune. He used the immunity
line there during COVID, remember that line, and he regretted it,
but he said it was because like marketing reasons. But
I don't care about that. The non conformist quarterback Aaron Rodgers,
(15:29):
he has chimed in on the value of exhibition football,
so he didn't hear what he said. The Jets quarterback
Aaron Rodgers pointed out when asked about practice games and
all this stuff, and he said he's not missing any
real football staying on the sidelines to begin the exhibition season.
(15:52):
But rather than me give you the verbatim quote, let's
go to the audio tape. Here's Aaron Rodgers on this
whole preseason thing.
Speaker 7 (16:00):
Preseason is not what it used to be. Is to
see if young guys, once the lights go on and
the pads go on the tackling happens, if they can,
if they can show up, or if they don't. So
what's there a gain, you know, just going out there
and being back on the field in a situation where
you could get hit. Preseason is it's.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Not real football, Fike, it's fake. He went on to
talk about how the teams don't show anything and they
show more stuff in practice and all that stuff. So
that last part that preseason is not real football. That's
what we call the money quote. So let us discuss
the question Aaron Rodgers. As you heard, they're saying that
the NFL preseason is not real football and it doesn't
(16:40):
matter whether he plays or not. Your thoughts on that.
So I've got bout a bing sci fi and food chain.
Combind all these things together, and we are going to
make a migraine headache. If you hear Rico call the
show called Last Star Rico from Denver, you'll get a
migraine headache. So bur yes, all right, Aaron Rodgers, you
(17:07):
say what you want? Is this that and the other thing?
Firebrand vice presidential? I never got that, but his name
was mentioned. His name was mentioned. But this is one issue.
And there's people that love Aaron Rodgers. There's people that
despise Aaron Rodgers. Thus he is a polarizing figure. But
(17:27):
this topic of conversation for Rogers talking about preseason football,
this is what's known in politics as a bipartisan issue
that both sides of the aisle can agree. We're in
lockstep with Aaron Rodgers. We are. Exhibition football is a
waste of your time. It is a waste of my time.
(17:48):
It is a waste of everyone's time, the most valuable
resource we all have as human beings, and it's being
wasted on this exhibition football, right. It just is so
in this particular take, Rogers crafted a masterpiece. He did.
He did saying the quiet part out loud. Every man,
woman and child knows this to be the gospel when
(18:09):
it comes to practice football, just the way it is.
And this is one of those tamboos in the NFL
that they don't like to talk about. I remember years
ago when I interviewed Dennis Green. I was coaching the
Vikings at the time, and he's more known and more
famous for a rant when he was coaching the Cardinals,
(18:31):
and you know, they are who we thought they were.
But Dennis Green, cool guy, was like a into jazz
a lot, and I interviewed him, was like, oh, it
was like preseason. And so I was like, I said,
my exhibitions and Dennis Green like he got all offended
and he's like, well, you know, it's Bennett's a preseason.
We don't call that exhibition season. Give me his whole ring.
And that's continued, you know, so talking points memo from
(18:54):
the NFL. They've done this over the years, but it's
it's one of these is I going to the neighborhood
up exhibition football is like going to the neighborhood pub.
We'll call it the in honor of the Sopranos, the
bottle being. You go down there to have a drink
and you find out that all of the alcohol is
watered down, water down alcohol, and it's like zero percent alcohol.
(19:15):
And this is a water down, not just water down beer,
zero percent. And it's one of these things like back
in the Bronze age before, when the NFL was a
mom and pop operation, you actually had a chance to
make a roster. You could impress somebody and you could
play yourself off a roster. And back when the meton
(19:35):
were met and they had hair on their chest and
all that stuff, and they had have real jobs, had
have construction jobs or sell cars in the off season,
those days are gone. Like trying to find cheap Big Max,
you know, just gone. And there are fifty five players,
fifty five players on an NFL team's roster. There are
fifty three on the active roster. There are forty eight
(19:55):
players that dress on a Sunday or Thursday or a
Monday in the NFL. So with that NFL teams. By
the time they show up the camp, they know ninety
eight percent of those jobs are filled. A couple of
spots on the backside the practice squad that are available,
(20:16):
but that's it. That's all. Our guys get hurt and
so there's other opportunities. But going in, you know who's
going to be on the team. Now, Page two, we
hop skip and jump to the land in Ohio, and boy,
I know, Dicking Dayton's excited about this. Our caller there
we go over to Cincinnati where we read that the
Bengals wide receiver Jamar Chase was persona non grata. He
(20:41):
did not show up to Tuesday's practice altogether, had other
things that maybe had a dentis appointment or something like that,
while he is waiting for a contract extension from the team.
This does present a different scenario than had played out
in Bengals camp. So how does this change things now
for this Cincinnati football team? So, if what we are
(21:03):
hearing is true, it's a big if. But if what
we're hearing is true, this is a waterloo moment in
the back and forth, the stalemate between the player and
the team. It is because Chase had missed practice. This
is the first time he's just not shown up. Previously,
he was involved in some drills, but he hadn't It's
(21:25):
not like he hadn't been there. He was physically there,
he just wasn't doing a lot. And now he's turning
to a sci fi movie from like fifteen years ago.
I think it was at Avatar, and he's like, the
Bengals are not getting the message, and so what he's
doing here is he's turning up the heat on the Bengals.
This is a aggressive move. This is he's turning up
(21:49):
the heat switch in senderies on and seeing the Bengals
scatter like roaches. My favorite line was the Bengals head
coaches like, oh, he's day to day? What is he
day to day with? He just didn't show up because
he's upset with his contract day to day? Now, Chase,
Who's I think twenty four if I remember correctly, He
continues to be at loggerheads with Mike Brown. What can
(22:12):
Brown do for you? Probably not to give you the
contract your heart desires. He's entering his fourth season, so
the Bengals do not have to do anything at this point. However,
everyone other than the Cowboys pretty much bends over to
the players that demand a new contract because these are
boom times in the NFL. But Jamar Chase's entering his
fourth season. So if by mather math is correct on
(22:35):
Jamar Chase, he's got two years left on the rookie deal,
the second being that fully guaranteed fifth year option. So
next year is the time to really give him the contract.
And the Bengals they're gonna hold on to all the
shekels they can hold on to until they have to
pay him. Now, final point, we go to South Florida
where weed Man Hippie could be found on Lincoln Road.
(22:57):
Our caller from Miami. But the story out of Miami
me to cut my attention or Miami adjacent. What did
you take away from quarterback Tua Tongue of Iloa who
got paid? Even one of the guys that got paid.
Guy doesn't perform well in big games at least in
the NFL, but overmatched by cold weather. So you gave
(23:18):
a guy I know they're in the Miami Well, how
often do the Dolphins have home field? Not often, so
they're gonna have to play every year. They're gonna play
in Baltimore, or you go through the AFC, the top Buffalo,
even though they're not as good as they were, the
cold water Kansas City. He's your cold weather outdoor teams,
and they gave a guy who can't play in cold
weather and has to win to the super Bowl. You
(23:40):
have to win the AFC, which means you're gonna have
to play well into place like Kansas City, Buffalo, Baltimore,
Pittsburgh at one of those places they give him. The
money makes a lot of sense. Anyway, It's not about him,
it's about what he said. So to a tongue of
Iiloa recently said that he needs to see Odell Beckham
run and catch before he can tell you how he
(24:00):
fits into the Dolphins offense, says ob Jay has been
limited to mostly spectator duty and catch. But that's about it,
not catch and run. So what do you make of this?
What's your takeaway from that particular comment. I give you
the gist of it from tu a tongue of bel
I'm glad you asked. So Tua is playing a classic
(24:20):
elementary school game. He is playing the game dodgeball is
what he's playing, right, And he's giving you a version
of the truth, but not the whole truth and nothing
but the truth, more of the subtle truth. He's like
the subtle truth guy. Because when you look at the
food chain in Miami, what Tua was really saying, he
didn't like to lie that much. He's one of these guys,
very religious guy. I didn't like to lie. A lot
(24:41):
of these guys love lying. He didn't like to lie.
So he kind of skirts around the issue. And what
he's saying here is that there's no issue. And as
we said the food chain there in Miami, that the
supply chain is good. And the way it works, you've
got the pillars. You've got the two pillars. You've got
on one side, Tyreek Hill and the other side you've
(25:04):
got Jalen Wattle. They both got paid. They combined last
season for fifty percent of the targets for the Dolphins.
Those two guys got fifty percent of the available targets. Now,
following the Dynamos for Miami, you then fall off a cliff.
So in theory, there's an opportunity for Odell Beckham Junior
(25:25):
to take over and do great things, and people are
very excited about that. But Odell Beckham, who is competing
against a rookie Malik Washington and some veterans in Braxton
Barrios and Willie Snead, who does not like Tua. He's
a big name, but he's got a little game left.
And we saw the final moment Odell Beckham in that
(25:46):
Super Bowl to me, the greatest super Bowl of my life,
in my adult life. Rams Bengals, O MG, what an
amazing super Bowl. But Beckham early on was he was great.
He was the top player in the field and he
got hurt and that's it acl injury. He's been a
shell of his former self since then, and he continues
(26:06):
to get opportunities. He bounces out. It was with Baltimore.
Now he's going to Miami, and he'll be in Miami
a short time and then go somewhere else.

us something that we're expecting to hear, we're going to
assume it's off right.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that would be accurate. Mike the Leprechaun
has a question. He's called in Michael Leprechan in the
Boston area.
Speaker 6 (28:49):
Hello, Mike, good morning, Lorena. I have a very important question.
Are you ready? I was Are you ready? I was
dating this really cute kick, and I guarantee you. I
gave her a bunch of reassurance. But then a problem happened.
She began comparing my crowd size with the X followers,
(29:09):
and then she said, I weren't vomits? Could you believe that?
Speaker 4 (29:13):
I can believe that? Actually?
Speaker 6 (29:16):
Do you happen to know that? Baby Brandaga?
Speaker 4 (29:18):
No, but I totally agree with you. Should probably work
on that.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Okay, Well, thank you for yeah, hang up on yourself.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
Good luck, go away, good luck in the love department. Leprechaun?
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Is it tough for leprechauns to find love?
Speaker 9 (29:33):
I know it's tough for leprechauns to find love because
all thereafter is the pot of gold?
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Yeah, but aren't a lot of women after the pot
of gold? Also? So it would not make sense.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
Do leprechauns ever share their gold? Ben?
Speaker 1 (29:46):
I don't know, but I used to do the leprechaun
What are those cookies that used to make? They had
the leprechaun mask? Got the Keebler cookies back there? Oh,
I thought they were a leprechaun. What's the diff between
an elf and a leprechaun?
Speaker 4 (29:58):
Origin?
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Elves living trees leprechauns under bridges and.
Speaker 8 (30:03):
Elves are bigger than leprechauns.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
But like if you were to play a game between
elves and leprechauns, like who would win? I got my
money on the el I got alp that.
Speaker 9 (30:13):
Scary movie about leprechauns. Leprechauns are definitely winning.
Speaker 8 (30:16):
And they're they're from Ireland. They're probably drunk. They like
to fight.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Advantage elves, Yeah, taking on a bunch of drunks, elves sober. Yeah,
they're quick, they're fast. The elf the leprechaun not so much.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
All right.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
If you want to ask the Marit question eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox, you want to try to
sneak in here fer dog? Right? And he says, if
a girl leaves a date early to feed her pet ants,
do you think she's not interested? I even asked her
what her aunt's name, what the names were, and she
didn't have an answer.
Speaker 6 (30:49):
Right.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
There was a guy who called the other day who
was a hollering James, uh, whiskey drink and pete? Who
was it?
Speaker 9 (30:55):
I don't know, Blind Scott, Yeah it was it was
someone along those lines.
Speaker 4 (30:59):
And they said that they like to go feed their cat.
Speaker 9 (31:01):
And same idea, Like, if I'm hanging out with my guy,
I ain't leaving.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
Even if my cat is starving.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
So if you like the person you're not, I want
to know you don't.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Want to spend less time with them, you want to
spend more.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Yeah, it's usually a dead giveaway. Bye bye, a giveaway.
Speaker 4 (31:23):
She's just not that into you.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Now, have you thought, Lorena, since you're doing this every
every week here, have you thought that you could like branch.
Speaker 4 (31:31):
Out of course ever branch out?
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Well, no, I'm saying you could do like on the side,
like a Queen of Hearts podcast or something like that.
Have you pitched that to the company.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
Like an all love line?
Speaker 9 (31:44):
You know, I haven't because it's sports you no, No,
But I do a podcast.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
I hardly talk about sports at all.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
Do you think they support me and my love casting?
Speaker 1 (31:53):
If you're providing content? One thing I know about this
company they love content, especially cheap content. They love that.
So if you could do that, it would be absolutely amazing,
absolutely amazing if you pull that off. So I'm just I'm.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
Telling you definitely something to think about.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
You can pitch it. Yeah, and yeah, there's a channel
for you. There's definitely a channel for you. It's the
Queen of Farce. Let me go page down here. I
gotta find Oh, I don't think I can read on the.
Speaker 8 (32:21):
Air because I think you missed a good one.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Which is the good one? I missed a lot from
the King Rory? Which one did he send?
Speaker 8 (32:28):
He said, what is the proper way to discipline a
child that is not yours but was left that you
were left in charge of?
Speaker 7 (32:34):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (32:35):
God, always good to give advice to parents on how
to discipline their kids.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
Well, this isn't his parent. That's the problem.
Speaker 9 (32:42):
So he's been left in charge of a child who
is not his child, and he feels like he can't
discipline them because when the when the other parent come home,
you know, the kid's gonna be like, oh my god.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Well that's fair. I mean, that is fair, because give
me because no, but I mean these kids are you
know what the kid's gonna do? Well, you did you
see what this guy did? You know what that is?
Speaker 4 (33:02):
This is my thing?
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Rory?
Speaker 8 (33:03):
It was Rory?
Speaker 9 (33:03):
Right, Yeah, So beat him with a stick and if
the mom has a problem with it, don't leave your
kid with me, because if you're if your kid's.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Not acting with a stick.
Speaker 8 (33:14):
Your advice, your if your daughter was hanging out at
a friend's.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
House, you're with a stick.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Unbelievable. You heard me, you're I know. I was just
going to say, the angry bill is going to get
you can listen.
Speaker 9 (33:28):
If your girlfriend is leaving you with a horrible child,
you need to have that discussion too, because that's not
your problem.
Speaker 4 (33:34):
Sorry.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Now, have you thought Lorena possibly changing the hashtag for
Queen of pos because, uh, some people have taken that
hashtag Lorraina and since some very interesting things interesting.
Speaker 4 (33:47):
I want to see what they are. I don't know.
Come look on your computer.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Well no, it's hard to miss them. You just type
in Queen of Hearts there, and all of the.
Speaker 9 (33:55):
Time I look up Queen of Hearts, I see like
weird things that aren't anything inappropriate.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
I gotta see this really.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Why he says in a program, I me, it's really
you're you're if you're in the Bible belt or not.
But yeah, all right, the Queen of Hearts there she goes.

still doing number one. Let's go with crash. I got
(37:57):
nothing good, throw it out. Where we were looking for
was crunch? I would I would have used the mald maneuver,

(01:37):
Tiraq dot com the way tire buying shoult be so
aarle this hour. Play the hits, my man, play this
I We're gonna play this. Our lead coming out of
the Bay area. The bay are by the way. Fun
fact bonus five. The door left open to the studio.
So should I get should I wake up? Should I
(01:59):
walk up and closed the door? Should I do it?
All right, I'm gonna walk o. I'm gonna close the door.
Jason Smith and Mike Carmon walked out. They did not
close the door. I can hear talking. I'm gonna born
in a barn.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
They must have been must I'm.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Closing the door. All right, I've now closed the door.
I'm not walking back over. It's live library. There's a
lot of talking in the hallways here, a lot of
gossiping in the hallways. All right, listen. But it's all
about the hits and the football discussion. The football discussion.
(02:32):
So everyone's favorite disgruntled NFL player making some news here.
If you didn't see it, if you have not heard
the list, maybe not. We've learned now that the Petsburg
Steelers the Pittsburgh Steelers have emerged as the overwhelming favorite
to acquire the top available pass catcher. They have the
(02:54):
building blocks done in a potential trad This is not
any new revelation and that part of the story. We
had heard. The framework was done for a trade with
the forty nine Ers, and they've already talked about a
Brandon IOK contract extension. However, there is a monkey wrench
in the plans here. San Francisco has an offer out
to Brandon Aouk and a long term deal for him
(03:17):
to stay by the Bay. He has not accepted that.
We're hearing whispers that the forty nine Ers think they
can get that done. That's not a guarantee, but they
think they can get a deal done. They're not that
far from getting his John Hancock or his DOCU sign
(03:37):
and getting the deal done. They have not yet pulled
the trigger on a trade with the Steelers as a
result of that. So let us discuss the question here
for the esteemed panel, what do you make of these
latest revelations, these latest developments in the epic Brandon Aok
(04:00):
drama by the Bay. So I've got a Laddin's Cave
Netflix and Peter principle, and we will combine all of
these things together, and we are going to make a
motorcycle which you can drive. I've never driven a motorcycle.
But the fact that you're able in the state i'man
(04:20):
You're able to cut in between lanes. It seems like
you get where you need to go much quicker. You
also might get killed, but you know it's a risk,
all right. So a let's start with this. Brandon Iyak
right now in the cartoon bubble above my head is
playing a classic game show, Let's Make a Deal. He's
playing Let's make a Deal. The ball is in his court.
(04:42):
Everyone to say, the compass the money compass. You can
go east, you can stay west, you can go north
or south, any of those directions. It doesn't matter. Does
he take though, what's behind door number one, door number two,
or door number three? How exciting and nerve wracking at
(05:03):
the same time, because you got to relocate ultimately, though,
no matter which direction he leads down the path from
the compass, whatever direction he goes, randon I OK. There.
This is in Aladdin's cave situation, meaning that he is
in a place now where he's going to get a
(05:23):
bunch of treasures from the magic Lamp the Aladdin's Cave, right,
and he can stay with the Niners. The difficulty there
is you're the third of the fourth option if you
stay with the Niners outside of injuries, if the team
stays relatively healthy. Christian McCaffrey is option one, and really
one A and one B for the Niners. And then
(05:44):
after that it's a toss up between Deebo Samuel who
kills my rams, and then mister Kittle at tight end.
So that's what you got. And then number three or four,
depending how you rotated, is Brandon and I. So if
you take toward number one, you leave the forty nine
ers and you wrap yourself with a terrible town. Now
(06:07):
my advice is head to Pennsylvania. That is my advice
here for a couple of reasons. You get to dine
on Perogi's, You get that, You get the Pittsburgh salad,
now next to the Canadian salad. I do enjoy the
Pittsburgh salad. I am more prone to the Canadian salad.
(06:29):
I like that better, but the Pittsburgh salad pretty good.
And you get that to it iron City beer or
something like that, you're ready to go right now. I
do like the Pittsburgh sala. If you've never had a
Pittsburgh salad, that's where they give you like the veggies,
but they toss on top grilled meat, shredded cheese and fries.
They put the fries on top there. Now, in yinzer Land,
(06:49):
the land of the Yinzer, the player Brandon Ayuk would
be playing with a blank spot at quarterback, so he
would not be in an advantageous situation at quarterback. However,
you would get the vast majority of targets. You're clearly
the top receiver. You'd get the money. And the advice
(07:10):
is to go to Mike Tomlins Pittsburgh Steelers. Here, elevate
one of those dogs with fleas at quarterback and make
them better. And also from a financial standpoint, if the
money's the same, you're gonna get a twenty percent bump
by not playing in California. So why even I know
(07:31):
those taxes in Pennsylvania, taxes everywhere, but cost of living
between Pittsburgh and northern California, money goes twenty percent over
twenty percent. Further, the cost of living is like twenty
percent lower in Pittsburgh than it is in northern California.
But that's extra fundy money, So you're gonna make a
(07:53):
lot of money. Is when you know, I've been told
by some of these these yahoos over the years that
it doesn't matter. I mean, make a certain amount of money,
doesn't matter. You don't worry about it. How much gas
is or how much a gallon of milk. You don't
worry about that because you can afford it. So who
cares you're paying a little more, but no matter to you.
You don't know. But all things being equal, why not?
Now we turned the page here. Sportico came out with
(08:15):
their financial evaluations for the NFL, and if you saw this,
but they said that the Dallas Cowboys, how about Cowboys?
The Dallas Cowboys are now worth ten point three billion.
So the question is, how are the Dallas Cowboys worth
ten point three billion? We know they are the most
(08:37):
talked about team, that's part of it. But the real
reason all of these franchise values have gone up, they
can think Netflix. Every NFL team, baseball team, basketball team,
every member of the industrial complex can thank the Netflix effect.
That television has shifted to on demand. We all watch
(08:59):
it on demand. Most shows are done on demand, which
means it's even harder to get people to consume the
most important part of television or radio the advertising, right,
so engagement of the customers. It's kind of obvious here,
you knew that, and so live television. They have live television,
get people to watch it very difficult. The NFL and
(09:19):
the other sports leagues that have an audience. But the
NFL's got the biggest audience. The last of the Mohegans.
I must see TV in the live format and that's it.
The Cowboys for as much crap as Jerry Jones gets
as a pure businessman in marketing, one of the great
showmen of our time. No one is better than Jerry
(09:41):
Jones in the modern world of football, in professional sport marketing.
The greatest show on earth the Dallas Cowboys, and in Texas,
Jerry will tell you it's faith, it's family, and it's
how about them Cowboys? Yeah, just like that, not necessarily
in that order, but this is a teachable moment. The
(10:01):
Cowboys are what we call old money. They have not
won his former Fox Sports radio host Jim Mora would say,
they have not won Diddley Pooh in a generation. Yet
they continue to be at the pole position in the
money race. A right last word here we go to
the high speed transaction wire where he's back. Who is he?
(10:26):
Explain your pronouns? So Nathan Peterman. Nathan Peterman has returned
to the NFL training camp roster was released by the
Saints not that long ago, and he has lashed on
with one of his former teams, the Raiders. Now the
Raiders are deciding between my guy Gardner, Minshew and O'Connell
(10:49):
at quarterback, but they have added Nathan Peterman. So can
you explain how this continues to happen? Nathan Peterman keeps
getting jobs in the NFL. So he is the living
embodiment of a term that doesn't get used all that
much anymore, but is a great term, the Peter principle.
Just google it. It's appropriate for his name Peterman, because
(11:14):
we should change the Peter principle to the Peterman principle.
Nathan Peterman. If you don't know what the Peter principle is,
by the way, you can look it up. But I'll
tell you. It's a case where you're promoted at a
company and you reach your highest level of incompetence and
you remain there for example, look at yours truly or
listen to yours truly. Started out as a young upstart
(11:37):
talk show host, and I have landed at my highest
level of incompetence overnight radio, and here we are still here.
But for Peterman, he's the savvy, veteran captain clipboard and
the epitome of a backups backup Nathan Peterman whose claim
(11:57):
to fame is a historically bad performance for Buffalo against
the Chargers. But Nathan Peterman, he's a camp arm will
he be a third quarterback practice squad guy. He shows
up on time, he works hard. The coaches say, right,
you can make all the throws. He's got a big body,
good locker room guy, positive energy, passion, coachable, has all
(12:20):
those intangibles. Of course, you have to have a blind spot.
You gotta be like Inka tear blind, Emmet, blind Scott,
many of the great blind Elizabeth, the most famous blind
callers on this show. But you have to overlook the
fact that Nathan Peterman sucks when he actually played. You
have to overlook that how bad has Nathan Peterman been?
(12:41):
I'm glad you asked he enters. Now what is his
seventh season? Not that He's likely to make the Raiders,
but his seventh NFL season. Nathan Peterman Peter Principal, The
Peterman Principle. He has four career touchdown passes and thirteen
interceptions in what is going to be the start of
his seventh year in the NFL, but he keeps getting
(13:02):
gigs fascinating.

to do a rant about Rogers. Is what he said
the other day in an unauthorized autobiography where he said
he regretted so he was immune. He used the immunity
line there during COVID, remember that line, and he regretted it,
but he said it was because like marketing reasons. But
I don't care about that. The non conformist quarterback Aaron Rodgers,
(15:29):
he has chimed in on the value of exhibition football,
so he didn't hear what he said. The Jets quarterback
Aaron Rodgers pointed out when asked about practice games and
all this stuff, and he said he's not missing any
real football staying on the sidelines to begin the exhibition season.
(15:52):
But rather than me give you the verbatim quote, let's
go to the audio tape. Here's Aaron Rodgers on this
whole preseason thing.
Speaker 7 (16:00):
Preseason is not what it used to be. Is to
see if young guys, once the lights go on and
the pads go on the tackling happens, if they can,
if they can show up, or if they don't. So
what's there a gain, you know, just going out there
and being back on the field in a situation where
you could get hit. Preseason is it's.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Not real football, Fike, it's fake. He went on to
talk about how the teams don't show anything and they
show more stuff in practice and all that stuff. So
that last part that preseason is not real football. That's
what we call the money quote. So let us discuss
the question Aaron Rodgers. As you heard, they're saying that
the NFL preseason is not real football and it doesn't
(16:40):
matter whether he plays or not. Your thoughts on that.
So I've got bout a bing sci fi and food chain.
Combind all these things together, and we are going to
make a migraine headache. If you hear Rico call the
show called Last Star Rico from Denver, you'll get a
migraine headache. So bur yes, all right, Aaron Rodgers, you
(17:07):
say what you want? Is this that and the other thing?
Firebrand vice presidential? I never got that, but his name
was mentioned. His name was mentioned. But this is one issue.
And there's people that love Aaron Rodgers. There's people that
despise Aaron Rodgers. Thus he is a polarizing figure. But
(17:27):
this topic of conversation for Rogers talking about preseason football,
this is what's known in politics as a bipartisan issue
that both sides of the aisle can agree. We're in
lockstep with Aaron Rodgers. We are. Exhibition football is a
waste of your time. It is a waste of my time.
(17:48):
It is a waste of everyone's time, the most valuable
resource we all have as human beings, and it's being
wasted on this exhibition football, right. It just is so
in this particular take, Rogers crafted a masterpiece. He did.
He did saying the quiet part out loud. Every man,
woman and child knows this to be the gospel when
(18:09):
it comes to practice football, just the way it is.
And this is one of those tamboos in the NFL
that they don't like to talk about. I remember years
ago when I interviewed Dennis Green. I was coaching the
Vikings at the time, and he's more known and more
famous for a rant when he was coaching the Cardinals,
(18:31):
and you know, they are who we thought they were.
But Dennis Green, cool guy, was like a into jazz
a lot, and I interviewed him, was like, oh, it
was like preseason. And so I was like, I said,
my exhibitions and Dennis Green like he got all offended
and he's like, well, you know, it's Bennett's a preseason.
We don't call that exhibition season. Give me his whole ring.
And that's continued, you know, so talking points memo from
(18:54):
the NFL. They've done this over the years, but it's
it's one of these is I going to the neighborhood
up exhibition football is like going to the neighborhood pub.
We'll call it the in honor of the Sopranos, the
bottle being. You go down there to have a drink
and you find out that all of the alcohol is
watered down, water down alcohol, and it's like zero percent alcohol.
(19:15):
And this is a water down, not just water down beer,
zero percent. And it's one of these things like back
in the Bronze age before, when the NFL was a
mom and pop operation, you actually had a chance to
make a roster. You could impress somebody and you could
play yourself off a roster. And back when the meton
(19:35):
were met and they had hair on their chest and
all that stuff, and they had have real jobs, had
have construction jobs or sell cars in the off season,
those days are gone. Like trying to find cheap Big Max,
you know, just gone. And there are fifty five players,
fifty five players on an NFL team's roster. There are
fifty three on the active roster. There are forty eight
(19:55):
players that dress on a Sunday or Thursday or a
Monday in the NFL. So with that NFL teams. By
the time they show up the camp, they know ninety
eight percent of those jobs are filled. A couple of
spots on the backside the practice squad that are available,
(20:16):
but that's it. That's all. Our guys get hurt and
so there's other opportunities. But going in, you know who's
going to be on the team. Now, Page two, we
hop skip and jump to the land in Ohio, and boy,
I know, Dicking Dayton's excited about this. Our caller there
we go over to Cincinnati where we read that the
Bengals wide receiver Jamar Chase was persona non grata. He
(20:41):
did not show up to Tuesday's practice altogether, had other
things that maybe had a dentis appointment or something like that,
while he is waiting for a contract extension from the team.
This does present a different scenario than had played out
in Bengals camp. So how does this change things now
for this Cincinnati football team? So, if what we are
(21:03):
hearing is true, it's a big if. But if what
we're hearing is true, this is a waterloo moment in
the back and forth, the stalemate between the player and
the team. It is because Chase had missed practice. This
is the first time he's just not shown up. Previously,
he was involved in some drills, but he hadn't It's
(21:25):
not like he hadn't been there. He was physically there,
he just wasn't doing a lot. And now he's turning
to a sci fi movie from like fifteen years ago.
I think it was at Avatar, and he's like, the
Bengals are not getting the message, and so what he's
doing here is he's turning up the heat on the Bengals.
This is a aggressive move. This is he's turning up
(21:49):
the heat switch in senderies on and seeing the Bengals
scatter like roaches. My favorite line was the Bengals head
coaches like, oh, he's day to day? What is he
day to day with? He just didn't show up because
he's upset with his contract day to day? Now, Chase,
Who's I think twenty four if I remember correctly, He
continues to be at loggerheads with Mike Brown. What can
(22:12):
Brown do for you? Probably not to give you the
contract your heart desires. He's entering his fourth season, so
the Bengals do not have to do anything at this point. However,
everyone other than the Cowboys pretty much bends over to
the players that demand a new contract because these are
boom times in the NFL. But Jamar Chase's entering his
fourth season. So if by mather math is correct on
(22:35):
Jamar Chase, he's got two years left on the rookie deal,
the second being that fully guaranteed fifth year option. So
next year is the time to really give him the contract.
And the Bengals they're gonna hold on to all the
shekels they can hold on to until they have to
pay him. Now, final point, we go to South Florida
where weed Man Hippie could be found on Lincoln Road.
(22:57):
Our caller from Miami. But the story out of Miami
me to cut my attention or Miami adjacent. What did
you take away from quarterback Tua Tongue of Iloa who
got paid? Even one of the guys that got paid.
Guy doesn't perform well in big games at least in
the NFL, but overmatched by cold weather. So you gave
(23:18):
a guy I know they're in the Miami Well, how
often do the Dolphins have home field? Not often, so
they're gonna have to play every year. They're gonna play
in Baltimore, or you go through the AFC, the top Buffalo,
even though they're not as good as they were, the
cold water Kansas City. He's your cold weather outdoor teams,
and they gave a guy who can't play in cold
weather and has to win to the super Bowl. You
(23:40):
have to win the AFC, which means you're gonna have
to play well into place like Kansas City, Buffalo, Baltimore,
Pittsburgh at one of those places they give him. The
money makes a lot of sense. Anyway, It's not about him,
it's about what he said. So to a tongue of
Iiloa recently said that he needs to see Odell Beckham
run and catch before he can tell you how he
(24:00):
fits into the Dolphins offense, says ob Jay has been
limited to mostly spectator duty and catch. But that's about it,
not catch and run. So what do you make of this?
What's your takeaway from that particular comment. I give you
the gist of it from tu a tongue of bel
I'm glad you asked. So Tua is playing a classic
(24:20):
elementary school game. He is playing the game dodgeball is
what he's playing, right, And he's giving you a version
of the truth, but not the whole truth and nothing
but the truth, more of the subtle truth. He's like
the subtle truth guy. Because when you look at the
food chain in Miami, what Tua was really saying, he
didn't like to lie that much. He's one of these guys,
very religious guy. I didn't like to lie. A lot
(24:41):
of these guys love lying. He didn't like to lie.
So he kind of skirts around the issue. And what
he's saying here is that there's no issue. And as
we said the food chain there in Miami, that the
supply chain is good. And the way it works, you've
got the pillars. You've got the two pillars. You've got
on one side, Tyreek Hill and the other side you've
(25:04):
got Jalen Wattle. They both got paid. They combined last
season for fifty percent of the targets for the Dolphins.
Those two guys got fifty percent of the available targets. Now,
following the Dynamos for Miami, you then fall off a cliff.
So in theory, there's an opportunity for Odell Beckham Junior
(25:25):
to take over and do great things, and people are
very excited about that. But Odell Beckham, who is competing
against a rookie Malik Washington and some veterans in Braxton
Barrios and Willie Snead, who does not like Tua. He's
a big name, but he's got a little game left.
And we saw the final moment Odell Beckham in that
(25:46):
Super Bowl to me, the greatest super Bowl of my life,
in my adult life. Rams Bengals, O MG, what an
amazing super Bowl. But Beckham early on was he was great.
He was the top player in the field and he
got hurt and that's it acl injury. He's been a
shell of his former self since then, and he continues
(26:06):
to get opportunities. He bounces out. It was with Baltimore.
Now he's going to Miami, and he'll be in Miami
a short time and then go somewhere else.

is it a good thing before a date to drink
a bottle of mouthwash? Only if it's the generic store
brand bottle.
Speaker 9 (27:35):

Yeah? To me, it's green. Maybe in your world.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
It's I think they have a yellow flavor.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
That's the original. It's not popular though, it's not.
Speaker 8 (28:10):

Speaker 4 (28:12):
Really?
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Whoa? You're dating yourself, Eddie. Let's get me and Loraina

Speaker 4 (28:18):
It looks like it looks like hand soap.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Yeah, let's see you, mad Jack writes in he says,
do all women need constant reassurance? Or is my woman
the only one?
Speaker 9 (28:30):
Obviously I can't speak for every woman. Why not we
love some reassurance? Yeah, right, Like, if you don't tell
us something that we're expecting to hear, we're going to
assume it's off right.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that would be accurate. Mike the Leprechaun
has a question. He's called in Michael Leprechan in the
Boston area.
Speaker 6 (28:49):
Hello, Mike, good morning, Lorena. I have a very important question.
Are you ready? I was Are you ready? I was
dating this really cute kick, and I guarantee you. I
gave her a bunch of reassurance. But then a problem happened.
She began comparing my crowd size with the X followers,
(29:09):
and then she said, I weren't vomits? Could you believe that?
Speaker 4 (29:13):
I can believe that? Actually?
Speaker 6 (29:16):
Do you happen to know that? Baby Brandaga?
Speaker 4 (29:18):
No, but I totally agree with you. Should probably work
on that.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Okay, Well, thank you for yeah, hang up on yourself.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
Good luck, go away, good luck in the love department. Leprechaun?
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Is it tough for leprechauns to find love?
Speaker 9 (29:33):
I know it's tough for leprechauns to find love because
all thereafter is the pot of gold?
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Yeah, but aren't a lot of women after the pot
of gold? Also? So it would not make sense.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
Do leprechauns ever share their gold? Ben?
Speaker 1 (29:46):
I don't know, but I used to do the leprechaun
What are those cookies that used to make? They had
the leprechaun mask? Got the Keebler cookies back there? Oh,
I thought they were a leprechaun. What's the diff between
an elf and a leprechaun?
Speaker 4 (29:58):
Origin?
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Elves living trees leprechauns under bridges and.
Speaker 8 (30:03):
Elves are bigger than leprechauns.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
But like if you were to play a game between
elves and leprechauns, like who would win? I got my
money on the el I got alp that.
Speaker 9 (30:13):
Scary movie about leprechauns. Leprechauns are definitely winning.
Speaker 8 (30:16):
And they're they're from Ireland. They're probably drunk. They like
to fight.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Advantage elves, Yeah, taking on a bunch of drunks, elves sober. Yeah,
they're quick, they're fast. The elf the leprechaun not so much.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
All right.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
If you want to ask the Marit question eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox, you want to try to
sneak in here fer dog? Right? And he says, if
a girl leaves a date early to feed her pet ants,
do you think she's not interested? I even asked her
what her aunt's name, what the names were, and she
didn't have an answer.
Speaker 6 (30:49):
Right.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
There was a guy who called the other day who
was a hollering James, uh, whiskey drink and pete? Who
was it?
Speaker 9 (30:55):
I don't know, Blind Scott, Yeah it was it was
someone along those lines.
Speaker 4 (30:59):
And they said that they like to go feed their cat.
Speaker 9 (31:01):
And same idea, Like, if I'm hanging out with my guy,
I ain't leaving.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
Even if my cat is starving.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
So if you like the person you're not, I want
to know you don't.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Want to spend less time with them, you want to
spend more.

Which is the good one? I missed a lot from
the King Rory? Which one did he send?
Speaker 8 (32:28):
He said, what is the proper way to discipline a
child that is not yours but was left that you
were left in charge of?
Speaker 7 (32:34):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (32:35):
God, always good to give advice to parents on how
to discipline their kids.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
Well, this isn't his parent. That's the problem.
Speaker 9 (32:42):
So he's been left in charge of a child who
is not his child, and he feels like he can't
discipline them because when the when the other parent come home,
you know, the kid's gonna be like, oh my god.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Well that's fair. I mean, that is fair, because give
me because no, but I mean these kids are you
know what the kid's gonna do? Well, you did you
see what this guy did? You know what that is?
Speaker 4 (33:02):
This is my thing?
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Rory?
Speaker 8 (33:03):
It was Rory?
Speaker 9 (33:03):
Right, Yeah, So beat him with a stick and if
the mom has a problem with it, don't leave your
kid with me, because if you're if your kid's.

If your girlfriend is leaving you with a horrible child,
you need to have that discussion too, because that's not
your problem.
